Chapter 2498

The car drove a little further, getting farther away from the parking lot.

Xiaoyao slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road, released the steering wheel, and said flatly, “Get past.”

Xi’er had been waiting for a long time and finally got to this moment.

She hurriedly stood up from Xiaoyao’s lap, but as soon as she stood, she suddenly felt a tingling in her leg and sat back down immediately.

Her soft bottom landed on Xiaoyao’s strong thigh muscles, and the touch made Xiaoyao’s body tense up involuntarily.

Even though the feeling was nice, an instant dislike rose within.

“Get off.”

Xiaoyao’s voice rose a little, a trace of coldness breaking through.

Xi’er indeed wanted to stand up, but her leg truly lacked strength.

She thought for a moment and helplessly released her grip on the clothes, bracing herself on the car’s console to slowly climb up.

But in doing so, her unbuttoned white shirt opened completely.

Her fair skin was displayed right in front of Xiaoyao, at close range.

Xiaoyao felt his breath hitch, his dark eyes dimming several shades.

This woman was unexpectedly good at seducing people.

Thinking about it, it seemed all of this was his own doing, and the anger he wanted to unleash was forcibly swallowed.

Xi’er’s movements were very slow, partly because the car’s roof space was indeed small, making it inconvenient to climb to the passenger seat.

Xiaoyao couldn’t take it anymore and directly lifted Xi’er up from below, placing her on the passenger seat as if she were a light object.

She sat up, her face already turning red.

Regarding this man, Xi’er was truly speechless.

She tightened her clothes, sneaking a glance at Xiaoyao, but he seemed indifferent, looking calmly ahead.

Xi’er glanced at his abdomen, where a dark red bloodstain was visible on his clothes.

“Your wound has bled quite a bit, while there’s no one around, how about bandaging it up?”

Xiaoyao didn’t pay her any attention, placing one hand back on the steering wheel and the other preparing to change gears.

Xi’er spoke again, “There may be danger ahead; aren’t you afraid that the wound might affect you?”

Xiaoyao raised his sword-like brows, finally casting his gaze on Xi’er.

He stared into Xi’er’s captivating eyes, wanting to discern what exactly this woman was thinking.

Xi’er was a bit taken aback by his gaze, not knowing what thoughts he harbored, her heart started pounding.

After a while, Xiaoyao suddenly said, “She doesn’t seem to care about whether you live or die, does she?”

Xi’er knew exactly who “she” referred to in Xiaoyao’s words.

Nonetheless, she couldn’t help but be stunned.

A hint of complexity floated in her eyes; she was also quite puzzled about this.

Even though Nangong Yun didn’t always see Xi’er favorably at the Bei Family, she hadn’t actively sought to offend Nangong Yun.

Today, Nangong Yun had directly attacked her.

No matter the reason, this shouldn’t be something members of the Bei Family would do to each other.

However, she didn’t want too much of her and Nangong Yun’s private matters to be known by outsiders.

Otherwise, people might think that the Bei Family was naturally disunited, leading to further complications.

Seeing her remain silent, Xiaoyao asked again, “Does she normally dislike you?”

This was crucial; he needed the answer.

Xiaoyao already sensed that today’s events might not be as simple as they appeared.

Xi’er looked at his manner, unsure why he asked such a question, still hesitating whether to respond.

Finally, she said, “Yes, she does have a bit of an issue with me.”
