Chapter 206  . Advancing Step by Step

Mo Qian did not expose Zhuang Xian. He smiled and nodded, replying, “Alright, I understand. Thank you.”

Zhuang Xian sighed slightly. After thinking for a while, she said, “I thank you too.”

“Eh? What?” Mo Qian asked in return.

Zhuang Xian licked her dry lips and said in an unnatural tone, “Thank you for coming to pick me up, and thank you for the school opening gift. It’s very original!”

“You’re welcome. I’m willing to. As for the ‘original idea’ you mentioned, I’ll take it as a compliment!” As Mo Qian spoke, the smile at the corner of his mouth became more apparent.

“I’m complimenting you; you don’t have to be so modest.” Zhuang Xian’s mood brightened as she spoke. She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Mo Qian. “After all, very few people would think of giving others such a gift. Let me guess, did Si Rong teach you this again? ”

Mo Qian raised his eyebrows. His amorous eyes were full of playfulness as if he wasn’t afraid that Zhuang Xian would expose his clumsy way of pursuing her. “How did you know it was Si Rong?” he asked.

“I guessed it! Xiang Nan doesn’t seem to be such a romantic person.”

Mo Qian smiled and asked, “Why do you say so? Shouldn’t Xiang Nan be more similar? After all, he’s at the age where he loves to be romantic!”

The two of them chatted casually as if they didn’t realize their happiness. They were making fun of each other. Zhuang Xian thought about Xiang Nan’s usual style and smiled. “I’m guessing that doctor Si is more of a romantic rationalist.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Qian nodded and said softly, “Then, is my present romantic? Do you like it?”

Zhuang Xian was stunned. The nerves in her brain seemed to have been jolted up again. She fell silent! Zhuang Xian didn’t know how to answer Mo Qian’s question. Some ambiguity could be broken with a single poke and couldn’t withstand repeated probing. However, Mo Qian was also a person who would not give up until he achieved his goal, and he was also a person who would advance step by step!

Zhuang Xian was truly afraid of Mo Qian!

So, even when Mo Xi’s voice came from the front, Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian did not say a word.

“Young master! Miss Zhuang, we’re here.”

The driver and Mo Xi both got out of the car. One was carrying Zhuang Xian’s luggage, and the other reached out to help Zhuang Xian open the door.

Before Mo Xi could open the car door, Mo Qian whispered to Zhuang Xian, “Sometimes, I feel that you’re like an animal!”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhuang Xian’s exquisite and bright side profile. “Do you know which one it is? It’s a hedgehog. It shrinks into its armor after being rubbed by someone. It is a coward, but its appearance is self-righteous and unapproachable!”

The car door was pulled open by Mo Xi from outside, and a cool breeze gushed in. Zhuang Xian’s feet only paused for a moment before she immediately returned to normal. She stood up and left her seat, not responding to Mo Qian’s words.

As she watched Zhuang Xian leave with her luggage, Mo Xi turned around and looked at the young master. He asked in a low voice, “Aren’t we going to send the Zhuang family’s fourth daughter in?”

Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian’s back until she walked through the Zhuang family’s front door. Then, he retracted his gaze, looking a little tired. “Let’s go back to the company.”

Mo Xi saw that the young master was not in a good mood and did not dare to ask more. He nodded and returned to the front passenger seat.

Zhuang Xian, who had fallen onto the bed, stared at the beautiful ceiling light with wide eyes. She thought about what Mo Qian had just said, and the corner of her mouth twitched as she complained, “So what if I’m a hedgehog? Who was in the way? Old man, you’re just trying to be mysterious. Why don’t you take a look at the age difference between us? I’m still an underaged girl!”

As Zhuang Xian spoke, she seemed very irritated as she thumped the soft mattress a few times, her mouth making an unknown sound.

However, after three minutes, Zhuang Xian fell asleep. Her fatigue from the past three days was almost on par with the anxiety she felt when dealing with Mo Qian.

The security guard at the front yard mentioned that Zhuang Xian had only returned home at 5:30 am. When he returned to the living room, he saw Lin En preparing breakfast for his family. He asked, “Xian ‘er is still not up?”

Lin En nodded lightly and put the warm milk on the table. “She came back too late last night. Let her sleep for a while. Don’t they start reporting at 2 pm? What’s the hurry!”

Walking towards Lin En, Zhuang Hang took a deep breath and said, “I’m not in a hurry. I just heard the security guard mention it. By the way, Mo Qian was the one who brought my sister back this morning!”
