Han Qiqing was stunned because she hadn"t told her parents that she was going on a trip to Nanxiang Old Town. She was going to call and tell her mother after school ended so that her mother wouldn"t ask if she was skipping cla.s.ses.

Her eyes rolled around as she tried to come up with a lie, but upon seeing those cold eyes of his, she knew that she wouldn"t be able to fool him.

Her hands holding the shoulder straps, she owned up and said, "I"m going with Xiaoxiao to Nanxiang Old Town. There"s a Water Lantern Festival being held there, right? You know Xiaoxiao has been in America for the past four years. She wanted to take a trip there. So today, we"re…"

She didn"t dare to say that they were skipping cla.s.ses as she felt the sharpness in his gaze.

However, even without her saying, he already understood her.

Han Qiqing put on a pitiful act, with her palms together, she pleaded with him, saying, "Brother, please don"t tell Pa and Ma, okay? It"s only for today. We"re only skipping cla.s.ses for one day. It"s not a big deal. It"s not like I won"t be able to catch up with the course, right?"

He slowly finished his coffee and stood up. Staring at her with cold eyes, he said, "I"ll send you there."

Han Qiqing stared blankly for a moment, and she suddenly realized what he was saying. Was he approving her skipping cla.s.ses?

She wanted to cheer and scream, but upon considering that she shouldn"t get too carried away she swallowed her excitement.

Of course, she didn"t refuse his offer to send her although she seemed to have not received such treatment from him before.

But then again, Song"s residence and his office seemed to be on a similar route.

Han Qiqing looked at the coffee on the table and said, "You"re only having coffee? Aren"t you going to have breakfast?"

"No time," he said tepidly. Then he took the blazer from the helper, put it on, and went out.

Han Qiqing followed behind him, and said earnestly, "How can you not eat anything for breakfast? And it"s not good to have coffee with an empty stomach, right?"

"It"s fine."

Of course, Han Qiqing knew that she couldn"t persuade him, but she still had to get it off her chest.

"If there"s still time, you should still have a little breakfast. Otherwise, it"ll really be bad for your body in the long run."

"Yeah."

Han Qiqing followed behind him as they went out.

Outside the gate, the family"s car was already waiting for them.

Watching the two come out together, the chauffeur broke out in an odd expression which he quickly hid away.

The chauffeur pulled open the door for her.

Han Qiqing was busy talking and forgot to lower her head and she almost hit her head against the door. Fortunately, a palm appeared in time to protect her forehead from the b.u.mp.

The chauffeur was shocked and bent at his waist to apologize, "Sorry. Miss, I"m sorry. Young master, I"m sorry."

"It"s okay. It"s no big deal." Han Qiqing thought that it was her fault, but when she glanced at her brother his expression seemed cold.

She quickly said to him, "I"m fine, really. Don"t blame him."

"Get in," he uttered, but his hand was still on the door.

Han Qiqing nodded and got in the car.

The chauffeur was still apologizing, "I"m sorry Young Master. I"ll be more careful next time."

Actually, this was not a mistake that he should be making.

Just being glared at by the young master felt like it had frozen his heart.

Han Qiqing was worried that he would rebuke the chauffeur, so she poked out her little head and said, "Brother, get in. Aren"t you rus.h.i.+ng to the office?"
