Chapter 1013: Chapter 1013: Water Trickling Down the Pant Legs Chapter 1013: Chapter 1013: Water Trickling Down the Pant Legs The rain outside was pouring down as if it didn’t cost a penny, and even though the driver was holding an umbrella for him, it was as if there was no umbrella at all, with the rain being driven by the wind and soaking him from the side.
In an instant, Li Shengxiao’s clothes were pletely drenched, water dripping down his sharp jawline. The sight made the driver’s heart tighten, and he did his best to shift the umbrella towards him while anxiously saying, “Mr. Li, you should go back inside first. I’ll check on the car, and if it really doesn’t work, we’ll do as I said before, I’ll go back to find Mr. Han and have them send a car over.”
“This is a mountain road, it’ll take at least an hour to walk back.” Li Shengxiao opened the car’s hood with one hand, examined the part that had been dented in from the collision, and quickly inspected it. He found that the engine and such were fine; it was just that a cable had been knocked out of place.
“Use your phone to light this up for me.” His expression serious and stern, he adjusted the trouble under the hood as he manded the driver.
The driver couldn’t argue with him and, freeing one hand, he found his cell phone and used its flashlight function to illuminate the area Shengxiao had indicated.
Ten minutes passed.
The driver wiped the rain off his face, the water flowing down his pants. He was beyond the problem of having a soaked undergarment—he could have raised fish in the amount of water pooled in his pants now. Looking over at the man who had e out at the same time as he did, who was also pletely drenched, he felt embarrassed to bring up his earlier suggestion for the boss to go back inside; pared to his own disheveled state, his own boss seemed as casual as if he were strolling in the backyard garden.
After all, they were both soaked to the skin, going back up wouldn’t make much difference now.
A good while passed, so long that the driver thought the repair wasn’t going to work. Numbly holding the umbrella, suddenly, the man who had been bending over to fix the fault swiftly closed the hood and said, “Done.”
“Done?” The driver was a bit stunned from the rain.
Li Shengxiao was soaking wet, his shirt and pants clinging to his body. He disliked this feeling and, frowning, said, “You go up and try if it can start.”
“Right, right.” The driver quickly shoved the umbrella into his hand, dashed back into the car through the rain, and tried to start it.
The black Rolls-Royce emitted a familiar starting sound, and the headlights in front of the car lit up again. Overjoyed, the driver rolled down the window, “Mr. Li, the car’s fixed!”
Rong Yan also opened the car door, looking at the man in the rain curtain, urging him, “Li Shengxiao, e on in.”
Rain mixed with damp air poured into the car, and seeing him pletely soaked, Rong Yan quickly pulled the car door closed and said to the driver in front, “Drive faster back home.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Rong, I’ll definitely drive back to the old mansion as fast as I can.” The driver spoke while starting the car, which began moving smoothly again.
Rong Yan took off her own suit jacket and forcibly draped it over his shoulders, asking, “Li Shengxiao, are you cold?”
She moved too quickly to take off her clothes; before Li Shengxiao could refuse, the jacket, still warm from her body, was already back on him. Now that he was drenched through, any jacket he touched wouldn’t be suitable for her to wear. His brow furrowed in disapproval, “I’m fine. Didn’t I tell you to keep your clothes on? Why are you giving it to me?”
Rong Yan held his drenched, handsome face with both hands, saying without amusement, “You can feel cold too, giving it to you would at least be a bit better. I said earlier that I’d e down with you, but you wouldn’t let me. Seeing you e up like this, I would have felt better if I’d just gotten soaked with you.”
At least that would have made her feel a little better.
