Chapter Fifty-Nine: The First Smile

  The black car stopped steadily in front of her, he got out, still wearing sunglasses, his eyes under the glasses staring straight at her: "Where to?"

  "Uh... going... to the market..." Snowflakes fell, obscuring his eyes, but he could feel sweat breaking out on his back, probably because of the scorching sun.

  "I'll send you..." He didn't say another word, walked around to the other side of the car and opened the door.

  Xue Luo Yuan thought of saying no more, but seeing him open the door, he felt embarrassed to refuse. So, patting the snow-white beside him who had grown very big: "Snow White, stay home, I'll be back in a while..."

  The white puppy made a sound and rubbed against her feet, refusing to leave.

  "Suit yourself..." Snow ignored him and rushed to the car, got in and drove away.

  She wore a light yellow short-sleeved T-shirt, with faded jeans below, her slender figure, suddenly appeared in his mind that night's scene, he grasped her slim waist, not letting her escape...

  He swallowed hard, hastily closed the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

  It was the first time he had been to a supermarket, and it was so noisy inside that he furrowed his brow. He saw her rush to one side to push a cart, while he just stood there with narrowed eyes.

  "Uh... if you have something to do, you can leave first..." Xue Luo pushed the cart, she thought he would leave after sending her here, but unexpectedly, he followed her in together. However, what she wanted to buy was... feminine products...

  He didn't say a word, just looked at her eyes, stretched out his hand to push the cart in her hands, and followed the crowd into the mall. Xue Liang gazed at his tall and straight back, what else could she say?

  After circling around for a long time, the shopping cart was still empty. She didn't know what to buy, but he seemed very patient and quietly stayed by her side.

  Finally, the third time she walked around to the women's products area, she stopped, looked at him with some embarrassment and said: "You wait a minute, stand here and wait for me, I'll be right back..." She hastily spoke, not looking at his shocked expression, and simply pushed the cart from his hand and rushed towards the women's products area.

  Grabbed a few packs and pushed them to the paper towel section, bought several large boxes and pressed them on top. Then, as if letting out a sigh, he pushed the cart around.

  Actually watching her rush to that place, he already thought of what she wanted to buy. Now seeing the paper towels arranged in the car when she came out, he couldn't help but curl up his lips and smile.

  The phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He reached into his pocket, saw the number on the screen and furrowed his brow slightly, but still had to answer: "What's up?"

  "Boss, Inspector Charlie wants to see you!"

  He rubbed his brow: "Let him tomorrow or the day after..." He hadn't finished speaking when the green crane on the other end spoke up again: "He said he must see you, it's about Fred..."

  "I understand... Let him wait in the conference room..." He hesitated for a long time before answering, and when he turned around, he saw Xue Lai standing beside him.

  "If you have something to attend to, go ahead and leave first, I can head back by myself..." She said hastily, a faint smile spreading across her small face.

  This was the first time he saw her smile at him, with a hint of shyness and embarrassment, for just a few seconds, but he couldn't bear to look away.

  She felt his straight gaze, and she lowered her head with a smile. He then reacted: "You're done calling me..." he said to her.

  "I can go back by myself..." She insisted again and again.

  He looked at her again, nodded slightly and walked towards the exit.
