Chapter 550: 487 No matter how late, I will take you back home
The traffic cop narrowed his eyes and began to write out a ticket with Zhongli Wuzhi’s license plate, then asked him to produce his driver’s license and vehicle registration...
Zhongli Wuzhi took a deep breath and handed over both documents to the officer.
After the traffic cop had copied down the information onto the ticket, he handed it to Zhongli Wuzhi.
Zhongli Wuzhi took the ticket and tossed it into the car without even glancing at the cop.
The traffic cop furrowed his brows, "Sir, what kind of attitude is that?"
"I’d advise you not to mess with me right now."
Zhongli Wuzhi slightly lifted his head, looking at the traffic cop as he spoke coldly.
Hearing this, the traffic cop also stiffened. What was this person’s deal?
"You’ve already written the ticket, can you move aside now?"
"Sir, you can’t park here, please drive off immediately."
"My car has broken down and I stopped for a moment, what’s wrong with that!"
Zhongli Wuzhi immediately yelled at the traffic cop!
The cop’s brows knitted tighter, "What are you yelling for! If the car broke down, then get out, take a sign, and place it behind the vehicle to warn the traffic behind!"
Once again, Zhongli Wuzhi took a deep breath, his eyes behind the sunglasses staring straight at the parking lot across from him... Those two people were far from him, but he could clearly make them out.
The man was Song Jing! That ignorant, never-learning chief of surgery!
And the woman... was Lu Xiaoer!
Having seen her at the hospital entrance just now, hah, as expected...
Zhongli Wuzhi then knew she had taken a liking to Dr. Song Jing.
His hand gripped the steering wheel tight, the knuckles turning blue.
Princess Chinian, sitting beside him, was dumbfounded, clueless to what was wrong with Zhongli Wuzhi.
They had been driving along fine, waiting at a red light; however, the traffic light had already cycled through several times and he showed no sign of moving the car.
He was looking towards the front right, but she couldn’t tell what he was staring at.
Princess Chinian couldn’t possibly guess that Zhongli Wuzhi was watching the two people standing in a parking lot, across a whole garden.
Zhongli Wuzhi’s expression was terrifying, truly terrifying.
Princess Chinian wanted to remind him but didn’t dare to speak; she could only sit silently in the passenger seat, waiting quietly.
The way he talked to the traffic cop...
It was as if he were a completely different person than before.
Princess Chinian pursed her lips, gripping the seat belt with both hands, unconsciously swallowing.
Had the car... broken down?
No, it hadn’t.
So what exactly was the problem...
Princess Chinian bit her lip hard, suddenly feeling panicked.
After the traffic cop finished talking with Zhongli Wuzhi, awaiting for him to get out of the car, he suddenly saw Zhongli Wuzhi slam his hand on the steering wheel just as the traffic light switched green again.
He drove off swiftly.
"You! Speeding!"
The traffic cop yelled, but the car was already far away.
————
The car entered President Mansion. Surprisingly, two police cars followed, but were stopped at the outermost gate.
Both traffic cops were stunned, having followed closely all the way, they only realized when they stopped that they had entered President Mansion’s restricted area.
"Is there a problem?"
The traffic cops got out of their car and looked at each other, without consultation, but both shook their heads in the same flustered manner.
Forget it, speeding or whatever... The electronic police were monitoring everything, and all their information had been recorded, swooping into President Mansion to make an arrest, these cops really didn’t have the nerve for that.
The car stopped outside the residential building.
By this time, it had already gotten dark.
Wei Yuandong stood at the door, fraught with worry,
"Young Master Zhongli, Seventh Princess, you’ve finally come back!"
"..."
After getting out of the car, Princess Chinian cautiously made her way inside, greeting Wei Yuandong with a simple nod.
"Seventh Princess, what’s wrong?"
Seeing Princess Chinian pale and somewhat dazed, as if frightened, Wei Yuandong asked.
Princess Chinian shook her head and turned around, looking worriedly toward Zhongli Wuzhi.
Wei Yuandong blinked,
"Young Master Zhongli... what’s wrong?"
Zhongli Wuzhi sat in the car, apparently with no intention of getting out.
Wei Yuandong couldn’t help but walk over and asked again,
"Young Master Zhongli, dinner is ready, aren’t you planning to come in and eat?"
Zhongli Wuzhi took off his sunglasses and got out of the car.
He walked up to Princess Chinian and said to her,
"Did I scare you? Xiao Qi."
Xiao Qi?
The translator, hearing that the Seventh Princess had returned, immediately hurried to the porch, only to find the Seventh Princess seemed completely transformed... somewhat dumbfounded.
And upon hearing Zhongli Wuzhi’s address to the Seventh Princess...
The translator was even more bewildered.
Princess Chinian made a gesture, and the translator immediately helped translate,
— What’s wrong with you?
Zhongli Wuzhi sighed, "It’s just that just now, I suddenly remembered some... unpleasant things, so..."
— Can I help?
Princess Chinian asked worriedly.
Zhongli smiled a little,
"You’ve already helped me a lot."
Princess Chinian blinked, not understanding what he meant by that.
"You’re so cute and so quiet, you’ve already helped me a lot."
"..."
"Thank you for spending the day with me."
Zhongli Wuzhi thanked her?
This puzzled Princess Chinian even more as she should be the one thanking Zhongli.
Thanking him for spending the whole afternoon with her, making it a very meaningful day.
— Zhongli, aren’t you going to stay for dinner?
"No, I have some things to take care of this evening."
Zhongli Wuzhi smiled at Princess Chinian.
Wei Yuandong was taken aback,
"Young Master Zhongli, aren’t you going to stay for dinner?"
Zhongli patted Wei Yuandong on the shoulder, "Sorry, Uncle Wei, for troubling you. Another day, when Ah Nian and Lili are back, I’ll come over for a meal!"
Having said that, he waved his hand and got back into the car.
He drove away in the sports car.
Leaving several people standing at the doorway, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Unable to suppress his curiosity, the translator quickly asked Princess Chinian what had happened during the day...
Princess Chinian was dazed, then smiled, but didn’t say much.
The translator pursed her lips, sighed, and felt it was a pity.
Wei Yuandong watched Zhongli Wuzhi leave and also let out a shallow sigh, not knowing what was going on in Young Master Zhongli’s mind, coming over... to hit on Princess Chinian for some reason.
———
At night, the sky was oppressively dark, without a single star to be seen.
The chill whistled through, predicting a change of weather later in the night.
A car stopped under the apartment building.
Having the support of her family, Lu Xiaoer had rented an apartment to live in outside.
She got out of the car, turned slightly to thank Song Jing, only to see Song Jing also getting out of the car.
He handed Lu Xiaoer her cell phone,
"Even something as important as your phone can be left in the car."
Lu Xiaoer quickly slapped her own head and smiled,
"I really am out of my mind, making you laugh."
Song Jing smiled,
"It’s good it was left in my car, no matter how late, I would bring it back to you."
