Chapter 841 - Why Don't We Just Get a Room Instead?

Panda Novel

“Yes, yes, stay out tonight, you don’t have to come home,” Mrs. Xiao said with a big smile on her face. She didn’t seem to mind at all about her daughter’s premarital something-something.

By the time Xiao Yaojing reached the lobby, PA Wen had stopped his car right in front of her.

PA Wen stuck his head out of the window and squinted at Xiao Yaojing who was coming out from the apartment lobby. “Are you going out?”

Xiao Yaojing pressed one hand on the car door, gazing at PA Wen who was about to unbuckle his seatbelt.

PA Wen adjusted his gold-framed glasses. Xiao Yaojing’s gaze was rather intimidating.

Xiao Yaojing bent over to look at PA Wen in the car. “Did you come to see me?”

PA Wen was stunned. He couldn’t think when she asked him so directly. “I… I’m here to take Uncle and Auntie for a meal, the meal that I promised them.”

Xiao Yaojing snickered. She strolled to the other side of the car, opened the door and stepped in.

“Thanks to you, my mother kicked me out of my house. So, on my birthday this year, you have to be my date,” Xiao Yaojing announced stoically and put on her seatbelt.

PA Wen’s hands gripped the steering wheel even tighter. The corner of his lips curled upward impulsively. PA Wen started the engine and drove off without asking Xiao Yaojing about her desired destination.

“I don’t recall ever seeing you celebrate your birthday before,” PA Wen said casually. He had known Xiao Yaojing for about six to seven years now, but he had never seen any celebration on her birthday. That was why he only just learned about her actual birth date.

“Yezi is not here so it’s rather meaningless for a birthday celebration,” Xiao Yaojing grumbled.

PA Wen opened his mouth to say ‘I’m here’, but he couldn’t get the words out.

“Where do you want to go?” PA Wen asked.

Xiao Yaojing, leaning in the front passenger seat, took a good look at PA Wen who was concentrating on the road. It was an eye opener. It was just his side profile, but it was as if today was the first day she discovered that he was quite handsome.

A gentleman with good manners. Come to think of it, there was not much difference between him and Lu Qichuan.

“Hey, I didn’t realize before but you are quite good-looking.”

The car suddenly skidded. Luckily they hadn’t driven out of the neighborhood or there might have been a bad accident.

“Careful with your words, I’m driving.” PA Wen coughed, flustered. “You scared me.”

Xiao Yaojing rolled her eyes at him. She stroked her chin with one hand and watched the man who seemed to be blushing. Well, not only he was a coward, he blushed so easily.

“So where are we going?” PA Wen asked again, “It’s your birthday, you decide the venue. My treat.”

“Oh? That’s sweet of you,” Xiao Yaojing was tapping her chin lightly. “Let’s hit the bar.”

“Who goes to a bar on their birthday? You should be going to a proper restaurant for a meal,” PA Wen frowned at her. Their car finally exited the neighborhood.

“You are such an old-timer,” Xiao Yaojing sighed, “You said to let me decide and I did but you reject my idea. Why don’t we just get a room instead?”

Screech—

The car came to an abrupt halt.

Xiao Yaojing’s body flew forward and she was fortunate to have avoided knocking into anything.

“Wen Tao! What is wrong with you? Do you want to make my birthday into my deathday?” Xiao Yaojing shrieked furiously.

PA Wen’s hands gripped the steering wheel tightly. Their car had stopped by the roadside. If you looked closely, you’d see PA Wen’s reddening ears.

“Let me decide on the venue, you stop talking today, please,” PA Wen said seriously. He took a deep breath and started the car again.
