Ms.CEO Falls in Love with Aloof Professor
Chapter 85 - 85 83 Dont Hide from Me

Chapter 85: Chapter 83: Don’t Hide from Me Chapter 85: Chapter 83: Don’t Hide from Me “Huh?”

Lu Jingyan hadn’t expected Sheng Xian to call her in the middle of the night, and even more unexpectedly, he asked her where she was right off the bat.

She blinked, making sure she hadn’t heard wrong, then responded, “Why are you asking where I am? Want to come see me?”

Sheng Xian made a noise of affirmation.

Lu Jingyan was stunned.

Sheng Xian: “I want to come see you.”

Lu Jingyan: “…”

She had said it casually, without expecting him to actually admit it.

Lu Jingyan, through the lowered car mirror, looked at her swollen half face and pinched her phone hard, “Brother, my period hasn’t ended yet.”

“…”

Normally, Sheng Xian would find this remark headache-inducing and troubling, but at that moment, he felt oddly oppressed.

“Besides, brother, I’m already in bed ready to sleep. Don’t you know it’s very unethical to drag someone out of their warm bed during winter…”

As Lu Jingyan spoke, a car passing by honked its horn.

The sharp, piercing honk followed her voice, carrying completely over to where Sheng Xian was.

Lu Jingyan stopped the nonsense she was spouting.

In her slight embarrassment, Sheng Xian clicked his tongue very slowly at the other end of the call.

Lu Jingyan: “…”

Since the lie was exposed on the spot, there was no way she’d let Sheng Xian see her like this.

Lu Jingyan cleared her throat, “Okay, I admit I was lying to you, I’m not at home.”

“I lied because I don’t want to see you.”

“The reason is simple. It’s late at night, just you and me, I’m afraid I can’t control myself.”

Sheng Xian: “Ayan.”

Lu Jingyan moved her lips, stopping the nonsense.

Sheng Xian: “Don’t avoid me.”

“…”

“At least, don’t avoid me tonight.”

“…”

When Lu Hongcheng slapped her, she didn’t think to cry.

And when she drove aimlessly on the main roads alone, leaving from Lu Zhou and their real home, she didn’t think to cry either.

But now, for some reason, upon hearing these two sentences from Sheng Xian, her eyes felt a bit acidic.

Sheng Xian waited a while, and seeing no response from her end, he spoke again, “Ayan?”

Lu Jingyan bit her lip and made a sound.

Sheng Xian didn’t speak further.

He patiently waited.

Lu Jingyan didn’t know if she was moved by him or if she had been carrying the burden alone for too long and really wanted someone’s company, she hesitated for a while and said, “Just a heads up, don’t be scared when you see me.”

“Mm.”

“And don’t ask me what happened.”

“Mm.”

Lu Jingyan pursed her lips and said, “I’m at the entrance to your apartment complex.”

Sheng Xian was startled.

His heart felt like it was struck by something, shaking uncontrollably.

Lu Jingyan seeing no response: “Sheng Xian?”

Without a word, Sheng Xian hung up the phone.

Lu Jingyan stared at her phone, furrowing her brow, wondering what Professor Sheng was up to, when suddenly her phone vibrated again.

In WeChat, Sheng Xian sent her a message: “Wait for me.”

Lu Jingyan didn’t know where Sheng Xian was, but she had waited for less than ten minutes when a taxi parked next to her car.

As the taxi door swung open, she saw Sheng Xian climb out.

After the taxi drove off, Sheng Xian turned around, walked to her car, and knocked on the window.

Lu Jingyan unlocked the car directly.

Sheng Xian pulled open the car door and sat inside.

Lu Jingyan fiddled with the air conditioner’s fan intermittently: “You weren’t at home just now?”

“Yeah.” The heat in the car was cranked up high, so Sheng Xian took off his coat and turned to look at Lu Jingyan.

Lu Jingyan asked casually, “Where did you go?”

Sheng Xian didn’t speak.

She turned her head to look at him and noticed something odd in his eyes.

Just as she was about to ask what was wrong, he suddenly raised his hand, pushed aside the hair she had intentionally let fall over her face, and asked, “What happened?”

Lu Jingyan opened her mouth but didn’t know how to respond.

Sheng Xian’s expression was as cold as ice: “Who did this?”

Lu Jingyan raised her hand, pulled her hair down, and covered her face again: “Brother, you promised you wouldn’t ask.”

Sheng Xian stared at Lu Jingyan expressionlessly for a while: “Fine, I won’t ask.”

Although he said that, Lu Jingyan clearly felt a colder aura emanating from him, as if he were forcefully suppressing some anger.

Lu Jingyan licked her lips: “Brother, are you upset?”

“No.” Sheng Xian replied gruffly, then raised his hand, pushed open the car door, and got out with his coat in hand.

Suddenly, the car door slammed shut in front of her.

Lu Jingyan pursed her lips.

Lying.

This isn’t being upset?

It was just short of smashing her car.

Lu Jingyan was about to get out of the car when Sheng Xian suddenly started walking away.

She blinked, and just as she was about to grab her phone to call him, she saw him enter a pharmacy not far away.

It was as if she understood something, and she stopped what she was doing.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Sheng Xian came out of the pharmacy with a small paper bag and walked towards her car.

He still looked very annoyed, his face colder than the minus twenty degrees Celsius temperature outside the window.

Lu Jingyan really didn’t know how to explain to Sheng Xian the mess at her home.

She was already quite uneasy in front of him because of her crowd of ex-boyfriends.

Now, to bring up how Lu Hongcheng and Lu Zhou were always making her meet different men for business reasons.

Even thinking about it made her feel unable to lift her head.

But she didn’t want to see him looking so icy; she was already having a bad night…

Watching Sheng Xian approach her car, Lu Jingyan hurriedly rolled down the window: “Brother, you should go home.”

Before Sheng Xian could speak, she continued: “You have to work tomorrow; go back early and rest, I’m going home too.”

The more Lu Jingyan spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, although she didn’t know why she felt so.

She pursed her lips and quickened her pace: “Brother, have good dreams tonight, goodbye…”

She couldn’t finish her last word as Lu Jingyan’s eyes uncontrollably reddened.

She lowered her head, forcefully tugging at the corners of her mouth, trying to say “I’m going” nonchalantly, but the words stuck in her somewhat choking throat and couldn’t come out.

Sheng Xian watched her throat bob, reached his hand through the car window, landed it gently a couple of times on her head: “Go where?”

“…”

“I haven’t cheered you up yet, where do you think you’re going?”
