Chapter 85: Chapters 86-87 Fragrance

After leaving the bar, Chen Xue forcefully wrested her hand free from Xiao Yi’s grasp, casting a wary glance at him.

Although Xiao Yi had mentioned her father’s name, Chen Xue had seen those men seeming extremely fearful of him. His rescue did not involve any fight; instead, it looked as if the bad guys were terrified of him, as if they were his subordinates.

"Get in the car."

Xiao Yi paused briefly, said nothing, and just offered a faint smile. He walked over to his Maserati, opened the car door for her.

"What, you still don’t trust me? If you don’t, you might as well call your father."

Seeing that Chen Xue still hadn’t gotten into the car, Xiao Yi didn’t get angry, just smiled.

Chen Xue looked at Xiao Yi and then glanced at the Maserati with a hint of surprise. She hesitated, but eventually got into the car without responding to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi smiled slightly, said nothing, and took the driver’s seat. He then drove off toward the Azure Waterfront at the fastest speed he could manage.

Feeling Xiao Yi’s nearly flying driving speed, Chen Xue, sitting in the passenger seat, quickly revealed a look of panic and fear, her face turning pale momentarily, but whenever she looked at Xiao Yi, who was focused on driving, her expression immediately returned to that stubborn one with her lips pursed, saying nothing.

The distance from Fenghua Bar to Azure Waterfront wasn’t very far. After more than forty minutes, the Maserati stopped in front of a villa at Azure Waterfront. This was mainly because Xiao Yi felt Chen Xue couldn’t adapt to his high speed, so he had intentionally slowed down. Otherwise, it would have taken at most thirty minutes for Xiao Yi to get back.

"Get out."

Xiao Yi parked the car and turned to look at Chen Xue, who was still stubbornly pursing her lips.

"Ah, oh."

Chen Xue saw the smile on Xiao Yi’s face, a flicker of panic passed over her face, then she quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.

"Xue!"

Chen Jianguo and Liu Yuan had been anxiously waiting for news from Xiao Yi. Although Chen Jianguo trusted Xiao Yi’s capabilities very much, the person involved was his daughter and he had never personally witnessed Xiao Yi’s abilities. His trust in Xiao Yi was entirely from another person, so he couldn’t help feeling uneasy.

Both of them were periodically staring at the villa’s entrance. As soon as they saw the Maserati’s shadow approaching, they rushed over eagerly. Upon seeing their daughter’s familiar figure stepping out of the car, Chen Jianguo couldn’t hold back any longer. Tears filled his eyes as he rushed forward and hugged his daughter tightly.

"Dad!"

Feeling the firm embrace of her father, Chen Xue, who had been restraining her stubbornness, couldn’t keep it in any longer. She threw her arms around her father’s waist, called out "Dad!" and immediately burst into tears.

Although she had been motherless since birth, she had grown up under her father’s protective care and had never suffered any hardship or setbacks. This ordeal was the first adventure of her life. When she found herself bound and in an unfamiliar environment, her mind went blank almost instantaneously, filled only with fear and despair... Facing the menacing faces of the strange men, hearing them speak foul language she had never heard before had a profound impact on her spirit...

But when she heard them calling her father, threatening him, and learned of their motives, she endured everything. She did not show even a hint of fear in front of them. To mask her genuine feelings of timidity, fear, and despair, she kept a tough facade, staring at them silently, no matter what they said.

It wasn’t until Xiao Yi appeared that she spoke for the first time. Although Xiao Yi claimed to be a friend of her father, she had never seen his face before. Doubtful after the kidnapping experience, deeply suspicious of everything, she was somewhat convinced Xiao Yi was her father’s friend when she saw the Maserati, but she still held back, not fully revealing her inner emotions.

It was only when she truly saw her father, felt his robust chest, and his familiar scent, that the defenses she had built around her heart fully and completely collapsed.

Xiao Yi watched Chen Xue’s crying, which was like a dam breaking, with slight surprise. He had been inwardly admiring how strong Chen Jianguo’s daughter was; she had remained silent in front of the kidnappers, and even in the car, despite being terrified to the point of paleness, she kept her teeth clenched and did not cry out for him to slow down, unless he noticed and slowed down himself.

But soon, he understood; after all, she was just a child, a little girl who had experienced a dangerous kidnapping. It was quite normal for her to cry her heart out when back with her family, releasing all pent-up emotions.
