“Mr. Han, do you want to take my car instead?” Zheng Tianming asked.

Han Zhuoli’s car had been driven away by Xiao Chen. Thankfully, Zheng Tianming had also driven his own car over too.

Han Zhuoli nodded and stepped across Bai Shuangshuang. Without even sparing her a glance, he got into Zheng Tianming’s car.

After boarding the car, Han Zhuoli pinched the bridge of the nose. He finally felt a little tipsy and rested his head on the headrest of the seat, closing his eyes to take a rest.

Zheng Tianming dropped Han Zhuoli at Lu Man’s building. Han Zhuoli alighted from the car and let Zheng Tianming head back first before climbing the stairs engulfed in darkness to Lu Man’s apartment.

He then took out his phone and gave Lu Man a phone call. Xia Qingwei was already asleep, while Lu Man was in her own bedroom, and was just about to call and ask Han Zhuoli whether he was done with his work when she happened to receive a call from Han Zhuoli.

She quickly picked up the phone and asked softly, “You’re done with work?”

Hearing Lu Man’s soft voice, he instantly felt happy. All his disgust and frustration due to Bai Shuangshuang dissipated with her voice.

Right now, he was standing right outside the door of Lu Man’s apartment. His voice slightly husky and rough as he said, “I’m at the doorstep of your apartment.”

Lu Man was dumbfounded. “What did you say?”

Just as she spoke, she had already started walking towards the door.

Even if she might have heard wrongly, she still couldn’t resist walking towards the door.

Han Zhuoli’s husky and light laughter came through the phone. He repeated softly and lowly once more, “I’m at the doorstep of your apartment. Open the door, you silly girl.”

Although Lu Man had already reached the door, she was still staggered.

After quite a while, she finally remembered to open the door.

Immediately, she saw Han Zhuoli holding onto his phone standing right before her. “Why are you here?”

Surprised, Lu Man asked, “You’re done with your business gathering, right? Why didn’t you hurry back home to rest first and come here instead? It’s already so late.”

Lu Man always felt heartache watching him rushing about from place to place.

“I didn’t drive here, Zheng Tianming who drove me here. Take me in for tonight,” Han Zhuoli’s voice was low and husky as he quietly pulled Lu Man’s hand.

In this dark night, his voice was a little lower and softer, as if he was trying to act cute in front of her.

Usually, this guy wasn’t so coy, always acting arrogant and cold, sometimes even shameless before, but she had never seen him act cute before.

However, hearing his cute and playful tone, Lu Man even heard a tinge of sadness accompanying it, as if he had suffered.

“Come in quickly.” It was too cold outside, so without any hesitation, Lu Man instantly pulled him in.

“What exactly happened?” She still felt that Han Zhuoli’s reaction was rather out of the ordinary.

Han Zhuoli’s heart clenched slightly. He had already tried his very best to hide it, yet who knew that Lu Man could still tell.

Unknowingly, this little girl had already understood him so well.

She could even directly see whatever he was thinking and feeling.

Han Zhuoli always had confidence in himself, as long as he wanted to hide, others would never be able to tell anything from the look on his face.

Otherwise, if he were to be understood so easily by others, he couldn’t even stay as the CEO anymore. He would have long since been played a fool by those sly old foxes in the business field.

Yet, no matter how he tried to hide all his expressions and not show anything, Lu Man still could understand.

Han Zhuoli’s heart oozed with warmth, spreading across his cold body.

His gaze focused on Lu Man and he tightly held onto her hand, desperately wishing he could squeeze her right into his own flesh and bones.

How could this little girl be so amazing!

He definitely would not let her go away from him ever!

Han Zhuoli suddenly strode forward and pulled Lu Man into her bedroom. His strong and dominating nature could barely wait and wanted to tear her apart and devour her immediately.

Lu Man hurriedly pulled onto Han Zhuoli’s elbow. “What exactly happened?”

Closing the door, Han Zhuoli’s plan was spoiled by Lu Man’s words. He sighed, feeling resigned.

Should he say that this little girl was oblivious to what was happening, or that she was too smart?
