Chapter 1252 - Why Did You Abandon Him and the Child? (32)

“Beep!”

The driver in the sports car immediately honked and stopped his car after seeing a man staggering in the middle of the road.

Su Qianxun was so frightened that her face turned as white as a sheet of paper. “A-Zhi!” she screamed.

The scream that left her mouth was deafening in the cold night. Su Qianxun did not think twice and her body instinctively rushed and pushed Lu Yanzhi.

When the car horn rang, Lu Yanzhi came back to his senses and saw Su Qianxun rushing towards him, her face in shock and her eyes darting around nervously.

He got a hold of Su Qianxun’s hand and pulled her in an embrace. In a split second, he hugged her and they rolled to the road beside them.

The driver was able to stop in time and did not hit either of them. However, he was so frightened as though his soul left his body as he stared blankly at Lu Yanzhi and Su Qianxun, who both were hugging and lying on the ground.

Lu Yanzhi immediately woke up from his drunken stupor. He held Su Qianxun and slowly sat on the ground. He checked on Su Qianxun. “Are you hurt anywhere?” he asked with concern.

Su Qianxun’s eyes widened in shock before she shook her head and said with a shivering voice, “No. I’m fine...”

“Really?” Lu Yanzhi helped her up and held her shoulder as he turned her around.

“Really.” She was fine, but the rate of her heartbeat gave away how frightened she was.

After he made sure that she was fine, a faint smile appeared on Lu Yanzhi’s pale and handsome lips. He hugged her tightly as though he wanted to absorb her as part of him.

The terrified driver, seeing that they were both fine, immediately got angry. “What were you two doing? Why were you standing in the middle of the road?”

Su Qianxun slowly regained her senses and became conscious that she was hugging Lu Yanzhi, which made her feel uneasy.

She pushed Lu Yanzhi away and changed her target. She scolded the driver, “Shouldn’t I ask you what you were doing? This is a residential area yet you were driving recklessly! We may have gotten away now, but what if we didn’t? What if it were a child instead? And you even dare scold us! I’m telling you that I’ve memorized your plate number and that there is a surveillance camera outside my house door. If you dare drive your car like that in this area again, I will take this recording and sue you!”

That driver froze in shock from Su Qianxun’s words before he scolded her as a madwoman and drove off.

Meanwhile, Lu Yanzhi ignored that driver and was only worried about Su Qianxun. He worriedly said, “I think it would still be better to bring you to the hospital to get you checked.”

“No need, I’m fine.” Su Qianxun was embarrassed and pulled back her hand without leaving any traces.

Lu Yanzhi glanced around and looked at her before warning in a cold tone. “Next time, don’t do such a dangerous thing again!” he said as he pulled Su Qianxun into another embrace.

Su Qianxun bit down on her lips and before he could hug her, she had already pushed him away.

She gripped her fists until her nails were digging into her palms. With a calm smile, she then said, “Don’t think too highly of yourself.”

Lu Yanzhi’s gaze narrowed before he uttered, “If that’s the case, why did you save me just now?”

Su Qianxun’s body stiffened and she took a deep breath to calm her raging emotions. With a calm tone, she spoke, “Save you? It was just my instinctive reaction earlier. If it was someone else, I would have saved that person too. But after realizing it was you that I saved, I regretted it straight away!”

The side of her mouth curled into a mocking disdain. “Your keys. Take it and leave...”

With that, she returned to her house and closed the door.

Lu Yanzhi stared at her, his gaze as sharp as a knife. “...”

She was lying. She clearly cared so much about him and was not unmoving towards him. Maybe she even liked him just like how he liked her.

And she liked Xiao Bai so much, too.

Then why was her treatment between his son and him so different?
