Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering

Chapter 1263: Heart Skipped a Beat

Although the man was wearing sunglasses and Cen Xi could not see his eyes, she could feel that he was looking at her.

His gaze was sharp, cold and oppressive.

Cen Xi pretended that his gaze was not on her. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her arm. Linda, who was beside Cen Xi, had grabbed her arm, an uncontrollable excitement in her voice. “Cen Xi, look, that person is so handsome. He seems to be looking at me.”

Cen Xi’s mouth twitched.

Linda was so excited that Cen Xi’s arm was starting to hurt from Linda’s firm hold. “Sister Linda, he’s handsome but it looks like he’s the kind that is difficult to approach. We’d better wait for Mr Qiao to come!”

As Linda released her grip on Cen Xi’s arm, she looked at the man in sunglasses with a blush on her face. Seeing that he was still looking over at them, she brushed back her hair and gave a charming and flirtatious smile.

“Cen Xi, do you think he’s interested in me?”

Linda was a recognized beauty in the translation department and that was before Cen Xi came to the department. After Cen Xi came, although she attracted the attention of many male colleagues, she kept a low profile and was modest and somewhat reserved. She did not compete with Linda in beauty or strive for favor, or dress up to attract people’s attention. So Linda was quite satisfied.

Cen Xi looked over at the man again and found that his gaze was still on them. She thought of how he had pushed her against the wall during the competition the other day and her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, her eyes darting around.

Just then, the man’s indifferent and slightly irritated voice sounded. “How long are you going to stand there? Get in the car!”

Cen Xi and Linda looked at each other.

W-Was he the Mr Qiao the director was talking about?

Qiao Yanze looked at Cen Xi, who was standing outside the office building. It was his first time seeing her in a professional attire.

The tailored cloth almost perfectly outlined the shape of her body, moulding to her every curve. She was wearing a pair of high heels and her legs that were under her short skirt was long and straight.

Qiao Yanze narrowed his eyes. Why was the skirt length of the translation department attire so short?

After hearing Qiao Yanze asking them to get into the car, Cen Xi and Linda walked towards the car with weird expressions.

Linda walked in front of Cen Xi, greeting Qiao Yanze with a bright smile. “Are you Mr Qiao?”

Qiao Yanze nodded with no expression on his face.

“You’re so young. I’m Linda, nice to meet you,” Linda said as she opened the front passenger seat’s door.

She pulled at it but it did not open.

Qiao Yanze said, “Sit at the back.”

There was an awkward atmosphere in the air suddenly. Cen Xi looked at Linda’s whose expression was changing and she felt awkward for her.

Don’t be infatuated with Young Master Qiao’s glorious beauty. She was the perfect example of a painful lesson learned. That man could not be controlled by any woman.

Feeling humiliated, Linda felt indignant. This Mr Qiao was not giving her any respect. Hmph! She was beautiful, which man was not nice to her when they saw her?

But Linda restrained her anger and went into the back of the car. She gave a warning look to Cen Xi, signalling to her not to say anything about her embarrassing moment.

Cen Xi got into the car after Linda.

Qiao Yanze was going to Wen City for an exchange meeting and Mr Smith would be there so he needed to take interpreters with him.

After twenty minutes, the car drove up the highway.

The three of them were silent. Qiao Yanze smoked a cigarette before they went up the highway and the car was filled with the faint smell of tobacco. It was clean and fresh and Cen Xi could not help thinking that she had once tasted such a taste on the tip of his tongue.

She was fidgety and turned her head towards the car window, her ears turning hot.

Wanting to feel some wind to cool down, she lowered the car window a crack, when it was raised up again. When she pressed it again, nothing happened.

Eh? She looked up and saw that the man who was driving was using one hand to control the window lifting and lowering function.

Cen Xi looked at the man through the rearview mirror. She did not know if he had eyes behind his head, but the moment she looked at him, he looked at her as well.

He had taken off his sunglasses and when she met with his deep and dark eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

“Mr Qiao, can you lower the window?”

The man said nothing and pointed his chin at the speedometer on the dashboard.

Cen Xi then understood. The car was going at a high speed on the highway and it was not safe to lower the car window. So she lowered her eyes and said nothing more.

Linda looked at Cen Xi secretly. Seeing that her expression was looking a little unnatural after speaking with Qiao Yanze, Linda frowned unhappily.

Little elf! She thought she was so well-behaved!

After several hours of going at a high speed, the car finally arrived in Wen City.

Qiao Yanze had a call coming in and he connected to the bluetooth system. After connecting, Cen Xi and Linda could hear his conversation.

A soft female voice sounded from the other end of the line. “I finally have time for a holiday to have a good rest. I went to find you, but they said that you were on a business trip. I’m so disappointed. Even though I have time, you’re not here.”

“I’ll be back the day after tomorrow.”

The woman laughed. “Then we’ll go to the theatre the day after tomorrow. I haven’t seen a show with you for a long time.:

“Okay.”

Cen Xi looked up and through the rearview mirror, she saw that there was a hint of smile in the man’s dark eyes.

Cen Xi suddenly remembered that the voice of the woman belonged to the one who came secretly to visit him at the hospital that night he was injured. No wonder it sounded so familiar.

At that time, she felt that the woman had a special place in his heart. When she heard their conversation, it was really different!

Cen Xi lowered her thick and curled eyelashes.

What did it have to do with her if he was good to other women?

Linda looked at Qiao Yanze’s handsome side profile and finally mustered up her courage to speak to him again, “Mr Qiao, do you have a girlfriend?”

Qiao Yanze glanced at the two women sitting at the back. One was staring at him, the other looking outside the window, her expression calm. Qiao Yanze pursed his lips slightly and said coldly, “Put your mind to work. There are not to be any mistakes in interpreting when I meet with Mr Smith!”
