Chapter 2 Hate Me So Much
Ziyan was about to ask the driver to drive away, but suddenly heard Ethan’s words-
"Drive over."
Ziyan couldn't help but feel angry. Sure enough, he still had that woman in his heart, but she immediately smiled sweetly. As soon as the car stopped beside her, she immediately shouted to the girl outside the window: "Lilly! Is it you? I thought I was seeing things just now."
Lilly stopped in her tracks, and then she realized that there was more than one person in the back seat. The little girl who looked like a doll poked her head out from beside Ethan and waved to her enthusiastically...
It turned out that the little girl was still with him. That's right, after all, he is her nominal guardian, and they had already... Lilly forced herself to squeeze out a smile, pretending to be relaxed, and replied, "Hi, Ethan, long time no see."
She paused, looked at the man beside her, swallowed with some difficulty, and then said in a light tone, "Ethan, too, long time no see. Have you missed me after not seeing each other for so long?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she met Ethan's eyes, and the coldness of his eyes made her tremble. Did she say something wrong? Should he torture her with his eyes like this...
Ethan just glanced at her and turned his eyes away. He did not respond to her greeting, but silently looked at the traffic light at the intersection ahead.
Some voices kept echoing in his mind, as soft and sweet as the girl's voice speaking close to the car window just now. He began to fall into the memories that entangle him every night uncontrollably... At that time, the flowers in Provence were beautiful, and the wind was warm.
The girl in front of him once hurriedly crossed a sea ofpurple flowers and grabbed his sleeves, just for a name.
"Ethan, can I call you Ethan? You see, calling you professor makes you look old..."
At that time, he thought this was stupid and ignored it, but he didn't expect the girl to have her tricks. She grabbed him and said, "Huh? Don't talk anymore? Well, all male gods are like this. If you don't talk, just take it as your consent!"
He was too lazy to care, so he let the girl continue to call him like this, and she called him more and more frequently...
"Ethan, Ethan, can you give me a ride?"
He still replied coldly, "Different roads." He thought that this attitude could scare her away, but he didn't expect the girl to swing her slender arm and point out every road in front of her.
"This way, that way, this way, that way... all of them are the roads I want to take. Wherever you go, I will go. Isn't that the same?"
He didn't know whether he was defeated by her rogue behavior again or for some other reason, but he acquiesced again. Thinking back, perhaps it was these repeated indulgences that made the girl more and more presumptuous.
Only then did he scold a male student in the office until his eyes turned red and he ran out of the door. The girl who had been eavesdropping outside for a long time came in and shook her head, pointing at him and sighing: "As the saying goes, a word can make things happen or ruin things. If your mouth wasn't so poisonous, Ethan..."
He immediately turned his face unhappily and threw her out of the door. Just as he was about to close the door, the girl started to yell "Ahhh", grabbed the door frame, and howled, "I don't want to leave if you don't leave. Okay, I was wrong. Ethan's mouth is the most beautiful in the world... Hey! I'm praising you, why are you still so fierce..."
Perhaps he was staring at the girl's sweet mouth fiercely, but his heart couldn't help but feel as if her little mouth was smeared with honey, crisp and sweet. Later, his mouth became even pickier because of her hands...
"Sorry, sorry, I made you guys eat pizza last week. I apologize. What do you want to eat, Ethan? Braised pork slices? Spicy chicken? Or something simple? I haven't done complicated things for a while. I'm afraid my hands are not used to it. Charlie is so mean. The homework for the music theory class is super difficult. I've been working all night. It's unfair that he hit me on the head for protesting. Hey, Ethan! Why are you suddenly angry? Hey, Ethan Ethan..."
Originally, her pitiful appearance had made his accumulated anger last week, gradually disappear, but the following words ignited his anger again for no reason. He still remembers the girl chasing after him and asking him to explain why he was angry. She felt a little aggrieved, a little angry, but more of it was... full of loving tolerance.
In the past, no matter how impatient he was, the girl always smiled brightly and shamelessly rubbed against him and refused to leave.
Instead of now——
Ethan glanced at the forced smile on Lilly's face, and an inexplicable anger rose in his heart.
How could he forget that she had left?
"Ethan..." Lilly tried to organize her words, ready to ask him to help persuade the boss of Liney’s, "Do you admit it..."
However, before she finished her words, Ethan suddenly threw a cold sentence to the driver, "Drive."
He stepped on the accelerator and drove away at the green light.
Lilly was stunned, biting her lips and staring in the direction where the Panara had left, feeling a sharp pain in her chest.
‘Do you hate me so much?’
Lilly stood outside the glass door, looked up at the sign on the top of Wanying Building, and looked at the address sent by her aunt on her phone. After confirming that the imposing building in front of her was the Wanying Group, a large financial conglomerate that has rapidly risen in the City this year.
She took a deep breath, silently said, "If you don't go to the Tiger Mountain, how can you get ahead?", and then pushed the door open and walked in.
