Ye Shaotang was an excellent driver, even though it was rush hour and the traffic on the road was congested at times, Xia Lu got home just after seven o'clock. If she had taken the bus, who knows where she would still be stuck right now.
"Why don't you come up and sit for a while?" Xia Lu said politely, she still had that much courtesy.
"Sure."
Ye Shaotang agreed readily, which surprised her. Although it was she who had issued the invitation, it was really just out of politeness, and she had thought for sure that he would decline, but he accepted unexpectedly.
"What, second thoughts?" Seeing Xia Lu's expression stiffen, Ye Shaotang said with a smile.
"Ah, no no," Xia Lu quickly explained, "Come up and rest for a while..."
While Ye Shaotang was looking for a parking spot, Xia Lu hurriedly sent a message to Xia Zhiqiu. Bringing a man home out of the blue required some heads-up.
Once in the elevator, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
