He lost control after drinking and ended up marrying a powerful female CEO.

Chapter 285 Naturally Alluring and the Boy Next Door!

Three days have passed since that night when the whole city was ablaze with light.

Qin Huai still did not appear.

Lu Qingxue waited expectantly, her mind elsewhere.

Distracted, the Lu Group's work was neglected.

Fortunately, such a large group company has many helpers, and the company's operation has not been affected even without Lu Qingxue as the chairman for a short period of time.

Moreover, this 'shining incident' unexpectedly brought great benefits to the Lu Group.

It can be considered a blessing in disguise.

However, some directors still clung to their minor faults and were always trying to stir up trouble.

Lu Qingxue couldn't care less about all that.

Her mind was filled with thoughts of Qin Huai every day, and also of her missing father.

Unfortunately, her abilities were limited. So many influential people in the world couldn't find Lu Zenian's whereabouts, so where could she look for him?

This world is not changed by anyone's will.

The sun still rises and sets every day.

Night fell, and the stars disappeared.

The temperature in Chongcheng dropped to only five or six degrees Celsius, and people on the street were wearing thick cotton-padded coats.

Even the most beauty-loving woman has to cover herself up completely.

For men, it is ultimately a regret.

On an unnamed mountain near the city, a figure descended along the winding mountain road and stood by the deserted roadside.

He was carrying a patched backpack, wearing a thick military overcoat, and had a handsome and resolute face, exuding masculine charm.

Especially those deep eyes, like the deep sea or the stars, arouse curiosity and a desire to explore and understand them.

This person was none other than Qin Huai, who had fully recovered from his injuries.

boom……

A purple sports car, its headlights blaring, sped past.

Qin Huai gave a thumbs up, wanting to hitch a ride.

But the sports car didn't slow down at all, and roared past, bringing with it gusts of cold wind.

Qin Huai was not disappointed and continued to wait.

He didn't have to do this, but he chose this more difficult way.

It's all just for show.

He should at least make himself look a bit travel-worn, otherwise how could Lu Qingxue see how difficult his journey back was?

The saying goes, "If it's difficult, we should tackle it; if it's not difficult, we should create difficulties and still tackle it."

The same is true.

This is the wisdom of life; those who understand it will understand, and those who don't won't understand even if you explain it.

boom……

The blinding headlights came on again.

It was that purple sports car that had returned and parked by the roadside.

The car window rolled down, and the person in the driver's seat beckoned to Qin Huai with a finger.

Qin Huai crossed the road and came to the car. Under the lamplight, he paused slightly.

This is a beautiful woman.

Her long, brown hair was slightly wavy and very silky.

Her oval face, both charming and pretty, exudes a natural allure.

With her peach blossom eyes, cherry lips, and a slight smile at the corners of her lips, she looked like a fox spirit who had stepped out of a painting.

Qin Huai never expected to encounter a woman whose beauty rivaled that of Lu Qingxue so late at night.

The woman was also sizing up Qin Huai.

After a moment's hesitation, he chuckled and asked, "Where are you going?"

Her voice was like heavenly music, languid and captivating, making one's blood boil the moment they heard it.

How can one word, "flattery," possibly describe it?

"Uh, I need to go to the city center. If you don't mind, could you give me a ride?" Qin Huai pursed his lips slightly, speaking cautiously with a hint of shyness and embarrassment.

His expression and tone were like those of a naive, innocent boy next door.

"boarding."

The woman smiled again.

"Is it really possible?" Qin Huai asked anxiously.

"What? I'm not afraid you're a bad person, so why are you afraid I am?" the woman asked with a light laugh.

Upon seeing this, Qin Huai felt his bones go weak.

He was secretly amazed.

What a naturally alluring woman!

The sports car he drives is worth millions, clearly indicating that he comes from a wealthy and influential family.

Strangely, a woman like this shouldn't be unknown in Chongcheng.

But Qin Huai had absolutely no recollection of it.

Seeing that Qin Huai did not respond, the woman said again, "Get in the car quickly, don't waste time."

"Oh."

Qin Huai hesitated for a moment, but eventually got into the passenger seat.

Then he scratched his head and asked weakly, "How do I open the car door?"

There were no handles on the car doors.

The woman found it amusing but didn't answer; instead, she reached into the car and pressed a button.

The car door slowly lifted up, like a bird's wing.

Qin Huai was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!"

"Get in the car."

"Oh... thank you..."

After Qin Huai got into the car, the door slowly closed.

"Fasten your seatbelt."

"it is good……"

Qin Huai nodded awkwardly and fastened his seatbelt.

The woman lightly presses the accelerator and turns the steering wheel all the way to the left.

boom!

The sports car spun 180 degrees on the spot and then shot away like an arrow.

The immense centrifugal force startled Qin Huai, and the sudden surge in speed terrified him, causing him to close his eyes in fear.

After a while, Qin Huai cautiously opened his eyes and found that everything outside the car was blurry, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

The woman was a truly skilled driver; she drove at breakneck speed with an exceptionally calm expression, and proactively asked, "What's your name?"

“Chu…Chu River,” Qin Huai replied.

"What a coincidence, my name is Chu Ke, which is three strokes less than yours," the woman said with a smile.

"Yes...it is quite a coincidence..."

Qin Huai glanced at the woman, and seeing that she was also looking at him, his face flushed red, and he immediately lowered his head.

"Ha, what's wrong with you? Are you shy?" Chu Ke's laughter carried a hint of teasing.

Qin Huai said in a muffled voice, "I...I've never seen such a beautiful girl as you."

"Oh? Am I pretty?"

"Beautiful...beautiful..."

"How beautiful?" Chu Ke's teasing tone intensified.

In this world, are there still such innocent boys? They're truly rare.

"I can't quite put my finger on it, it's just...very beautiful." Qin Huai seemed a little flustered and somewhat wooden.

"Giggle..."

Chu Ke smiled happily.

From childhood to adulthood, she has heard countless words of praise; if all of them were put together, they would be thicker than a dictionary.

But she had never been this happy before.

All those flowery praises couldn't compare to the simple beauty of this young man.

"Where are you from? What are you going to the city for?" Chu Ke asked casually.

“I live in Yuhegou, Chuzhuang Mountain, and I’m going to the city to look for a job.”

What is Yuhegou?

"On the mountain."

Why go to the city to look for a job?

"I want to earn money to pay for my grandfather's medical treatment and medicine."

"What happened to your grandfather?"

"He has spent his whole life watching over the forests, but he is getting old and his health is not very good."

Qin Huai answered, a deep worry appearing in his clear eyes.

Chu Ke said, "It's normal for an old man to have some minor ailments as he gets older, so don't worry too much... Is your grandfather feeling unwell?"

"heart."

"It could be coronary heart disease, a minor issue."

"Yes, Grandpa also said it was coronary heart disease."

Chu Ke changed the subject: "If I hadn't been passing by, how long would you have had to wait?"

"Just keep waiting... That's what I did when I went to the city last time."

"Have you been to the city a few times?"

This is the second time, including this one.

When was the last time?

"Ten years ago, I was only fifteen years old."

"Where are your parents?"

Qin Huai's eyes dimmed upon hearing this: "My mother passed away when I was very young, and my father abandoned me and ran away... I've always relied on my grandfather for support..."

"Feel sorry……"

"it does not matter……"

We chatted casually along the way and soon arrived in the city.

Chu Ke parked the car on the side of the road.

The sleek sports car attracted countless envious glances.

Qin Huai looked at the flashing neon lights everywhere, his eyes somewhat dazed.

Chu Ke frowned, but didn't say anything.

"Here's the fare..."

Qin Huai Chao Chu Ke stretched out his hand, and in his palm was a crumpled hundred-yuan bill.
