Chapter 727 Mission car ride intimacy

"Thank you, Aunt…I-I am very nervous though."

Chen Liling waved her hand. "You don\'t need to shed even a drop of sweat, my dear. Zixin and Ling are all there for you. Don\'t be afraid of messing up either. After all, we all learn and improve from our mistakes."

Chen Guiren bobbed his head at his wife\'s wisdom and slid a chocolate towards Guiying. "Start your day with something sweet. Legend has it the day ends on a sweet note too."

She blinked.

Which legend?

But the sweet gesture from him warmed her heart and took the chocolate.

"Yes, sis! All the best!" The twins grabbed her from both sides and squished her hard. "We know you will ace it today~"

"Thank you…" she breathlessly replied.

Jianyu cleared his throat and threw a glance at Zixin. "Are you done with your breakfast? Get going. Take Guiying with you too."

He nodded.

Guiying quickly said, "I am fine. I will go by myself-"

"How could we let that happen?" Serena gasped. "Zixin and you are going the same way to the same office. Of course, you should go together."

"B-But the employees might think it\'s weird se-seeing us together in the same car? I will be just working as his assistant, after all."

He will soon become your husband so what does it matter? The same fact echoed in everybody\'s minds simultaneously.

Chen Liling smiled. "Don\'t worry about the small details, dear."

Serena shot dangerous glares towards her son to signal him to get going. Zixin quickly got on his feet and smiled. "Let\'s go?"

Guiying hesitated for a few moments but eventually agreed.

—

The atmosphere inside the car fumed with awkwardness and tension which resulted from a mixture of first day anxiety coupled with the privacy with Zixin. Guiying had ridden in Zixin\'s car many times before but for some reason, the space between them felt extra constructed.

Guiying kept rubbing her palms together, her shoulders stiffening with jitters. She saw the chocolate Chen Guiren gave her and feeling a little less tense, she popped the chocolate in her mouth with a soft smile.

Beside her, Zixin threw glances at her and his own brain was churning with different ideas on how to make her relax. But then there was also the intimacy mission set by the super ladies of the house.

Clearing his throat, he shifted ever so slightly and slid his hand closer towards her in an attempt to hold her hand.

We held hands during shopping too. It cannot be so difficult, Zixin thought.

But it proved to be impossible as Guiying unconsciously tightly intertwined her knuckles to deal with the stress she was facing. Zixin pondered on how to set those hands free.

The driver in the front was witnessing the whole awkward silence and Zixin\'s struggle with twitched brows. He pitied Zixin who was desperately trying to think of something to soothe Guiying\'s tension.

"Sir, should I play some music?" He asked.

Zixin blinked at the driver, who stared back at him, signaling that the suggestion was for Guiying. His eyes lit up and he nodded. "Yes, please."

He was sure that Guiying would loosen up by listening to her favorite songs.

Guiying did calm down a little as her fingers began tapping on the song\'s beat and her lips humming with its rhythm.

Zixin craned his neck slightly to see if her hands were free. Though slightly apart now, it seemed Guiying had no intention to keep any distance between her hands. His mind was blank to think of any ideas to increase the proximity between them. It was just a car ride after all.

The driver noticed his expression dropping once again, and his brow twitched.

Ahhh I cannot stand this tension!

He smiled at Guiying through the mirror and asked, "Pardon my intrusion, Mam but I heard it\'s your first day at office today."

Guiying immediately tensed up. What little relief she had gotten vanished in thin air. "Yes, it is."

"That\'s wonderful. Working with Sir Zixin is amazing. He helps out all his employees and staff despite holding such a prestigious position. If one has any concern, they can freely ask him. But Sir is one step ahead. Before anybody could ask, he takes it upon himself to make anybody feel at ease and explain all work and stuff. He is super helpful!"

Guiying beamed. She could easily imagine Zixin like that. He had no ego of being the Chen family\'s son or Chen Corps\' CEO.

Driver Su thought that Zixin would understand his message and offer to help Guiying with today\'s work agenda. Maybe Zixin giving a brief of his schedule would prepare Guiying mentally instead of diving into the unknown. They could come closer, discuss work related things and everybody would be happy.

But that understanding didn\'t get transmitted to Zixin\'s antenna who was still figuring out how to hold Guiying\'s hand.

Driver Su\'s gaze darkened.

I just set up the perfect stage here and he wasn\'t even listening!

"Isn\'t it so, SIR ZIXIN?"

Zixin\'s train of thought broke and he looked up at Driver Su. "What is so?"

"That you are so HELPFUL. You HELP people with all your heart. Isn\'t this a great day to HELP someone? Maybe there is someone here who feels very stressed for some reason."

Zixin blinked twice, making Driver Su have an urge to just jump out of the car.

Okay. It\'s okay. I can do this, he took a deep breath.

He smiled. "Carrying a laptop with you is so convenient these days, right Sir? It has all the work we do. A great starting point to help someone who doesn\'t have a laptop yet but still wants to understand their responsibilities."

Is this how Zixin and Driver Su talk normally? Guiying wondered.

It was then that the bulb inside Zixin\'s head lit up.

Oh yes!

He immediately grabbed his laptop from his bag and beamingly looked at Guiying. "Can you come closer? Ling will explain stuff in detail later, but I can give you a headstart of how the day would look like."

"Yes, yes. That will help a lot."

Guiying didn\'t think much and scooted closer to him, their arms brushing against one another. She leaned forward to get a clear look at his laptop and Zixin did so too, making their heads bump. It then struck Guiying how close they were seated with his lips hovering around her forehead, and her cheeks reddened with the proximity.

Finally!

Driver Su shed emotional tears.
