Wild Young Miss: Mister, Let's Kiss!

43 Wake up as a married man

Well, their travel time could be considered as the standard in a normal speed. Still, during the past two hours, Matthew Xi heaved a sigh of relief when Zoey fell asleep several minutes when she requested for a holding hands.

Stopping at the parking space, Matthew Xi turned to the sleeping Zoey. Reaching his hand towards her, Matthew Xi thought of waking her up.

However, he retracted his hand away inches before he could touch her. His gaze then studied every detail of her facial structure.

'She only behaves when asleep.' Matthew Xi thought inwardly.

Right now, as he watched Zoey's sleeping face, he must admit she appeared oddly peaceful. It was as if she was the kindest and modest person, that wouldn't make a sound.

But that wasn't the case. Zoey was a different person with her consciousness intact. How nice would it be if she just sleeps most of the time.

'Still, how can she sleep with a stranger?' He added, frowning at the sudden thought.

Matthew Xi wouldn't be this comfortable if he was with a person he barely knew. Even if he was attracted with Zoey at first, he had been always hostile and vigilant.

Yet, she does the complete opposite. Was she just ignorant? That was impossible as Matthew Xi perceived that Z Image Group wouldn't last this long if Zoey was ignorant.

Does she trust him that much? Why, though?

Matthew Xi's mind was filled with thoughts: why she was being like this around him? He couldn't really conclude because Zoey wore different faces.

He had seen a few and he was anticipating that there would be more than meets the eye.

"Darling..." Just as he was staring at her, Zoey whispered. She seemed she's still deep in her slumber and was having a dream.

"No... no..." She continued to mumbled with her brows knitting together while sweats formed on her forehead.

"Miss Zhou," Furrowing his brows, Matthew Xi tried to wake her up gently but to no avail. Zoey continued to mumble things which were quite inaudible. Hence, Matthew Xi leaned forward to hear what she was whispering.

"Stop... stop...!" After whispering the word 'stop' repeatedly, Zoey's voice raised as her eyes suddenly opened.

Just in time, Matthew Xi jolted back, casting his surprised gaze on her. Zoey gasped for air heavily, her forehead drenched with beads of sweats as she refocused her gaze to the man on the driver's seat.

"Are you alright?" Seeing her just stared at him while breathing deeply, Matthew Xi raised his brows and asked.

Zoey nodded her head and said, "yes," still a little out of breath.

"Are you sure?"

Seeing the very familiar Z Image parking lot, she returned her gaze to him. "Thanks for driving me home."

"It's nothing." Shaking his head sideways, Matthew Xi unbuckled his seat.

"I won't go anywhere tomorrow. You can use it and return it tomorrow or whenever you have time." Seeing him unbuckled his seat, Zoey offered with a meek smile.

"I'll take a taxi. Thank you, though." Out of politeness, Matthew Xi refused before spouting his 'appreciation'.

Traveling back and forth in this place would be tiring. Also, he wouldn't have enough free time until the 13th as he would go back to work. Matthew Xi needed to clear his schedule and finish what needed to be done if he wanted to free his schedule on the said date.

"Darling, should I drive you home? I'm completely sober now." Staring at him with a complicated eye, Zoey suggested.

It was not that she was trying to impress him or act as his sugar mama. But, recalling how she met him the first time, Zoey was afraid he would bump into troublesome people. Although this location was safe, who knows what would happen.

"Nonsense."

"Just use it for tonight. My conscience can't take it if you get robbed and stabbed again." Sighing, Zoey cleared her throat and unbuckled her seat.

Without further ado, she hitched outside and leaned down, peaking through the gape of the opened door. "You might wake up as a married man if that happens." She added before shutting the door close.

'There she goes again...' Matthew Xi murmured internally. However, her last sentence got him as he shuddered at the thought.

Given that it was impossible that Zoey could do that, however, recalling that traumatic incident, Matthew Xi reconsidered her offer. In the end, he still used her car and drove back somewhere. Little did he noticed that there was another car parked at the parking space and the person inside staring to where they were.
