Chapter 1012: Chapter 1012: He's Going Down to Repair the Car Chapter 1012: Chapter 1012: He's Going Down to Repair the Car “How could it have crashed at this time?” Li Shengxiao hadn't expected such a situation, and with a frown of surprise, he ordered, “Call the insurance company to have them tow the car, and call Gu Ming to send another car over.”
“Yes.” The driver frantically searched for his phone, dialed a number, and his complexion turned ugly. He reported back despondently, “Mr. Li, there's no signal here.”
The rain outside poured down like a bucket, and the temperature inside the car wasn't high. Rong Yan was only wearing a thin T-shirt, and without the warmth of the car's air conditioning–even with the doors shut tight–it was still cold.
Li Shengxiao felt the goosebumps forming on her arms and his brows gathered, “Cold?”
“A little.” Rong Yan hugged her arms around herself, rubbing them for warmth.
Li Shengxiao took off his suit jacket, wrapped her up tightly in it, making her a bundle and scooped her into his embrace, asking, “Is that better?”
Struggling to get up, Rong Yan said, “If you give me your jacket, what will you do? We're on a mountain road and it's raining outside; you'll be cold too. Take your jacket back. My constitution is much stronger than yours; I don't catch colds easily.”
“Not easily doesn't mean you won't,” Li Shengxiao held her still with no intention of taking back the jacket, “Aren't you supposed to be in the finals of AQ tomorrow? Do you want to go with a hoarse voice?”
Rong Yan, “…”
She did not want to.
She had finally made contact with Hanks Dina through Estelle's husband's connections, and luckily, they truly listened to her work. She didn't want to throw away her efforts just before the finish line.
But…
Rong Yan's melon-seed face was about to wrinkle up, her bright eyes looking at him, saying, “If you get cold, tell me and I'll give you back the jacket.”
Li Shengxiao raised an eyebrow, not believing that he, a man, would ask for his jacket back in front of his girlfriend, but in front of Rong Yan, he agreed, “Hmm, I'll tell you.”
The driver was restless in the driver's seat, and after the two finished talking, he interjected, “Mr. Li, what do we do now?”
Clenching his teeth as he looked at the heavy rain outside, he said, “How about I run back to Mr. Han's place and have them send a car over?”
In this rain, he'd be soaked through in less than a minute, even his underwear.
But it was his careless driving just now that caused this accident, trapping Mr. Li and Miss Rong in the car with the plummeting temperature. At night, no other cars would be passing by on this road. Other than self-rescue, there was no choice.
Li Shengxiao gazed out at the relentless downpour and pondered the situation, frowning as he asked the driver, “Do we have an umbrella in the car?”
“An umbrella?” After searching around, the driver found a spare black umbrella, “Mr. Li, we have one!”
Li Shengxiao lifted Rong Yan off his lap and said to the little woman intent on joining him, “Stay in the car and wait for me. I'll go check if the car can be fixed and come right back.”
When Rong Yan heard him ask the driver for an umbrella, she realized he was going to check on the car and immediately said, “I'll go with you.”
Li Shengxiao pushed her back into the seat, lifted his eyelids to ask her, “Can you fix cars?”
Rong Yan, “…” Okay, she couldn't.
The man, with his noble posture, straightened up and opened the car door, “Sit here and wait for me. If you don't know how to fix cars, going out will only mean one more person getting wet. I have the umbrella; don't worry about me.”
