Wei Chengxi froze on the spot, the color draining from his face.
A gust of wind blew in from the mouth of the alley, swirling up the fallen leaves on the ground.
He was so stunned that he didn't notice Ling Anxun get in the car and drive away.
The sound of the engine starting broke the silence.
In the car, Shanshan puffed out her cheeks and glared unhappily at her dad.
"Jeez, it took me forever to find a free errand boy, and you just scared him off like that? Who's going to carry my schoolbag for me now?"
"Keeping someone with those kinds of intentions around is just asking for trouble."
Ling Anxun's brows furrowed, and his tone grew stern.
"I forbid you from ever getting involved in something like this again."
As soon as he said that, even Xiao Zhou, who was driving, couldn't help but steal a glance in the rearview mirror.
'When the boss gets truly angry, the air itself feels like it could freeze over.'
Shanshan blinked, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
