Chapter 319: Jun Mo
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just as she started feeling anxious, a Maserati steadily halted in front of her. A handsome yet effeminate ‘man’ appeared once the vehicle’s window was rolled down.
Yun Shishi’s brows slightly kneaded when she recognized him!
No, it was a ‘her’.
Jun Mo lived in the house next to theirs.
Seeing that the vehicle had intentionally stopped in front of her, Yun Shishi greeted the woman inside in a friendly manner, “Hello!”
Jun Mo removed her glasses and scanned her with a pair of beautiful eyes. Her lips slightly formed a curve.
“Get in.”
Yun Shishi was a little dazed at her two-word invitation.
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“It’s hard to get a cab here.” Her voice was deep with a distinct rawness and sexless quality to it. If one were not to listen carefully, they might be unable to tell whether it belonged to a male or a female.
Although it was a little abrupt, time was of the essence, so disregarding how unreasonable it was, she immediately nodded. “… Thanks!”
She opened the rear door and got in the back seat. Jun Mo skillfully maneuvered the car and, stepping on its accelerator, it swiftly left the grounds of Xiangti Walk.
Yun Shishi placed the bag to her side and curiously roamed her eyes over the car’s interior. Her eyes laid on the handsome face in the rearview mirror.
She used ‘handsome’ to describe her because, regardless of her aura or attire, Jun Mo had an androgynous feel to her; she had a man’s poise and grace but also a woman’s refinement and delicacy.
Her handsomeness was undefined by gender. Her phoenix eyes in particular were deep-set and attractive. For a moment, even she was mesmerized.
Jun Mo raised her eyes and met her scrutinizing gaze through the rearview mirror.
Yun Shishi awkwardly retracted her gaze.
It was damp and freezing in the vehicle.
The weather at dawn was a little chilly after an overnight shower.
The air inside the car was slightly cooling, and on top of that, she was only wearing flimsy garments, so it could not be helped that she felt cold.
The singer flashed a glance at her troubled face, and her thin lips pried apart, “Cold?”
“Mm! A little.”
The singer returned her gaze to the front and, without saying another word, turned on the heater.
A while later, the entire vehicle was filled with warmth.
Yun Shishi was moved by her thoughtfulness and immediately expressed her gratitude. The corner of Jun Mo’s lips flipped upward, but she did not say anything. She simply took out a stick from her cigarette pack and lit it with practiced ease.
Her lighter was a limited commemorative edition of Zippo’s Keeper of the Flame. It was rare to see it on the market.
The fragrance of her cigarette diffused within the vehicle.
It was neither strong nor pungent. On the contrary, it was quite pleasant-smelling and, at the very least, it was not distasteful.
The journey to the headquarters was spent in silence.
The vehicle traveled at high speed, and the scenery outside constantly flashed by.
“You’re called Yun Shishi, right?”
“Yes.” She was surprised. “How did you know my name?”
“I saw you at the gala.” Jun Mo went silent for a moment, as if she were thinking of how to word her thought, and, ultimately, decided with two simple words. “Very beautiful.”
Yun Shishi blushed and then grinned. “Thank you.”
This was a little unexpected.
Jun Mo seemed to be proud and unapproachable, but she was, in fact, not as reserved as she appeared to be – she was surprisingly friendly.
She said, “It’s a good opportunity to be signed on to Huanyu. Do treasure it.”
“Yes, I will!”
The vehicle drove into Huanyu Tower in no time.
“Dropping you off here. I’ll go park the car.” She left her with these words as she headed for the parking garage.
She was overwhelmed by her kindness.
It felt as if she were in a dream; everything seemed surreal.
After all, growing up, other than Xiao Xue, very few women had treated her this nicely.
