Today York Gu just deliberately wanted to flirt with Nell Su. He wanted to make her panic. Staying with Nell could get rid of all his bad issues at work.

“Don’t struggle anymore. If you fall from my arms, you would get hurt badly.

York slightly warned Nell. He held her tighter and closer, walking towards his car.

The car was not far. It was parked at the corner of the yard behind the back door of the pub. There was the Jaguar that York often drove.

Nell saw the car was only few feet away. She whispered in York’s ear, “It is only a short distance. Just put me down. I can walk myself.”

“No, I have said it. You are injured. How can I let you walk? I must do my job as a gentleman.”

York made himself heard. Nell didn’t have anything to refute.

Actually, York was a naughty boy. He liked making funs with other and pranked others up with jokes. But these pranks have been prohibited by his family when York grew up. He hadn’t had fun for such a long time.

So in most people’s eyes, York was just a cold-blooded person.

York himself knew it in his heart, like one of his friends said, “There is always a naughty demon living inside a cold person.”

Today after a few drinks, his naughty demon had finally pop up.

York took Nell into the car. He fastened the safety belt for Nell and then started the engine.

These thoughtful behaviors made Nell’s heart pumped faster and stronger that her ears started to turn red and face blushed. York saw that, but he didn’t say a word.

“Let me drive you home.”

York got into the car and said.

“What? Alright.”

Nell didn’t know why, when York said he sent her home, she hesitated for a while.

It might because at the beginning that York didn’t tell her why he asked her out to drink.

In Nell’s heart, she could only find an excuse to comfort herself. She tried to calm. Nell laid her head on the chair, closing her eyes, and pretended to sleep.

York looked at Nell. He knew that she pretended it. Otherwise if a person was asleep, his shoulder wouldn’t be that tight.

Obviously, Nell was taking precautions against York.

York stopped teasing with Nell. He said, “Today I asked you out. I simply want to talk with you. I didn’t mean to say anything to you. Honestly, I felt anxious. And was looking for someone to talk to. That’s it. I am definitely not up to something.”

“Is it just about work?”

Hearing what York said, Nell didn’t pretend to sleep anymore. She asked carefully.

“You can say that.” York considered for a while. He watched the front, paused and said, “You know that I care about this company very much. When I came back, I found that I lost all my power. I was panic, totally. Can you understand how I feel?”

“I…”

Nell planned to just said she didn’t know. But she knew York was really sad. She changed it, “I understand.”

Not knowing why, when Nell saw York feel sad, in her heart, she also felt unhappy.

It felt liked that she wanted to protect York, protect him from being hurt by this world.

Such feeling appeared firstly in Nell’s heart. There was only once when those people broke into her home to ask for money from her mother and sister. She had that feeling to protect someone. And this time was the second time.

“So.” York found that Nell changed her attitude towards him. He wanted to make it further, “Can you help me?”

“How can I help you?”

York made her confused again.

Nell thought that York asked her out simply wanted to talk with her to release his stress. She did not know how she can help York.

“And… I really don’t know how I can help you.”

Nell hesitated for a second. She didn’t positively reject York. She did show that she didn’t want to help him.

York stopped the car at the traffic light. He seriously looked at Nell’s eyes and said, “I haven’t decided what you can do for me. What I need now is your answer. Just tell me whether you will help me or not.”

“I I I…”

Nell did worry that she would get into trouble by helping York. She hadn’t paid the debt yet. Her mother and sister still needed her to take care of.

At this time, if Nell made troubles for herself by helping York, it would be a terrible strike for Nell and her family.

York kept staring at Nell. He held her chin by his fingers, not letting her to look away. Nell was a bit scared and wanted to recoil.

“Is it so difficult to give me a direct answer?”

When York said this, he didn’t notice that the light turned green.

The cars behind him pressed the horn to urge York to drive.
