Pampered by My Billionaire Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 12: There’s a Coldness Called Gu Jingchen Thinking You’re Cold

"I'm not that cold..."

"You must be cold. Even though it's summer, Yun City is coastal—the wind can be quite biting." Shang Xixia's long eyelashes lowered, and her cherry-red lips curved into a small smile. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Jingchen's sexy throat rolled slightly. His suit, carrying the clean yet masculine fragrance of his body, was gently draped over the delicate frame of the petite woman.

"Oh." She was naturally an obedient girl, and the young lady nodded firmly, giving Gu Jingchen a sweet smile.

Such a smile, imbued with breathtaking and captivating allure, made the man's heart waver fiercely, his emotions surging in hidden currents.

"Our belongings can't be seen by others. So, there's a kind of cold—that's Gu Jingchen thinking you're cold..." The corner of the man's lips tugged upward into an inviting curve as he murmured softly, his heart carrying a trace of pride.

"Thank you, Brother Jingchen." The young lady parted her reddish lips slightly and continued softly. Though she was just in her early twenties, Shang Xixia certainly understood the truth of "everyone strikes at a fallen tree," especially given the current circumstances surrounding her and Li Cengjing. Therefore, the young lady was all the more grateful.

"Silly girl, no need to be so polite with me." At that moment, the young woman's thick, long lashes blinked with an air of innocent purity, stirring the man's heart so profoundly that he unintentionally became a little enamored.

As he finally managed to adjust his emotions, snapping out of his captivated state, the man gazed at the petite woman he cherished. A tender smile danced across his handsome face as he said,

"Come on, let's go. Get in the car—I'll take you all back." The man forced himself to shift his focus, reached out his elegant fingers to open the car door on the passenger side, his sharp-featured, handsome face still carrying a gentle, clean smile. He turned to look at the three young companions beside him and spoke.

While his words were directed at the three, Gu Jingchen's deep eyes seemed permanently glued to Shang Xixia's slender figure, filled with passionate infatuation that refused to waver or let go.

"Alright." Shang Xixia and Zhou Xingyan smiled and nodded, yet there was no response from Yu Tingting. Zhou Xingyan turned to look at her best friend. Clearly, this girl was still stuck in her daze from witnessing the drop-dead gorgeous Gu Jingchen, "the universe's unrivaled handsome man." Zhou Xingyan hurriedly extended her fair elbow and gently nudged Yu Tingting. The lovestruck young lady finally snapped out of it, a hint of embarrassment crossing her face. She chuckled softly, adorably rubbed her cheeks, and acted super kawaii.

"Xixia, I actually came to bail you out." Just as the three were about to get into the car, a BMW pulled up outside the police station. Li Chengxi stepped down from the car, his gaze immediately darkening as he noticed Gu Jingchen with Shang Xixia. His face was clouded, his expression gloomy, lips pressed tightly together as he shot Gu Jingchen a resentful look.

"Young Master Li, what a coincidence. We met just a few days ago, and I got to witness your incredible driving skills—precisely aiming for a trash can. Quite admirable, truly."

Gu Jingchen's thin lips lifted slightly, his tone light yet unequivocal, showcasing the very essence of his cunning demeanor to perfection.

The man noticed Shang Xixia's body stiffen subtly. Almost reflexively, he reached out his defined hand to lightly tug the sleeve of his jacket draped over her, pulling the young lady protectively behind him.

When Gu Jingchen mentioned the events of a few days ago, Li Chengxi's lips pressed even harder together, his anger simmering to the point he seemed ready to grind his teeth.

"No need, thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here. If you truly want me to feel better, you should ensure your sister and girlfriend behave, stop meddling in my life."

Seeing the man she once deeply loved standing before her, Shang Xixia's heart surged with a burning pain. She lowered her clear eyes, trying to suppress the subtle sting in them. Raising her beautiful brow, she spoke clearly, word by word.

"Xixia..." Li Chengxi reached out his hand, intending to touch Shang Xixia, only to find Gu Jingchen standing firmly in front of her. With Yu Tingting and Zhou Xingyan also nearby, he tightened his lips, wanting to say something, yet found himself unable to speak under such circumstances, ultimately standing silently in place.

"Xixia, let me take you home!" Time passed silently. Watching Shang Xixia turn to enter Gu Jingchen's car, Li Chengxi called out.

"No need. I can manage. There's someone inside waiting for you to deal with!"

Shang Xixia responded coldly and took a seat in Gu Jingchen's car.

Yu Tingting and Zhou Xingyan also climbed into Gu Jingchen's car. As they left, both young women shot fierce glares at Li Chengxi. If looks could kill, Li Chengxi would likely have been pierced a thousand times over by their glares.

"Truly shameless..." As Gu Jingchen's car moved steadily, Yu Tingting muttered softly from the back seat.

"Absolutely. He took Xixia's belongings, caused Pin Hao to disappear, bullied Xixia through his sister while involving himself with Pin Hao's girlfriend. And now, he acts like a savior? His audacity is unmatched; hopeless."

Zhou Xingyan's lips tugged slightly as she expressed her disdain for such a person.

"Shang Xixia, just you wait. One day, I'll take you back!" Li Chengxi's face grew darker and more ominous. Watching Gu Jingchen's parting, pointed glance left him gritting his teeth furiously!

With this thought, Li Chengxi stomped hard on the ground and moved toward the police station.

"Apologies, Mr. Li, but your sister and girlfriend are still involved in an assault case and cannot be released for now."

Acting on higher orders, the police adhered strictly to procedure. While the situation wasn't particularly grave, they had to maintain appearances at this moment.

"Are you kidding? My sister is injured like this, yet she's still detained while others who are unharmed walk away completely unscathed?"

Recalling what he'd just witnessed, Li Chengxi's trembling fingers stabbed the air as he pointed at the police officer, his face twisting in rage.

"Mr. Li, please calm down. Those who left earlier might appear unharmed, but their injuries are internal—you can't see that. Also, our procedures are highly humane. You still have five minutes. If you'd like to see your sister and girlfriend, I suggest you hurry."
