Chapter 638 I Need To Take Care Of You


    Wesley said nothing more. After a moment of thought, ir said seriously, "How about I stay at a hotel


    tonight? There''s one not far from where you''re living." It would be improper to stay at the Li family''s


    vi. Especially given what happened between her and Wesley.


    "No need for that. We have tons of space."


    "But I hate bugging you..." ''I''m not Wesley''s girlfriend. It''s pretty embarrassing to stay with him, '' she


    thought.


    "Don''t think like that. My family loves you. They love having you around. Please. Stay," Wesley said


    earnestly. He could tell that his grandpa was more than thrilled because ir was there. There was a


    spring in the old man''s step and a light in his eyes. He wanted his grandpa to be happy. More


    importantly, he wanted to spend more time with her.


    Rather than argue any further, ir gave in. "All right then. Hey, where are we going?"


    It was freezing outside, and Wesley knew that she was not used to the cold. He nned to take her to


    a mall. "Let''s go shopping."


    "Okay." Actually, as long as she was by his side, she was fine wherever Wesley wanted to go.


    He stopped at a red light, looked out the window and said, "My alma mater."


    "Huh?" ir followed his gaze and saw a school—F City No. 1 Primary School.


    The school gates were closed, and there was only one old guy on duty in the reception office. Wesley


    started the engine, so ir looked away. "You haven''t been there in a long time, huh?" she asked.


    "Yeah. More than ten years." He hadn''t been there since he had graduated from primary school.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    "Which junior middle school did you go to?"


    He chuckled. "No. 1 Junior Middle School. Just down the road a ways."


    "What about senior middle school?"


    "The same middle school. I skipped two grades, and when I was 15, I attended the University of


    National Defense in G City." After graduation, Wesley had a pretty nice rank in the army. Not high, but


    definitely higher than most recruits. That was why he was now much younger than his colleagues of the


    same rank.


    "Did she go to the same schools?" ir suddenly asked.


    "Who?" Wesley was puzzled.


    "That girl with short hair... I tried to video chat with you yesterday, but she answered." Her uniform


    looked simr to Wesley''s, so ir was guessing they had quite a bit inmon.


    Wesley answered, sounding as calm as ever, "That''s Ga. Ga Jiang. We''ve known each other


    since we were kids. We went to school together. By the time she entered the University of National


    Defense, I was close to graduating."


    ''Ga Jiang...'' Somehow, ir felt a little jealous. "And now? You''re celebrating the New Year


    together? When''s the engagement?"


    Wesley furrowed his eyebrows. "What are you talking about?"


    ''I knew it! I knew she was lying. Wesley couldn''t care less about romance, '' ir thought. ''The reason


    why he kissed me so many times is that I was flirting with him. Of course he was going to do


    something. But just because he let me make hime, doesn''t mean he loves me. A hand job is not


    hand-fasting.''


    "She said she was your fiancee. She also said there were a lot of girls that had a crush on you, and


    warned me to stay away. I figured that was how you felt, too. That was why I decided not to fly in


    today." ir was calm on the surface; deep inside, she was super-nervous. She had long wanted to


    know who this girl was to him, but she hadn''t had the chance until now.


    On the drive over this morning, she had been too sleepy to talk to him. She slumped in her seat and


    just closed her eyes, listening to the rhythm of the engine. When she had finally woke up, they were


    already at his house.


    ir waited for Wesley to say something—anything. He kept silent, which frustrated and annoyed her.


    "Look, if she''s your fiancee, I can get a hotel. It just wouldn''t be a good thing, and I don''t want to make


    her jealous. And I''ll find a ce and move out as soon as I get back home."


    "She''s not." Wesley knew ir didn''t mean what she said. She was just babbling, trying to get him to


    say something. "She''s three months younger than me. She''s like my sister."


    ir wasn''t satisfied with his answer. "Sister again? I guess this is the same case as Megan. When is


    she going to be your lover?" she sneered.


    Wesley cast a sidelong nce at her and simply said, "Watch your mouth."


    ir snorted and looked out the window. But when she finally calmed down, she felt a lot better. He


    had no feelings for Ga Jiang.


    Silence reigned inside the car. After a while, ir got bored and tried to start a conversation. "Does she


    have a thing for you?"


    "Don''t know, don''t care. I don''t think of her that way."


    Wesley''s answer threw ir for a loop. She wanted to make it difficult for him, but had no excuse.


    "Do you have a lot of girls hoping to go out with you?" she asked. She wasn''t sure if she should have


    asked that when she saw the look on his face.


    Wesley pulled over and looked her in the eye. ir''s heart raced in her chest and she wondered what


    he was going to say. "We''re here," he simply said.


    ir blinked her eyes innocently. "What?"


    Wesley unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car.


    ir looked around, and saw they were in the parking garage of the shopping mall. Wesley opened the


    passenger door and unfastened her seat belt rudely. "ir," he said.


    "Huh?" He took her hand and helped her out of the car. The next second, he pressed her against the


    vehicle.


    "I have no interest in romance. I don''t know who''s hot for me, and I don''t want to know. Just ignore


    Ga. I don''t hate you, and I''ll continue to take care of you. You don''t need to move out, because


    nothing else is gonna happen. Just quit seducing me. It drives me up the wall and I don''t know what to


    do."


    His words were like a knife piercing ir''s heart. Despite the bitterness in her heart, she curled her lips


    and asked, "Then why are you taking me out?" ''Seriously? Why does he have to ruin my holiday like


    this?'' she thought.


    He let go of her and step backwards. "I don''t want Mom and Grandpa to be unhappy."


    "I see." She was still smiling, hiding her emotion deep inside.


    She was already used to Wesley turning her down. It was not the first time he had done this.


    ''Fine. Since you fucked up my holiday, you can''t have a good holiday either.


    I have lots of ways to make you mad, '' she thought angrily.


    Wesley felt something was not right judging from her expression. "Penny for your thoughts?" he pried.


    "Mind your own business!" She adjusted her hat. "You can just wait here or look around. I''ll go


    shopping myself. When I''m done, I''lle back here and we''ll go back to your house. Sounds like your


    family will be upset if we don''t."


    Wesley sighed helplessly. "You don''t know this city."


    ir rolled her eyes at him. "Okay. And?"


    "I brought you here. I need to take care of you," he insisted.


    "No need for that, Colonel Li. I''m not a little girl. And I have my phone. If I really get lost, I can use


    Google Maps." He cocked an eyebrow. ir put her hands inside her pockets and walked towards the


    elevator.


    Wesley followed after her. But she turned around and yelled, "Hey!"


    "Hmm?"


    "Don''t follow me! Otherwise, I''ll call the police and tell them I have a stalker!"


    Wesley stood there, open-mouthed, silent.


    Seeing his sullen face, ir felt better. She turned around and kept walking.
