Chapter 5
"Jasmine, you're so silly!" Yael looked at Jasmine with a sharp look and saw Jasmine's head drooping without saying a word. Then he turned his head to Selena, "Miss Pei, I'm so sorry. Jasmine is causing you trouble."
Selena looked up at the other person, shook her head and thanked him again. She then turned around again and walked into Pei's house.
As she was leaving, she seemed to have heard Jasmine angrily shouting her name "Selena!"
However, she didn't want to care about the person anymore and just ignored her.
After today's events, Selena was sure that she would become the topic of ridicule in the upper-class circle.
She didn't have anything, but now, even her face was trampled on by the soles of Jasmine's rude behavior.
When the dusk was over, she bid farewell to her parents and left the party.
Just after walking out, she stood on the side of the road and looked around, but suddenly realized that this was the Pei's house. No taxi would come here at all because people around this neighborhood had cars. It was a neighborhood where the wealthy people gather.
After a moment of sentimentality, she was thinking about how to go back.
Should she wait for a taxi and just hope it would come, or should she go back and ask help from her father so that they could drive her home?
It seemed that only these two methods could solve her current predicament. Whether she wanted to or not, the second method was more secure.
However, she had already embarrassed her father. Looking back at the lights and flowers by the door of the Pei's house, she couldn't muster the courage to go in again.
At this moment, a black car suddenly halted beside her, and Selena, who was looking back at the lights inside, turned her face in shock.
The front window was lowered and a familiar face slowly emerged from her view. The man smiled and asked her, "Ms. Pei, are you leaving too? I wonder if I would have the honor to drop you off."
It was Yael, the one who saved her earlier.
However, she didn't want anything to do with the Zhou family anymore.
"No, no, I'm waiting for someone." After speaking, Selena felt warmth in her face.
In fact, everyone who came today probably already knew she came in a taxi. Such an excuse was so pale and weak, but she still chose to lie to protect her dignity at this time.
Yael kept his smile and looked at her for a while before speaking again, "Ms. Pei, it may not be convenient for others to come over at this time. You shouldn't waste time waiting when I am very willing to drive you. Don't worry, I will bring you home safely."
Selena felt that the man had lied for her sake as to not make her feel embarrassed. Warmth poured into her heart as she smiled and thanked him for his kindness. She then opened the door of the back seat and slid in without refusing.
The car started to move, slowly throwing aside the colorful world.
Yael looked up and saw the woman in the back seat sitting quietly in the rearview mirror. The side of her head was resting against the window, her eyes were calmly looking out as if she was lost in deep thought.
The lights outside the car were shining brightly and were reflected on Selena's face, he couldn't help but see her as a beautiful dream.
He suddenly remembered when she fell down earlier. It seemed that the panicked expression on her face at that moment was the most genuine reaction he has ever seen on her face today.
