200: Special Encore
The car drove out of the parking space.
An Keer knew exactly where they were going next.
Even after their interaction just now, her good impression of Xu Zimo had doubled, and she had even tacitly accepted their relationship.
But when she thought about what was about to happen to her, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
She couldn't help but clutch the seatbelt tightly in front of her, as if trying to give herself some sense of security.
But it was no use.
"Don't be nervous."
Xu Zimo noticed her unusual state, so he freed one hand and placed it on her white silk stockings.
The white silk stockings were of an unusual quality, feeling extremely good to the touch.
However, his comfort not only failed to have any effect but made An Keer even more nervous, her body tensing up.
She seemed to be worried about something, a hint of melancholy appearing in the depths of her pupils.
"I'm just taking you to rest for a while, and by the way... we can get to know each other better."
Was it really just to get to know each other?
If it weren't for her white silk stockings almost pilling, An Keer would have almost believed him.
Of course, her mindset now was different from when they first met.
When she agreed to meet Xu Zimo, her mood was no different from going to a battlefield.
It was a choice made out of necessity.
She had no other path to choose.
But now, feeling Xu Zimo's affection for her, An Keer felt joy instead.
She bit her lip lightly, her eyes trembling, lost in thought.
The car soon arrived at the hotel.
Because the hotel had been booked on the way and the approximate arrival time had been announced, the Private Butler was already waiting at the entrance.
"Mr. Xu, welcome to our Yida Wenhua Hotel."
Under the Private Butler's guidance, the two entered the hotel elevator.
In the small space, An Keer could clearly hear her own heartbeat, and she held Xu Zimo's arm tightly due to nervousness.
The Private Butler swiped open the room door, completed the basic procedures, then respectfully handed two room cards to Xu Zimo and withdrew.
The suite was very large, with the Xiang River visible outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
An Keer stood there, at a loss.
Xu Zimo walked to her side and gently lifted her chin: "What, are you scared?"
"Yes."
An Keer actually admitted it, indicating that she had already developed trust in Xu Zimo.
There was even a hint of... dependence.
After all, Xu Zimo was the one who pulled her out of the mire.
Xu Zimo didn't speak; under her gaze, he captured her small mouth.
Slowly, her cheeks flushed, and she softened in Xu Zimo's arms.
It wasn't until Xu Zimo picked her up that An Keer came to her senses, saying with a trembling voice: "Brother, I still..."
"Don't worry, I just want to have a simple chat with you, to deepen our understanding of each other's past. Nothing will happen."
An Keer believed him.
But she soon cried.
Wuwu!~
Brother is a... big liar!
...Xu Zimo was not a fastidious person.
But he never expected that An Keer was actually a young girl who hadn't even fully matured.
Shocked.
No wonder the system kept popping up tasks about An Keer, and after he added An Keer's contact information, it popped up again after being left for a week.
Initially, Xu Zimo hadn't thought she would have anything unique about her.
Now he understood.
"System Dad is a good person; I misunderstood System Dad!"
The way he referred to the system also changed.
Where could he find such a good system?!
Xu Zimo couldn't help but think of that strong woman who was looking for a child for a high price.
Could she... also be very special?!
Hiss!
Honestly, without knowing what kind of person the other party was, Xu Zimo really didn't care for that reward anymore.
But now, he had the idea of doing this task.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
An Keer's voice woke Xu Zimo from his thoughts.
She was nestled in Xu Zimo's arms, crying sadly because she had just been deceived, which made her eyes red, with tears still welling in the corners of her eyes.
She looked so pitiful, like a small white flower battered by wind and rain, evoking sympathy.
However.
Her voice was full of nervousness and worry, and she even hugged Xu Zimo tightly, as if afraid of something.
Perhaps.
At this moment, in her heart, she had already come to regard Xu Zimo as the only person she could rely on in this world.
If he were to disdain her because of her flaws, she truly wouldn't know how to continue on her path.
"Brother, I will be obedient from now on."
An Keer's voice even trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Why are you crying again?"
Xu Zimo was startled, feeling incredibly pained, and freed his hand to wipe away her tears again.
Could this little white flower be worried that he wouldn't want her?!
How could that be?!
She had no idea how attractive she was to men.
It could even be said that even if the system gave her a beauty score of 91, in Xu Zimo's heart, if not a perfect score, it was at least 99.9999!
This was talent!
In the words of netizens, she was a born Saint Body!
System Dad, I love you.
"Don't cry."
Under Xu Zimo's comfort, An Keer, though still sniffling, eventually calmed down.
However, her tear-filled eyes were still fixed on Xu Zimo.
Seemingly trying to discern the truth.
She continued to promise, "Brother, I will work hard to be a qualified girlfriend."
Her current demeanor and actions were no different from someone who had just been rescued from drowning; she was afraid of falling back into the water.
That's why she was so anxious and uneasy.
"Okay."
Xu Zimo carefully brushed away a few strands of hair clinging to her cheek.
She already possessed her own unique temperament, exuding a delicate, otherworldly coolness.
However, life had forced her to become worldly.
Causing that temperament in her to be greatly weakened.
She was no longer the carefree rich girl, but an ordinary girl who had to face life on her own.
Feeling Xu Zimo's concern for her, An Keer slowly relaxed.
"Brother, I..."
She wanted to fulfill her duties as a girlfriend.
Xu Zimo, however, held her hand, then pulled her into his arms, "No need."
Why show off?
"But..."
An Keer hesitated slightly.
"Just rest well."
Xu Zimo glared at her, who was still stirring, and the girl finally quieted down.
Next was the issue of her accommodation.
From the task content, An Keer had no place to live, not even enough for daily expenses like food.
So, he made a decision: "Take another day off tomorrow. I'll have my assistant come over and accompany you to look at an apartment."
"An apartment?"
An Keer looked up at him in surprise.
Was he... going to buy her an apartment?!
