Chapter 2239
Sure, here’s the translation based on your guidelines:
Jiaojiao lowered her head and opened the thermos beside her, sipping the warm soup. Her health was really poor; she could manage with cold hands and feet in summer, but in winter, when her hands and feet were still cold, it became somewhat unbearable.
Duan Xi usually drove with one hand and used the other hand to warm her hands, but today it was snowing heavily, making the roads difficult to navigate, so he couldn’t afford to be distracted and could only glance at her with concern from time to time.
"Brother Xi, stop staring at me. No matter how much you look, you won’t see a flower blooming." Jiaojiao took another sip and said.
Duan Xi smiled. He was over three years older than Jiaojiao and would turn twenty-two this summer. Having started a company, he had fully shed the layer of boyish innocence, exuding a mature charm that belonged solely to men. Although he had a rather cool demeanor, the colder a person is, the more irresistible they become when they smile.
Jiaojiao found herself at a loss, her heart racing rapidly.
She quickly averted her gaze, telling herself not to indulge in male beauty, but her mouth honestly proposed to Duan Xi, "Brother Xi, how about I visit you this afternoon? I’ll have big brother drive me over."
Calculating the time, Jiaojiao realized she hadn’t visited the company for a while. Firstly, she wasn’t in the mood, and secondly, she was genuinely busy. Although there weren’t many classes in the fourth year, there were plenty of other activities. The last time she went to the company seemed to be during its opening phase; she wondered how it was doing now.
"Sure," Duan Xi naturally agreed, "Let’s have lunch together."
"Okay! I’ll get a takeaway from the hotel for you at the time. Do you want me to bring some for your employees?"
"No need, there’s a cafeteria downstairs."
"Okay." Jiaojiao nodded, capped the half-finished warm soup, placed it below the seat, and when she looked up, she saw a jeep stopped ahead. Surrounding the jeep were a group of sturdy men holding steel pipes, seemingly ready to trouble the owner within.
Because the road wasn’t wide enough and Duan Xi’s vehicle was also an off-road car, they had to slow down and gradually move forward while two of the burly men at the center of the road had to make way.
The distance between the two vehicles was about five or six meters. Jiaojiao lowered the window and craned her neck to look outside.
Seeing it’s a little girl, the men immediately glared ferociously and were about to wave their steel pipes with threats. But a glance at Duan Xi’s cold demeanor in the driver’s seat made them quickly desist, even clearing the way for them.
As the vehicle passed by slowly, Jiaojiao saw the person inside the jeep and widened her eyes in surprise. She thought it was a social confrontation, but unexpectedly, the person inside turned out to be a girl, a girl with long flowing hair and an excellent aura.
The girl was sitting in the driver’s seat, seemingly on the phone, and feeling Jiaojiao’s gaze, she looked up and smiled, curling her lips.
At this time, the car had already moved past, but Jiaojiao hadn’t yet redirected her gaze and said to Duan Xi, "Brother Xi, that girl just now looked really familiar."
As she finished speaking, the girl from the jeep had already stepped out.
She wore a trench coat, with an elegant, scholarly aura, yet when she made a move... she effortlessly tossed a pipe-wielding thug to the ground.
"..." Jiaojiao was utterly dumbstruck.
The car moved slowly in the winter, allowing Jiaojiao to watch as the girl single-handedly floored every one of them!
