Chapter 861 Midnight

• His voice was husky and raspy, but it sounded almost hypnotic. Hu Tu froze for a second, then she looked up at him who was in the driver’s seat. His expression was as inscrutable as ever, though she thought something was off, and it was awkward talking about this kind of matter with her uncle. Her face turned scarlet, but still she gave it a thought and answered, “Hmm, at least he has to like me and not complain about me even if I’m useless.” She sounded solemn, but the girl heaved a sigh of relief after saying that. Well, they say that untalented women are virtuous, though will people like women who can’t do a thing in this era?
• “Okay,” he replied imperceptibly. Hu Tu looked outside the window, not taking what he replied to heart. After sending her back to school, Ning Jian turned around and drove away.
• She thought he would mention the matter about tutoring her, for he had given her the house key, but he said nothing about it. Hu Tu heaved a sigh of relief because of that, for she was still scared of Ning Jian, so she didn’t want him to tutor her. Just like what she said, she would feel content if she had a partner who wouldn’t complain about her. The girl wouldn’t mind anything else. That night, Ning Shang texted her to say that their mother had woken up and gone back home, much to her relief.
