Chapter 938 You're cheating!

Sheng Yao pouted, looking aggrieved.

What is that?

If you don't want to be with her, you can just tell her directly. Why do this, making her worry for no reason?

Sheng Yao sat alone on a chair in the private room, her eyes glistening with tears, looking like she was about to cry.

They looked extremely pitiful.

When Shen Boyan returned from the restroom, he saw Sheng Yao sitting alone in the private room, holding a glass of honey water, her head slightly lowered, seemingly lost in thought.

What are you doing?

Sheng Yao suddenly looked up and saw Shen Boyan, her eyes filled with surprise, "You didn't leave?"

Shen Boyan asked, puzzled, "Where am I going?"

He had been sitting for a while when he felt unwell in his stomach, so he went to the bathroom.

I don't know if it's really because of that bottle of wine, but he's been acting strangely all day.

I was dizzy and my stomach was upset, so I ended up staying in the bathroom for a full half hour.

Sheng Yao was still caught up in her emotions when she asked, "Then... why didn't you answer the phone?"

Shen Boyan took out his phone, pressed the buttons twice, but it didn't light up.

"...Out of power, turned off."

Sheng Yao thought back to what she had just imagined and found it somewhat ridiculous.

She gave an awkward laugh, trying to hide her embarrassment.

Then, he picked up the honey water on the table and handed it to Shen Boyan, saying, "Drink this quickly. Are you still feeling unwell? Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?"

Shen Boyan drank the honey water and shook his head. "No need. Let's go, I'll take you home."

Sheng Yao was flattered and surprised, "You're giving me a ride?"

Shen Boyan stared at her. "What's wrong? You don't want to? Then forget it, go back by yourself."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Sheng Yao realized what was happening and quickly grabbed him, "I didn't say I didn't want you to take me! You have to take me!"

Shen Boyan pursed his lips helplessly, "Let's go."

As the two came out of the restaurant, it started to drizzle.

When it rains in autumn, the temperature drops significantly.

As soon as Sheng Yao came out, she couldn't help but shiver.

"It's so cold."

Shen Boyan glanced at her, seemingly hesitating about something.

Sheng Yao went out without anyone accompanying her today, so the two of them had to take a taxi back.

Looking at the few cars on the road, Sheng Yao said, "There are so few cars this afternoon. Should I call my family?"

Shen Boyan didn't speak, and she thought he hadn't heard her. Just as she was about to turn her head to look at him, a coat suddenly appeared on her shoulder.

Sheng Yao suddenly froze.

Shen Boyan's aura surrounded her, and the warm feeling was like an electric current, spreading throughout her body.

Sheng Yao's heart pounded, and her cheeks turned red and hot at a visible speed.

Sheng Yao even felt a sense of helplessness.

She inwardly berated herself, thinking, "It's just a piece of clothing I'm giving you."

This is something any adult man with intelligence would do.

What's there to get excited about?

Sheng Yao, can't you have any backbone?

The taxi had stopped on the side of the road at some point, and Sheng Yao was still standing there stiffly.

Shen Boyan opened the car door, looked at the stunned Sheng Yan, and frowned. "Aren't you leaving?"

"Huh? Let's go, let's go." Sheng Yao quickly came to her senses, grabbed the clothes on her shoulders, and bent down to get into the car.

On the way back, the two of them barely spoke.

Shen Boyan was thinking about something, and Sheng Yao dared not say it.

She really wanted to thank Shen Boyan, but she should have said it before getting on the bus.

It feels inappropriate and strange to say this now, like making conversation out of nothing.

Shen Boyan's clothes seemed to have been enchanted by some kind of magic.

She was unusually quiet, not chattering away trying to find topics to talk about with Shen Boyan.

Just when Sheng Yao thought the two would remain silent forever, Shen Boyan, who hadn't said a word since getting into the car, suddenly spoke up.

"Thank you for today."

Sheng Yao tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth from turning up, and said to Shen Boyan very sensibly, "We are friends, and it is only right for friends to help each other."

Shen Boyan suddenly turned his head and glanced at her, his eyes dark and unfathomable.

"Is that really what you think?"

His gaze was too direct, and Sheng Yao couldn't keep up the act for more than two seconds. "Fine, I've never considered you a friend."

She always wanted him to be her boyfriend.

Sheng Yao was too embarrassed to say the rest.

Since she couldn't keep up the pretense in front of Shen Boyan, she simply asked, "How are you going to thank me?"

"Whatever, I'll consider this a favor I owe you. You can say whatever you want."

"Then I..."

"Apart from the fact that I should be your boyfriend."

Sheng Yao was immediately speechless, her shoulders slumped, "You're cheating!"

“I didn’t,” Shen Boyan said calmly. “Since you didn’t think of it, then forget it.”

"No way! You already said you owe me a favor, how can you just let it go!"

Sheng Yao thought for a moment and said, "Eating out and shopping are too boring and not very thoughtful. I don't have any other good ideas for the time being. I'll tell you when I've thought of something, okay?"

Shen Boyan was too lazy to ask her what she was planning to do, since she always did things that were beyond anyone's expectations.

He looked at the scenery rushing past outside and said, "Whatever."

The rain had stopped outside. Sheng Yao got out of the car and waved to Shen Boyan, "Goodbye, Shen Boyan! Get some rest when you get back!"

Shen Boyan nodded to her, then said to the driver, "Let's go, driver."

Sheng Yao watched the taxi until it disappeared from sight before she finally turned around and went inside.

It was still early, and the Sheng family members were all still awake, sitting in the living room watching TV.

Sheng Yao originally intended to greet them casually after entering the room.

As soon as she entered the door, Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng, and even the old man all turned to look at her.

Sheng Yao immediately stood still, not daring to move forward.

"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, you're still awake?"

Grandpa Sheng asked, "Where did you go?"

Sheng Yao's eyes darted around guiltily. "Didn't I tell you? I went out to play with my classmates."

"Your classmate's name is Shen Boyan?" Old Master Sheng's gaze was fixed on the clothes on her shoulders.

Sheng Yao gasped sharply, her mind filled with thoughts of Shen Boyan.

I forgot to return his coat, and I also forgot to take it off my clothes.

But Sheng Yao still tried to argue, "Grandpa, what are you saying? You've met my classmate before, haven't you? She even came to our house to play. Her surname is clearly Li, not Chen..."

"You're still lying!" Old Master Sheng slammed his hand on the table, and Sheng Yao immediately shrank back.

Oh no, the old man is angry.

His mother quickly tried to calm him down, "Dad, please speak slowly and don't get agitated."

Madam Sheng turned to look at Sheng Yao and scolded, "Yao Yao, you are not allowed to lie to your grandfather. Come over and explain to him what really happened."
