Chapter 247 A Simple and Unpretentious Way

Then, not long after, a muffled "dong dong" sound was heard.

Lin Shutang was surprised. She thought Li Yansheng was going to ask the owner of the B&B to change their room. She didn't expect him to do it in such a simple and unpretentious way, just knocking on the door.

As he was thinking this, Lin Shutang heard a male voice coming from next door: "Who?"

He was obviously angry, and his tone was not very good. Lin Shutang suddenly felt a little worried about Li Yansheng, so he got out of bed and ran to the door barefoot.

When he put his hand on the handle and felt the cool touch, he remembered what Li Yansheng had just said, so he withdrew his hand, but still did not leave. He picked up the footstool at his feet and stood at the door to listen to the sound.

Li Yansheng leaned back against the railing, and then the door opened. It was Yao Qianqian who opened it.

Seeing that the person at the door was Li Yansheng, surprise flashed in her eyes. Then, she realized something and immediately lowered her head, as if she didn't want anyone to see her face.

"Who?" Just then, the voice from inside the room came again. She opened the door completely and stepped aside.

"So late at night... Mr. Li, why are you here? What a coincidence." The man's tone was originally bad, but when he saw that the person coming was Li Yansheng, his expression immediately changed.

"Boss Li, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Is Mr. Zhao in a good mood?" Li Yansheng said in a calm tone.

"Hmm..." Mr. Zhao had originally thought that Li Yansheng had a slightly different habit like him, but then he saw Li Yansheng's seemingly indifferent, yet in fact unfathomable expression, and realized something. He immediately changed his tone and apologized repeatedly: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Li, I didn't know you lived next door. I'm so sorry."

Li Yansheng's expression was calm, and he didn't seem very angry. However, Mr. Zhao still nodded and apologized before sending the man away.

The next morning, when the alarm clock rang, it was a little after five. Lin Shutang had some difficulty getting up, and Li Yansheng wiped her with a washcloth before she finally woke up.

But after waking up, he lay in bed for two minutes before getting out.

On the way out, she ran into Yao Qianqian. Lin Shutang turned around when she heard the man's voice from last night and saw her arm around him. The man was quite old, with a bit of gray in his hair, and looked like he could be her father.

Yao Qianqian made brief eye contact with Lin Shutang, but in less than five seconds, she lowered her head and pulled the scarf on her face tighter.

Her movements were not slow, but Lin Shutang still saw a small bruise. No wonder Li Yansheng had such an expression last night when he found out that she lived next door.

"What are you looking at?" Li Yansheng saw that Lin Shutang had not caught up yet, so he turned around to look for her and saw her standing there, seemingly looking at something.

Lin Shutang turned around: "Nothing."

Neither of them noticed that when Li Yansheng asked Lin Shutang if the bag was heavy, Yao Qianqian behind them had hatred in her eyes.

She hated why Lin Shutang could make someone like Li Yansheng treat her so well, while she could only be with someone like Mr. Zhao.

"What are you doing so hard?"

It wasn't until Mr. Zhao's slightly displeased voice came that Yao Qianqian realized what she had just done. She let go of Mr. Zhao's hand in fear and looked at his clothes.

Mr. Zhao glared at her and straightened his coat, which was slightly wrinkled from her gripping it too tightly. His face was creased, but out of consideration for the person in front of him, he didn't say anything harsh. He simply said, "I'm going back. Will you come with me or stay behind?"

He said he was going to climb a mountain, but before he even started climbing, Mr. Zhao said he was leaving. He didn't really like Yao Qianqian that much, but since she was offered to him, he accepted her.

So, when he asked this question, he did it casually without explaining why. He subconsciously felt that he didn't need to take such a woman too seriously.

Yao Qianqian rolled her half-lidded eyes, then raised them and said innocently, "Ah! We agreed to watch the sunrise together. They say that those who watch the sunrise together will be happy forever!"

Mr. Zhao looked at Yao Qianqian's regretful expression and scoffed at her words. Only young girls would believe such lies. However, the fact that a beautiful young woman wanted to spend the rest of her life with him was something that pleased Mr. Zhao.

He took out a card from his bag and handed it to Yao Qianqian, then kissed her on the cheek: "The password is six eights. Let's get together again next time if there's a chance."

"All right."

After Mr. Zhao left, Yao Qianqian's eyes lost all their gentle care and tenderness. Instead, they were filled with disdain. She tucked the card into her purse and carefully removed the scarf from her face. The old man had pressed against her injured area when he kissed her.
