Yan Zhi subconsciously looked towards the driver's seat, and sure enough, what came into view was Leng Linli's incomparably handsome profile.
"Grandma..." Yan Zhi looked at Grandma Leng uncertainly, as if asking, "Weren't you and I having dinner? Why is he in the car too?"
Grandma Leng smiled kindly at Yan Zhi: "...We need a driver."
Yan Zhi instantly understood.
Leng Linli slightly raised his eyes, casually glanced at the rearview mirror, and said to the person in the back seat, "Hold on tight."
It was just a very ordinary instruction, and it wasn't meant for Yan Zhi, but Leng Linli's gaze was so gentle that Yan Zhi was somewhat dazed, as if he were saying to her, "Mrs. Leng, hold on tight, I'm about to drive off."
Yan Zhi sat up straight and didn't say anything more.
As for Leng Linli's earlier mention of taking responsibility, Yan Zhi smiled faintly. Some things are not something he can take responsibility for just because he wants to.
For example, with Bai Lian still around, can Leng Linli truly take responsibility for Yan Zhi?
For example, is Yan Zhi still willing to let Leng Linli take charge of her life?
Seeing Yan Zhi's gentle appearance, Leng Linli smiled slightly and drove away steadily.
"How's the food at this little restaurant? I don't know if it suits your taste," Grandma asked expectantly.
"No wonder Grandma chose this restaurant, it's amazing!" Yan Zhi gave a thumbs up, her emotional appeal at its peak.
Grandma Leng smiled kindly and said, "If you like it, eat more."
"Okay." Yan Zhi smiled, her eyes crinkling.
Leng Linli would occasionally put food into Yan Zhi's bowl, while Grandma Gu watched her grandson and granddaughter-in-law interact with great joy, in a very good mood.
Leng Linli picked up another piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it into the soup spoon. He poked around with the chopsticks, picked out two thin bones, and then put the fish in Yan Zhi's bowl.
Yan Zhi ate the fish silently, without uttering a sound.
You really love eating fish!
Leng Linli watched Yan Zhi eating with great relish, his eyes lightly closed, his gaze deep, a half-smile playing on his lips, his lazy voice carrying a gentle warmth: "Is that enough?"
Yan Zhi paused, slightly raised her head, and gave a professional, fake smile: "That's enough."
No, that's more than enough.
Because her grandmother was present, Yan Zhi couldn't directly refuse Leng Linli's kindness.
Leng Linli smiled and continued to add food to Yan Zhi's bowl: "Eat more if you like it."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Leng, but I'm already stuffed." Yan Zhi finally couldn't smile anymore. She hurriedly protected her bowl, afraid that Leng Linli would put more food into it.
Yan Zhi was really stuffed.
This is all thanks to Leng Linli.
Half of the dishes on the table were eaten by Yan Zhi; how could she not be stuffed...?
The care and concern shown by Leng Linli, well, made Yan Zhi feel... pressured. Sometimes, Yan Zhi really didn't know how to face him.
"Didn't you say it was delicious?" Leng Linli raised an eyebrow slightly, but his eyes were full of smiles and tenderness.
Yan Zhi put down her chopsticks and said in one breath, "It's delicious, but even if it's delicious, you can't eat it like this! I wonder if President Leng has ever heard of the idiom 'a slow and steady wins the race'? Can't I come back to eat here again next time? Do I have to eat it all at once and be sick of it?"
Was her statement a subtle invitation for him to come here for dinner again next time?
He looked at Yan Zhi with a cold, sharp smile, put down his spoon, picked up a napkin, and elegantly wiped his fingers, displaying an air of nobility.
Leng Linli put down the napkin, gently patted Yan Zhi's head with his warm hand, and his tenderness was evident in his eyes: "Okay, I'll bring you here again next time."
Should I bring her here again to feed the pigs? With Leng Linli's feeding method, Yan Zhi wouldn't even need to feed her for a year before she'd be sharpening her knife and ready to strike.
Yan Zhi put on a professional fake smile again: "Heh... I thank you."
Leng Linli looked at Yan Zhi's moist eyes and felt happy. It seemed that she was really moved, so much so that her eyes were a little red.
The corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.
“If you really want to thank me, why don’t you…” Leng Linli paused halfway through his sentence.
Yan Zhi was unaware of what Leng Linli was thinking. His gaze gradually became ambiguous, and there was a hint of barely perceptible smugness on his lips.
Looking at Leng Linli's expression, Yan Zhi instantly understood what Leng Linli had omitted—it must be yellow waste material again!
"Cold and ruthless!" Yan Zhi was sometimes speechless. Her grandmother was still here, how dare he be so brazen and blatant!
"Um......"
Gu Linli was always accommodating, speaking gently, but his gaze toward Yan Zhi became even more unrestrained, his undisguised possessiveness as if he wanted to strip her naked on the spot.
Grandma Leng rarely saw Yan Zhi in such a shy and charming state, and she couldn't suppress her smile. She covered her old face and said with a smile, "Grandma is too old, Grandma can't understand anything."
Yan Zhi: "......"
After teasing Yan Zhi enough, Leng Linli slowly smiled and said, "Mrs. Leng, what I want to say is, if you want to thank me, why not call me 'husband' a few more times instead of just calling me 'President Leng'? My Mrs. Leng, what were you thinking just now?"
She doesn't believe it!
Leng Linli's expression at that time was not that simple!
With her grandmother around, Yan Zhi couldn't expose Leng Linli, so she let Leng Linli gain the upper hand verbally.
"Hehe..." Yan Zhi gave two soft, gentle laughs, but those laughs were as fake as could be.
Yan Zhi's face looked delicate and soft, but her grandmother laughed even harder, taking it as the young couple's flirtatious banter. "You two talk, just pretend I'm not here."
Yan Zhi: "......"
Yan Zhi was in a bind; how was she supposed to explain this to the old man?
"Wen Fei?"
