Chapter 13 Is it just for money?
Bai Yujin used to be in England and was used to seeing men together. She didn't have any particular thoughts about it and could accept it. After all, she wouldn't think so much about it unless it happened to her.
After all, in his own opinion, he considers himself a straight man.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Shen Jin through the mirror. The more he looked, the more he felt that this person was really good-looking and had a very spiritual feeling, especially when he smiled, he was very cute.
The word "cute" made Bai Yujin's face flush. He felt that he must have been drinking fake alcohol tonight, and what was he thinking about?
To divert attention, he asked, feigning nonchalance, "Do you live alone? Is anyone else at home?"
After asking the questions, he felt like he was being interrogated, and a strange feeling crept into his mind. He could only secretly glance at Shen Jin through the mirror, hoping that Shen Jin wouldn't overthink it.
However, Shen Jin was much calmer and didn't think much of it. His clear eyes were fixed straight ahead, and he said in a very soft voice, "I am an orphan. I only have my younger sister, but she is in poor health and is in the hospital. I live alone now."
For him, this wasn't something he couldn't talk about. Besides, his family already knew some of these things, and now that he was curious and asking, he had no reason to hide anything.
I'm feeling a bit down, and I'm thinking about my sister again. I don't know when I'll feel better.
"Oh..." Bai Yujin responded softly, thinking to himself that this was still a poor little thing who had been abandoned.
Ultimately, the two had only met twice and weren't familiar with each other. Sitting in the same car, they didn't have much to talk about and mostly remained silent. Shen Jin wasn't the type to seek out topics and was naturally quite quiet.
Bai Yujin was a little puzzled. He was someone who usually liked to joke around and banter with the people around him, so he was never too boring when he was with others.
But now, sitting in the same car as Chen Jin, it was deathly silent.
That's so strange.
"Ahem." Bai Yujin was somewhat doubtful of his own charm, so he could only cough to make his presence known.
The sports car weaves through the bustling streets, surrounded by red lights and greenery. With the windows open, you can hear the noise of music and other cars outside.
Shen Jin was staring blankly outside at the moment, so he didn't notice Bai Yujin's unnatural behavior while driving.
Bai Yujin: "..."
I'm so annoyed.
The car suddenly stopped in front of a shop, and Shen Jin couldn't help but turn around and look at him.
"I'm going downstairs to buy something. I haven't eaten much today, and I'm a little hungry and thirsty." Bai Yujin unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car, then glanced at him again. "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
Shen Jin was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "It's okay, I've already eaten, don't worry about me."
He just wanted to get back as soon as possible. Perhaps being poor had become a habit, and now sitting in a luxury car made him feel uncomfortable, as if he didn't belong there.
On the surface, he appeared calm, but in reality, he was restless.
Bai Yujin didn't say anything more, and went straight into the store, ordered two drinks, and some cakes, hamburgers and other food items.
When he went to pay the bill, he saw an acquaintance—Yan Yu, the president of the Yan Group.
They were all business people; even if their relationship wasn't particularly close, they had at least some superficial acquaintance and had collaborated on quite a few projects. Therefore, he greeted them with a smile from behind, "Isn't this President Yan? It's truly a rare treat."
Yan Yu had no appetite today and couldn't eat the food his family's chef had prepared. So after working for a while, he passed by here on his way home from get off work and decided to come in and buy something to eat. He never expected to run into Bai Yujin, who had just returned to the country.
"It's an honor to meet Young Master Bai here." Yan Yu greeted him with a smile. Although Bai Yujin is now the CEO who has inherited the family business, many people still habitually call him Young Master Bai.
After Yan Yu finished speaking, he glanced at the food Bai Shao had ordered and smiled politely, "What, Young Master Bai came here to buy food?"
“President Yan is no different.” Bai Yujin glanced at his food.
"That's true." Yan Yu smiled. He was inexplicably feeling down today, so he didn't linger. "I'll be going now. Let's grab a drink sometime."
Bai Yujin smiled and nodded, then began to pay the bill.
The moment Yan Yu turned to leave with his things, his smile vanished, replaced by a calm expression. He didn't know what was wrong with him; nothing unpleasant had happened that day, yet he felt strangely irritated.
The image of Shen Jin's youthful and handsome face, and his alluring appearance beneath her, would occasionally float into her mind...
I don't know why, but it's as if I'm bewitched.
He walked out with his food, looking preoccupied. Just as he was about to get into his car, he turned around and saw Shen Jin sitting in the luxury car—
Yan Yu paused, stunned for a moment, thinking he was hallucinating. How could he have seen him the moment he turned around, just as the image of him appeared in his mind?
A subtle, lonely smile played at the corners of his lips, unnoticed even by himself. Then, instinctively, he lifted his foot, intending to walk towards him, but froze in place.
Bai Yujin, who had just finished shopping at the grocery store, returned to his car, opened the door, and handed him a drink with a smile: "Here you go, it's pretty good, I promise you."
Shen Jin was stunned for a moment, not expecting that he would still buy it even though he had just said he didn't need it. He didn't know whether to take it or not, but in the end, he took it as if by some strange impulse, since he had already bought it.
"There's still food here. Help yourself if you want some. I can't possibly eat it all anyway." Bai Yujin smiled as he glanced at the food in the car, then stepped on the gas and sped away.
Yan Yu's attempt to take a step forward froze in place. After a long while, he gave a self-deprecating smile, as if he had understood something.
Bai Yujin wasn't the type to philander; he was always well-behaved. So why was Shen Jin sitting in his car late at night? Could it be... a lover?
Or perhaps it was just like last night... a purely physical relationship involving sex?
Is it just for the money?
Yan Yu chuckled, shook his head, and watched the car drive away. He couldn't help but sigh, "I never thought I could so easily misjudge someone."
Is it because he performed too well, or because he was too arrogant?
Yan Yu returned to his car, instinctively slammed his fist into the driver's seat, sat down, gritted his teeth, and couldn't figure out what he was angry about.
He narrowed his eyes, staring in the direction the two had left. He didn't know what he was thinking, but suddenly he followed them...
