His eyes seemed to have exchanged countless times with Lin Qingtong, revealing a terrifyingly surging desire.
Lin Qingtong was shocked by his words. She had only lost her mind for a moment before, which was why she had done something she shouldn't have done with Shen Tinghe. Now that she was sober, how could she possibly do it again?
She reached out to stop Shen Tinghe from getting closer, her brows furrowing as she said, "Don't worry, I'll call a designated driver, they can definitely take you back."
Shen Tinghe smiled playfully and approached, grabbing her slender hand.
"No need."
Lin Qingtong's heart skipped a beat with fear. Could Shen Tinghe really have kept her here?
Just as she was feeling scared, a cautious voice came from the doorway of the private room.
"Sir, I'm here to drive you."
It's Qi Song's voice.
Lin Qingtong then came to her senses. It turned out that Shen Tinghe had already called Qi Song. He chuckled, his eyes sparkling, and leaned down slightly to kiss Lin Qingtong's lips.
"You're so cute."
In Lin Qingtong's eyes, calling her cute was tantamount to calling her stupid.
She suddenly frowned, her eyes fixed on Shen Tinghe, filled with displeasure.
Seeing this, Shen Tinghe's smile grew even more radiant, and even a hint of doting affection appeared between his brows.
"Okay, it's my fault. You're not cute, you're smart and kind, okay?"
Lin Qingtong's displeasure dissipated, replaced by a strange sense of joy. Shen Tinghe was quite perceptive.
Once she was in the car on her way back, Lin Qingtong reached into her pocket and realized that her phone had fallen into the water.
Shen Tinghe noticed Lin Qingtong's movements and asked in a teasing tone, "What, did you rush out and forget your phone?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong didn't really want to pay attention to Shen Tinghe, and simply turned her head to look out the window.
"It's after get off work hours now, this is none of your business."
Shen Tinghe grabbed Lin Qingtong's slender wrist, his eyes cold and gloomy.
"Lin Qingtong, don't forget your identity. You are my personal assistant who is always at my beck and call."
"If you don't cooperate, then wait for me to withdraw my investment in Jianghao Company."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong stared quietly at Shen Tinghe, then suddenly burst out laughing.
"It's alright, I'd be happy for you to withdraw your investment."
Shen Tinghe frowned slightly, not understanding what tricks Lin Qingtong was up to again. He simply shook off her hand and coldly gave instructions to the driver.
"Take me home first."
Finally, the car stopped outside a villa. Shen Tinghe got out of the car, his whole body shrouded in a gloomy aura. As he passed Qi Song, he spoke in a low voice.
"Take her home."
After leaving those words behind, Shen Tinghe strode back to the villa.
Lin Qingtong saw that Qi Song had already gotten out of the car and was prepared to call a designated driver herself, but Qi Song got back into the car with a gentle and warm smile.
"Miss Lin, I'll take you home."
He didn't say that Shen Tinghe had given the order; he simply drove quietly.
It was already 11 p.m. when they returned to the Jiang family home.
Lin Qingtong was surprised to find that Qi Huimin was still awake, sitting on the sofa eating tonics from the coffee table while watching the large television screen.
When she saw Lin Qingtong return, she said proudly, "Sister, look, Hao-ge bought me so many supplements that I can't even finish them all. Why don't you eat some too? Don't be out all day, your complexion is all yellow."
Originally, Lin Qingtong didn't want to pay any attention to Qi Huimin, but since Qi Huimin took the initiative to provoke her, she didn't need to hold back.
"I don't have a younger sister who is older than me. Besides, I can buy whatever I want to eat myself."
Lin Qingtong glanced at the top-grade bird's nest and various tonics on the table, including ginseng and saffron, all of which were valuable medicinal materials.
She wondered, had Jiang Hao made money recently? But it was a bit strange, because pregnant women shouldn't eat saffron.
But Lin Qingtong didn't pay any attention and went straight back to her room.
As soon as Lin Qingtong returned to her room, she took out her spare phone, changed the SIM card, and a series of text messages and phone calls popped up.
My mother, Su Wanjun, actually called me more than a dozen times.
At that moment, Lin Qingtong's heart skipped a beat, thinking something had happened, and she hurriedly dialed the number back.
As soon as the call connected, Su Wanjun's hoarse voice came through, clearly indicating that she had just been crying.
"Tongtong, what are you doing?"
Lin Qingtong sensed something was wrong and frowned slightly as she asked, "What happened? Did Lin Jiaorui and the others bully you?"
She was about to leave, intending to go to the Lin family to stand up for her mother.
Then I heard Su Wanjun's aggrieved and choked voice.
"Tongtong, did I offend you in some way...?"
She started crying again as she spoke.
Su Wanjun has this kind of personality; she is always sensitive and sentimental, especially at night.
Lin Qingtong felt a slight pain in her forehead, reached out to support it, and asked in as gentle a voice as possible.
"Mom, don't misunderstand. Tell me what's wrong, and I can explain."
Su Wanjun then told the whole story.
"Then why did you accept the tonics I sent you this afternoon, instead of scolding me for being stingy, petty, and ungrateful, saying I'm unfit to be your mother..."
As she spoke, her voice choked up again.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong was completely bewildered. She hadn't been home at all that afternoon, so how could she have said such things?
Wait a minute, Qi Huimin was at home all day, and there were all those tonics.
"Mom, did you send Tianren brand ginseng and saffron, as well as a few boxes of bird's nest?"
Upon hearing Lin Qingtong's words, Su Wanjun choked back tears and nodded, replying, "Yes, you received these, right? I truly am unworthy to be your mother. If you mind this in the future, then we won't..."
