Chapter 70 Encountering the Chen Family Couple
Around 5:40 p.m., Lin Shutang received a message from Li Yansheng: "I have a meeting. I'll pick you up in about two hours."
Looking at the brief sentence on the screen, Lin Shutang could imagine what the scene might have been like when Li Yansheng typed this sentence on the other side of the screen. Probably like most of the time, operating with one hand.
Before meeting Li Yansheng, Lin Shutang had never seen anyone type a complete sentence with one hand. Typing with only their right hand, most people can only focus on the right half of the keyboard. Z is already their limit, and it's common to always be unable to reach Q and A.
Lin Shutang: [Okay.]
At around 7:30, the black Maybach pulled up at the gate of Peking University. Through the glass, Li Yansheng noticed the silhouette of a girl, standing under a streetlight beside a flower bed, scratching at a tree trunk while talking on the phone.
She wore a thin, half-sleeved top, paired with a pink hat, and a large backpack that accentuated her waist. Perhaps because of her fair skin, she looked younger than her peers, less like a graduate student and more like a high school student at the entrance of a middle school. Boys from the same school, passing by on their way back from school, inevitably glanced over.
Hearing the horn, Lin Shutang turned around and saw the car in front of him. Without even checking the license plate, he instinctively thought it was Li Yansheng's. As he walked closer, he saw the driver's window lowered. It was Fan Sizhuo.
"Ms. Lin." Fan Sizhu greeted her while unlocking the car.
Then, the rear door was opened from the inside.
Lin Shutang was surprised to see the person in the car. She had thought that since he had said he was busy with work, his assistant would pick him up, but she hadn't expected Li Yansheng to be there too.
On the way back, Lin Shutang saw the Chen family's car from a distance. She put on her headphones and tilted her head to pretend to look at the scenery outside the window.
"Want to go out?"
The front and rear windows were lowered, Chen Jinyao was driving, and Mrs. Chen and the children were sitting in the back.
Chen Jinyao: "The old man is clamoring to be discharged from the hospital. Let's go and take a look."
Chen Runling held onto the half-lowered car window with her hands, her little head about to stick out: "Uncle, when are you coming back to Hong Kong City? Don't forget the gift you said you would buy for Xiaoling last time!"
Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Child, who would actively ask for gifts? Your cousin will laugh at you!"
"Humph, my cousin isn't that stingy." The little girl snorted softly, her expression coquettish. Then she blinked rapidly at Li Yansheng, "Right, uncle?"
Li Yansheng had a gentle smile on his face: "Well. No!"
During the conversation, Lin Shutang didn't turn around at all. However, there was no sound in her headphones. After a few seconds, she heard the car next to her start up, and then she turned around.
Seeing her sitting up straight, Li Yansheng raised his hand, gently stroked the skin on the back of her neck with his fingertips and asked, "Don't you want them to know?"
Her tone was neither hurried nor slow, and she couldn't hear much emotion. But after spending a few times with Li Yansheng, Lin Shutang had an inexplicable feeling that when he asked this question, he didn't necessarily need her to explain it clearly right away, but just wanted an answer that showed her attitude.
Lin Shutang: "No, I just don't know how to face them."
With such a casual explanation, Li Yansheng did not ask any further questions.
The scenery outside the car window was rapidly receding, getting closer and closer to the Deer Park, and Lin Shutang's heartbeat gradually became faster.
The beginning of her relationship with Li Yansheng was a mutually beneficial transaction. Just because nothing happened when they slept in the same bed last night, that didn't mean it would be the same today.
The last time, it was because of the Feng family’s relentless pressure and emotional manipulation that he was able to take the initiative to do such a thing without hesitation.
But now that the emotions have subsided and she is sober, Lin Shutang doesn't know if she can still face him naked with ease.
The feeling she had had the last time he came in seemed still fresh in her mind. She hadn't felt the ecstasy described in romance novels, the feeling of being in heaven, and when she thought about it, all she could clearly remember was the bloating and pain.
