Chapter 149 They should be like this, shouldn't they?
Inside the departing car.
Xu Yang turned to the girl in the back row and asked, "Was that rich guy chasing you just now?"
Like a slow response, it took a while before she replied, "No."
He said "Oh," and then added, "That means I'm clinging to you."
Lin Zaoyi: "...No."
Xu Yang pressed for an answer, "Then what is it?"
She only uttered one word: "No."
"Fine, don't tell me then."
In another car not far away, Assistant Shao glanced at his boss in the rearview mirror more than once. His expression was indifferent, but he knew that his heart was bleeding.
After finally waiting for the person to return, there was an unknown species by his side. What if this is Miss Lin's suitor? Then President Tan is one step further away from the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The car came to a stop in Green County. A short while later, Assistant Shao saw Miss Lin get out of the car in front of him. He held his breath, afraid that the owner of the car in front would get out as well.
When I saw my great-aunt walk into the apartment alone, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Thank goodness.
"Boss, Miss Lin has come upstairs."
Finally, she added, "She went alone; none of her colleagues went with her."
His response was a flat, emotionless four-word statement: "I have eyes."
Assistant Shao: "..."
He couldn't help but think to himself: What's with the arrogance? If you're so capable, why don't you coax Miss Lin back?
The chauffeur of the car parked in front noticed that the Cullinan behind him had been following the driver.
I must remind you, "Young man, do you recognize that car behind you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yang lowered the window and poked half his head out, then withdrew it two seconds later, saying, "I don't know him."
But I saw it, just half an hour ago.
So, is it pursuit or entanglement?
But Zaoyi said none of them were true.
Never mind, he's not her parent, why should she worry about this?
......
The following Tuesday, after completing her business research, Lin Zaoyi drove to a dessert shop, intending to buy some mousse cakes for her mother.
Just as the car came to a stop, the shop door was pushed open from the inside, and two men came out. One of them was quite familiar... so familiar that I still dream about him. The other man had his back to me, so I couldn't see him clearly.
The familiar one was holding a half-grown baby in his arms. Lin Zaoyi had never known that Tan Zhaojing could take care of a child like this. His posture was so skillful that he looked just like a biological father.
Caught off guard, the scene was like a sharp sword, piercing straight from her throat to her heart, leaving her in pain for a short while.
At this moment, she resented her mother, Tan Jiani, Tan You, and even Xixi for not telling her.
Are you afraid she can't handle it?
But who would have thought she would witness this scene?
Lin Zaoyi awkwardly shrank back into the car, forcing herself to calm down, but several attempts were in vain. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her mind was uncontrollably preoccupied with who Tan Zhaojing's other half was and what he looked like.
Lin Zaoyi, admit it, you're jealous, so jealous that you're almost unrecognizable!
A few meters away.
President Shen shielded his daughter from the sunlight, glancing at Tan Zhaojing and teasingly asked, "Where did you learn that posture? Or did you secretly have a baby?"
Tan Zhaojing glanced at him and said, "Instead of joking around, you should finish the business sooner. I'll be blunt from the start: I'll only give you half a day."
Mr. Shen wiped his daughter's face. "It's just half a day. Don't look disgusted. If it weren't for your pitiful situation of being all alone, I would never have entrusted my daughter to you."
This trip was rushed, and I didn't have time to bring a nanny. I thought my wife was filming in the suburbs and could handle it, but the project team changed the schedule at the last minute, so I had no choice but to leave my daughter with Tan Zhaojing.
I glanced at my watch; it was time to go.
"If my daughter loses even a single hair, I'll have my son cause a scene in your office."
Tan Zhaojing was too lazy to pay attention.
"Oh, and one more thing," President Shen opened the car door, tossed the dessert in his hand to his son sitting inside, and turned to instruct, "I've already prepared the milk. Just ask your secretary to heat it up later. Give her some water every half hour. My daughter is very well-behaved and usually doesn't cry. If she does cry, examine yourself and see if you were stern-faced."
One sentence, one daughter.
Tan Zhaojing was annoyed by what he was hearing, so he didn't waste any more words. "Why don't you take it with you?"
Mr. Shen laughed, "This isn't giving you a chance to be a stay-at-home dad."
The window rolled up, the car started, and soon it merged into the traffic.
The baby in her arms seemed to sense that its father had run away, and barked loudly.
Tan Zhaojing's head started to ache, a physiological one. He tried to calm her down by shaking her, but it didn't work; she continued to cry.
Is this what you call well-behaved?
The tram, which was less than five meters away, had calmed down a bit, but the agonizing pain was still there. So what? They should be like this, shouldn't they?
She wiped the moisture from her face with the back of her hand, and before driving away, she couldn't help but glance back in that direction. In those indifferent eyes, she saw gentleness and helplessness.
The child was still crying, and Tan Zhaojing was starting to feel overwhelmed. Assistant Shao, who was in the driver's seat, got out of the car upon hearing the commotion. Tan Zhaojing could only anxiously suggest, "Mr. Tan, why don't we go back to the company first? I remember there's a secretary in the secretarial office whose child is almost three years old. She should be able to handle it."
That's all we can do.
Just as the car was about to start, Assistant Shao caught a glimpse of pink out of the corner of his eye. It was so familiar that he subconsciously turned his head to scan the license plate, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.
"Mr. Tan, Miss Lin's car!"
As Tan Zhaojing spoke these words as a reminder, he noticed that Tan Zhaojing's gaze, fixed on the view outside the window, was gradually darkening.
Assistant Shao had no choice but to ask, "Mr. Tan, did Miss Lin just happen to be passing by, or did she see something... and suddenly leave?"
He was incredibly concerned about his boss's happiness, and continued to remind him, "For example, what if Miss Lin misunderstands that you are the child's father?"
After a two-second silence, the boss said in a deep voice, "Go to the front desk and ask Aunt Ming to help take care of the child. The secretary has work to do this afternoon."
His eyes lit up at such an unconvincing excuse.
He quickly agreed, "Okay!"
President Tan has finally stopped being arrogant.
I stepped on the gas and caught up with the little pink car in a moment. I didn't overtake it, but followed behind at a leisurely pace.
Twenty minutes later, the two cars drove into the parking lot one after the other.
Assistant Shao deliberately waited until his great-aunt found a parking spot before parking the car on the opposite side of the road, at almost the same speed.
He pretended it was a chance encounter, saying, "Miss Lin, what a coincidence."
Lin Zaoyi turned her head upon hearing the sound, and the next second, her breathing became uncontrollable and she paused. The emotions she had finally managed to suppress were suddenly stirred up because of him.
My eyes hurt, and my heart hurts too.
She clenched her fingers tightly to barely maintain her expression. "What a coincidence."
I didn't look at the man, or even the baby in his arms, for fear that jealousy would hurt the young child. I'll wait a few days... it'll be fine in a few days.
"Eeya eeya~"
The little dumpling uttered adorable baby talk, like a hook, drawing her to glance at it unconsciously.
The baby is very cute, about three months old, wearing a light blue onesie. Her little arms that are exposed look like round lotus roots, and her face is chubby. The most adorable thing is her eyes, which are round and black like purple grapes.
Such a beautiful baby, the mother must be gorgeous! In her terrible mood, she even noticed that the child didn't resemble Tan Zhaojing...
Calculating the timeline, he made a bold statement on his birthday last September, and there are still 19 days until it's been a year. From the whirlwind marriage to the birth of the child, the timeline may have been rushed, but it still makes sense.
She raised her eyelids slightly and looked at Assistant Shao. "Is there something you need at the front desk?"
Assistant Shao said, "I'd like to ask Ms. Ming to help look after the child."
Upon hearing this, she opened her mouth, "My mom—"
She swallowed the words "very busy" that were about to burst from her throat.
I can't say it; it would seem petty to tell others.
He nodded. "She should be in her office."
