After pushing Yu Sheng down from basement level, Shang Yan headed towards his European-style car.
In the empty, enclosed parking lot, his steady footsteps were exceptionally clear in the murky air. Each step seemed to pound on Yu Sheng's heart, making her very nervous.
Actually, she never understood why she was so afraid of Shang Yan.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't be afraid of him!
As Yu Sheng pondered this question, she heard the sound of a car door opening.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Shang Yan's assistant, Gao Ming, getting out of the driver's seat.
Gao Ming was taken aback when he saw Yu Sheng and Shang Yan together before respectfully opening the back door of the car.
After Yu Sheng was pushed by Shang Yan, she saw him raise his hands as if to hug her, which startled her so much that she jumped off her wheelchair and jumped into the car.
Watching Yu Sheng's rabbit-like agility, Shang Yan chuckled and followed her into the car.
Gao Ming closed the car door, put the wheelchair into the trunk, and got into the driver's seat.
As soon as I sat down, I heard Shang Yan say, "Let's go to Country Garden."
The villa community where the business is located is called Country Garden.
Upon hearing this, Gao Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "President Shang, you and Elder Zhong have an appointment for a medicinal application at eight o'clock. If you go to Country Garden, you will be late for Elder Zhong's appointment."
Before Shang Yan could reply to Gao Ming, Yu Sheng asked, "Are you injured?"
Looking into her worried eyes, Shang Yan hesitated for a moment: "Muscle strain!"
Upon hearing Shang Yan's words, Yu Sheng's mind involuntarily flashed back to the scene from not long ago in the abandoned factory, where he lay on the dusty ground, tightly gripping the back of a chair...
No need to ask, it must have been a muscle strain from that time!
He immediately said to Gao Ming, "Let's go to Elder Zhong's place first."
Gao Ming didn't reply to Yu Sheng, but looked at Shang Yan.
Seeing that Shang Yan nodded, he started the car and drove towards Elder Zhong's Zhong Medical Hall.
After the cars filed into the bustling traffic, Yu Sheng stole a glance at Shang Yan and whispered, "You were injured, why didn't you tell me?"
"You didn't even ask," Shang Yan said with a faint smile, teasingly. "Not only did you not ask, you didn't even say thank you..."
This clearly indicates that she is ungrateful.
Although she didn't, she looked quite embarrassed.
She didn't ask or say thank you!
Yu Sheng didn't explain anything, just pursed her lips and handed him the shopping bag.
Shang Yan glanced at it and raised an eyebrow: "What?"
"This is a gift to thank you for saving me twice!"
Shang Yan took it, opened it, and saw that it was a fountain pen. While playing with it in his hand, he teased, "Could it be that you bought this for Gu Ye, and then just grabbed it to shut me up after I said that?"
Upon hearing his words, Yu Sheng didn't explain, but reached out to snatch the pen. Shang Yan immediately held the pen high, glaring at her: "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you say that was a gift I gave to Gu Ye? Then give it back to me!"
After Yu Sheng finished speaking angrily, she knelt on one knee on the chair and reached for the pen in Shang Yan's hand.
The car suddenly braked hard as soon as my hand touched the cold metal texture of the pen.
She fell backward, her heart pounding in her chest, and cried out in alarm when a strong hand caught her back.
Before her heart could even settle, she was thrown headfirst into Shang Yan's arms, half her face pressed against his neck.
His burning skin temperature and the cool cedar scent mixed with alcohol not only stimulated her sense of touch and smell, but also her nerves.
Her heart was beating very fast.
Aside from that, it's just awkward!
She didn't dare look at him, her head lowered, her hands pressing against his body as she tried to get off him, but she noticed a red stain on his snow-white shirt collar.
She recognized it immediately; it was her lipstick shade.
This made Yu Sheng, who was already in an awkward situation, want to disappear on the spot!
This unexpected incident made Yu Sheng lose all interest in thinking about the fountain pen.
She sat back down, looked out the window, and struggled with whether or not to tell him about the lipstick on her shirt.
It wasn't that she was afraid he would make her pay for his shirt; it was just that she found it really difficult to bring it up.
She hesitated the whole way, and only when the car was almost at Zhongyitang did she awkwardly say, "I smeared my lipstick on your shirt. Do you have a spare one in your car? If so, please change it so that people won't misunderstand."
Upon hearing this, Shang Yan, who was working on his phone, glanced at his collar, didn't see it, and asked, "Where?"
Yu Sheng rummaged through her bag and pulled out a small mirror, handing it to him while pointing to the spot where the lipstick had stained: "There!"
Shang Yan took the small mirror, and his cool and noble half-face and the collar of his white shirt stained with pink lipstick appeared in the mirror.
He stared at the red stain on the white shirt for a while, then looked at Yu Sheng, who looked like she had done something wrong: "Did you do it on purpose?"
Upon hearing Shang Yan's words, Yu Sheng became anxious: "It wasn't intentional, I accidentally brushed against it."
"real?"
"Of course it's true! Otherwise, why would I deliberately rub against it?"
Shang Yan looked again at the red stain on the white shirt reflected in his glasses and said, "Help your brother prove that he's not averse to women! No... No way!"
"..."
The last two words were spoken by Shang Yan in a very ambiguous way, and he said them while looking at Yu Sheng.
When Yu Shengzi met his flirtatious eyes, which held a hint of playfulness and frivolity, she quickly looked away!
If they were siblings, she could respond to him in a joking tone.
But since they are only siblings in name only, they have to be very careful about what they say.
Regardless of whether Shang Yan is truly averse to women, or whether he is truly incapable of such behavior?
Her status made it inappropriate for her to continue discussing this topic with him.
Yu Sheng didn't reply, but smiled politely and turned to look out the window.
As night falls, the city becomes dazzling and enchanting under the neon lights.
Skyscrapers stand tall, traffic flows like a river, and crowds throng the streets.
