The two people opposite her ate their meal sweetly, but Gu Baiwei was distracted.
After the meal, Ye Sinian went to pay the bill. Gu Baiwei helped Xia Shihan walk slowly out. When they passed that spot, she subconsciously looked over, only to find that the strange man from before had disappeared without a trace.
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, secretly lamenting that she had overthought things.
Ye Sinian still had work to do in the afternoon, and after giving several instructions, he hurriedly returned to the company.
Gu Baiwei couldn't help but chuckle when she saw him take a few steps and then turn back to look at Xia Shihan again, seemingly worried.
She had worried that this brat would end up alone because of his low emotional intelligence, but now it seems she was overthinking it.
It turns out that the silly son didn't have low emotional intelligence; he just had low emotional intelligence in front of people he didn't like.
She drove Xia Shih-han home, chatted with her for a while, and then drove back home.
Ye Chuyue is currently a senior in high school, busy preparing for the college entrance examination. She lives at school and rarely goes home except on weekends.
After Ye Sinian got married, he and Xia Shih-han moved to a new house, and he rarely came back.
Now only Liu Ma and she are left at home, "relying on each other for survival".
Aunt Liu often lamented that she wasn't used to the house being so quiet.
As she gets older, she loves to reminisce about the past, and she'll often drag her along to tell stories of those glorious years, making Liu Ma feel annoyed whenever she sees her.
Thinking that there was still plenty of time and in order to have some peace and quiet, she turned around and went to the supermarket to buy a bunch of food to send to Ye Chuyue.
After a few weeks apart, the little girl had lost weight, and the baby fat on her face was no longer obvious. However, the dark circles under her big eyes seemed to have gotten worse, which made Gu Baiwei feel a little sorry for her.
"Auntie, I've missed you so much."
Upon seeing her approach, Ye Chuyue immediately grabbed Li Nanxing and pounced on her, heading straight for the shopping bag next to her. She rummaged through it for a couple of seconds and pulled out two sausages. She tore one open herself and stuffed the other into Li Nanxing's hands, saying, "Eat quickly, we have to go to evening self-study soon."
Gu Baiwei watched the two of them wolf down their sausages and bread, and for a moment she was both amused and exasperated: "Anyone who didn't know better would think you two had just fled a famine."
Ye Chuyue opened her juice bottle and took a big gulp: "Don't even mention it, the cafeteria aunties' cooking is terribly bad. As soon as it's mealtime, all the students flock to the convenience store to buy food, making it so crowded that you can't even squeeze in."
She had barely uttered a couple of complaints when the prominent school bell rang.
"Auntie, we're leaving now. Thank you for the things."
Ye Chuyue and Li Nanxing hurriedly said goodbye to her, each carrying a bag of things, and rushed into the classroom as the school bell rang.
Gu Baiwei watched their figures disappear through the door before turning her gaze away.
She had actually come here hoping to subtly inquire about Ye Chuyue's progress with Song Anze, fearing that their relationship might affect her studies. Now it seems she doesn't need to worry.
In some ways, she even had to thank Song Anze; if it weren't for him, the girl wouldn't have worked so hard to get into medical school.
Well, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. She married Ye Yunting against her parents' wishes, and she didn't want to interfere too much in Ye Chuyue's affairs, as long as it didn't affect her studies.
As soon as I arrived at my doorstep, I saw a black Maybach with a very eye-catching license plate parked on the side of the road.
As the sun sets, its warm yellow afterglow shines on the sleek body of the car, adding a touch of warmth to its otherwise cool and austere color scheme.
The tall, long-legged man was bathed in the setting sun, leaning casually against the car door. His well-defined fingers held a cigarette, occasionally flicking off the ash. Even the act of flicking the ash was very elegant.
Slender wisps of smoke rose, and the sharply defined profile was shrouded in warm light and smoke, adding a touch of hazy beauty.
Gu Baiwei pulled the car over to the side of the road, opened the door and walked over: "Yan Qing, what are you doing here?"
Upon seeing that it was her, Shen Yanqing immediately extinguished the cigarette in his hand: "Weiwei, I've come to pick you up for dinner at home."
She then suddenly remembered her chance encounter with Madam Shen earlier that day.
It seems I can't avoid this meal today.
She sighed and said to Shen Yanqing, "I'm going to park the car, I'll be right back."
After saying that, he turned around and got into his car. His gaze inadvertently fell on the stinky tofu on the passenger seat, and he wondered whether he should eat it now or eat it later in Shen Yanqing's car.
After hesitating for a long time, she rolled down the car window as the car passed by Shen Yanqing.
Shen Yanqing leaned over in confusion, and upon smelling the strange odor emanating from the car, his handsome brows furrowed instantly.
Seeing him like this, she suddenly felt like teasing him, so she picked up the bag and tossed it into his arms: "I just bought this on my way to see Yueyue, do you want some?"
A strange stench hit her face, and Shen Yanqing subconsciously took a step back, but as the object was thrown at her, she instinctively caught it in her hand.
"What's this?"
"Stinky tofu, it's delicious, would you like to try some?"
Shen Yanqing's eyebrows furrowed, her whole body radiating resistance.
Gu Baiwei's prank succeeded, and she went to park the car with a smile. When she came back, she saw Shen Yanqing standing stiffly by the car with a bag in his hand, looking disgusted.
She walked over and took the bag from his hand.
Shen Yanqing immediately felt relieved. He had been agonizing for a long time about whether to throw this thing away, as the smell was really intoxicating.
Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly realized that the strange smell seemed to have become even stronger.
Suddenly, a piece of tofu emitting a strange, foul odor appeared in front of me.
Gu Baiwei smiled and pushed the bamboo skewer sticking out the stinky tofu closer: "Want to try some? It's delicious."
Shen Yanqing immediately took a step back, her whole body radiating resistance.
"It really tastes delicious, I'm not kidding."
As she spoke, she stuffed the piece of stinky tofu into her mouth, and the rich aroma mixed with the sauce spread throughout her mouth. She squinted her eyes happily.
Shen Yanqing's gaze fell on her lips, which were even more rosy and beautiful because they were stained with soup, and for a moment he couldn't take his eyes off them.
As Gu Baiwei was about to poke at the second piece, she noticed him staring intently at her, and paused slightly in her hand: "Want to try some?"
"Um."
With a low, magnetic tone, Shen Yanqing suddenly moved closer. Before she could react, a large hand gripped the back of her head, and soft, tobacco-scented lips pressed against hers, their lips and teeth entwined.
With a thud, the stinky tofu that Gu Baiwei hadn't finished eating fell to the ground. The golden tofu pieces, soaked in broth, rolled onto the cement floor, spilling broth everywhere.
Shen Yanqing wrapped one arm around her waist and the other around the back of her head. The two of them kissed passionately in the afterglow of the setting sun, their bodies enveloped in a warm yellow halo, quiet and beautiful.
Gu Baiwei's eyes widened, and her only thought was, "A kiss that smells like stinky tofu. Boss Shen really has a heavy taste."
By the time Shen Yanqing released the person, the last rays of the setting sun had disappeared below the horizon.
Gu Baiwei leaned limply against him, her cheeks flushed.
Shen Yanqing lowered her head and kissed the top of his soft hair, chuckling softly, "It's delicious."
The moment she finished speaking, Gu Baiwei was suddenly lifted into the air. She screamed and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
