After leaving the estate, Ye Feng returned home. Once Ye Feng parked the car, he walked into the living room.
"What time is it, you know how to come home? Sneaking out without saying a word, you really did a great job!"
Just as Ye Feng stepped into the living room, he saw Lin Shiyu sitting on the sofa, dressed in red pajamas, arms crossed and staring coldly at Ye Feng. A hint of sorrow in her eyes made Ye Feng feel somewhat guilty.
However, Ye Feng kept his usual calm demeanor, showing no emotion on his face. "I ran into something urgent, so I went out for a while and borrowed your car!"
"Really?" Lin Shiyu didn’t believe it at all. She then stood up and walked over to Ye Feng.
As Lin Shiyu approached him, a slight ripple stirred in Ye Feng’s heart.
Then, Lin Shiyu came in front of Ye Feng, sniffed, and her expression grew even colder.
"It smells really nice, two different perfume scents. What were you really up to, Ye Feng, sneaking out in the middle of the night and not coming home until so late?" Lin Shiyu looked at Ye Feng and accused him.
"Where I go doesn’t seem like I need to report to you. I’m going to rest..." Before finishing his sentence, Ye Feng turned and walked towards his room without looking back.
Seeing Ye Feng’s attitude, Lin Shiyu was so angry she almost stamped her foot. "Ye Feng, I warn you, if you want to play with women, I don’t care, but you better not let me see it with my own eyes; otherwise, I definitely won’t let you off!"
Ye Feng didn’t look back as he walked into his room; he didn’t care about these things.
The next morning arrived quickly. Sir Lin Zhen, Ye Feng, and Lin Shiyu sat together for breakfast.
At that moment, Lin Shiyu had dark circles under her eyes, looking very tired, obviously because she hadn’t slept well the night before.
Sir Lin Zhen asked with concern, "Shiyu, did you not sleep well last night? Why are you sporting dark circles? Otherwise, you should rest at home today, there’s no need to go to the office."
Lin Shiyu shook her head, "I’m fine, Grandpa. Besides, there’s a contract I need to sign today; I can’t miss it."
Lin Shiyu thought about it all night, sleeping only a little over three hours. She kept wanting to know what exactly had been done with her car last night.
Though Lin Shiyu kept saying she didn’t mind, she really did. She clearly smelled the perfume on Ye Feng, but she thought, Ye Feng shouldn’t be that kind of person, and her mind kept racing until dawn.
After breakfast, Ye Feng and Lin Shiyu got into the car together and headed for the company.
Despite her fatigue, Lin Shiyu’s face was still cold. She spoke softly, "Where did this tacky smell in my car come from? I really don’t know where you took my car yesterday."
Yesterday, Qian Jia had been in Lin Shiyu’s car, and some of the fragrance lingered, though the scent was very faint, Lin Shiyu still noticed it.
Ye Feng felt somewhat helpless, he had been subject to passive-aggressive remarks since last night, as if he had actually committed some grievous sin. Ye Feng opened his mouth and said, "I had an urgent matter yesterday and indeed, I did interact with women, but it’s not what you think."
After hearing Ye Feng’s words, Lin Shiyu’s heart relaxed instantly, and she even felt somewhat excited, instantly feeling three times better, yet her face still maintained a cold expression.
"Did I ask you anything? You don’t need to explain to me, no need to waste words..." Lin Shiyu said coldly.
Ye Feng simply closed his eyes, not responding any further, resting peacefully, and soon he was back at the company.
"Mr. Lin, Chairman Ye..." Upon arriving at Lin Group, the employees saw Ye Feng and Lin Shiyu and greeted them warmly.
Both Ye Feng and Lin Shiyu calmly nodded their heads, responding to everyone as a gesture of friendliness.
Watching the back of Ye Feng and Lin Shiyu as they left, everyone started speculating, "What exactly is the relationship between Chairman Ye and Mr. Lin, they seem to come and go from work together every day, right?"
"Yes, the two of them feel cold, giving a very strong pressure!"
"Do you think Mr. Lin and Chairman Ye could be a couple?"
"Don’t talk nonsense, be careful or Mr. Lin might hear you and fire you!"
Although Ye Feng had already become the Chairman of Lin Company, he did not have his own office and, like always, went to the head of the security department’s office where Zheng Yonggang and Zhao Ziming had already arrived.
"Mr. Ye... Ye Feng!" Both Zheng Yonggang and Zhao Ziming greeted Ye Feng enthusiastically.
Zhao Ziming approached Ye Feng, "Oh right, Ye Feng, I almost forgot to tell you, there is a high school reunion after work today at Hongyu Restaurant, let’s go together!"
"Oh? A reunion?" Ye Feng, after hearing this, didn’t feel interested. Except for Zhao Ziming, Ye Feng hardly had a good impression of any of his high school classmates and naturally didn’t want to attend.
Zhao Ziming, with a helpless expression, said, "Ye Feng, you have to come with me. I really have no choice; they all will bring their partners, but my wife has gone back to her parents’ home these days. If I go alone, you coming with me will give me some company; how about that, please come with me!"
The look in Zhao Ziming’s eyes showed anticipation; he looked at Ye Feng with a pleading face, causing Ye Feng to feel a headache.
Zhao Ziming quickly added, "Ye Feng, do you still remember the chef at Hongyu Restaurant? He used to run that small restaurant across from our school. Later, without running the restaurant any longer, Hongyu Restaurant invited him as their chef. Didn’t we love that chef’s dishes? If you come with me, you’ll be able to enjoy the food you like!"
"Okay then, but let me make it clear, after the meal, I’m leaving!" Ye Feng said indifferently.
Ye Feng, though feeling the food was delicious, was not obsessed; it was nostalgia that truly attracted him.
Eight years in the Southern Border, Ye Feng had experienced countless things unimaginable to others. Now back in Lin Tian City, he found himself nostalgic for his student days, which was why he agreed to attend.
Time swiftly passed, and soon it was time to leave work.
