Tang Yanqi initially intended to refuse, but after looking up at the scorching sun and then at the long road ahead, she decided against it. She still didn’t want to torture herself, so she politely and courteously said, "Thank you, sorry for the trouble."
The car’s air conditioning blew cold air, dispelling the heat from Tang Yanqi’s body, and she suddenly felt much more clear-headed. She took a tissue out of her backpack to wipe the sweat off her forehead. She really felt like she was about to have a heatstroke.
"Sis-in-law, why are you walking?"
"Hmm? Because there’s no bus here."
Zhou Chengze almost slammed on the brakes. Bus?
This public transportation was so unfamiliar to him, no, it shouldn’t be unfamiliar just to him; sitting behind him was the Young Madam Sheng, the Tang Family’s young lady, yet he actually heard the words "bus" from her mouth.
"Sis... Sis-in-law, are you experiencing life?"
Tang Yanqi also realized she had misspoken, she was sun-dazzled, so she said whatever came to mind. How could she let outsiders know that Miss Tang was taking the public bus?
"Yes, you’re very clever."
Zhou Chengze was again speechless. What on earth did this have to do with him being clever?
Also, is this woman a conversation killer? Why can’t he even get more than three sentences in when chatting with her?
Zhou Chengze decided to keep quiet, and Tang Yanqi also remained silent. The car quickly arrived at the villa entrance. Tang Yanqi opened the car door and got out. She politely said "Thank you" to Zhou Chengze and then turned around and walked inside.
In front of the shoe cabinet, she saw Sheng Jianan’s shoes and was somewhat surprised. That man actually came back?
Indeed, as she stepped inside, she saw Sheng Jianan standing on the third step, looking at her with a sarcastic face: "Miss Tang really has skills, so quickly hooking up with my buddy?"
Tang Yanqi lowered her eyes, pressed her lips together, and said nothing. She knew that no matter what she said, Sheng Jianan would always find something more sarcastic to say to her.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Yanqi could more or less guess the reason why Sheng Jianan appeared here. She stepped forward and reached out: "Hand over the phone."
"Aren’t you going to call Grandpa?"
Sheng Jianan narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze seemed to dissect Tang Yanqi bit by bit. But this woman was too calm, as calm as a frozen lake, without the slightest ripple.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze. After a few seconds, Sheng Jianan took out his phone and slapped it into Tang Yanqi’s hand: "Don’t play tricks on me."
Dialing Mr. Sheng’s number, Tang Yanqi softly opened her mouth: "Grandpa, it’s me, Yanqi..."
Tang Yanqi’s cheeks were a bit red from the sun, and coupled with her now soft voice, she looked like she was acting cute. Sheng Jianan squinted his eyes, sneering in his heart. This woman, dressed simply and without makeup, was really putting on an innocent act.
"Oh, okay, Grandpa, hold on, I’ll let him listen."
Not knowing what Mr. Sheng said on the other end, Tang Yanqi handed the phone back to Sheng Jianan: "Grandpa wants to talk to you."
Sheng Jianan still had a mocking expression on his face, but his tone was completely at odds with his expression: "Grandpa, are you done with the spot check?"
On the other end, Mr. Sheng sternly said: "What nonsense, today is the weekend, bring Yanqi back for dinner."
"Grandpa, that’s not good, disturbing our couple time is not good, not good at all."
Tang Yanqi listened to Sheng Jianan, and the words "couple time" startled her, but in the face of Sheng Jianan’s mocking expression, Tang Yanqi quickly regained her composure.
