But how is this possible?
Sheng Jianan instinctively frowned, just as he was about to say something, his phone rang, breaking the tense atmosphere moments before.
Whatever was said on the other end, Tang Yanqi couldn’t hear it. She only heard Sheng Jianan frown and say after listening, "I got it, I’ll be right there."
Tang Yanqi was stunned for a moment, then immediately opened the car door and stepped outside: "You go ahead with your work."
After speaking, she didn’t wait for Sheng Jianan to respond before quickly walking towards the house.
Watching her slender back, Sheng Jianan felt a strange sensation flash through his heart, but it quickly disappeared deep within him. He had never intended to waste time on this woman who was nominally his wife, and the current situation had greatly surprised Sheng Jianan.
Qiao Zi’s phone call brought his thoughts back, and Sheng Jianan seemed to realize what he was doing. When he heard Tang Yanqi say she didn’t know how to drive, he actually wanted to verify it. Whether this verification was genuinely intended or if he merely wanted to see the woman’s act and how she would handle it.
This point, Sheng Jianan himself was not very clear about, but now he had snapped out of it, realizing he was indeed quite bored.
What happens to Tang Yanqi, what does it have to do with him?
Sitting back in the driver’s seat, Sheng Jianan started the car and left. Today was the weekend, and there was supposed to be nothing going on, but something came up at the company, so Sheng Jianan had to head over to the group.
After noon, the weather became increasingly muggy. Tang Yanqi walked out of Lake Bay Villa, and after a short distance, felt unbearably hot. Even though there wasn’t much sun, she felt like she was in a steamer, quite stifling.
However, more unfortunate was that Tang Yanqi knew the weather was definitely going to rain, but she had just searched all over the villa and couldn’t find an umbrella. The afternoon tutoring session was her first, and she couldn’t be late, so she could only pray for the heavens to grant mercy, to wait until she arrived to rain.
But the likelihood of the heavens not granting mercy was quite high. Before long, big raindrops began to pour down. Tang Yanqi held her bag over her head and glanced around briefly; there was no place nearby to take shelter from the rain.
There was no other option; Tang Yanqi could only move under a big tree. The rain after the muggy weather came fiercely, and within seconds, Tang Yanqi was drenched completely.
She had already walked some distance from the villa, going back was not an option, and continuing forward would still be a long way to the bus stop — a ridiculously awkward situation.
Tang Yanqi wiped the raindrops from her eyes, praying inwardly for some kind of miraculous rescue?
Hardly had this thought emerged when a car stopped before her in the rain.
Zhou Chengze was originally lying about in his own villa today, but had just received a call from his mother, asking him to come home for dinner.
As soon as he left the neighborhood, torrential rain poured down. Zhou Chengze slowed his car, drove leisurely forward, and unexpectedly saw the thin figure under a tree not far away.
He remembered the last time he saw Tang Yanqi was right here; wondering if this time it was her again, his car drew closer, and indeed, it was Tang Yanqi.
Zhou Chengze found it somewhat amusing, that both times he’d seen her, it was here. He was also slightly surprised; standing alone under a tree in this pouring rain, what was she doing?
The car window rolled down, and through the curtain of rain, Zhou Chengze shouted at Tang Yanqi, "Sis-in-law, get in the car."
Tang Yanqi, upon seeing who it was, impolitely and quickly opened the car door and got inside.
