Chapter 26
Did Something Bad
The two were in the restaurant.
Shi Qian lowered her gaze and ate her breakfast. Her speed was a little fast.
Shang Sizhan, on the other hand, was as elegant and slow as usual. Nothing different from the typical.
Shi Qian quickly swallowed the food in her mouth. Then she laid her utensil on the table, smiled, and said, “Young Master Zhan, I’m full. Take your time to eat. I’ll be leaving first.”
He stood up after she spoke.
“Wait,” Shang Sizhan said and put down his utensils. He looked at her. “I’ll send you off.”
Shi Qian sparingly moved her lips. She wanted to say there was no need, but she felt it was unnecessary.
Shang Sizhan would never change his mind once he had decided on something. That included small matters like sending her off to school.
Outside the villa.
Severely ice-faced Li Feng stood in the car and greeted respectfully. “Young Master Zhan, Miss Qian Qian.”
The two got into the car, and Li Feng closed the door and sat in the driver’s seat.
The car slowly drove out of the king’s garden.
Baili Xi behind them looked at the car’s shadow that gradually got increasingly far. He frowned slightly.
“The two left together without asking anything,” he muttered.
Baili Xi looked at the time on his phone and calculated Shi Qian would arrive at school. He planned to ask her what had happened after she and the young master parted ways.
In the car.
Shi Qian felt slightly uncomfortable beside Shang Sizhan, maybe because of the other night’s incident.
She had wanted to get to school as soon as possible, but a traffic jam delayed the discomfort!
The driver parked the car in place for 20 minutes without movement.
She sneaked a glance at the demon beside her.
The man held a laptop in his hand. His eyes focused on the screen. His slender and good-looking fingers occasionally pressed the buttons, but he was very calm.
So much so that Shi Qian felt she might have been sparingly too pretentious.
‘He was just drunk and had a pure night’s sleep.
‘Nothing happened!’
Shi Qian retracted her gaze and took out her phone to check the time.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang. It was Baili Xi.
Shi Qian’s finger slid across the screen to answer the call. “Hey…”
People near her could hear Baili Xi’s excited and gossipy voice from the receiver. “Shi Xiaoqian, speak! When did you start doing bad things with Young Master Zhan?”
Shi Qian was speechless.
Although the receiver wasn’t loud, Shang Sizhan could hear the voice of Baili Xi at a close distance.
Shi Qian didn’t turn her head, but from the corner of her eye, she saw Shang Sizhan’s fingers stop typing.
“Baili Xi, just wait for me!”
After a few seconds of silence, Shi Qian slowly spoke calmly. “Baili Xi, you’re sleepwalking!”
Baili Xi laughed and said, “Ha, you still don’t admit it!” I saw Young Master Zhan coming out of your room this morning. Tell me, when did you two sleep?”
“Say your uncle!”
Shi Qian cursed in her heart, but on the surface, she said solemnly, “Baili Xi, listen to me. Prescribe some medicine to take. Your mental state has not been sound recently.
“Shi Xiaoqian…”
Shi Qian hung up the phone and did not wait for Baili Xi to continue.
She heard a chuckle.
It was Shang Sizhan.
Shi Qian didn’t turn her head, and the car ultimately moved.
“Qian Qian.” Shang Sizhan suddenly spoke.
“Ah?” Shi Qian turned to look at him.
Shang Sizhan looked at her with a half-smile. “Give me a call before class ends. I’ll come to pick you up.”
“Oh, okay.” Shi Qian’s lips curved into a smile.
Ten minutes later.
The car stopped near the school.
Shi Qian bade Shang Sizhan goodbye after she came out of the car. She turned around to walk toward the school.
Shang Sizhan’s car didn’t leave immediately. He seemed to have waited for the girl to enter the school.
In a black SUV across the road.
Jiang Ci sat in the driver’s seat with Huo Fei beside him.
The two looked at Shang Sizhan’s car.
“Ah!” Huo Fei said. That’s Young Master Zhan’s car, right? Master Zhan is personally sending Sister Qian off again.”
Jiang Ci’s eyes darkened. He pursed his lips and did not say anything.
