“Uncle Su, are you going to kiss Aunt Qin?” Zong Yanxi’s eyes were wide opened as they blinked.
Su Zhan said, “Of course. I wish to do that…”
Before he can finish his sentence, Qin Ya glared at him, and he immediately stopped.
Qin Ya scolded, “She’s just a kid, so she’s innocent. Are you one? Look around you.”
Su Zhan immediately apologized, “My bad. I’ll pay attention to the surroundings next time.”
Looking at how Su Zhan was squirming in front of his girlfriend, Shen Peichuan laughed at him. He carried Zong Yanxi somewhere else where they wouldn’t disturb everyone.
Shao Yun asked, “Did you see the news?”
Zong Jinghao hummed in response. It was actually Guan Jing who reminded him of the news.
Confused, Lin Xinyan asked, “What news?”
Old Master Gu’s case had been decided by a bench of judges. On the previous night, the official social media platform posted the punishment for him.
Even if the people involved didn’t tell the truth, everything resurfaced after the polices’ investigation. He was convicted of corruption and bribery, and the amount of money involved was two hundred million, so he was to be executed.
Everyone was thrilled to hear this.
Shao Yun patted Zong Jinghao’s shoulders and said, “Take care of Yan and also, come to C City when you have time.”
Zong Jinghao held Lin Xinyan’s shoulders and said, “I’ll be there.”
“Flight A950 to C City will depart shortly. All passengers, please check your ticket at the boarding gate.”
“I’ll be off. You guys can go back home now.” Shao Yun waved his hands.
Su Zhan and Qin Ya walked toward them. Qin Ya hugged Lin Xinyan and said, “I’ll go back first and I will look after the store, so don’t worry. Treat my godson well, alright?”
Lim Xinyan hummed in reply.
Soon, they reached the checkpoint.
As their figures slowly blended in with the crowd, Lin Xinyan felt crestfallen. “Uncle, Qin Ya, I’ll definitely go to C City and meet you guys.”
“Okay. We’ll be waiting for you.” Qin Ya waved her hands while Shao Yun’s eyes turned red with tears. “Damn…”
Then they turned to leave.
It’s quite a sentimental fact that everything will eventually end. But we’ll meet again.
“Goodbye, Uncle Shao and Aunt Qin. I’ll miss you guys, but I’ll visit you guys with my brother.” Zong Yanxi held her hands up high, waving at them.
The entrance was flooded with people, so they had no choice but to go in right away.
Su Zhan stood beside the entrance and took out his phone to send a message to Qin Ya: Ya, I miss you already. What should I do?
Upon sitting in her seat, Qin Ya’s mobile phone beeped. She saw the messages and replied: There’s nothing you can do.
After replying to Su Zhan’s message, she turned off her phone.
Reading her reply, Su Zhan chuckled like a child. Even if it wasn’t sweet talk, he was happy and satisfied that she didn’t ignore him.
Shen Peichuan looked at him coldly. “You laugh like a fool.”
“I don’t.” Suddenly, Su Zhan’s mobile phone rang. It was from the Law firm. There was a tough case, and no lawyer dared to take it, so Su Zhan’s help was needed. He replied with “I understand” before hanging up. Turning to Shen Peichuan, he said, “I have an emergency, so I have to go. You can get a ride in Jinghao’s car.”
With that, he left.
“What an unreliable person.” Shen Peichuan said subconsciously.
Zong Jinghao gave him his car keys and said, “Use my car.”
Shen Peichuan asked, “How about you?”
Zong Jinghao explained, “I have other matters to attend to, so I’m not going back right now. Can you help me send Yanxi back to the villa?”
“Alright.” Shen Peichuan nodded and walked away.
After taking two steps, he paused in his tracks and said, “Do you guys have time tonight? I want to treat you guys to a meal.”
“Is there anything?” Lin Xinyan looked at him and asked.
Shen Peichuan nodded. “I wish to introduce my girlfriend to you guys.”
Lin Xinyan’s eyes widened in surprise. “You have a girlfriend?”
Shen Peichuan thought since he agreed and accepted Song Yaxin as a girlfriend, then he should introduce her to his friends.
He nodded in response and said, “Yeah.”
“Sure. We have time for something so important.” Lin Xinyan grinned.
Shen Peichuan said, “I’ll send you the address after I’ve booked the place.”
Lin Xinyan nodded and reminded him to drive safely.
Shen Peichuan said, “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely bring Yanxi back home safely.”
With that, he carried Zong Yanxi and left the airport. Zong Yanxi leaned on his shoulder and pouted. “Haih, I was abandoned.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Who has abandoned you?” Shen Peichuan placed her on the child seat after opening the backseat door.
Zong Yanxi pouted. “My Mommy and Daddy, of course. They are always together… They don’t want me and my brother anymore.”
Shen Peichuan offered, “You can live with me…”
“No way!” Before Shen Peichuan could finish his sentence, Zong Yanxi hurriedly interrupted him. Although she spent little time with her Daddy and Mommy, she was still happy.
Hmmph! I’m not leaving Daddy and Mommy to live with him.
After starting the engine, Shen Peichuan thought of Song Yaxin, so he took out his phone to give her a call, but he didn’t have her number. He had no choice but to call Captain Song.
On the previous night, Song Yaxin got home and told her parents about Shen Peichuan accepting her to be his girlfriend.
Mrs. Song was smiling from ear to ear, but Captain Song only heaved a faint sigh.
Noticing his reaction, Mrs. Song frowned and asked, “You don’t want our daughter to be with Shen Peichuan?”
Captain Song grunted and didn’t make a reply. It will be best if they can get together. But I can’t seem to shake this feeling of guilt off me.
The moment he saw Shen Peichuan’s number on the screen, he immediately answered the call.
He wanted to find out about Shen Peichuan’s thoughts on this matter, but before he could say anything, Shen Peichuan’s voice could be heard from the phone. “I’m looking for Yaxin, but I don’t have her number.”
Captain Song looked at her daughter, who was peeling an apple, and handed her the phone. “Peichuan’s asking for you, but he didn’t have your number.”
Song Yaxin immediately took the phone and smiled. “Peichuan.”
Shen Peichuan said, “I’m treating my friends to a meal tonight, and I’m thinking of introducing you to them. Are you free tonight?”
“Sure. Oh yeah, where are you right now? Can you come and fetch me? I don’t want to drive to work. Also, you can take your car.” Since he promised me, and we’re in a relationship now. So, we must stay in touch to nurture our feelings.
The neighborhood Song Yaxin lived in was in the same direction as the villa, so Shen Peichuan said, “Sure. You wait for me downstairs. I’ll be there in a moment.”
After about ten minutes, Shen Peichuan arrived in the neighborhood, while Song Yaxin was already waiting downstairs. She thought Shen Peichuan would ride a taxi, as his car was parked at her house. So, she didn’t realize his arrival before he called for her.
After she got into the car, she asked, “Who’s car is this? Yours?”
Before Shen Peichuan could answer, Zong Yanxi replied, “It’s my Daddy’s car.”
Song Yaxin finally noticed there was someone in the car’s backseat and furrowed her brows. Here goes my private time with Shen Peichuan. Who’s this rascal?
