Chapter 8 : Should I Call You Sister-in-law?
- In order to save time, Lin Wancheng took a taxi to get here.
- The villa of the Shen family's old mansion is located in the south of the city, while the company is in the north. It cost her over a hundred yuan, which was quite painful.
- On her way back, she planned to take the bus and then transfer to the subway. As she followed the navigation to the nearest bus stop, she noticed a striking Rolls-Royce parked by the roadside.
- Why does this car look so familiar?
- When the person in the driver's seat rolled down the window, Lin Wancheng remembered. It was the same car she saw outside the company gate this morning.
- Shen Sichen didn't expect that he would also experience being stood up by a woman. He was about to leave for the company when he received a call from Xiao Yu, inviting him to have lunch together.
- He asked the driver to park the car by the roadside and wait for Xiao Yu to arrive. Through the rearview mirror, he saw Lin Wancheng running towards them.
- She seems to be in a good mood now. She was crying just a moment ago.
- "Why are you here?" Shen Sichen looked out of the car window.
- How awkward it is to run into your boss when you're sneaking out during work hours. How embarrassing can it get?
- The one who approved her leave was the supervisor, and the CEO naturally had no idea. Lin Wancheng calmly lied, "The supervisor asked me to come here to pick up a document."
- This area is mostly inhabited by wealthy people, so this explanation seemed reasonable. Shen Sichen didn't suspect anything.
- "Get in the car, I'll take you back," he unlocked the car door.
- "No need, no need! I can go back by myself!" Lin Wancheng hurriedly waved her hand to refuse, coming up with an excuse, "Um... I didn't have time to eat lunch, I'm very hungry, so I'll go find a restaurant first."
- If she was discovered lying, her meager salary would probably be deducted again.
- Shen Sichen squinted his eyes, scrutinizing the two women he wanted to avoid on the roadside.
- "Are you afraid of me?"
- "Of course not..."
- To be precise, she didn't fear him, she just disliked him!
- Every time she ran into him, something bad would happen. It would be strange if she didn't dislike him!
- "Why are you standing here talking?" a voice suddenly came from behind.
- Lin Wancheng turned around and saw a man wearing a light brown shirt and casual trousers opening Shen Sichen's car door.
- Seeing the girl's innocent and beautiful face, Xiao Yu's eyes flickered with a keen curiosity.
- Isn't this the girl he met at the bar last time?
- "Oh, Sichen, who is this beautiful lady? Should I call her sister-in-law?" Xiao Yu teased with amusement.
- Lin Wancheng frowned, "You've misunderstood."
- She definitely wasn't anyone's sister-in-law.
- However, Xiao Yu's gaze became even more ambiguous, as if he had already determined their relationship in his mind. He raised his eyebrows and said, "We happen to be going to have lunch. Let's go together."
- "No need! You guys go ahead, I won't disturb you."
- "Why be so polite? I'm afraid I'm the one disturbing you. Get in the car!" Xiao Yu insisted.
- Faced with Xiao Yu's enthusiastic invitation, Lin Wancheng felt embarrassed.
- Originally, she could have refused and walked away directly, but Shen Sichen's car happened to be parked next to the bus stop where she was supposed to catch her bus. Where could she go?
- One was her boss with whom she had a conflict, and the other was a stranger who was teasing her. What good could come out of having a meal with them? It would only end in embarrassment!
- As she racked her brain for an excuse to refuse, Shen Sichen impatiently knocked on the car window.
- "Get in the car! It's work hours, don't act on your own."
- Using work to pressure her?
- What else could she do?
- Except for humiliating obedience...
- She opened the door and sat in the back seat, tightly pressed against the car door, keeping a distance of at least one person's length from Shen Sichen.
- She was determined to avoid any physical contact with him!
- Shen Sichen helplessly glanced at her.
- Was it necessary? Was he some kind of contagious virus?
- Taking advantage of Xiao Yu turning his head to talk to him from the passenger seat, she discreetly took out her phone and sent a message to Lan Xue for help.
- "Emergency! Take me away!"
- She added a row of red exclamation marks at the end to emphasize the urgency of the situation.
