Accidental Love

While thoughts were flying across Zheng Shuyi's mind, Chen Sheng had already walked up to Shi Yan and whispered something to his ear.

Shi Yan raised his eyes and looked over, meeting his eyes with Zheng Shuyi's somewhat confused, bewildered, and awkward gaze.

Zheng Shuyi was dumbfounded. She couldn't hold her gaze back as she just stood there and stared at Shi Yan.

After a second or two, Shi Yan looked away and walked over towards the elevator.

Zheng Shuyi was still standing there frantically thinking. She quickly thought of two choices that she could choose from.

One, she would just quietly go away and pretend that nothing had ever happened. From now on, the person named Zheng Shuyi would slowly disappear from Shi Yan's life.

Two, as her elementary school teacher had once said, one must not let go of any opportunities. She had to do the interview and continue to her goal of being the aunt.

Her body seemed to have made a choice ahead of her brain.

Zheng Shuyi immediately smiled towards him.

She had thick, smooth, and long black hair, neatly centered. One side of her hair was tucked behind her ears while the other hung naturally beside her cheeks.

But when she smiled, the light in her eyes completely suppressed her seriousness, as if a group of butterflies was fighting to fly out.

On the solemn office hallway, she felt more lively than ever.

However, Shi Yan's eyes never fell on her again. As if she was a wax figure, he walked directly past her.

"…"

Her smile remained unchanged as she stared at the air and tried to cheer herself up. She quickly turned around and said, "Mr. Shi, we have an interview this afternoon."

Shi Yan stopped, glanced back, and slightly raised his eyebrows.

The air in the building seemed to have stopped flowing. All the assistants and secretaries' eyes landed on Zheng Shuyi and Shi Yan.

Everyone here knew that today's interview from "Finance Weekly" was already over.

Even Chen Sheng beside her was surprised.

Miss, did you forget what I just said?

Of course Zheng Shuyi knew, but she was still not giving up. She continued to pretend that she knew nothing while looking at Shi Yan.

If she didn't try, then she could only go home today empty-handed.

Zheng Shuyi clenched her hands tightly, and spoke with a clear voice, "I… I have been looking forward to this interview for a long time. Do you think you have some time at the moment?"

After she finished, the hallway was so quiet that one could hear if a needle fell.

Shi Yan's eyebrows returned to normal. As he turned his head around, he caught the sight of Zheng Shuyi's tightly curled-up hands hanging beside her legs.

Because she was using too much strength, the joints were even showing a light blue color.

Suddenly, the person in front of him frowned slightly and said with a tiny voice, "It'll just take a little while, please?"

Shi Yan thought about it.

Moments later.

He didn't even bother to look back, but his voice sounded clear,

"Come."

Everyone was still deadly silent.

Everyone looked at each other, confused yet afraid to ask.

The last person to realize what he had said was probably Zheng Shuyi.

It wasn't until Shi Yan stepped away until she finally realized what he had said.

——Do you have time?

——Come here.

In Zheng Shuyi's mind, that meant nothing but: Yes! I have a lot of time right now!

God bless me!

She started walking with a feeling of surprised happiness and immediately followed up with Shi Yan into the elevator.

——

The elevator descended slowly.

The environment changed from a spacious office area to a relatively small elevator.

This helped Zheng Shuyi calm down a bit. She looked at the buttons area and saw that the button "B2 Underground Parking" was pressed.

Zheng Shuyi wasn't sure why they were going to the parking lot. She glanced at Shi Yan's back and then at Chen Sheng beside him. He asked cautiously, "Mr. Shi, may I ask where are we…"

Suddenly, a cell phone rang.

Zheng Shuyi could hear that it was from Shi Yan's phone, so she closed her mouth and stopped talking.

But Shi Yan just took out his phone slowly, glanced at it, and then hung up.

Soon after, Chen Sheng's cell phone started ringing too.

Zheng Shuyi was standing behind Shi Yan so he couldn't see his expression when he hung up, but he could see Chen Sheng's face clearly.

After seeing the caller ID, he frowned quickly and then picked it up.

Before he spoke, Zheng Shuyi clearly heard the sharp female voice coming from the other side, "Tell my uncle to answer the phone!"

No way! It's that woman!

Zheng Shuyi's thoughts quickly flew across her mind again. She held tightly onto her shoulder bag and stared at Shi Yan's back with all sorts of emotions.

She really wanted to see how Shi Yan treated his own niece.

Chen Sheng handed over the phone, but before he could say anything, Shi Yan already spoke, "Tell her, if she doesn't know how to follow directions, don't show up in front of me."

The tone was calm and unwavering as if he was explaining to someone what to eat for their meals. The tone was quite oppressive.

"…"

Zheng Shuyi quietly sneered.

Quite strict.

Why don't you teach your niece how not to steal someone else’s man?

Chen Sheng nodded and repeated it on the phone. Then the call was immediately hung up.

The elevator was back to silence again.

It wasn't until they arrived at the parking lot did Shi Yan's attitude return to normal.

Things were going better than she thought.

A strict uncle, an uncle who desires obedience. This was way too suitable for her.

The door opened and Shi Yan stepped out. Zheng Shuyi quickly followed.

When he stopped in front of the car, the driver opened the door for Shi Yan. Only then did he seem to remember that Zheng Shuyi was still following him. He stopped, turned around, and looked at Zheng Shuyi.

"I have a two-hour ride. We can have the interview in the car."

Obviously, he wasn't asking, but Zheng Shuyi still nodded quickly and replied, "That works."

Even if I have to lie under the car, I'll still do it!

Shi Yan did not talk more as he unbuttoned the top button of his suit and got into the car.

Zheng Shuyi studied the car in front of her and showed a little smile.

Haha, Yue Xingzhou, I bet you never thought that I'll sit in this car before you do 😛

Although there were four people in the car, no one made a sound.

It seemed that wherever Shi Yan was, that place would be particularly quiet.

This was Zheng Shuyi's first feeling when she got into the car: This person is like a walking mute.

He leaned back on his seat, took off his glasses, and slowly cleaned his lenses with a cleaning cloth.

Hearing the movement beside him, he looked to his right side and saw Zheng Shuyi, who was pressing onto her skirt to sit in the car. Her silky hair hung down like a waterfall, and a faint fragrance flew into his nose.

She was wearing a white pencil skirt and when she sat down, the skirt only covered to a few inches on top of her knees. Her thin and white legs were shown, and they looked even whiter than the skirt.

Shi Yan looked away and put on his glasses.

The car slowly pulled out of the parking lot, but her fragrance continued to fill the car.

Shi Yan asked suddenly, "Are you cold?"

Zheng Shuyi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Shi Yan.

She wasn't expecting him to ask this.

Is he a bit too caring?

"No." Zheng Shuyi smiled and shook her head.

Shi Yan crossed his legs quietly and calmly ordered the driver, "Open the window."

The window slowly rolled down, and a cold late autumn wind blew on Zheng Shuyi's face mercilessly. Her nose felt uncomfortable as she took a breath of the freezing air.

"…"

I didn't say I am cold but that doesn't mean I'm hot!?
