Lin Jiayi turned her head to look at Xia Shangzhou. She hadn't paid much attention to it in the past, but for some reason, memories of the past kept flashing through her mind. She suddenly realized that there were many times when she was changing her shoes that Xia Shangzhou would squat behind her and act as a chair for her to sit on … She couldn't remember exactly when this started, but it felt like it had been a very, very long time ago …
Seeing that there wasn't any weight pressing down on his back, Xia Shangzhou couldn't help but turn his head around out of curiosity.
Before his gaze could reach Lin Jiayi's upper body, Lin Jiayi had already recovered from her daze. She quickly retracted her gaze and sat on his back before bending down to change her shoes.
After she changed into her shoes and stood up, she said to Xia Shangzhou, "Thank you."
It was a simple word, but it caused Xia Shangzhou, who was just about to stand up, to freeze on the spot.
Roughly half a minute later, as if nothing had happened to him, he straightened his back. However, his fingers, which were twisting the cap of the mineral water bottle, were still trembling slightly.
Thank you … I know very well where I stand in her heart. I know that I'm just an employee, a subordinate, an existence who should serve her. But today, she actually thanked me … It was just two simple words, but it left me feeling satisfied for a very long time.
After calming himself down, Xia Shangzhou walked up to Lin Jiayi and passed the bottle of mineral water to her. "Ms. Lin, have some water."
After Lin Jiayi took the bottle from him, Xia Shangzhou bent down to pick up the high heels that Lin Jiayi had changed out of. "Ms. Lin, I'll send you home."
After drinking half a bottle of water, Lin Jiayi twisted the cap back on before turning to look at Xia Shangzhou.
Xia Shangzhou didn't know what he was panicking about, but he instinctively averted his eyes to avoid her gaze.
She replied with a very soft "Un" before walking over to his car, which was parked by the roadside.
Xia Shangzhou heaved a sigh of relief. He hastened his footsteps and opened the car door for her.
After getting into the car, Xia Shangzhou fastened his seatbelt and asked, "Ms. Lin … Are you returning to the old manor or your own place?"
"Let's return to my own place."
"Alright." After a pause, Xia Shangzhou continued, "It's your birthday today. You didn't go to your birthday party, and your family has been waiting for you for a long time. They've also called you many times. If you're not going back to the mansion, give them a call so that they won't worry about you."
After a moment of contemplation, Xia Shangzhou felt that Lin Jiayi must be feeling awful after bumping into Qin Ting today. If she were to call back to the Old Manor, she would surely be lectured by the elders of the clan. Thus, he added, "Why don't I … give the Old Manor a call right now?"
"Alright."
After hearing Lin Jiayi's reply, Xia Shangzhou picked up his phone and gave the old manor a call.
"Hello, Old Master Lin. I'm Xiao Xia. Yes, I've found President Lin. She's not feeling well … It's fine, it's fine. You don't have to come and see her. I'll send her back to rest …"
Listening to the conversation between Xia Shangzhou and her grandfather, Lin Jiayi's thoughts drifted away once more.
