For some reason, Yan Beicheng's face flashed through her mind. Her ears felt hot again, as if his breath was on her skin again.
Lin Chu shook her head forcefully. Why did she think of him?
She rubbed her arms and called the waiter to pay the bill. Tonight, it was all thanks to Yan Beicheng. Otherwise, she would definitely be at a disadvantage with You Weiwen and Yao Xingzhi. Even if she could escape, it wouldn't be so easy. It was only right to treat Yan Beicheng to a meal.
With Yan Beicheng's status, she was afraid that if she took the initiative to say it, people would misunderstand that she was trying to climb the social ladder. It was good to use this opportunity to secretly pay the bill.
"Hello, Madam. The gentleman who came with you has already paid the bill," the waiter said politely.
Just then, Yan Beicheng came back with Yan Ningbai. Yan Ningbai hopped back to his seat and continued to eat his ribs.
Yan Beicheng glanced at the waiter. The waiter smiled and left.
"..." Lin Chu was shocked by his coldness. She smiled fawningly. "Haha, it's all thanks to Young Master Yan helping me tonight. I wanted to treat you to a meal, but I didn't expect you to pay the bill first."
Yan Beicheng looked at her for a while until Lin Chu felt numb. Then, he nodded seriously. "Next time then."
Lin Chu: "..."
Would there be a next time?
After the meal, when they left, Lin Chu didn't say anything about leaving on her own. It seemed that Yan Beicheng was determined to send her off. If she insisted on leaving on her own, Lin Chu felt that it was a little pretentious and annoying.
Yan Ningbai climbed into the back seat skillfully and fastened her seatbelt. From the looks of it, Yan Beicheng's great-uncle often entrusted Yan Ningbai to Yan Beicheng to take care of.
As she thought about this, she saw Yan Beicheng's long fingers reach over. She panicked and remembered that Yan Beicheng came over to fasten her seatbelt for her.
What was supposed to be a gentleman's action became a hooligan's on him. He didn't have the slightest bit of polite distance, so she had nowhere to hide.
Lin Chu didn't think and quickly pulled on her seatbelt. Before he could move, she buckled it.
As the seatbelt buckled, Yan Beicheng's mocking sneer could be heard. Lin Chu subconsciously turned her head and saw his black eyes glancing at her hand that was still on the seat belt buckle with a faint smile. It was as if he was laughing at her thinking too much and that he had no intention of helping her fasten the seat belt.
Lin Chu's face turned red. She was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands. She felt uncomfortable wherever she put them. She lowered her head and stared at her knees. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Yan Beicheng start the car. His elegant and good-looking hand put on the gear, his movements elegant and casual.
The car fell into silence again. Lin Chu didn't know what to say again. But she was a person who was very afraid of the awkward atmosphere. Just as she was thinking about how to break the awkward atmosphere, the phone in her bag rang.
Lin Chu heaved a sigh of relief, but when he took out his phone and saw the name on the screen, his originally relaxed mood became slack again.
It was Wang Jinglin, Cheng Ziming's mother. She really didn't know what kind of attitude she should take to face this.
He answered the call awkwardly, but he tried his best to act as if nothing had happened. "Auntie."
"Lin Chu." Wang Jinglin's voice was gentle. It sounded like she never quarreled with others, and she even sounded a little timid.
In fact, Lin Chu's impression of Wang Jinglin had always been like this. She stayed at home to support her husband and teach her son. She never refuted her husband and son's opinions. She was like a woman who lived in the backyard in ancient times.
"Auntie, what's the matter?" Lin Chu asked politely.
She glanced at Yan Beicheng from the corner of her eyes.
"Lin Chu, just now … are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't know about Yuwen and Ziming. I didn't know until Ziming brought Yuwen home and told me that they were engaged. Actually, I … I've long treated you as my daughter-in-law. All this time, Ziming has been busy with his career. I remember how much you've done for us. I never had the chance to tell you, and it wasn't convenient to talk to you at the engagement party. Until I met you just now. Don't take Yuwen's words to heart. She's just like that. Ziming was wrong about what happened to you guys. I've said it before. He let you down, but he's already with Yuwen. As his mother, it's not good for me to say anything. After all, I also hope for a harmonious family. I don't want to quarrel with my son all the time, and I don't want to see my son quarrel with his daughter-in-law. Lin Chu, you … can understand me, right? "
Of course, Lin Chu had never thought of letting Wang Jinglin do anything to Cheng Ziming for her, so he said, "Auntie, don't worry. I don't blame you. As for Cheng … Ziming, I don't blame him. Who said that people can't break up when they're in love?"
"Lin Chu, I can understand that you feel bad. This is indeed Ziming's fault. I just hope that it won't affect our relationship. I still like you very much and treat you like my daughter, "Wang Jinglin said softly. It was just that no matter what, she couldn't compare to Cheng Ziming's future.
Lin Chu didn't take it to heart and was a little lazy to deal with it. "I know. Auntie, you really don't have to worry. I understand."
"Sigh, you … it's good that you can understand. Have you been busy recently? "Wang Jinglin asked.
Lin Chu had never been so anxious to hang up the phone before. Yan Beicheng's presence was too strong, and she didn't know why the car's performance was so good. The car was quiet, and there wasn't even much sound of driving.
However, her phone's sound leakage was so bad that Yan Beicheng probably heard Wang Jinglin's words clearly.
"I'm quite busy. I just entered the company not long ago, and the internship period is very important," Lin Chu said lightly.
She heard Wang Jinglin laugh awkwardly. "No wonder you haven't come to see me recently. I thought you were blaming me."
"You're thinking too much." Lin Chu could only say, "I'll visit you when I'm free."
"Sigh, it's good that you don't blame me." Wang Jinglin's voice sounded a little happier.
After hanging up the phone with great difficulty, Lin Chu was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl under the car.
"What do you plan to do about the company?" Yan Beicheng's low and mellow voice floated over in the quiet car.
His voice was very pleasant to listen to. Lin Chu felt that it was even better than those popular online actresses. His low and mellow voice was naturally magnetic, but it wasn't the hoarse kind. It made people who heard it couldn't help but be attracted to him. Especially when he whispered in her ear, she couldn't help but feel her legs go weak.
"I'll resign tomorrow." Lin Chu exhaled. "Even if you saw me today, Yao Xingzhi might apologize to me, but he wouldn't dare to let the company make things difficult for me. But You Weiwen is the brother-in-law of our company's boss. Even if he knows what he did, the boss won't do anything to him. If I continue to stay in the company, You Weiwen might make things difficult for me. Moreover, I'll definitely fail my internship scores, so why should I waste my time there? Moreover, even if he doesn't do anything to me, I'm disgusted enough to face that group of people. "
"Aren't you afraid that he'll write something bad in your file so that you won't be able to find a job?" Yan Beicheng glanced at her as he drove.
Her side profile was very quiet. Even though she was talking about such an infuriating topic, she still looked calm and beautiful. On this night, she was like the first snow that was being shone by the sun, warm but not yet melted.
White and beautiful, quiet and beautiful.
Lin Chu glanced at him and quickly looked away. She blushed and whispered, "Didn't you tell them that I'm your girlfriend tonight? I think they won't dare to write carelessly after using my connections to intimidate others. "
Her ears were a little hot, and she spoke faster. "Moreover, they'll probably lower their heads and keep me. But I don't want to. I don't actually have anything to do with you. Sooner or later, I'll be exposed if I stay there. Moreover, they're keeping me because they want to take advantage of you. You're kind enough to help me, so I can't let you get involved in that mess.
