Lin Yuwen seemed to understand what her words really meant, and her face went dark.

“I really do hope so. If you are still harassing him, don’t blame me for retaliating!” Lin Yuwen left with the elderly Chengs after leaving this threat.

Lin Chu sat down without really taking the situation to heart. Cheng Ziming no longer has a place in her heart, which naturally meant that there was no cause for any sadness nor distress.

She was not sure why, but other than the days when she found out about the truth and the engagement banquet, she had not really thought about Cheng Ziming. Unlike before, she was no longer able to emote any emotions over him.

Strangely enough, it was Yan Beicheng’s face that flashed through her mind. Her earlobes burned as if his breath was brushing against her skin.

Lin Chu shook her head vigorously. Why was she thinking about him for no good reason?

She rubbed her arms and signaled a waiter to bring the bill. It was all thanks to Yan Beichang tonight that she was able to make an easy escape from You Weiwen and Yao Xingzhi or she would have been taken advantage of. She should be buying Yan Beicheng a meal.

She was worried about being misunderstood as trying to get into Yan Beicheng’s good books, especially with the status he has. She wanted to take the opportunity to secretly pay the bill.

“Hi, Madam, the gentleman who came with you had already settled the bill,” said the waiter politely.

Right at that moment, Yan Beicheng brought Yan Ningbai back. Yan Ningbai skipped towards his seat and continued feasting on the ribs.

Yan Beicheng gave the waiter a look and he left with a smile.

“… Hoho, it’s all thanks to you tonight, Master Yan, for helping me out. I wanted to buy you this meal but you’ve already settled it first,” Lin Chu explained, struck by his elegant indifference and tried to butter up to him.

Yan Beicheng looked at her for a moment, and Lin Chu felt herself go numb all over, before nodding his head seriously and replied, “Next time then.”

Lin Chu, “…”

Was there going to be a ‘next time’?

…

While leaving after finishing their meal, Lin Chu did not bother to say anything about going her own way. It looked like Yan Beicheng was determined to see her home. If she had insisted on leaving on her own, Lin Chu felt that it would be a little hypocritical and annoying.

Yan Ningbai climbed into the backseat skilfully and into his safety seat, putting on the seatbelt on his own. Judging by the looks of it, Yan Beicheng’s granduncle must frequently leave Yan Ningbai in Yan Beicheng’s care.

While she was thinking about it, she caught sight of Yan Beicheng’s structurally perfect long fingers reaching over from the corner of her eyes. She panicked for a moment and remembered Yan Beicheng previously reaching over her to put on her seatbelt.

It was supposed to be a gentlemanly action, yet when he did it, it felt like he was a hooligan. He had no sense of politeness when it came to keeping a safe distance, not giving her the opportunity to hide from him.

Lin Chu did not hesitate and immediately pulled at her safety belt and buckled up swiftly before he had the chance to do anything.

Following the sound of the ‘click’ from the buckle, she heard Yan Beicheng’s taunting light laugh. Instinctively, Lin Chu turned towards him and found herself looking into his dark, faintly smiling eyes that were looking at her as his hands were still on the safety belt buckle. He looked like he was laughing at her for overthinking things when he had no intention of helping her with the seat belt.
