After finishing his sentence, Gu Nianshen turned his back on Lin Yiqian.
Lin Yiqian felt helpless as she looked at his back.
Was he not aware that she was upset? How could he order her around like this in spite of that?
“Mr. Gu, you have so many chauffeurs. I don’t have time to send you off.”
As she spoke, she shifted to the gear to neutral to park the car.
She was not going to start driving if he did not leave the car.
“Stop messing around. I’m tired.” Gu Nianshen kept his back to her.
His voice was soft, almost sounding as if he were exhausted.
Lin Yiqian felt upset but helpless at the same time. She was upset with herself for not being firm enough and always giving in to his overbearing attitude.
As she bit her lower lip, she looked away from Gu Nianshen and shifted gears to begin driving.
After having driven for a short distance, Lin Yiqian thought Gu Nianshen must have fallen asleep as he barely moved or made a sound. She could not help but slow down. Even when approaching a traffic light that had turned red, she would begin decelerating from far away.
Her heart had unknowingly adjusted to the rhythm of this quiet atmosphere.
She wished things could stay like this forever.
Suddenly, the man next to her started complaining. “It’s too quiet. I can’t sleep.”
Lin Yiqian subconsciously turned her head to look at him. Gu Nianshen was now awake and he had taken his phone out.
In the midst of confusion, Lin Yiqian saw him extending a hand to the media controller in the center of the car.
Music began blasting out of the speakers.
Out of her occupational habit, Lin Yiqian began judging the style of the song as soon as the introduction of the song started playing.
It was a song she had never heard of before, but she was certain that it was a popular song on the internet.
Lin Yiqian was somewhat surprised that Gu Nianshen would listen to pop songs like this.
As the introduction was not very long, the singer soon began to sing.
‘Ever since we’ve started this family together, I know my responsibilities have grown. Day and night, I would protect her so that she would not be harmed by any wind or rain. Having a baby is our plan this year. Both of our parents hope for the same. It doesn’t matter to me if it’s a boy or a girl, as long as we have a complete family. My wife, I’m sorry for the trouble.’
“Huh???”
Everything sounded too straightforward in the lyrics. It was not that Lin Yiqian looked down upon the song, but she truly felt that it did not fit Gu Nianshen’s arrogant attitude.
However, as soon as she heard the phrase ‘my wife, I’m sorry for the trouble’, she could not suppress her reaction any further. With a confused look on her face, she turned to look at Gu Nianshen. Coincidentally, they had stopped at a red light at a junction.
Gu Nianshen had lifted his head and closed his eyes. Lin Yiqian could see his thick eyelashes, his pointed nose, and loosely closed lips.
He looked very calm.
Right then, the song had reached the bridge where the phrase ‘My wife, I’m sorry for the trouble’ was being repeated.
After it had repeated twice, Lin Yiqian could feel her heart pounding. She was beginning to think that this fellow was purposely playing the song for her.
However, she also knew that the possibility of this being the case was very low.
Whilst Lin Yiqian continued to stare at Gu Nianshen, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her.
As their eyes met, Lin Yiqian hurriedly shifted her gaze away from his face.
There were five more seconds until the traffic light turned green. Lin Yiqian held on tightly to the steering wheel. However, she could not help but steal glances at the passenger seat.
Gu Nianshen was still looking in her direction. In fact, his eyes peered as if he was laughing at something. There was a laid-back, almost lazy, quality to his facial expression.
‘What a monster!’ Lin Yiqian cursed in her heart as she released the brake and began driving.
Once the song ended, the introduction of another song began to play. Lin Yiqian looked forward to what this next song might be.
As she bit her lower lip, she began to pay closer attention to the song. However, she still could not figure out what song it was.
