Lin Yan didn’t wait too long before Pei Yucheng stopped working for the night. He picked up his blazer and left the office with her.
Both of them sat in the car and had a casual conversation.
“How has everything been lately?”
“Everything is good. After Meeting One’s Match, everyone’s impression of me has improved and I’ve received more offers. After all, I’m managed by Summit Entertainment now. With JM Corporation backing it, even Triumph Entertainment won’t be able to do anything to me!
But recently, I’ve been heavily discussed online and Sister Ling thinks that it’s unwise to let this happen in the long run. Hence, she didn’t accept any job offers for me. I will only start to work in a few days…”
Pei Yucheng, whose head was askew, listened intently to her every word as though she was talking about something important. He merely asked a question once or twice.
“You seem busy recently,” commented Pei Yucheng offhandedly.
Lin Yan’s heart clenched in her chest as she said carefully, “I was busy with my grandfather’s team… That’s why I was busy…”
“Do you need my help?” Pei Yucheng asked.
Lin Yan blinked in response. “Ahem… Mr. Pei… Do you dislike racing?”
Although Pei Yucheng had gone to watch her competition previously, she was aware of his attitude towards racing. Hence, she was still rather worried.
Pei Yucheng didn’t deny it. “I don’t like it indeed.”
Indeed…
Lin Yan swallowed her saliva, feeling nervous. Meanwhile, Pei Yucheng pressed on swiftly. “However, I like whatever you like.”
Lin Yan was speechless…
Cheng Mo, who was driving, was also rendered speechless…
…
When the car was about to reach the mansion, Pei Yucheng asked abruptly, “Do you want to go for a walk?”
Lin Yan was momentarily stunned before she nodded eagerly. “Okay!”
Cheng Mo pulled over at the side of the road and got out to open the door for them. Lin Yan and Pei Yucheng got out.
The night was serene and quiet as Lin Yan and Pei Yucheng strode side by side on the path in the moonlight.
Lin Yan inhaled a copious amount of air as she raised her head to admire the stars shining through the gaps of the leaves and branches. “Wow! It feels good to come out for a walk at night.”
“Yeah.” Pei Yucheng grunted softly while he naturally extended his huge hand to hold the girl’s slightly cold hand.
Lin Yan, who was startled by his action, bowed her head to glance at their interlocked hands. Her cheeks flushed red and turned hot.
The night breeze ruffled their hair and Lin Yan unconsciously shuddered.
Pei Yucheng glanced at the girl briefly before he placed her hand into his pocket.
Instantly, Lin Yan felt her cold hand get enveloped entirely by Pei Yucheng’s warmth.
That warm, fuzzy feeling reached her heart and made it race violently…
She began to recall the results of her online search regarding what one should do in a relationship.
A part of the advice was to ‘put one’s hand inside one’s boyfriend’s pocket in the winter’.
She had found it silly at the time. Why should she place her hand in someone else’s pocket? Didn’t she have one?
Right now, enlightenment hit her suddenly…
Pei Yucheng studied the girl’s changing expressions and a tiny smile flitted across his lips.
However, that smile was fleeting.
It was a short path, so they reached the entrance of the mansion in no time.
Lin Yan was about to enter when Pei Yucheng halted in his tracks.
