But it was a good thing that he had the GPS. There were plenty of times when he was able to block her way..
After Xia Shangzhou hung up the phone, he turned to look at Lin Jiayi and said, “I lied and said that you were sick. The old man was quite anxious, so I don’t think he’ll pursue the matter any further…”
Lin Jiayi nodded her head lightly and didn’t say anything else.
Xia Shangzhou also tactfully chose not to speak any further.
It was very quiet in the car. Leaning against the back of the car, Lin Jiayi closed her eyes to rest her mind.
Xia Shangzhou thoughtfully turned down the volume of the car radio and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner. After which, he stared straight ahead at the road and drove seriously.
When they passed by a traffic light, Xia Shangzhou was bored. He looked left and right before finally stopping at the reflection of Lin Jiayi in the rearview mirror.
Thinking about it carefully, it had been six years since he first met her, right?
In these six years, there wasn’t a single trace of time on her body… she was truly the favored daughter of the heavens, even the heavens were so kind to her.
At this thought, the corners of Xia Shangzhou’s lips couldn’t help but curl up slightly. He stared at Lin Jiayi’s eyes, and in an instant, his gaze turned extremely gentle.
But soon, the red light turned green. Xia Shangzhou hurriedly put away his thoughts and focused on driving once more.
Just as he was about to reach the entrance of Lin Jiayi’s neighborhood, Lin Jiayi opened her eyes.
She stared out the window thoughtfully for a moment before speaking up to break the silence in the car, “Navigator…”
Xia Shangzhou hummed in acknowledgement.
“I saw Qin listening to it today…”
After working together for so long, they had come to understand each other’s personalities more and more. On the other hand, Lin Jiayi had a few things on her mind that she would bring up to Xia Shangzhou.
The main reason was simple. Xia Shangzhou didn’t talk much and would listen to her attentively. After listening to her, he would forget everything that she had told him. There had never been a third person who knew of what she had told him, so she could be at ease with him.
“… but he doesn’t remember me anymore… but he didn’t die, so I’m really happy…”
Xia Shangzhou, who had witnessed the meeting between her and Qin, acted as if he didn’t know anything and listened to her silently.
“GPS, when he didn’t remember me, I was actually quite sad, but now that I think about it, it’s better than never seeing him again in this lifetime, right?”
“Do you think that the heavens are moved by me when I meet him now? This must be a chance given to me by the heavens, right? So, it’s not important that he doesn’t remember me…”
As Lin Jiayi spoke, she suddenly called out to Xia Shangzhou, “Navigator… Can You do me a Favor?”
Xia Shangzhou, who had been listening to her words the entire time, finally spoke up, “Go ahead.”
“I haven’t contacted Qin Ting in years, and I don’t even know what he’s doing or where he’s staying. The only thing I know is that he’s currently in Beijing. Since he’s with President Chen Tonight, I’m sure that President Chen has his contact information. Who knows, he might even know which hotel he’s staying at. Can you help me ask President Chen and ask him out tomorrow? “I want to see him again…”
Xia Shangzhou, who was driving, silently tightened his grip on the steering wheel after hearing Lin Jiayi’s words. However, the expression on his face didn’t change much. Three seconds passed after she finished speaking, then, with a calm and gentle tone, he said, “Alright.”
