Chapter 181: Chapter 181
On the weekend, Tang Yanqi obediently stayed in the villa. To her surprise, Sheng Jianan also stayed in the villa, and whenever he went out, it was to visit Mr. Sheng at the hospital, naturally taking her along.
Tang Yanqi had never spent almost twenty-four hours with Sheng Jianan before. She was supposed to work at the Western restaurant on the weekend, but since the owner had to return to the hometown due to an emergency, the restaurant was closed temporarily, so she didn’t have to go.
Facing Sheng Jianan, Tang Yanqi still felt a bit awkward. Although Sheng Jianan no longer looked at her with the same enemy-like demeanor as before, their interactions seemed slightly more normal, yet Tang Yanqi still felt awkward. Read full story at noveⅼfire.net
Unexpectedly, Young Master Sheng seemed to be in some peculiar mood; when she was in the bedroom, he was too; when she was in the study, he was too. Even when Tang Yanqi went downstairs to get a glass of water, Sheng Jianan had a "I also want some water" posture.
This made the usually calm and composed Tang Yanqi a bit overwhelmed. Finally, she lifted her head from the computer, looked at Sheng Jianan with eyes as steady as possible, and asked, "Mr. Sheng, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Sheng Jianan raised an eyebrow, looking indifferent, "No."
Tang Yanqi wanted to ask why he kept staring at her, but she swallowed back the words halfway through. Asking such a straightforward question seemed a bit odd.
Sheng Jianan didn’t seem willing to let Tang Yanqi off the hook, his gaze fixed on her.
Tang Yanqi felt a bit cornered under such a gaze. There really are men like him in this world; they can be arrogant, can be childish, but yet they possess an air of surveying all living things.
Sheng Jianan’s gaze was deep and dark, like a black hole in the universe, absorbing everything in the world.
Tang Yanqi pursed her lips and, compelled by a strange impulse, asked, "Why are you always looking at me?"
Her voice was very soft. Just as the words fell, she heard Sheng Jianan chuckle lightly, "Tang Yanqi, aren’t you the one looking at me?"
The wild arrogance and domineering air in Sheng Jianan’s expression was apparent, his lips slightly curled in teasing unique to him, "If you weren’t looking at me, how would you know I was looking at you?"
Feeling speechless, Tang Yanqi lowered her head. How could she forget; this guy is really childish.
It seems not only childish now but also very shameless, blatantly lying.
Trying to block out the annoyance from Sheng Jianan’s gaze, Tang Yanqi forced herself to focus entirely on the materials about her graduation thesis on the computer.
On Monday, Tang Yanqi got up early to prepare to go to school. She had just finished getting ready and stepped out of the bathroom when she saw Sheng Jianan, already awake, standing in front of the mirror, tying his tie.
She had deliberately gotten up early, before seven, a time when Sheng Jianan usually was still asleep.
However, Sheng Jianan, as the CEO of Shengshi Group, was always busy, so Tang Yanqi didn’t think much of it, just went downstairs and ate a simple breakfast before heading out.
Just as Tang Yanqi reached the entrance to change shoes, she heard Sheng Jianan’s voice behind her, turned around and saw Sheng Jianan taking the packed breakfast from Mrs. Zhang and walking briskly toward her.
"I’ll drive you to school."
Tang Yanqi was a bit surprised, and through Sheng Jianan, she glanced at Mrs. Zhang standing not far behind him and seemed to understand something. Sheng Jianan was doing this for Mrs. Zhang, meaning for Mr. Sheng to see.
