A warm sense of companionship could be felt between the two of them. The originally cold-faced Di Yanmo now looked much gentler.
Yan Yi was very taken aback by the sight. He felt very aggrieved. They looked so much like a golden couple while he was still a lonely, single man. A lonely single man! So hateful!
Although he was bawling inside, he was still a responsible and dutiful employee. Yan Yi quickly parked the car at the entrance and alighted to help his boss and madam boss open the door. But his boss got there first.
With his job stolen by his own boss, Yan Yi had no choice but to quietly remain seated behind the wheel. He kept his eyes fixed in front of him, not daring to witness any more of his boss' uncharacteristic behavior.
The low-key car soon disappeared into the streets. But a girl in light makeup remained standing at the entrance of the restaurant.
The girl stared after the car, a mocking expression spread across her face. She murmured disdainfully, "Ha, I thought she managed to hook up with some wealthy guy. So, he's just a poor loser. Ha! University A's school belle. She's nothing, after all!"
The girl's disdain grew as she recalled the man beside Lin Qianyi. That man's clothes were not branded at all, and she had never seen that car model before. It must be an inferior brand.
"Sisi, let's go. We need to go visit Baizhi." A girl was just about to board a car on the other side. She called out when she noticed Yao Sisi standing there unmoving.
…
Observing the increasingly unfamiliar-looking surroundings, Lin Qianyi glanced at Di Yanmo with a questioning expression. "This is not the way back to my house. It's so late now. Where are we going?"
Di Yanmo turned away from the window and gazed at her lovely egg-shaped face. "We're going home. Our home."
"Huh?" Lin Qianyi was stunned. She repeated, "Our home?"
"Mmm." Looking at her blank stare, Di Yanmo felt that she looked extremely adorable. He lifted his long fingers and pinched her tender cheek. Her soft flesh felt even better than it looked.
Lin Qianyi was even more stunned after being pinched. Her entire body stiffened. Apart from her mother, no one had ever pinched her cheek. Di Yanmo was the first.
From a young age, she had never liked too much physical contact with anyone. Even with other girls.
So… why didn't she dodge when Di Yanmo pinched her face? In fact, she didn't hate the feeling of his touch. Why was this?
Moreover, why did she feel a tinge of familiarity whenever he came near her? It was like she already knew him from before?
Lin Qianyi continued to ponder this but failed to come up with any reason. In the end, she attributed all these to her being seduced by Di Yanmo's beauty. She felt very amiable toward him.
As Lin Qianyi fell into deep thought, the car stopped in front of an elegant three-story villa.
Di Yanmo alighted and personally went over to the other side to open the door for her. A hint of exasperation flashed across his eyes when he noticed that she remained in a daze.
"Ahem…"
Yan Yi saw that Lin Qianyi was still sitting in the car in a daze, completely oblivious to his boss waiting for her to alight. As a result, Yan Yi risked his life to cough. He hoped it would snap the madam out of her trance.
Luckily, Lin Qianyi had just finished her deep pondering and heard him.
Awaking from her daze, Lin Qianyi finally noticed the long, slender hand in front of her. Her eyes traveled up that well-muscled arm to see Di Yanmo's impassive but extremely handsome face.
