Chapter 1102: Chapter 1102: No Need for to Remind You Chapter 1102: Chapter 1102: No Need for to Remind You “Is that so? Just so happens to be on the way, quite a coincidence.”
Shen Shihan’s expression was unreadable; he rely glanced at Bai Man coldly, without a word.
A gust of evening breeze blew against Bai Man, lifting her strands of hair, and she suddenly didn’t know how to respond to Shen Shihan.
After so thought, she still tried to smile calmly, “My friend will co to pick up. If Young Master Shen is in a hurry, you can go ahead.”
“It’s a coincidence; I’m not in a hurry,” Shen Shihan said indifferently.
Bai Man looked at his cold and distant face, truly clueless about what this man was thinking.
But his car was blocking hers, and if he didn’t leave, she couldn’t move. She only had the option of enduring this stand-off in a place devoid of people!
“Is that so?” Bai Man said with a smile, “Is Young Master Shen heading to M City for business? It’s so late, you’re not going for a date, are you?”
“The sa as you, going to et a friend.”
Only then did Shen Shihan, who had been expressionless all along, curl the corners of his lips, the curve barely noticeable.
In the chilling night, his face bore no smile. This pseudo-smile made Bai Man feel scared. She had heard that this man was not one to be trifled with; there wasn’t a single good man in the Shen family.
“Miss Bai, aren’t you leaving yet? It’s getting late,” Shen Shihan added.
At this mont, Bai Man simply couldn’t refuse, and his imposing aura made her feel suffocated.
“How about Young Master Shen leads the way? I will follow after?” Bai Man suggested.
Right now, she was really in a predicant and couldn’t find any reason to rebut Shen Shihan.
This man was like the fog in the night, truly elusive!
“Possibly.”
Shen Shihan hooked his lips toward Bai Man before restarting the car and turning the steering wheel.
Bai Man had nothing to say. Fortunately, she had friends in M City. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to maintain today’s lie.
When Shen Shihan turned the steering wheel, the car window was still open. He stared into Bai Man’s eyes for several seconds, his gaze as icy as the frost in December.
He spoke lightly, “Miss Bai, it’s very late, and as a young lady, you should know what things to do and what not to do, without reminding you.”
Bai Man’s heart tightened; Shen Shihan quite obviously had a hidden aning in his words. Could it be that he knew about her plan to et Xu Chaomu in Jin City?
Xu Chaomu in Jin City, just how many people knew about that?
But five years ago, to compete against Shen Chi for that diamond mine contract in South Africa, Shen Shihan didn’t hesitate to kidnap Xu Chaomu.
What exactly were Shen Shihan’s feelings for Xu Chaomu? Did he consider Xu Chaomu a sister, a pawn, or sothing else?
n of the Shen family, each one harboring their own secrets, Bai Man knew that with her intelligence, she couldn’t possibly guess what they were thinking!
“Then I must thank Young Master Shen for his kind warning. However, I’ve also heard a saying: mind the business you should, but stay out of what you shouldn’t, lest it brings trouble upon oneself,” Bai Man said coldly.
Shen Shihan didn’t speak again, only looked down at the watch on his hand and hooked his lips, “It’s nearly four o’clock, the day will break soon.”
Bai Man glanced at Shen Shihan, gritted her teeth, didn’t say anything more, and returned to her own car.
Seeing her get into the car, Shen Shihan closed his car window and stepped on the gas to drive off.
At this ti, Bai Man had no other strategy but to follow Shen Shihan’s car.
The two cars, one after the other, drove in the direction of M City.
When they reached the boundary of M City, Shen Shihan finally hit the brakes and parked the car in a parking lot.
“Miss Bai, I have arrived, please do as you will,” Shen Shihan made a phone call, “It was very pleasant to have your company on the way.”
By now, the sky had begun to lighten, the east adorned with a faint fish-belly white.
The morning air was unusually fresh, and as Shen Shihan rolled down the car window, the breeze carried wafts of floral fragrance to his nostrils.
Bai Man had been brought to this place by Shen Shihan, and upon checking the ti on her phone, she had already missed Xu Chaomu’s flight. By now, Xiao Mo’s people had likely escorted Xu Chaomu ho in secret.
This Shen Shihan, really holding things up!
Bai Man clutched her phone, too annoyed to utter a single word.
“Miss Bai, I won’t keep you any longer, go have your date with your friend. The evening is pri ti, best fit for dates.”
Shen Shihan, as usual, spoke with double anings, more like a reminder.
“Third Young Master Shen, I also wish you a pleasant date. Since the evening is suitable for dates, then in the future, I hope you don’t accompany .” “You would have more ti to spend with beautiful won, wouldn’t that be better?”
“You’re right,” Shen Shihan answered half-heartedly.
“Hung up.” Bai Man said irritably.
Having said that, she hung up the phone imdiately, without another word to Shen Shihan.
Annoyed, she stepped on the gas pedal and drove forward.
M City and Jin City are in the opposite directions; it was soon to be daylight, and she had no way to rush to M City now!
This Shen Shihan, what exactly did he know?
And Shen Chi, did he know Xu Chaomu was in Jin City?
Watching the direction in which Bai Man’s car disappeared, Shen Shihan’s face was still as serene as spring water reflecting pear blossoms, calm and mild.
Resting both hands on the steering wheel, he looked ahead, silent and still.
The sky was pitch black, with the twinkling Venus visible in the distance, like a bright eye in the endless night sky. Wisps of clouds, light and delicate, seed to entwine countless thoughts, now hidden, now visible.
At that mont, he rembered a sunny noon five years ago, beside the bus stop, a little girl tiptoed and hugged him.
There’s a kind of smile, like peach blossoms at the tip of a branch, that can brighten an entire spring day.
Leaning back in the driver’s seat, he watched the direction of Bai Man’s departing car, and it wasn’t until her car had vanished from sight that he quietly closed his eyes.
…
anwhile, in the opposite direction, in Jin City, after the plane had landed, Xu Chaomu walked along an empty road, luggage in hand.
Xiao Mo’s people had co to pick her up and escorted her ho.
As soon as she arrived ho, Xu Chaomu made a call to Xiao Mo.
“Xiao Mo, have you slept?”
“You arrived?”
“Yeah, I’m ho now, see, you might have been worrying needlessly,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile.
“Maybe,” Xiao Mo’s voice carried a hint of tiredness.
“I’m sorry for keeping you up all night. I’m ho now; you should get so sleep, or maybe take the day off tomorrow.”
“I’m fine, I’m used to it,” Xiao Mo said. “It’s good that you’re safe.”
“Yeah, everything’s fine here.”
Xiao Mo paused for a few seconds before adding with a heavy tone, “About Xiaobao’s situation, have you thought about what to do? When will you return to A City?”
“I thought it over on the plane…” Xu Chaomu’s voice was a bit downcast, “How about I go see him first and, after I finish things up in A City, I’ll bring him back…”
“That’s fine,” Xiao Mo nodded.
In fact, he also really didn’t want to part with the little guy.
