When Shen Fanxing reached the ground level, the old madam and Lai Rong were waiting at the foot of the stairs, looking up nervously.
They were afraid that something bad would happen.
"Fanxing, you… finished your chat? Did that rascal bully you?"
Shen Fanxing felt the residual heat of the blood on her face. It left her at a loss of what to do.
"I'm fine, Grandma."
She lowered her head and tucked some stray strands behind her ears, trying to hide her awkwardness.
The old lady inched forward and scrutinized Shen Fanxing's every move. Then a meaningful smile widened slowly on her face.
Thereafter, she saw Bo Jinchuan's tall figure slowly appearing behind Shen Fanxing. Her smile disappeared and she snapped,
"Aren't you busy? Why did you come back?"
"Grandma, you don't want me to come back?" asked Bo Jinchuan with a tiny grin. His gaze swept past Shen Fanxing's shoulder and landed on the old lady.
"You rascal!"
The old madam hissed through gritted teeth, "It's time to eat!"
Sensing that Bo Jinchuan was getting near, Shen Fanxing scrambled away.
Seeing how Shen Fanxing was intentionally avoiding him, Bo Jinchuan smirked slightly before descending the stairs.
…
It was getting late after dinner.
Old Lady Bo was full of reluctance when Shen Fanxing wanted to go.
"Fanxing… why don't you stay here today? There are many rooms here… The innermost room on the second level has a really huge and comfortable bed…"
Shen Fanxing smiled helplessly and cut across, "Grandma, it's okay."
Why was this old lady so adorable?
She walked out of the manor with Bo Jinchuan following closely behind.
Standing at the entrance, Shen Fanxing looked at Bo Jinchuan and said,
"I drove here myself, you don't have to send me back."
"I'm worried. I'll drive you home. Yu Song will drive your car."
"Can I reject?"
"I reject your rejection. Give your keys to Yu Song."
He said as he pulled Shen Fanxing towards the Bentley.
Though he sounded casual, there was evidently no room for rejection.
What an overbearing man.
Like a gentleman, although he placed his hand on her waist, there was no hint of intimacy.
Shen Fanxing was well aware of the etiquette and manners involved, but the seemingly unintentional light grip on her waist made her rather uneasy.
Soon, they had reached the car. Bo Jinchuan naturally reached out and opened the car door for her.
He exerted some force on her waist and glanced at her casually, signaling her to get into the car.
Yu Song ran to her and stood respectfully beside them. Shen Fanxing hesitated for a moment before passing the car key to him.
"Sorry to trouble you."
"You're welcome, Young… Ms Shen."
After all that had happened today, the idea of Ms Shen as the future young madam had taken root in his heart.
He nearly got tongue-tied.
Shen Fanxing hadn't noticed. She lifted her head to look at Bo Jinchuan, who was still waiting for her, before getting into the car.
Bo Jinchuan closed the door and rounded the car.
Yu Song strode to Shen Fanxing's Volkswagen, unlocked the car and drove off first.
Bo Jinchuan drove slowly and trailed behind Yu Song.
The two of them didn't speak much throughout the journey. In fact, the events that happened in his room before dinner kept her occupied.
The presence of the man beside her was strong and Shen Fanxing turned her head to look at him unconsciously. Indeed, he was good-looking and everything he did was pleasing to the eye.
He sat there with his hands on the steering wheel.. Yet, his relaxed stance and beautiful exquisite eyes staring straight ahead were much pleasing to look at than anyone else.
