Shang Yinghan’s lips curled into a smile. He was in a good mood, then.

It looked like he was teasing her, and that he found her fearful reaction very satisfying.

Ten minutes later, the car slowly made its way into Heting.

The Wen family’s villa was in Heting village.

Seeing that they were heading to the Wen family’s villa, Wen Qing began to panic and hurriedly shouted, “Secretary Chen! Secretary Chen!”

“What is it, Ms. Wen?” Chen Jian drove slower.

Wen Qing leaned forward and stretched out her hand. “We’re not far from my house. It’s just a short walk. Since you’re in a hurry, you don’t have to send me to the door. Please pull over right here.”

She was afraid that he would dismiss her concerns about troubling him.

If her parents found out that Shang Yinghan had sent her home, she would not be able to explain herself.

Although Chen Jian slowed down the car, he did not agree to her request. He had to listen to Mr. Shang.

He was just an employee, and he was afraid of offending both Mr. Shang and the future Mrs. Shang. What if Mrs. Shang bore a grudge against him because of today’s events? What if she tried to sabotage his career during a pillow talk with her soon-to-be husband?

This was too difficult!

“Sir.”

Wen Qing realized that the car was not stopping. She understood that Secretary Chen would only listen to Shang Yinghan’s instructions. She looked at Shang Yinghan with a pitiful gaze.

However, Shang Yinghan ignored her this time.

There was no other way. The car was about to enter the compound of her family’s villa. Wen Qing could not care less about maintaining a cool demeanor. She grabbed the corner of Shang Yinghan’s suit. “Sir, can you ask Chen Jian to stop the car? I beg of you.”

“Who, me?” He gave her a sideways glance.

Wen Qing said, “Please… I beg you, sir.”

“Say it again,” Shang Yinghan said.

“Please,” Wen Qing said bitterly.

Then, Chen Jian suddenly stepped on the brakes.

Wen Qing was only holding onto a corner of Shang Yinghan’s suit. She kept her distance from him. However, when Chen Jian hit the brakes, Wen Qing’s body lurched forward, and her head hit the back of the seat.

She was not wearing a seatbelt. She had not been expecting Chen Jian to slam on the brakes so suddenly.

She thought she was about to embarrass herself.

However, at this moment, she felt a tight grip on her waist. Shang Yinghan gripped her waist firmly, keeping her in place.

By the time she reacted, she was already sitting on Shang Yinghan’s lap, leaning against his chest.

This was such a questionable position.

Her heart was beating wildly as Shang Yinghan’s voice rang in her ears, “Are you hurt?”

Wen Qing turned and saw Shang Yinghan’s face.

She was stunned for about five seconds. Then, she tried to move back to her seat as she said, “No, I’m fine.”

His hand was still on her waist. He was holding her tightly and refusing to let her move away. “Do you want to fall?”

Wen Qing wanted to speak, but there was a lump in her throat. She felt that this was extremely awkward. Her gaze suddenly fell on the faded scratch marks by his neck. This triggered a memory from last night. Her face became warm, and she immediately forced herself away from him.

She was back in her seat now, but she was angry about what Shang Yinghan had just done.

It was so questionable!

Chen Jian stopped the car and turned around. “I’m sorry, Ms. Wen. A child ran across the street. Are you okay?”

Wen Qing did not see what had happened, so she could only accept Chen Jian’s explanation. “I’m fine,” she said.

Shang Yinghan glanced at her and said, “Weren’t you getting out?”

Wen Qing took too long to react. She swore that she was only like this in front of Shang Yinghan. She was not normally like this.

She got out and turned to close the door.

“Wen Qing.”

Shang Yinghan called out to her. His voice was so gentle that Wen Qing found it beautiful. The tenderness in his voice made her think that he loved her very much.

Wen Qing patted her head. Nonsense!

She did not interact with Shang Yinghan very often. Every time he was around, she would hide. Strangely, despite that, she always ended up running into him.
