C20 To Relax to Run into Each Other

"That's nothing," Bai Chu'an sneered. "It's getting late, and there aren't many cars at this time of the day. I'll drive you back."

Lin Xiaomu took out her phone and looked at it. Indeed, it was getting late. Usually, Shen Cheng would be asleep at this time of the day.

There weren't many cars around right now. Since she didn't need money to get a ready-made car, why not make one?

Lin Xiaomu nodded her head. "Okay, thank you very much."

She followed Bai Chu'an into the car. Bai Chu'an walked in front and opened the car door for her. He even reached out to block the car door so that Lin Xiaomu wouldn't accidentally bump into his head.

There was nothing to say on the way back. Many times, Bai Chu'an saw Lin Xiaomu's sleepy face in the backseat through the rearview mirror. He pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

In less than an hour, Bai Chu'an drove to the Shen Residence and parked outside.

When they were about to arrive, Lin Xiaomu seemed to have sensed something and woke up.

"Thank you." This was the most Bai Chu'an had said to Lin Xiaomu tonight.

"It's nothing."

After Lin Xiaomu got out of the car, he also got out of the car.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Bai Chu'an asked first.

He still had a gentlemanly smile on his face.

Hearing that, she thought for a moment and shook her head, "There's nothing going on at the company tomorrow. What's wrong?"

It was good that he was fine.

Bai Chu'an was relieved and said what he was going to say next.

"Why don't we go out together tomorrow morning to relax?" He looked at Lin Xiaomu with hope in his eyes. "Let's go together."

Lin Xiaomu opened her mouth to refuse, but Bai Chu'an, who was standing in front of her, seemed to know what she was thinking.

He immediately added, "This is just a gathering between friends. Don't worry."

He could still see some hesitation on Lin Xiaomu's face.

"If you don't agree to go, then you're not treating me as a friend," he continued.

She bit her lower lip and didn't say anything. The air between the two of them was filled with awkwardness.

"It's not that I don't think of you as a friend," Lin Xiaomu explained, hoping that Bai Chu'an wouldn't misunderstand.

He could guess what she was going to say next, but Bai Chu'an wasn't going to give her the chance.

"Of course I know. It's because we're friends that I want to take you out for a walk when you're in such a bad mood, right?" He smiled and said, "This is what friends should do."

After that, he waited for the silent woman to continue.

Lin Xiaomu thought for a moment. He was doing this for her own good. Indeed, he had not been in a good mood recently, so it was not a bad idea to do this.

She finally nodded. "Alright, what time tomorrow morning?"

When Bai Chu'an heard this, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, "You came back too late tonight. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, we will go to the town in the south to play. I heard that we can go rowing recently."

Slowly, he had new expectations for tomorrow's outing.

"Alright, I'll wait for you at the coffee shop on the south street at nine o'clock tomorrow morning," Bai Chu'an said.

"Alright, see you tomorrow." Lin Xiaomu waved at Bai Chu'an.

Bai Chu'an watched Lin Xiaomu until she disappeared from his sight. Only then did he come back to his senses and return to the car.

"Ha!" What neither of them noticed was a woman standing behind a big tree not far away, listening to the conversation between the two of them.

"Date? Ha!" The corner of Liang Xiaoluo's mouth raised as she revealed a disdainful smile.

She would definitely leave a deep impression on the date between the two of them.

After returning to the Shen Residence, Lin Xiaomu washed up and set an alarm clock before going to sleep.

The next day arrived as promised.

Lin Xiaomu woke up early to clean herself up.

Liang Xiaoluo also woke up early, but she stayed in her room and did not come out. She quietly listened to the movements outside.

Only when she heard the sound of the door closing did she get up and clean herself up.

She went to the kitchen and personally cooked some snacks.

"Knock knock." Someone knocked on the study door.

Shen Cheng sat on the swivel chair and stared at the computer screen with a heavy expression on his face.

"Uncle Shen, can I come in?" Shen Cheng, who was sitting in the study, heard the voice and his expression changed.

"Yes."

Liang Xiaoluo only dared to walk in after hearing the answer from the person inside.

"You're up so early?" Shen Cheng threw a surprised expression at Liang Xiaoluo.

After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on the dessert in her hand.

"Uncle Shen, this is a snack I made. Try it!" As he spoke, he placed the plate on the desk.

He had a smile on his face every day.

Shen Cheng nodded his head to show that he understood.

He was very pleased and felt that the girl in front of him was more suitable for his good son than Lin Xiaomu, but Shen Sibai did not listen to him.

"Delicious, not bad." Thinking about it, he picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth. After eating, he gave Liang Xiaoluo a big thumbs up.

This was not the answer Liang Xiaoluo wanted.

She lowered her head and revealed an awkward expression.

"Uncle Shen, I want to go out for a while later." As he spoke, he carefully looked at Shen Cheng, who was sitting in front of him.

Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows. "Just go."

The meaning behind his words was that there was no need to report to him.

But this was also an invisible way to express the difference between him and Lin Xiaomu.

Lin Xiaomu rarely greeted Shen Cheng when she went out, especially today. He knew that Lin Xiaomu had gone out.

"Uncle Shen, it's Shen Cheng. He's sick." Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Shen Cheng's voice.

"Sick?!" There was a trace of shock in his voice.

"I'll come with you." He gathered up his things briefly on the table and turned to the man beside him. "You're coming with me."

"Alright, Uncle Shen." Out of Shen Cheng's sight, Liang Xiaoluo raised the corner of her lips and got the result she wanted.

Unfortunately, when the two of them came out, they were stuck in a traffic jam.

"Uncle Shen, I know a place close by. We'll be there soon." Seeing the traffic jam outside, Liang Xiaoluo quickly said.

"Alright." As she spoke, she gave the driver in front of her a look.

Liang Xiaoluo told the driver the method.

"Uncle Shen..." Pretending to be careless, he turned his head and saw two people standing outside the coffee shop.

When he heard the sound, Shen Cheng turned to look at her. At the same time, he also noticed the situation outside.

In an instant, his eyes seemed to be on fire.

"Uncle Shen, maybe Sister is just friends with that person."

These words were incredible.

Ordinary friends? How could they do this?

From their point of view, it just so happened that Lin Xiaomu, who was standing not far away, was standing there. Bai Chu'an reached out to touch her head, and Lin Xiaomu reached out to hold his hand.

The atmosphere was especially ambiguous in an instant.

It really didn't take much effort to get it.

In fact, it wasn't what they thought. Lin Xiaomu didn't want to be too close to Bai Chu'an, so she waved her hand. From the car, it looked like she was testing the edge of intimacy.
