Shang Sizhan heard a satisfactory answer. He let her go and did not continue. The two got into the car.
Li Feng’s face remained indifferent. It was like he got used to such a scene.
Jiang Manxi stared at the car that gradually drove and disappeared. Anger and hatred impregnated her being.
“Shi Qian, I won’t let you off!!”
Shi Qian got into the car and took her phone out. She opened the game to ease her embarrassment.
Shang Sizhan has become increasingly disrespectful. He no longer considered the occasion, time, and place.
Li Feng was not the only one who had passed by just now. A few still passed by. Shi Qian still felt a little uncomfortable.
Shang Sizhan leaned back lazily. He looked at the girl’s still-red cheeks. He reached out and pinched them. He teased. “Why is your face still red?”
“Master Zhan, I suddenly feel like I said something wrong this afternoon.” Shi Qian glanced at him from the side and suddenly said.
“What did you say wrong?” A hint of doubt flashed in Shang Sizhan’s eyes. “You’re quite thick-skinned too. You’re on par with your friend Beiming Yue!” Shang Sizhan finally understood what she meant. He chuckled and spoke evilly. “You found out a little late.”
Shi Qian was bereft of speech.
Shi Qian could not say anything else other than defeat.
Hence, she silently retracted her gaze and continued to play.
Then, Shang Sizhan suddenly said, “Speed up, drive faster.”
He was talking to Li Feng.
“Okay,” Li Feng replied and sped up.
Shi Qian looked up at Shang Sizhan again.
Shang Sizhan looked at her with a devilish face and a faint smile. There was a touch of heat in his dark eyes.
Shi Qian was too familiar with his gaze and subconsciously gulped. Then, she lowered her head and continued to tap her phone screen. Her mind went blank.
Li Feng took less than 20 minutes to return to the King’s Garden. That was supposed to take 40 minutes.
The two had just returned to the room when Shang Sizhan hugged Shi Qian and asked in a low voice, “Qianqian, is it over?”
Shi Qian naturally understood what he meant and nodded slightly.
Shang Sizhan’s thin lips curled up slightly. Then, he scooped her up with his big hand and carried her to the bathroom.
Jiang Manxi went to Jiang Ci’s manor.
She got out of the car in a daze.
Jiang Ci and Huo Fei sat on the sofa in the central lounge area of the living room. They played games on their phones.
“Where did Sister Qian go?” Huo Fei suddenly asked. He just played one round and left!”
Jiang Manxi walked into the living room and heard Huo Fei call Shi Qian ‘Sister Qian.’ She found this even more ironic.
She had never liked Huo Fei. He came from a small family, to begin with. To please Jiang Ci and benefit the Huo Family, he lowered himself.
One couldn’t compare him to the four great families, but he was still a young master of a wealthy family. Huo Fei had a reputation in Hillford. But he lowered his status and called that lowly woman sister. He embarrassed the Huo Family!
“Hello, Miss Jiang,” Huo Fei greeted her politely when he noticed Jiang Manxi. Jiang Manxi would have given Jiang Ci a perfunctory regard.
She was in a terrible mood today. She didn’t even want to give the family friend a response. She didn’t even look at Huo Fei. She approached Jiang Ci and said, “Jiang Ci, I have something to tell you.”
Huo Fei no longer spoke. Jiang Manxi ignored him.
Miss Jiang had always looked down on people from small families like them and had always been disinterested. Huo Fei could see that she did not care.
Jiang Ci looked down at his phone. He paused for a while before he looked up at her. “Huo Fei said hello to you.. Didn’t you hear him?”
