CHAPTER 379: CHAPTER 379: STOPPING BY TO PICK YOU UP

Whether or not Rong Qingqing would get annoyed with him was not within Shen Jue’s area of consideration.

After getting in the car, Shen Jue coldly instructed Lin Bufan to head to the book café.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Lin Bufan frequently glanced back at Shen Jue, looking like he had something to say but couldn’t.

He opened his mouth, then closed it again, repeatedly.

Finally unable to hold back, he asked, "Boss, are you going to pick up Miss Qingqing in person?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jue chuckled, "Pick up? Make her feel too important."

Shen Jue corrected Lin Bufan’s wording, "I’m going to bring her back."

Lin Bufan responded with an "oh," sneaking another glance at Shen Jue, and muttered softly, "Looking at your face and your demeanor, anyone who doesn’t know might think you’re catching someone in the act."

"..." Shen Jue rubbed his forehead, "Lin Bufan, if you want to go on a business trip to Africa for a year and a half, just keep talking, feel free to say more."

Lin Bufan understood the threat implied and swiftly closed his mouth.

More than half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the book café.

From the parking lot in front of the book café, Shen Jue could see through the large floor-to-ceiling window that Rong Qingqing and that teacher were talking about something, their heads practically touching.

Both of them had paper and pen in hand, writing something unknown, and after a while, Rong Qingqing looked up at the boy opposite her, smiling.

On a closer look, the smile even had a hint of smugness.

Shen Jue’s face turned a few shades darker.

For several days, she had been cold and distant towards him, even avoiding him.

But sitting with another guy, her face nearly glued to his.

Laughing as if it costs nothing, laughing desperately, as if laughing a few more times could make her money.

Now Shen Jue didn’t even want to get out of the car.

He just sat in the car and then took out his phone to call Rong Qingqing.

He sat in the car, watching Rong Qingqing glance at her phone, then with visible disdain on her face, she reluctantly picked up his call.

"Do you know what time it is now?" Shen Jue asked directly.

"If I didn’t know, were you planning to be my personal clock?" Rong Qingqing retorted more sharply than Shen Jue, "Can you talk nicely? If not, I’m hanging up."

The tone of her last word nearly drove Shen Jue mad.

"..." Shen Jue gritted his teeth, his eyes almost drilling through the glass window.

"I happened to be passing by to pick you up." Shen Jue said, "Just finished my work and saw you there, it’s getting late, come out and I’ll take you home."

"But I drove myself here." Rong Qingqing asked bluntly, "Where did you go that you could pass by the book café? Am I parked here, and you happened to pass by the parking lot?"

"Your car has been driven back to Shen Manor by the driver. Come out, I’ll take you home." Shen Jue didn’t intend to explain how he passed by from Shen Manor.

"Ah, you’re so annoying." Rong Qingqing complained on the phone, then got up and apologized to Teacher Lin, "Someone from home is here to pick me up, I’ll head back first, let’s meet again next time!"

Teacher Lin stood up, nodding, "It really is getting late; it’s my oversight. It’s not very safe for a girl to go back too late. Since someone from your family is here, I’m relieved, let’s meet again when you have time."

To be honest, Teacher Lin was somewhat reluctant to part.

He never thought that a relative of Shen Qiao would have the same interests as him.
