When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 247: Sheng Jianan’s Protection (7)

Leaving Shengtang City, Tang Ruhai found an excuse to leave first. Tang Yanqi wondered if she was being sensitive, as she felt that when Tang Ruhai bent down to get in the car, he gave her a thoughtful glance.

Tang Yanqi lowered her eyes and after a moment, looked at the man beside her. Sheng Jianan’s eyebrows still maintained that wild look, as if he didn’t care about the whole world.

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Tang Yanqi would never have believed that there could be such a person in this world who could perfectly blend "arrogance" and "meticulousness."

Tang Yanqi’s hand was in her pocket, tightly holding the white phone that Sheng Jianan had just given her. In her eyes, he shone brighter and brighter, yet also became more and more unattainable.

Immersed in her thoughts, Tang Yanqi didn’t even notice when Sheng Jianan turned his head. It wasn’t until she heard the man’s magnetic voice above her that she snapped back to reality.

"What are you daydreaming about? Let’s go."

As he spoke, Sheng Jianan naturally took Tang Yanqi’s hand and led her to the car. She lowered her head and followed him, fastening her seatbelt obediently once inside. She didn’t ask where Sheng Jianan was taking her; her mind still lingered on how the man had just defended her.

Sheng Jianan’s voice reached her ears, and Tang Yanqi instinctively nodded in response, even though she hadn’t heard a word he said until he mentioned, "I’ll handle the school, don’t worry."

Hearing the words "school" and "handle," Tang Yanqi snapped back to attention and turned her head, "Handle... what?"

As they hit a red light, Sheng Jianan stopped the car and turned to look at the innocent face beside him. Young Master Sheng’s temper flared—he had been excitedly talking all this time, and this woman hadn’t listened at all?

Frowning, Sheng Jianan grabbed Tang Yanqi by the back of the head, leaned down, and bit her lip before quickly releasing her. He squinted his eyes and said, "Tang Yanqi, if you dare to space out while I’m talking again, I’ll bite you to death."

Tang Yanqi winced from the pain, touching her bitten lip, about to retort. But under Young Master Sheng’s intimidating gaze, she reluctantly swallowed the words "Are you a dog?" back down.

She shrank her neck and muttered to herself; she wasn’t thinking about nonsense—she had been thinking about him. So does that mean he’s nonsense? Who says that about themselves?

Amused by her own thoughts, Tang Yanqi subconsciously curved her lips.

The light changed, and Sheng Jianan, not noticing Tang Yanqi’s little gesture, started the car and drove off. Remembering that she hadn’t heard what he said earlier, the ever-concise Crown Prince spoke again, "Next Friday, accompany me on a trip to the United States."

This time, Tang Yanqi heard clearly, and her eyebrows instantly furrowed.

To the United States? With him?

After a few seconds of silence, Tang Yanqi shook her head, "Sorry, I have plans next week."

"Plans? What plans?"

Sheng Jianan’s tone was extremely displeased. Are you kidding? He invites someone, and instead of being grateful, they calmly refuse? How can he be happy?

"Something happened at Bingbing and Xiao Xue’s families. We agreed to go back with them to take a look and maybe travel too."

Though Miss Tang is always eager to save money, she’s glad to accompany her friends home. Firstly, they can really travel, and secondly, since it’s their invitation, she wouldn’t refuse.
