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

Chapter 292: Birthday Banquet (Part 2)

Tang Yanqi’s face, which had just calmed down, flushed again. She didn’t even bother with what Sheng Jianan just said and nodded casually: "Whatever."

Sheng Jianan put his hand in his pocket, rubbing the small velvet box inside, with a slight smile on his lips.

Tang Yanqi buried her head in her food, not looking at the expression on the person opposite her. Her face was still burning, and she felt indescribably anxious. This feeling was truly unfamiliar, completely different from her usual calmness.

Finally finishing the meal, what surprised Tang Yanqi was that Sheng Jianan actually sent her back to school instead of the villa. But this was good; she needed to calm down. If she stayed with him any longer, she felt like she might explode on the spot.

The car stopped in the darkness near the side door. As Tang Yanqi unbuckled her seatbelt to get out of the car, Sheng Jianan suddenly held her shoulder, giving her a warm and brief kiss on the lips: "Good night, sleep well. I’ll pick you up at noon tomorrow."

Tang Yanqi nearly fled in a hurry, hardly listening to his words, opened the car door, jumped out, and walked quickly into the school.

Through the car window, Sheng Jianan watched Tang Yanqi’s back, his mouth unconcealed with a smile, feeling indescribably smooth, as if warm water washed over his skin, or like basking in the March spring sun, warmly cozy.

Not until Tang Yanqi’s figure completely disappeared from his view did Sheng Jianan slowly retract his gaze, took out his phone, and made a call to Zhou Chengze.

On the other side, Tang Yanqi walked a long way before glancing back. Sheng Jianan’s car was no longer in sight. She touched her face with her hand and let out a long breath.

She’s really becoming less and less like herself.

She was used to Sheng Jianan, who either mocked or disliked her, and accustomed to him treating her like an ordinary person with no special aversion or much favor.

But now Sheng Jianan... Tang Yanqi discovered that ever since he said he wanted her to have a child for him, Sheng Jianan either flirted with her or acted like a scoundrel.

It’s not that she dislikes it; she’s just not used to it or accustomed to it.

Or is it that a man’s attitude changes once he has a relationship with a woman?

Her thoughts were in disarray; she tried to stay calm and rational, but in this aspect, she had no experience at all, couldn’t see clearly, couldn’t figure it out.

Her steps gradually slowed, and after walking a bit more, Tang Yanqi suddenly let out a self-mocking laugh. Was she being paranoid?

Someone treats her well, and she finds it uncomfortable. Does she really need Sheng Jianan’s cold demeanor to feel normal?

Let it be a dream; no matter when she wakes, at least now, it is beautiful.

Returning to the dormitory, as soon as Tang Yanqi entered, she was instantly met with three pairs of eyes, each with mischievous smiles, even the always gentle and charming Bai Xue wore a teasing expression: "Tangtang, how could you bear to come back?"

As long as Sheng Jianan wasn’t present, Tang Yanqi could handle their teasing. She walked to her seat and sat down, her face calm: "I couldn’t bear it, but there’s no choice. This side has three people, you’re in the majority. As the saying goes, three cobblers with their wits combined exceed Zhuge Liang."

Bai Bing: "..."

Qi Cheng: "Tangtang, will you die if you’re not sarcastic for a day?"

Miss Tang looked innocent: "Is this sarcasm? Shouldn’t this actually be a compliment?"

The three fell silent. This... seems to indeed be a compliment.
