A Twisted Love Affair-Chapter 156: That tiny bit of pampering is too meager (1)_1
Her eyes suddenly felt even more fatigued.
Quite tired. Having stayed up late with him recently, her body was probably getting worse.
"Not answering? Someone is looking for you."
Zhou Luchen raised an eyebrow. "Who?"
Just as they were driving toward the security booth, a red sports car sped up and overtook them. It parked in front, and both cars were now stopped at the security boom gate at Yunding’s south side entrance.
Non-resident vehicles could not be identified.
The guard glanced over, then came out to knock on the other car’s window. There was no response. Yunding’s security was the strictest.
The young guard was always haughty towards outside vehicles and had no intention of letting them pass.
"If you’re not a resident, please make way. There’s a car behind you that needs to get through. Don’t block the road."
"Roll down your window. If you don’t move, we’ll call a tow truck."
The person in the other car completely ignored the guard. The car didn’t move an inch. Only the window rolled down, and a mature woman’s voice, cold in tone, said, "You might as well ask Zhou Luchen if he’ll let you tow it."
That was the person who had been incessantly calling Luchen’s phone.
Shen Jing glanced at Zhou Luchen. He was completely unflappable, his hand resting on the steering wheel, watching the car in front without blinking.
The road was wide.
The guard had no choice but to come over to their car and bend down to ask Luchen.
"Mr. Zhou, the owner of the car in front is refusing to move, which is a bit troublesome. I can open the exit lane for you. Could you please back up a little and drive through the exit lane?"
Shen Jing unbuckled her seatbelt and told the guard, "I’ll do it."
Zhou Luchen glanced at her. "Where are you going?"
Shen Jing took a deep breath. "Give me the wheel. I feel like ramming her car’s rear, alright? You want to play dirty, is that it? I’m much better at it than she is."
Zhou Luchen chuckled softly, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. He gestured from his position in the driver’s seat. "I’ll let you."
Shen Jing looked at his profile in the dim light. His attitude was always frivolous on the surface, making his emotions hard to read. Her idea of crashing the car... would that be okay? She thought it probably wouldn’t.
That woman was his ex-girlfriend, someone Luchen once cherished and protected dearly. Could he really let anyone bully his ex?
In front of Zhou Luchen, her thoughts shouldn’t be too naive.
So, she’d witnessed it now. Someone actually dared to stop their car right in front of Zhou Luchen. Wasn’t it the man himself who gave them such confidence? Wasn’t it this man who harbored a fickle heart, always ready to be partial?
"I guess I can’t afford to offend the chairman of Wei Group." Shen Jing pushed open the car door and got out, her eyelids heavy as she fought off sleepiness. "Just kidding. Maliciously hitting someone’s car is wrong. I’m a good citizen; I wouldn’t do such a thing."
"I’ve been staying up late with you a lot recently. I haven’t had proper sleep for days. I just want to get to bed and rest," she added.
Zhou Luchen gazed at her for a few seconds. "What, you like walking?"
Hearing his voice, Shen Jing’s breath hitched. She smiled, turned back, and said honestly, "It’s not that I like walking. I have a lot of packages that have been in the lobby for many days. Since I’m already so close to the main gate, I might as well pick them up on my way home."
Her sprained ankle hadn’t healed, and she limped as she walked into Yunding.
"Welcome home, Miss Shen."
Greeting her was the security guard’s usual, perfectly measured smile and daily greeting for residents.
Shen Jing nodded and smiled. The service really was excellent. No wonder the rich and powerful loved to buy properties here to house their mistresses.
The Bentley slowly followed her, entering the exit lane as well. Its distinctive diamond-cut headlights shone with immense brilliance, illuminating her stubborn, retreating figure.
She didn’t look back. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Zhou Luchen retracted his gaze and steered with one hand.
Making too much of a scene was pointless. Coaxing her once might be considered a bit of romantic playfulness between a man and a woman, but any more than that... He, Zhou Luchen, had never been the patient type when it came to dealing with too many of her emotions.
The Bentley’s engine roared as it sped past her and drove into the underground garage.
Watching the Bentley’s taillights, Shen Jing abruptly stopped in her tracks.
