The chauffeur also realized he was wrong and kept apologizing, hoping they would let him off the hook.

Chu Zhan spoke sternly, "Your actions have been seriously out of line, and you must accept the consequences. Just admit your mistake and pay the fine. I’ve remembered your license plate number, so don’t think about running."

"Yes, yes..."

The chauffeur walked away with a bitter face. What bad luck; he was really having a tough day.

"By the way, Nuannuan, forget about him, I want to say..."

Chu Zhan turned back, wanting to continue the topic from before.

Shi Nuan’s eyes darted left and right, pointing at the watch on her hand,

"Ah, it’s already evening, I have to go back and eat."

"..." Chu Zhan was unwilling, "No, Nuannuan..."

Shi Nuan urgently said,

"Coach Chu, I’m really hungry. Whatever you want to say, let’s postpone to another day. My home isn’t far from here, I’ll go to the front bus stop to get a ride back, bye-bye!"

"Hey, Shi Nuan!"

Chu Zhan’s confession of "I like you" stuck in his throat, watching Shi Nuan scurry away faster than a rabbit.

He really suspected whether the girl knew what he was about to say, so she hurriedly ran off?

Hmph, naive!

Think this way you can escape me?

Since you’ve made my heart flutter, you are destined to be my woman!

Screw all those uncles!

Shi Nuan ran straight home.

No choice, she was too tense.

As long as she thought of Chu Zhan’s burning gaze at the end,

and the words left unsaid, her little heart thudded incessantly.

She didn’t know what Chu Zhan meant to say.

It seemed related to her.

Moreover, she couldn’t hear it.

Hearing it might lead to suffocation.

While thinking silently, Shi Nuan had already entered the Shi Family home. Now it was evening, everyone had finished eating and returned to their rooms, the living room only had the servant.

After the last incident when Nianyang helped Shi Nuan save Shi Old Lady, Shi Nuan had more status at home than before.

"Hello, miss,"

Seeing Shi Nuan return, the servants greeted her obediently.

Shi Nuan nodded in response, gently planning to go upstairs back to her room.

When passing by the study, the door was open, and Lu Xingshen, wearing only a dark grey shirt, spoke in a deep voice, "Nuannuan!"

Shi Nuan’s poised leg instantly stiffened, she felt like a child caught playing by an adult.

She turned her head, scratched her chin, and smiled foolishly, "Second Uncle, why aren’t you asleep yet?"

"Come in."

Lu Xingshen’s expression seemed unpleasant, he said indifferently.

Uh-oh, uh-oh.

Shi Nuan drooped her face, not daring to defy her uncle’s request, meekly following inside and closing the door.

"Didn’t I call you to come back early, why are you so late?"

Lu Xingshen stood in front of the desk, his back straight. He wore a shirt with the top button undone, revealing pale skin and a beautiful collarbone.

He stood under the luxurious tassel lamp; the softly dim lighting naturally fell on him.

Shadow fell on his face and body, his features appeared particularly profound and three-dimensional under the light.

The corners of his eyes, neck, profile, all were appealing shadows.

Handsome enough to captivate anyone.

Yet the gaze of such a textured man was directly fixed on Shi Nuan, with hidden danger in them.
