Chapter 1512 - 1512 Strange Gaze

1512 Strange Gaze
“My god, that was too scary!” The girls who had left the hospital shuddered violently when they thought of the scene in the ward just now. However much they sympathized with Yang Lan before was how terrified they were now, and they regretted coming to the hospital to see her.
“Yeah, it was too scary. By the way, Chen Ning, did you see Yang Lan’s rotting face just now? It’s so scary! I don’t think I can eat for the whole day!” The girl who said this was the one who had been the meanest to Gong Xinli. Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, she had nothing good to say.
As soon as she spoke, someone immediately echoed her.
Chi Shuyan and Gong Xinli didn’t speak. The latter didn’t want to talk about others behind their backs, while Chi Shuyan wasn’t interested in talking about Yang Lan at all, nor did she want to waste time on this.!!
“By the way, Shuyan, what did Yang Lan mean when she said you lied to her just now?” As the girls spoke, they felt less afraid and started gossiping again.
Chi Shuyan: …
Of course, she knew why Yang Lan said that she had lied to her and tricked her. It was none other than what she told her, intentionally or otherwise, about her rotten peach blossom fate improving soon.
In Yang Lan’s view, if Chi Shuyan hadn’t said that back then, she naturally wouldn’t have broken up with Feng Qin, and wouldn’t have ended up in such a state; she didn’t want to consider that if she didn’t have ill intentions, how could she have ended up like that?
It could only be said that people were sometimes too greedy!
But Chi Shuyan didn’t want to talk about this with the girls, nor did she want to gossip with them. It just so happened that she received a call at that moment. After answering the call, she found an excuse to part ways with the girls.
Gong Xinli was especially guileless and reminded her, “Shuyan, it’s been more than half an hour. Don’t forget the time, and don’t be late in the afternoon!”
Chi Shuyan smiled at her easygoing deskmate and hailed a taxi. Before getting into the car, she said goodbye to the other girls, then specially said to Gong Xinli, “I’ll leave first.”
They were all classmates. Although the girls were quite dissatisfied with her attitude, they usually saw each other all the time, so they wouldn’t really get into a conflict over a small matter.
When she got into the car, Chi Shuyan gave the driver the address and then rolled down the window to look outside. When she saw that her classmates were still gossiping as they slowly walked away, Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but sigh at how good it was to be a student at this age without a care in the world. Although she was about the same age, she had experienced too much and couldn’t be as naive and romantic as they usually were. Speaking of which, she occasionally felt a little envious.
But this envy only lasted for a moment. Chi Shuyan still felt that this life was very beautiful. While her relationship had fallen through, her father was still around and everything was going well. She was quite satisfied.
Ten minutes later, she arrived at a restaurant. It was a newly-opened restaurant with a unique layout, and was the classic Western restaurant.
As soon as Chi Shuyan entered, she went up to the second floor and saw Jing Hengran sitting by the window. Although she didn’t quite understand why he was suddenly looking for her, she guessed that it was most likely about the medicinal herbs and pills, or about the spirit tea. However, she had already received the money for the latter – could it be about the pill cauldron?
Chi Shuyan could still remember Jing Hengran’s pained expression when he found out that the Jing Auction House had given her an extraordinary pill cauldron for free.
If the other party really wanted her to return the pill cauldron… Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes dangerously.
The other party got up and warmly invited her to sit down. Compared with his previous aloofness, his attitude was very cordial this time. Chi Shuyan was still waiting for him to mention the pill cauldron, but who would have thought that after a long while, he didn’t say a word about it. Instead, his words and attitude were even more genial than before.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she had a cooperation with the other party, Chi Shuyan might have had other thoughts. However, given how the other party valued the pills she refined, it was normal for him to be a little more enthusiastic.
Soon after Chi Shuyan ordered, the waitress served Western food. Chi Shuyan hadn’t eaten lunch, so she was really a little hungry. She had never liked Western food. Compared with Western food, she liked Chinese food more as it could fill her stomach. She always felt that with Western food, no matter how much she ate, she wouldn’t be full, but eating it once in a while wasn’t bad.
Chi Shuyan cut a piece of steak and took a bite. It tasted pretty good, and her eyes lit up. She ate a few more mouthfuls in a row without the slightest bit of restraint. She almost forgot about the man in front of her who was eating with her. Noticing that the man’s gaze was fixed on her face, Chi Shuyan became a little more reserved as she ate the steak. She wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin. Seeing that the other party didn’t touch the steak even after a long while, she pursed her lips and said, “Why aren’t you eating?”
Jing Hengran took in the expression of the young lady in front of him and felt that she was especially cute. For a moment, even the pain at giving away the pill cauldron for free faded. He even felt that the pill cauldron had gone to the right person. As long as the young lady in front of him liked it, it was fine. Thinking this, Jing Hengran smiled very gently. “How is it? Does the steak in this restaurant taste okay?”
Chi Shuyan nodded. “It does!”
“Eat more!” Jing Hengran actually wanted to cut the steak for the young lady in front of him before putting it in front of her, but he was afraid that his actions would be too intimate and scare her off.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know what Jing Hengran was thinking at that moment. Seeing that he didn’t say anything else, she continued to eat her steak. When she was almost 70 to 80% full, she asked, “Young Master Jing, what matter did you suddenly have to discuss with me?”
Jing Hengran curled his lip and suddenly teased, “Nothing in particular – can’t I treat you to lunch?”
Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of it and nodded. “Sure! Of course! However, Young Master Jing, if you have nothing to discuss, I have to go back to school first!”
Chi Shuyan looked at the time as she spoke. Jing Hengran was almost done eating. After wiping his mouth, he smiled gently and took the initiative to say, “Okay, I’ll see you off!”
Given the other party’s resolute attitude, Chi Shuyan was polite and didn’t refuse. The two of them left the restaurant after lunch. Jing Hengran’s car stopped in front of the restaurant, and he opened the door like a gentleman and told her to get in.
Chi Shuyan nodded and walked over. She was about to get into the car, when she suddenly turned her head. Behind her was the tranquil and romantic restaurant, which had music playing. The customers inside were eating, and no one was looking in her direction. For a moment, Chi Shuyan wasn’t sure if she was thinking too much; it had felt like someone was watching her ever since she entered the restaurant earlier. She had turned to look several times before, and when she was eating, she looked out the window, intentionally or otherwise, but didn’t see anyone looking at her.
However, the feeling of eyes on her back was still there. Chi Shuyan frowned slightly. She looked around, but when she still didn’t see anyone suspicious, she got into the passenger seat.
In the car, Jing Hengran’s tone was still polite and gentle, and he sounded concerned. “What’s wrong?”
Chi Shuyan couldn’t tell the other party that she thought someone was watching her. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine!”
Fortunately, Jing Hengran wasn’t someone who asked questions. He had a gentle personality and wasn’t aggressive at all. He was especially considerate of people’s privacy and never pried. This was why smart people were especially easy to get along with. So far, Chi Shuyan felt that it was quite comfortable to interact with him occasionally.
“What time do you have class in the afternoon?”
“2:30!”
Jing Hengran was in a daze as he sent her to school. Speaking of which, he did have some feelings for the young lady next to him now, but she was still studying and had just entered university this year. Thinking this, Jing Hengran felt a little uncomfortable. He felt that he wasn’t sending the woman he was pursuing to school, but his daughter.
The young lady next to him quieted down and was very obedient. She took out her phone and buried her head in a game.
Jing Hengran: …
Although the young lady next to him was very young, Jing Hengran felt that she was quick-witted and straightforward in her dealings, and wasn’t the slightest bit awkward. When she was negotiating with him, he completely forgot her age. She was especially mature and steady, and didn’t have the naivety and romance of a young lady her age at all. Instead, she was calm and reserved, which was very attractive to him.
Jing Hengran liked to take things slow and find the right opportunity to act. Since he was sure that he was going to woo Shuyan, he naturally had to make a move. However, the young lady probably didn’t realize what he was thinking now. Jing Hengran paused when he saw her fair face out of the corner of his eye. He regained his composure. There was no hurry!
Half an hour later, Jing Hengran’s car stopped in front of the school. Chi Shuyan put her phone back in her pocket, unbuckled her seatbelt, and thanked him. She was about to open the car door and get out, when he got out and opened it for her like a gentleman.
Chi Shuyan smiled politely and was about to thank Jing Hengran, when she inexplicably felt a gaze on her back again, which made her feel very uncomfortable. Chi Shuyan turned her head warily and didn’t see anyone unusual. She frowned, her good mood slightly dampened, but she still forced a smile and said to Jing Hengran, “Thank you!”
