That day, after the delivery was finished, everyone noticed the absence of the familiar delivery person and began to wonder if that unknown admirer had given up.
By six in the afternoon, Yun Li got off work and walked out with a few colleagues. Jiang Shiyu leaned against the car door and immediately straightened up upon seeing Yun Li.
Yun Li noticed her but pretended not to and walked towards the subway station with her colleagues. Jiang Shiyu stepped forward and blocked her path.
The other girls' eyes lit up at the sight, exchanging glances with each other, thinking this must be the generous and considerate admirer! So handsome!
"I'll give you a ride," Jiang Shiyu offered.
Yun Li averted her gaze and declined, "No need."
She tried to walk around him, but Jiang Shiyu blocked her again. The others saw this and quickly distanced themselves, saying, "Sister, we’ll head out first. Bye!"
After they left, the two stood face to face. Jiang Shiyu spoke again, "The director misses you."
"Stop using the director as an excuse; I don't want to hear it," she replied expressionlessly.
Jiang Shiyu looked at her with a hint of melancholy in his eyes. Just then, He Lin Cheng's voice came from behind: "Yun Li, let me give you a ride home!"
"It's just right for you to test drive; you haven't driven in a while, so you'll be a bit rusty."
Yun Li agreed, "Okay."
As she walked towards He Lin Cheng, Jiang Shiyu reached out and grabbed her arm. "You can't go!"
Jiang Shiyu felt an inexplicable panic; He Lin Cheng was different from the others. With so many people around her, he feared that Yun Li might actually develop feelings for him.
Yun Li simply pulled her arm away without giving him a glance and walked off.
She took He Lin Cheng's car keys and sat in the driver's seat. As she inserted the key into the ignition, she felt a bit nervous. "Senior, are you worried I might crash your car?"
He Lin Cheng tightened his grip on the overhead handle. "Crashing isn't an issue; there's insurance. Just don't hit anyone."
"Don't be nervous; relax," he reassured her.
But seeing him grip the handle so tightly only made Yun Li feel more anxious.
She took a deep breath and exhaled. Before she could start the car, a sudden impact hit her, not heavy, but the sound startled Yun Li, leaving her frozen in her seat.
Everyone turned to look as a large black truck crashed directly into the rear of a BMW. Both the back of the car and the front of the truck were dented.
Yun Li opened the car door and got out, her brow furrowed tightly as she strode over. Jiang Shiyu also got out with a serious expression, slamming the car door shut behind him.
"Are you crazy? Can you not be so inexplicable?" Yun Li shouted.
She usually had a good temper, so much so that she rarely lost her cool, but today she was truly pushed to her limits. If she had started the car and he crashed into her without controlling his speed, it could have easily led to an accident.
He Lin Cheng's expression was also grim. "Jiang Shiyu, even if you want to cause trouble, you should consider everyone's safety."
Of course, Jiang Shiyu knew that and had controlled his strength accordingly. He didn’t bother to look at He Lin Cheng but fixed his gaze stubbornly on Yun Li. "You’re not allowed to go with him."
Yun Li was furious and pushed him hard; Jiang Shiyu stumbled back two steps but still kept his eyes on her.
"Senior, I'm sorry for causing you trouble today," she said, feeling responsible for the situation.
"You didn’t crash into my car; there’s no need for you to apologize. It’s whoever’s fault it is," He Lin Cheng replied.
After he said this, Jiang Shiyu chimed in, "You’re right; it’s whoever’s fault it is."
"Give me your silver card number."
He Lin Cheng didn’t hesitate and recited a string of numbers. Jiang Shiyu took out his phone and operated it. "Alright, I’ve transferred it to you."
Yun Li apologized to He Lin Cheng again; she felt overly polite while He Lin Cheng didn’t know what to say in response.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shiyu leaned against the car with his arms crossed, a smile on his lips as he watched Yun Li, as if she were his own wife.
Once the car was towed away, Yun Li and He Lin Cheng had no choice but to take the subway home. Jiang Shiyu followed closely behind them.
