Chapter 991: OK (1)
Lin Jiayi turned her head to look at Xia Shangzhou. In the past, she hadn’t paid much attention to him, but for some reason, she couldn’t help thinking about the past. Suddenly, she realized that there were many times when she would change her shoes, xia Shangzhou would crouch behind her and serve as a chair for her to sit on... she couldn’t remember exactly when this happened, but it seemed like a long time ago..
Seeing that the weight on his back wasn’t coming, Xia Shangzhou couldn’t help but turn his head around curiously.
Before his gaze could even touch Lin Jiayi’s upper body, Lin Jiayi had already snapped back to her senses. She quickly retracted her gaze and sat on his back before bending down to change into her shoes.
After she changed into her shoes and stood up, she turned to Xia Shangzhou and said, “Thank you.”
These two simple words made Xia Shangzhou, who was about to stand up, suddenly freeze on the spot.
After about half a minute, he stood up straight as if nothing had happened. However, the tip of his finger, which was twisting the cap of the mineral water bottle, was clearly still slightly trembling.
Thank you... to her, he was very clear about his position. He knew that in her heart, he was an employee, a subordinate, and an existence that should serve her. But today.., yet, she thanked him... those two simple words were enough to satisfy him for a long time.
After calming himself down, Xia Shangzhou walked over to Lin Jiayi and passed her a bottle of mineral water. “CEO Lin, have some water.”
After Lin Jiayi received the bottle, Xia Shangzhou bent down and picked up the heels Lin Jiayi had changed out of. “CEO Lin, let me take you home.”
Lin Jiayi, who had drunk half a bottle of water, put the cap back on the bottle before turning to Xia Shangzhou.
Xia Shangzhou didn’t know what he was panicking about, so he instinctively averted his gaze to avoid her gaze.
“MHM,”she replied softly before walking over to the car he had parked by the roadside.
Only then did Xia Shangzhou heave a sigh of relief. He hastened his footsteps and opened the car door for her.
“CEO Lin... do you want to go back to the old residence or your own residence?”Xia Shangzhou asked as he fastened his seatbelt.
“Let’s go back to my own residence.”
“Alright.”Xia Shangzhou paused for a moment, xia Shangzhou continued, “It’s your birthday today, and you didn’t go to the birthday banquet. Your family has been waiting for you for a long time, and they’ve called you many times. If you don’t want to go back to the old residence, why don’t you give them a call so that they won’t worry about you?”
After some thought, Xia Shangzhou felt that Lin Jiayi must be feeling terrible after running into Qin Ting Today, and Qin Ting didn’t remember her at all. If she were to call back to the old residence, she would surely be lectured by the elders at home, thus, he added, “How about... I give the old residence a call now?”
“Alright.”
After hearing Lin Jiayi’s reply, Xia Shangzhou didn’t say a word. Instead, he picked up his phone and dialed the old residence’s number.
“Hello, Old Mister Lin. This is Xiao Xia. Yes, I’ve found CEO Lin. She’s not feeling too well... it’s fine, it’s fine. You Don’t have to visit her anymore. I’ll send her back to rest...”
Hearing Xia Shangzhou’s voice on the phone with her grandfather, Lin Jiayi’s thoughts drifted further and further away.
In the past few years, she had been fine, but her family rarely talked about her. In the past two years, especially after she had Lin Shi’s little darling, her family had become more and more concerned about her. They said that she was already thirty years old, and she wasn’t even thinking about her marriage, they said that she didn’t know what she was busy doing outside all day..
