Considering Tang Feng was about to participate in an exam, Qin Yanan kindly took on the role of driver.
Tang Feng was initially very touched.
But not long after hitting the road, Miss Qin began to doze off, several times nearly crashing into vehicles in the adjacent lane.
“Big sister, are you up for the job or not? I haven’t acquired my professional qualifications yet, and I don’t want to die,” Tang Feng exclaimed with a pounding heart, hurriedly reminding her.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine,” Qin Yanan assured him after a moment of alertness and even flashed an “OK” gesture at him.
However, after driving for less than a few minutes, the lady again began to fight off sleepiness.
At that moment, a traffic jam suddenly appeared ahead, and many cars stopped.
But Qin Yanan continued to drive forward, and it seemed that she was about to crash into the rear of the car ahead.
Startled, Tang Feng shouted urgently, “Brake!”
Qin Yanan was jolted awake and slammed on the brakes.
The Cayenne finally came to a halt, and due to inertia, their bodies were thrust forward.
By then, the front of their car was less than a fist’s distance from the rear of the vehicle in front.
If they had braked a second later, they would have collided.
Tang Feng broke out in a cold sweat, “Forget it, I’ll drive.”
Qin Yanan’s face had also turned pale by then, and she reluctantly opened the door to switch places with him.
“Are you alright?” Tang Feng asked as he took the driver’s seat, then looked at Qin Yanan with concern.
“I’m fine, just a bit sleepy,” Qin Yanan said, rubbing her temple as a throbbing pain began to take hold in her head.
Seeing the congested traffic and figuring it would be sometime before it cleared, Tang Feng turned to her and said, “Come, lie down on my lap.”
Qin Yanan was momentarily stunned, “What for?”
“I’ll press it for you, or what if you start suffering again?” he said as he adjusted the seat backwards, creating ample space.
Qin Yanan wanted to refuse, but the piercing pain in her head was intensifying.
Eventually, she obediently rested her forehead on his thigh.
Tang Feng then gently grasped the back of her neck and started to rhythmically massage.
“Ah… it hurts, be gentle…”
Qin Yanan whimpered softly in pain.
Tang Feng had no choice but to ease the pressure.
Neither of them thought there was anything wrong with these actions.
But a bus happened to stop next to them.
Some of the passengers on the bus witnessed this scene and were instantly rendered speechless.
From their perspective, the view was quite explosive.
Mothers with children hurriedly covered their kids’ eyes, cursing the two for their shamelessness.
Indulging in such activities even in the car.
There were also a few male passengers who watched intently, envy, jealousy, and resentment boiling in their hearts for Tang Feng.
Tang Feng had no idea how his little gesture had led to such a misunderstanding.
After massaging Qin Yanan for a while, the traffic ahead began to slowly move, and he withdrew his hand, “Okay, get up.”
However, Qin Yanan did not respond.
Tang Feng called her a couple more times before he realized the woman had actually fallen asleep on his lap.
This left him somewhat amused and frustrated.
He did not try to awaken her again.
The appraiser exam was being held at the Zhonghai Municipal Stadium, and it was conducted in a semi-open format where spectators could attend by registering for free.
Tang Feng had assumed that antiques was a niche community and that such a dry appraiser exam wouldn’t attract many viewers.
But when he arrived at the venue, he found he was mistaken.
At the entrance to the stadium, many spectators were already queuing to enter.
At a glance, there were at least a hundred people.
He was secretly shocked; were antiques really this popular now?
Putting his surprise aside, he started looking for a parking space.
The parking lot at the stadium was already full, and after circling twice, he finally spotted a space.
At that moment, a BMW Mini was coming from the opposite direction, clearly aiming for the same spot.
Without hesitation, he sped up and managed to park his car before the BMW reached the space.
He then woke the still sleeping Qin Yanan.
“Hmm? Are we there?” Qin Yanan struggled up from his lap, a clear trail of drool at the corner of her mouth.
Realizing her plight, she frantically reached for a tissue to wipe it off.
Tang Feng couldn’t help teasing her, “How old are you? You still drool in your sleep?”
Qin Yanan’s cheeks turned even redder, and she pointed a slender finger threateningly, “If you dare to tell anyone, I won’t let you off the hook.”
Tang Feng checked the time; the exam was about to start, and without further banter, he got out of the car first.
Qin Yanan followed him out of the car promptly.
As they were about to leave, a woman stuck her head out from the BMW Mini and called out, “Hey, how can you be like this? I saw that spot first, move your car away right now.”
Tang Feng turned to look.
The woman was quite attractive, with long hair and light makeup, her beauty score definitely above ninety.
“Is this parking space yours?” he found her demand quite absurd.
“I saw it first,” the woman insisted confidently.
“So it’s yours because you saw it first? If you saw it first, then why was I the one who parked there ahead of you?”
“You’re being unreasonable.”
“You’re making a scene.”
Li Hanzhou’s stoic face cracked slightly, and after a long pause, he asked with a teasing tone, “Kid, are you telling me this now because you want to take responsibility?”
Li Miao desperately signaled to her brother with her eyes, asking him not to be too harsh since Qiao Yun had come from the countryside and didn’t realize that he was a fearsome figure in Shangjing, known to make others tremble. It was normal for her not to know the rules.
Qiao Yun thought seriously for a moment, then corrected him, “Legally speaking, I’m already eighteen and an adult, not a ‘kid’.”
“…?”
“Also, I’m not even of legal marriage age, so this would be considered sexual harassment.”
Seeing Qiao Yun’s serious face, a hint of speechlessness flashed through Li Hanzhou’s shining eyes.
Is this straightforwardness typical of country folks?
To prevent Qiao Yun from saying anything more outrageous, Li Miao took the initiative to grab Qiao Yun’s suitcase and pulled her into the car.
“Alright, it’s getting late, let’s get in the car and talk.”
Li Miao first put Qiao Yun’s luggage in the trunk and after getting into the car, saw Qiao Yun casually inspecting the interior, which immediately inflated her vanity.
“Cool, right? This is the latest model of smart sports car. It can drive itself and even go underwater. Only five have been made worldwide. Do you know how much it costs?”
Li Miao stretched out a finger: “Almost a hundred million, you’ve probably never seen this much money in your life, have you?”
Qiao Yun silently recalled her bank account balance and permissively nodded.
Seeing Qiao Yun play along, Li Miao’s eyes filled with admiration: “It’s pricey for a reason, after all, it’s equipped with an MR.Q-developed smart system. Impressive, right?”
Qiao Yun paused, her lips slightly curved up: “Impressive.”
“You wouldn’t understand even if I explained it to you.”
Pampered Li Miao assumed that since Qiao Yun lived in the countryside, she probably had to work in the fields after school every day and likely had no time to learn about these things.
“Oh right, I forgot to tell you, your parents had some issues today, so they couldn’t come to pick you up.”
Qiao Yun, without even lifting her eyelids, calmly acknowledged with an “Oh.”
Li Miao suddenly became curious, “Why don’t you ask what it was?”
Qiao Yun was uninterested, but seeing Li Miao eagerly looking at her, she paused and asked, “What was it?”
Li Miao, her eyes full of mockery: “It was your half-sister from a different father and mother. I heard she was hospitalized with a fever yesterday and was so dramatic, clinging to your mom and wouldn’t let her go. Coincidentally, my mom heard about it and decided to pick you up instead. Oh, by the way, my mom and your mom were elementary school classmates.”
They were the type of classmates who kept in touch maybe once a year; she wondered why suddenly they were so eager to help.
Qiao Yun replied indifferently, “I see.”
“You’re not upset??”
Li Miao thought Qiao Yun’s reaction was abnormal since most people would be disappointed if their biological parents chose to take care of someone else who wasn’t even their own.
Qiao Yun perplexed: “Should I be upset?”
Li Miao: “…”
Feeling something wasn’t quite right and yet it seemed all right???
Qiao Yun truly wasn’t upset. Although this body was biologically related to the Lu family, she had been lost at the age of three and abducted, and they hadn’t seen each other for more than a decade.
Li Hanzhou watched Qiao Yun through the rearview mirror.
Her snowy white face partially engulfed in shadows, those eyes indifferent without a trace of emotion.
She truly felt no anger.
As Li Miao’s eyes darted around, thinking that Qiao Yun, on her first trip to the city, must be curious about the world outside the mountains, she started to describe the scenery.
“You see that skyscraper? It’s Shengqiao Group’s newly completed headquarters. Impressive, isn’t it? Not bragging, but in China, only Li Group can rival Shengqiao Group.”
Qiao Yun’s bright eyes looked up at the towering skyscraper and nonchalantly hummed an approval, showing no envy.
Just then, Qiao Yun’s phone vibrated.
Her slender fingers tapped on the message.
[Heard you’re back in Shangjing, when will you visit the Group?]
Qiao Yun glanced down, tapping on her phone: [I’ve already arrived.]
[Where? Why didn’t you say earlier, I could have arranged a welcome ceremony for you.]
Qiao Yun: [Driving past.]
After a while, the other side replied: [……]
Qiao Yun typed with utmost sincerity: [The new building is so ugly, looks like a huge vest.]
[A hundred-billion-dollar building and you call it a vest? There’s something I’m not sure whether I should say!]
Qiao Yun coldly replied: [Hold it in.]
After a while, the other person sent an aggrieved emoji.
Li Miao had been explaining for a long time and seeing that Qiao Yun didn’t respond, thought she might be overwhelmed by the big city, so she changed the subject: “By the way, now that you’re back in Shangjing, you must have transferred your school registration, right?”
Qiao Yun put away her phone and drawled, “It’s been transferred.”
Li Miao nodded, “Excellent, the resources in Shangjing City are definitely better than in the countryside. Just focus on your studies and you’ll surely make something of yourself.”
Qiao Yun lifted her eyelids, her gaze conveying an unspoken message to Li Miao, ultimately saying nothing.
Qin Yanan beside him was laughing hysterically, “She’s a stunning beauty after all, couldn’t you have been a bit gentler?”
“So what if she’s beautiful? Does being pretty give her the right to do whatever she wants?” Tang Feng dismissed the idea disdainfully.
“Isn’t it supposed to?” Qin Yanan teased, flipping a strand of hair by her ear in a flirtatious manner.
“If she were as beautiful as you, then indeed, she could have her way,” Tang Feng delivered a perfectly sized compliment.
Qin Yanan knew he was buttering her up, but she still beamed with joy.
