Chapter 17 : Calling You Sister While Serving You Tea

  • After being scolded by Shen Sicen, Lin Wancheng's work efficiency was quite low for the whole day. In order to finish today's work, she had to work overtime until after seven in the evening.
  • When she took the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor, she happened to run into Shen Sicen, who had just finished working overtime and walked out of the president's exclusive elevator.
  • With a cold face, Shen Sicen glanced at her with a chilling gaze, noticing that she only had her bag in her hand and nothing else.
  • Lin Wancheng glared back at him, hmph, why was he treating her as if she owed him money?
  • Oh, she almost forgot, she did owe him money... Thinking of this, her momentum suddenly diminished.
  • When she walked out of the company building, Lin Wancheng was dumbfounded. It was pouring rain outside, and the city of Jiangcheng was hazy under the rain curtain. The water on the road was deep enough to cover the soles of her shoes.
  • She didn't bring an umbrella today. Not to mention walking to the subway station, as soon as she took a step outside, she would be drenched like a drowned rat.
  • And it's not easy to catch a taxi in heavy rain, that's basic common sense.
  • "Just wait here for a while, maybe the rain will stop soon."
  • She sighed helplessly and comforted herself with self-talk.
  • A black Rolls-Royce drove out of the garage and passed by Lin Wancheng.
  • Tsk, the good life of rich people is evident at times like this.
  • Both of them didn't bring an umbrella, but the CEO just got into the car directly from the underground garage. What about her? She had to stand by the roadside and wait for the rain to stop.
  • As if seeing through her thoughts, the car suddenly braked, and the driver, with a smiling face, rolled down the window and said, "Miss Lin, get in the car, I'll give you a ride on the way."
  • She knew that Shen Sicen must be sitting in the back seat at this moment. With her proud temper, she should firmly refuse.
  • But when she looked down at her recently bought silk blouse and lambskin high heels, sigh, dignity is worthless in the face of poverty.
  • She quickly got into the car.
  • Shen Sicen sat in the left seat, flipping through a document with a cold and indifferent demeanor. The aura that kept people at a distance almost pushed Lin Wancheng out of the car window.
  • Why did it seem like the driver took the liberty to let her in without his consent?
  • "Hehe, thank you, driver, thank you, CEO." She forced a dry smile.
  • The driver nodded at her through the rearview mirror, while Shen Sicen didn't even lift his head, completely ignoring her.
  • It was really awkward.
  • Lin Wancheng was bored and absent-mindedly adjusting her skirt when her phone suddenly burst into laughter.
  • "Ah hahaha—"
  • The laughter echoed in the quiet and narrow car, resonating deeply and lingering.
  • Last time when she watched a comedy show, she laughed so loudly in front of the TV that Lan Xue recorded this infectious laughter and set it as her ringtone.
  • Shen Sicen turned his head in surprise, looking at her as if she were crazy.
  • "Uh, sorry... I have to take this call!"
  • "Why haven't you arrived home yet? Where did you go? It's pouring rain outside, do you want me to come pick you up?" Lan Xue, who had already finished work and gone home, called to ask.
  • Lin Wancheng lowered her voice, "No need, I worked overtime and I'm already on my way."
  • Lan Xue clicked her tongue, "I thought you were called back by your mother-in-law who wraps feet. But speaking of which, your so-called husband shouldn't get wet in this kind of weather."
  • "Why do you say that?" Lin Wancheng didn't understand. Why was Lan Xue suddenly concerned about her cheap husband?
  • "Because he's made of paper, once he gets wet, he'll dissolve."
  • "Haha..." Lin Wancheng almost burst out laughing, "You're so mean, he's just someone I haven't met yet, how can he be made of paper?"
  • Lan Xue snorted disdainfully, "Never met, only exists in legends, what's the difference with a paper person?"
  • "But hey, you have to be careful. Judging from the feudal level of their arranged marriage, your husband is likely to have several concubines, maids, and servants outside. When they all come in together, they'll serve you tea and call you sister."
  • "Ahahaha!" Lin Wancheng couldn't hold back her laughter.
  • Shen Sicen glanced at her sideways. Now he knew who was laughing in the ringtone just now...
