Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Do Not Dare

Shen Ci found Meng Chuyue’s words pleasing to the ear, but after listening, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart...

However, now wasn’t the time to dwell on these feelings; the priority was to conquer the mountains of tasks ahead.

Just as Shen Ci was about to nod, Meng Chuyue took a cloth bag out of her backpack and handed it to him, "Inside are ten different types of recording pens.

I suggest that whenever you meet someone from the Shen Family privately, you should immediately turn on the recording pen, that way, you can blackmail them with their foolish words. Don’t hesitate to use them, the boss has promised to help us buy more if we have the chance."

"Okay." Shen Ci looked down at the fruits, hiding the excitement in his eyes.

He was truly excited.

For the intimate "we" in her words, and for her closeness with her boss.

He hesitated for a long time, and not until they were almost done loading did he casually ask Meng Chuyue, "I’ve always forgotten to ask, is your boss male or female?"

Meng Chuyue pursed her lips, "Female."

Female, huh?

Shen Ci felt relieved, but his relief was short-lived.

Even if the boss was female, couldn’t the female boss possibly have a son or brother around Meng Chuyue’s age?

It still wasn’t safe.

He thought about it and then asked, "You once said you wouldn’t date until after college, I thought it would be three more years, but now... do you mean you’re planning on dating in a few months?"

Meng Chuyue looked at his evasive gaze; how could she not understand his thoughts?

She admitted to herself that she really liked him, sometimes so passionately that she wanted to confess to him directly, but more often, she was afraid of falling in love.

Having been deceived greatly in her past life and this life, she was willing to be kind and honest with others, but she feared that intense need for interactive engagement.

The same went for acknowledging Han Zheng.

Her so-called reluctance to recognize Han Zheng for fear of being entangled by Zhao Sulan was just self-deception.

If she was willing, she could recognize Han Zheng privately and later claim to the public that she was his goddaughter, completely deceiving others.

The main reason she avoided it was that she feared Han Zheng wouldn’t be the man she imagined, and she wouldn’t get the fatherly love she desired.

Her feelings for Shen Ci were similar.

Although the Shen Ci from her past life seemed alright, her understanding of him was actually quite superficial.

This life’s Shen Ci genuinely touched her heart, but because hearts hide behind bellies, she still held reservations and defenses. Thus, she couldn’t bring herself to confess; she could only let things take their natural course.

If one day she couldn’t fend off Shen Ci’s advances, she would resign herself to falling for him.

If she could resist, she would continue to observe.

After all, it was a commitment for life; she couldn’t accept it just out of tenderness.

She smiled faintly, "What I said back then was about after three years; even if I take the college entrance exam early, it will still be after three years. Don’t worry, right now you are the only family I have. I will definitely inform you before I date anyone, and if you don’t like the person, I will firmly reject them."

If Shen Ci wasn’t so inexperienced in love, he would definitely have understood the implication in Meng Chuyue’s words.

If his situation weren’t so bad, a little more boldness would suffice to win her over.

Unfortunately, all he felt now from Meng Chuyue was... familial affection.

Although it wasn’t what he truly wanted, it was enough to warm him.

He smiled tenderly, "After selling this batch of goods, I’m planning to take a trip to West City Ancient Capital. The antique street there is quite famous. Want to come along?"

Meng Chuyue’s eyes immediately lit up, "Yes, of course. It seems it’s only a little over an eight-hour journey from here. Are you planning to drive yourself, or otherwise?"

"Driving myself."

"Will there be anyone else coming along?"

"No, just the two of us. I was originally planning to go alone."

"Alright then, we’ll take my car when the time comes."

"Hmm. I’ll arrange everything and give you a call."
