Chapter 298: Mysterious Trust 2

Under Shan Shan’s guidance, Leng Xuan parked the car directly under Building 13 of the school’s faculty apartment. After getting out of the car, he turned to Pang Shanshan and asked, "Do you need me to help you up?"

If it had been any other time, Pang Shanshan would have happily agreed because she usually thought of Leng Xuan as just a student. But now, she was feeling unusually awkward, so she said, "No... no need. I can walk by myself!"

Leng Xuan hummed in acknowledgement, not minding, and said, "Then I’ll head back first! Bye!" With that, he turned and was ready to leave!

Pang Shanshan watched Leng Xuan’s retreating figure and felt an unexplained sense of loss. After being single for so many years, hadn’t she experienced feelings of loneliness? She had been waiting for her Prince Charming who never appeared, enduring the agony of being alone. If Leng Xuan were a bit older, or rather, if he weren’t a student, maybe she wouldn’t mind getting to know this young man better. Of course, she couldn’t exactly explain why she felt this way. Watching Leng Xuan walk away, she started to regret her choice. If given another chance, she would definitely not refuse his offer of help again.

After going upstairs, Pang Shanshan opened her own door when suddenly her phone rang. It was a call from Leng Xuan, which made her pause in surprise and happiness. After picking up, she heard him saying, "I forgot to take my clothes, they’re still in your car!"

"Oh, is that so!" Pang Shanshan felt slightly disappointed, thought for a moment, then said, "Then come up and fetch the car key. I’m in 303!"

Leng Xuan responded and hung up the phone. After a short while, he came upstairs. Pang Shanshan was waiting for him at the door and saw him approach. Out of politeness, she said, "Why don’t you come in and sit for a bit? You drank a lot; won’t your parents say something when you get back?"

Leng Xuan hesitated, then shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "I’ve been without parents since I was young!"

"Hmm?" Pang Shanshan was taken aback and felt a surge of motherly warmth, saying, "Well... okay, come in and sit for a while, I’ll make you a cup of pear juice to sober up." As she spoke, she didn’t wait for a response from Leng Xuan but walked inside.

Leng Xuan was a perfectly normal man, and to say he didn’t want to go in would naturally be a lie. However, he was concerned about returning late and upsetting Miss Ling, so he had originally intended to take his clothes and leave immediately. But seeing Pang Shanshan go in, he felt compelled to follow and sit for a while. Once inside, he took off his shoes at the entryway, put on a pair of slippers, and then headed to the living room. He glanced around and noticed that Pang Shanshan’s place was not big—perhaps a two-bedroom layout—but it was very clean. The white walls and wooden flooring gave a warm feeling. There seemed to be a unique scent of a woman in the air, truly intoxicating!

"You sit for a bit; watch some TV. I’ll go make that pear juice!" Pang Shanshan smiled at Leng Xuan.

After acknowledging her with an "oh," Leng Xuan sat down on the soft sofa in the living room. Feeling a bit tipsy, he found the sofa’s cushiness quite delightful. He picked up the remote from the coffee table and lazily flicked through TV channels, though he found it quite dull. Fortunately, before long, Pang Shanshan had made the pear juice and brought a cup over to Leng Xuan, holding one for herself as well.

"Today, heh, thank you!" Pang Shanshan said, sitting down next to Leng Xuan with a hint of embarrassment.

Leng Xuan glanced at Shan Shan and noticed that the big girl seemed a bit shy, which immediately sparked his mischievousness. Pretending to be dumb, he said, "Is a simple ’thank you’ all that’s needed?"

Pang Shanshan was startled for a moment, her heart racing as she unexpectedly recalled yesterday’s message about offering herself in return. Yet outwardly, she put on an air as if it were nothing and asked, "How would you like me to thank you?"

As expected, Leng Xuan brought up the matter, sporting a wicked grin, "Didn’t you say that if I went with you, you would offer yourself to me?"

Startled, Leng Xuan gave a bitter smile and said, "I need to take a call!"

"Oh!" Pang Shanshan sounded somewhat disappointed.

Leng Xuan fished out his mobile phone from his pants and glanced at the incoming call display. It turned out to be Li Mengjie calling, which made him feel awkward. After pressing the answer button, he heard Li Mengjie’s voice, saying, "Hey, Cold Bodyguard, why haven’t you come back yet? Where are you goofing off?"

Li Mengjie was speaking without much thought, but Leng Xuan took it to heart and suddenly became nervously tongue-tied, muttering, "Oh, I... I just finished buying things."

"Hmm~!" Li Mengjie said cheerily, "Then hurry back! Oh, by the way, remember to bring back some late-night snacks for me and Xue Jiu. Tonight, both Xue Jiu and I only had a pack of instant noodles, and we’re getting hungry!"
