Chapter 582: Chapter 579

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Zaijun’s expression flickered slightly. She glanced at him and muttered,

"Enough already, stop saying that word."

"What word?"

Shen Lin’s eyebrows raised slightly with amusement.

Li Zaijun: "Daddy."

Shen Lin: "Hmm, that’s right, good girl."

He agreed with a nod.

"You—!"

Li Zaijun’s face turned red with anger and embarrassment, not expecting him to actually dare to play this trick on her.

She reached out to hit him, but he didn’t dodge, just the corners of his mouth twitched into a slight smile.

"You’re still smiling, still smiling...!"

Her small fist pounded on his chest, on his shoulders, but as she kept hitting, she suddenly felt something was a bit off.

The man before her simply looked down at her, his originally smiling eyes, at some point, had become deeper.

Dark and inscrutable, one couldn’t tell what he was thinking, making it hard to guess.

Li Zaijun accidentally met his gaze, feeling her heart skip a beat and tremble.

She gradually withdrew her hand to her side, but her fingers couldn’t help but curl slightly, grasping into her palm.

"..."

She looked away too, and for a moment didn’t quite know what to say.

Why was he looking at her like that all of a sudden...?

Was something wrong with her?

She wasn’t looking at him, but she could still feel his gaze on her, not shifting away.

And it seemed to grow hotter.

It made her feel more and more unnatural.

Indeed, with age comes a man’s thoughts that are hard to guess.

The girl’s fluffy short hair was suddenly tousled. Shen Lin withdrew his hand, turned around, and left with one hand in his suit pocket.

His posture tall and straight, mature yet carrying an air of casual nonchalance.

He suddenly waved without turning his head and said:

"I’ve got things to do, so I’m taking off now. Call me if you need anything."

After he spoke, the assistant immediately came over with a warm smile and handed her a gilt-edged business card.

"This is Mr. Shen’s phone number, Miss Li. If there’s anything, you can call him directly."

Li Zaijun: "..."

She held the gilt-edged business card in her hand, suddenly feeling her fingertips heating up.

With the issue resolved, there wouldn’t be any reason to have him come to the school again, so there was no need to contact him.

Therefore, this business card was meaningless to her.

Yes, without meaning.

And so, Li Zaijun pursed her lips, took out her small wallet from her back pocket, and stuffed the gilt-edged business card inside it.

Shen Lin was meaningless, but the card seemed to be worth a bit of money.

...

Shen Lin opened the car door and after getting in, immediately loosened his tie and closed his eyes.

"Mr. Shen."

The assistant preparing to drive handed him a bottle of mineral water.

Shen Lin took it.

"Mr. Shen, where are we heading now, back to the office?"

Shen Lin: "Where else?"

His question seemed to be asking others as much as himself.

The assistant said, "It’s almost noon, I thought you might take Miss Li out for lunch, but since that’s not needed, let’s head back to the office."

At those words, Shen Lin’s body stiffened for a moment.

The car suddenly started.

"Wait...!"

Shen Lin spoke up.
