Chapter 26: I’ll Treat You to Dinner

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xu Feng had made his intentions clear, but Huo Man wasn’t buying it. She glanced at the back seat of the Maybach and deliberately said loudly, “I doubt this invitation is sincere since you’re not treating me personally. I don’t think I can join you.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Bei opened the door of the back seat and stepped out with his long legs.

Just like the previous time they met, Shen Bei’s face was as cold as a thousand-year-old iceberg. In this aspect, the two of them were quite similar.

“Huo Man, let’s have dinner together tonight.” Even though Shen Bei’s face was cold, his tone was still polite.

“Reason being?” Huo Man asked bluntly.

Xu Feng was already shocked when Young Master Shen told him to drive to Jiali High School to pick up Huo Man as soon as he got off work.

After all, he had never seen Young Master Shen care so much about a woman.

Ever since he started following Shen Bei, he had never seen Shen Bei pick up any woman, let alone ask any woman out for a meal.

Huo Man’s appearance had shattered his understanding of Shen Bei.

However, it was the same woman that Shen Bei cared so much about who was so indifferent to him and even dared to question him!

Did Shen Bei need a reason to invite someone?

Had it been anyone else, they would have been chased out of Southern City by Shen Bei.

“It’s fine for an engaged couple to have a meal together, isn’t it?” The reason Shen Bei gave surprised Huo Man.

She had thought that Shen Bei would use her discussion with Bu as an excuse, but it turned out that his reason was that simple.

Huo Man thought for a moment and decided to agree. “Alright.”

Since someone took the initiative to invite her to dinner, it would be a waste not to eat.

After saying that, Huo Man walked to the Maybach, opened the door, and got in.

Shen Bei followed her and took a seat beside her.

The smell of tobacco lingered at the tip of her nose. It was a smell she liked.

Huo Man liked people who had a nice scent on them, and Shen Bei always had a faint perfume smell on him. It just so happened to be the smell she liked.

Last time, it was Cedar. This time, it was tobacco. They both had the scent of a mature man.

It had to be said that Shen Bei’s taste was not bad.

After the two of them got into the car, there was a moment of silence, which made Xu Feng, who was driving, feel like he was sitting on needles.

Shen Bei’s aura was already strong enough, and now there was Huo Man. Xu Feng felt like there were two mountains behind him.

“How was your day at school?” Shen Bei eventually took the initiative to break the silence.

“It was alright.” Huo Man’s words to Shen Bei were always simple and clear, as if she was unwilling to say anything more.

Faced with such an answer, Shen Bei felt a little awkward for some reason.

“Did those people bully you?” Shen Bei asked again after a long silence.

Bully? The word “bully” didn’t exist in her dictionary.

The corners of her mouth unconsciously revealed a playful smile, and she shook her head. “No.”

Thinking of Sang Yue, who she had slapped, and the men who had been beaten to the ground by her, she felt very happy.

Shen Bei noticed the subtle change in her mood. He could not help the mild curiosity about what she had gone through at school. However, with their current relationship, Shen Bei did not know how to bring it up.

For the first time, Shen Bei felt that he was a little stupid in front of Huo Man.

For him, who had been in the business world for many years, this was a little ridiculous.

Shen Bei was about to continue chatting with his little fiancée, but when he turned his head, he saw that Huo Man had already closed her eyes.

The gentle rays of the setting sun shone on her from time to time, dyeing her soft hair and curled eyelashes with a layer of golden light.

In her sleep, Huo Man was gentler than anyone Shen Bei had ever seen.

Shen Bei sometimes felt that Huo Man was like a little hedgehog, but at this moment, she was like an obedient little rabbit.

He could not help wanting to care for and love her. He picked up a Hermes blanket from the side and tried to cover her.

Before the blanket could touch Huo Man, her eyes snapped open, and she looked at Shen Bei alertly.

Huo Man was extremely vigilant and would never fall into a deep sleep, so she woke up when she felt the wind from the blanket.

“I was afraid you’d catch a cold,” Shen Bei explained.

Huo Man had a strange feeling in her heart when she heard Shen Bei’s words.
