CHAPTER 63: CHAPTER 63: RUI, ARE YOU INTERESTED IN HER?

It’s obvious that Beichen Rui doesn’t want to take her home; the excuse of it being out of the way is just that, an excuse. Having mingled in the upper circles for so many years, Jiang Shihan can still read between the lines.

So she smiled and said, "Grandpa Bei Chen, I’ll come to see you next time I have time. It’s a bit late today; you should rest early." After speaking, she picked up her bag and was about to walk out.

Seeing her insist on leaving, the old man didn’t stop her much, "Shihan, I’ll have the driver send you back. Come and keep this old man company next time when you have the time."

Jiang Shihan smiled and said, "Alright, I’ll come to see you whenever I have time. Goodbye, Grandpa Bei Chen."

"Goodbye."

Jiang Shihan walked out of the Beichen family’s old residence with her bag and was driven home by the Beichen family’s chauffeur.

Ye Xinluo and the other two had finished their meal, tidied the house, and went to bed early. They had only rested for a short while in the afternoon before getting up to cook dinner, so they were indeed a bit tired now.

Lan Shan, knowing she was tired from the flight, didn’t keep her chatting for long and kindly let her go to rest.

....

Meanwhile, the Crown KTV was bustling with activity.

Beichen Rui sat in a private booth on the second floor, watching the people dancing freely in the dance floor. Normally, he wouldn’t want to come to such places, but today, with Jiang Shihan at his house, he didn’t want to stay home.

Mo Han, sitting next to him, watched him. When he called him earlier today, he thought for sure he wouldn’t come, so he had gathered some brothers to come and have fun. Unexpectedly, Beichen Rui really showed up half an hour later.

"Boss, how come you have time to hang out today?" Mo Han curiously asked.

Beichen Rui picked up a glass of wine from the table, tilted his head back, and drank it. Then he turned to Mo Han and asked, "Do you have a problem with that?"

Mo Han quickly waved his hand, "No problem, no problem."

Joking aside, he wouldn’t dare have an issue with the boss, unless he had a death wish.

Quickly changing the subject, he said, "Boss, you still haven’t told me why you stayed so long in Hai City this time before coming back."

Beichen Rui didn’t answer his question but picked up another glass of wine from the table and drank it in one gulp. He couldn’t figure it out himself, so how could he explain it to Mo Han?

Seeing that he didn’t respond, Mo Han thought of a possibility and tentatively asked, "Boss, have you taken a liking to her?"

Upon hearing this, Beichen Rui stopped his drink in mid-air and asked somewhat puzzled, "Her?"

"Yeah, Assistant Ye. Have you taken a liking to her?" Beichen Rui’s recent behavior was too suspicious, making it impossible not to think along those lines.

First, he didn’t let me follow him on the business trip, instead bringing along Assistant Ye, who had just joined the company. Once there, he didn’t give her any work, and most importantly, he stayed in Hai City to hang out with Assistant Ye when he should have returned two days ago.

Everything points in one direction: the boss is quite possibly interested in Assistant Ye.....

Interested? Beichen Rui asked himself inwardly.

His thoughts drifted back to a night a few years ago.

He was playing in a KTV with a few friends when, midway, Beichen Rui went to the restroom. As he was leaving the restroom, he felt a weight on his body, followed by the subtle scent of lavender filling his nostrils.

At the same time, there was suddenly a woman in his arms, a woman who was drunk.

Instinctively, he wanted to push her away, but when he saw the woman’s face, his hand stopped.
