CHAPTER 361: CHAPTER 361: THE UMBRELLA BRIM RAISED SLIGHTLY, REVEALING A HANDSOME FACE

On the way back to the hotel, Chen Rong felt increasingly that something was amiss.

Thinking of how the other party had addressed someone as "Mr. Shen" all the time, she suddenly realized a possibility and asked Shen Weiyi with wide eyes, "He couldn’t have thought you were Mr. Shen’s daughter, could he?"

Shen Weiyi replied, "Why don’t you go back and ask him?"

Chen Rong immediately got angry, "Shen Weiyi, don’t think I can’t tell that you’re mocking me."

It turned out she could tell she was being mocked, so she wasn’t too stupid.

Upon returning to the hotel, Chen Rong told her, "There’s nothing much left to do here, you can go back and pack, and help me book the flight for tomorrow morning as well."

"You go back first!" said Shen Weiyi.

"Aren’t you coming with me?" Chen Rong couldn’t help but frown.

Shen Weiyi said, "I quite like it here, I want to stay in H city for a couple more days."

"That’s not acceptable, you must come back with me." She hadn’t forgotten that Secretary Jiang had gotten angry because she had gone on a business trip alone. What if something happened to her in H city, and the company blamed her?

Shen Weiyi assured her, "Don’t worry, I will speak to Secretary Jiang. Besides, the next two days are the weekend; employees should have the freedom to arrange their own lives. I just need to rush back to the office for work on Monday."

"Suit yourself!" Upon hearing this, Chen Rong glared at her and then turned away.

As long as it didn’t affect her, that was fine. As for the rest, she couldn’t care less how long Shen Weiyi chose to stay; it would be best if something happened and she never returned to the company.

Chen Rong thought maliciously.

After returning to the hotel, Shen Weiyi took another bath, lay on the bed, and checked her phone, and found that Sheng Ting hadn’t replied to her messages all night.

Thinking the other might be busy, she didn’t disturb him but called Secretary Jiang to tell her she would stay in H city for two more days. Secretary Jiang instructed her to be safe.

After chatting with Secretary Jiang, she hung up the phone, placed it on the bedside table, and lay down to rest.

The next day, after waking up and freshening up, Shen Weiyi went to the hotel’s restaurant. After breakfast, she left the hotel.

Today, she planned to visit a nearby Ancient Town.

Perhaps because it was the weekend, many people were going to the Ancient Town, and traffic was congested for about a kilometer.

Shen Weiyi paid the fare, got out of the car, and walked the rest of the way.

She bought a ticket in line and picked up a simple map of the Ancient Town at the gate, then followed the crowd into the town.

The town was surrounded by water on four sides, formed by the river, with streets along the water and markets along the streets. It was the peak tourist season, and the bluestone streets were crowded with visitors.

Looking around, ancient, elegantly designed buildings stood on both sides of the river, seemingly narrating the town’s age-old history to everyone.

Walking on the bluestone paths, Shen Weiyi admired the grey bricks and black tiles along the streets, feeling the town’s quaint atmosphere as if traveling back in time to an ancient dynasty on a time machine.

The town was bustling with commerce, featuring a variety of unique goods, and Shen Weiyi picked out some souvenirs for everyone.

Just as she walked out of a shop, she noticed that fine rain had started to fall outside.

The people around her hurried along, and just as Shen Weiyi was looking for a place to take shelter from the rain, a black umbrella suddenly appeared in her line of sight.

The edge of the umbrella was slightly lifted to reveal a handsome face.

"How come you are here?" Shen Weiyi looked at the newcomer in surprise.

The fine rain made a light pitter-patter sound as it hit the umbrella. Shen Weiyi looked up at the person in front of her, blinked, and felt an almost surreal sensation.
