CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 55: THE GIRL WITH A SECRET CRUSH

Lin Bufan saw that Shen Jue didn’t say he wanted to go back and change, so he let go.

Rong Qingqing, seeing this, was afraid that her careless word earlier might have angered him into leaving. She seized the opportunity, stepped forward to take Lin Bufan’s place, and pushed Shen Jue out.

Despite Lin Bufan’s tall and skinny appearance, he’s surprisingly strong. He can lift Shen Jue from the wheelchair without even taking a breath. Old Zhang folded the wheelchair, and Rong Qingqing gave Lin Bufan a meaningful look at his arm with a little click of her tongue.

Even though the click was very soft, Shen Jue still heard it.

Seeing Rong Qingqing still standing outside, Shen Jue raised an eyebrow slightly, "Still standing there instead of coming in? What? Do you want Lin Bufan to carry you in too?"

Little did Shen Jue know, as soon as he said that, Rong Qingqing actually showed a seemingly ecstatic expression and seriously asked him, "Can he?"

"Lift me high," Rong Qingqing genuinely seemed eager to try.

"No way!" Lin Bufan was so scared he almost wanted to disable his own arms, "Miss Qingqing, the boss is even stronger than me!"

"Tch, can’t take a joke," Rong Qingqing pouted, then bent down to sit inside.

Lin Bufan stood there wiping cold sweat, "Miss Qingqing, please don’t make such jokes in the future, too terrifying."

When Shen Qiao walked over, she saw Rong Qingqing and Lin Bufan talking. She leaned over to glance at Shen Jue and Rong Qingqing who were already sitting inside, pouting, "Brother, I want to sit with you too."

Shen Jue looked at the obviously unhappy Shen Qiao, turned his head and gave Lin Bufan a look, Lin Bufan got the hint, received the car keys from Old Zhang, and told him not to follow.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiao gladly hopped into the front passenger seat.

After the car started moving, Shen Qiao frequently turned back to look at Rong Qingqing and Shen Jue, she really couldn’t sit still, just like someone with ADHD.

Halfway through, Shen Qiao couldn’t hold it in and finally asked, "Brother, did someone give you this tie? I’ve never seen you wear it before."

Shen Jue pretended not to hear and didn’t answer.

Since Shen Jue didn’t speak, Lin Bufan naturally didn’t dare to say anything.

Rong Qingqing, however, sat there giggling.

"If someone gave a red tie, it must be a girl who has a crush on Shen Jue!" Rong Qingqing chimed in.

Shen Jue heard this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and he looked up at Rong Qingqing with an unclear expression.

"Rong Qingqing." Shen Jue suddenly asked Rong Qingqing a question, "Would you buy something you find unattractive as a gift for someone?"

"Of course not." Rong Qingqing answered without hesitation, "When I buy gifts for someone, I always pick things I find pretty and suitable for the person who will receive them."

That’s a no-brainer question. Who would spend money to gift something ugly, thus making enemies?

Shen Jue responded with a single "Hmm."

Guess she really appreciates this red tie.

"What if you have to give a gift to someone you dislike?" Shen Qiao curiously asked.

Rong Qingqing lightly tapped her fingertips on the back of Shen Qiao’s seat, "You’re giving a gift to someone you hate? Are you dumb or what?"

One sentence left Shen Qiao speechless.

"Makes so much sense." Shen Qiao was stunned into silence.

"But there must be occasions to deal with, right?" Lin Bufan offered a counterpoint.

"You’ve already used the word ’deal’, since it’s dealing, why should I personally buy it? Since it’s all about dealing, let the driver or assistant grab something that looks decent and get it over with." Rong Qingqing spread her hands, "Don’t waste time and effort on someone you dislike, that’s disrespectful to your own life."
