Chapter 535: 341 Unique Morning Exercise, Aunt Flow’s Embarrassment (2 Updates)_2

“Right.”

Qi Zeyan knew that the Huo Family all had a habit of morning training and didn’t think much of it; after finishing

the steamed dumplings, drinking the porridge, he went to work cheerily, convinced that Shen Shuci’s matter

didn’t need his concern and that surely everything would be light and easy for him.

Meanwhile, the members of the Huo Family were a bit dumbfounded...

Because their elder blatantly lied with eyes wide open!

Morning exercise?

You do your morning exercises driving a car? And you go that far? Squatting for several hours under someone's

building?

They thought that Shen Shuci would arrive at the company at eight or nine, and considering the distance to New

City and the need to allow for possible traffic congestion, it made sense to arrive early. They didn’t expect she

would only cdown from the building after eight.

The Huo Family wondered whether she had left earlier?

“Master, target located.”

Shen Shuci was looking for the taxi she had reserved the night before, which was supposed to wait for her

around this time. When she called last night, the driver even said he could cinside the community, but she

didn’t see any taxis at all...

Looking around, she took out her phone, ready to call the driver to check on him. Before the call connected, a

black sedan stopped in front of her.

The car window rolled down, and there was that face, as cold and stern as if it was devoid of any expression,

appearing before her.

Honestly, seeing such a face so early in the morning...

One might think he was here to seek revenge.

The morning breeze, blowing on the nape of the neck, was so chilling it felt like it penetrated to the bone. Shen

Shuci coughed twice, “Mr. Huo? What's this...”

“Get in.”

“I, uh...” Shen Shuci caught a glimpse of a taxi turning the corner and slowly coming to a stop in front of her

building, confirming the license plate, “My reserved taxi has arrived.”

“I also need to go to work, so | should...” Shen Shuci hadn't dealt with someone like him before and was

naturally polite and cautious because they weren't familiar.

“Take care of it.” As soon as his words fell, the man sitting in the front passenger seat got out of the car and

went up to the taxi. He said something, and the taxi driver looked up from the window, glanced at Shen Shuci

twice, “Miss, please cancel the order, I'm going to leave now.”

Shen Shuci: “...”

After saying that, the taxi driver drove away.

“Driver, |...” Shen Shuci was dumbfounded; with him gone, how would she get to the office?

Turning back, she looked in disbelief at the person inside the car, and the car door had already been opened

from the inside. The man’s voice was as usual, cold and indifferent, “Get in.”

“I need to go to the company; | have to get to work.” Her place was rather remote, and it had been difficult to

finally reserve a cab, only for him to dismiss it like that?

“I know.”

“So, what is this...” what do you mean?

“Ill take you.”

Shen Shuci couldn't call another taxi at this point, so she could only squeeze into his car.

The ride was silent; not even a car rawas playing, creating an eerily quiet atmosphere.

Although it was already spring, it was still very cold in the north. Shen Shuci was dressed for work in the

company’s uniform, a knee-length pencil skirt, which made her feel a bit constrained when sitting down.

She felt as if she was seated next to a block of ice; the gap between them could fit another person, and it

seemed she could still feel a cold aura emanating from him.

“Mr. Huo, my hand is already fine; you really don’t need to go out of your way to take me,” Shen Shuci coughed,

“It’s quite a bother for you.”

“| exercise every morning.”

So, take it as morning exercise? But isn’t this kind of morning exercise a bit odd?

He looked at her hand, which was politely placed on her lap. She had always worn trousers for interviews before

and was wearing such a tight-fitting pencil skirt for the first time. As she sat, the hem of her skirt moved up half

an inch, and she felt uncomfortable enough to reach down and tug it slightly.

“Actually, it’s really nothing.”

The man hadn't spoken a word, and Shen Shuci spread her hand out, presenting it toward his side, “If you don’t

believe me, see for yourself.”

It was quite intimidating to meet this sort of grim reaper first thing in the morning.

The palm of her hand no longer swelled as badly as it did last night, but the area around the knuckles and the

base of the thumb still had red marks. Shen Shuci thought he had looked long enough and was about to retract

her hand when he unexpectedly reached out...

From the perspective of the two people in the front row...

Was that seriously a handshake?

The man’s hands were full of thick calluses, warm and dry, a whole size larger than hers. Her own hand in front

of his looked like a child's.

Shen Shuci was taken aback, and before she could react, he pressed his thumb lightly into a spot on her palm,

causing her to inhale sharply with pain.

“It hasn't healed yet.”

After concluding, he withdrew his hand.

Shen Shuci bit her lip; it would hurt no matter what. She rubbed the spot he had pressed, looked out the window

with a headache, and wondered how she could get rid of this man.

Perhaps due to his profession, he even sat with a straight back, proper and upright, making her feel too

embarrassed to be too casual, keeping her body stiff.

The two people in the driver and passenger seats were already frightened out of their minds.

What the hell, just saying they had tricked Mr. Qi into going out for morning exercise was scary enough, now

what the hell were they doing?

But soon, Shen Shuci arrived at the company. “Mr. Huo, thank you. I'll go down first...”

“What tdo you get off work?”

Shen Shuci bit her lip, “It’s not certain, | can get back on my own. | wouldn’t want to trouble you.”

“Senda message before you get off work.”

“Mr. Huo...”

Shen Shuci had no idea how to deal with this kind of person. Just as she was about to refuse, he looked down at

his watch and said, “You should get out of the car.”

She hadn't finished speaking, and he was already rushing her off?

Seeing that he seemed unwilling to talk any more, and that she really did need to go to the company, she

thanked him and hurried off the car, deciding to discuss the matter later.

This kind of person was new to her; he was much older than her and spoke and acted too rigidly and seriously.

He was precisely the kind of difficult elder she had no way of dealing with.

Finally making it to the end of the workday, Shen Shuci did not send a message ahead of time. As she left the

company and reached a bus stop to wait for a taxi, she took out her phone and began to draft a message.

[Mr. Huo, | have finished work and am hnow. Thank you for your concern. Please, there's no need for you to

personally pickup and dropoff in the future.]

After much deliberation, editing and re-editing, Shen Shuci decided to send the message anyway.

She then added another message: [My injury is not serious anymore; you don’t need to worry about it.]

After sending the message, she took a deep breath...

But just then, a familiar car stopped in front of her. She glanced at her phone, at the car, and then the car

window slowly rolled down. The man inside was holding his phone, glanced at it, then looked at her...

Was this what she had called... being halready?

Their eyes met, and it was extremely awkward!

After she got in the car, they couldn't help but ask, “Miss Shen, you look a bit pale. Is work not going well?”

Shen Shuci, clutching her phone, could only nod silently, so ashamed she wished she could crawl into a hole.

“It's never easy to work; making money is never a comfortable affair.”

The man who had been quiet until now spoke up softly, “Are you suggesting that working for the Huo family is

very difficult?”

Huo family members: “...”

Better for them to keep quiet, as the car once again plunged into an indescribably awkward silence.
