Chapter 71: That Man Is Simply Too Handsome!
Today she gave Big Beard a lot of advice, and he was so happy, praising her for being amazing all the way. On the journey, Shen Hanzhi listened as Lin Nanxun spoke cheerfully. This was the first time, since she had come to his side, that he had seen her so relaxed, and a hint of pleasure crept into his eyes.
Soon, the car returned to the lakeside villa.
A servant hurried out with an umbrella to greet them. As they stepped into the house, the servant temporarily managing the villa affairs in Aunt Xu’s stead approached them with respectful words.
“Sir, tomorrow is your birthday. Should we make any special preparations for the dinner menu?”
“No need.” Shen Hanzhi took the towel handed to him by the servant, wiped the rain from his body, and spoke indifferently.
Hearing this, the servant nodded and refrained from asking further.
“Bad guy, is tomorrow your birthday?” Lin Nanxun, standing nearby, was startled and asked Shen Hanzhi in surprise.
Shen Hanzhi returned the towel to the servant, then turned to glance at her, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes, what is it?”
He thought she might, like everyone else, inquire about his preferences and prepare a gift for him...
But unexpectedly, her face suddenly lit up with joy, and she asked happily, "Does that mean there will be cake?"
She hadn’t tasted cake in a long time.
At her words, Shen Hanzhi’s expression paused.
“No,” he replied with a slight frown.
A trace of helplessness crossed his handsome features—he realized he had thought too much of her. Her simple mind probably couldn’t imagine such things.
“Oh…” Hearing this, Lin Nanxun sighed softly, a little disappointed.
“Sir, Miss Lin, dinner is ready. Shall we dine now?” The servant’s voice sounded again.
Upon hearing that dinner was ready, Lin Nanxun’s eyes brightened, and she quickly nodded, following the servant toward the dining room.
“Boss.” Just as Shen Hanzhi was about to go to the dining room, Zhou Bei, who had been silent, suddenly approached him.
Shen Hanzhi stopped, turned, and looked at him.
“What is it?”
Zhou Bei glanced in the direction Lin Nanxun had gone, then lowered his head and spoke softly to Shen Hanzhi.
“You were right—they’ve tracked down Lin Zhenghe, and they’re still searching for Miss Lin…”
It seemed Lin Zhenghe had sensed something and hurriedly sent Lin Nanxun here.
As Zhou Bei finished speaking, Shen Hanzhi’s expression turned grave.
“Do we need to make any preparations?” Zhou Bei asked.
Shen Hanzhi pressed his thin lips together in silent thought, then furrowed his brow and asked Zhou Bei, “When is Su Bei coming back?”
“She’s finished her business and should be able to return to City N in a few days,” Zhou Bei replied with a nod.
Hearing this, Shen Hanzhi’s gaze darkened as he pondered.
...
In the morning, as soon as Lin Nanxun arrived at Ron’s studio, Ye Ning approached her with a mysterious look, curiosity brimming in her voice.
“Nanxun, who was that handsome guy who came to pick you up yesterday?”
That man was just too good-looking!
Caught by Ye Ning, Lin Nanxun looked bewildered and instinctively edged closer to the wall.
“Is he your boyfriend?” Ye Ning asked again when she didn’t reply.
Boyfriend?
Hearing Ye Ning’s words, Lin Nanxun was stunned for a moment. Was she talking about the bad guy...?
