Chapter 62: We’re Going Home (2)
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Milkbiscuit
This time, he couldn’t even be bothered to put up a front. The key was clearly not headed towards Liang Jiusi in the first place. It slammed against the mouth of the woman sitting next to the one who’d been hit by the card.
Under the pain, the woman couldn’t help but let out a shrill scream.
Lin Jiage glanced at the woman and shrugged helplessly. With a tone devoid of any sincerity, he said, “I’m really sorry about that. I wasn’t paying attention and missed.”
Lin Jiage didn’t even bother waiting for the two women to react before turning to Liang Jiusi. “Those are the things you wanted. Pick them up yourself.”
When did he ask Lin Jiage for these things?
Having drunk a fair bit, Liang Jiusi was feeling a little disoriented. “When did I…”
But Lin Jiage didn’t even bother giving Liang Jiusi the chance to finish his sentence. He turned around and left without any hesitation.
He took two steps forward before turning his head slightly to confirm that the dull-witted Soft Bun was following him. Only then did he pick up his pace.
But speaking of which, weren’t those two women a little too nosy?
Hadn’t they gossiped enough outside the restroom? How dare they continue to gossip after returning to the suite?
Did they really think that Soft Bun was a bun that they could pinch and pull as they liked, or were they taking him, Lin Jiage, as nothing more than an ornament in the room?
Thinking of this, Lin Jiage couldn’t help but sneer coldly inside. After which, he took out his phone, searched for Liang Jiusi’s number, and began typing: [After you leave the party, remember to deliver my dining card and dorm room key to my house.]
…
On the way back, Lin Jiage and Shi Yao didn’t look at each other, and neither one said a single word as well.
The driver first drove Shi Yao to her home in the suburbs. It took around an hour before the car came to a halt.
“Miss Shi, we have arrived,” the driver said politely.
At the back of the car, Lin Jiage and Shi Yao were staring out of the windows on their side, not responding at all.
The slow driver didn’t notice the strangeness in the atmosphere. He unbuckled his safety belt, got down the car, headed over to Shi Yao’s side and then opened the door. “Miss Shi, we have arrived.”
Shi Yao muttered “Oh” in a daze but stayed rooted on the spot. It took a while before it finally struck her that she was in front of her house, and she drifted out of the car feeling disconcerted. In the same state, she walked up the stairs leading to her home.
The driver noticed that Shi Yao had left behind her food, which a friend had kindly brought to them while she and Lin Jiage were heading out of Golden Resplendence, so he quickly said, “Miss Shi, please wait.”
However, Shi Yao didn’t seem to hear the driver’s words. She continued drifting upward with sluggish footsteps.
“Miss Yao, you forgot your takeaway.”
Shi Yao walked another two steps forward before coming to a halt.
The driver shut the car doors and delivered the takeaway directly to Shi Yao.
The usually polite Shi Yao even forgot to reply with a word of thanks. After taking the takeaway, she shuffled up the floors and into her house. Afterward, her parents began nagging at her, interrogating her on why she’d come home so late. At some point, she shambled back into her bedroom and onto her bed.
…
By the time Lin Jiage returned to the Lin Family’s old residence, it was already midnight.
“Young Master, we have arrived.”
The driver opened the door for Lin Jiage and stood by the side for a while. Lin Jiage replied with an “Oh” and lowered his head to get out of the car.
After walking to the villa door, he tugged and pulled at it for a very long time, but was unable to pull it open. Seeing this, the driver standing by the car reminded him, “Young Master, you haven’t typed in the password yet.”
