Chapter 553: President Zuo’s Help (8)
Translator: 549690339
After the opening ceremony of the conference, a few designers wanted to drag Anhao out for supper. Anhao had drunk a lot with Huang Amao last night, and her headache had not yet subsided. After all that had happened at the conference, she really did not want to go.
However, he had just wanted to join the designer circle. It would not be good to reject him so bluntly.
Anhao was talking to a few designers at the door. Suddenly, a black high-end business car drove over and flashed its headlights in her direction.
The designers around her looked at the car curiously, but Anhao recognized it as the car that Zuo Hancheng had brought her to retrieve the computer.
The black MPV stopped in front of Anhao, The door opened and Lin Qing got out of the car.
“Miss Gu.” In front of everyone, Lin Qing smiled and said politely,”’If you don’t have any other social events tonight, you can take our car back to the hotel. It just so happens that President Zuo wants to hear your thoughts on the company’s reconstruction project.”
Anhao knew that Lin Qing was helping her escape, but from their angle, they could not see Zuo Hancheng in the car. They could only see the driver.
She nodded and said to the designers behind sorry, okay, I’ll go with President Zuo’s secretary first. Let’s talk about supper another day. Anyway, it’s just the opening ceremony today, and there are still two more days before it ends.’
“Alright then, let’s meet another day. Remember to join the group.”The few designers had no choice but to let go of Anhao. They raised their hands and pointed at Anhao’s phone, telling her not to forget to enter their designer chat group.
Anhao smiled and nodded her head. It was only when the few of them turned around and left that she turned to look at Lin Qing,””Sister Lin Qing, thank you so much for today.”
“Why thank me?” Without President Zuo’s permission, how would I dare to help you?”Lin Qing said meaningfully, then gestured for her to get into the car.””I wasn’t helping you out just now. Get in the car. Since we’re staying in the same hotel, we’ll go back together.”
Anhao looked up at the car in front of her and hesitated for a moment. “What’s wrong?” Lin Qing looked at Anhao strangely when he saw her unmoved expression.
“This place is not far from the hotel. I can go back by myself…”
“What are you afraid of? No matter what, President Zuo did you a big favor today. He won’t eat you up.”Lin Qing smiled as he opened the door to the backseat.””Hurry up and get in the car. It’s going to rain soon. Go back to the hotel and rest early. There’s an official exchange meeting tomorrow and the closing ceremony the day after tomorrow.”
Since Lin Qing said this, Anhao couldn’t get rid of her pride. Furthermore, if she turned around and left now, it would seem like she didn’t appreciate it and was too coquettish.
She had no choice but to walk to the back of the car. Just as she was about to get into the car, she saw Zuo Hancheng sitting on the leather chair behind the driver. He was calm and quiet. He did not look at her and seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.
However, it was definitely not Lin Qings intention to suddenly stop the car. Lin Qing did not have the guts to do so.
Anhao got into the car but tried to keep a distance from Zuo Hancheng.
Fortunately, there was plenty of space in the minivan, and there were plenty of seats in the back. She sat on the leather chair opposite Zuo Hancheng and did not move or speak. She would rather Zuo Hancheng just sit there and fall asleep than to make the atmosphere awkward.
Otherwise, she did not know what to say to Zuo Hancheng. If their eyes met, she would probably have nothing to say except thank you.
It was obvious that Zuo Hancheng did not intend to break the quiet atmosphere. After so many years, this was the first time the two of them were so close to each other in three years. In the space of the same car, the distance between them was less than one meter.
It was as if she could breathe in the familiar scent on his body, the scent that used to give her a strong sense of security every time she smelled it.
Lin Qing didn’t say anything else after getting into the car. Lin Qing and the driver were very quiet. The air in the car wasn’t as stuffy as other private cars, or there was the smell of air freshener and perfume. The car was very clean and there was no smell at all, so she could clearly feel Zuo Hanchengs aura.
He did not sleep. After all, they had lived together for so long three years ago. There was a certain difference in the frequency of his breathing when he was asleep and when he was not asleep. However, he was very calm. It was obvious that he had no intention of opening his eyes to look at her.
Anhao only hoped that time would pass quickly and that she could get to the hotel as soon as possible so that she could avoid this awkward and uncomfortable feeling.
Finally, Anhao was about to open the car door when she saw that the chauffeur had already gotten out of the car and opened the door on Zuo Hanchengs side.
The car was parked at a spot that was not suitable for her to open the door. Even if she opened the door, she could not get out. This was a spot that was close to the wall, so she could only follow Zuo Hancheng and get out from the other side of the car.
After Zuo Hancheng got out of the car, Anhao picked up her bag and got out of the car. As the car door closed behind her, Zuo Hancheng, who had been walking in front without looking back, suddenly looked back.
Anhao thought that they would not have much interaction on the way back and would return to the hotel to rest, so she had been looking for her room card. Suddenly, she felt Zuo Hanchengs gaze on her and she raised her head to meet his eyes. When she saw the coldness in his cold black eyes, her hand that was rummaging through her bag froze. When she finally found her room card, she slowly took it out and was about to turn around and enter the other elevator. She didn’t want to take the same elevator as Zuo Han.
However, Lin Qing asked her curiously when she was about to turn around,””Miss Gu, that elevator can only go to the odd floor. It can’t go to the eighth floor.”
Could Anhao say that she would rather climb the stairs than take the same elevator as Zuo Hancheng?
However, when Zuo Hancheng looked back, it was as if he was just looking back inadvertently. He did not look at her intentionally or do anything intentionally. Seeing that he had already entered the elevator, the driver was waiting for them at the elevator door. In order not to delay the time for the others upstairs to use the elevator, Anhao could not dawdle any longer and could only follow Lin Qing.
The moment she stepped into the elevator, Anhao instinctively went behind Zuo Hancheng and stood behind him to look at his back. It was much more comfortable for her than standing in front of him.
This man was tall and straight as usual. He stood behind him and when he looked up, he could only see his shoulders..
