Chapter 603: 383 Creating Sins: Old Debts Unpaid, New Debts Incurred (2 more updates)_2

Shen Shuci hardly believed that Jiang Jinsang leaking the rumor about himself and a female star was a deliberate act to cover up his own infringement issue.

“I and Xiaowu will handle it, you don’t need to worry…”

“I want to worry, but I can’t really help,” Shen Shuci said while on the phone and clocking out of the office. As soon as she stepped out, she saw that familiar car and paused for a moment.

…

Since getting drunk that day, they hadn’t seen each other. Shen Shuci had no recollection of that drunken day, only knew that he had taken her home, and that she had staggered into her building. She couldn’t remember the rest.

However, there was a cup of water by her bed and a meticulously folded towel on her forehead for cooling, clearly someone’s handiwork, so she had specifically sent him a message last night.

[“I’ll be starting work tomorrow.”]

[“I know.”]

[“You don’t need to go out of your way to drop me off, I’ll manage on my own.”]

Shen Shuci felt her relationship with him had fallen under some sort of spell. She went to the Huo Family to secretly learn how to cook fish, and it bothered him all afternoon. And after getting overly drunk, it was he who personally took her home.

She meant to thank him, but in the end, it always turned into causing him trouble. The more she wanted to thank him, the deeper she felt she owed him.

It was like being trapped in Rashomon, unable to escape.

The reply she received was: [“Okay.”]

He was always reticent, even his replies were concise. Shen Shuci looking at his message felt he wasn’t insisting on driving her to and from work, which should have pleased her. Yet seeing his response “okay,” she felt oddly unsettled.

Shen Shuci had just approached the Huo Family’s car when the rear door opened, and he had already stepped out to open the car door for her.

“Mr. Huo?”

“Get in, then we’ll talk.”

Right now, at the company entrance, his car was a limited edition model, too conspicuous. Shen Shuci could only get into the car first; he stood by the car, raising his hand to shield her head to avoid hitting the car roof…

Although there was no physical contact, his actions made Shen Shuci’s ears redden slightly.
