With that said.
Lin Yu generously showed his phone to Shen Buyao.
If he didn't let her take a peek, there would be no suppressing her curiosity.
Shen Buyao blushed, muttering under her breath:
"Don't falsely accuse me. Who wants to look? I certainly don't..."
She sounded incredibly stubborn.
But her eyes completely betrayed her true thoughts.
She didn't miss a single word of the WeChat chat history displayed on Lin Yu's phone!
Perhaps it was a habit formed from her work.
Looking from a distance just wouldn't do!
She specifically lowered her head a bit, leaning in close to stare hard at it.
Shen Buyao read aloud: "I've been waiting for you... I'm not in a rush..."
Lin Yu: "Just reading it is enough, right? There's no need to read it out loud!"
Hearing Lin Yu's protest, Shen Buyao got fired up instead.
She pointed at Lin Yu's phone and said fiercely:
"Look at this! Just look at it!"
"What kind of person is this? You've only known each other for one night, and she's already chatting like this?"
"If you two knew each other for a few more days, wouldn't she directly start discussing positions with you?"
Lin Yu glanced forward: "???"
The taxi driver was still driving smoothly.
But from his angle, he could clearly see the corner of the driver's mouth twitching.
What kind of place was this to say such things!
Antique Sister was way too bold, just dropping dirty jokes out of nowhere?
Lin Yu quickly pulled his phone back, half-jokingly asking Shen Buyao:
"Yaoyao, the way you are acting right now..."
"You couldn't be jealous, could you?"
Shen Buyao froze for a few seconds.
Then she pointed at herself, revealing a look of disbelief:
"Me? I'd be jealous of her? Lin Yu, are you out of your mind?"
"Hahaha, that's too funny. How could I possibly be jealous of her!"
"She has absolutely nothing to do with me, and she's no one to you, so why on earth would I be jealous of her?"
"You are really something!"
Saying so.
Shen Buyao crossed her arms over her chest and sat up straight.
Lin Yu: "..."
He had originally just wanted to make a joke.
Little did he expect.
Shen Buyao's reaction to be so dramatic.
That awkward response meant she was purely triggered!
If they weren't out alone together, Lin Yu would have almost forgotten.
The triggered Yaoyao was like a runaway wild horse...
"Driver! Why are you looking back at me instead of watching the road while driving?"
"Are you laughing at me? I'm just taking a ride, did I offend you somehow?"
Lin Yu: "!!!"
The driver was clearly startled by the sudden attack.
It's human nature to enjoy a good show.
Even the calmest person would find it hard not to peek at what was going on after hearing such a conversation!
He just happened to make eye contact with Shen Buyao, which was more than a little awkward.
The driver quickly said:
"No, no, beautiful lady, don't misunderstand."
"You two lovebirds should talk things out calmly. I don't know what kind of spat you're having."
"Anyway, between a couple, if you just have a good chat, what misunderstanding can't be resolved? Don't you agree?"
Leave it to an old driver!
He sure knew how to smooth talk!
With every "lovebirds" and "couple," the angry furrow of Shen Buyao's brows melted right into the corners of her lips.
She was smiling so smugly!
Shen Buyao didn't have a trace of anger left.
Her heart felt as sweet as honey!
Shen Buyao: "Driver, what's your surname?"
Driver Yu: "My surname is Yu, the Yu with the hook."
Shen Buyao: "Driver Yu, you have no idea what kind of absurd situation I've run into."
Driver Yu: "Oh? Is it really that outrageous?"
Shen Buyao: "It really is that outrageous! Just yesterday..."
Driver Yu: "What happened?"
Shen Buyao: "A woman met him for the very first time, and told several of us that she was going to pursue him!"
Driver Yu: "Whoa~~!"
Lin Yu: "..."
Heh, great, just great.
Catch a cab, and it comes with a free hype man.
This cab ride was truly maxing out the emotional value.
Lin Yu raised his hand, trying to stop her.
But Shen Buyao mercilessly swatted his hand aside.
She continued to shoot the breeze with the driver as if Lin Yu wasn't even there.
They don't call him a veteran driver for nothing; he had seen a lot of the world.
Every point Shen Buyao made with righteous indignation received an equally indignant response from the driver.
As the conversation went on.
Lin Yu somehow ended up being painted as a scumbag who didn't initiate, didn't reject, and took no responsibility!
He was so incredibly wronged!
Forcing himself through the feeling of sitting on pins and needles, Lin Yu barely held on until it was time to get out of the car.
When Lin Yu was about to pay the fare, Driver Yu said straightforwardly:
"Little brother, I'll give you a discount!"
"Make sure you keep your eyes wide open, don't let anyone seduce you away."
"We men can't do things that betray our own wives!"
Lin Yu nodded repeatedly, offering an apologetic smile as he said:
"Understood, understood. Don't worry, sir. Drive safe."
As soon as the taxi drove off, Shen Buyao clasped her hands behind her back, completely afraid to meet the dark-faced Lin Yu's gaze.
She could only point awkwardly at the departing taxi and stammer:
"This driver is a pretty good guy... right?"
"He even gave us a discount and didn't take a detour."
"Tsk, rare, truly rare."
The reason she didn't dare look Lin Yu in the eye...
...was because while bitterly denouncing Huang Feiya's "wicked" behavior...
...she hadn't missed the chance to throw in plenty of sarcastic jabs at Lin Yu.
Otherwise...
...why would the driver have given him such a warning?
Shen Buyao looked left and right.
She spotted Huang Feiya, dressed in a sexy black slip dress, walking gracefully toward them.
Forgetting about trying to coax Lin Yu, Shen Buyao quickly warned him:
"Ahem, she's here!"
"Give me some face. Let's pretend what just happened never occurred and talk about it when we get back."
When out in public, who doesn't care about their dignity?
Especially in front of a "mortal enemy," one had to keep up appearances.
If Huang Feiya were to notice that the two of them were bickering the moment they arrived...
...wouldn't that play right into her hands?
She would definitely launch a fierce offensive on Lin Yu!
How could she let such a thing happen?
Saying this, Shen Buyao quickly stepped close to Lin Yu's side.
Though they weren't doing anything intimate, standing shoulder-to-shoulder was enough to make a statement about their relationship.
Since Shen Buyao had put it that way...
...Lin Yu naturally had to give her some face.
Judging by the current situation, Huang Feiya was definitely more of a threat than a friendly face.
There was no need to let someone who suddenly barged into his life affect his relationship with Yaoyao.
Otherwise...
Once this was all over, it would make things awkward when he was alone with Yaoyao later.
"Miss Huang, have you been waiting long?"
Lin Yu took the initiative to greet her.
He even nudged Shen Buyao with his elbow, signaling her to stop scowling.
Extremely reluctantly, Shen Buyao raised her hand and gave a half-hearted wave in greeting.
Huang Feiya gracefully approached them, extending her hand with a smile:
"Not too long, I just arrived a moment ago."
Lin Yu politely shook hands in response.
When it came to social etiquette, it was truly impossible to find any fault with Huang Feiya.
After shaking hands with Lin Yu, she took the initiative to extend her hand toward Shen Buyao.
Even though Shen Buyao felt a million ounces of disgust in her heart, she still chose to shake hands.
Except during the handshake... she deliberately squeezed hard!
And said pointedly:
"Miss Huang, you're dressed quite revealingly today!"
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
