After her identity was stolen, she lived in the short-lived villain's phone.

Chapter 453 Ordinary happiness

Shen Yanzhi owns several properties in Beijing.

To make it easier to travel with Chi Yu, he even moved to a new place, choosing an apartment closest to the Su family's home for temporary accommodation.

This makes it much more convenient for Shen Yanzhi to commute to and from get off work with Chi Yu every day.

The company had only been open for a short time and was very busy, so Shen Yanzhi usually got off work later than Chi Yu. It was rather unusual that he was waiting for Chi Yu in the garage early today.

Hearing Chi Yu's words, Shen Yanzhi explained simply: "I went out this afternoon and met with two business partners. I was able to come and pick you up early after that."

He slowly turned the steering wheel and asked Chi Yu, "Are we practicing driving today?"

Chi Yu nodded: "Practice!"

Chi Yu had always wanted to get a driver's license, but her postgraduate entrance exam had put it off. Now that she had the time, Chi Yu immediately put getting a driver's license on her agenda.

All four members of the Su family have driver's licenses, know the application process, and know that registering their files takes time. So last month, they helped Chi Yu contact a driving school and register her simply.

After returning from Shuoxi, Chi Yu booked her driving theory test (Part 1) and studied for two consecutive nights, successfully passing the test.

These past few days, Chi Yu has been going to the driving school to practice driving every day after get off work.

She signed up for the automatic transmission version. The instructor said that once Chi Yu has mastered the reverse parking skill, she can schedule the remaining tests.

If the exam goes smoothly, Chi Yu can get the certificate in a month.

Chi Yu looked down and pulled out her phone's memo app, silently reading through her driving practice notes from the past few days.

Shen Yanzhi pulled out a cup of milk tea from somewhere, removed the straw, inserted it into the cup, and handed it over: "Here you go."

"Wow." Chi Yu's eyes lit up. She reached out and took the cup of milk tea, only to find that it was hot and in her favorite flavor. Chi Yu stirred it with the straw: "Where did you buy it?"

I've been busy all afternoon and haven't even had much afternoon tea.

Seeing this cup of milk tea, Chi Yu realized she was a little hungry.

Seeing her happy, Shen Yanzhi's eyebrows curved slightly: "I was just on my way here."

He slowly started the car and took Chi Yu to the driving school.

Chi Yu lowered her head and gulped down a mouthful. "Delicious!"

Shen Yanzhi's lips curled up: "How delicious is it?"

After exiting the parking lot and merging onto the main road, there is a traffic light.

While waiting for the green light, Chi Yu handed the milk tea directly to Shen Yanzhi: "Want to try some?"

Shen Yanzhi lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the cup of milk tea in front of him.

He doesn't really like sweets, and apart from drinking milk tea when he was in school, this is the first time he's ever bought any.

It wasn't that Shen Yanzhi was stingy or frugal to buy a cup; rather, he didn't actually want to drink it when he placed the order.

It wasn't until he saw how happy Chi Yu was drinking that Shen Yanzhi casually asked a question.

Shen Yanzhi lowered his head and gently took a sip, his cheeks moving slightly. The warm, soft taro-flavored milk tea aroma instantly filled his mouth.

"How is it? Not bad, right?" Chi Yu tilted her head and smiled at Shen Yanzhi before continuing to drink her milk tea.

As soon as the red light turned on, Shen Yanzhi slightly loosened his foot on the brake, and the white sedan slowly moved forward with the flow of traffic.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he swallowed the milk tea, yet the aroma lingered on his lips and teeth.

The car was warm and cozy inside. Sitting in the passenger seat, Chi Yu was looking down at her phone's memos, muttering to herself, and occasionally taking a sip of milk tea.

This seemingly simple life was something Shen Yanzhi had never experienced before.

Back when Chi Yu was still a smartphone addict, those little dough figurines would appear on the screen, so lifelike. He kept his phone in a car mount, so he could see it just by lowering his gaze slightly.

At the time, Shen Yanzhi thought that meant a long and lasting companionship.

Only now did he truly feel enveloped in the subtle, gentle happiness of life.

Shen Yanzhi's inner emotions were churning violently, but he remained outwardly calm.

Only after driving her to the driving school did he unbuckle his seatbelt, lean forward into the passenger seat, grab Chi Yu's hand to prevent her from getting out of the car, and say reservedly, "Yu Yu, I still want to drink."

……

Chi Yu practices driving for about half an hour to an hour every day.

While she was practicing driving, Shen Yanzhi sat in his own car until Chi Yu finished her practice, and then the two left together.

Within a few days, everyone at the driving school knew that Chi Yu had a boyfriend who looked aloof and handsome but was actually incredibly clingy.

After Chi Yu finished her driving practice, Shen Yanzhi drove her home.

At this time of year, Su Zhengye and Su Chengyan, who usually don't have many social engagements, would also arrive home.

When Liang Mingshu saw Shen Yanzhi's car, she knew that Chi Yu had gone home.

She stood at the gate with a smile on her face, watching Chi Yu and Shen Yanzhi get out of the car, and said, "You're back just in time. I was just about to call you."

Chi Yu walked briskly up the steps: "Mom, what's for dinner tonight?"

Shen Yanzhi followed steadily behind her, carrying a box of cherries. "Tonight we're having ginseng and old hen soup, which has been simmered in a clay pot for two whole hours," Liang Mingshu said with a smile. Noticing that Shen Yanzhi was carrying something again, she couldn't help but pretend to be angry and gave Chi Yu a reproachful look: "Don't you keep an eye on your boyfriend? Why are you having him bring things over again?"

When the Su family learned that Shen Yanzhi was picking up and dropping off Chi Yu at get off work every day, they actually hesitated.

However, finding a trustworthy and reliable driver wasn't easy, and they couldn't very well refuse Shen Yanzhi outright, so they turned a blind eye to Shen Yanzhi picking up and dropping off Chi Yu at get off work.

Liang Mingshu and the others originally planned to send their own drivers to pick up and drop off Chi Yu when Shen Yanzhi was absent. Unexpectedly, Shen Yanzhi arrived at the villa gate on time every morning, and after get off work in the afternoon, he not only took Chi Yu to the driving school, but also drove her home steadily without the slightest impatience.

They even learned from Chi Yu that Shen Yanzhi had moved out of his previous residence and into an apartment closest to the Su family's home.

His intention in doing this was clearly to make it easier to pick up and drop off Chi Yu at get off work.

The Su family are not unreasonable people. Even though Chi Yu and Shen Yanzhi are now in a relationship, Liang Mingshu does not think it is something he should do.

Since Shen Yanzhi is good to Chi Yu, Liang Mingshu will naturally be good to Shen Yanzhi.

Considering that Shen Yanzhi lives alone, and after several warm invitations for him to stay for meals, Liang Mingshu suddenly had an idea: why not just let Shen Yanzhi have dinner at the Su family's house every day! After all, he lives alone!

Whether Shen Yanzhi is used to eating out or cooking at home, nothing beats eating at the Su family's house – it's healthier and more convenient!

Su Zhengye and his two sons all agreed.

Thus, Shen Yanzhi successfully secured his place at the Su family's dining table.

In the first few days, perhaps out of embarrassment, or perhaps out of ingrained manners and etiquette, Shen Yanzhi never came empty-handed. He would always bring something with him, sometimes food such as cherries, blueberries, and strawberries, and sometimes a jar of bird's nest or other tonics.

Liang Mingshu would always say a few polite words to him, telling him not to be so polite.

After several times, Liang Mingshu found that Shen Yanzhi continued to bring things without fail, so she strictly forbade Shen Yanzhi from bringing anything. She invited Shen Yanzhi to eat at her home because she liked him and didn't want him to spend money every time.

Chi Yu paused, turned around, and then noticed the fresh cherries in Shen Yanzhi's hand.

Shen Yanzhi smiled and said, "Aunt Liang, it has nothing to do with Yu Yu, she doesn't know. This was a gift from our business partner today. They gave us two boxes, and I can't finish them all by myself, so everyone can have them as dessert later."

Liang Mingshu didn't believe it.

Cherries, strawberries, blueberries, durian.

Every time Shen Yanzhi brought fruit, it was his daughter's favorite.

After entering the house, as the two stood side by side washing their hands at the sink, Chi Yu slightly raised her elbow and gently nudged Shen Yanzhi, lowering her voice: "Was that box of cherries really a gift from our business partner?"

Shen Yanzhi replied calmly, "Yes."

Chi Yu looked delighted, as if she had been hit by a pie: "What a coincidence? I just said I wanted to eat cherries yesterday, and someone brought them to you today. My luck is just too good!"

Shen Yanzhi calmly nodded: "I think so too."

As she left, Chi Yu chuckled to herself as she watched his tall, straight back.

Weird.

He clearly bought it himself.

She could already see the familiar name of the fruit shop.

What kind of business partner delivers fruit without their own company logo?

However, she was indeed lucky. She survived the ordeal, not only finding her family but also meeting a wonderful lover.

He didn't know when it started, but Su Muyang found that his favorite time of day had changed from morning to evening, or more precisely, dinner time.

The Su family doesn't have a rule about not talking while eating. Every time the family gathers together for dinner and chats, it feels like a reassuring and warm recharge.

Even with the addition of Shen Yanzhi, it remains the same.

At the dinner table, the topics of conversation were rather scattered, as if everyone was saying whatever came to mind.

As they were finishing their meal, Su Muyang put down his chopsticks and suddenly said, "I'm going to Harbin next week."

"Huh?" Chi Yu asked in confusion, "What are you going to Harbin for?"

"They're going on a trip too, Su Jiamu and the others are going as well." Su Muyang looked at Chi Yu expectantly: "Yu Yu, they even asked if you wanted to come along."

As if she had expected it, Liang Mingshu said to Chi Yu, "They go to Harbin every winter and are particularly fond of skiing."

Su Chengyan nodded: "It seems they also like to go to XJ, and they go several times every year."

"Oh, okay." Chi Yu had never skied before and wasn't very interested in it: "I'm at work, so I'd better not go."

Normally, Su Muyang would definitely advise Chi Yu that there's nothing fun about going to work, and that she should enjoy the world while she's young.

But today, his mind was occupied by other things, and Su Muyang couldn't help but reveal a sly expression: "I have something to tell you guys."

"hold head high?"

Chi Yu turned to look at him.

The others at the table also turned their heads and looked at Su Muyang.

Su Muyang forced a smile and said, "Su Huan has been fired."
