Chapter 198 Tonight I'll Just Be the Driver (Cheng Yubai)
It was already dark when we came out of the restaurant.

Cheng Yubai's car was parked on the side of the road not far from the alley entrance.

Shen Zhaoyi didn't follow him forward. Instead, she sat on a folding chair at the store entrance, took out her phone, and prepared to call the driver to pick her up.

Upon seeing her actions, Cheng Yubai stopped in his tracks.

"not going home?"

"Go back." Shen Zhaoyi didn't even look up. She had already found Old Wang's name and was about to call it. "Now that we've eaten, we won't trouble Dr. Cheng any further."

Cheng Yubai bent down, his eyes unreadable, "So you're just using me and then dumping me?"

Shen Zhaoyi corrected, "Your description is incorrect. We only made an appointment to have a meal."

"Besides," she sighed with some regret, "you're my bed partner, not my driver. How could I possibly ask you to give me another ride?"

If it weren't for that kiss in the coffee shop, I might not have wanted to go through all that trouble.

But after reflecting on it, Shen Zhaoyi realized that she seemed to be accepting Cheng Yubai a little.

This is not a good sign.

If we really let him go back later, it's uncertain whether we can get rid of him.

Given the current situation, Shen Zhaoyi has no plans to develop any substantial relationship with Cheng Yubai. After all, he is only pretending to be weak right now. She will only proceed to the next step when he is truly willing to become the one being controlled.

Just as the call was about to be made, the phone was suddenly snatched away.

Cheng Yubai tapped his thumb, hung up the phone, straightened up, and compromised, "Let's go, I'll just be the driver tonight."

Shen Zhaoyi didn't move, clearly disbelieving.

Then I heard him add, "You need to rest well after your trip."

That's even weirder, isn't it?

Is Cheng Yubai really that considerate of others?

Seeing that she still didn't react, Cheng Yubai stretched out his finger and pointed it towards the sky.

"I swear, I really will take you back." The finger then turned and pointed to the surrounding environment. "It takes your driver almost half an hour to get here. There are a lot of mosquitoes here, be careful you don't get bitten all over your legs."

As if to confirm his words, after Cheng Yubai finished speaking, Shen Zhaoyi actually heard mosquitoes buzzing around her ear.

The temperature in City S is even hotter, so she wore a tank top dress today.

It's no different from a walking buffet.

"Alright..." Shen Zhaoyi waved her hand to the side to chase away the annoying thing, then stood up and followed back to the car with some doubt.

After fastening his seatbelt, Cheng Yubai returned the phone to her.

Set the villa's address to the car's navigation system and set off.

It was very quiet all the way.

Shen Zhaoyi tends to feel sleepy after a full meal, and she was feeling drowsy at the moment.

Cheng Yubai gripped the steering wheel, and to keep himself from getting bored, he occasionally tapped the edge of the leather cover with his fingertips in a rhythmic motion.

Amid the rhythmic "thump-thump" sound, Shen Zhaoyi slowly closed her eyes.

She was awakened by a voice saying "We've arrived."

I sat up groggily, my hand already reaching to unbuckle my seatbelt.

Cheng Yubai stopped her from moving, "We're only at the door, don't rush."

Shen Zhaoyi then realized that the glowing building on the right was the community security booth, not the building in her own garden.

"My car isn't registered in the system, so I can't get in," Cheng Yubai said with a helpless tone.

Shen Zhaoyi finally came to her senses.

She called the housekeeper, explained the situation, and handed her phone to Cheng Yubai, saying, "Tell me the license plate number."

Zhou Yi had just made a note in his memo when the call was abruptly ended.

Amidst the busy signal, the words "Is it a temporary entry or a permanent one?" stuck in his throat remained unspoken.

In the end, after a rapid brainstorming session, the brain chose the latter.

Zhou Yi was familiar with Cheng Yubai's license plate number.

After all, he was the one who went out to bring the person in last time, so naturally, he hadn't forgotten what happened at the gate that day. They'd already... you know, their relationship should be what he thought, right?
Choose the latter without hesitation!
Zhou Yi was quick to act; within three minutes, he called again to say that we could go in.

As the barrier gate was raised, Cheng Yubai saw that on the display screen next to him, "Temporary Entry" had changed to "Welcome Home".

His fingers finally stopped tapping the steering wheel.

Actually, that was his only goal from the beginning.

With freedom of movement in and out, who cares whether they can have someone to eat tonight?

For hunters, patience is paramount.

A confident smile appeared on Cheng Yubai's lips as he skillfully turned towards the direction of Shen Zhaoyi's house.

The gate outside the villa was normally closed at night when it got dark.

But just after Shen Zhaoyi's call was disconnected, Zhou Yi, who had already finished get off work, notified Xu Meng that the boss was already at the entrance of the residential area.

Therefore, Cheng Yubai can drive straight in at this moment.

When the car stopped in front of the main building, before the headlights were even off, Xu Meng, who was standing on the steps, was already ready to greet it.

But when she saw the person getting out of the driver's seat, she couldn't hide the shock on her face.

I thought the boss had called a private car.

did not expect……

When she saw Shen Zhaoyi getting out of the car from the other end, she quickly composed herself and went over to greet her, "Zhaoyi, you're back!"

At this moment, Cheng Yubai had already taken the luggage out of the trunk and had just pulled out the handle.

Xu Meng had long since developed a keen eye for these things.

"I'll do it, I'll do it." With that, he took it from her and strode into the villa without looking back.

He left the space to the two people behind him.

Cheng Yubai watched her retreating figure with admiration, "You found these people, they're all pretty good."

Whether it was the housekeeper just now or the nanny now.

They were all very savvy.

Shen Zhaoyi naturally knew what Xu Meng was thinking. She looked away and began to urge her on: "I'm home, you should go now."

After what happened at the restaurant entrance, Cheng Yubai had gotten used to her attitude of abandoning those who had helped him.

However, being too obedient isn't really in my nature.

He took a half step forward, his gaze suggestive, "Aren't you going to invite me in for a while?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhaoyi stepped back to create some distance, reminding her, "Don't forget you're just the driver tonight."

"I work for you, and you won't even let me have a glass of water?"

"Don't you have some in your car?"

Shen Zhaoyi was too lazy to engage in any pretense with him.

Cheng Yubai's plan backfired.

However, since the main objective for tonight has been achieved, it doesn't matter whether we get in or not.

"Oh? Really? I really forgot." He replied without the slightest embarrassment, "You're quite observant; you fell asleep as soon as you got in the car but still remembered everything in it."

Shen Zhaoyi pretended not to notice his sarcasm and said directly, "I still have to go upstairs to pack, so I won't keep you any longer. Go home early."

Cheng Yubai knew when to stop.

Before leaving, he asked again, "When do you plan to leave S City again?"

"I'm not sure yet, it depends on my mood."

"Alright." Cheng Yubai returned to the car, and the window slowly rolled down.

He looked intently at Shen Zhaoyi, "Then let's reschedule for another day~"

Shen Zhaoyi ignored her and turned to go inside.
