Chapter 363: Chapter 193: Confession Session
"Iâll take you back to school."
Lin Ping had been chatting with Zheng Yanfei for a while, getting a complete picture of her recent life and academic situation.
She was doing pretty well and didnât need her to worry for the time being.
So, Lin Ping felt relieved and smiled as she patted Zheng Yanfeiâs head.
"Iâm closing the shop for a bit. Letâs go."
âMy auntâs taking me?â
Zheng Yanfei was a little confused, but when she followed Lin Ping to her new car, her eyes widened completely.
"Auntie, you bought a car?"
"Not exactly... I didnât really buy it..."
Although Lin Ping desperately wanted to distance herself from her relationship with Lin Shen, her personality wasnât suited for lying. So, after a moment of conflict, she answered honestly.
"Someone is temporarily lending it to me, so I can take Anan to school."
âLending it?â
Zheng Yanfei clearly didnât believe her auntâs words.
Who would lend someone a brand-new car!
It was obviously a gift, wasnât it!
"Who?"
Zheng Yanfei stared intently at Lin Ping, which made her lower her head in embarrassment and mutter softly.
"A friend."
"A friend, huh..."
Zheng Yanfei said with a grin.
"Donât tell me heâs one of your suitors, Auntie? He must be really good to you, giving you a car!"
"What suitor? Feifei, donât talk nonsense."
Lin Pingâs pretty face flushed red, which made Zheng Yanfei even more certain of her suspicions. She teased,
"Oh, come on! Whatâs the big deal? Youâre divorced now, Auntie. Youâre single again, so whatâs wrong with having a suitor? Itâs not something to be ashamed of... Tell me, who is he?"
"Umm..."
Lin Ping bit her lip, feeling that what Zheng Yanfei said did make some sense.
If this topic had come up back when she was married, it definitely would have been unethical and immoral.
But now that she was single, there was nothing wrong with enjoying a romantic life, right?
So, after a moment of hesitation, Lin Ping gestured to Zheng Yanfei.
"Get in the car first. Iâll tell you on the way."
"Hehe."
Zheng Yanfei, visibly excited, sat down in the passenger seat, her inner gossip burning fiercely.
"Let me guess... Heâs the owner of this Shennan Pet Society, isnât he?"
"How did you know?"
Lin Ping, who had just started the car, was truly shocked. She suddenly felt her reaction was a bit too much, so she quickly covered her mouth, averted her gaze guiltily, and rephrased the question.
"Why would you think that?"
"Looks like I really guessed it!"
Zheng Yanfei lifted her slightly smug little face, her analysis perfectly logical.
"This morning, you were the only one in the shop, Auntie, which means you have the keys. You were even able to take cash out of the register for me."
"Do you think a boss would let a regular employee keep the keys and manage the money? It means he must trust you unconditionally to do something like that!"
"Thinking about it that way, the conclusion is obvious, isnât it?"
Seeing Zheng Yanfeiâs grinning face, Lin Pingâs heart skipped a beat.
âSo scary!â
âThis girl, Feifei, her observation skills and thinking are too meticulous!â
âI feel like if she really found out about President Linâs existence, it wouldnât take long for her to deduce that President Lin and I are lovers!â
"..."
Seeing Lin Ping purse her lips and say nothing, Zheng Yanfeiâs beautiful, curious, blinking eyes sparkled with a stunning brilliance.
"What does he look like? How old is he? Whereâs he from? Is he one of those especially charismatic middle-aged uncle types?"
"Well, he is very charismatic."
Although Lin Ping wasnât good at lying, it didnât mean she couldnât go along with what Zheng Yanfei was saying.
This ambiguous acknowledgement also made the little girl think that the owner of Shennan Pet Society was really a middle-aged uncle!
"An older man is great! Heâs a good match for you, Auntie."
"Iâm not good enough for him."
Lin Ping gave a self-deprecating smile as she turned the steering wheel.
"Heâs a successful entrepreneur. The pet shop is just a small part of his investments. It was just a coincidence that I used to be the manager here, and we got to know each other over time."
"If it werenât for that, Iâm afraid our paths would have never crossed in this lifetime."
"But thatâs what you call fate!"
Zheng Yanfei suddenly thought of Lin Shen.
If it werenât for their chance encounter at the Chanel counter that day, she probably would have never interacted with such a perfect and outstanding dreamboat in her life.
So, fate really is a mysterious thing!
"Since fate has brought you together, you should just let nature take its course. Thereâs no need to be so resistant."
Zheng Yanfei felt it was time to consider her auntâs future happiness, so she offered a round of analysis and comfort.
"Whether or not youâre a match should be for him to decide. If he really thought you werenât good enough, he wouldnât have given you a car, right?"
"The fact that he did this shows that youâre very important to him. If you refuse, itâll really hurt his feelings."
"Is that so..."
Zheng Yanfeiâs words did put Lin Pingâs mind at ease, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Thank you, Feifei. I feel much better now."
"Right?!"
Zheng Yanfei was slightly excited.
"So when can I meet him? A photo would work too!"
"Nothingâs even started yet."
Lin Ping thought for a moment, her tone a little shy.
"If I really do get together with him, Iâll tell you first thing. How about that?"
"Okay!"
Seeing Zheng Yanfeiâs inexplicably happy expression, Lin Pingâs heart warmed. She suddenly changed the subject and asked curiously,
"By the way, since youâre so concerned about my love life, Feifei, what about yours?"
"Youâre so pretty, there must be a lot of guys chasing you at school, right? Is there anyone you like?"
"Well, there is someone."
Zheng Yanfeiâs face suddenly turned shy, and she fidgeted, twisting her hands in front of her.
"Heâs a really handsome guy, and his personality is great too. I like him a lot! Itâs just that... it seems like heâs not interested in me."
