Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 159

Chapter 159 We’re Being Open and Aboveboard
Shao Boqing hurriedly stopped her, “Alright. I agree, okay?”

Zhou Ting winked proudly, asking, “Boss Shao, is there someone in your car?”

Shao Boqing glanced at her unhappily, replying, “Mind your own business.”

Zhou Ting deliberately teased him, “Oh, so this is a secret? Are you hiding a great beauty or something?”

Shao Boqing lowered his voice and replied, “Just go and wait at the back of the queue. You’ve been standing here all the time. Others will have complaints.”

“Thank you, Boss Shao. I’ll wait for you at the back!”

Looking at Shao Boqing’s helpless and panicky expression, Zhou Ting returned to the back of the queue with a beaming expression. She whispered to Du Xiaoxian, “Boss Shao will buy us the barbecue in the front. Let’s just stand here and pretend to be in queue.”

Du Xiaoxian was an honest person. She felt a little embarrassed when she heard this plan. Everyone was queuing in such a cold day. If they squeezed themselves in the line, the people in front of them would need to stand in the cold wind much longer.

Zhou Ting stood there for a while, realizing that something was wrong. How could Shao Boqing be threatened by her? As the famous Young Master Shao of G City, even if he really intended to make someone a cuckold, he would still act openly. He definitely wouldn’t hide anything. Also, the woman who could make Young Master Shao queue in the street and buy the barbecue regardless of minding his image and reputation was indeed extraordinary. Zhou Ting instantly had a strong curiosity towards the woman in the car.

Their barbecue was finally delivered. Shao Boqing gave Zhou Ting her portion and then greeted Du Xiaoxian. Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something and asked, “How are you going back?”

Zhou Ting said smilingly, “You don’t have to worry about us. I drove the company car here.”

Shao Boqing had already returned to his playful manner as usual. He glanced at the car in the street and patted Zhou Ting on the shoulder, saying, “You have to be careful. It’s your future boss lady that will be sitting in your car!”

Zhou Ting replied impolitely, “Boss Shao, don’t be too proud of yourself. Be careful not to scare the beauty in your car!”

“You have such a sharp tongue. Be careful that no man dares to marry you.”

“Humph, you don’t have to worry about me.” Zhou Ting glared at him and pulled Du Xiaoxian to walk to the side of the car. After getting into the car, Zhou Ting did not start it but say to Du Xiaoxian, “I will take you to play an adventurous game today.”

Du Xiaoxian was completely confused and said, “Aren’t we going to have grilled fish?”

Zhou Ting opened the barbecue bag and gave her one skewer of meat. “Have this first.”

Du Xiaoxian took it. Seeing Zhou Ting stretching her neck to look around towards the direction of Shao Boqing’s car, she felt even stranger, asking, “Sister Zhou, what are you looking at?”

Zhou Ting replied to her, with her eyes still fixed on Shao Boqing’s car, “Xiaoxian, Boss Shao’s new girlfriend is there in his car. Do you want to have a look?”

Du Xiaoxian said, “Mr. Shao has already left. How can we see her?”

“I have a way.” Zhou Ting opened the car door. “Get out of the car. The adventurous game starts now.” She took a taxi on the roadside and sat in with Du Xiaoxian. She pointed at Shao Boqing’s car and said to the driver, “Master, please follow the car in front of you. Be careful not to follow it too close.”

The taxi driver was a warmhearted middle-aged man. As he tried his best to follow up the car, he gossiped and asked, “Lady, is that your husband’s car in the front?”

Zhou Ting pretended to be surprised, “How do you know?”

The middle-aged driver revealed a complacent expression, saying, “There’s also another woman in the car, right?”

“Ah! Master, you are truly amazing. How do you know all of these?”

“This isn’t the first time I have encountered this kind of things,” said the middle-aged driver. “Such things happen a lot in today’s society. Take it easy. If he can come back to you, you can still live a good life together. After all, you are husband and wife. This is not easy.”

Zhou Ting failed in holding back her laughter, which was seen by the middle-aged driver through the rear-view mirror. He couldn’t help but feel a little strange, “How can you still laugh?”

Zhou Ting said, “I am so stimulated that my mind is a little confused. Master, he is driving a sports car. Don’t lose sight of him.”

The middle-aged driver turned the steering wheel and drove to the behind of a black sedan. “Don’t worry, I can guarantee you that I won’t lose it. I’ve been working as a driver for more than ten years. I won’t dare to say anything else but at least I can still keep up with a car,” he said.

After the taxi passed through the traffic light, Zhou Ting saw Shao Boqing parking his car by the side of the road. The middle-aged driver asked, “What should we do now? Should we stop here too?”

“No need, just slow down.” Zhou Ting saw Shao Boqing open the car door and get out to throw away the barbecue skewers. She thought to herself that it turned out the woman sitting in the car was a foodie, who had eliminated a bag of barbecue so quickly, even faster than her and Du Xiaoxian.

The taxi slowly drove over. Through the half-open window, Zhou Ting saw a familiar face. Although it was a little far away, although what she had seen was only a side face, Zhou Ting was sure that she was not mistaken. Damn it. She cursed in her heart. The woman Young Master Shao was hiding was actually Nina! The one she couldn’t find all over the world. Nina, the one she had been worried about all the time, was actually sitting in Shao Boqing’s car right now!

“Stop the car!” Zhou Ting shouted, taking out money and throwing it to the driver, then she said to Du Xiaoxian, “Hurry! Get out of the car!”

Just as Shao Boqing returned to the driver’s seat and tied the belt, he heard someone shouting from outside, “Those two in the car, you’re not allowed to move. You’ve been surrounded!”

Nina rolled her eyes at Shao Boqing and said to him, “What did I say? Zhou Ting is not an ordinary person. I told you to pay attention, but you still didn’t think so! Now she’s gotten us, hum?”

“So what? What are you afraid of?” Shao Boqing said, “We are being open and aboveboard.”

As they spoke, Zhou Ting had already pulled open the back door and sat inside. She even called for Du Xiaoxian to sit in as well. Noticing Zhou Ting’s angry expression, Nina was about to greet her with a smile when she was immediately stopped by Zhou Ting’s stare.

“Nina, this is how you treat me?” Zhou Ting couldn’t control her anger and said, “What kind of friendship did we have? Since you intended to leave, you didn’t even tell me about it. You also changed your phone number. I couldn’t find you anywhere, and I didn’t know what happened to you. I got anxious whenever I thought about it, and I was even planning to go to your house this New Year to see what was going on. How can you do this? Boss Shao said that you had left G City. But the truth is you’ve been staying with him all this time? Now that you’re staying together, how’s that embarrassing? What’s wrong with that? Why did you keep it secret? Is this something so shameful?” After saying that, Zhou Ting turned to vent her anger on Shao Boqing, “Boss Shao, you knew where Nina was but didn’t tell me, right? Was it fun to see me worried? What type of people are you guys?” Normally, Zhou Ting didn’t dare to say such serious complaining words. But in this case, it was mainly because her anger had reached a point where she was no longer able to control what she said.

Shao Boqing usually wouldn’t be affected by Zhou Ting’s such words. Who was she? How come she dared to shout in front of him? But he could only endure it now, as Nina kept silent.

After being fiercely scolded by Zhou Ting, Nina didn’t say anything for a long time, but her eyes turned slightly red. She and Zhou Ting started working for the Gu Group around the same time. One of them as the secretary to the president, and the other as the secretary to the general manager. Since their office rooms were on the same floor, they had frequent contacts and were naturally more intimate than others. In addition, both the two of them came from other cities. After work, they went shopping and dining together, or played ball games and went swimming on weekends. If it was late at night, they would stay at each other’s houses as if in their own places. The two of them felt like they were close sisters, and they were almost inseparable. However, she shouldn’t have left without saying a word. Indeed, she shouldn’t have made Zhou Ting get so anxious either, but… All she was thinking about at that time was to leave the environment that was related to Shao Boqing, so that she didn’t have much time to consider anything else. But then, she didn’t make it. She once intended to get in touch with Zhou Ting, but at the same time, she hesitated for fear that Zhou Ting wouldn’t forgive her. With that, matters had dragged on. Just now, when she sat in the car and saw Zhou Ting and Du Xiaoxian, she had guessed that she wouldn’t be able to escape today. Then Zhou Ting really caught up with them.

Zhou Ting noticed that Nina didn’t say anything, so she shouted at her again, “Speak now. Who are you showing your wronged face to?”

Seeing this, Shao Boqing was naturally unhappy and said, “Zhou Ting, it’s almost enough. Diandian is of no relations to you at all!”

Before Zhou Ting could speak, Nina glared at Shao Boqing, “Who said that? I’m her younger sister.”

At this time, Zhou Ting finally calmed down. “Humph, you still recognize me as your sister. Whether I recognize you as my sister or not is hard to say.”

Explanations were of no use. Nina lowered her voice and apologized, “Sister Zhou Ting, I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

It was rare for Nina to call her sister so seriously, but Zhou Ting was still a little indignant, “That’s all?”

“I’ll treat you to lunch. Choose a day or let’s just make it today. You can choose whatever you want to eat!”

Zhou Ting asked Du Xiaoxian, “Someone is going to treat us to lunch. Do you still want to have grilled fish?”

“Anything is okay with me,” Du Xiaoxian said.

“Then let’s just have grilled fish,” Zhou Ting said with a decided tone.

Shao Boqing, on the other hand, had unspeakable suffering. He had managed to ask Nina out for lunch and booked a luxurious romantic restaurant, but in the end, his plan was completely ruined by this matter.

Nina didn’t like Shao Boqing very much, and she didn’t give him much of a smile. However, when she was with Zhou Ting and Du Xiaoxian, it was as if she was a different person. She quickly regained her former pleasant temperament. She even sat in the back and squeezed in between them. Nina and Zhou Ting hadn’t seen each other for a long time. There were really so many things to talk about. They were chattering nonstop. Since Du Xiaoxian didn’t like to talk, and Shao Boqing couldn’t interrupt their chatting, he completely ended up as the driver for the three beauties.

After arriving at the grilled-fish restaurant, Shao Boqing parked his car and then came to join them. The three beauties had already taken their seats. Nina and Zhou Ting sat on one side, and the seat next to Du Xiaoxian was naturally reserved for him.

Shao Boqing winked at Zhou Ting. Zhou Ting was quite tactful. She stood up and said, “I’d better sit with Xiaoxian and not get in your way.”

Nina tugged at her arm and said, “Ah, just sit down. What can I talk with Shao Boqing?” She even smiled at Shao Boqing while speaking, “Right? Boss Shao, are we good?”

Shao Boqing could only let out a dry chuckle. He sat down and said, “Zhou Ting, I’m currently pursuing Diandian. I haven’t succeeded yet, so nothing has happened between us.”

Zhou Ting was shocked, saying, “You two are so familiar with each other, and you still have to pursue her? That’s so pretentious.”

Du Xiaoxian, who had been sitting silently, suddenly said, “Mr. Shao is a blockhead. He will definitely conquer Sister Nina.”

Shao Boqing was stunned. He simply couldn’t believe what Du Xiaoxian had said. When did the little girl learn to curse people? He didn’t provoke or offend her. Why did she curse him for no reason?

Zhou Ting and Nina were also stunned for a moment, and then they burst into laughter. Especially Zhou Ting, who was leaning forward on the table and laughing crazily. Nina covered her belly with a painful expression, “Oh, I can’t laugh anymore. My belly aches.”

But when Du Xiaoxian saw that they were laughing to this extent, she still explained seriously, “Don’t you guys believe me? I’m telling the truth. Mr. Shao can definitely conquer Sister Nina with such a blockhead manner.”
