164: You're the Driver, You're the Boss (2)

You're the Driver, You're the Boss (2)

What did getting on the backseat have anything to do with you being a driver?1

Shi Yao looked at Lin Jiage in confusion, not knowing what to say.

On the other hand, Lin Jiage was rendered speechless.

Do you not get the hint?

It seems like the world is indeed unfair. Despite being fellow humans, there's such a huge gap in intelligence between one and the other...

Lin Jiage was silent for two seconds before he patted the passenger seat and said, "Sit here."

You're the driver, you're the boss.

Shi Yao replied with a long "Ohhh" and then got out of the car to get on the passenger seat.

After fastening his seatbelt, Lin Jiage was just about to start the engine when he noticed that Shi Yao hadn't put on her seatbelt yet. So, he shot her a glance to prompt her.

On the other hand, Shi Yao noticed Lin Jiage's glance but assumed that he was checking something out in her direction. She followed his gaze and looked over as well, but there didn't seem to be anything to see. Thus, she turned to give Lin Jiage a questioning look.

That look... Does she still not get the hint?

How troublesome... Lin Jiage grumbled disdainfully inside as he unfastened his seatbelt and leaned his entire body over to pull Shi Yao's seatbelt into place.

His actions were too abrupt, causing the unprepared Shi Yao to be stunned for a moment. She raised her gaze to stare at him blankly.

At this moment, his upper body was right in front of her. His face was so frighteningly close that she could vaguely feel his breath.

Shi Yao's heartbeat quickened.

On the other side, after fastening Shi Yao's seatbelt, Lin Jiage casually shot a glance at her, only to be met with a pair of dazed eyes staring intently at him.

Lin Jiage's body froze on the spot. It took a moment before he raised his hand to ruffle her head lightly and said, "The first thing you should do after getting in a car is to fasten your seatbelt."

After which, he moved back to his seat, fastened his own seatbelt, and began driving the car.

Silence filled the car, but there was an indescribable feeling of intimacy lingering in the air.

Lin Jiage's hand on the steering wheel seemed to be slightly stiff. Eventually, he pulled down the window and turned on the radio.

A warm breeze swept into the car, accompanied by a soothing melody, warming up the two awkward souls.

...

Lin Jiage's car stopped at W Mall.

Shi Yao had never been to this mall before. Even so, from her association with Liang Mumu, she knew that it was a place where top-notch international luxury brands were gathered. Any item picked on a whim could very well have a five-digit price tag[1] attached to it.

She knew that the Lin Family was wealthy, but was Lin Jiage's allowance that high?

Shi Yao followed Lin Jiage into an elevator in the mall as she subconsciously reached for her pocket.

Why was there such a vast difference between humans? My monthly allowance is only a four-digit figure, but for him, the minimum value of a simple gift is something worth five digits.

While Shi Yao was complaining endlessly on the inside, Lin Jiage suddenly spoke up, "Where should we head to first?"

"Er…" Shi Yao instantly returned from her thoughts, but Lin Jiage's abrupt question had stumped her.

She pondered for three seconds before saying, "Actually, I'm not too sure what Sis Jiayi likes. However, I know that she likes a wide variety of things."

"Bags, makeup, clothes, shoes, accessories, plants, flowers, ceramics... Basically, Sis Jiayi likes everything that's beautiful and expensive."

"Of course, there are a lot of things in this world that are both beautiful and expensive, so I'm not sure what would be a good gift for her either."

"That's not a problem. We can start looking from the first floor," Lin Jiage said.

"Sure," Shi Yao replied, thinking that Lin Jiage's suggestion sounded reasonable. A moment later, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Right, did you bring enough money with you today? The items here are quite pricey."
