Chương 99: Zhang Yu Han, Good Night

After the four of them had their meal, Zhang Jing instructed his grandson to send Li Qin Yao back to B City, while he was going to take a lift from his granddaughter.

At the thought of spending more time with Li Qin Yao, Zhang Yu Han immediately agreed. It was in his plan to drive her home. Even though it would take almost an hour's drive back and forth from Y City to B City at a time like this, Zhang Yu Han did not mind at all.

However, the same thing couldn't be said to Li Qin Yao. Upon seeing that grandfather was insistent to have his grandson send her back, Li Qin Yao was helpless. She did not want to be bothersome to Zhang Yu Han. Driving back and forth between two cities would be tiring.

Even though Zhang Yu Han had convinced her that he did not mind, Li Qin Yao thought that she should not be taking advantage of him. Li Qin Yao knew that if she suggested Zhang Yu Han to drop her at the train station, he would definitely disagree.

In the end, Li Qin Yao pulled out her phone and dialed Han Yue Xiu's number. Once she told her friend that she will be staying over at her house, Han Yue Xiu immediately agreed.

As the call ended, Li Qin Yao felt as if something was not right in Han Yue Xiu's voice. At the thought that she was going over to Han Yue Xiu's place anyway, Li Qin Yao was less worried. She then called her mother to inform her that she will be staying over in Y City and went back to find Zhang Yu Han.

The man was leaning on his Cayenne when Li Qin Yao returned. When he heard the footsteps, Zhang Yu Han stood up straight and turned towards the sound. "Finished with your call?"

Li Qin Yao felt her ears tingle at his deep vibrating voice. There were only two of them at the parking lot. Earlier, Zhang Yu Ying and her grandfather had returned first, leaving them both alone. Li Qin Yao pulled her hair to cover both her ears and nodded at his question.

Zhang Yu Han moved to the passenger seat to open the door for Li Qin Yao.

"Zhang Yu Han," Li Qin Yao paused at his side.

"Hmm?"

"You… could you send me over to Han Yue Xiu's house?"

Zhang Yu Han stared at her face for a few seconds longer. "You're staying over at your friend's house?"

Li Qin Yao nodded again. "It's late. I think it would be better if I stay over at my friend's place. This way I won't worry that you have to drive back from B City to Y City on your own."

Hearing that she would worry about him, Zhang Yu Han felt his heart warmed. "Alright. Get in."

Li Qin Yao hopped into the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt as she waited for Zhang Yu Han to start the engine. When Zhang Yu Han started to drive, Li Qin Yao turned to look at him. "You remember Han Yue Xiu's address?"

"Hmm… I still remember the way." It was not too long ago that he drove them both back to Han Yue Xiu's place. Since Han Yue Xiu was Li Qin Yao's closest friend, Zhang Yu Han made it his business to remember her address.

Li Qin Yao leaned on her seat and looked out the window to enjoy the night light.

"Did you enjoyed the food?"

Li Qin Yao turned when she heard his voice. "Un. It was delicious. I heard a few good reviews about the restaurant when Yue Xiu invited me to the restaurant. I'm glad that it did not disappoint."

Zhang Yu Han smiled. This should be the first time he had a meal with both Li Qin Yao and his grandfather. As he watched the two of them ate happily, Zhang Yu Han understood that the two of them shared the same traits. They were both foodies! The two of them would encourage each other to try different dishes.

Seeing the way Li Qin Yao would pick some food for his grandfather, Zhang Yu Han was jealous. However, the harmonious scene really warmed his heart. He knew that his grandfather genuinely like Li Qin Yao.

"That… Will you return to B City in the morning?" Zhang Yu Han asked as they almost reached to Han Yue Xiu's place.

"Yes, I still have to go to the office. Since your friend had agreed to invest, there are so many things to do. We can pick up our pace and finished earlier."

Zhang Yu Han nodded. As they have arrived at Han Yue Xiu's place, Zhang Yu Han parked his car at the side road. "Then, the next morning, I will come over to pick you up." As he noticed that her movement has paused, Zhang Yu Han let out a cough. "Anyway, we are going in the same direction."

"Then, I can only bother you," Li Qin Yao gave him a bright smile.

"It's no bother," Seeing that she had agreed, Zhang Yu Han was relieved. He exited his Cayenne as Li Qin Yao was gathering her belongings and opened the door for her.

"Thank you." Li Qin Yao stepped out of the vehicle and staggered. Anyway, from Zhang Yu Han's Cayenne, her legs were a bit short to reach the ground. Moreover, her hands were full. One hand was holding her knapsack, and another was holding her purse.

Just as she thought that she was going to knock her head on the door, a warm hand was holding her arms and helped her to stabilize herself.

"Are you alright?"

Li Qin Yao shivered. Because they were standing too close, Zhang Yu Han's voice sounded deeper than usual. Fortunately, it was dark at night. Or else, Zhang Yu Han would able to notice her reddened ears. Li Qin Yao lifted her head and met Zhang Yu Han's worried gaze. "I'm fine."

Once he was assured that there was nothing wrong, Zhang Yu Han retracted his hands. It was then that he realized that he had one hand on her arm, and another on her waist. "Sorry," he took a step back to give her space and peeked at her expression. He let out a breath of relief seeing that she was not angry. He did not want her to misunderstood that he was taking advantage of her. "Let me hold your bag for you."

Li Qin Yao did not reject his offer. She passed him her purse before she slid her knapsack on her shoulder. Once her hands were free, Li Qin Yao took her purse from him. "Thank you. I should go up now."

Zhang Yu Han nodded, though he was a bit reluctant. He shut the passenger door and watched as Li Qin Yao walked over to the apartment. He was not planning to leave until he had seen her enter the building safely.

Just before she stepped on the stairs, Li Qin Yao turned around to look at him and smiled. "Zhang Yu Han, good night. I'll see you tomorrow."
