God of Racing

Chapter 636 - 623

Working non-stop all day, Yu Sangwan quickly adjusted to the intensity.

However, adjustments in spirit and mindset will still take some time.

Two meetings during the day, a site visit and work guidance, and attending a work dinner at night, not stopping for a moment.

By the time it was over, it was almost nine o’clock.

In the side room, Helian Si was sobering up, which was his habit. After checking the journalists’ interview notes, Yu Sangwan pushed the door open and entered—it seemed she was alone with him, as Ou Guanshen was likely busy and not present.

Yu Sangwan held her breath, wondering if she should quietly slip away without notice?

"Coffee."

As she was cautiously moving backward, she was abruptly instructed by Helian Si, who had his eyes closed.

Yu Sangwan paused and had no choice but to respond, "Yes."

Approaching him, she thought for a moment and ended up giving him a cup of water, not coffee. Slightly warm, she handed it over. "President, water."

"Hmm." With eyes closed, Helian Si lifted his fingers to grip his tie, pulling it left and right—a simple gesture that exuded male charm. Whenever Lu Jinxuan did this, Yu Sangwan would always be flustered.

Holding the cup with his slender fingers, he tilted his neck and took a sip.

"Hmm?" Helian Si opened his eyes, frowned, and complained, "What is this?"

Yu Sangwan looked at him with a calm expression, "It’s water, H2O, water, water..."

Helian Si: "..."

Of course, he knew it was water.

"I’m asking, why is it water?" he frowned, subtly complaining, "I want coffee."

Yu Sangwan said nothing, blinking her big eyes at him innocently.

"..." Helian Si was stunned, and his thinking rhythm surprisingly changed. He explained to her, "I want coffee, C8H10N4O2, Coffee!"

Yu Sangwan was shocked that Helian Si could even recite the chemical formula for coffee!

Helian Si felt awkward; he barely knew this girl for a few days, yet he’d been led astray by her way of speaking?

"Cough." With two clear coughs, Helian Si maintained a disgruntled demeanor, "Swap it for coffee!"

"There’s none." Yu Sangwan shook her head, offering him two fingers, "One milk, two water, you choose!"

"..." Helian Si was astonished, curious, "Why these two choices? Can I have a third option?"

"No." Yu Sangwan shook her head, pointing to his hand.

Only then did Helian Si realize his hand was unconsciously over his stomach... His stomach felt a bit uncomfortable.

"President." Yu Sangwan bluntly said, "If your stomach is uncomfortable, drink less coffee... Besides, you just drank alcohol; I’m thinking of you."

Helian Si fell silent, dismissively smiled, "Do I have to take orders from you now?"

"It’s not about handing you orders." Yu Sangwan spoke earnestly, "Haven’t you entrusted life matters to me and Secretary Ou? Since Secretary Ou isn’t here, I have to finish my duties properly; otherwise... how would I deserve the high salary Guan Chao pays me!"

He listened to her justifications, all formal rhetoric, and frowned impatiently, "So, still no coffee?"

"Yes." Yu Sangwan nodded decisively, smiling and gesturing to the tea room, "You can make it yourself. I can’t really stop you from doing that!"

"..." Helian Si felt defeated; he wanted to but had never done such a thing before... He didn’t know how.

Frowning, Yu Sangwan slightly bent down, pushed the water cup closer to his lips, "Drink it! You’re an adult, not a child, surely you don’t want milk, right?"

Albeit frustrated, Helian Si... didn’t resist, bowing his head to obediently drink the water.

Yu Sangwan pursed her lips, realizing that Helian Si seemed a bit...adorable?

Ou Guanshen came in after finishing his tasks, "President, heading back now?"

"Hmm." Helian Si set down the water cup and stood up, "Let’s go back."

Ou Guanshen nodded, "Yes..."

Turning to Yu Sangwan, he advised her, "You can get off work now. Arrive by ten o’clock morning tomorrow, no need to be too early."

"Alright."

Following at the back, Yu Sangwan watched as Helian Si suddenly stopped, turning back to glance at her, "It’s late, get a car to take her home."

"Huh?" Yu Sangwan quickly shook her head, "No need, someone’s picking me up."

Just as she said this, her phone vibrated in her pocket. She hadn’t taken any personal calls throughout the day, the phone had been on silent...

With work done, Yu Sangwan took out her phone, smiling, "Can I answer this call?"

"Hmm." Helian Si nodded slightly.

Yu Sangwan turned slightly away, answering the phone, "Hello?"

Her tone was gentle, obviously indicating her close relationship with the caller.

Helian Si frowned slightly, as he walked forward, still hearing her voice.

"Mr. Lu! You really came to pick me up, huh? Hehe... Glad, of course, I’m glad! I just finished work, thank you for coming to fetch me this late. Since it’s my first day at work, it’s allowed, but not afterward! It’s late, I’d be worried if you don’t sleep..."

Helian Si: "..."

Heading out the door to the inner courtyard, he was still thinking about Yu Sangwan’s phone call.

Very strange, why does it keep bothering him? Like bewitched...

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and asked Ou Guanshen, "Guanshen, does this Yu reporter... have a boyfriend?"

"Hmm?" Ou Guanshen was startled and chuckled, "A smart, beautiful, and capable girl like Yu the reporter should have one, right? That call sounded like her boyfriend calling... What’s up?"

Helian Si raised an eyebrow, "What do you think?"

Ou Guanshen reacted, realizing, indeed! Yu the reporter couldn’t freely date or marry! Her unique status, like those in Guan Chao Village, required significant scrutiny and assessments.

"It’s a lapse on my part."

Ou Guanshen hurriedly bowed to apologize, "Tomorrow, I’ll inquire thoroughly about this. This matter requires attention."

"Hmm."

Helian Si felt satisfied, yet... as if a little worm was climbing in his heart unnoticed. Crawling and meddling, making his heart itch...

What was this feeling? Helian Si had never felt this before, couldn’t quite understand.

...

At Guan Chao Village’s entrance, Fu Xianlin drove over, bringing Little Bun to pick up Yu Sangwan.

"Mom!" Little Bun dashed over, his chubby body leaping onto Yu Sangwan, "Was it tiring, exhausting?"

"Upon seeing Mr. Lu, all the tiredness disappeared!"

Yu Sangwan kissed her son, settling into the car. "Dad, no need to pick me up; it’s such a hassle."

"Haha." Fu Xianlin chuckled, "That won’t do. Unless A Sheng returns, if it’s too late, I still need to pick you up. You can’t drive yourself—"

Here, he paused suddenly.

Through the rearview mirror, he noticed a slight change in Yu Sangwan’s expression.

"Dad, drive! I’m okay."

Indeed, Yu Sangwan dared not drive, fearing fire...
