Chapter 363 - 193: Confession Session

"I’ll 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 didn’t need her to worry for the time being.

So, Lin Ping felt relieved and smiled as she patted Zheng Yanfei’s head.

"I’m closing the shop for a bit. Let’s go."

’My aunt’s taking me?’

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 didn’t really buy it..."

Although Lin Ping desperately wanted to distance herself from her relationship with Lin Shen, her personality wasn’t 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."

’Lending it?’

Zheng Yanfei clearly didn’t believe her aunt’s words.

Who would lend someone a brand-new car!

It was obviously a gift, wasn’t 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.

"Don’t tell me he’s one of your suitors, Auntie? He must be really good to you, giving you a car!"

"What suitor? Feifei, don’t talk nonsense."

Lin Ping’s pretty face flushed red, which made Zheng Yanfei even more certain of her suspicions. She teased,

"Oh, come on! What’s the big deal? You’re divorced now, Auntie. You’re single again, so what’s wrong with having a suitor? It’s 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. I’ll tell you on the way."

"Hehe."

Zheng Yanfei, visibly excited, sat down in the passenger seat, her inner gossip burning fiercely.

"Let me guess... He’s the owner of this Shennan Pet Society, isn’t 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, isn’t it?"

Seeing Zheng Yanfei’s grinning face, Lin Ping’s heart skipped a beat.

’So scary!’

’This girl, Feifei, her observation skills and thinking are too meticulous!’

’I feel like if she really found out about President Lin’s existence, it wouldn’t take long for her to deduce that President Lin and I are lovers!’

"..."

Seeing Lin Ping purse her lips and say nothing, Zheng Yanfei’s beautiful, curious, blinking eyes sparkled with a stunning brilliance.

"What does he look like? How old is he? Where’s he from? Is he one of those especially charismatic middle-aged uncle types?"

"Well, he is very charismatic."

Although Lin Ping wasn’t good at lying, it didn’t mean she couldn’t 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! He’s a good match for you, Auntie."

"I’m not good enough for him."

Lin Ping gave a self-deprecating smile as she turned the steering wheel.

"He’s 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 weren’t for that, I’m afraid our paths would have never crossed in this lifetime."

"But that’s what you call fate!"

Zheng Yanfei suddenly thought of Lin Shen.

If it weren’t 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. There’s no need to be so resistant."

Zheng Yanfei felt it was time to consider her aunt’s future happiness, so she offered a round of analysis and comfort.

"Whether or not you’re a match should be for him to decide. If he really thought you weren’t good enough, he wouldn’t have given you a car, right?"

"The fact that he did this shows that you’re very important to him. If you refuse, it’ll really hurt his feelings."

"Is that so..."

Zheng Yanfei’s words did put Lin Ping’s 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!"

"Nothing’s even started yet."

Lin Ping thought for a moment, her tone a little shy.

"If I really do get together with him, I’ll tell you first thing. How about that?"

"Okay!"

Seeing Zheng Yanfei’s inexplicably happy expression, Lin Ping’s heart warmed. She suddenly changed the subject and asked curiously,

"By the way, since you’re so concerned about my love life, Feifei, what about yours?"

"You’re so pretty, there must be a lot of guys chasing you at school, right? Is there anyone you like?"

"Well, there is someone."

Zheng Yanfei’s face suddenly turned shy, and she fidgeted, twisting her hands in front of her.

"He’s a really handsome guy, and his personality is great too. I like him a lot! It’s just that... it seems like he’s not interested in me."
