Chapter 119: Not Meant for Him?

“What is that?” His eyes flickered as he suddenly asked her.

The girl only looked down at the object in her arms, neither raising her head to look at him nor answering his question.

Seeing her like this, Shen Hanzhi’s expression grew complicated, recalling the day her uncle had brought her to his home...

She had been just as timid then.

“Is it for me?” Remembering what Zhou Bei had said earlier, he pursed his lips and asked her again.

This time, Lin Nanxun finally responded, gently shaking her head in denial.

The milk tea had already gone cold and wasn’t pleasant to drink anymore.

...

It wasn’t for him?

Shen Hanzhi was momentarily speechless.

Since getting into the car, she hadn’t uttered a single word, not even glancing his way.

This made Shen Hanzhi feel increasingly irritated.

He furrowed his brows, staring at the item in her arms for a long while. After a silence, he suddenly spoke.

“I’m thirsty.”

Originally, this was meant for the gloomy girl beside him.

---

But, as always, there were a few who lacked awareness.

“Boss, there’s a convenience store up ahead. I’ll go get you some water,” Zhou Bei said quickly upon hearing Shen Hanzhi express thirst, while still driving.

After speaking, he parked the car in front of the store, opened the door, and went inside to buy water.

“...”

Shen Hanzhi’s face darkened as he watched Zhou Bei return swiftly with the water.

“Boss, here’s your water...” Zhou Bei got back into the car and handed a bottle to him from the driver’s seat.

Shen Hanzhi glanced at the water in Zhou Bei’s hand, then expressionlessly took it, shooting Zhou Bei a sharp look afterward.

“Focus on driving,” he said with displeasure.

“Yes, boss...” Zhou Bei looked confused, glancing at Shen Hanzhi. Didn’t the boss say he was thirsty? Had he done something wrong?

On the way back, Lin Nanxun sat quietly for a while before realizing the milk tea in her arms had been cold for quite some time. The milk tea was in a large cup, different from the small boxed drinks before, so even holding it in her arms made it difficult to warm up...

She silently took out the straw, opened the seal, and inserted it into the cup.

She took a sip, the cold sensation making her fair, delicate face scrunch up.

So cold...

Shen Hanzhi’s gaze never left her, and seeing her expression after drinking the milk tea, his own face darkened.

---

Then, just as she furrowed her brows at the cold milk tea but still intended to take another sip, his eyes suddenly grew cold. In one swift motion, he reached out and snatched the cup from her hands!

Sure enough, it was cold...

He frowned, staring at the cup in his hand.

Well, no wonder; so much time had passed since she went to his lounge, the drink was bound to have cooled.

His sudden action startled her. Lin Nanxun quickly turned her head, looking at him with a flustered expression.

“Bad guy...”

That was the first thing she said after getting into the car.

“It’s cold. You’re not allowed to drink it,” Shen Hanzhi said sternly, his gaze fixed on her.

Drinking something so cold in this weather would upset her stomach!

And with her petite frame, consuming such a large cold drink would surely make her catch a cold the next day!

“But it’s such a waste...” Lin Nanxun looked at the milk tea in his hand, reluctant.

Seeing the regret on her face, Shen Hanzhi’s expression softened.

“I’ll drink it.”
