Chapter 91 - "Winter Walk"

Lai Jiayi prayed in her heart so that Zhao Yang would gladly come with her.

'Buying him a drink is just an excuse, though. I don't think I have enough money for that.'

While Lai Jiayi shut her mouth and waited, Zhao Yang blinked fast. The man looked at Lai Jiayi in confusion.

'Why is she offering me to drink? Does she even have money for that?'

"Drink? No, you don't need to– "

"I-I want to treat you!" Lai Jiayi interrupted. The girl looked at Zhao Yang with unwavering eyes. "I-I feel bad if I keep receiving gifts from you, b-boss. T-that's why...if you don't mind…"

Lai Jiayi's chest was pounding hard. She had a feeling that Zhao Yang would refuse.

'No, no, please just let me treat you, ah! If not, the plan will go down in a drain!'

Seeing Lai Jiayi is so stubborn, Zhao Yang furrowed. The guy inhaled and sighed. "...alright. I also want to return that bunny AI to you."

! Eh, Bunnie?

Lai Jiayi blinked. The girl glanced at Yaya with a wry smile on her face.

[Fck. I forgot about that bunny. Thank God Zhao Yang reminds me, ah!!]

In fact, Zhao Yang also almost forgot about it, if not for Tianjin's reminder just now.

[Good thing, quack, Zhao Yang accepts your invite! Now hurry, go, quack!] Yaya urged Lai Jiayi. The duck shifted the conversation so that they won't talk about Bunnie.

'Ha, here I wish Jia forget about Bunnie forever. She doesn't need an additional AI!'

Lai Jiayi nodded. She looked back at Zhao Yang and bowed. "T-then, let's go? I-I know a good cafe around here…" Lai Jiayi's mind traveled to the cafe she visited when she lost her house.

Daily Smile Cafe.

She passed by the cafe before going to the sanctuary. So, the cafe shouldn't be too far—maybe 5 to 10 minutes on foot.

"Alright." Zhao Yang nodded. He waited until Lai Jiayi walked in front of him before he started to walk. The man kept a meter distance from Lai Jiayi while walking next to her.

They immediately went out of the sanctuary, but something unexpected happened.

Lai Jiayi headed to the small parking lot next to the sanctuary gate to get her bicycle while Zhao Yang headed to his car in the opposite direction.

Both of them froze on the spot, realizing that they didn't go in the same direction.

"Uh…" Lai Jiayi smiled sheepishly. She scratched her cheek. "B-boss, you will go by car?" The girl peeked at the car parked next to the sanctuary.

Zhao Yang didn't park his car in the parking lot. The parking lot was too small to fit cars. Thus, it was only used for bicycles, bikes, and smaller vehicles.

"Yes? Of course." Zhao Yang tilted his head. "You will go with me, right?" The man asked back in innocence. He looked like he didn't have a clue about the situation.

Lai Jiayi's lips twitched. The girl peeked at the driver seat and vaguely saw Chu Feng there.

'C'mon...I can't use the car, okay? That's too risky!'

"Uh...t-the cafe is 5 minutes away from here...u-using car is a bit too much." Lai Jiayi smiled again. The girl then lied without batting an eyelid. "T-there's no large parking lot around the cafe either. S-so, I think we should go on foot."

'5 to 10 minutes of walking. I'm sure we can talk freely without those two players obstructing us!'

Zhao Yang paused. The guy looked at Tianjin and secretly asked through telepathy, [What to do? Should I go with her on foot?]

'It's not like I don't want to. But...it is just unusual.'

[If the place is close, then go on, master. Bodyguard Ji will still follow you, so no worries.] Tianjin nodded. [Just leave the car here. Also, you don't have any schedule with Zhao Yun, right?]

[Right.] Zhao Yang nodded. But then, he squinted. [You...sound too calm.]

[Eh, what do you mean, master?] Tianjin flinched. The swan averted her eyes from Zhao Yang's face.

'Did master realize my plan? I was planning to see if Lai Jiayi does anything to my master. If I caught her, I could push her away from my master!'

Zhao Yang didn't know Tianjin's thought. The guy only suspected Tianjin's obedience for a while before putting it aside.

[Alright. Don't do anything weird later. Now, go, get that bunny AI in the car.] Zhao Yang waved his hand, chasing Tianjin away. He didn't realize that he was already defending Lai Jiayi from Tianjin.

[Okay…] Tianjin grumbled and flew to the car. The swan glanced back at Lai Jiayi with sharp eyes.

'Ha, you sly fox. I'll make sure my master catches your underhanded method!'

Tianjin went back in a minute, bringing Bunny on her back. The swan didn't say anything to Chu Feng, leaving the driver clueless. She just told the silver-haired girl to wait for them here.

As for Ji Zhuang, Tianjin signaled the girl to follow them.

[Here, master.] Tianjin tossed Bunnie's motionless body to Zhao Yang's hand. The guy hurriedly caught it and glared at Tianjin.

[Don't be so rough. This child is fragile.] Zhao Yang's face turned dark. He looked at Tianjin with cold eyes as he carefully stored Bunnie in his suit's pocket.

The man then ignored Tianjin and looked at Lai Jiayi, who was already waiting for him with a bike beside her.

"Let's go." Zhao Yang nodded. He pushed Lai Jiayi's shoulders gently, urging her to lead the way.

"O-oh, okay…" Lai Jiayi gripped her bike and slowly pushed it.

[Yaya…I think you can release the gas now, ] The girl commanded out of the blue. She even turned off the protective layer.
