Chapter 849

Court Me

Yang Chen didn’t know about it and wasn’t surprised either, knowing how stubborn Zhenxiu was.

She still hoped to be independent, despite being under someone else's care, even if she no longer regarded herself as an outsider.

Also, Starmoon Group hadn’t been in touch since Park Jonghyun left, so there was no way of knowing what had happened with the former president. Perhaps they had given up on trying to reclaim her.

Guo Xuehua said, “Yang Chen, why don’t you pick up Zhenxiu later since you’re free? It’s not safe for a girl to be taking the bus so late in the night.”

“It’s fine, no guys would win against her.” Yang Chen giggled.

Guo Xuehua glared at him. “Would it kill you to pick her up? Ruoxi would’ve gone if she was free.”

Yang Chen couldn’t find a reason not to so he nodded. It didn’t make sense to him however. If she wanted to work and had it all planned out, there was no reason for him to drive over.

Yang Chen drove off an hour after dinner to the restaurant that Guo Xuehua mentioned.

The crowd was no joke since it was peak season. During the day, the beach was packed. Then at night people would be having seafood at hawker stalls while enjoying the sea breeze.

Palm trees swayed along the wind under the night light. The golden sand looked especially soft, illuminated by the moonlight.

Yang Chen hummed as he enjoyed the sea breeze after parking his car. The air was filled with the smell of smoke along the hawker stalls.

Some moments later, he found the hawker stall where Zhenxiu was working at near south side of the beach.

She was wearing an old yellow dress with a greasy apron around her waist. Her hair was tied up into a ponytail. She did not notice him approaching in the distance as she was busy wiping down tables.

She was drenched in sweat even though it was a windy night.

After cleaning the last table, she looked up and saw Yang Chen. Her hands shot up and she waved at him after being startled for a while. “Brother Yang, why are you here?”

Yang Chen walked into the booth and looked around. “Mom asked me to come and pick you up. She’s worried about you taking the bus yourself. Why are you alone, where’s your boss?”

Zhenxiu laughed weirdly. “Boss and the other workers went out for a drink. I can leave when I’m done cleaning and wait for them to come back.”
