Love You Till the End-Chapter 998 - 997: Looks Like Your Parents Are Still Very Traditional

Hearing this, Ye Han suddenly chuckled, "You’re already so grown up, and your family still controls you so tightly."

Su Jiuyi frowned, not saying anything.

Before leaving, the two of them informed the waiter about the untidy kitchen, but the waiter was very polite and said it was okay, telling them just to remember to take their belongings.

"Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to leave like this?" Su Jiuyi, who had already sat in the car, recalled the mess in the kitchen.

"You can just treat the owner of the place and your friend to a meal later." Ye Han fastened his seatbelt, "That way, you might even make a wealthy friend, and if possible, you could ask her for some tips about running a store."

Su Jiuyi, after fastening her seatbelt, paused for a moment, as if she had figured something out: "Right, why didn’t I think of that?"

Ye Han looked ahead, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"By the way, where should I drop you off?" The car slowly drove on the commercial street, which was crowded with people under bright lights. He slowed down and asked Su Jiuyi beside him.

Yeah, she definitely couldn’t let Ye Han drop her off at the Shi Family residence. Who knows if those bodyguards were still following him; where should she get off?

"Where can I catch a cab?" Su Jiuyi made up an excuse, "It’s better if I take a cab back. My family is pretty strict, and I can’t let them know I’m out with a guy."

She didn’t want him to know she was currently staying at the Shi Family’s place.

Ye Han laughed, "Looks like your parents are pretty traditional."

"Ah... yeah, haha." Su Jiuyi replied with an awkward laugh.

Unconsciously, the car was already off the commercial street, and Su Jiuyi let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, there was no traffic jam.

Getting stuck on a commercial street for three or four hours is entirely normal; if there’s any further delay, tomorrow’s hiking plan might have to be postponed.

"Uh... let me off in front," Su Jiuyi pointed towards the direction of several stopped taxis as she spoke to Ye Han.

"Is dropping you off here okay?" he asked gentlemanly.

"Yes," Su Jiuyi nodded, "Thanks for today."

"No problem, we’re friends now, right?" Ye Han slowly parked the car by the roadside.

"Of course we’re friends," Su Jiuyi patted his shoulder generously, "In the future, I’ll appreciate it if you look out for your little brother."

That’s where they parted, and Su Jiuyi, standing on the steps, watched as Ye Han’s car drove further away, exhaling a long breath.

As soon as she turned around, she was startled by the neatly lined up bodyguards behind her.

"Where did you all pop up from?" She hadn’t seen their car behind earlier and thought they had lost her.

It turns out she had underestimated the Shi Family’s bodyguards.

"Miss Su, are we heading home now?" the leading bodyguard stepped forward to ask.

"Yes, let’s go back." She nodded slightly.

The lights at the Shi Family’s residence are always turned off late, and under the moonlight, the flickering lights of the villa resembled a layer of ethereal gauze.

After getting out of the car, Su Jiuyi jogged into the hall, then ran up the stairs in one breath to the floor where Shi Aoju’s room was located. The door was tightly locked, and it seemed no one was there.

She should ask the bodyguards.

She slapped her forehead and silently cursed herself for being so stupid, then briskly walked to the main entrance.

As she passed by the garden, she glanced at the spot where Shi Aoju often parked his car but didn’t see the shadow of his beloved vehicle.
