Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 64 - Excuses

After a certain somebody courted death by teasing Demon King Shen, the entire car fell so silent, even the sounds of breathing could clearly be heard.

At this moment, a ringtone suddenly sounded.

Sheng Jiaoyang acted as if somebody had poked a hole through her as she hastily scrambled back and took out her cell to see that Luo Yi was calling her. She glanced at the expressionless Shen Zhining, unsure what he was thinking, and answered her phone.

She felt a burst of delight when she heard Luo Yi ask her where she was, and hurriedly asked them for their location. Sheng Jiaoyang then hung up and quickly said, "I'm leaving." Before bolting away.

Shen Zhining looked at the shut car door and a meaningful light flickered in his pitch black pupils. He folded his hands on top of each other and crossed his legs, gently tapping his fingers in thought.

He suddenly seemed to realise something and soundlessly smiled.

First attacking and then escaping?

She really was a cunning one.

Should the lion that had never lacked food but did lack a toy directly kill it, or first finish playing before killing it?

Of course, it'd be better to play first.

The prerequisite though, was that the fox could do enough to attract the lion's attention.

Sheng Jiaoyang assumed everything was fine now that she'd escaped. However, while walking through the wax museum door, she suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose, completely unaware that she'd trapped herself.

Three people silently ate breakfast in the dining room.

If Sheng Jiaoyang was there, she would recognise the three as Shen Zhining, Grandfather Shen, and Grandmother Andy.

They continued to eat in peaceful silence when suddenly, Fu Lailin looked at Shen Zhining and said, "A'Ning, if there's a girl you like, you definitely have to tell Grandma!"

The other two were startled and stared at Fu Lailin. The pair's simultaneous actions made Fu Lailin secretly chuckle.

"What happened?" Grandfather Shen asked, his voice heavy.

"Nothing happened." Fu Lailin winked at him and didn't say anything more.

"If nothing has happened, why would you suddenly say that?" Grandfather Shen's face was full of doubt, but his only reply was his wife's innocent expression.

Since he couldn't get anything from his wife, Grandfather Shen changed his target to his grandson. "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No," Shen Zhining replied.

Grandfather Shen nodded. "Don't always go running around everywhere. Don't forget that you have a lot of useful people behind you. Euburhardt won't stop talking to me about how every time her granddaughter comes to find you, she never even gets to see your face. She's wondering if you're purposely avoiding her."

Even if he was, he wouldn't admit it! Shen Zhining laid down his fork and knife. "I like a woman who can cook and has a soft, gentle temperament."

"I heard Euburhardt's granddaughter's cooking skills were very good, and she even opened up her own restaurant." Grandfather Shen still didn't let up.

"The most important thing is that she must have a soft and gentle temper."

"She looks pretty soft and gentle with you." Under his grandson's unenthusiastic stare, Grandfather Shen changed what he was going to say, and instead said, "Someday, I'll take you to see how gentle Andrew Guile's daughter is. She's even gentler than the rumors."
