Chapter 2057 - 2060: Gao Hui's Complicated Feelings

When they came out of the restaurant, the beautiful and mature woman Gao Hui, who had some red wine, had a rosy face and shy beautiful eyes. Shen Qiang himself was a cultivator, and not to mention red wine, even if it was strong liquor, he could easily dispel the effects with True Yuan, but the beautiful woman Gao Hui was worried about Shen Qiang driving under the influence and insisted on finding a substitute driver.Unable to resist her insistence, Shen Qiang had no choice but to compromise and called Ji Wei, asking him to come to the restaurant to pick up the car.

Then Shen Qiang took the beautiful woman Gao Hui and called for a taxi.

Once in the car, the two sat in the back seat, and in the confined space, Shen Qiang could clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from her and feel her intense heartbeat and the heat radiating from her delicate face.

Yet at this time, she deliberately kept her distance from Shen Qiang.

Her left hand clenched nervously at her waist, while her right hand supported her head on the car door.

Although her beautiful eyes were full of emotion, she didn't dare to look at Shen Qiang, instead casting her gaze outside the car window.

"You two must have just started dating, right?" The taxi driver glanced at the rear-view mirror a few times and said with a smile, "When I started dating my wife, it was like this too. After dining, I had to call a taxi to send her home. She didn't say a word and just nervously stared out of the window."

Hearing this, the beautiful woman Gao Hui froze.

She seemed to want to explain, but her lips moved, and yet not a single word came out of her mouth.

At this moment, Shen Qiang laughed, "Sir, you have a keen eye."

Hearing this, the taxi driver chuckled and said, "Of course. Running around the streets every day, my eye power is sharp. You two, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, of similar age, look perfectly suited for each other. Sitting together like this is destiny."

Blushing quite inexplicably, the beautiful woman Gao Hui cast a sidelong glance at the driver but said nothing.

Shen Qiang laughed, "Thanks for your blessing."

The taxi driver replied with a laugh, "You're welcome. But young folks, you know, in love, it's not just blessings that determine if a couple can end up together. First, you must have matched social backgrounds and compatible values."

Instantly, the joyful blush of the beautiful woman Gao Hui disappeared from her face.

Shen Qiang, understanding her thoughts, quickly said, "Sir, speaking of matched family backgrounds, that's just old-fashioned stuff leftover from feudal society. We don't emphasize that nowadays."

Hearing this, the driver said, "Who says matched family backgrounds are outdated? Let me tell you, young man, I used to think that way too, but later realized just how crucial it is in a relationship."

"Simply put, if someone is a rich young lady, living a life of luxury, buying face wash that costs thousands, or a bag that's tens of thousands, if the backgrounds don't match, you go all out to pick a gift you think is great, and when you give it to her, she thinks, 'Oh, isn't this junk? Are you insulting me with this gift?'

Hearing this, Shen Qiang's eyes narrowed.

Initially, hearing this guy talk was quite amusing, but as he spoke more, it became disconnected. The beautiful woman Gao Hui refused Shen Qiang again and again because she felt she was a widow with a child and being with Shen Qiang would only embarrass him.

The situation had just started to improve, yet here this driver was chatting about social class. This is clearly messing with Shen Qiang, isn't it?

Just as Shen Qiang wanted to snap back at the driver.

The taxi driver, still driving and chatting, said, "So you two are actually very suitable. The lady is as beautiful as a flower, serene and dignified, and the young man is well-educated and polite. Coming out of such a high-end restaurant, having had some drinks, yet still being polite to me, a taxi driver, proves he has considerable upbringing. So, miss, you don't have to worry about him being irresponsible, he's a good man."

Hearing this, the beautiful woman Gao Hui suddenly said with a shy expression, "Sir, don't be mistaken, the two of us are truly mismatched."

The taxi driver laughed, "Miss, in terms of material matters, whether backgrounds match up is secondary. The most important thing is whether your values align, and I can see this young man is wealthier than you, judging by his clothing. If he were snobbish, you wouldn't be in this taxi; at the very least, he'd be picking you up in a private car."

Hearing this, the beautiful woman Gao Hui coldly replied, "He might just want to experience life."

The taxi driver chuckled, "Miss, don't joke. I'm forty-three this year, having driven taxis for twenty years, what kind of people haven't I seen? From the moment this young man got in the car with you, I could tell he truly likes you, nothing else."

The beautiful woman Gao Hui spoke more coldly, displeased, "Don't speak as if you know him so well."

Having realized Gao Hui was unhappy, the taxi driver said, "Miss, believe me, times have changed. You came out of such a high-end restaurant, the meal wouldn't have been cheap, possibly thousands, more if extravagant. If he wasn't truly fond of you."

The car stopped at the red light at an intersection, and the driver rolled down the window, gesturing with his eyebrows towards the stylish, glamorous young women on the street to Gao Hui, "Why would he work so hard to please you, when he could simply send a few red packets? In this Provincial City, there are enough women willing to accompany him."

Hearing this, gazing at the vibrant young women, the beautiful woman Gao Hui suddenly fell silent.

Uncertain about what she was thinking.

"People should not disregard themselves, but neither should they be overly self-important," said the taxi driver.

Detecting the subtle hint of mocking Gao Hui for being overly proud in the driver's words, Shen Qiang quickly interrupted, "Sir, tell us about yourself instead. You mentioned you've been driving taxis for over twenty years, didn't you ever think of doing something else?"

The taxi driver then laughed proudly, "I have savings in the bank, own two properties, and the taxi belongs to me too, my life is free. I'm not boasting, but apart from my dad, no one in this world can command me."

Looking at him with surprise, Shen Qiang said, "Turn left at the next intersection, stop at the entrance to the residential area."

"Sure thing!" The taxi driver responded immediately and steadily parked the car at the entrance.

After paying, Shen Qiang and the beautiful woman Gao Hui got out.

"Um...why did you let him leave?" the beautiful woman Gao Hui asked softly, her demeanor somewhat nervous.

Seeing her complex expression, Shen Qiang understood that it's important to strike while the iron is hot, if he can't resolve Gao Hui's inner conflict, missing the chance again could mean missing it for a lifetime.

So Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I'm a bit thirsty. I'd like to go to your place for some tea."

Instantly, her delicate face turned red.
