Chapter 515: Chapter 506: In a Relationship

After the video call ended, Shen Yunqing finally spoke.

"Are you going straight back to the company?"

"Yeah, my current boss is quite optimistic about me."

After saying this, both of them laughed.

"Are you planning to continue with this job?"

"Yes, after more than half a year, I feel this job is quite interesting. Besides, since I’ve taken it, I definitely want to do it to the best of my ability."

Shen Yunqing nodded, "That’s the spirit of Your Majesty. Since you’ll be busy when you return, you should get some good rest in the car."

Jiang Lingxi stood up as instructed, but instead of heading to the bed at the back, she pulled out a chair opposite Shen Yunqing and sat down.

"How much longer until you’re done?"

"Approximately... two to three hours? If He Zhu doesn’t send any more work over."

Jiang Lingxi tilted her head to look at the computer in front of him.

She saw several windows open on the screen, each filled with dense content, words, numbers, and some foreign languages included. She promptly withdrew her gaze, "You go on with your work."

She initially thought since Shen Yunqing helped her with filming, she’d reciprocate by helping out, perhaps shortening his work hours in the car.

Now she was sure, she couldn’t assist with this work.

Shen Yunqing smiled seeing her sitting without moving, "Why not rest?"

"I previously had An’an tutor me on high school subjects. This past month has been busy, and I’ve fallen behind on schoolwork."

Anyway, it’s convenient now, with a phone and a computer; you can study anytime, anywhere.

Shen Yunqing paused in his typing, "Does Your Majesty plan to retake the university entrance exams?"

"It was a plan from the start; I already discussed it with my manager and assistant. Besides, being busy is no excuse; I must follow through with what I say."

"Then, good luck!"

Jiang Lingxi took a deep breath, opened the folder Xu Ling’an organized for her with key points and exercises on her phone.

When the RV stopped at the service area, Changning opened the small door connecting the driving seat to the rear compartment and saw the two of them engrossed in work and study at the small tea table, opened his mouth, and felt reluctant to disturb them.

"Sister Xi, sir, we’ve arrived at the service area; let’s have some food before resuming work."

The focused pair raised their heads, finally noticing that the sky outside the car window was already dark. The lights, triggered by the dimming of the carriage, had been on for who knows how long.

Jiang Lingxi turned off her phone screen and placed it in her pocket, "Let’s go for a walk."

At this time, the service area wasn’t crowded. The facilities were generally average, and there weren’t many food options.

They bought boxed meals to fill their stomachs. Jiang Lingxi, thinking that there weren’t many people and even fewer who might recognize her, perhaps none at all, pulled Shen Yunqing to linger outside for a bit.

Though the RV compartment was quite spacious, staying too long could be tedious.

The two wandered to the roadside greenery. Shen Yunqing glanced at the hand tightly holding his; his intentionally lowered voice sounded even more muffled coming from under the scarf wrapped around his neck, "Your Majesty, as people say today, are we now confirmed to be in a relationship?"

Jiang Lingxi was eating candied hawthorn bought from a stall selling snacks in the service area. She almost choked on it when she heard the question, coughing lightly, "Why wouldn’t it count?"

They had kissed and hugged; if that didn’t count, she’d just be fooling around.

"Hmm," Shen Yunqing’s eyes held a hint of laughter, "It’s just that I haven’t heard you say it directly, always felt a little unsure."

Jiang Lingxi swallowed the hawthorn, glanced around. There were no other people on this road except for passing cars and them, so she boldly lifted her foot, turned around, and tugged off the scarf covering this person’s face, gently hooking it with her hand.

In someone’s shocked state, the sweet and tangy scent of hawthorn and sugar filled the air, but soon only sweetness remained.

A black SUV slowly drove into the service area parking lot.

The young man in the driver’s seat unfastened his seatbelt and turned to his girlfriend, who was still filming a video, "Stop filming; let’s eat. It’s getting dark; what’s there to film?"

"Okay, okay, let me pause it first."

The two entered the service area restaurant; the young man bought food while the girl sent the video she had just taken to a friend who couldn’t join their trip.

Before they even had a chance to eat what they bought, she received a photo from her friend and a call immediately followed after playing the video.

"I haven’t had time to look at the photo you sent me!"

"Hey girl, where are you now?"

"Just at a service area, on our way back from the trip, didn’t I tell you we’re heading back to the Imperial City?"

"Oh, I remember now, but didn’t you notice that your video caught someone?"

"I sent it to you first and haven’t had a chance to replay it yet; should just be someone resting in the service area, I didn’t pay attention."

"I just watched it; at first, I thought it was just a couple, but soon I made a major discovery."

"What major discovery?"

"The girl in that couple seems like a celebrity I just started liking, though your video is too fast and a bit blurry, I’m not 100% sure."

"Just started liking, let me think, Jiang Lingxi, right?"

"That’s right, was your video taken just now? Go over and check it out, I can’t hold back anymore, I need to know the truth now!"

"...I’m eating."

"Go check, please. Here’s the deal, I’ll buy two of the new R brand lipstick tomorrow, one for you, one for me."

Under the temptation of lipstick, the girl nodded, agreeing to go take a look.

But when she reached the spot where she accidentally recorded someone earlier, there was no one there.

Just about to head back in disappointment, she heard someone not far ahead shout, "Sister Xi, sir, ready to go?"

"Okay."

She quickly maneuvered around the greenery and saw two figures walking side by side under a street lamp at the corner of the road.

She quickly grabbed her phone and pressed the capture button.

The phone’s flash, which hadn’t been turned off, suddenly flashed with the shutter sound. Jiang Lingxi, who was holding Shen Yunqing with an expression of having just been kissed, turned sharply to look over, seeing only a figure hurry into the greenery.

Shen Yunqing snapped back, pursed his lips, and looked over, "What happened?"

"It seemed like someone was taking secret photos, but it probably didn’t capture our faces."

"Should I have Huzi handle it?"

"No need; in this line of work, being photographed is normal. I’m not planning to hide anything, unless you think you’re not presentable?"

Shen Yunqing shook his head immediately.

He considered himself quite presentable.

"That’s settled then, let’s go back to the car; your hands just warmed up but they’re cold again already."

Shen Yunqing: "..."

His heart was just pounding with excitement from the kiss!

Behind the greenery, the girl patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the image on her phone screen.

Even though it was just a silhouette, hastily taken, in her professional eye as a senior graphic designer for a magazine, it was cover-worthy.

Could they really be a celebrity?
