Maybe she has already forgotten me

  "According to Mr. Ye's lesson plan, it is now free practice time." Gu Beichen suppressed his smile and replied with a serious face. Seeing that the little woman who had sneaked over to check on him was slow to respond, he spoke again: "Without permission, you shortened the driving practice time on your own, shouldn't you have some explanation?"

  "That... it's because it rained a little while ago, the coach said the road is slippery and not suitable for uphill and downhill practice, so we ended training early." Ye Shanshan almost bit her tongue again after blurting out such a long lie. A child who isn't used to lying can't take the damage.

  "Oh, I thought someone had tipped you off and you sneaked in to check on me." Gu Bei Chen really didn't give him any face at all, insisting on exposing his little thoughts.

  "Haha, how could that be? Your imagination is really too rich." Ye Shanshan chuckled dryly and took two steps back, "You should hurry back to class, I'm going to Jinmai Garden across the street to buy a cake for Xiaoxiao."

  Then, without waiting for the leader's instructions, Ye Shanshan quickly opened the sliding door and slipped away.

  Many parents laughed, either genuinely or sarcastically, but Gu Bei Chen had a smug expression on his face. "Isn't our family's Ye teacher lovely?"

  "Yes, indeed! The kids all like her. You're really blessed." An older mom smiled and flattered.

  But that fashionable ex-model has already hidden himself in a place where no one can see him, secretly sighing. What kind of world is this? With great difficulty, I finally met an extreme product, but it already had an owner. The owner was actually a tender and lovely little loli, she was still in her early twenties, no matter how "chest-hungry" she was, she couldn't compare to the other's youthful years.

  Heaven really gave Ye Shanshan face, after finishing class, it actually started raining outside. Although it wasn't a heavy rain, it was enough to wet the ground, and some people didn't even bother to expose her lie.

  Heaven is making a beautiful scene, and Gubei Chen also happily pretends to be confused. A kind-hearted lie occasionally said will not hurt the overall situation, as long as he knows in his heart that she is nervous about him.

  Gu Beichen completed the task entrusted by his wife, and it was time to fulfill the bet. After passing the security check at Jing'an Road, Gu Beichen stopped the car and turned off the engine, "It's your turn now. Within two kilometers, there are three turns. The parking space at home is very spacious, you should be fine."

  "Come on, mommy!" The little girl had no idea what fear was and didn't think about it; her beloved mommy had been practicing driving for less than six hours in total.

  Does she really want to drive? During driving practice, they all drove Jetta, now this is a high-performance SUV, what if something happens.

  "It's okay, I'm here. The car is different, but the operation steps and principles are all the same, I believe in you." Gu Bei Chen was very patient and encouraging beside him.

  Like this, Ye Shanshan was driven into the driver's cab.

  Fasten seatbelts, familiarize yourself with the in-car environment, start the engine, press the clutch...

  Hmm, looks like it's quite something, doesn't look like a beginner who has only practiced driving twice at all.

  Just as the journey was halfway through, the car that had been driving smoothly suddenly slammed on the brakes. If Gu Bei Chen hadn't reacted in time and turned the steering wheel over, the car would have likely crashed into the big tree by the side of the road.

  "What's going on?" came unexpectedly without any warning, but Gu Bei Chen didn't think it was a problem with Song Song's driving skills. From her stunned expression, it seemed like she had seen an old acquaintance she hadn't met in a long time.

  Ye Shanshan didn't answer him and quickly unfastened her seatbelt to get out of the car, but unfortunately, the person she had just seen had already gotten in the car and driven away.

  Gu Bei Chen also got off the car, holding an umbrella over her head. "I've memorized the license plate number, let's go home first and I'll get someone to investigate." He didn't ask her what she saw because her reaction had already given him the best answer - she must have seen someone very important to her.

  "Never mind, maybe I just saw someone who looked like her. She's been gone for so long, how could she possibly come back?" Ye Shanshan quickly adjusted her mood and opened the car door to get into the driver's seat, ready to finish driving the rest of the way.

  "I'll drive, you and Xiao Xiao sit in the back." Gu Bei Chen already had some guesses in his mind. If his guesses were true, she was obviously not suitable to continue driving now.

  Sensitive Xiao Xiao also sensed Mom's abnormal emotions, and no one spoke on the short one-kilometer road.

  Mr. and Mrs. Guo didn't return home until the afternoon, and as soon as they got back, they busied themselves preparing a delicious meal. Guessing that their son's family should be returning around this time, Mrs. Guo anxiously grabbed an umbrella and personally went to the door to greet them, "It's windy outside, come in quickly."

  Gu Bei Chen was helpless in the face of his mother's excessive enthusiasm, "Do you know it's windy and you still came out to welcome?"

  "I'm not happy about this, am I?" Old Lady Gu couldn't hide her excitement. Her son had been in the army for so many years and had never tried to come back after just one month. It seemed that she had married a good daughter-in-law.

  "Mom, did you and dad have a good time playing in R city this time?" Ye Shanshan's emotions seemed to be unaffected, and she was still chatting with her mother-in-law with a gentle and obedient daughter-in-law demeanor.

  "It's almost the same every year, nothing new." Old Lady Gu casually responded with a few words and asked about Shanshan's driving lessons with concern, "How is it going? Is learning to drive still going smoothly?"

  "It's okay, just need to practice diligently." Recalling the close call of almost crashing into a tree earlier, Ye Shanshan still had some lingering fear in his heart. If he hadn't reacted quickly, who knows what kind of accident would have happened.

  "It's more convenient to live outside and drive yourself. When you get your driver's license, I'll ask Xiaoxiao's grandfather to buy you a beautiful car for girls." Old Lady Gu is now 100% satisfied with her daughter-in-law, treating her even better than her own biological daughter.

  "Don't worry about it, we've already chosen the car. Once I find some free time to go pay the deposit, you can pick it up anytime." Gu Bei Chen stood out and answered on behalf of Shan Shan.

  "Don't argue with me about this, my daughter-in-law has just entered our family and your father and I haven't even given her a decent gift. Consider this car as a welcoming gift. Tomorrow everyone is free, why don't we all go to the car dealership together?" Old Lady Gu was more anxious than her own son.

  The old lady was stubborn and no one could persuade her otherwise. Gu Bei Chen couldn't refuse anymore, so he asked for Shanshan's opinion, "What do you think?"

  "Let mom decide." Alas, since grandpa and grandma are so enthusiastic, it would be impolite to decline again, so I'd better just go along with them.

  A family sits together in harmony and enjoys dinner, with laughter and conversation filling the air.

  However, the meticulous Gu Bei Chen still saw the hidden worries in Shan Shan's eyes. After dinner, under the pretext of going online to find a car with Shan Shan, the two of them locked themselves alone in the study room.

  "That car... really doesn't need to be investigated?" Although he had already guessed roughly, since it was a big deal, Gu Bei Chen didn't ask too directly.

  "What's the use of finding out? Maybe... she has long forgotten me." If not, she wouldn't have left for ten years without a word, and never came back to visit.
