The small gestures of the two people in the back seat naturally went unnoticed by the elders in the front, but from where Chen's mother was sitting, she only needed to slightly turn her head to take in He Da's expression completely. Although she didn't know why her daughter suddenly became excited, she could see the indulgence in He Da's eyes towards Chen Ning, which was a kind of affection a man has for a woman.
After He Da held her hand, Chen Ning quieted down, sitting there properly, looking out the car window without speaking. Yet, she couldn't help but occasionally turn back to glance at He Da, then look down at her hand held by He Da, her lips involuntarily curving into a sweet and contented smile.
Chen's father parked the car under the hotel, and only then did He Da let go of Chen Ning's hand and got out of the car with her.
