Chapter 114 - 114: I Would Be Confused Too

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Shen Yanqing just knew he could not explain it clearly over the phone.

Nan Ge did not believe him.

Logic told her that Shen Yanqing could not lie to her, but her rationality was also very contradictory. It also kept telling her that her brother was not the forgiving sort.

Just like that, rationality began to fight left and right. Its fists and feet also fought each other.

In the end, there was no winner.

Nan Ge could only give up.

“Then, come and pick me up later. We’ll talk when we meet.”

Hearing footsteps, Nan Zhe calmly flipped a page of the magazine. “Are you done?”

Nan Ge looked over when she heard the voice. She stood rooted to the ground and looked at her brother carefully from head to toe.

She suddenly realized that the man in front of her did not seem to be her brother…

She had known her brother for 20 years. Why did he look more and more unfamiliar?

He was clearly quite normal last night, but he was like a mad dog. He wanted to find Shen Yanqing to prove himself.

In the end, when he went out and came back, it was as if he was a different person.

Could he have been swapped by aliens?

Hesitating, Nan Ge did not dare to approach him. She stood behind the armchair and hesitated. “Brother, what… are you looking at?”

After a long while, she finally said this.

“A magazine? Are you blind or can’t you read?”

Hearing these words, Nan Ge felt they sounded intimate and instantly felt much better.

Sure enough, her brother was still that mad dog, the kind that would bite people just like that.

Nan Ge was relieved and went forward to take the magazine away from him.

“Stop reading. Let’s get down to business.”

“Hiss, give it to me.” Nan Zhe was reading it seriously.

“What’s there to see?” Nan Ge glanced at it casually. “It’s already last month’s magazine, and it’s a fashion magazine… When did you become interested in this?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a familiar name on the cover.

It was located at the bottom and not eye-catching, but because it looked a little familiar, she spotted it at a glance.

Qi Yan.

Nan Ge blinked in realization.

She flipped through the contents. As expected, it was really the Qi Yan she Imew.

This was an interview. Qi Yan was briefly introduced inside, and there were some questions and answers after that.

Nan Ge was about to take a closer look when a hand reached out and mercilessly snatched the magazine away.

“What are you looking at?” Nan Zhe casually put the magazine on his lap and blatantly changed the topic before she could speak. “Why are you looking for me? Hurry up and say it. After you are done, get lost.”

“Ah.” After being interrupted by him, Nan Ge answered obediently, “Didn’t you

go drinking last night? Did you go to see Shen Yanqing?”

“Did he complain to you again?” ” What did he mean by again?

“No, he’s not you.”

Nan Zhe almost cursed.

“Why didn’t you tell me when you went to see him?”

“I wanted to talk to him. Why should I tell you? Don’t we have freedom?” Nan Ge was speechless. “But you must be chatting with him because of me.”

“Bullsh*t. I have a project and I wanted his help on it. It’s none of your business. ”

Nan Ge exhaled. She really could not do anything to her brother.

He was stubborn!

Not long after, Shen Yanqing arrived.

“Then I’m leaving?” Nan Ge held her bag and asked with uncertainty.

Nan Zhe did not even look up. He waved at her, indicating for her to disappear immediately.

When she reached the door, Nan Ge did not wait for the person behind her to look at her. She placed her hand on the doorknob and turned around hesitantly. “Brother, do you have anything else to tell me?” Was he really going to let her off just like that??

Why did it feel so unreal?

She felt that there was something wrong.

. ‘ Nan Zhe gritted his teeth. The two of them seemed to have switched roles. This was the first time he was so annoyed by Nan Ge that he wanted to beat her up. “Disappear immediately, understand?”

“If you don’t want to go with him, come to the airport with me!”

“No, no!” Nan Ge shook her head like a rattle drum. “Then I’ll leave first.

Brother, remember to eat!”

This time, Nan Ge really left. Nan Zhe glanced at the closed door and silently took out his phone to send a message to Shen Yanqing.

[Take good care of her. Send her back to school tonight.]

After hesitating for a moment, he continued typing: [Don’t tell her about the banquet hall last night.]

Not long after he sent it, the other party was typing.

Shen: [Okay. The flight will land in Huai City at 8:40 pm. It won’t be too late. I’ll tell you as soon as we land.]

[I don’t really want to tell Nan Ge what happened last night. After all, it’s indeed not a good thing. But I promised Nan Ge that I can’t lie to her again, not even if it’s a white lie.]

[I need to be 100% honest with her.]

After reading it, Nan Zhe replied expressionlessly: […]

Damn, he was speechless.

[But don’t worry. I know what to say. I won’t let her worry too much.]

Nan Zhe shook his head and clicked his tongue.

After a few seconds, Shen Yanqing received his reply. [I finally understand why

Nan Ge likes you.]

When he saw this, Shen Yanqing had a feeling that Nan Zhe would not praise him.

What Nan Zhe said next confirmed his guess.

Nan Zhe: [Old Man, you really have a way with words. Tsk, tsk. So this is the art of language. If it were me, I would be confused too.]

Shen Yanqing looked at the message and was silent for three seconds. Then, he turned off his phone and put it back in his pocket.

This was also the first time he had directly ignored a text message and chose not to reply.

How should he put it? It was shameful to escape, but it was useful.

This was because if they continued chatting, there would definitely be countless similar “praises”.

Nan Ge quickly came downstairs. As soon as she came out of the elevator, she saw Shen Yanqing waiting in the hall. Her eyes lit up and she jogged over with her bag. “Shen Yanqing!”

The latter opened his arms and hugged her.

“Why are you so happy?” Shen Yanqing smiled and patted her little head.

“My brother actually let me out!”

“Let’s go, let’s go. Let’s talk outside!”

As if she was afraid that Nan Zhe would chase after her, she hugged Shen Yanqing’s arm and pulled him away quickly. Shen Yanjing smiled helplessly and was forced to follow.

It was not until the car drove out that Nan Ge asked about last night.

“The situation last night was a little complicated. In fact, your brother probably didn’t come to look for me at first.”

Nan Ge exclaimed, “Is it really a coincidence?”

“I think so.” Shen Yanqing did not ask Nan Zhe last night. “I was about to leave last night, but I suddenly had a conflict with Chairman Wan.”

He tightened his grip on Nan Gels hand slightly. He looked down at her fingers like a child who had done something wrong and was seriously reflecting.

“I was too impulsive and couldn’t help but fight with the other party. Later, your brother happened to pass by and helped me, so after I settled my matters, we sat down and chatted.”

“Y-y-y-you guys got into a gang fight?!” Nan Ge stuttered in shock. When he heard the term “group fight”, Shen Yanqing paused and did not react.

Thinking about it carefully, the situation last night was not truly a gang fight but it certainly resembled one…
