Chapter 192 - 192: Enough is Enough

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the face of Nan Ge’s jumping thoughts, Shen Yanqing was already used to it.

He hugged her and walked back. His footsteps were not as hurried as before. “Don’t miss the steps.”

He guided her and turned around to answer. “Yes. Why did you notice me then?”

“Well…” Nan Ge choked at his question. “You’re just standing there. It’s hard not to notice.”

This was not a joke, but a sincere thought.

Hearing this, the man laughed.

Nan Ge blushed. In hindsight, she realized how useless those words made her sound.

She scratched her burning cheeks. She was not embarrassed, but she spoke in a defensive tone, “What’s wrong? I’m telling the truth. Who can ignore you standing there? I happened to glance in your direction and noticed you right away.”

Shen Yanqing smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

Nan Ge exclaimed. This was the first time she was angered by his smile. “You’re so smug. Enough, okay?”

Shen Yanqing almost wanted to exclaim he was innocent.

“I’m not being smug.”

He really did not mean that in his smile. He was not teasing Nan Ge for being attracted to him back then. What… what was it?

“I’m just glad.”

The corners of Nan Gels lips had just gone back down when they went upwards again. “What are you glad about?”

She probably understood, but she still pretended not to know. She wanted to hear it from him.

“I’m glad you looked out of the window at that time. I’m thankful that you only saw me amonz so manv DeoDle. I was hamv that vou stopped me. I’m relieved

that I took your umbrella.”

There was too much to say.

He paused and tried to continue, but Nan Ge was faster than him and stopped him. She probably felt that these words were a little mushy and unbearable, so she made a fuss again and did not want him to continue.

Shen Yanqing was not angry. He smiled and hugged her, leaning against her.

The journey back to the private room was a little far and even long.

It was mainly because this was Nan Ge’s first time here. She stopped every three steps and was attracted by the surrounding scenery and the faint Chinese theater music in the distance.

“Do you like it here? I’ll bring you over to watch Chinese theater next time, okay?”

Nan Ge quickly responded and looked up. “Do you come often?”

“Yes, compared to other places, I do come here more often.”

Nan Ge was not surprised at all, because this place indeed matched Shen Yanqing’s temperament. It was as if he should have belonged here.

The corridor here was very similar to the one at the Shen family’s old residence. She could not help but wonder if Shen Yanqing would run along this corridor when he was young and chase his friends. However, not long after this thought appeared, she rejected it.

He was so obedient. How was that possible?

He heard that their family had a strict upbringing. If Shen Yanqing dared to do this, his grandfather would probably beat him up with a walking stick.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Her eyes were a little complicated. It was rare that Shen Yanqing did not understand the look in her eyes.

She rubbed her chin with a mysterious look on her face. “I noticed something different between us.”

“Huh?”

Nan Ge was referring to the extravagance and pursuit of wealth she had come into contact with since she was young. Even if she was not liked by her grandparents, she was still the Nan family’s granddaughter and Nan Zhengning’s precious daughter. Her peers in the circle would revolve around her.

Along with her brother’s power, there was no doubt that she was a true little princess in the circle of wealthy families in Jiang City. Those who knew her did not dare to cross the line and gave her enough face.

Even so, she was still a little inferior to Shen Yanqing. He was clearly at a different level.

Compared to the rich second-generation heirs in the circle deeply involved in all kinds of desires, Shen Yanqing was clearly different, resembling a snow lotus on a mountain that no one could touch.

No matter how chaotic the environment was, he could be clean and untainted.

After hearing her explanation, Shen Yanqing chuckled. “I didn’t realize how highly you thought of me.”

His tone was relaxed and pleasant.

This time, Nan Ge did not feel ashamed.

“You’re not like anyone I’ve ever known.” He was simply incredibly different.

An invisible force pulled her closer to him.

She was a curious child to begin with.

“It’s just that we grew up in different environments.” Shen Yanqing patted the little penguin’s head. “We are not that different.”

This was the education he had received since he was young. The elders were more old-fashioned. There was nothing he could do about it. His family had always been like this. They were very strict with all their younger generation. Ever since his grandfather passed away, they had relaxed a little.

For example, his younger cousin. His grandfather had died not long after his cousin was born, so he had never been taken care of by his grandfather. “When I brought you back to the old residence previously, I showed you the family tree and brought you around the estate. I was always worried that you wouldn’t be able to accept that kind of family atmosphere.”

“No.” On the contrary, she loved it.

She thought about it seriously. It would not be bad if she gave birth to a little Shen Yanqing in the future.

She was already curious about what Shen Yanqing was like when he was young. Since there was no time machine to go back in time, she could use another method.

At the thought of this, she bit her finger and secretly glanced at Shen Yanqing’s facial features.

She had seen photos of Shen Yanqing when he was young at the old residence. There were not many, only four or five. It was said that they were all taken when his grandfather was still around.

There were no other photos.

Shen Yanqing did not know what she was thinking. “We’re here. You might not have seen a few of them before. They’re all department managers. Don’t worry, they’re all very easy-going.”

“Huh? Should I not go in then?” Nan Ge did not expect there to be someone else.

At first, she thought that only those familiar people from the president’s office were around, so she did not feel uncomfortable about coming straight over.

“It’s fine.” Shen Yanqing smiled and went forward. The waiter opened the door for him. He put down his hand on her waist and held her hand.

If he said it was fine, then it was fine.

Nan Ge had nothing to be afraid of on such an occasion.

She smiled and walked in openly.

She walked around the screen and stopped talking. She looked at the people at the two tables standing upright with their hands clasped in front of them. They were all facing her with friendly expressions on their faces. This scene was…

The corners of Nan Ge’s mouth twitched slightly.

Shen Yanqing was also in a daze for a second. Looking at the untouched dishes on the table, he did not know what to say about this. “Didn’t I tell you to eat first?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“How could we do that?” They smiled dryly, but their gazes landed on Nan Ge.

Noticing everyone’s gazes, Shen Yanqing introduced, “This is Nan Ge, my girlfriend.”

“Hello, everyone.” Nan Ge waved her hand.

Everyone greeted her. The atmosphere was even more serious than Nan Ge had imagined.

Shen Yanqing also noticed it as he pulled her to a seat. He told them to relax and took the initiative to break the awkwardness. Nan Ge was also very lively and could answer any topic. Soon, she chatted with the leaders. Even if it was some professional subjects, she answered them smoothly. She was calm the entire time and naturally chatted about everything.

Before long, she was comfortable talking to the leaders.

Towards the end, some people wanted to drink some wine. There were many seasoned drinkers present. They had ordered fine food, so it was a pity not to drink.

Before Shen Yanqing could say anything, Nan Ge agreed.

The atmosphere was simply too good, and she wanted to drink a little.

However, it was a little odd that only white wine was served.

At first, Nan Ge only had a slight sip as she frowned.. As time progressed, the small glass of white wine in her hand went down her stomach when Shen

Yanqing wasn’t looking…
