Chapter 82: What Was He Thinking? She’s Still A Child!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Calmly, Nan Yan patted her grandmother’s hand, “Grandma, thank you for your kind offer, but I can’t…”
“Why not?” Old Madam Qin didn’t understand. “Nan Yan, what are you worried about?”
“Don’t worry, with you around, I have nothing to worry about!”
Old Madam Qin was the head of the Qin family, and everyone in the family obeyed her commands.
Except for Qin Lu, who could influence her thoughts and even force her at times, everyone else followed her orders without question.
If she wanted to bring a young girl home, no one would dare to object.
Nan Yan shook her head, “I want to rely on my own abilities and get into the Imperial Capital University through my own efforts. I don’t want to take shortcuts.”
“But you can still take the exam yourself!” Old Madam Qin urged anxiously. “If you can get in based on your own merits, then we don’t need any shortcuts!”
Nan Yan said seriously, “But I like the school and the teachers here.”
Old Madam Qin’s expression drooped, “Alright…”
Then Grandma will leave today. You have to remember to miss Grandma!”
“Yes, I will remember,” Nan Yan reassured her.
“After I go back, Grandma will call you frequently!”
“Yes, I’ll call you when I have time.”
“Promise me, no empty promises!”
“Yes, really!”
Nan Yan agreed to numerous conditions, finally managing to make Old Madam Qin happy again.
When Old Madam Qin checked the time and estimated the arrival of her flight, she sought Nan Yan’s 0Dinion. “Nan Yan, let’s go out to eat todav.”
“Okay, let me change my clothes first, and then we can go out to eat.” Nan Yan stood up. “When will Brother be back? Should we invite him too?”
“He should be back soon, let’s wait for him.”
If it wasn’t for creating an opportunity for her eldest grandson and granddaughter-in-law to be together, she wouldn’t have wanted to invite him!
Old Madam Qin had a good memory. She had a little notebook where she kept a record of Qin Lu’s wrongdoings.
But considering that he had found such a lovely and likable daughter-in-law for her, she decided to let it go for now. If he didn’t bring her granddaughter-in-law back, she would bring up both old and new accounts together!
Qin Lu arrived after about thirty minutes.
Nan Yan had already changed her clothes.
Wearing casual and refreshing attire with a baseball cap on her head, she exuded youthful vitality and was pleasing to the eye.
Qin Lu concealed his emotions and calmly asked, “What do you want to eat?”
“Anything is fine.” Nan Yan didn’t mind as long as she could eat her fill. She always had a “whatever you decide” attitude. “Brother, you decide.” “Okay.” Qin Lu responded in a low voice. He had made up his mind.
They had a harmonious meal together.
Towards the end of the meal, Qin Lu received a phone call.
“The plane has arrived.” He hung up the phone and calmly said.
Old Madam Qin turned around and grabbed Nan Yan’s hand.” Yanyan, I miss you so much!”
Nan Yan helplessly replied, “Grandma, you’re just going back home. We will still see each other. Please don’t be like this…”
It made her feel quite overwhelmed!
“Well, when you marry Ah Lu in the future, we can always be together!” Old Madam Qin’s face instantly brightened, and then she looked at Qin Lu with a stern expression. “Ah Lu, you better take good care of my future granddaughter-in-law. If you make even the slightest mistake, I’ll break your leg!”
This time, Qin Lu was speechless.
He didn’t even know that it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision to push the young girl forward to block Old Madam Qin’s relentless matchmaking efforts and constant nagging in his ear. He never expected Grandma to like her so much…
If he told her that the relationship between the two of them was not like that, would she be furious?
Qin Lu seriously considered this possibility, and his gaze fell on the girl’s beautiful and eye-catching face.
The little girl was a troublemaker.
However, she had a very bewitching face.
She looked obedient and likable, especially when her clear peach blossom eyes stared straight at you. No matter how big a mistake she made, she could forgive her.
Qin Lu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
An uncontrollable thought emerged.
Since she was so lovable and the only person in many years that he didn’t dislike, someone who willingly accepted his care, why not keep her by his side?
Then, he could not help but curse himself.
What was he thinking?
She was still a child!
She was only eighteen years old. He must be crazy!
Qin Lu couldn’t help but feel irritated. His sexy Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, but on the surface, he was cold and indifferent. It was impossible to tell what kind of psychological activity he had just experienced.
He loosened his tie and looked at Nan Yan. His voice was inexplicably low and hoarse.” Little girl, I have to send Grandma home and take care of some things in the capital. I’ll be back in about three to four days.”
“Can you manage by yourself?”
Nan Yan was puzzled. Was there a misunderstanding? Wasn’t she always alone?
Was he really involving himself in her family matters?
Thinking of this, Nan Yan nodded obediently. “Brother, I can manage.”
“If there’s anything, call me.”
Nan Van was taken aback
Would he really fly back immediately if she called him?
After a moment, she nodded, “Okay.”
She didn’t tell Qin Lu about her trip to the Capital on Saturday.
In her view, it was her private matter and had nothing to do with him.
After seeing Old Madam Qin and Qin Lu off on the plane, Nan Yan took a taxi back home.
As soon as she arrived home, An Xiran called.
“Nan Yan, have you had dinner?”
Nan Yan answered the phone and changed her shoes in the entrance hallway. She casually said, “Yes, Fourth Brother, what’s up?
“Well…” An Xiran rubbed his forehead. “Mom called me and said to invite you to have dinner with us tomorrow.”
Nan Yan’s contact information was known only to him in the An family.
Lu Lehua personally made the request several times but failed to coax her back so they shifted their focus to him.
After all, it was evident that Nan Yan had a better relationship with him than with anyone else in the family.
“You check your schedule, and if you’re free, I’ll take leave and go back for a visit. If you’re busy, I’ll tell her that I’m unavailable. I’m currently busy preparing for the competition.”
Knowing that Nan Yan didn’t like going back to the An family, An Xiran didn’t want to put her in a difficult position.
Nan Yan remained silent for a moment before saying, “You focus on your competition for now. When you have time, we can go back together and visit Grandpa.”
An Xiran nodded. Then he remembered they were on a phone call and he couldn’t see her expression. He continued, “Okay, I’ll let Mom know that I’m unavailable.”
“Thank you, Fourth Brother..” After exchanging pleasantries, Nan Yan naturally asked, “Fourth Brother, do you have confidence in the competition this time?”
