Nan Yan licked her lips and smirked mischievously, “Big brother, maybe not…”
“Hmm?”
“When you see my results, you’ll understand why,” she replied.
Upon hearing this, Qin Lu raised an eyebrow.
It seemed the little one was quite confident that she did well in her exams.
“Alright then, big brother will wait to see your report card.”
In truth, Qin Lu did consider transferring Nan Yan to the capital city.
Firstly, Old Madam Qin liked having her around, and if Nan Yan didn’t come, it wouldn’t be long before the old lady went to Jin City to find her.
Secondly, his work in Jin City wouldn’t last much longer; he would eventually return to the capital city, and he didn’t feel comfortable leaving this child, who had no one to care for her, behind.
However, it appeared that Nan Yan didn’t want to transfer schools, so he had to temporarily suppress that thought.
“Yan Yan, be a good girl and don’t follow Young Master Shen to places where kids shouldn’t be.”
His deep, magnetic voice, neither hurried nor slow, came through the phone and entered Nan Yan’s ears.
Listening to his voice, Nan Yan’s face inexplicably turned warm, as if he was whispering softly in her ear, his incredibly pleasant bass making her heart beat faster involuntarily.
She calmly moved the phone a bit farther away and softly responded, “Okay.”
On Qin Lu’s side, things were busy. He had just rested for a while when Wu Yue hurriedly came in, “Young Master, about Marcus…”
Wu Yue stopped mid-sentence, realizing that Qin Lu was on the phone, and quickly covered his mouth.
Oh no…
He was too impulsive and didn’t notice that the young master was making a call!
Nan Yan heard Wu Yue’s voice and asked obediently, “Big brother, do you have something to attend to?”
“You go ahead, I’m fine here.” “Alright, I’ll call you later tonight.”
“Okav
After hanging up the phone, Qin Lu’s gaze turned cold and imposing, carrying a sense of awe and displeasure.
Wu Yue’s legs trembled, under immense pressure, he felt as if he was facing a judge. He kept his head down, standing rigidly in place.
“Next time, if you come in without knocking, go directly to the finance department to settle your salary.”
Wu Yue let out a sigh of relief and quickly apologized, “Young… Young Master, I’m sorry…”
He was just too excited. Mr. Marcus finally agreed and was willing to sign the contract. It was only because of this great news that he couldn’t wait to tell the young master.
Qin Lu placed his phone on the table, his tone indifferent, “What is it? Speak.” wu Yue stammered, “Y-Y-Yo-Y-Y-Yo-Young Master… M-M-Mr. Marcus invited you to have dinner tonight and to sign the contract. Uh, where should we book the restaurant?”
“Find out Marcus’ preferences, book a place accordingly, and then let me know the location and time.”
“Yes.
Longqiu Villa.
Tao Qingming’s residence was in the capital city.
Tonight, Nan Yan was staying here.
Beforehand, she had agreed with An Xiran to spend some time each day playing with the members of the esports team.
On weekends, she had more free time. After returning from the hospital, Nan Yan started playing the game. An Xiran pulled her into their team’s group chat, and after getting acquainted with a few team members, they went straight into the game without much conversation.
Time flew by while they were playing the game.
In a blink of an eye, it was already around five in the afternoon.
Tao Qingming finished a call with Old Madam Cheng and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Nan Yan’s clear voice came faintly.
Tao Qingming pushed the door open with a smile, “Nan Yan, it’s dinner time now. Let’s go eat?”
“Outside?”
Seeing Tao Qingming’s attitude, Nan Yan knew they were going out to eat.
Moreover, there would be more people joining them for the meal.
“Yes, the Cheng family wants to invite you to dinner. Also, Old Master Cheng woke up at three o’clock this afternoon and his condition is much better.”
“Okay.” Nan Yan continued controlling her character in the game while coordinating with An Xiran’s team. She calmly replied, “If Old Master Cheng’s health is well managed, the next few years will be easier for him.”
“Sorry, I cannot cure him completely.”
“Nan Yan, you don’t need to say that. In fact, being able to alleviate Old Master Cheng’s pain and prolong his life is already a great result.”
Tao Qingming also knew that not everything could be forced. After so many years of medical treatment, he was well aware of Old Master Cheng’s condition. With his medical skills, he had pushed Old Master Cheng’s limits to the present. If it weren’t for Nan Yan’s timely intervention, Old Master Cheng might not have made it through this ordeal.
He was already very grateful for the current result.
Tao Qingming stabilized his emotions and smiled, “Nan Yan, the Cheng family wants to invite you to dinner. If you don’t go, they might feel they haven’t treated their guest properly. You saved Old Master Cheng, so you should attend this meal.”
“It’s just a meal, I promise there won’t be any other issues.”
Nan Yan could only reluctantly agree, “Alright, wait for me a moment.”
“No rush, take your time. Since there’s still plenty of time, you continue with your things, and I’ll wait outside.”
The game’s audio was playing in the background, and people were talking inside, but as soon as Tao Qingming entered, Nan Yan muted her microphone.
At this moment, An Xiran was calling her.
“Yes.
After Tao Qingming left, Nan Yan turned on the microphone again, “Fourth Brother, I have something to attend to, so I have to log off early. If I come back early tonight, I’ll join the game again.”
“Oh.” An Xiran agreed, “Sure, you go handle your business first. We’ll continue tonight, and if there’s something on, tomorrow is fine too.”
“Okay.”
After saying that, Nan Yan quit the game directly.
Looking down at her clothes, she thought for a moment and decided to change into a long dress from her backpack.
After changing, Nan Yan held her phone and walked out of the room.
“Elder Tao, let’s go.”
Nan Yan and Tao Qingming left Longqiu Villa. The Cheng family’s car was already waiting outside.
The one who came to pick them up was Cheng Jinchuan’s eldest grandson, Cheng Yanzhao.
During the time at the hospital, he had also been outside the emergency room and had seen Nan Yan. However, they had not spoken.
“Elder Tao, Miss Nan.”
Cheng Yanzhao waited in front of the car, greeted them warmly with his refined and elegant manner, like a noble young gentleman stepping out of a book.
“Yan Zhao, why did you come personally?” Tao Qingming laughed.
Cheng Yanzhao smiled slightly.” I should have come personally to invite Elder
Tao and Miss Nan to dinner. Otherwise, I would be neglecting my duties.”
Nan Yan stood by Tao Qingming’s side and didn’t say anything. She just nodded at him when Cheng Yanzhao looked her way.
“Let’s get in the car first.”
The three of them got into the car, and Cheng Yanzhao himself drove.
While fastening his seat belt, he turned to Nan Yan and said, “I wasn’t sure what Miss Nan likes to eat, so I took the liberty to make the decision and booked Fountain View Restaurant. They offer a wide range of cuisines.”
Nan Yan nonchalantly pursed her lips, “Anything is fine; I’m not a picky eater.”
Fountain View Restaurant.
Qin Lu’s car was parked in front of the restaurant, and just as he was about to get out of the car, he caught sight of a little fellow who should be in Jin City at this moment…
