I’m the One Coveting Her
Nan Ge finally gritted her teeth and bought the tie before the store closed.
On the way to Shen Yanqing’s apartnt on the electric scooter, she sighed from ti to ti.
This ti, she really ended up with nothing despite working all month.
She had been busy for more than half a month, but she did not have a single cent left.
Thinking of her empty pocket, Nan Ge sniffled and felt miserable.
When they were waiting at a red light, the traffic police by the roadside noticed that she was in a bad mood and even went forward to comfort her.
“It’s okay. The economy is not good now. It’s not easy for everyone to work and it’s hard to make a living. Don’t be sad!”
“You’re still young! If you deliver food for another two years, maybe you can change this electric scooter to a sports car!”
Nan Ge, “…”
Before the traffic policeman comforted her, Nan Ge did not really want to cry.
Although she felt sorry for her money, she wouldn’t cry.
She was also soone who cared about her reputation.
However, after hearing the traffic policeman’s comforting words, her tears suddenly burst from the dam.
“Boohoo. Why do I still have to deliver food for two years before I can change cars?”
Damn it!
Her cry shocked the traffic policeman beside her.
“Eh…” The other party scratched his head helplessly. He did not seem to have said anything wrong just now.
Two years wasn’t a long ti, right? Were all young people so anxious these days?
——
Half an hour later, Nan Ge slowly arrived at Shen Yanqing’s building.
She wiped her face with her hand.
It’s fine. Be strong!
If she returned the wrong one and returned it, she would still have $5000.
She would still have so blood left on her HP.
In front of the elevator, she entered the password and fingerprint and went upstairs with ease.
Recently, Nan Ge had been coming here to deliver food. For her convenience, Shen Yanqing had recorded her fingerprints not long ago.
After pressing the doorbell, Nan Ge took a step back and pulled down the scarf on her face. She waited obediently.
A minute passed, but no one opened the door. The baby penguin stuck her head out toward the door. After hesitating for a few seconds, she stretched out her hand and pressed the doorbell again.
Seeing that no one ca out after a long ti, Nan Ge looked at the ti.
It was 9:30 a.m., so he probably hadn’t gone to bed yet.
When she ca, she had been feeling sorry for her money and had forgotten to inform Shen Yanqing in advance.
Opening WeChat, she quickly asked: [Hello? Are you not at ho now?]
There was no instant reply.
Nan Ge moved to the side, crouched against the wall, and continued typing: [I took the wrong tie for lunch, but my brother loved that tie too.]
[I was going to go back and buy you a similar one, but the shop sold out, so I bought a similar one.]
[Don’t worry, other than the slightly different style, this one is really better!]
A few ssages were sent out, but in the end, there was no reply as though they were thrown to the bottom of the ocean.
He left in a hurry in the afternoon. He was probably busy with work.
At the thought of this, Nan Ge got up and planned to co back tomorrow.
At the sa ti, there was a soft sound behind her. It was the sound of a door being pushed open.
“And you are?”
“…” Hearing the female voice behind her, Nan Ge paused and turned around in confusion.
In front of the door, the woman was leaning against the door in her pajamas, looking impatient after being woken up. The laziness and maturity she exuded were a stark contrast to the immaturity of the baby penguin opposite her.
Nan Ge’s breathing slowed, and her mind went blank.
The woman looked her up and down, puzzled. “Who are you looking for?”
“Uh, I’m looking for President Shen.”
“Oh, Shen Yanqing.” The woman yawned and said, “He’s not here. Who are you? If you need anything from him, you can tell first.”
“I-I…” Nan Ge looked down at the bag in her hand. For a mont, she did not know how to explain it to her.
The woman followed her gaze and laughed. “Do you like him so much that you chased him to his apartnt?”
“Alright. Give it to and I’ll pass it to him for you. By the way, what’s your na? I’ll try my best to make him rember you.”
Nan Ge replied, “Huh?”
The woman reached over and accidentally brushed the back of Nan Ge’s hand with her fingertip, leaving a red mark.
Nan Ge was in pain. She subconsciously retracted her hand and dodged.
“No. It’s fine. I’ll co back tomorrow.”
...
Upon hearing this, the woman rembered that the elevator here could not be used casually by others, so she asked curiously, “How did you get up?”
“The elevator.” Nan Ge pointed at the elevator behind them.
The woman choked. “Don’t we need fingerprints and passwords here?”
“I’ve delivered food to President Shen a few tis before…”
“A delivery staff?” The woman was stunned. She scrutinized Nan Ge from head to toe.
Judging from her clothes and aura, she did not look like the delivery staff.
Nan Ge did not like the way she was sizing her up. She bowed slightly and said, “I’m sorry to disturb you. Since President Shen isn’t here, I’ll leave first.”
“Goodbye.”
She almost fled.
Shen Yanqing did not return to the apartnt after parting ways with Nan Ge in the afternoon.
After the eting ended, he finally had the ti to look at his phone.
...
“President Shen, it’s getting late. Do you want to eat sothing first? There shouldn’t be anything left in the canteen at this ti. Why don’t I order food?”
Assistant Yuan followed behind him and asked as they walked.
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure in front suddenly stopped.
“President Shen?”
Shen Yanqing raised his hand and gestured for him to wait.
He pressed the voice call button but no one picked up the phone.
“Tell Gao to drive back to Star Bay.”
Ten minutes later, Shen Yanqing sat in the car and sent a ssage to Nan Ge with a serious expression.
[I was in a eting just now. I’m sorry I didn’t see the text ssage.]
[Are you still here?]
[I’ll go back now. I’ll be there in about twenty minutes.]
——
Back upstairs, Shen Yanqing looked at the empty corridor and exhaled heavily.
Just as he was about to enter the password, the door was opened from the inside.
Shen Yanqing was slightly stunned.
His first reaction was that he thought it was Nan Ge.
But on second thought, it was impossible for Nan Ge to go in.
“You’re back.”
“…” Looking at the figure at the door, Shen Yanqing frowned. “Why are you here?”
“I’ve just returned to the country and have nowhere to go, so I ca to seek refuge with you.”
The woman stepped aside to let him in.
Shen Yanqing subconsciously looked at the living room. It was empty.
Seeing his disappointed expression, the woman crossed her arms and asked curiously, “What’s with your expression?”
“Did soone co looking for just now? Who is it?”
“A young lady, about this tall.” She raised his hand and gestured in front of her. “She had pigtails.”
“Does she have big eyes?”
“Uh huh. Yes, she did co.”
“Where is she?”
“She left.”
“Why didn’t you keep her?”
“She said she was a delivery girl. Why would I keep her?”
Shen Yanqing, “…”
“Why are you looking at like that?”
“It’s not that I want to say this, but why do so many girls like you? Even the delivery girl dares to covet you.”
Shen Yanqing did not like her tone and interrupted her promptly. “You’re wrong. I was the one who coveted her.”
