42 Say Goodnight Personally
Shen Yanqing did not expect to be accused of being a potentially easy man.
However, on careful thought, this matter was indeed very easy to misunderstand.
Just not long ago, he had also misunderstood that Nan Ge had a boyfriend.
Although the man was considered one of her suitors, it did not beco official between them.
It was actually understandable for him to be misunderstood by Nan Ge now.
On the way here, he had gone through the surveillance caras in the corridor. Although he could not hear what the two of them were talking about, he would have misunderstood if he were in her shoes.
Even though Nan Ge looked like a baby penguin, she would usually take a long ti to react and moan in pain after poking her.
However, the baby penguin was just a little slow sotis. This did not an that she would not have doubts or feel sad.
She was only a 20-year-old girl. Like other girls, she was especially sensitive when it ca to relationships.
Therefore, from Nan Ge’s perspective, he could completely understand and even empathize with this feeling.
“This ti, I admit that I was to bla for your misunderstanding.”
Hearing this, Nan Ge exclaid. She did not an that!
When she saw the woman, she thought that he was already seeing soone but he still said those “overboard” things to her.
That was why she felt that he was not a decent man. However, that was not the case now!
Her lips moved, wanting to explain.
Shen Yanqing patted her head gently and said in a gentle, serious, and teasing tone, “This will only happen once. I won’t give the baby penguin a second chance in the future.”
Nan Ge was speechless.
——
After explaining this matter clearly, Shen Yanqing knew that she was in a hurry to go back. Hence, his gaze landed on the bag in her arms and he asked softly, “Did your brother take that tie?”
“Correct.”
Nan Ge quickly handed the bag over.
“He seed to like that tie very much. I didn’t know how to explain it, so I didn’t say anything. This is another one I bought. See if you like it.”
“If you don’t like it, I’ll go online and see if there’s any stock elsewhere…”
Shen Yanqing opened the bag and looked at the tie inside perfunctorily.
In his impression, the one he saw at noon seed to be very similar to this one.
If one did not look carefully, there was actually no difference.
“It’s okay. This one’s good too.” He accepted it and took the bag out of the backseat.
Nan Ge was about to reach out to take it when he suddenly stopped.
She thought that he had a problem with the price and quickly explained, “This tie is definitely better than the one earlier! I definitely didn’t buy sothing cheaper for you! If you want to see the receipt, I’ll go back to the dormitory and take a picture for you.”
“That’s not it.”
Shen Yanqing snapped out of his thoughts. The price was never a problem.
However…
Looking at the bag in his hand, he raised his eyebrows. “What do you plan to do with the extra one?”
“Sell it online as a second-hand product.”
“I just asked the counter. They don’t allow returns. My brother already has one. If I give him another one, he’ll definitely ask. It won’t be easy to explain when the ti cos.”
“Also…” The baby penguin scratched her head gently and felt a little aggrieved. “I just got my salary, but it’s all gone now. I even spent a few hundred…”
Her voice was very soft as if she was too embarrassed to say it out loud. It was like the sound of a mosquito. Shen Yanqing did not hear her clearly, but he could tell from what she said.
The tie they saw earlier was indeed not cheap. According to her personality, the one she bought for him now was probably more expensive.
“Why don’t I take this one?”
“Huh?” Nan Ge did not understand and looked surprised.
“I’m talking about this one.” Shen Yanqing waved the bag in his hand and looked at her gently. “Since you’re selling it to soone else anyway, why don’t you sell it to ?”
“Isn’t this tie unsuitable for you?”
She had bought it according to her brother’s preferences.
This tie did not suit Shen Yanqing at all.
“I don’t think I’m that…”
At this point, Shen Yanqing suddenly stopped. He seed to be conflicted.
He thought about it seriously. In the end, under Nan Ge’s puzzled gaze, he said with difficulty, “Old?”
President Shen was a little helpless. “Of course, compared to you, I’m indeed not young. However, I shouldn’t be much older than your brother, right?”
“Well, indeed.”
They were only two or three years apart.
“I’ll take this one as well. I’ll transfer the money via WeChat.”
After receiving the transfer, Nan Ge looked at the number in surprise. “Actually, it’ll cost less if I sell it online secondhand.”
Although he had never worn it before, no one would buy it if it was sold at the original price.
“It’s fine. Actually, I quite like this tie.”
...
After saying that, his eyelashes fluttered and he exhaled in sha.
He lied.
“Wow. Are you into this look as well?” Nan Ge’s eyes lit up. The way she looked at him was different from before.
Shen Yanqing was amused by her reaction. “Are you that surprised?”
The baby penguin nodded hard and said, “I can’t imagine it at all.”
“Maybe one day, I can wear it for you alone to see.”
“Okay!” Nan Ge could not imagine him wearing the tie, so she was looking forward to it.
“What’s the price of the one you bought just now?”
“What’s wrong?”
Shen Yanqing did not expect Baby Penguin to be so vigilant. “Why don’t I pay you back for the additional amount you paid?”
“It’s fine. You don’t have to do it.” Nan Ge quickly waved her hand. “I took the wrong one in the first place, and then my brother ‘snatched’ yours. I’m glad you like the new one. Anyway, it’s not much more expensive.”
...
It was her fault to begin with. She was already very sorry that she could not buy the exact sa tie. Of course, she had to be responsible for the additional cost.
She understood this principle.
“If you don’t tell , I might have to ask Assistant Yuan to work overti to investigate later.”
“I won’t accept it even if you investigate.”
The fund transfer would get automatically refunded after 24 hours if she did not accept it.
“Then I’ll give you a tip using the takeout app. How about that?”
“…”
A few minutes later, Nan Ge looked at the $3,000 appearing in her account feeling touched. “Thank you!”
“Alright, it’s getting late. Go back to the dormitory first. See you at noon tomorrow.”
“Yes, yes! You should go back too!”
“Go ahead.” Shen Yanqing raised his chin. “I’ll wait a little longer.”
“Wait for what?” Nan Ge looked around blankly. “Is there anyone else you want to see?”
“No, I specially ca to look for you.”
“To change the tie? Actually, we could have done it tomorrow… I was in no hurry!”
“I was. Exchanging the tie was secondary.”
“Then what’s the main objective?” Baby Penguin looked up at him and asked subconsciously.
The warm orange street lamp by the side shone down on the man. He could not help but think of the night they first t. The flashing headlights swept past the man’s tall figure.
In a daze, she heard Shen Yanqing’s voice opposite her, pulling her consciousness closer. “I mainly didn’t want you to make a wasted trip.”
“Also, I wanted to say good night to you myself.”
