Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
On the way back to the old mansion, Nan Yan had a feeling that Qin Lu’s mood was a bit off.
Throughout the journey, neither of them said a word, and the silence in the car was becoming increasingly uncomfortable.
Nan Yan had spent a lot of money today, and her mood wasn’t particularly pleasant. She leaned wearily against the seat, thinking of finding other ways to earn money.
Qin Lu turned his head to look at her more than once.
Seeing the indifferent expression on the girl’s face made his heartache even more intense.
The precious person he had kept by his side could be stolen away by soone else, and this feeling was more than just annoying.
He had rarely been so captivated by a girl before, and he had overco his own ntal struggles to want to give her the best of everything…
But the result…
This result had to be said to be a huge blow to Qin Lu.
When Nan Yan caught him stealing glances at her for the nth ti, she couldn’t help but ask, “Big Brother, what are you looking at?”
Qin Lu collected his thoughts and said, “I’m looking at a heartless little kid.”
Nan Yan’s fingertips, gripping the watch box, couldn’t help but exert force. Was she really heartless? Would a heartless person spend nearly eight or nine million on a watch for him at a ti when it wasn’t his birthday and there was no special occasion?
Nan Yan turned her head away, not wanting to look at him. She shouldn’t have spent so much money in the first place.
Qin Lu thought she was angry.
He wanted to comfort her but didn’t know how.
The atmosphere fell silent once again.
This ti, it remained silent until they returned to the old mansion.
After the car ca to a stop, Nan Yan imdiately unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the door.
Qin Lu remained in the car, unsure whether he should clarify things or pretend not to know anything.
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and tossed the watch box at Qin Lu before getting out of the car.
“What’s this?” Qin Lu held the watch box and saw the Patek Philippe logo on top, and a thought flashed through his mind.
Nan Yan leaned against the car door. “It’s a gift that the heartless little kid bought for you.”
Qin Lu:
So, Nan Yan bought him a watch while buying a birthday gift for Shen Junqing?
Qin Lu didn’t have ti to think further. When he saw Nan Yan closing the car door to leave, he quickly unfastened his seatbelt and got out of the car.
Nan Yan had just taken a few steps when Qin Lu grabbed her wrist. Then, he hooked his arm around her waist, and in a dizzying spin, he pressed her against the car.
This sudden change left her bewildered.
She squinted at him, looking at his bewitching face, and couldn’t help but ask, “Big Brother, did sothing happen to you?”
Qin Lu’s gaze was deep.
He wasn’t troubled by anything.
He just needed to clarify things; otherwise, he would probably find a way to make Shen Junqing disappear from this world tonight if he was left in the dark.
He maintained a proper distance and didn’t press his body against hers. Instead, he used a delicate maneuver to hold her shoulders and prevent her from escaping.
“Yanyan, do you like Shen Junqing?”
“He’s alright,” Nan Yan nodded.
In a way, they were people she approved of. If she didn’t like soone, they wouldn’t earn her approval.
Upon hearing Nan Yan’s prompt response, Qin Lu’s expression grew even darker.
He forcefully suppressed the destructive urge within him, restraining his resentnt, and asked again, “How much do you like him?”
“How much do I like him…” She hadn’t really thought about it much. “Well… it’s probably similar to how much I like my Fourth Brother.”
“Even though we’re not related by blood, in my eyes, he’s like my Third Brother.”
What was the saying? “Heaven and hell are just a thought apart”?
Qin Lu was experiencing it deeply at this mont.
“Are you saying that, in your eyes, Shen Junqing is just a brother? It’s a kind of affection between family mbers?” He wasn’t entirely sure, so he wanted to hear her confirm it.
“Then what else?” Nan Yan looked puzzled for a mont before realizing, “Big Brother, what are you thinking? I’m still in high school; I’m not thinking about relationships.”
So, he had been acting strangely because he thought she liked Shen Junqing? And then, he got angry?
Qin Lu had suddenly fallen from the pedestal in her eyes like a god.
She looked at Qin Lu with a sowhat playful expression. “Didn’t you tell to focus on studying and only think about relationships when I get to college?”
Qin Lu looked at her with a firm gaze, then suddenly lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “Big Brother is just worried that the little kid that I have doted on for so long will be snatched away by another man.”
With such an intimate distance, Nan Yan felt a bit uncomfortable. She wrinkled her brow, about to tell him to step back, but she heard his irresistibly seductive voice in her ear:
“Yanyan, Big Brother is waiting for you to grow up…”
His murmured words of deep affection and tenderness caused Nan Yan’s heart to race uncontrollably. She clutched his chest tightly with her hand, and her cheeks began to flush.
Qin Lu, he actually had feelings for her…
With her voice trembling, her heart racing, Nan Yan bit her lip and whispered, “Please let go of first…”
Qin Lu released her.
Then, Nan Yan turned and ran away.
She ran…
Qin Lu:
Was he really that terrifying?
Or had he been startled?
If it weren’t for being provoked by Shen Junqing today, he would never have confessed his feelings to her.
Qin Lu, feeling irritated, pinched his brow.
After watching Nan Yan run back into the house and remaining silent for a mont, he went back to his car and sent a ssage to Shen Junqing.
[Co to the Dark Temptation Bar, let’s have a few drinks.]
Shen Junqing: [Okay.]
Nan Yan ran back to her room.
Then she slapped her own face.
Damn it.
She couldn’t control her own heart.
Because of Qin Lu’s words just now, she couldn’t help but feel her heart race.
Qin Lu had always held a strong attraction for her, and his usual charm had already left her on the brink of surrender. Now, he had ignited a fire in her heart with those two sentences!
All her reason, restraint, and composure almost crumbled in that mont.
If it weren’t for that last shred of reason that made her run away, she might have impulsively succumbed to Qin Lu…
Nan Yan couldn’t calm down, so she went to the bathroom, turned on the cold water, and tried to cool herself down.
She hoped she wouldn’t lose sleep tonight…
At the Dark Temptation Bar.
Shen Junqing arrived as planned.
He found where Qin Lu was sitting and took a seat next to him.
“You couldn’t wait for and started drinking on your own?” Shen Junqing deliberately rolled up his sleeves, revealing the new watch on his wrist.
Then, he intentionally took the glass of wine in front of Qin Lu, making sure he saw it.
Qin Lu glanced at him indifferently and sneered.
Then, he casually rolled up his own sleeves, exposing his wrist.
The exclusive custom-made top-tier watch that originally adorned his wrist had been replaced with a Patek Philippe, which, for soone of his status, was clearly beneath him.
Shen Junqing:
Knowing that Nan Yan had bought an extra watch and still displaying it in front of him, he brought this embarrassnt upon himself.
He couldn’t bla anyone else.
He silently put down his sleeve again and picked up a glass of wine, downing it in one go.
“Qin Lu, is sothing bothering you today?”
Qin Lu also put down his sleeve indifferently and said, “Not really, I just wanted to have a drink with you.”
“Don’t you have experience in love? I wanted to get so advice on how to
pamper a girlfriend.” Shen Junqing:
A stab to the heart!
