For a mont, the atmosphere lapsed into silence.
Not knowing how much ti had passed, Nan Yu spoke, "Maybe I’m overthinking it."
She didn’t continue the topic, "Yingqing, you’re going back to City C tomorrow to do the makeup shoot for the magazine, what ti is your flight?"
Song Yingqing replied, "My flight is at 8 AM tomorrow, I might not be back until the day after tomorrow."
She paused for a mont, suddenly rembered sothing, "Xiao Yu, you need to wait for to co back before looking for houses, ok?"
Nan Yu laughed softly, "I’ll take a look first, and we can go pick one together after you’re back."
Song Yingqing thought for a mont, "That works too."
Nan Yu checked the ti, "It’s getting late, and you have to catch a plane tomorrow—better rest early."
Song Yingqing nodded, stood up, and went back to her room to rest.
But Nan Yu stayed put, pulling out her cellphone and scrolling through her WeChat contacts list, endlessly swiping downward.
When she finally reached the letter "Z", the light in her eyes dimd, and with a light tap, she opened the chat with "Z".
["Help look into the matter with Nan Qingqing and the Nan Family heiress."]
The black avatar vibrated, and the reply ca in an instant.
["Received, boss. I’ll make sure to deliver it to you in three days."]
The next day.
Nan Yu saw off Song Yingqing on her flight, and upon returning to the entrance, she saw a familiar luxury car.
Xu Qi was standing not far from the car, his back straight, seemingly waiting for soone.
As she approached, she asked with perplexity, "Uncle Xu, what are you doing here?"
Xu Qi looked up at the sound of her voice, a respectful smile on his face, "Young Madam, the old madam sent to find you, to ask if the young master has returned the Silver Needle to you?"
Nan Yu led him upstairs, "Uncle Xu, I have received the item. Please thank grandma for . I could have picked it up another day; there was no need to trouble him to return it to personally."
Xu Qi followed behind with a smile, "Young Madam, you and the young master are husband and wife. How could it be a trouble? Oh, and there’s another matter the old madam sent here for today."
Nan Yu’s hand froze on the doorknob, then she pushed the door open and let him in, concerned, "Uncle Xu, is grandma’s head hurting again?"
"No," Xu Qi quickly denied, and sat down on the sofa across from her, guided by Nan Yu.
He took out two keys from his pocket and said to her, "The old madam asked to give you these."
Nan Yu showed a puzzled look, "What are these for?"
Xu Qi explained, "The old madam ntioned if you do not wish to live with her in the old house, you could choose to live in either of these two residences, or even stay in one for a couple of days, and then in the other if you like."
"One is a matrimonial ho prepared by the old madam for you and the young master, the other is a house the young master purchased for convenience of going to the office, where he usually resides."
Nan Yu lowered her eyes, considering how to reject the offer.
That so-called "husband" of hers had already warned her so many tis within a few days, ordering her to have no contact with him whatsoever.
If she really were to live with him, he would surely accuse her of using tactics to get close to him, thinking she was seducing him.
Xu Qi noticed her hesitation and spoke kindly, "Young Madam, I will leave the keys here. The old madam has made arrangents on both sides, saying you can move in any ti you feel like it. Staying with friends for now is fine too."
At this point in the conversation, it was hard for Nan Yu to refuse further.
She smiled gratefully, "Alright, Uncle Xu. I’ll keep the keys for now, and I’ll go see grandma to thank her in person after I’m less busy in a couple of days."
"If grandma feels unwell at any point, call , and I’ll go to her imdiately."
Xu Qi, looking at the polite and beautiful Nan Yu, couldn’t understand why the Nan Family disliked her so much to sever ties with her.
In the end, he ca to a conclusion—
The Nan Family mbers were all blind!
He silently added in his heart.
Hopefully, the young master isn’t blind and can have a good life with the Young Madam.
