Chapter 107: Threatening Him in the Name of Morality
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Yanqing slowly relaxed. He hugged Nan Ge and heaved a sigh of relief.
After a few minutes of silent hugs, he still wanted to apologize to Nan Zhe in person.
Nan Ge thought for a moment and shook her head. “I think we should do it another day. My brother is not very rational every time he’s angry.”
“How about tomorrow?”
Shen Yanqing looked at the time and hesitated for a moment before answering.
“Are you staying here tonight?”
“Yes, yes.” Nan Ge nodded. If she still left with Shen Yanqing now, she would really be courting death.
The light in the corridor was very bright. Shen Yanqing studied Nan Ge l s face under the light. He hesitated and wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by the ringtone of her phone.
Nan Ge took out her phone and looked at it. As expected, it was a call from her brother.
“I have to go back.”
“Don’t stay here anymore. The banquet is still going on downstairs. Remember to go back early and not stay too late!”
Nan Ge did not forget that he was still a patient.
“Okay.” Shen Yanqing’s thin lips moved as his gaze followed her figure.
Nan Ge opened the door. Before she entered, she turned around and waved at him. She mouthed, “Go back quickly!”
Shen Yanqing chuckled and waved his hand like her. “You should rest early too. Call me if you need anything.”
Assistant Yuan and Secretary Dong were analyzing the situation downstairs and discussing fervently. In the end, they turned around and saw Shen Yanqing walking out of the elevator.
“President Shen!”
The two of them quickly stood up and went forward.
Shen Yanqing put on his coat as he walked. His expression was no different from before, and he looked worried.
“Are you done talking to Miss Nan Ge so quickly? Really? Are you going back to the banquet now?” Assistant Yuan asked.
Shen Yanqing did not intend to stay any longer. “Go and tell Chairman Wan that we’re leaving. Also, get someone to send some food up.”
He did not know if it was because he was still sick, but he felt physically and mentally exhausted and his head was a little dizzy.
“Oh, okay!”
Although Shen Yanqing did not say whom the food was for, the two of them understood.
Before leaving, Shen Yanqing had already expected his WeChat to be blocked by Nan Zhe. He simply called the hotel to get a pen and paper and prepared a handwritten apology letter. He asked the waiter to send it up with dinner.
He could only apologize in person another day, but he could not leave without doing this.
20 minutes later, Nan Zhe leaned against the sofa with an apple in one hand and a card in the other. He scanned the contents quickly.
With a snap, he took a big bite of the apple and commented vaguely,
“Pretentious. This is the only thing he knows.”
Nan Ge rolled her eyes speechlessly when he could not see her.
“He insisted on apologizing to you in person and has been waiting at the door. I was afraid that you would be even more unhappy to see him now, so I asked him to go back first.”
Nan Ge pleaded for Shen Yanqing. “He was also frightened by you and blamed himself. Brother, don’t be angry.”
“And look, his attitude is quite sincere. I asked him to go back directly, but he turned around and sent food and an apology letter.”
Not to mention anything else, Shen Yanqing had never lost in terms of etiquette and details. In her life, other than Shen Yanjing, she had never seen anyone else so considerate.
“When are you free? We can do it here or in Jiang City. He wants to buy you dinner, okay?”
“Do I look desperate for a free meal?” Nan Zhe threw the paper in his hand on the table. “Do I look like I can’t pay for myself? Why should I do it?”
“He wants to apologize to you…”
“Stop being stubborn.”
Nan Ge felt that this could not go on. Her brother was stubborn and unreasonable now. She really could not get through to him for a while.
After some thought, she quickly changed her strategy. “Brother, you can’t possibly watch the two of us really separate, right? This is the first time I’ve met someone I like in my life.”
“You don’t really want to see your cute sister die alone, do you?”
Hearing this, Nan Zhe stopped biting the apple and looked at her with a frown.
What was this? Was she starting to act like she was in some sad drama?
Why did it seem like she was threatening him in the name of morality?
But then again, Nan Zhe suddenly remembered that he had never asked Nan Ge about her feelings.
In hindsight, Nan Zhe really felt that he was a little like a villain. He even took the script of a vicious stepmother.
At the thought of this, he straightened his expression and stopped eating the apple. With a serious expression on his face, he put down his crossed legs.
“Tell me, what’s so good about Shen Yanqing? Why are you so obsessed with him? Do you have to keep thinking about him for so many years?”
Nan Ge was stunned by his question.
After a long while, she replied, “Actually, I had a stereotype of him at first. Just like you, I felt that he was not a good person.”
“But after interacting with him, I realized that it’s not like that. A person can disguise themselves well and not reveal any flaws once or twice. However, for so long, he has been restrained and polite as usual, not only in front of me.”
“Actually, I don’t know what I like about him. Is it his looks or character? I can’t say for sure either.”
“Oh, I just feel that if I miss him, there will definitely be no substitute comparable to him in this world.”
“Perhaps Shen Yanqing might be a little bad and hurt me in the future.
However, that’s just a hypothesis. Actually, you and I don’t know if this will happen.”
“But is it really fair for us to use stereotypes to judge him?”
“Besides, even if the final outcome is not satisfactory, I can accept it calmly.
“I know you all think I’m a little silly and stupid. I can’t do anything well and don’t know anything. But, Brother, I’m really not a child anymore…”
“When I applied for Huai University without hesitation back then, you supported me unconditionally. Believe me again.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she held her breath and looked at Nan Zhe timidly.
The living room fell silent. It was so quiet that only Nan Zhe’s breathing could be heard.
After a long time, the person on the sofa finally moved and looked up at her.
Sensing him looking over, Nan Ge subconsciously clenched her fists, too nervous to move.
She rarely spoke to her brother so seriously. In the past, the two of them would play around.
Nan Ge was not used to suddenly becoming serious.
It was as if she had suddenly returned to the summer after the college entrance examination two years ago.
Just like that time on the phone, her brother did not make a sound after listening to her words for a long time…
She held her phone nervously, afraid that her brother would get negative about her wishes like her parents.
Finally, these extremely torturous and long minutes came to an abrupt end.
Nan Zhe suddenly reached out to her. “Come here.”
Nan Ge blinked and obediently walked over.
One of them stood and the other sat. After looking at each other silently for a few seconds, Nan Zhe got up and pulled her into his arms. He patted her head. “Who says my Nan Ge is stupid? I’ve never felt that way..”
