Chapter 167: Gained Status in the Family After Having a Son
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mr. Nan and Mrs. Nan were more considerate. After the banquet began, they asked Nan Ge to take Shen Yanqing out for a walk as soon as he finished eating so that he would not be pestered by the other guests later. After all, this was the first time most of the people present had seen Shen Yanjing, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to get to know him.
As for giving Old Master Nan and Old Madam Nan an explanation, it came down to Nan Zhe who was capable of fooling anyone.
Shen Yanqing was not unfamiliar with Jiang City. For a moment, Nan Ge did not know where to take him. Mrs. Nan reminded them to go back in about an hour.
Assistant Yuan and Miaomiao did not follow.
This was a time that belonged to the two of them alone.
As soon as she left the main hall, Nan Ge felt a warmth on her shoulder. A jacket with the man’s warmth was draped over her.
‘Where are we going?” Shen Yanqing asked.
Nan Ge grabbed his jacket and looked around.
Just as she was about to say that they should go to the nearby park to sit, she suddenly thought of something and turned to look at him happily. “When I was in high school, my brother bought an apartment nearby. I basically lived there at that time. Why don’t I bring you to take a look?”
“I’d like that.”
Shen Yanqing naturally had no objections.
Following her memory, Nan Ge brought Shen Yanqing to the neighborhood on foot. It was only a road away from Yuanjiang Manor.
Fortunately, the estate security had facial recognition, so Nan Ge did not get locked outside. After reaching the eighth floor, she looked at the door in front of her and tried the password from a few years ago. With a soft beep, the door opened.
“The password surprisingly didn’t get changed!” Nan Ge quickly opened the door. “Come in, come in!”
This apartment was regularly cleaned, so even though no one had lived in it for a long time, it was still neat.
The placement of the things was exactly the same as Nan Gels impression. She turned on the lights in the living room and placed Shen Yanqing’s jacket on the sofa. She turned to face him and introduced the place to him. “My grades were not good back then. My brother bought this apartment near the school and studied with me.”
“My high school is located two more roads on the right where we came in just now. If you go back later, you should be able to see it when you pass by.” Nan Zhe had mentioned this story to Shen Yanqing before.
He looked around the room, his gaze falling on the photo frame on the TV cabinet.
In the photo, Nan Ge was wearing a loose school uniform with her hair in pigtails. She was gesturing peace to the camera.
This was the 16-year-old Nan Ge.
The little girl had really not changed at all in the past few years. She still looked
young.
“Was your brother here to take care of you?”
“Yes, yes.” Nan Ge nodded. “He picks me up from school every day and tutors me. At night, my mother will come over and bring us supper.”
This apartment was not big. It had three bedrooms and a living room.
“This is my bedroom.” Nan Ge turned on the light and led him in to take a look.
“Do you live here occasionally now?”
Shen Yanqing looked at the things inside and felt that the apartment did not look like it had not been lived in recently.
The table was filled with textbooks, workbooks, dolls, and pink sheets. There was also a pair of white furry slippers beside the bed.
“No. I haven’t been here since I graduated from high school.” Nan Ge casually flipped through the books on the table. “This place can be considered my nightmare. After graduation, I moved home without a second thought. After school started, I lived on campus and went straight home during the holidays. I didn’t have the chance to come over.”
“I think this apartment has always been empty. Some time ago, my brother even said that if I can get married before I turn 25, this apartment will belong to me.”
Nan Ge leaned against the desk and calculated the housing prices here. “The housing prices have increased greatly in the past two years. This place is worth at least 20 million.”
Shen Yanqing said half-jokingly, “Then you can consider me.”
“Huh?” When Nan Ge realized what he was talking about, her pupils constricted. “It’s still early…”
Marriage was still a little distant to her.
She turned her head and whispered, “Ahem, let’s talk after graduating from university.”
When they left the apartment, Nan Ge took a box with her.
The box was filled with some scattered things from her school days. She planned to go home and take a closer look.
After the banquet ended, Nan Ge got into Shen Yanqing’s car and returned to the Nan family’s old residence.
Assistant Yuan drove and followed Nan Zhe’s car in front of him. After turning a corner and seeing the cars in front of them stop one after another, he looked around at the surroundings and felt that they looked familiar. It was as if… he had been here before.
He glanced at the rearview mirror and said casually, “President Shen, have we been here before? I feel like I’ve seen this environment somewhere before.” Hearing this, Nan Ge stopped putting on her coat in the backseat.
After Assistant Yuan’s reminder, she remembered seeing Shen Yanqing’s mother last night.
She tilted her head and looked at Shen Yanqing. “Doesn’t… doesn’t your mother live here? I bumped into her last night.”
Shen Yanqing did not pay much attention to his surroundings. When he heard Assistant Yuan’s words, he was about to turn around and look out of the car window when Nan Gels words quickly stopped him.
“You saw her again?” His gaze was slightly stunned. “Did she cause trouble for you again?”
This topic was a little sensitive. Assistant Yuan and Miaomiao, who were in the front row, did not dare to listen, so they got out of the car first.
Nan Ge leaned against the back seat, glanced at the starry car roof above her head, and shook her head.
“My brother was there.”
Hearing this, Shen Yanqing heaved a sigh of relief.
He had personally experienced Nan Zhe’s strength. With Nan Zhe around, no one could bully Nan Ge.
“So, does your mother live here?”
Shen Yanqing looked out of the window. The environment was indeed familiar.
“Yes. She has always had property here. She probably stays here when she returns to the country.”
“Oh…” Nan Ge nodded. She remarked on the coincidence and did not continue.
As the elders were still outside, Shen Yanqing did not say anything and got out of the car with Nan Ge.
Because it was too late and Old Master Nan liked Shen Yanqing very much, he invited him to take a look at his antiques. Therefore, he could only stay at the Nan family’s house tonight.
Assistant Yuan and Miaomiao found a hotel nearby to stay in.
Nan Ge had just taken a shower and changed her clothes when she heard Old Master Nan’s praises downstairs.
It seemed like he had a good chat with Shen Yanqing.
Old Master Nan refused to let Shen Yanqing go for a long time. In the end, Nan Zhe took action and said that it was time for their guest to rest. Only then did Shen Yanqing have the chance to go upstairs.
As soon as he stepped on the steps, he saw Nan Ge hiding at the corner of the second floor and waving at him.
From the looks of it, she had been watching here for a long time.
As soon as he went up, Nan Ge pulled him into the room.
“How long have you been outside?” Shen Yanqing wiped a drop of water off her cheek and asked with a smile, “It’s so late. Why aren’t you asleep?”
Nan Ge crossed her arms and did not answer his question. Instead, she said, “Grandpa really likes you. I suddenly feel like a woman in ancient times who has gained status in the family after having a son.”
Shen Yanqing replied, “Huh?”
