Chapter 168: He Had Seen Nan Ge When She Was You
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Yanqing coughed lightly.
“That doesn’t seem to be the right way of using the phrase.”
Wouldn’t that make her his mother?
Nan Ge, on the other hand, listened to his advice and immediately changed her words. “Then what about gaining status because my boyfriend is a big shot?” Shen Yanqing, .
In the end, he did not correct her. “Old Master Nan has a lot of antiques in his collection upstairs. After walking around, it feels like a small museum.”
Nan Ge nodded. “The museums in some small cities might not even have as many treasures as Old Master Nan’s.”
“A few of them were passed down from my family. Back then, he even donated a portion to the museum.”
“Ever since my father officially took over the company, Grandpa has completely let go of himself and focused on these things. However, the fact that he can bring you inside shows he really likes you.”
“Because usually, juniors like us are not qualified to enter, except for my brother. ”
“Grandpa usually keeps the key in the safe.”
Therefore, it was obvious to the naked eye how extraordinary Shen Yanqing’s status was.
Shen Yanqing chatted with Nan Ge for a while longer. He looked at the time. He could not stay long. After saying goodnight to her, he returned to the guest room.
When he came out of Nan Ge ls room, he happened to bump into the butler who had gone upstairs to deliver something to him.
“Mr. Shen.” The old butler nodded slightly at him. “Old Master Nan asked me to bring you some incense. You can sleep better at night.”
“Thank you. I’ll bring it in myself.”
Shen Yanqing reached out to take it. With the help of the light in the corridor, he sized up the old butler in front of him and narrowed his black eyes under his glasses.
The old butler turned around and was about to go downstairs when Shen Yanqing suddenly stopped him.
“Hang on. Have we met somewhere before?”
The old butler looked at him in surprise. He also took a closer look at the man in front of him and finally shook his head. “I don’t think so, right?”
“This should be the first time Mr. Shen and I have met.”
He had been in the Nan family for decades and had always been the Nan family’s butler. He had not had the chance or occasion to see someone like Shen Yanqing before.
Shen Yanqing had never visited the Nan family before either.
Therefore, tonight was the first time the two of them had met.
Seeing that the other party said that he did not know him, Shen Yanqing smiled. ‘You look familiar. I must have mistaken you for someone else.” The old butler also smiled. “Then rest early.”
When he returned to the guest room, the old butler’s face was still in Shen Yanqing’s mind.
It was his first time coming to the Nan residence, but it was definitely not the first time he had seen this butler.
However, he could not remember where he had seen the old butler before.
Shen Yanqing did not continue thinking about it and rested early.
The next morning, after washing up, he immediately pulled open the curtains and opened the window.
The guest room was opposite Nan Ge’s room. The window faced north and was next to the backyard.
He looked down and saw that there were already servants busy in the courtyard. He retracted his gaze and looked into the distance.
Suddenly, his gaze paused.
Looking at the familiar door, fragments of memories surged and tore at his nerves.
In the distance, his mother got into the car and left without any reluctance.
He was forced to stop after a few steps. The driver behind him jogged after him and panted heavily. “Yanqing, stop chasing! It’s dangerous! ”
It was easy to get hurt by following a car like this.
Seeing that Shen Yanqing had stopped, the driver was relieved. Looking at the dazed expression on Shen Yanqing’s face, the driver could not help but comfort him. “Madam probably wants to calm down alone. What mother doesn’t love her child?”
Shen Yanqing did not say anything. The driver sighed and could only stand at the corner with Shen Yanqing in a daze.
After some time, the driver finally came forward. “Yanqing, let’s go back to Huai City first. Don’t wait here. You still have class tomorrow. Madam will go back after thinking it through.”
Finally, under the driver’s persuasion, Shen Yanqing moved his numb body.
“Let’s go back.”
Just as he turned around, a force suddenly came from behind him, causing him to lean forward. Fortunately, he stabilized his feet in time and did not trip.
“Brother! ”
The driver reacted faster than him. He glanced at the child who had suddenly appeared behind him. “Little kid, you’ve got the wrong person.”
As Shen Yanqing spoke, the driver went forward and wanted to pull aside the child’s hand that was wrapped around him. Shen Yanqing did not know where the child got the strength from, but she grabbed the hem of his school uniform and refused to let go. When the driver touched her, she cried. If one did not know better, one would think that she had encountered a human trafficker.
Helpless, Shen Yanqing patted her small hand. “Let go of me first. I can’t see you properly.”
Perhaps she noticed something wrong about his voice or if she really listened to him, but the young lady let go.
Only then could he turn around.
Their eyes met. The little girl stared at him as if she was trying to distinguish something.
He squatted down. “Did you get the wrong person?”
The young man’s tone was gentle, and his black eyes under his glasses were filled with smiles.
The child subconsciously retreated, but when she saw the smile on his face, she stopped in her tracks.
“Huh?” Seeing that the little girl did not speak and only looked at him in a daze, he did not know what to do. “Are you looking for your brother? Little kid, which building do you live in? Do you remember the house number? I’ll send you back.”
“It doesn’t matter if you can’t remember the house number. Do you remember your parents’ number or your brother’s number?”
The child in front of him was probably four or five years old and should be able to remember.
“Yanqing, why don’t we call the police?” The child did not speak for a long time, and the driver was a little impatient.
They were still in a hurry to go back. They could not stay here forever.
“Do you not feel like talking? How about writing it down?”
The young man was extremely patient.
The little girl was wearing a floral dress and her face was red. After a long time, she finally said, “No, I’m not going back…”
As she spoke, she reached out to grab his hand.
The little girl’s hand was small. She held two of his fingers and could not bear to let go. A corner of the young man’s wide school uniform was blown by the wind, bringing with it a clean lemon fragrance, causing the little girl to move closer to him.
He was a little helpless. Just as he was hesitating if he should send the child to the nearby security booth, he suddenly heard a soft sob. “I want my big brother. ”
“Do you know where your brother went?”
The little girl stopped crying and shook her head vigorously.
“When I woke up, he was gone.”
Only then did he notice that this young lady was still barefooted. He did not Imow if she was not wearing shoes or if the shoes fell off while she was running.
He carried her onto his lap and wiped the dust off her feet with a tissue as he asked, “Are your parents at home?” The little girl still shook her head.
“Who’s in the house now?”
The little girl held it in for a long time before saying, “Grandpa, Grandma, and two bad brothers who refuse to let me eat nice stuff…”
It seemed that she remembered where her home was and did not want to go back.
At the mention of food, the little girl cried hard. “Big Brother promised to bring me to buy delicious food when I woke up. Big Brother lied!”
So this was the problem. He smiled and discussed it with her. “How about this?
. Okay..”
