Chapter 223: Suddenly Becoming a Horror Movie
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qi Yan was not outstanding enough to stand side by side with Nan Zhe.
If they were students, they could ignore these things. However, in the adult world, the difference between the two of them was too great. The balance had always been tilted. If the two sides were not equal, there would definitely be problems in the end.
In realitv, she imazined the scene of her first meetinz his parents manv times in her head. However, the moment they really met, she still became deflated. “Of course.” Nan Zhe stood opposite her. “Don’t you trust me?”
He knelt down so that he was at eye level with her. “Don’t complicate things for yourself. Just like me, they like you.”
“My father usually doesn’t talk much. He’s the opposite of my mother.” Raising his hand, he rubbed it against her face and smiled.
“Look at you. Weren’t you quite bold previously? Why are you panicking now?”
“My parents have very good personalities. Can’t you tell by looking at Nan Ge and me?”
“That’s true…” Qi Yan nodded in agreement.
Fortunately, Nan Zhe was around. Qi Yan quickly adjusted her mentality and looked much better than when she was in the car.
However, Nan Zhe still sent a message to his parents, dispelling their plans to have dinner together tonight.
With Qi Yan’s current state, eating was probably equivalent to going to jail.
It was better to talk about it another day.
Today was already a considerable breakthrough.
It didn’t matter. She could take her time.
When she came out of the venue, Nan Ge realized that the sky outside had completely darkened.
Winter nights came early, and today seemed to be colder than the previous two days.
Nan Ge was not wearing much today. Her shoulders were trembling when the wind blew.
She suddenly wanted to go home. She wanted to lie under the blanket and watch a movie while eating hot chestnuts or roasted sweet potatoes.
However, Shen Yanqing most likely could not agree.
He was a little obsessed with cleanliness and did not like to eat in the bedroom.
Not to mention in bed.
However, it was her birthday, so she had the most say today. He should be able to make an exception, right?
With this thought in mind, Nan Ge had long forgotten about the surprise and birthday gift. She looked up and asked him,
“Are we going back?”
After a day of shopping, they should be done. It should be over, right?
“There’s another enclosure…” Shen Yanqing became nervous, afraid that she really wanted to go back. “Are you tired from shopping?”
Nan Ge could not say that she wanted to go home, so she could only be tactful. “I’m a little hungry.”
Hearing this, Shen Yanqing heaved a sigh of relief. “There’s a snack shop there.
Go back inside and wait for me for a while.”
“Huh? Hey, no, I…” It was too late for Nan Ge to speak again.
After staring at Shen Yanqing’s back for a few seconds, she sighed and turned to return to the venue.
Not long after she found a chair and sat down, Nan Ge suddenly saw an acquaintance in the crowd. ‘Wait!”
Nan Ge stood up and stopped her. “What a coincidence.”
The girl’s heart skipped a beat as if she was facing a great enemy. “Hehehehe, hello.”
“Are you here alone?” Nan Ge looked around and realized that there were a few people behind her. At first glance, they all looked familiar.
The other party was so nervous that she began to stutter. “Ah… I came with friends.”
“It looks like I’ve seen them all before. Do they all work in Huasheng?” Nan Ge asked directly-
The person she stopped was one of the receptionists at Huasheng.
When she delivered food previously, other than being the most familiar with the president’s office of Huasheng, she also knew the receptionists pretty well.
“Yes, this place just got renovated. Since the tickets are on sale, we decided to come over and check it out together.” Fortunately, a boy behind her reacted quickly and covered for her.
There was nothing wrong with these words, and Nan Ge did not suspect anything.
Moreover, the other party naturally asked her who she came with.
It seemed like it was just a coincidence.
“Then go ahead. I’ll wait for President Shen to come back.” Nan Ge did not waste their time. She waved her hand and watched them leave.
The people pushed and shoved each other and walked out. They heaved a sigh of relief when they left the venue. “That was scary. If I expose myself, does this mean I will lose my year-end bonus?”
“Thanks. Your acting skills are still the best.” The guy who had just helped her out was from the security department.
“I’m glad she didn’t notice anything wrong!”
If anything happened to them, it would really be a sin.
Shen Yanqing ate something with Nan Ge and sat on the spot for a while before getting up to go to the last venue.
On the way there, Nan Ge noticed a sign by the roadside.
“Are we going to the penguin enclosure?”
“Yes, this is the last venue.”
They had seen many strange animals today, but they had never seen penguins before.
She had heard that the largest penguin enclosure in the country was located in Huai City. Was this it?
Nan Ge suddenly became interested.
Her footsteps were faster than before.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the penguin enclosure, there were no tourists inside.
It was empty and quiet.
However, Nan Ge’s attention was on the penguins inside. Under the guidance of the caretaker, she and Shen Yanqing changed their clothes and went in to feed a few penguins.
Halfway through, Shen Yanqing was bumped by an adult penguin. Coupled with the slippery ground, his body tilted.
“Are you alright?” Nan Ge was shocked. She quickly threw down the fish in her hand and went forward to help him up.
Shen Yanqing’s fall was not serious, but his clothes were a little dirty.
“Stay here first. I’ll go out and clean up.”
“I’ll go with you.” Nan Ge wanted to go with him.
Shen Yanqing pointed. “Don’t you have a little more fish in there? Come out after you’re done feeding.”
Nan Ge looked at the remaining fish in the bucket, hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly agreed.
After Shen Yanqing went out, he immediately changed his clothes.
Assistant Yuan, disguised as one of the staff, immediately appeared and handed over the things he had prepared beforehand. “President Shen, everything is ready. Don’t worry!”
Looking at the velvet box in his hand, Shen Yanqing’s breathing was a little unstable.
He did not know if it was because his hand had been frozen just now, but he kept tightening his grip on the ring box, repeatedly tightening and releasing it. “Good luck, President Shen!” Assistant Yuan kept cheering him on.
Inside, under the caretaker’s lead, Nan Ge was playing with a few molting penguins. She did not notice anything wrong outside.
After she finished feeding the remaining fish, Nan Ge could not help but take a few more photos. She said goodbye to the caretaker after she was done and slowly walked out.
What she did not know was that the others had been waiting for her outside for a long time.
After changing, Nan Ge went out to look for Shen Yanqing.
The lights in the venue were dim.
Nan Ge did not see a familiar figure. She stood on the spot and turned around. She looked around carefully but did not see Shen Yanqing.
Not to mention Shen Yanqing, there was not even a single staff there.
When she looked into the penguin enclosure through the glass again, she realized that the breeder who had been there just now was gone. Other than her, there seemed to be only these penguins left.
How did it suddenly become a horror movie??
