Chapter 94: In-depth Conversation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Nan Zhe changed his mind before long.
If Shen Yanqing was attending the banquet, he naturally had to show up, right?
It just so happened that the two of them could have an in-depth conversation this time.
He had thought about it. According to Nan Ge’s dirty thoughts about Shen Yanqing, he definitely could not stop her from seeing him.
He could only try his best to accept Shen Yanqing now.
Since that was the case, he had to find a suitable opportunity to meet him.
However, there had been some misunderstandings between the two of them previously. He also cared about his face, so he could not be honest with Shen Yanqing directly. He could only use a roundabout tactic. During an official business meeting, he would interact more with Shenyanqing and let him have an epiphany.
He wanted Shen Yanqing to understand his true relationship with Nan Ge.
After they officially met, they could slowly talk.
This was better.
Therefore, this banquet was a good opportunity.
At the thought of this, Nan Zhe pressed the voice message button and sent a message to his secretary. “Tell them that I have time to go over. We’ll set off tomorrow afternoon. ”
The secretary had just rejected Cheng An International and tried his best to find a suitable and polite reason.
The other party replied instantly.
In the end, as soon as he was done texting, he received a message from President Nan.
After hearing the voice message, he choked and did not know what to say.
He felt like scolding someone. What should he do?
Sighing, he typed a reply: [Got it. *Rose* *Rose* ]
He must have committed some sin in his past life to have such a rebellious boss.
8 pm at night.
Nan Zhe appeared at Qi Yan’s studio on time.
He parked across the road so she could see him as soon as she came out.
Qi Yan’s working hours were not fixed. She often had to work overtime without warning.
Nan Zhe did not rush her. He did not tell her that he had arrived. He just waited for her to send him a message after she was done.
He lowered the window and wanted to light a cigarette.
However, he was afraid that the smell of smoke in the car would not dissipate later, so he hesitated for a moment before getting out of the car to smoke.
The weather in Huai City was average today. Nan Zhe lit the lighter repeatedly but it kept getting blown out.
Annoyed, he stood against the wind and tried again. With difficulty, he lit his cigarette.
Halfway through the cigarette, his phone screen lit up. Qi Yan had sent a message asking if he had arrived.
Nan Zhe did not answer. Instead, he asked: [Are you done?]
He held a cigarette in one hand, his phone in the other, and typed with one hand.
Qi Yan did not reply.
Nan Zhe exhaled, feeling that she might have gone back to work.
The wind made his fingers a little stiff. He put the cigarette to his mouth and changed his hand to type.
Just as he typed a letter, a voice sounded from behind him. “Brother Nan!”
Nan Zhe paused and subconsciously looked back in the direction of the voice.
On the long stairs, the girl stood there in a thin sweater. She had probably come out in a hurry and had forgotten to put on her jacket.
Seeing him turn around, she quickly waved her hand hard in the air as if she was afraid that he could not see her.
Nan Zhe frowned, not knowing why she had come out.
When he regained his senses, he raised his hand to extinguish the cigarette in his hand and walked towards her.
“Why did you come out?”
“Have you waited a long time?”
Their voices collided.
Qi Yan was slightly stunned before she smiled. “I just got up and stretched. I looked downstairs and saw your car.”
“You have sharp eyes.”
“Of course.” She was a little smug. “I’ve only sat in your car once. Actually, it’s indeed difficult to recognize your car without taking a closer look. However, your license plate number is too excessive, so it’s difficult to not remember it.” Nan Zhe had been driving very low-key cars the last two times he had seen her.
However, he could not do the same with his license plate number.
His license plate number consisted of the same number, so anyone would want to take a second look.
Nan Zhe was worried that the wind was too strong and took off his coat to give it to her. Qi Yan shook her head and took half a step back, saying that she was not cold. “Why didn’t you tell me when you arrived?”
“I didn’t mean to.” He retracted his hand and raised the half-smoked cigarette in his other hand. “I was smoking. I type slowly.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Are you done?”
“Not yet. I think I’ll need half an hour more. Come in and wait.” “Go in. I’ll wait outside after smoking.” “It’s fine. It’s so cold outside. You can smoke inside just the same.”
“The smell of smoke is too strong.”
Qi Yan grabbed his hand and pulled him forward. As she walked, she said,? “I’m working overtime alone. No one can smell it. Let’s go.”
After entering, Nan Zhe still did not smoke the remaining cigarette in his hand. He casually threw the cigarette into the trash can and Qi Yan poured him a glass of water.
“Take a seat first. I’ll work quickly and finish as soon as I can.”
“Okay.” Nan Zhe sat down on the chair and looked up to see Qi Yan.
Their office area was open concept with a pantry beside it. It was not big.
Larger areas were used to store clothing and accessories, along with some indoor photography backgrounds.
Qi Yan was very serious when she worked and quickly forgot about Nan Zhe’s existence.
Initially, she had expected it to take half an hour for her to finish. However, her obsessive-compulsive disorder acted up. She wanted perfection and only ended after nearly an hour.
Throughout the entire process, Nan Zhe only drank water silently and did not make a sound.
Qi Yan pressed her neck and turned off the computer. When she turned around and met his gaze, she was still in a daze.
Nan Zhe’s eyes were focused on her. She did not know how long he had been looking at her.
She looked over too suddenly, and Nan Zhe could not react.
The emotions in their eyes collided openly, and then the room fell silent.
Soon, Nan Zhe’s expression changed. He raised his eyebrows at her and returned to his usual casual and yuppie image.
He put down his legs and straightened his body. “Is it over?” he asked her.
“Yes.” Qi Yan came back to her senses and quickly stood up. “After I started working, I forgot about everything else.”
She slapped her forehead and went to get her bag in frustration. “Come on!
Let’s go eat now. You finished work ages ago, so you should be hungry, right?”
“No, I just ate something on the way. I’m not very hungry.” Nan Zhe spun the car keys in his hand. “Take your time to pack. No hurry.”
Qi Yan didn’t listen to him. She swept the things on the table into the canvas bag and zipped it up without even looking. “I’m ready. Let’s go!”
Nan Zhe was neither fast nor slow like an old man taking a walk after dinner. Qi Yan found him slow and urzed him. She followed behind and kept pushing him forward.
“What’s the hurry?” Nan Zhe sneered. “Are you hungry?”
“It’s almost ten o’clock. Won’t it be midnight by the time you get home after dinner? It’s not safe to drive at night.”
“I’ll definitely finish my work early next time.”
Hearing her words, Nan Zhe chimed in. “You’re the boss and your studio has just started. It’s normal for you to be busy. You didn’t expect yourself to have to work anyway. ”
“I didn’t wait long today. If I waited for three to four hours, I would definitely want to flip the table.”
After getting into the car, Nan Zhe buckled his seatbelt with one hand and turned on the air conditioner with the other.
As soon as his hand landed, a box was handed to him from the side.
He lowered his eyes and took a look. Then, he looked at the passenger seat and was stunned.
“Here.” Qi Yan weighed the box in her hand. “A lighter. It’s new.”
