70 Countdown to Valentine’s Day
There were only two days left until Valentine’s Day.
Recently, Yu stopped seeing his girlfriend and kept visiting the Nan family frequently.
His actions were very strange to Nan Zhe.
It was fine for the first two days, but towards the end, Nan Zhe could not help but become vigilant. He grabbed him and asked if he had taken a fancy to Nan Ge.
Yu was speechless and rolled his eyes.
Fortunately, he had an eloquent mouth. In two or three sentences, he settled Nan Zhe’s side.
In the bedroom on the third floor.
“Let’s talk about your outfit today.” Yu sat on the sofa and rubbed his chin as he sized her up. “Have you decided what to wear that day?”
“Uh… Does it have to be very formal?” Nan Ge had never thought of this question.
On her first date, she did not know anything and was a little confused.
In addition, Yu had been instilling all kinds of knowledge points into her for the past few days, causing her to have a headache and not have the mood to care about anything else.
“Of course!” Yu found two photos for her. “Something like this. Take out all your evening wear!”
Nan Ge leaned closer and took a deep breath.
“Isn’t this… a little too much?”
She was going on a date, not to a dinner party.
The skirt was already dragging on the ground. If she went to a roadside stall, she would probably be treated as a lunatic, right?
“You’re single. What do you know? You have to be grand to show how important this date is to you.”
Nan Ge believed him.
She could only rummage through the wardrobe. She did not have such an exaggerated evening gown.
The most exaggerated outfit she owned was a black princess dress.
“This one then.” Yu made the final decision.
Nan Ge gasped and looked at the dress left and right, doubting her life.
“You have to believe me.” Yu was confident. “Your other clothes are too monotonous. There’s no novelty at all. You might as well wear pajamas.”
Nan Ge, “…”
“Anything else?”
“Gifts. Did you prepare a gift?”
“I almost forgot!”
“There’s still time to prepare.”
“Let’s go out and take a walk.”
——
Men knew men better.
As soon as they entered the mall, Yu pulled Nan Ge to look at the accessories immediately.
They looked at the brooches, handkerchiefs, and cufflinks.
They were not particularly expensive, but Shen Yanqing could still use them.
Because she had bought a tie with Shen Yanqing last time, Nan Ge looked at the other items without hesitation.
“These cufflinks are very nice. What do you think?” Nan Ge did not have any opinions. Yu’s opinion was very important when it came to men’s accessories.
“No, this is too childish. This suits Brother Nan more. Pick something else.”
“What about this?”
“The price is too low. It’s a little embarrassing. He won’t use it even if you give it to him.”
“True.”
Nan Ge continued to choose.
After choosing for nearly half an hour, the two of them finally agreed.
Nan Ge heaved a sigh of relief. This was the first time she felt that giving gifts was so troublesome.
Since she was already out, Nan Ge wanted to take a look.
Yu had nothing else to do, so he accompanied her.
Nan Ge wanted to buy a pair of shoes to match the black dress. As soon as the two of them entered the shop, the sound of high heels approached.
“Hey, it’s really you.”
Nan Ge and Yu looked over at the same time.
The woman opposite her was about 30 years old. She was dressed very maturely and had the word “rich” written all over her face. It was all branded.
However, this person… Yu did not know her.
Therefore, he turned to look at Nan Ge.
Nan Ge, who was beside him, was also confused. Did she know this person?
The woman smiled at her. “We met at Shen Yanqing’s house.”
“Ah!” After her reminder, the image of that night quickly flashed through Nan Ge’s mind. “You’re President Shen’s cousin, right?”
“Yes.” The woman reached out to her and shook her hand gently. “I saw you before you came in just now. I thought I was mistaken.”
“What a coincidence.”
Nan Ge smiled dryly.
She could only say that she had met the other party before and was not familiar with her at all.
She did not know what to talk about.
“Is he your…” The woman raised her eyebrows and looked at Yu.
Yu was only in his early twenties. He was filled with youth and unrestrained.
He was completely different from Shen Yanqing.
It was really hard not to imagine things since they came out to shop at this hour.
“This is my friend.”
“Oh.” The woman nodded with a faint smile.
“Xiaoyue?”
Hearing the voice, the woman turned around and waved at her. “Aunt, I’m here.”
Aunt…
Nan Ge was slightly stunned. She followed the other party’s gaze and saw a woman slowly walking over.
The other party looked a little older than her mother. She was about fifty years old, but she had a good temperament.
Just as she was in a daze, Yu tilted his head and whispered into her ear, “The jade on this auntie’s neck and hand is so expensive.”
“Huh?” Nan Ge did not notice.
Yu’s family was in the jewelry business. He could tell the approximate price at a glance.
“This auntie’s background is not simple. She looks a little mean. Is she President Shen’s aunt?”
This Xiaoyue opposite her was President Shen’s cousin. Then this aunt must be their aunt, right?
“Aunt, you came at the right time. This is the young lady I told you about before.” Xiaoyue held the woman’s hand and pointed at Nan Ge opposite her.
In the next moment, Nan Ge felt a sharp gaze on her.
It was as if she was sizing up a commodity. She did not hide his gaze at all. There was a hint of scrutiny and slight hostility.
It was very uncomfortable.
Nan Ge pursed her lips and greeted the other party politely.
The woman only nodded slightly and did not speak.
She was probably dissatisfied with her and quickly looked away.
Then again, this was good. Nan Ge could also heave a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to say goodbye to Xiaoyue and leave, she heard the other party introduce her warmly. “Your name is Nan Ge, right? This is Shen Yanqing’s mother.”
Nan Ge stopped talking and widened her eyes at the woman.
Yu, who was watching from the side, was also stunned.
Not just an aunt, but Shen Yanqing’s mother?
However, what puzzled Nan Ge was that Shen Yanqing clearly said that his mother was overseas that day.
Why was she here now?
“Since we’ve met, why don’t we have a meal together?” Xiaoyue suggested.
Yu sighed and felt that there was something wrong with the other party’s brain.
How could she have the cheek to eat together?
However, the other party was mainly inviting Nan Ge, so it was not up to him. He could only wink at Nan Ge.
“I’m sorry. We still have to buy something. Also, our family is waiting for us to eat at home. We’re going back soon.”
“Maybe next time.” Nan Ge’s words were appropriate.
“Alright, alright. Call Shen Yanqing next time. Let’s sit down and eat as a family.”
As soon as Xiaoyue said this, before Nan Ge could react, she heard the woman beside her speak in a reprimanding tone, “Xiaoyue, what are you saying? Who are you calling family?”
