88 Choose a Coffin
Nan Ge desperately winked at Qi Yan. Fortunately, Qi Yan was smarter than her and immediately understood.
After confirming that Qi Yan would not tell Nan Zhe, Nan Ge let go.
Qi Yan’s gaze lingered on the siblings.
Soon, she imagined an eight o’clock prime-time romance drama.
This girl seemed to be with another man a few days ago, but now… Hmmm?
Nan Zhe noticed that Qi Yan’s gaze slowly changed from doubt to heartache to sympathy.
“It’s fine, Brother Nan. Everything’s going to be fine.”
At a time like this, as a brother, Qi Yan naturally had to comfort Nan Zhe and mentally prepare him. She walked over and tidied Nan Zhe’s hair which got messed up by the wind. She comforted him. “It’s fine, it’s fine. Getting cheated on won’t kill you.”
Nan Zhe, “…”
Immediately after, Qi Yan turned back and shook Nan Ge’s hand. “Sister-in-law, a pleasure to meet you.”
This was the first time Qi Yan had seen such a brave girl. She actually dared to cheat on Nan Zhe. Tsk, tsk, tsk. She was really a role model for her.
Nan Ge, “Huh??”
No, who was her sister-in-law?
The corners of Nan Zhe’s mouth twitched fiercely. He went forward and separated the two of them. He gritted his teeth and explained, “She’s my sister. We have the same mother.”
Half an hour later, Nan Zhe sent Qi Yan home.
Then, he drove Nan Ge back to Jiang City.
“Brother, didn’t you say you were staying in Huai City tonight?”
Nan Ge spoke fearlessly.
“I should go back. Someone can collect your corpse later.”
“…”
That was true. If she stayed here, no one would call the police for her even if Nan Zhe beat her to death tonight.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“Uh, say what?”
Nan Zhe gripped the steering wheel tightly. “Tell me about you and Shen Yanqing.”
Nan Ge looked troubled. She scratched her head and whispered, “We just had a meal together.”
After she finished speaking, she heard her brother sneer.
Scratching her head, Nan Ge could only tell the truth. “It’s similar to your situation tonight. We’re just having dinner and a date…”
As soon as she finished speaking, she carefully observed her brother’s reaction.
Her brother looked calm on the surface. After two seconds, he gritted his teeth and commented, “Very well.”
“…”
When her phone vibrated, Nan Ge turned it on and looked at it.
Nan Zhe also heard it.
“Shen Yanqing?” The husky suddenly became alert.
“Uh, yes.”
“What did he say?”
“Nothing much… He just asked me where I was.”
“Oh, he’s still concerned about you? He ran quite quickly just now.”
He was always sarcastic.
Nan Ge could not help but speak up for Shen Yanqing. “I threatened him to leave first. He wanted to stay and say hello to you before leaving…”
Nan Zhe seemed to have heard a joke. “He’s so naive at his age.”
“If he stayed and said hi to me, he won’t be able to leave.”
Nan Ge choked.
When her brother was not paying attention, she quickly typed back to Shen Yanqing: [I’m fine! My brother and I are already on our way home. Don’t worry!]
When Shen Yanqing saw her reply, he heaved a sigh of relief. [If you run into any trouble, remember to ask your brother to contact me any time. I’ll explain.]
[Don’t worry. My brother is just a little fierce when he talks. He won’t really touch me. His bark just looks angrier than his bite and looks scary…]
Nan Zhe stopped the car in front of the green traffic light. Seeing that Nan Ge was still focused on replying to messages in the front passenger seat, he narrowed his eyes and snatched the phone away.
Coincidentally, he happened to see her say his bark just looks scarier than his bite.
He turned his head, his gaze kind.
“Um, Brother, can you let me finish replying to this message first?”
Nan Zhe casually threw her phone aside. “Stop replying. Just ask him to order a coffin with a sliding lid for you.”
Nan Ge, “…”
——
Shen Yanqing felt this was wrong. It was as if he had pushed all the problems to Nan Ge alone.
It was clearly a matter between two people.
Besides, they were just dating. It was not like they were doing anything shady.
There was no need to be so secretive.
Hence, after some thought, he added Nan Zhe on WeChat.
His main account was blacklisted, so it was impossible for him to contact Nan Zhe.
Nan Zhe was driving and had no time to look at his phone.
When they reached home, Nan Ge was afraid that he would really hit her. As soon as she entered the garage and pushed open the car door, she hurriedly fled before the car completely stopped.
Nan Zhe calmly retracted his gaze and did not chase after her.
In any case, she could run, but she could not hide.
After getting out of the car, he looked at his phone as he walked towards the hall.
As soon as he entered, he saw a WeChat notification for someone to be added.
He clicked on it and saw a note: [Hello, I’m Shen Yanqing, Nan Ge’s boyfriend.]
“…” Nan Zhe was so angry that he kicked the trash can beside him.
This old man was really persistent.
Because of Shen Yanqing’s appearance, Nan Zhe decided to deal with him first. As for Nan Ge, her sentencing was deferred.
He agreed and fired at him right away.
[I won’t argue with you this time. Let’s slowly reason with each other.]
[Yes, she has followed you for so many years. As her brother, I have to admit this.]
[She used to have a crush on you, but she actually can’t tell what love is. Now, at most, she has a good impression of you.]
[Besides, adolescent girls change their minds all the time. They’re young and playful. What if she dumps you in a couple of days?]
[You’re almost 30 years old, but you’re different from her. Why are you playing house with her?]
[Let’s be rational and mature. My sister has a lot of shortcomings and is not worthy of you at all. Really, I’ll introduce you to a better one. How about that?]
Obviously, Nan Zhe had started to change tactics.
——
Before Shen Yanqing could finish typing, the other party’s messages came in continuously like machine guns, not giving him any chance.
However, he quickly caught the main point of the other party’s words—a crush.
He quickly recalled what Nan Ge had said in the restaurant.
He lowered his eyes, his thoughts unclear.
After a few seconds, he continued typing. [Hello, I’m Shen Yanqing. Because you blacklisted my WeChat account last time, I can only contact you with this number. I’m not here to quarrel with you today.]
[I know you have some misunderstandings about me. I also know that you’re more concerned about what happened tonight, so I wanted to explain to you and resolve the misunderstanding between us.]
[First of all, I apologize to you. I was indeed a little rude tonight. No matter what, I should have greeted you first.]
[Secondly, I agree with what you said. Nan Ge is still young. Be it in terms of experience or intelligence, she is indeed not as mature as us. However, I don’t think she can’t differentiate between love and admiration at such a young age. I believe she has the ability to distinguish them.]
[Nan Ge and I only decided to be together tonight. We had thought about it carefully and were not impulsive. She is very serious about relationships, and so am I.]
[As her brother, it’s not wrong for you to be like this. I can understand what you’re worried about. In every sense, Nan Ge is indeed at a disadvantage when I’m with her. In terms of age, I can’t change it.]
[As for myself, whatever I say now is actually too one-sided. I can’t just use a few words to completely change your opinion of me.]
[If you have time, I think we can sit down and talk in person.]
