The next afternoon, they had lunch at the hotel.
While Shen Yanqing was on the phone, Nan Ge learned about the incident last night from Su Hui.
“How is that possible?” Nan Ge was so shocked that the steak on her fork fell.
In her impression, Shen Yanqing was not that kind of person.
He had always been reserved and rarely expressed his love in front of outsiders. It was already a big breakthrough for him to say those words yesterday.
How could he kiss her in front of Su Hui’s cousin on purpose?
“That’s what my cousin said. Look, look.” Su Hui showed her WeChat on her phone. They were drunk last night. She only realized that her cousin had sent her more than ten messages when she woke up early in the morning.
Nan Ge took it and read them seriously.
Obviously, Su Hui’s cousin was here to complain. Every word revealed grievance.
Perhaps it was a skill that came with the northeastern people, but from their voice messages, through Su Hui’s cousin’s vivid and angry description, the scene at that time actually appeared in Nan Ge’s mind…
At the thought that Shen Yanqing had deliberately kissed her in front of others, and in front of a boy who liked her, Nan Ge’s face could not help but burn.
She still refused to admit it. “He’s not such a childish person.”
This did not seem like something Shen Yanqing could do.
Perhaps it was true that she had drunk too much and pressed him against the car door to kiss him.
She was drunk and in front of her beauty, it was understandable that she could not control herself.
However, Shen Yanqing did not drink. He was such an upright person. He might blush if she kissed him in front of others.
It felt fake just thinking about it.
Nan Ge felt that Su Hui’s cousin’s description might have been exaggerated, so she did not believe him at all.
Su Hui was so angry that she poked her head. ‘You’ve been in a relationship for so long, but why don’t you understand men at all? They don’t think this is childish at all. Display of sovereignty is necessary in their eyes.” “Huh?” Nan Ge tilted her head. This was the first time she had heard of it.
“Ah, I understand.” As she spoke, Su Hui suddenly slammed the table, scaring the other three so much that their shoulders trembled. They looked at her in confusion.
“My cousin just said that he likes you the night before and President Shen arrived the next day. Did you mention my cousin to him?”
Nan Ge nodded. “Yes.”
Su Hui immediately looked like she just knew it. “President Shen is really something. He came all the way here for a little love rival whose heart was already broken the moment you appeared.”
She gave him a thumbs up. It was unknown if she was really praising Shen
Yanqing. “I’m impressed.”
Hearing her words, no matter how stupid Nan Ge was, she understood.
What emptiness? Shen Yanqing had rushed over because he heard that there was a love rival. Thinking about it this way, Shen Yanjing might really have deliberately kissed her in front of Su Hui’s s cousin.
With this premise, it was much more reasonable.
Nan Ge still looked like she did not believe Su Hui just now. In just a few minutes, she seemed to have opened the door to a new world and got to know Shen Yanqing again.
It turned out that old men could also be so childish.
“He… We’re already engaged. Why is he still worried about love rivals?” She seemed to be complaining, but it felt sweet inside.
Su Hui and Fang Yuanyuan felt annoyed. After beating their chests and stomping their feet, they said, “What does this have to do with your engagement and marriage? It’s very easy to understand. You’re young, cute, and beautiful. You haven’t graduated from university, and your future has just begun. President Shen likes you so much. When you meet boys your age, he will definitely feel a sense of crisis.”
“If you don’t believe me, test President Shen. Although he usually looks like he doesn’t care, he has always clearly remembered that there’s a difference of eight years between the two of you. This age difference is like a knife that will always be hanging in his heart.”
“He’s nervous and afraid that my cousin or some other boy will make you use this knife to stab him.”
“But eight years isn’t a long time.” Nan Ge was only sensitive to this number once or twice.
“If you put it that way, eight years is indeed just an ordinary number. Time passes so quickly and it’s indeed not worth mentioning. But think about it. When President Shen graduated from university, you were just in junior high school. He will already be in his thirties after you graduate from university. It’s a good age to get married and have children.”
“If he started early, you were still in kindergarten around the time he started seeing girls.”
“In hindsight, does this mean that these eight years are not just a number?”
“So don’t always be so indifferent, and don’t think that President Shen is magnanimous. He’s also a normal man. He’ll be jealous, possessive, and feel inferior to the eight-year-old age difference. You have to care about him more.”
Su Hui touched her chin and clicked her tongue indistinctly. “No wonder President Shen kept looking at my cousin when we first met yesterday. His gaze lingered on my cousin for a long time.”
Nan Ge, ‘
Out of courtesy, Shen Yanqing’s gaze would not stay on anyone for long. That kind of direct gaze was ungentlemanly for him. Unless they were communicating, he would look at the other party seriously. However, when they first met, he would not be so abrupt.
At most, he would maintain eye contact for three seconds before looking away.
Even if he was very interested, he would not do this.
Now that she heard Su Hui’s analysis, she increasingly felt that she had overlooked too many details.
Shen Yanqing must be very sad.
That afternoon, Nan Ge did not go out and stayed in the hotel to rest.
Knowing that Nan Ge and Shen Yanqing had something to say, Su Hui kindly brought Fang Yuanyuan and Cheng Xia to the nearby zoo with her cousin as the driver. Assistant Yuan knew that President Shen was not going out in the afternoon, so this meant he could get a break. He was unfamiliar with the place and had nothing to do, so he simply went out with Su Hui and the others.
“Why aren’t you with them?” Shen Yanqing thought that his appearance had disturbed her travel plans. “I’ll go back to Huai City later. Go hang out with them.”
Nan Ge lied. “I’m a little dizzy. I don’t want to go out anymore.”
When Shen Yanqing heard this, he did not dare to let her out. He boiled some hot water and fed her some medicine. “It’s probably because you drank last night. Go to sleep. Your head won’t hurt when you wake up. I’ll wake you up when they come back tonight.”
After Nan Ge finished drinking the medicine, she lay on the bed and stared at him.
The blanket was pulled up high, revealing only her eyes. Her eyes spun around as she thought about something.
Shen Yanqing washed the cup with his back facing her. He was so busy that he did not notice her gaze.
When he was done cleaning up, he subconsciously turned around to look for the figure on the bed. Caught off guard, he fell into her eyes.
He paused and pursed his lips into a smile. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Nan Ge did not speak. Her face was hidden under the blanket, so he could not see her current expression. He could only see the complicated emotions in her eyes..
