Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After two consecutive days of exams, the weekend finally arrived.
Early on Saturday morning, Nan Yan received a call from the headmaster asking her to come to the laboratory.
Old Master An had just finished his morning routine and was about to have breakfast.
Seeing her about to leave, he couldn’t help but ask, “Yanyan, isn’t today the weekend? Why are you up so early?”
“I have something to take care of.”
Nan Yan picked up a piece of bread from the dining table, looked at Old Master An’s noticeably improved complexion, and casually asked, “Grandfather, how have you been feeling lately?”
Old Master An chuckled, “Not bad at all. Yanyan’s medicine is quite effective. I must say, I feel much better than before.”
Nan Yan was confident in her medical skills and nodded, “Then keep taking it, and remember, maintaining a good mood is also important.”
“Yes, yes, I know!” Old Master An replied.
“I have something to do, so I’ll be going out. I’ll spend more time with you when I get back.”
“Go ahead.”
Although Old Master An really wanted to spend more time with his granddaughter, he also knew that Nan Yan was a capable person.
Not only did she possess extraordinary medical skills, but she also had outstanding computer abilities. In time, her achievements would undoubtedly be significant. Therefore, he couldn’t hold her back.
Old Master An also understood that the best support he could provide to her was to stand quietly behind her.
When she was tired, there would always be a warm and quiet haven for her to rest.
He couldn’t do much to help, but the one thing he could do was to ensure that her parents, who were unclear about their priorities, wouldn’t cause her any more trouble and wouldn’t become stumbling blocks on her path to growth.
After a moment of contemplation, Old Master An made a decision.
“Elder Tian, please help me arrange a meeting with Lawyer Wang later. I want to modify my will.”
Tian Yi hesitated for a moment, but seeing the determination in his eyes, he nodded and went to call Lawyer Wang.
The headmaster and Nan Yan arranged to meet at a cafe not far from the laboratory.
Since Nan Yan didn’t have her driver’s license yet, even though there was a car in the garage, technically, she couldn’t drive it. So, she decided to call a taxi to get there.
After settling the taxi fare and getting out of the car, Nan Yan entered the cafe.
“Yanyan, over here.”
Outside of school, the headmaster addressed Nan Yan with warmth in his voice.
Nan Yan walked over to him when she saw him.
After she had taken her seat, the headmaster explained, “We have to wait for one more person. I called him, and we can only enter when he arrives.”
“Okay.”
Nan Yan wasn’t in a hurry; as long as she could make the T-1 reagent today, it would be fine.
While waiting, her phone rang.
It was Qin Lu.
She hesitated for a moment but decided to answer.
“Yanyan, where did you go?”
Qin Lu was currently sitting on the sofa in the An family’s old mansion, with Old Master An across from him.
Nan Yan glanced at the headmaster, who had a look of disdain as he sipped his coffee, and calmly replied, “The school’s headmaster had something to discuss with me, so I’m with him right now.”
Anyway, she was indeed with the headmaster at the moment. It didn’t matter who sought whom.
Having deceived Qin Lu multiple times, she had become quite adept at it.
“Oh, I see…”
“What’s wrong, Brother?”
Qin Lu chuckled lightly. “Did you forget, Brother said before that you should come and ‘help’ Brother on Saturday and Sunday?”
Nan Yan:
She thought he was just joking. But now it seemed like he was serious? “Yanyan, you don’t think Brother is joking with you, do you?”
After expressing his feelings so suddenly that day, Qin Lu hadn’t come to see her in the past few days. He wanted to give her time to accept it and also to give himself some time to calm down.
Finally, when Saturday came, he had planned to spend quality time with her and nurture their relationship. But it seemed that his plans had fallen through.
Nan Yan wanted to give him a definite answer, but she could hear a hint of hurt in his magnetic voice as he spoke, so she licked her lips and said, “Today might not work, I have something important to do. If you’re free tomorrow, I can spend time with you then.”
This man was really good at manipulating her emotions.
But even though she knew he was faking it, she couldn’t bear to disappoint him.
Seriously…
When did he occupy such a significant place in her heart?
Nan Yan had no clue, so she decided to go with the flow.
Having been reborn, aside from seeking revenge, she didn’t seem to have any other life goals. Now, she had one more goal, and it felt pretty good.
On the other end of the phone, Qin Lu couldn’t see her emotional changes, but he let out a charming laugh, “Alright, then go ahead and be busy. When you’re done, give your brother a call.”
Nan Yan replied with an acknowledgment and promptly ended the call.
The headmaster, waiting for her to finish her call, asked, “Yanyan, do you have other matters to attend to?”
Nan Yan guessed what he meant and shook her head, saying, “It’s not a big deal, and it’s not as important as going to the laboratory. But could I ask which laboratory you mentioned earlier?”
“Then let me check again.”
The headmaster took out his phone and called the other party.
But a minute later, his face darkened.
“I’m sorry, Yanyan. The other party had initially agreed to let you borrow the laboratory, but now they suddenly say no. I didn’t expect them to change their minds at the last minute… I apologize…”
Nan Yan looked at the headmaster, who was clearly suppressing his anger, and appeared genuinely remorseful. She smiled faintly, “It’s okay. If I can’t use it here, I can find another laboratory. Please don’t blame yourself.” “May I ask, though, which laboratory did you inquire about earlier?”
She didn’t mind being fooled.
But when it came to someone like the headmaster, who had always been kind to her, she couldn’t just let it go.
“It was the Shen family’s laboratory.”
Nan Yan raised an eyebrow.
The Shen family…
Could it be Shen Junqing’s family?
The headmaster sighed, “The Shen family started out in biopharmaceuticals, and they have the most advanced laboratory you’re looking for. Yanyan, I’ll look for other laboratories for you. We might not have one in Jin City, but there should be one in Lin City.”
Nan Yan calmly said, “No need to trouble yourself. I’ll use the Shen family’s laboratory.”
The headmaster was taken aback.
Did he hear correctly?
Hadn’t the Shen family refused to let her use the laboratory?
Nan Yan didn’t explain to him and simply called Shen Junqing.
“Third Brother, I need to use your family’s laboratory. Can you arrange that for
Shen Junqing was still in bed, and he answered the phone in a drowsy state.
However, when he heard Nan Yan’s voice, he instantly became alert.
After hearing her request, he gave a wicked smile, “Laboratory? Sure, not only can I arrange it for you, but I can also give it to you as a gift.”
He didn’t involve himself in family matters and had rarely inquired about the family’s businesses. But what she wanted, he would naturally obtain for her. “Yanyan, when do you want to use it? I’ll go pick you up.”
“Today, you don’t have to pick me up. I’m near the laboratory. Help me get permission.”
“You’re already there?” Shen Junqing asked.
Shen Junqing quickly figured out what was happening.
He got up from the bed, still on the phone, and casually removed his pajamas, revealing his well-built and muscular body in the dim light.
“You wait there, Yanyan. Third Brother will be there shortly..”
