Chapter 158 - 158: Because I Want to See You, Little One…

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In recent times, Brother Qin had been coming to the old mansion by himself, while Wu Yue, who served as his driver and assistant, was nowhere to be seen.

That’s why Nan Yan had this idea.

Qin Lu responded matter-of-factly, “I hired him to help me solve problems and difficulties, after all.

The tone of his response pretty much admitted it.

Nan Yan looked at him thoughtfully, blinked her eyes, and suddenly asked, Big Brother coming to the old mansion every day because of me?”

Qin Lu:

What an unscrupulous little rascal.

Why else would he come to the An Family?

Qin Lu licked his slightly itchy canine tooth, gave her a sidelong glance, and with a slightly dangerous tone, asked, “What do you think?”

Nan Yan propped her chin up, “While I’m here with Grandpa, is there something you’re worried about…”

Qin Lu burst into laughter at her response. Seeing that she genuinely didn’t understand why he was coming to the An Family’s old mansion every day, he decisively hit the brakes and parked the car on the side of the road.

Turning around, he faced her directly, cupped her chin, and chuckled,

“Because, Big Brother wants to see you, little one…”

Unexplainable unease suddenly gripped Nan Yan’s heart. She slowly turned her face away, straightened her posture, and her voice quivered slightly, “Big Brother, you know, there’s a feature on phone called video chat…”

“Hell…”

Acting innocent, huh.

Qin Lu released her chin, restarted the car, and decided not to frighten her for now.

She was still young.

He didn’t want to startle her at the moment.

He could clarify things once she finished high school. For now, he allowed her to evade. But no matter how much she tried to escape later…

Afterwards, Nan Yan fell silent.

Her heart slowly settled down, but her mind couldn’t seem to control the recollection of his earlier words.

This can’t be happening…

Could it be that he actually has feelings for her?!

This thought made her feel an inexplicable sense of pressure…

Until they arrived at the First Hospital, inside the car, apart from their breathing, no one said a word.

Shen Junqing eagerly looked at the door, waiting for Nan Yan to bring him the meal.

When Nan Yan left a message for him before going out, he felt as though time was dragging on endlessly.

Time seemed to pass so slowly!

Finally, he heard a knocking sound at the door, and he quickly adjusted his position in bed.

But when the door opened, his “Yan Yan” was almost at his lips. However, he realized that the one entering was Qin Lu!

The smile on his face faded, and Shen Junqing asked with an expressionless face, “Why are you here?”

Qin Lu cast him a glance, ignored his question, and stepped aside to make way. He followed Nan Yan into the hospital room.

“Third Brother, Big Brother specifically came to see you upon hearing that you’re in the hospital.’

Nan Yan approached the table next to the bed and placed the lunchbox on it, opening it layer by layer.

The expression on Shen Junqing’s face changed slightly. With a hint of irony, he said, “He came here to gloat over my misfortune, right?”

Qin Lu raised an eyebrow and, standing beside Shen Junqing’s bed, looked down at him from a higher vantage point. His tone carried a hint of danger, “You’re right. Seeing you lying in bed, unable to move, does bring quite a bit of joy.”

Shen Junqing:

He knew it! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He wasn’t genuinely concerned about him!

“You’ve seen enough and had your laugh, now you can leave.”

Qin Lu’s eyebrow twitched, and then he addressed Nan Yan, “Yan Yan, we have delivered the food. Let’s go.” Shen Junqing:

What a shameless dog!

Observing the playful bickering between the two of them, Nan Yan pinched her brow, “Big Brother, Third Brother is injured. Can you cut him some slack?”

“Sure.”

Qin Lu gave Nan Yan face, refrained from provoking Shen Junqing further, and headed for the sofa.

Nan Yan placed the meal on the table beside the bed, and handed him the dishes one by one.

“Smells really good,” Shen Junqing exaggeratedly remarked, his words tinged with a hint of showing off, “Yan Yan is treating Third Brother very well.” He got to enjoy a meal prepared by Nan Yan herself, something that dog of a man couldn’t!

Qin Lu responded to his childish behavior with a cold smirk and then casually said, “Yan Yan, after he finishes eating, let’s head back quickly. Grandpa is probably still waiting for me to play chess with him.”

He had only brought a meal, but it was enough to make him feel this triumphant.

Shen Junqing:

The genuinely shameless dog!

Shen Junqing suddenly felt that the food in front of him was no longer appetizing.

But he couldn’t waste Nan Yan’s heartfelt effort. He mustered his spirits, determined to finish every bit of the meal.

While eating, he didn’t forget to grind his teeth and lecture Nan Yan, “Yan Yan, listen to Third Brother’s advice. When looking for a man, don’t just focus on looks; character matters the most!”

“Some people may seem presentable on the surface, but their true nature is worse than that of a dog.”

Nan Yan coolly looked at him, “Third Brother, can’t you keep quiet while eating?”

Ll 01 1-1 Roar–

He was infuriated!

His sister, this innocent little flower, had already been deceived by Qin Lu, that dog of a man!

Look at how her heart leaned towards him. She couldn’t even listen to advice.

Shen Junqing was so angry that he turned his anger into appetite. He ate heartily, resolutely finishing the food Nan Yan had brought.

Only after finishing did he feel overly full.

Nan Yan packed up the lunchbox, rinsed it with water, and planned to wash it at home later.

“Yanyan, are you coming tomorrow?” Shen Junqing, carefully rubbing his stomach, pitifully asked.

“I won’t come tomorrow. Let’s see if I’ll have time the day after tomorrow.”

“Alright…” Shen Junqing clenched his teeth, “But Yan Yan, if you have time, you must come to see Third Brother!”

“Sure…”

As they exited the hospital room, Nan Yan looked at Qin Lu’s somewhat indifferent expression and tugged on his sleeve.

“Big Brother.” “Yeah?” Qin Lu looked down at her and asked, “What’s wrong?” “Are you angry?”

“No.” Qin Lu calmly denied it, “Why would you think that?”

She pondered for a moment and then said, “Third Brother speaks quite childishly. Don’t be like him.”

Although, the person in front of her was occasionally a kid at heart too.

Did she really consider Shen Junqing as her family?

Qin Lu rubbed her head with some annoyance, “Heartless little one.”

Nan Yan found his accusation quite bewildering.

She didn’t think she lacked a conscience, okay!

“I’m not that petty.” Qin Lu let go of her small head, reached for her hand, and said, “Let’s go, time for dinner.”

“Oh…”

The two of them got off the elevator and headed directly to the underground garage.

The underground garage was quiet, with no one around at this time, only the sound of their footsteps echoed.

As they approached the car, Qin Lu suddenly changed his direction, walking with Nan Yan to the passenger side.

He opened the car door and let Nan Yan get in first, then he tossed the car keys to her.

“Yan Yan, lock the doors.”

Nan Yan paused for a moment, only then understanding his intentions behind those words.

In the underground garage, a noise was heard.

It was the sound of a metal pipe hitting the ground, being dragged.

Motion-activated lights were triggered, illuminating the area.

Over twenty men, armed with various weapons like police batons, steel pipes, and machetes, were approaching them.

Nan Yan’s gaze turned cold.

These must be the people the Yin Family sent to deal with her.

She couldn’t let Qin Lu face them alone.

If it was just barehanded combat, she wasn’t too worried about Qin Lu’s strength.

But these guys had weapons like batons, pipes, and knives. She directly pushed the car door and was about to get out….
