“You can decide for yourself.”
Qin Lu unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt in frustration.
Nan Yan’s pupils suddenly shrank.
What’s with the sudden unbuttoning?
Seeing the sexy collarbone that appeared in front of her, Nan Yan forcefully turned her gaze away and silently recited a calming mantra twice to prevent her nose from bleeding again.
Qin Lu stood up. “I have something to do. Don’t stay up too late. Rest early.”
Nan Yan nodded in agreement.
Once he left, Nan Yan felt a bit more relaxed.
She touched under her nose and found no red blood. She completely relaxed.
Since there was still some time before she could sleep, she opened her laptop again and messaged Bai Yiqi.
Nan Yan: [Any tasks left? Send me a few.]
Bai Yiqi: [!!!]
Bai Yiqi: [Of course! Lord Y, you’re my savior!]
He felt that ever since Lord Y appeared, not only he, but even the other people in the company had time off.
How is this human!
This was clearly a living Bodhisattva who saves suffering and helps the needy!
He gathered a pile of accumulated tasks that no one in the company was willing to take and sent them to her directly.
Nan Yan glanced at them and replied, [You’ll have them before dawn today.]
Bai Yiqi: [Boss, please join us!]
Nan Yan: [Be good, no thanks.]
Bai Yiqi: [Whining… Then I’ll ask again next time.]
After ending the call, Bai Yiqi stood with his hands on his hips and laughed to the sky. With Lord Y on his side, the world was his!
While he was laughing madly, a sudden phone call interrupted him.
“Cough… Cough…’
Bai Yiqi stopped too abruptly, causing himself to choke on his saliva. After coughing a few times, he finally picked up his phone and answered the call.
“Young Master, have you been too diligent lately? Sir asked me to ask you about the sudden 5% increase in task completion rate in the department.”
Bai Yiqi proudly stood with his hands on his hips. “Hehe, it’s not that I’m diligent. It’s that I hired a big shot who’s too diligent!”
“Let me tell you, this big shot is amazing. I gave her all the piled-up tasks in the department, no matter how many, she can complete and send them back to me in one night. I almost want to worship her!”
“What ‘big shot’? Young master, have you checked her identity? What if he’s a spy sent by another research institute?” The assistant’s tone grew slightly anxious.
“Bullshit.” Bai Yiqi snorted coldly. “Let me tell you, with the capabilities of this big shot, infiltrating the research institute would be like child’s play. There’s absolutely no need for such troublesome methods.”
“If she were really a spy, she wouldn’t have refused when I invited her to join.” “Do you know how hard it is to invite her? I ask her every day, and she still won’t agree…”
It’s a bit melancholic, really…
The assistant on the other end also thought about it. However, this matter needed to be reported to Sir as soon as possible.
Monday.
Nan Yan had breakfast with Old Madam Qin but didn’t see Qin Lu.
“Yan Yan, when you come back from school today, would you like to accompany Grandma to eat at a street stall?”
Old Madam Qin took advantage of her own advantages and held Nan Yan’s hand, acting cute. “I’ve heard people say that street stalls are delicious, but no one wants to accompany me. Will you accompany Grandma?”
Nan Yan couldn’t stand it when the elderly acted cute towards her. Looking at Old Madam Qin’s expectant expression, she nodded. “Okay.” Eating at a street stall wouldn’t take long, and after they finished, they could also pick up her luggage from the hotel.
“Grandma knows that Yan Yan is the best!”
After the meal, Nan Yan carried her bag downstairs.
She thought she would have to take a taxi to school today, but as soon as she stepped out of the hotel gate, she saw Qin Lu’s car parked downstairs.
When Wu Yue saw her come out, he quickly lowered the car window and greeted with a smug smile. “Miss Nan, we’re here! Get in the car quickly!”
Nan Yan:
Didn’t they already leave?
Why is he waiting for her downstairs?
They didn’t even have breakfast together, and he had been waiting for her in the car for so long?
Although she grumbled in her heart, Nan Yan still went over.
She opened the car door and got in, looking at the overly cold features of the man, she obediently called him “Brother.”
Qin Lu didn’t look at her and responded indifferently. Then he gave an instruction, “Wu Yue, drive.”
Throughout the journey, neither of them spoke.
Wu Yue felt that something was off.
Although it was usually quiet and peaceful in the car, the atmosphere seemed different today.
No matter how Wu Yue felt that something was wrong, Nan Yan also felt that the atmosphere in the car was inexplicably heavy today.
It seemed like the big shot was in a bad mood?
Nan Yan pinched her eyebrow and shifted a bit towards the car door, putting a little more distance between them.
Qin Lu noticed her movement, and his mood became even more indifferent.
Was she really that afraid of him?
Qin Lu restrained his aura and closed the folder that was placed on his lap. He casually glanced at the obedient little girl.
She lowered her head, wearing earphones with a white wire that connected to her phone. The anti-peeping screen protector on her phone prevented others from snooping.
Sitting quietly near the car door, she seemed to have no presence at all. Qin Lu remained silent for a while, then spoke in a low voice, “Little one.”
“Hmm?” Nan Yan raised her head in confusion.
She wasn’t listening to music in her earphones.
Wearing earphones was just a way to indicate that she didn’t want to engage in conversation.
But the car was so quiet, and Qin Lu’s voice was so penetrating that she could hear it clearlv even with the earDhones on.
Instinctively, she responded without thinking.
By the time she realized she could pretend not to hear, it was too late.
In that moment of confusion, her ear felt a chill.
His hand took off the earphones she had in her left ear.
His fair fingertips lightly touched the delicate earphones as he said in a calm tone, “If you ever get bullied, remember to contact Brother.”
“Brother’s phone will always be on for you.”
Nan Yan’s heart trembled, her eyes filled with astonishment and shock.
She thought that once she left the hotel and moved back to her own house, their agreement would be over.
But now…
She knew she shouldn’t be overthinking.
But she couldn’t control it, and a strange feeling emerged in her heart.
Qin Lu quietly watched her. Nan Yan was stunned for a moment before she found her voice and softly replied, “Thank you, Brother…”
“You don’t have to be so polite with me.”
“Okay…”
Until they got off the car, Nan Yan’s mood remained unsettled.
She had never experienced such emotions before.
Before her rebirth, all her time was spent on learning various skills and seeking revenge.
She was accustomed to being independent and strong, relying on her own efforts to obtain what she wanted.
But this was the first time someone told her that she could rely on him…
She could tell that Qin Lu’s words were not a joke. He was making a serious promise.
Because of that, she was momentarily touched.
Being cared for and looked after for the first time made her feel uneasy yet inexplicably elated…
Gradually suppressing her emotions, Nan Yan calmly walked into Class 4.
“Nan Yan, the headmaster wants you to go to the office….”
