Chapter 23

Back in the dormitory, Nan Ge borrowed her roommate’s phone and called her brother.

“Big Bro, boohoo. I lost my phone. I really lost it!”

“What should I do, Nan Zhe?”

“…”

Meanwhile, in England.

Nan Zhe had just gotten off the plane and had yet to leave the airport when he received a call from Nan Ge.

Listening to the wailing on the other side, Nan Zhe habitually moved the phone away from his ear. When the other side quietened down a little, he put the phone back to his ear.

“Are you done?”

“Uh huh.” Nan Ge stopped crying.

“If you lost it, go and find it. Do you have to call me for such a trivial matter? Nan Ge, are you a three-year-old child?”

“Then what should we do? Why don’t I get two tractors to help you push all the snow in the field?”

Unfortunately, her big brother made an unusual observation. “Can a tractor push snow?!”

“Erm… It can probably be modified.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Zhe took a deep breath and struggled to break free from her strange thought processes. “That’s not the point.”

“You can even lose your phone while playing with snow. I’m begging you. Can you bring your brain with you when you go out in the future?”

——

The plane landed steadily. Assistant Yuan turned off the tablet and followed the figure in front with Miaomiao.

“President Shen, are you really alright?”

“Why don’t we go to the hotel to rest first? You should be sleepy after taking the medicine.”

“No, thanks.”

When the man spoke, his voice was slightly hoarse.

Assistant Yuan looked at him worriedly. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

Shen Yanqing did not go to the office in the morning.

Even though he was not a workaholic, he always showed up for work punctually.

Usually, there was only one reason why he was late and it was sickness.

He did not live with his parents. Usually, only the maid would go over to clean the house regularly.

Under normal circumstances, Shen Yanqing was the only person at the apartment.

Hence, the staff began to call him one by one, but no one picked up.

Later on, he drove over to take a look and realized that Shen Yanqing was really sick. He had a severe cold and fever and was unconscious.

After following Shen Yanqing for so many years, the people in the president’s office all knew about Shen Yanqing’s health.

His resistance was average, like a weak scholar from ancient times.

He often caught colds. If the wind was slightly strong, he would have a fever. If he missed his meals, he would have gastric troubles. If he drank alcohol, he would get allergic reactions. He was also allergic to peaches along with pollen. In short, he was a very delicate man.

It was a huge contrast to his usual self.

His staff could not help but sigh in private. It was not easy for Shen Yanqing to survive until now.

He did not know how Shen Yanqing ended up like this, so he could only call the family doctor to give Shen Yanqing an IV.

At night, when Shen Yanqing had recovered a little, they boarded the plane and headed to England.

There was a tricky project here, and the other party kept delaying it. Shen Yanqing had to do it himself.

Probably because of the long journey, Shen Yanqing had a fever on the plane and had just taken his medicine.

Shen Yanqing tilted his head and coughed twice. He reached out to him and said, “Where’s my phone?”

“Oh, it’s here.” Assistant Yuan quickly handed it over.

Because he was not feeling well, Shen Yanqing had been resting along the way, although he did not sleep well.

Perhaps because he was still half-asleep, his face was a little pale. Even the lenses could not hide the fatigue between his brows. He had been frowning the entire time.

He turned on his phone, but she had not replied.

He carefully calculated the time difference. At this time, she should be having lunch.

Didn’t she see the phone? Or was she angry?

He resisted the dizziness and slowed down to press the audio button. [I’m sorry. I didn’t notice the text messages yesterday…]

A familiar voice not far away interrupted him.

“If you lost it, go and find it. Do you have to call me for such a trivial matter? Nan Ge, are you a three-year-old child?”

The word “Nan Ge” was like a magical switch.

In an instant, the group of people led by Shen Yanqing looked in the direction of the voice.

Nan Zhe had yet to realize that seven or eight people were watching him from not far behind. He was still focused on talking to Nan Ge on the phone.

“Forget it, I’ll go dig in the snow.” Nan Ge snorted, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Nan Zhe placed one hand on his waist and said helplessly, “Dig my ass. If you have the time, why don’t you dig for landmines?”

“I’ll transfer the money to you now. Go get a new one now and get a new SIM card.”

“I lost my phone. How are you going to transfer money to me?” She could not accept the WeChat transfer either.

Nan Zhe took a deep breath and roared, “Bank card. Use your bank card!”

“Oh, right.”

“Alright, that’s all.” After a pause, Nan Zhe could not help feeling worried and said, “Hang on.”

“Yes?” asked Nan Ge.

“Don’t go out alone. Call your roommates to accompany you. If you have any problems, you can borrow their phones and call me immediately.”

“I’ll transfer more money to you. At this hour of the day back in the country, you can eat with your roommates.”

“Don’t wander around after dinner. Go back and revise immediately. Do you understand?”

Nan Ge memorized everything. “Understood!”

“Also, take a taxi.”

“Okay!” Nan Ge was so grateful that tears streamed down her face. “Big Bro, you’re so nice. I love you!”

“Love my ass, I’m hanging up!”

——

After hanging up, Nan Zhe immediately transferred $20,000 to Nan Ge’s card.

After a few seconds, he checked the date. He wondered if his parents had given Nan Ge pocket money this month.

Afraid that she would starve to death, he transferred another $20,000.

Although it was true that she was annoying, she was his biological sister after all. He had to be good to her.

Nan Ge was a little silly, but she could not be blamed.

His mother had probably given him all the excellent genes when she gave birth to him, so when Nan Ge was born, there was nothing left for her.

After transferring the money, Nan Zhe put away his phone.

However, when he turned around, the smile on his face froze.

A few pairs of eyes were staring at him from behind. The person in the lead looked familiar…

However, he could not put his finger on it.

“Is something wrong?”

Nan Zhe narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows.

Shen Yanqing, who was sick, was a little slow. He came back to his senses and his eyelashes fluttered. He shook his head with a smile. “Nothing. I’m sorry.”

Assistant Yuan also smiled apologetically and said a few nice words.

Nan Zhe did not say anything.

Before he left, he sized up Shen Yanqing again.

Assistant Yuan waited for the person to disappear from his sight before asking, “President Shen, who is that? Does he know Nan Ge? His tone was so fierce…”

Judging from the other party’s words just now, he seemed to be very familiar with Nan Ge.

However, he was not sure if the man was referring to the same girl.

Shen Yanqing’s hands, which were in his pockets, curled up. His eyes flickered under the lenses. He thought about it seriously for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about how to explain the man’s status to Assistant Yuan.

Unfortunately, after thinking about it for a long time, he still said, “He’s Nan Ge’s boyfriend.”
