After sending Lin Nuan to her apartment building, Liu Mingchen exited the car to send Lin Nuan up the stairs. Embarrassment still evident in his face and his ears were slightly red. He glanced briefly at Tang Zheng who was making a call in the car and said, "Nuan Nuan, I'm not trying to rush you or force you. I know there are a lot of people wooing you, so I want to know if you dislike me and if you mind that I'm pursuing you?" I don't want to cause you any trouble."
Liu Mingchen spoke sincerely like a gentleman, coupled with some anxiety. Even if he was unwilling to show it, his eyes still betrayed him.
Tang Zheng was still in the car so Lin Nuan didn't want to talk about it at the moment.
"We'll talk about it next time…"
Hearing Lin Nuan's words, Liu Mingchen clearly misunderstood. Next time, that meant that they could have another date.
Liu Mingchen took Lin Nuan's words as a lady's shyness and his eyes were full of happiness as he nodded and said, "Okay, we'll talk about it the next time we meet."
When their gazes met, Liu Mingchen's heart beat quickly. Feeling anxious about looking into Lin Nuan's eyes but not wanting to show cowardice, he could only say, "Your friend is still in the car, so I'll send him over first."
Lin Nuan looked towards the inside of the car and Tang Zheng waved at her with his phone in hand and smiling.
Lin Nuan's brows furrowed and she looked away.
Earlier on when he went in the car, Tang Zheng used the excuse that it was inconvenient for Lin Nuan to sit on the passenger's seat carrying a huge bouquet of flowers, so he made Lin Nuan sit in the back, not taking himself as a stranger at all.
"If it's troublesome, just drop him off somewhere where it's easy to get a cab. I'm not very familiar with him."
Lin Nuan meant every word of it. She hadn't forgotten how Tang Zheng had made things difficult for her during the meal last time with that mouth of his, and she had definitely not forgotten how Tang Zheng had desperately prevented her from leaving Fu Huai'an's house at his gate, making her feel awkward.
"It's not troublesome. I'll have to go to the lab and the Kai De Organization's building is just on the way."
Lin Nuan nodded, "That's good, then, I'll go up first…"
…
Lin Nuan entered the door with a huge bouquet of flowers and was just changing her shoes at the entryway when Song Yao appeared and paused in shock, asking, "Didn't you go out to eat with your parents? How did this huge bouquet come out from a meal?"
Hearing Song Yao's words, Bai Xiaonian who was brushing her teeth in the bathroom peeked her head out, quickly walking towards the entryway and ignoring her mouth full of foam.
It was really a large bouquet of flowers.
Bai Xiaonian and Song Yao were not people who had never seen flowers. Beauties never lack followers, and they had seen a lot of flowers, particularly Song Yao… Being a celebrity, if Song Yao said she liked roses, the flowers sent by her fans would be enough to drown Lin Nuan's two-room flat.
"Lollipops?" Bai Xiaonian reached out one hand to take one lollipop out as her other hand gripped her toothbrush, her words barely coherent as she spoke with a mouth full of foam.
"Did Fu Huai'an give you this?" Song Yao asked.
Lin Nuan removed her jacket and hung up her bag as she replied, "No…"
After going to the kitchen to get some water, Lin Nuan came out and finally relayed to them what happened.
Bai Xiaonian paused and said, "Why do I find the name Liu Mingchen so familiar?"
Song Yao dug out her phone and checked it, her eyes widening at the results.
Bai Xiaonian held Song Yao's shoulders as she leaned over and a look of surprise came to her face too as she read out, "The winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine? So young? Your parents introduced such an impressive person for you?"
Upon hearing these words, Lin Nuan closed her bottle of water and leaned over too.
The photographs showed Liu Mingchen doing experiments with a serious face, wearing a white coat and glasses. His clean and fair face looked good and his whole person exuded a charming and extraordinary aura.
