Chapter 49 - 49 I Like Her, Very Much

49 I Like Her, Very Much

“…”

When Nan Ge heard this, her head buzzed.

A suspicious blush appeared on her face. When she snapped out of her daze, she quickly broke free from his hand.

“What the hell?”

!!

“Stop talking nonsense!”

“Do you know that you’re spreading rumors?! You have to bear legal responsibility!”

“Pfft!” Nan Zhe was so angry that he wanted to hit her. Nan Ge reacted quickly this time and punched him back.

Nan Zhe widened his eyes and pointed at her for a long time, unable to say anything.

“Well done! You’re frustrated, aren’t you? I’ve hit the nail on the head!”

Nan Ge choked. “…You’re slandering me. You’re the one who’s frustrated. I was defending myself!”

“Hehehehehe.” Nan Zhe sneered. “You just got together with that old man, but you can already beat up your dear older brother for him.”

“Then when you get married, won’t you have to slap your brother twice at the wedding to liven things up?”

Nan Ge was speechless. What was going on?

Was there any connection between the two? Certainly not!

Did someone dig out her brother’s brain again?

“How many times have I told you? I’m not with Shen Yanqing.”

Nan Zhe shouted at her, “Then why are your ears red now?!”

Nan Ge shouted back even louder, “Didn’t you grab it just now?!”

“…”

Nan Zhe was rarely at a loss for words.

However, in the next moment, his gaze swept across Nan Ge’s flushed face. He stomped his feet. “Then why are you blushing? Did I slap you just now?”

“…” Nan Ge opened her mouth and choked.

“Heh, I caught you, Nan Ge!”

“You’re still denying it!”

Nan Zhe still looked a little smug.

Nan Ge could not defend herself for a moment. She thought for a moment and finally gave up resisting. She made a zipping gesture with her lips.

Fine. She would shut up.

“You must be feeling guilty.” Nan Zhe crossed his arms and gritted his teeth. “I knew from the beginning.”

Nan Ge rolled her eyes and could not help but unzip her lips again. As she punched him, she said, “I just don’t want to talk to you!”

“This is the first time I’ve ever tried reasoning with someone unreasonable!”

“No wait. Nan Zhe, are you a pig?”

“Stop quibbling. Do you dare to say that you didn’t watch the concert with him on New Year’s Eve?”

“He has already posted it on his WeChat Moments to publicize it. Do you think your brother is stupid?!”

“My backyard is on fire but I only realized it when my bed got burned! I was the last to know. Did it have to be you, Nan Ge?”

“If you have to die, then make it snappy!” Nan Ge interrupted promptly. “What do you mean by publicizing WeChat Moments?”

“Didn’t that old man post a selfie of you on his Moments? You even liked it!”

“Do you really think I won’t know? Hmph. Did you think I wouldn’t know better?”

Nan Ge’s train of thought was good, but her rhythm was instantly disrupted by his words.

She lowered her head and thought carefully for a long time before she understood.

“Are you talking about the concert photo? What’s wrong with posting it?” She was puzzled. “My ticket was stolen that day. Coincidentally, Huasheng Group was the sponsor of that concert, so he happened to bring me in.”

“Also, didn’t you ask me to take a photo? It was hard to get a good photo, so I could only ask him to help me. In the end, we naturally took a photo together.”

Her brother gave her a sidelong look as if she was still trying to lie. “Do you think I’ll believe you?”

“…”

“He has already posted it on his WeChat Moments. Isn’t that clear enough?”

“No.” Nan Ge was about to go bald from arguing. She explained earnestly, “After I posted on WeChat, he hesitated and wanted to post it too.”

“He asked for my opinion before posting it, so I said okay.”

First of all, it was indeed worth posting on WeChat that day. They were at a concert and it was New Year’s Eve.

Moreover, Shen Yanqing did not take any selfies at that time. He only took a photo with her.

Therefore, she felt that it was fine to post it.

He did not post it secretly. He had confirmed it with her again and again before doing it.

“Shen Yanqing is such a cultured person. He’s not as bad as you think.”

Nan Ge spread her hands, speechless.

Nan Zhe retorted, “Who are you trying to call bad?”

“Who are you calling uncultured? Who are you calling uneducated?!”

...

“…”

Wasn’t it obvious? He had already guessed it.

——

After returning home, Nan Zhe would act up from time to time.

It was not until the next night that Nan Ge realized that he had been looking at his phone while eating. He was indescribably serious.

The irritating husky seemed a little quiet today.

Nan Ge did not think that this was a good thing.

People said that nothing good would come out of a husky being so quiet and obedient.

Who knew what he was planning in his heart?

“Why are you always looking at your phone? Why aren’t you eating properly?”

Mrs. Nan knocked on his hand and reprimanded, “If you don’t want to eat, go eat with the dog.”

...

“…”

Nan Zhe replied, “I’m looking at the project schedule. Stop interrupting me.”

Mrs. Nan did not believe him. She rolled her eyes and urged him to eat quickly.

Nan Zhe had just picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth when a new message came in from the phone in his hand.

There were only two simple messages in the dialog box.

[I’m Nan Ge’s older brother.]

Shen: [This is Shen Yanqing. Hello.]

Seeing that the other party had finally replied, Nan Zhe bit his chopsticks fiercely and typed: [I heard that you’ve been very close to my sister recently.]

At the same time, in Huai City.

Looking at the message from the other party, Shen Yanqing frowned slightly.

With just this line of words, he could tell that the other party did not come with good intentions.

Seeing him suddenly get up, the people at the table suddenly fell silent.

His father was stunned and thought that he had said something wrong. “Yanqing, what’s wrong?”

“I have to reply to a message. You guys eat first.” Shen Yanqing was still gentle and polite as he smiled at the elders present.

When his gaze swept past his stepmother, he nodded slightly and left.

After he disappeared around the corner, his father coughed lightly. “It must be work again. Let’s eat.”

“By the way, Yanqing will be 29 years old after the New Year, right? Isn’t it time for him to think about marriage?”

“Yes, yes. If he finds a girlfriend now, he can get married in a year or two. He’ll be in his early thirties.”

“We can’t delay any longer.”

“I think the youngest daughter of the Ruan family is not bad. She’s beautiful and knowledgeable. She just graduated this year and returned to the country. She works in the city hospital now as an internal medicine doctor. Isn’t that good?”

“Stay out of it.” Shen Yanqing’s father waved his hand. “He can make the decision himself. I won’t interfere.”

Since he had already said so, the other relatives could only shut up.

——

In the living room, Shen Yanqing sat on the sofa and replied: [We’ve known each other for a while, but we’re still just friends. Don’t worry.]

[Tsk, then it’s hard to say in the future. Do you have any feelings for my sister?]

Shen: [I should have told her this first. However, since you’re asking, I can tell you first.]

[Yes, I like her.]

[I like her very much.]
