90 What Are You Waiting For? Get In
Around the time of the Lantern Festival, Nan Zhe’s restaurant got rather busy.
Nan Ge happened to be starting school in two days, so she came to Huai City in advance to help.
How could Nan Zhe not know what she was thinking?
He just couldn’t be bothered to expose her.
As expected, as soon as she arrived in Huai City, Nan Ge sent a message to Shen Yanqing.
[I’m back!!!]
[I’m helping out in the restaurant now.]
These three exclamation marks showed how excited she was.
Ever since she was caught on a date last time, Nan Ge had been locked at home for the past two days. She was about to suffocate to death.
Moreover, the two of them had just gotten together. How could a young couple in love accept a long-distance relationship?
Shen Yanqing did not reply in time. Guessing that he might be busy, Nan Ge did not continue to send messages to disturb him.
When the restaurant received an order, she quickly got to work and returned to her old job of delivering food.
By the time Shen Yanqing saw her message, it was almost two in the afternoon.
[Are you still in the restaurant?]
Nan Ge had just returned to the restaurant after delivering the last order when she received his message.
[Yes, I just finished delivering an order. Are you at the company?]
Shen: [No, I’m off today.]
To be precise, he had not gone to the company for the past two days.
After they separated that day, he could not resist it and was allergic to pollen. After they separated that day, his body could not take it, reacted to the pollen, and broke out from the allergy.
After a few seconds, he sent another message: [Are you off work now? I’ll pick you up.]
[I’m getting off work soon! You don’t have to pick me up. I have my own car!]
[Oh right, what do you want to eat? I’ll bring it over for you on the way.]
Shen Yanqing had not been feeling well for the past two days and had not eaten much. He did not have time to eat today.
At the thought that she was coming over, he placed an order. This way, Nan Ge could earn extra money.
Shen: [I’ve placed an order. Just bring it over.]
[Okay, okay.]
[I’ll be there in about forty minutes.]
Shen: [Okay. Be careful on the way and take care.]
——
20 minutes later, Nan Ge slowly left the restaurant with the takeout in one hand and the car keys in the other.
Seeing the familiar Lamborghini, the other employees in the restaurant could not help but gossip.
“What’s her relationship with our boss? She makes deliveries using a Lamborghini!”
“Hmmm. She’s probably his girlfriend. Didn’t they say that she’s a university student? Don’t rich people like having university students as girlfriends?”
“Probably. The last time I saw the boss come over, he drove off with her in this car.”
The manager had just finished taking stock of the goods in the storeroom. After he came out, he saw a few people leaning against the glass door and whispering. When he got closer, he realized that they were discussing Nan Ge and Nan Zhe.
He rolled his eyes and knocked on their heads with the notepad in his hand. “Are you very free?”
“Manager!”
They were about to run when they were stopped.
The manager glanced at them and felt that he had to explain.
Otherwise, if word got out, it would be difficult to explain in the future.
It was not good for a proper young lady to be discussed like this.
“The restaurant owner is called Nan Zhe. The girl delivering the food earlier is called Nan Ge. They share the same surname, okay? They’re biological siblings.”
“She’s just here to experience life to pass time. She won’t come any more after school starts. You’d better watch your mouth and stop spouting nonsense.”
“…”
——
On the other side.
Shen Yanqing took a shower and changed out of his pajamas. When he came out of the closet, he heard his phone ringing on the bed.
He thought it was Nan Ge, but when he walked closer, he realized that it was Assistant Yuan.
“President Shen, there was a problem with the project that we accepted with Cheng An International before the New Year. The project manager wanted to rush over today, but it just so happens that tomorrow is the birthday banquet of the chairman of Cheng An International. The invitation has already been sent over. Do you want to make your way there now?”
“It’s mainly because you weren’t able to attend the meeting we had when we discussed the project. You know what he’s like …”
The chairman of Cheng An International was a prideful man.
The last time Shen Yanqing did not attend the meeting, the other party’s expression darkened on the spot and their collaboration almost failed.
“Shall I ask Gao to send you to the airport now?”
“The last flight to Sijiu City today will be in two and a half hours.”
...
After a long silence, Shen Yanqing replied, “I understand.”
“You don’t have to pick me up. Go straight to the airport. I… will get there a little later.”
“Okay.” Assistant Yuan did not dare to ask further. After confirming it, he hung up.
Shen Yanqing glanced at the order information on the delivery software. It showed that Nan Ge would arrive in about ten minutes.
Taking advantage of this time, he dressed up and went downstairs to wait for her.
——
There was a little traffic on the road today. Nan Ge had used another route, so she arrived a little later than usual.
After entering the neighborhood, Nan Ge slowed down and slowly moved to Shen Yanqing’s building.
At the same time, in the garage, Shen Yanqing got out of the car helplessly.
Before the New Year, the other two cars had been sent for maintenance. The last one had probably not been driven for a long time. He did not know what went wrong, but he could not get it to start.
In the past year, he had relied on the driver to pick him up and drive him everywhere. The number of times he drove could be counted on one hand.
...
Just as he came out of the garage, he bumped into Nan Ge, who was about to go upstairs with the takeout.
“Hey. Why did you come down?” As if telepathic, Nan Ge turned around and saw him. She quickly walked over from the lobby.
As she approached, Nan Ge realized that he was dressed very formally and looked like he was going out.
“Are you going out?”
“Yes.” Shen Yanqing sighed and explained to her apologetically, “I have to go on a business trip at the last minute to Sijiu City. So I can’t accompany you for the next two days.”
“Oh.” It would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed, but Nan Ge had always been understanding and felt that it was not a big problem.
She shook her head and said with a smile, “It’s okay. School is starting soon, so I might be a little busy these two days as well. However, I’ll be in Huai City from now on. We’ll have plenty of time to spend together. It won’t be a problem for me to see you every day!”
“Okay.” Shen Yanqing smiled and patted her head. “I’ll bring you a gift when I come back.”
She handed the takeout over. “You can eat on the way. If you don’t eat, your stomach won’t feel good.”
“By the way, is Assistant Yuan coming to pick you up?” After looking around to confirm that Assistant Yuan and the others had not arrived, Nan Ge pushed him two steps to the side and said, “Why did you come down so early? It’s so cold outside.”
Shen Yanqing took her hand and squeezed it gently. “I originally planned to go to the airport myself, but now I do need them to make a detour to pick me up.”
“Why?”
“There’s a problem with the car.”
Shen Yanqing sounded helpless.
“You should have said so earlier. I have a car!”
“Let’s go. I’ll send you to the airport now! There’s still time!”
Shen Yanqing could only follow her, but he looked uneasy.
It took 40 minutes to drive from here to the airport. If he took Nan Ge’s electric scooter…
Hmmm. Could he make it in time?
Just as Shen Yanqing was thinking about how to turn down taking a ride in her electric scooter, Nan Ge took out a car key from her coat pocket and pressed it.
Not far away, the headlights of a three-million-dollar Lamborghini flashed gently.
“What are you waiting for? Get in the car!”
