Chapter 148: You Confessed?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hearing his mother’s “teasing”, Nan Zhe was angry but did not dare to say anything.

“Your mother has been through this before. Back then, your father and I were in a free relationship. I’m sure I can help give you a tip or two.”

Mrs. Nan acted as though she would not let him leave without telling her the truth. Nan Zhe had no choice but to tell the truth. After hearing this, Mrs. Nan felt a little strange.

“So, do you like her or not?”

“I don’t know.”

“…” Mrs. Nan choked. She thought about it carefully and said, “Then you probably like her, right? You’re so attentive to her, right?”

Nan Zhe argued, “Shouldn’t all brothers be like this?”

“But I don’t see you being so concerned about Yuan Chi and Yu Yu.” Mrs. Nan could not help but undermine him.

Nan Zhe did not say anything.

Mrs. Nan stared at him for a few seconds before she slowly reacted and came to a realization. “Do you know that you like her, but you’re too embarrassed to admit it because she doesn’t like you?”

Nan Zhe, ‘

As expected of his biological mother, she hit the nail on the head.

Seeing his expression, Mrs. Nan knew that she had guessed correctly.

Thinking that there were still people who did not like Nan Zhe, Mrs. Nan really wanted to laugh.

She knew very well how narcissistic her son was usually. There were many good girls around him who looked like fairies, but none of them caught his eye.

Tsk tsk, it was all retribution.

She was gloating over Nan Zhe’s misfortune.

If not for Nan Zhe’s fragile pride, she would have laughed out loud.

“Ahem.” Mrs. Nan stopped and asked seriously, “Does that girl have someone she likes?”

“Yes, but I’m not sure about now.”

“Oh. Did she express clearly that she doesn’t like you?”

“Yes, she did.”

Mrs. Nan was stunned. “You confessed?”

..Then why are you so sure that she doesn’t like you?”

“I’ve asked about the criteria for choosing a partner. 60% doesn’t match. Of course, if our family plans to settle down in the north in the future, I might have a 50% chance of winning.”

Mrs. Nan, …

After Nan Zhe finished speaking, he looked up at Mrs. Nan. There was a hint of pleading in his indifferent eyes.

However, in Mrs. Nan’s opinion, this was no different than blackmail.

For example, if Nan Zhe died alone in his next life and could not fall in love and get married, she and Nan Zhengning could only blame themselves for not moving to the north.

Oh god.

Mrs. Nan touched her chin. She really did not expect that her entire family had to migrate so her son could get the girl.

Was it so hard to get a girl these days?

After thinking about it again and again, Mrs. Nan asked carefully, “It’s not impossible to move to the north, but it might be a little troublesome to go too far. Why don’t we compromise?”

This was originally a joke. Nan Zhe did not expect his mother to really think about this problem seriously.

“No need. I was just joking.” Nan Zhe smiled and instantly felt much better.

‘Why didn’t you get it? Can’t you tell that I’m joking?”

“No.” Mother Nan did not think it was very funny. She waved her hand and said very seriously, “I think if the only problem that stands between you is geography, it’s not a big problem. It’s not impossible to overcome.”

“But are you sure that’s the only problem?” The smile on Nan Zhe’s face froze.

“Son, I’m not trying to discourage you.”

Mrs. Nan sighed and raised her hand to hold his hand. She patted it gently. “I hope you can tell that girl about your feelings first.”

“If the problem is just about geography, we can completely try to solve it and you can date with a peace of mind. However, if the problem is that the other party doesn’t like you, then there’s no need for us to worry about the previous problems.”

“Although this is a little cruel, don’t be so sad until you figure out what the problem is.”

“You’ve been proud since you were young. I don’t want to see you like this either.”

“Besides, let me tell you the truth. If that girl likes you too, the previous problems will be solved. To put it bluntly, those rules are for those whom she doesn’t like.”

“If she likes you too, those standards and requirements she mentioned before don’t matter. Even if you don’t meet any of them, it won’t affect the two of you from now on. Because you’ll be her only standard.”

“You’re so smart. You should understand.”

“The current problem is not her rules and regulations. You’ve been putting on airs and don’t dare to speak first.”

“You’re always waiting for the other party to break the ice and take initiative.

This can’t go on.”

As a mother, she knew her son’s character.

“Your family and friends know that you’re arrogant and stubborn. They can accommodate you usually and understand what you mean. However, you’ve been separated from that girl for so many years…”

“Moreover, according to what you said, when the other party left back then, it was for family reasons. If such a situation happened to a girl, it would more or less change her personality.”

“You can’t expect her to maintain her straightforward personality after experiencing so much, right?”

“Besides, many girls are sensitive and inferior when it comes to relationships. In addition, the environment you grew up in is very different. Therefore, when she’s not very sure of your feelings, even if she likes you, she won’t dare to reveal anything to you first.”

“If you want to continue being friends with her and be her so-called good brother, then it’s fine. You can continue saving your stupid pride, but you’re not satisfied with such a relationship and distance.”

“You’re a boy and you like her so much. Will it kill you to ask first?”

Nan Zhe, ‘

As it was too late to go back to school at this time, Auntie Wang suggested that Nan Ge stay at the old residence for the night and get Shen Yanqing to send her back to school tomorrow.

Nan Ge calculated the distance and could only agree.

The Shen family’s old residence was indeed a little far from Huai University.

Hearing that she agreed to stay, Auntie Wang happily brought the servants upstairs to help her tidy up the guest room.

Mr. Shen suddenly took a call and left.

For a moment, only Nan Ge and Shen Yanqing were left in the living room.

Without the elders around, Nan Ge revealed her true colors. She leaned on Shen Yanqing’s shoulder and heaved a sigh of relief.

Shen Yanqing lowered his eyes and touched her cheek sympathetically. “Why are you nervous again?”

“I’ve always been nervous, okay?!” Nan Ge reached out her hand to show him.

“My palms were sweating when I was eating. Look, look!” Shen Yanqing chuckled and wiped her hand with a handkerchief.

“Why didn’t you speak up for me?” Nan Ge looked at him reproachfully.

“I wish. It’s mainly because you performed too well and didn’t give me much of a chance.”
