Chapter 163: Then Let’s Get Married

Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but Qi Yan seemed to really feel the strong heartbeat under her palm through the cold wind.

The vibration of their hearts resonated for a moment.

As if she had been burned by his body temperature, Qi Yan suddenly retracted her hand and looked up at the man in front of her in horror.

Her hand, which was hidden in her pocket, was still trembling. She had yet to recover from the shock.

Nan Zhe took in all her reactions and understood.

Normally, he would not push his luck. Even if he wanted to corner her, he would pity her and give her a chance to breathe. But now, he refused. As if on purpose, he gave the other party another strong dose.

“Although I don’t like what you said, I understand.”

Qi Yan was stunned. “That means we…”

“I’m not done yet.” She was happy too soon and Nan Zhe wanted to make it clear. “I understand, but it’s not enough for me to let go.”

“If you don’t like it, I might be able to grit my teeth and let you off. But since you have feelings for me, why should we leave any regrets?”

“I’m right in front of you, and so are you. Why should we waste time?”

“Brother Nan, have you ever thought about it? Your persistence now might only be because my previous words hit you. You’re just unwilling to accept it now, and you don’t like me to the extent that it has to be me.” Qi Yan regained her senses and heaved a sigh of relief.

It was normal for Nan Zhe to feel indignant after being rejected.

His pride would never allow others to easily shatter it.

Hearing this, Nan Zhe frowned. “Is this your first day knowing me?”

“Qi Yan, ask yourself honestly. Since ten years ago, have I lowered my head more than once in front of you?”

“You said that there’s a gap between us. You said that you want to catch up with me. Then why do we have to separate? Will my being with you affect you? Or do you really like me?”

Qi Yan opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

“I didn’t want a result today, but since you’re so stubborn, you will choose one out of two.”

“Try being with me. I will be here for you. I’m a living person, not a decoration.

It’s not to the extent that I can’t protect you.”

“Qi Yan, if you like to hear other people’s opinions, why don’t you come and listen to mine?”

“In my eyes, you’ve always been good.”

“Let’s give it a try.” He took a step forward and grabbed her hand. His eyes were filled with love.

Qi Yan could even feel that Nan Zhe was very nervous at this moment.

It was as if he had mustered all his courage and was almost pleading.

The strings in her heart were fiercely plucked, and she struggled on the spot inwardly.

After a long while, she swallowed with difficulty and said seriously, “Didn’t you say I had two choices? Then, what’s the other choice?”

Nan Zhe pressed the tip of his tongue against his molars. He was so angry that his liver hurt. He cursed softly. “You certainly have the guts to ask.” Qi Yan looked away guiltily and muttered, “You said so yourself. Can’t I ask?”

“Alright.” Nan Zhe suppressed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

“Then let’s get married.”

“?!!” Qi Yan turned around and widened her eyes.

Of course, Nan Zhe was just saying this casually.

She was unwilling to agree to dating, let alone get married.

“It’s up to you if you don’t want to make it public. You don’t have to worry about my family. It’s not as complicated as you think.”

“At the end of the day, don’t you just want to make a name for yourself first? I won’t disturb your work or interfere with anything. Just go forward without worry. I’ll stand here with you.”

The next morning, at the Nan family’s old residence.

Nan Ge did not dare to wake up too late since she was staying here. When the alarm rang, she quickly washed up and went downstairs.

She thought that she would be the first to come down at this time. Unexpectedly, when she arrived in the living room, she saw her brother sitting there drinking coffee and pretending to hold the newspaper this morning. “Morning.” Hearing footsteps, Nan Zhe turned around and looked at her. His tone was gentle.

“…Morning.”

Nan Ge walked to sit opposite him suspiciously.

“Brother, you’re up so early too.”

A certain someone replied lightly, “No, I didn’t sleep the entire night.”

Nan Ge almost choked on her water. “Didn’t you rest last night? Didn’t you go back to your room very early?” “Can’t I have trouble sleeping?”

“Oh.”

Nan Ge was skeptical.

She held the glass of water and pretended to drink it while carefully observing Nan Zhe.

Although he said that he did not sleep the entire night, why did he look so energetic? Did this look like insomnia?

He was dressed so formally early in the morning and still had the time to read the newspaper.

Hmmm. This was abnormal.

However, Nan Ge did not dare to ask. After all, her brother had been in a lot of mood swings recently, and his mental state was a mystery.

Who knew what was wrong with him today?

Nan Zhe’s brain was abnormal today. Nan Ge was not alone. It was publicly acknowledged by the rest of the Nan family.

When Second Brother and Third Brother went downstairs groggily, they did not see Nan Zhe in the living room.

When he passed by Nan Zhe, Third Brother accidentally stepped on his foot.

If it were in the past, Nan Zhe would have already slapped him and scolded him.

But today was different.

When Third Brother realized that he had stepped on Nan Zhe, he stood rooted to the ground as if he was frozen.

However, the expected “touch of love” did not come. Nan Zhe only frowned slightly. Then, he calmly took the newspaper and casually brushed it on his shoes before saying, “Watch where you’re going.”

With this sentence, not to mention Third Brother, even Second Brother, who had just sat down, woke up.

Nan Ge held a glass of water and looked at Second Brother. She then exchanged glances with the weak and helpless Third Brother.

Without a doubt, the three of them were dumbfounded.

Seeing that Third Brother did not move, Nan Zhe patted his arm with the newspaper. “Go stand at the side. You’re blocking the light.”

“Oh, oh, oh, okay!” Third Brother walked to his left in fear and trepidation. He stood upright as if he was being punished.

Nan Zhe raised his eyes and looked up at him in confusion. “Why aren’t you sitting down? You look like a bodyguard.”

“Didn’t you ask me to stand?”

.. Then why don’t you kill yourself whenever I tell you to do it?” Nan Zhe slapped him with the newspaper. “Get lost!”

“Alright!”

This time, the reaction felt far more familiar!

After being hit hard, Third Brother finally dared to sit down.

“Ahem.” Second Brother raised his hand to cover his face and asked Nan Ge softly, “Why did Eldest Brother come down so early in the morning?”

They could not compare to the eldest grandson in the generation. Naturally, they would get nagged if they slept in. Moreover, today was a very important date. They did not dare to neglect it.

But why did Nan Zhe come down so early?
