Chapter 76 - I am not a canary

Another week passed in the blink of an eye.

Nanqiao mowed the flowers and plants in the garden for a while, put down his tools, then stood up. Housekeeper Zhang stood at the side and handed over the brewed tea.

"Young madam, you should rest for a while."

"Yes." His fingers caressed the porcelain cup that was decorated with a plain white and blue birthmark, and he lightly sipped a mouthful of tea. He turned his head and smiled at Housekeeper Zhang, "Recently, your tea ceremony has improved by quite a bit."

After being praised, Housekeeper Zhang scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. There were some wrinkles on his face, but when Nan Qiao saw the white hair on his temples, she was slightly stunned: "How long has Housekeeper Zhang been working in the Nan Family?"

Housekeeper Zhang twirled his fingers, hesitating: "It's probably been thirty years. I've been living in the Nan family since I was just a little over twenty, but I watched young master Yu grow up."

Seeing that Yu Cen Ran had grown up, South Bridge became interested. He half squatted and moved the chair closer, asking, "Then do you know if Yu Cen Ran used to like painting?"

"Young Master Yu's talent in painting is indeed high, but as far as I know, what he likes the most is architecture and the like. He seems to like designing buildings very much, and even won an international prize before!"

Old mister Nan was right, Yuwen Ran wasn't in the business world. Noticing that Housekeeper Zhang was still by his side, South Bridge restrained his expression and asked: "Then what happened next?"

"After that, the old master fell ill and the company was in a precarious situation. Young Master Yu could only come back to help and was forced to give up the opportunity to study further."

When Housekeeper Zhang mentioned this matter, he kept shaking his head and sighing. The bystanders all felt that it was a pity. Nanqiao thought to herself that Yu Cen Ran would also feel that it was a pity when she came here to meditate.

South Bridge sat on one side, the white chair was wrapped with bone-colored fake vines, and it had the style of a summer garden. Unfortunately, as South Bridge looked around, winter was about to arrive, and it seemed like the beautiful scenery of the garden wouldn't last much longer.

It was always like this. The flowers rarely bloomed, and the scenery rarely existed.

After feeling sad for a while, South Bridge opened his eyes, but Housekeeper Zhang was still standing on the side. His mouth was twitching as if he wanted to say something, but then he hesitated.

Housekeeper Zhang's body trembled, he really couldn't hide anything from his mistress. "There's been a rumour from the company recently that it's a female subordinate of Young Master Yu. It seems like …"

South Bridge knew what he was afraid of. A servant should not be able to talk about things, especially about masters, but South Bridge also knew that he was doing it for his own good since South Bridge did not pay attention to Housekeeper Zhang.

His hand lightly patted the back of Housekeeper Zhang's hand, and he smiled gently: "I understand, thank you."

On Sunday, Nanqiao was lounging on the sofa, wearing a housecoat and twining a wisp of her hair with her slender fingers.

Recently, Yu Cen Ran had been busy working when they got home. She didn't go to the study to disturb Yu Cen Ran as she closed her eyes and rested her delicate ankle on the sofa.

Just when the South Bridge was so upset that it was hard to know what to do, it suddenly heard a noise. Suddenly, it opened its eyes, and in its line of sight, there was actually a despicable little head drooping down.

The South Bridge instantly had a sudden impulse. "Little slut, come here."

The south bridge called out to the little slut. The little slut pricked up his ears and quickly ran to the front of the south bridge. He raised his head to look at the south bridge, his tail continuously swaying behind him.

South Bridge reached out his hands to hold the little slut in his arms and ravaged him. Very quickly, the little slut's long fur became messy. "What, your master ignored you?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Nanqiao curled her lips and smiled. Right, it seemed that Yu Cen Ran had never treated this dog with much respect before. However, what Nanqiao didn't know was that Yu Cen Ran was doing this because of her.

"What a pity." It was unknown if he was talking about the dog or himself.

The little slut was not happy, wailing in pain before he broke free from South Bridge's embrace and ran away. South Bridge reached for the dog food beside him, and shook it vigorously in front of the little slut.

Quickly, the little slut surrendered and walked over to the south bridge. The south bridge took out some dog food from the bag and placed it in his palm. He said to the little slut, "You slut, roll out."

Sure enough, the little slut quickly rolled on the ground, then quickly stood up and looked longingly at the south bridge. The south bridge took out a piece of dog food from its palm and put it into the little slut's mouth.

After playing around for a while, Nanqiao laid on the sofa, feeling extremely bored. However, Yu Cen Ran suddenly appeared at the stairs. Seeing the appearance of Nanqiao, she smirked. "It seems like it's going to get mouldy."

The sound was so abrupt that the South Bridge jumped up in fright, and the trembling of its body scared the little slut as well. The little slut ran far away, and without the support of his power, the South Bridge almost fell off the sofa.

Sitting steadily, Yu Cen Ran sat beside the South Bridge. "Where's Zhan Xin? I won't ask her to accompany you for a stroll. Shopping and tea is always better than being alone, right?"

Nanqiao secretly rolled his eyes and curled his lips. "Boring. How boring. I'm not going!"

Yu Cen abruptly let go of the black mass that suddenly appeared in front of her, and it landed on the back of her hands. The hair on the back of her hand moved, and it took her a while to realize that it was a toy spider.

Nanqiao gave a heavy punch, "Yu Cen Ran, you're all bored!"

Yu Cen Ran lowered her head and inched closer, her eyes full of ridicule, "I think you're the one who's bored and wants to play with you. Why, are you angry?"

In fact, Yu Cen Ran had been looking at the South Bridge for a while now and had already gotten the look of boredom in his eyes. He was helpless as he put down the notebook and folder in his hands and walked down to talk to South Bridge.

Nanqiao ignored him and pushed Yu Cen Ran away sulkily. Yu Cen Ran came closer and asked in a low voice, "Are you angry?"

Seeing this, Yu Cen Ran didn't dare to provoke him anymore. He turned on his computer to continue working on the documents in his hands. After glancing at the documents for a while, he felt envious and hesitant. "Yu Cen Ran, how about I go out to work as well?"

Yu Cen Ran didn't even raise her head as she calmly replied, "Reason."

The reason for that? South Bridge played with his fingers and said, "The biggest benefit of working here is that you can earn money. No one can go against money, right?"

Yu Cen Ran's hands froze as his gaze turned cold. He said coldly, "Do you think that I, Yu Cen Ran, am not capable of raising my own woman? Or do you think that the Yu family's wealth is not enough for you?"

"Yu Cen Ran!" Nanqiao was also angry, cursing, "How can you say that! In your eyes, am I that kind of woman!?"

Realizing that he had gone overboard with his words, Yu Cen Ran pursed her lips and made a gesture of surrender, not saying another word. However, South Bridge had been completely provoked, and she said angrily, "Anyway, I have to go to work. Yu Cen Ran, listen carefully. I don't want you to raise me. I'm not a canary either."

Yu Cen Ran's face was gloomy as his gaze fell onto South Bridge. After a while, he said, "Uh, you want to be a new woman that can be independent in the modern era right? Sure, come work at my company."

Yu Cen Ran looked at the computer as he tapped it with his long fingers. "My company mainly does venture capital. Coincidentally, it's the perfect match for the finance major that you are studying abroad."

To Yu Cen Ran's company, to the Yu Family Group? Nanqiao frowned. Who wouldn't know her identity then? Furthermore, according to Yu Cen Ran's way of doing things, how could he hide his identity from her?

"No, I'm not going. I don't want to be a contact."

Yu Cen Ran turned his head, stared at the South Bridge and laughed, "You don't want to go through the back door? "Alright, I'd really like to see the true strength of my wife."

"What little wife!" The South Bridge turned red from the address and ignored Yu Cen Ran. He stood up and walked up the building.

"Go where." A deep, magnetic voice came from behind.

Nanqiao turned around and angrily said, "Prepare my strength!"

Yu Cen Ran's sneer completely angered Nan Qiao. He turned around and stomped up the stairs. Nan Qiao slammed the door. A doting smile appeared on his face as Yu Cen Ran raised her eyes to look at him.

In the room.

Nanqiao furiously laid on the bed. There was a laptop in front of her, and she dared to look down on her strength? The flames in Nanqiao were born in her heart, and she thought that at least she was one of the top students in the school.

Originally, he was looking for a job when he returned home. However, after encountering Yu Cen Ran and his imprisonment, as well as after so many unforeseen events, he realized that he hadn't really done a resume yet.

"Resume" Nanqiao muttered: "What is the highlight of the resume?"

Nanqiao suddenly thought that if he could make a venture capital estimate for Yu Cen Ran's company, he would have a high chance of winning.

As he thought of this, Nanqiao quickly typed on his computer, racked his brains and looked up a lot of information. Only then did he complete the plan and send it to Yu Cen Ran's company with his resume.

When his eyes fell on the words "sent mail", South Bridge looked at the crystal clock on the bedside table. It was already eleven-thirty, and South Bridge couldn't hold back the sleepiness anymore, falling asleep on the bed.

Yu Cen Ran finished showering and pushed open the door. With a slight frown, she walked over and helped South Bridge correct his unsightly sleeping posture and pinched the corner of his blanket.

The computer on the bed was not switched on. With a light tap, the screen lit up. Yu Cen Ran glanced at it and used her index finger to scratch the bridge of the South Bridge. She smiled and said, "Idiot."

The next morning.

The south bridge was in a daze, but the phone on the headboard suddenly rang. The south bridge suddenly woke up from its sleep and reached for the phone. Someone had actually set an alarm clock, but it was 7: 30.

She inserted her hand into her soft hair, but there was still a lump of paste in her head. Her biological clock was not this early, so she didn't have the energy to do anything. She went to the bathroom and washed her face as if in a trance, then went downstairs.

By the time they reached the south bridge, Yu Cen Ran had finished washing up and was sitting at the dining table, reading a newspaper. The morning light shone through the French window at his back and onto his body.
