Chapter 189 - 189: Qin Shiyu Is About to Explode!
Is this really her big brother?
Qin Shiyu felt like she was about to explode!
As her big brother’s own little sister, she didn’t even receive this treatment!
“I’m going upstairs to take a shower.”
After drinking her water, Nan Yan returned the glass to Qin Lu and headed upstairs to shower and change without glancing at Qin Shiyu, leaving her alone with her curiosity.
Once Nan Yan was upstairs, Qin Shiyu couldn’t contain her excitement any longer. She bounced over to Qin Lu, her eyes wide with curiosity, and asked, “Big brother, what’s your relationship with her?”
Qin Lu cast a nonchalant glance at her, noticing the eager and gossipy look in her eyes. He replied calmly, “She’s a little girl I want to spoil.”
Qin Shiyu.
Was she not his own sister?
All her excitement had been for nothing. She had thought her big brother, who was like an iron tree, had finally bloomed. But it turned out he was just spoiling someone else like a sister…
Qin Shiyu pouted, looking at him somewhat resentfully. “Big brother, can’t you spoil me too? After all, we share the same blood.”
“You’re different.
Qin Lu looked at Qin Shiyu, his tone composed. “From the moment you were born, you received all the love and care in the world, living a life of luxury without any suffering. Her past is filled with oppression and pain, something that makes one’s heart ache.”
He suspected that what he had found was only part of her story. The little girl’s background was shrouded in mystery, and she must have had some special experiences in the countryside with the Nan family to possess her current abilities.
But none of that changed the fact that he cared about her deeply.
Qin Shiyu blinked and asked, “Is Nan Yan’s background really that pitiable?” “But she looks outstanding and has a great temperament! ”
Could a girl who had suffered so much in her childhood shine so brightly now? However, if she had a strong mind, she could indeed transform her life and become outstanding even in the face of adversity.
Qin Shiyu believed that Nan Yan was that kind of person.
Qin Lu chuckled softly. “She was already outstanding to begin with.”
Qin Shiyu widened her eyes. “Big brother, you’re actually smiling!”
What a rare and precious sight!
After speaking, she added, “I promise I’ll treat her well in the future!”
Since she was a girl her big brother wanted to spoil and had such a pitiable past, she would treat her like a sister and share the good things with her!
Unaware of Qin Shiyu’s intentions, Nan Yan was upstairs taking a shower, and within moments of her shower, Qin Shiyu burst into her room.
“Yanyan, from now on, you’re my little sister! I’m your big sister, and I’ll take care of you!”
Nan Yan:
She was a little puzzled as she glanced at Qin Lu, who was sitting on the couch reading a book. She silently asked, “What’s going on?”
She had only taken a shower, and Qin Shiyu’s transformation had been so sudden.
Qin Lu received Nan Yan’s questioning look, put down his book, and said in a low voice, “Qin Shiyu, attention.”
Qin Shiyu immediately let go of Nan Yan, stood up straight, and said, pouting, “Big brother, now that I’m a big sister, please don’t scold me like you scold a
child!”
“You’re too enthusiastic, and it might scare Yanyan.”
Nan Yan: …
There was no need to treat her so cautiously.
Though she did find it rather inexplicable.
Qin Shiyu hummed in dissatisfaction and pulled Nan Yan to the side to talk.
When Old Madam Qin woke up and came downstairs, she saw Qin Shiyu intimately talking to Nan Yan, her face filled with smiles. Nan Yan, while appearing somewhat indifferent, was still patiently responding.
The two of them seemed to get along harmoniously.
As for Qin Lu, he had gone to the company due to some work.
“Grandmother.”
Qin Shiyu heard footsteps and immediately sat up straight, appearing more dignified. As mentioned before, Old Madam Qin was like the patriarch of the
Qin family, and almost everyone, except Qin Lu, feared her.
This included Qin Shiyu.
“Shiyu, you’re back. How was your study in Europe?” Old Madam Qin nodded and asked.
“It was great, Grandmother. I learned a lot during my time there,” Qin Shiyu replied with a smile. “As a member of the Qin family, I believe we should work harder than ordinary people to live up to our surname.”
Qin Shiyu sat up straight with a firm posture, fully concentrated.
Old Madam Qin nodded in satisfaction. “That’s right. As a member of the Qin family, you should strive to excel and live up to your name.”
Qin Shiyu stood tall, her determination evident as she said, “I understand, Grandmother. I will definitely not let you down.”
“Good.”
Old Madam Qin nodded approvingly. She then turned her gaze to Nan Yan, and her expression instantly softened. She wore a warm smile as she asked, “Yanyan, did you sleep well last night?”
Qin Shiyu.
She was about to explode again!!
Why was Grandmother so kind to Nan Yan as well?
Qin Shiyu had no idea about Old Madam Qin’s previous attempts to secretly sneak to Jin City to see Nan Yan.
If she did, she would probably be shocked to her core.
“Quite well,” Nan Yan replied calmly. “Grandmother, I need to go out for a while later.”
Cheng Yanzhao had invited her to meet. She guessed it had something to do with Old Master Cheng’s health.
She had turned down his invitation when he first asked because of her busy schedule, but now that she had some free time, she agreed to meet him.
Old Madam Qin nodded and said kindly, “Alright, have the driver take you. It’ll be more convenient.”
“But you must come back for dinner in the evening. If you don’t, Grandmother won’t eat!” She issued this blatant threat, ensuring Nan Yan would return for dinner.
Nan Yan reluctantly agreed, “I understand. I’ll definitely be back for dinner.”
“Yanyan, where are you going? Shall I accompany you?”
Qin Shiyu wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Nan Yan.
However, Nan Yan declined, “It’s a private matter and not suitable for company.”
Qin Shiyu looked embarrassed for a moment and then pretended to be calm. “Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean anything by it. I thought you might want to go out and needed a guide…”
Nan Yan looked at Qin Shiyu’s vexed expression and fell silent for a while, “I have something to do today, but if you’re free tomorrow, you can take me around.”
“Of course!” Qin Shiyu nodded vigorously. “I have a day off tomorrow, so I can accompany you. ”
“Alright, it’s a plan then. I have to go now. We’ll see each other in the evening.”
“Okay!”
As Nan Yan left the Qin residence, she felt somewhat agitated.
People were genuinely nice to her, and she couldn’t help but feel burdened by their kindness.
She took a deep breath to calm herself, pulled out her phone, and sent a message to Cheng Yanzhao.
Cheng Yanzhao replied within seconds: [Okay, I’ll be waiting for you at the Cheng residence.]
After a brief pause, he sent another message: [Miss Nan, do you know Mr. He
Zhizhou?]
Nan Yan: [Yes, I do. Why?]
Cheng Yanzhao: [Nothing in particular. Mr. He is here too. I heard that he’s a bit excited about your visit.]
Nan Yan: [Oh.]
A while back, after Mr. He had recovered from his illness, he had been discharged from the Jin City Hospital and returned to the capital. At that time, he had invited Nan Yan to visit him in the capital, but she had been too busy to accept.
Now, it seemed that he might mention how she had distanced herself from him again when they met.
Nan Yan closed her chat window and opened her Weibo.
She saw a trending topic that immediately made her expression darken….
