Nan Yan turned around and said obediently, “Brother, my grandfather wants to see you.”
“Alright.”
Qin Lu stood tall and elegant, with an exceptional demeanor. Even if he had no intention to exude it, his presence was formidable as he stood by Old Master An’s sickbed.
Old Master An inwardly took a sharp breath.
This young man was definitely no ordinary person!
A man like him, how could he be someone like Nan Yan could come into contact with!
“This gentleman…”
Qin Lu interrupted gently, “Old Master, my name is Qin Lu. If you don’t mind, you can call me by my name directly.”
Old Master An’s expression subtly changed.
Nan Yan’s relationship with him seemed to surpass his expectations!
Nan Yan glanced at the surprise in Old Master An’s eyes and said, “Grandfather, you don’t need to be formal with Brother. My brother’s grandmother is also familiar with me, and she calls me Yan Yan. You don’t need to be too distant with him.”
This statement left Old Master An at a loss.
They had even met the grandparents?
But Nan Yan was only eighteen and still in high school!
Wasn’t this too early?
Old Master An’s mind was a mess now.
How couldn’t he see that a man like Qin Lu wouldn’t casually become a ‘brother’ to a young girl like Nan Yan.
Could it be that he truly had such thoughts about his own granddaughter?
But the gap between Nan Yan and him, wasn’t it too vast?
How were they compatible!
Honestly, Old Master An hadn’t considered letting Nan Yan get into relationships this early.
She was still so young, just a child; her current priority should be focusing on her studies.
Old Master An hesitated in silence for a while, finally nodding, “Well…” “This old man will use his seniority and call you Ah Lu).”
Qin Lu’s appearance and tone were quite different from usual, mild and approachable. “Just call me whatever suits you.”
His manners were impeccable. Even though he was usually in a high position and appeared strong and cold, he managed to suppress that imposing aura, instead exuding an air of grace and elegance.
Old Master An’s initially uneasy emotions gradually relaxed. “How long have you known each other?”
“For about a month.”
Nan Yan’s eyebrows twitched.
Time passed so quickly.
In the blink of an eye, she and Qin Lu had known each other for this long.
And the progress of their relationship seemed to be moving a bit too fast.
She had never imagined that she could become so close with a man…
Old Master An politely suggested, “During this time, Nan Yan has caused you some trouble. In the future, when Nan Yan comes back to the ancestral home, if you have time, you can also come to visit.” Qin Lu nodded indifferently, “Alright.”
Saying that, he casually glanced at Nan Yan.
Nan Yan found his gaze a bit mysterious and couldn’t quite understand its meaning.
Old Master An had Tian Yi help him sit up, then looked at Nan Yan with kindness in his eyes as he said, “Nan Yan, would you mind going to buy some fruits for me?”
Nan Yan looked at him and smirked, “Sure, what does Grandfather like to eat?” He wanted to separate her so he could talk to the big shot Qin alone.
Old Master An didn’t avoid her gaze either and chuckled, “Any fruit you buy, I’ll like.”
“Alright, then I’ll go pick something myself.”
As Nan Yan walked out of the hospital room, she saw four imposing figures standing by the door.
“Fourth Brother, why are you still here?”
In Nan Yan’s eyes, she only saw An Xiran.
Being addressed by Nan Yan, An Xiran suddenly felt taller and more impressive. He smiled gently and said, “Nan Yan, Fourth Brother is waiting for you.”
“Waiting for me?” Nan Yan raised an eyebrow, “Do you have something to talk to me about?”
“It just so happens, I’m going to buy some fruits for Grandfather. Why don’t you come with me?”
“Sure.” An Xiran decisively agreed. Then, the siblings, under the gaze of the other three An brothers, headed straight for the elevator and left for the nearby mall.
The three ignored brothers had varying expressions, feeling somewhat speechless.
An Siting was surprised, “When did Fourth Brother and Nan Yan become so close?”
An Mulin explained, “It’s been only a month since Nan Yan moved out of the house. They’ve become closer during this time…”
“Nan Yan moved out of the house?” An Zhici frowned, “She’s just a girl. Why is she not living at home? What’s the point of moving out?”
“Um…” An Mulin hesitated and explained, “It was because Mom was too excessive before. She and Muyao would display their mother-daughter affection in front of Nan Yan every day, while treating Nan Yan very poorly. Nan Yan probably no longer expects anything from relationships and intends to distance herself from the An family…”
Seeing the current situation, An Mulin somewhat regretted not treating Nan Yan better initially.
However, now that he wanted to make amends, Nan Yan was completely indifferent and didn’t even have a trace of good feelings left for him…
An Zhici thought for a while, then lowered his voice, “We can discuss this after we return. Mom was indeed in the wrong, but Nan Yan is still a member of the An family. She can’t keep living outside.”
“She’s already compensated for the grievances she suffered. What else can she be unhappy about?”
An Siting agreed, “Big Brother is right. It’s true that the An family treated her unfairly before, but we can make up for it in the future. What’s there for her not to be willing about?”
Considering the recent events, they still hoped that Nan Yan would come back to the An family.
If they were to compensate her for what they owed, what had happened, and ensure her future well-being.
An Mulin looked at the confident expressions of An Zhici and An Siting and didn’t express his thoughts.
But based on his past experiences of being slapped by Nan Yan, he felt that these two were thinking too easily.
Nan Yan’s temperament was as stubborn as if she had changed into a different person overnight. The extent of her ruthlessness was intense. Once she had made up her mind to cut ties, it wasn’t just with the An family.
It was with them…
Currently, Nan Yan only acknowledged her relationship with the An family’s grandfather and Fourth Brother…
Inside the hospital room, Qin Lu sat by Old Master An’s bedside.
Old Master An observed him quietly.
The more he looked, the more uncertain he became.
Eventually, he couldn’t help but ask, “I wonder, Mr. Qin, what is the relationship between you and the Qin Family in the Imperial Capital?”
“That’s my family.” Qin Lu’s expression was calm as he replied to Old Master
An’s somewhat estranged tone, pretending not to understand his implication.
“Then are you… Little President Qin?”
The youngest person in power in the Qin family!
Old Master An had long heard of the deeds and reputation of the newly-established leader of the Qin Family. He never thought that this young magnate, from the legends, would be sitting before him at this moment.
What he hadn’t anticipated was that his granddaughter’s relationship with this man would turn out to be so good…
“That’s me.” Qin Lu’s voice remained warm and gentle, “Old Master, Nan Yan is not here. If you want to ask anything, feel free.”
Old Master An paused for a few seconds, calming his emotions.
“What’s the nature of your relationship with Nan Yan?”
Qin Lu answered gracefully, “At the moment, we’re good friends, like brother and sister. As for the future, who knows….
