Chapter 214: Giving a Gift to Another Man and Still Asking Him!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the evening, two cars appeared at the entrance of Zhide High School.
When Nan Yan finished school, she faced a dilemma.
Shen Junqing stood ostentatiously in front of his equally ostentatious sports car, waving at her. “Sis, come here.”
Qin Lu was inside the car, and though he didn’t speak, his gaze implied that Nan Yan should go over there.
So, which car should she get into?
Nan Yan stood in place, feeling a bit annoyed.
Why do these two brothers always give her such challenges…
Seeing that she didn’t understand and was standing still, Shen Junqing walked over to her.
With a smiling gaze and a hint of indulgence in his peach blossom eyes, he said gently, “Yanyan, I’ve booked a restaurant, a luxurious seafood feast.”
“We haven’t had a meal together in a long time. Today is Third Brother’s birthday. How about accompanying me for a meal?”
Nan Yan glanced at Qin Lu and then got into Shen Junqing’s car.
Shen Junqing threw a flirtatious look in Qin Lu’s direction before getting into the car smoothly.
In front of Qin Lu, he revved the sports car and sped away.
Qin Lu’s expression darkened.
Just as he was about to call Nan Yan, a message arrived on his phone.
Nan Yan: [Brother, it’s Third Brother’s birthday today, and I’m accompanying him for dinner. Can you pick up Jiang Nai for me?]
Qin Lu:
Not only did she go with someone else, but she also asked him to pick up another girl…
Did she have no feelings for him at all?
Qin Lu felt like he had no experience at all in pursuing a girlfriend.
It seemed like he needed to adjust his strategy so that the little one wouldn’t keep treating him like a brother.
Qin Lu didn’t personally pick up Jiang Nai.
He called Wu Yue and asked him to do it.
Then, he turned his car around and went to the old mansion, preparing to wait for something to happen.
In the sports car.
“Third Brother, why didn’t you tell me in advance that today is your birthday?”
There weren’t many people who could make her care, and Shen Junqing was definitely one of them.
If she had known it was his birthday, she would have definitely prepared a gift for him.
“For me, my birthday is not much different from any other day,” Shen
Tunaing’s tone was casual. “At most. I’ll invite some friends to eat and drink.” Shen Junqing’s eyes had a hint of gloom, and even his emotions seemed affected.
“But this year, I don’t want to see them. I just want to have a quiet dinner with you.”
The first sentence was a lie to Nan Yan.
On his previous birthdays, most of the time, he would get himself drunk and sleep for a whole day in his apartment. On this day, he didn’t want to see anyone.
Not even Grandpa Shen.
This time, he had someone he wanted to see, but unfortunately, he arrived a step too late, letting another man beat him to it.
He buried his feelings for her deep in his heart and would never reveal them to her.
He did it for his own selfishness, so that Nan Yan could accompany him for this evening.
Nan Yan glanced at him.
Her keen intuition told her that Shen Junqing was not in a good mood.
Although he was trying to hide it, he couldn’t deceive her.
He had a story.
She had guessed it from the first time she saw him.
But everyone had their own privacy, and if he didn’t want to talk about it, she wouldn’t pry.
“After we finish eating, I’ll go pick a gift for you,” Nan Yan said.
Shen Junqing’s eyes shimmered with seriousness. “No need, Yanyan. Just having dinner with you is the best gift.”
“Eating is eating, and a gift is a gift. There’s no reason not to give a gift on your birthday. ”
This was also the first time Nan Yan had ever celebrated someone’s birthday, so she wasn’t sure what to do.
After some thought, she sent a message to Qin Lu for help.
[Brother, what kind of gifts do men generally like?]
Qin Lu saw the message and didn’t know whether to be angry or not.
Giving gifts to another man and still asking him!
Qin Lu pinched his brow.
She didn’t ask anyone else, she specifically came to him. Did that mean she considered him special?
After some self-consolation, Qin Lu replied: [A watch, maybe.]
A straightforward answer.
Among the top 10 gifts for men, watches had always ranked in the top three.
Nan Yan: [Thank you, Brother.]
Qin Lu: [You’re welcome.]
He felt a little bitter inside.
The little one had never given him a gift before.
The first time she did, it was for Shen Junqing.
After learning what gift to buy from Qin Lu, Nan Yan put her phone away. After enjoying a seafood feast, the two of them returned to the parking lot.
“You sit in the passenger seat.”
“What’s wrong?”
Nan Yan said earnestly, “You’ve been drinking, so you can’t drive.” Shen Junqing smiled. “Just two glasses of wine, I’m not drunk.”
“Even a sip of alcohol means you can’t drive. Get in.”
“Alright.”
Shen Junqing obediently moved to the passenger seat.
He had driven after drinking many times before.
Anyway, he had good driving skills, and no one in Jin City dared to stop him.
But he didn’t expect Nan Yan to be so strict.
However, this strict demeanor was quite cute!
Nan Yan sat in the driver’s seat, fastened her seatbelt, and then supervised Shen Junqing to buckle up before driving to the mall.
Shen Junqing leaned lazily in his seat, his body leaning to the side, his seductive peach blossom eyes smiling at her. “Yanyan, where are you taking Third Brother?”
His heart and eyes were all on her.
No matter how beautiful the neon lights outside were, they couldn’t compare to the girl in front of him, not even one in a million.
“I’m buying you a gift.’
His smile deepened, and he said, “What gift do you want to buy for Third Brother?”
“A watch.” Nan Yan paused for a second. “Do you like it?”
Shen Junqing smiled softly. “As long as it’s from you, Yanyan, I’ll like it.” He would treasure it and keep it well.
With a confirmation like that, a hint of a smile played at the corner of Nan Yan’s lips.
She was worried that he wouldn’t like it.
When they arrived at the mall, Nan Yan took him straight to the shops that sold world-famous watches.
“Could you help me choose a watch that suits him?” Nan Yan said to the salesperson, adding, “The more expensive, the better.”
After all, it was a birthday gift for someone she cared about. It wouldn’t be appropriate if it was too cheap.
Shen Junging smiled and asked, “Are you willing to spend so much money on Third Brother?”
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows. “Money can be earned again. It’s Third Brother’s first birthday gift, so we must take it seriously.”
Shen Junqing happily agreed, “In that case, Third Brother won’t be polite.”
“Alright, no need to be polite.”
He had helped her so much, and she hadn’t been polite to him either.
The shop assistant displayed several watches while the two of them were chatting.
Moreover, they specifically picked the expensive ones.
“Sir, would you like to try on one and see which one you prefer?” the shop assistant asked.
Shen Junqing had a good temperament, a great physique, and good skin. He effortlessly pulled off various styles of watches.
“Yanyan, how about this one?” he asked.
“It’s fine,” Nan Yan replied. “What about this one?” “It’s also good.”
“How about this one?”
“They all look good on you when you wear them,” Nan Yan genuinely commented.
She wasn’t just being polite; she genuinely thought they all looked good.
Mainly because the model himself looked great.
“Alright, let’s go with this one,” Shen Junqing decided, not minding Nan Yan’s straightforward responses. He picked a style he thought was nice from the watches he had tried on.
The shop assistant swiftly wrapped it up.
After some thought, Nan Yan picked another watch and handed it over. “Please wrap this one up as well…”
