Chapter 50 - 50: Brother, I’m Cramping…
The scene momentarily froze.
Especially when Qin Lu’s gaze turned towards her.
Nan Yan inexplicably felt like she had been caught doing something naughty.
Shen Junqing, standing behind her and yet to notice the presence of another person in the room, was merrily joking with Nan Yan:
“Yan Yan, if you need money, just tell me. I don’t have much else, but I have a lot of money
Nan Yan looked at Qin Lu’s intimidating face and quickly kicked Shen Junqing, whispering, “Brother, shut up.”
The man sitting on the sofa heard the term “brother” and a hint of coldness appeared in the depths of his eyes.
What an unscrupulous little brat.
As if having him as a brother wasn’t enough, she even found other brothers… Originally, it was a trivial matter, but Qin Lu couldn’t help but feel a sense of annoyance.
Shen Junqing hissed and instinctively asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
Without hesitation, Nan Yan turned around and pushed him towards the exit, saying in a hushed voice, “It’s getting late today, it’s not convenient for you to come in. You should go back.”
Shen Junqing:
What’s going on?
He had already come in, why was he being sent out again?
Qin Lu put down his laptop, stretched his long legs, stood up, and walked towards them. “Yanyan, it’s impolite not to let guest in.”
Only then did Shen Junqing realize that there was a third person in the room.
And this person was…
Oh my god…
He wouldn’t really be so crazy as to have something going on with this little girl, would he?
He’s such a beast!
Sensing the imposing aura emanating from the man, Nan Yan hurriedly explained, “Brother, it’s already half-past nine now.”
She was punctual.
After the competition, she hurried back, afraid that he would use her returning late against her.
Although they didn’t have much of a relationship, for some reason, she was wary of him.
And she knew he cared about her, so she didn’t want to behave inappropriately.
“Well, good, I know you’re punctual.” Qin Lu looked at her chubby cheeks and playfully poked them with his fair fingertips. “Do you want me to give you an award, little one?”
Nan Yan:
What nonsense!
Qin Lu’s smile carried a touch of coldness as he looked at Shen Junqing. “Thank you, Young Master Shen, for bringing Yanyan back. It’s getting late, so I won’t keep you any longer.”
Shen Junqing stroked his chin and squinted his charming peach blossom eyes. “It was just a small favor, no need to be polite. Young Master Qin, do you have time? Why don’t we grab a drink?”
He wanted to gossip a little.
“Sure.” Qin Lu nodded and turned to Nan Yan, his voice soft. “Little one, rest early. ”
Nan Yan froze for a second. “Oh…
Shen Junqing and Qin Lu left, and the room suddenly became much quieter, the atmosphere returning to normal.
As for what the two men were talking about, it had nothing to do with her. Nan Yan carefreely went to take a bath.
After bathing, she remembered that there was still a lychee-flavored lollipop inside her jacket. She slipped on her slippers and hurriedly went to get it.
Peeling off the wrapper and putting it in her mouth, she sat on the sofa with her own laptop, waiting for Qin Lu to come back.
His laptop was still with her, and he would probably come back to get it later.
A bar outside the Lantis Hotel.
Qin Lu and Shen Junqing sat in a private booth, with five or six opened bottles of liquor in front of each of them.
Qin Lu took the initiative to pour himself and Shen Junqing a full glass of alcohol.
Raising his glass, he casually spoke, “Young Master Shen, Yanyan and you are not on the same path. I hope you stay away from her world.”
“Who says we’re not on the same path?” Shen Junqing disagreed with Qin Lu’s statement. “Yanyan and I have a lot in common.”
– Racing and making money.
He still wanted to find an opportunity to have a race with Nan Yan.
It was rare to encounter a worthy opponent like her and such a cute little girl. To make him draw a clear line between them…
That was impossible.
Shen Junqing held his glass, clinked it with Qin Lu’s, supported his head with one hand, and smiled, “Young Master Qin, Yanyan is willing and very happy to play with me.
“Don’t worry, I only have a brotherly affection for her. It’s a good thing to have a caring brother for such a cute little sister.”
Shen Junqing silently mocked Qin Lu in his heart:
Who would have thought that this seemingly decent person would actually lay his hands on even such a young girl!
What a beast!
Qin Lu’s gaze slightly darkened. “Third Young Master Shen, my little friend doesn’t lack brothers.”
“If you have an overflow of love, go find some girls who lack love, let your love overflow, and warm them. Don’t come and provoke her.”
Shen Junqing had a bad reputation, spending his days in entertainment venues, changing women as often as he changed clothes.
Qin Lu didn’t want Nan Yan to get too close to him.
He was afraid that she was too young to distinguish between good and bad and would suffer.
Gracefully taking a sip of his drink, Shen Junqing curiously asked, “Qin Shao, did Yanyan really agree to be with you?”
“Are you sure you’re in a romantic relationship?”
“It’s none of your business.”
“How could it not be? I plan to treat Yanyan as my younger sister. If you two aren’t together yet, I’ll definitely advise my sister to be rational and not fall into a pit of fire.”
Qin Lu was speechless.
The topic momentarily stalled.
After finishing the five bottles of liquor in front of them, the two of them went their separate ways.
The time ticked to eleven o’clock.
Nan Yan rubbed her forehead, closed her laptop, and prepared to go to sleep.
She estimated that Qin Lu might come to retrieve his laptop tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow was the weekend, and although she didn’t have to wake up early, she planned to go and see the house.
It had been several days already, so the procedures should be almost done.
Staying in a hotel all the time was inconvenient, so she wanted to move as soon as possible.
Moving the laptop from her lap, she stretched lazily. Unexpectedly, she exerted too much force and ended up with a cramp.
Qin Lu used his spare room key to enter and planned to retrieve his laptop before leaving.
However, when he saw Nan Yan leaning against the sofa, her arm stretched backward as if doing yoga, displaying an astonishing level of flexibility.
But her expression seemed somewhat pained?
“Yanyan, what’s wrong?”
“Brother…
I’m cramping…”
Nan Yan couldn’t help but mock the original owner for having such a fragile body.
She got a cramp just from stretching lazily…
She really needed to exercise more.
Qin Lu strode over, his hand supporting her shoulder, wanting to help her up.
But as soon as he moved, Nan Yan cried out in pain again.
He didn’t dare to move further and furrowed his eyebrows. “Where does it hurt?”
“On the right side, the whole half of my body hurts…”
The cramp lasted too long, and she couldn’t even discern where the pain was exactly.
Everything just hurt.
“Endure it for a moment.
Qin Lu’s warm hand gently pressed against Nan Yan’s lower back.
Through the thin layer of her sleepwear, he softly massaged the meridian along her back.
He had been drinking, so his body temperature was slightly higher than usual. His breath was somewhat warm, mingled with a rich scent of alcohol.
This action brought Nan Yan very close to him, facing his mesmerizing gaze head-on, which made her feel flustered, unable to handle it.
When she slightly lowered her gaze, she could see his sexy Adam’s apple and the two unbuttoned buttons, revealing a glimpse of fair skin.
Her back was pressed against his hand, and her whole body was enveloped in his presence.
Oh my god, she felt like she was going crazy….
