Chapter 357 - 357: He Can ‘t Touch These Two Men
Upstairs.
Qin Lu, Shen Junqing, and Bai Chen were all sitting in the small meeting room.
However, because when they were together, they either teased each other or made sly comments, in order to avoid any conflicts when Nan Yan arrived, they all remained silent. They occupied themselves with their phones, computers, and laptops, engrossed in their individual tasks.
Footsteps could be heard from outside the room.
In the quiet meeting room, although the sound was faint, they all heard it.
Three pairs of eyes turned towards the door at the same time.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, there was a knock on the door.
Qin Lu smirked and, in a low, magnetic tone, called out, “Come in.”
His gorgeous and sexy baritone, enhanced by the spaciousness of the meeting room, became even more magnetic.
Shen Junqing and Bai Chen both rolled their eyes at him.
That flirtatious man!
Standing at the door, Nan Yan’s heart skipped a beat when she heard his voice.
She hadn’t seen him for a few days, and she found herself missing him a little…
Could it be that she really…
Nan Yan licked her lips, her eyes deepening with a touch of mystery.
Then, she calmly pushed open the door to the small meeting room and walked in.
Shen Junqing was seated closest to the door and stood up, taking a few large steps towards her. He playfully placed his hand on her shoulder and said, “Yanyan, you finally made it!”
He then blinked his captivating peach blossom eyes and asked with a smile,
“How did the exams go?”
Nan Yan raised an eyebrow confidently. “First in the grade, no doubt about it.” “Awesome! Yanyan, what gift do you want? Third Brother will get it for you!”
Last time, that flirty guy actually thought of giving her a gift for coming first in the exams, which had earned him some goodwill.
This time, he absolutely couldn’t fall behind.
Bai Chen also chimed in, “First in the grade, Little Yanyan, you’re amazing!” Nan Yan looked at him speechlessly.
The way he said it, with a strange tone, was far from a congratulations.
Clearly, he was making fun of her.
After all, getting first place in the grade during their sophomore year’s exams sounded quite ridiculous to those familiar with Bai Chen and his friends.
Qin Lu watched as Shen Junqing and Bai Chen both crowded around Nan Yan, his gaze turning somewhat gloomy.
His leg injury had left him confined to a wheelchair during this period, restricting his movements. He could only watch helplessly as other men tried to court his little friend.
And now, he couldn’t do anything about these two men either.
Qin Lu, who was known for getting what he wanted, was now also at a loss.
After Nan Yan exchanged a few words with the other two, she walked over to Qin Lu.
She crouched down slightly and placed her hand on his leg, asking, “How has your leg been feeling recently?”
As Nan Yan approached him, the gloom in his eyes had already dissipated. His deep gaze gazed tenderly at her as he softly replied, “It’s been okay.”
Nan Yan’s touch was gentle as she lightly pressed on his leg, moving from his calf to his thigh.
Qin Lu felt his blood heating up as her hand moved along his leg. To avoid any embarrassing reactions, he used all his self-control to remain calm.
Finally, that soft hand moved away from his leg.
He breathed a sigh of relief but couldn’t help feeling a sense of reluctance.
Nan Yan stood up straight and spoke casually, “Your recovery is progressing well. Continue with the medication, avoid putting too much pressure on it during this time, and in another half month, you should be able to start walking again.”
“Alright.” Qin Lu, while feeling his restless heartbeat, managed to keep a calm expression on his face.
The group of people sat in the meeting room and discussed some everyday matters.
Nan Yan had been speaking in a calm tone all along, but suddenly, she sounded a bit serious. She looked at Qin Lu and asked, “Brother, how do you plan to deal with Eireng’s matter?”
Originally, Nan Yan shouldn’t have been involved in Qin Lu’s personal affairs. Similarly, Qin Lu hadn’t inquired about her private matters. Both of them had given each other personal space and avoided interfering in each other’s lives.
However, when Qin Lu was injured in the Eireng incident and had even been in life-threatening danger, Nan Yan couldn’t stand idly by.
“Hmm?” Qin Lu’s mind was still filled with the sensation of her delicate touch on his leg, and he didn’t notice what she was asking.
However, Shen Junqing and Bai Chen heard it clearly.
They hadn’t asked Qin Lu about this matter either, as it was a private issue. Even though they were close to him, they were still outsiders and didn’t want to intrude.
So, they were curious about how he planned to handle it.
Nan Yan was more direct. She asked, “You suffered a lot at Eireng. How do you plan to get back at them?”
With Qin Lu’s personality, this matter certainly wouldn’t be easily let go.
Being manipulated, held captive, and nearly losing his life, if he could endure all of that, he wouldn’t be Qin Lu.
Nan Yan knew that he would seek revenge for this kind of grudge with his own hands. So, even though she had a burning desire for retribution, she didn’t take any action on her own.
During this period, she had been keeping an eye on Eireng’s situation, but everything seemed normal.
It was clear that Qin Lu hadn’t taken action yet.
The gentleness in Qin Lu’s eyes faded away, replaced by a layer of gloom. He replied, “Naturally, I’ll repay them tenfold, a hundredfold.”
“However, there’s no rush for now. It won’t be too late to take action once my leg has fully healed.”
Moreover, Caesar and the people behind him were well aware that he had left Eireng alive. They were probably feeling uneasy every day, fearing that he would come after them.
Let them agonize for a while longer, and when the time comes, they would settle the score together.
Nan Yan finally understood Qin Lu’s plan. She looked at him and said, “Oh…”
She had almost taken matters into her own hands.
Fortunately, she hadn’t, so she would leave it to him to handle. Her people were not in the best position to act, after all. They were all members of the Dark Realm. not exclusively hers.
Of course, she could easily mobilize Dark Realm members, and everyone would follow her orders.
She stayed at the Qin residence until five o’clock in the afternoon, when Sun Chan called.
He had returned to the Imperial Capital from Hundred Herb Garden and invited her to come over.
After hanging up the phone, Nan Yan stood up with her hands in her pockets.
“Brother, I need to go out for a while. I’ll be back in the evening.”
Qin Lu nodded. “Alright. Call me if you need anything.”
Seeing that Nan Yan was leaving, Shen Junqing and Bai Chen lost interest in staying here and followed her out.
Outside the Qin residence, Shen Junqing walked alongside Nan Yan with a demeanor that was both roguish and charming, giving off the air of a dashing playboy. He smiled and said, “Yanyan, where are you going? Can Third Brother accompany you?”
Nan Yan glanced at him and then at Bai Chen.
The look in Bai Chen’s eyes was even more obvious.
They both wanted to accompany her.
Nan Yan pondered for a moment and nodded. “Sure, let’s go together.”
Meeting Sun Chan wasn’t something to hide, and she had no intention of keeping her identity secret from Shen Junqing, a person she trusted.
As for Bai Chen, he had long known that she was a disciple of Divine Physician
Hua.
He just didn’t know that Medicine King Sun Chan was also her master.
They were all acquainted, so it would be a good opportunity for them to get to know each other better.
While the three of them headed to Sun Chan’s place, Nan Yan called Tang
Cheng and sent him their location, instructing him to bring Ji Yunmiao along….
