I Deliver Food in a Lamborghini-Chapter 26
Sounded Like an Angry Wife
Shen Yanqing could not calm down for a long time after the call ended.
Nan Ge’s words seemed to linger in his ears.
Although he had seen the man drive her back with his own eyes and seen them talking on the phone, Nan Ge said that she was not in a relationship and did not have a boyfriend.
Between the two, he believed Nan Ge more.
The scales in his heart did not waver and leaned towards her without hesitation.
He had always been a good judge of character, and he knew from his interaction with her that she was not a hypocritical young woman.
She was not a girl who could lie.
Just like just now, she did not even think much about it and even obediently told him her brother’s words.
She was not guarded against people, so everything she said was the truth.
Sincerity and kindness were synonymous with her.
Thinking of this, Shen Yanqing felt relieved.
The huge rock on his heart suddenly shattered. As if the gods pitied him, he was given the chance to breathe again.
How could Assistant Yuan know what he was thinking?
He held a glass of water and tried to comfort him. “President Shen, why don’t you drink some water to calm down? Other people can drown their sorrows in alcohol after falling out of love, but not you. Your condition doesn’t allow it. Why don’t you drink more hot water instead?”
“No, strictly speaking, you didn’t get jilted.”
They weren’t dating yet.
Shen Yanqing, “…”
Raising his head, he deliberated and said, “She’s not in a relationship. That person isn’t her boyfriend.”
“Huh?” Assistant Yuan subconsciously thought that Shen Yanqing was too sad and was numbing himself.
“Do you really have to, President Shen? You’ve seen all kinds of storms. You can’t be defeated by such a small setback.”
“Moreover, love isn’t that important. Look at you. You have such a great career… as for love… who needs it? You’re the model of success.”
“…”
“She’s indeed single. I was thinking too much.” He lowered his eyes and placed the glass of water that Assistant Yuan handed him back on the cabinet. “I misunderstood her.”
Assistant Yuan was suddenly confused.
He scratched his head. “Really?”
“Yeah.”
“Who is that man?”
“I didn’t ask.” Shen Yanqing’s attention was on Nan Ge’s answer, so he did not ask the rest.
“I think they’re friends.”
“That’s great!” Assistant Yuan clapped his hands and was happy for him. “Since he’s not her boyfriend, it doesn’t matter who he is. Anyway, we know what kind of person Miss Nan Ge is.”
He knew that Nan Ge, who looked like a silly girl, could not be that kind of person.
Thinking that there was still a chance for the couple, Assistant Yuan’s mood improved a lot. He clenched his fists and cheered Shen Yanqing on.
“Good luck, President Shen! All the people on the 37th floor are rooting for you.”
The 37th floor of Huasheng Group was the president’s office.
Shen Yanqing said helplessly, “It seems that you’ve been discussing this matter in private these past few days.”
“Of course not.” Assistant Yuan smiled dryly.
“Oh really?”
“Everyone is just more concerned about you. Think about it, after so many years, this is the first time you’re so concerned about a girl. Everyone is just looking forward to it.”
“Of course, everyone is very supportive of you! We all hope that you can win the girl!”
“Enough.” Shen Yanqing shook his head with a smile. He was not angry, but he did not say much. “I’ll sleep a little longer. Wake me up when the drip is done.”

Meanwhile, at the female dormitory room 518.
Seeing that Nan Ge had finished her call, Su Hui took a bite of the apple and asked, “Are you going out? At this hour? The snow on the road is quite thick. Don’t drive.”
“The snow on the road is quite thick. You shouldn’t drive.”
Nan Ge put the phone away and shook her head. “I’m not going out.”
“Who’s calling? Your brother?”
“No.” Nan Ge climbed back into bed with her phone. She explained as she adjusted the blanket, “It’s Shen Yanqing. He’s sick. It sounds a little serious.”
“Huh?”
Hearing this name, the rest of the roommates turned to her.
“Shen Yanqing? Are you talking about the guy who came to give a lecture not long ago?” Her roommate, Fang Yuanyuan, widened her eyes.
“Yes.”
“Nan Ge, when did you meet Shen Yanqing?”
Su Hui tilted her head and helped answer, “Nan Ge works part-time to deliver food to their company.”
“Oh god. Is he cute in person?”
...
“He’s so handsome! I told you to attend the lecture with me, but you refused.”
“Sigh. I told you I was busy, right?” Fang Yuanyuan patted the bed and said excitedly, “Hurry up and tell me how handsome he is! How does he compare with top celebrities?”
Su Hui replied, “Comparing President Shen to a celebrity, is an insult to President Shen.”
Cheng Xia, the dormitory head, butt in and said, “Shen Yanqing’s photo was posted on the official website two days ago. Yuanyuan, didn’t you see it?”
Hearing this, Fang Yuanyuan was stunned and quickly went to get her phone.
A few minutes later, a scream came from the dormitory.
The other three had expected this and covered their ears, avoiding the calamity. f𝘳𝚎𝗲𝘸e𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃𝘦𝚕. co𝚖
“F*ck! Why didn’t I go that day? Damn it! Honestly, is he really that handsome in real life? Are you sure no filter was used for the picture?”
“Just look at the wrinkles on the dean’s face. The pic’s legit.”
“Tsk! I don’t trust you. Nan Ge, tell me the truth!”
Nan Ge was stunned when she was suddenly called out.
...
She scratched her ear shyly. “He looks even more handsome in person than in the photos.”
Fang Yuanyuan was astonished to hear this.
“When will Shen Yanqing give another lecture?”
——
After switching off the lights, Nan Ge drew the curtain and lay back on the bed.
She was not very sleepy yet, so she might as well click on her Moments to have a look.
After scrolling for a while, she finally saw the location and photo her brother had sent a few hours ago. He was in London.
[?] She commented with a question mark.
A few minutes later, Nan Zhe sent her a private message: [It’s already so late. Why aren’t you sleeping?]
Nan Ge logged out of her WeChat Moments and typed back: [I’m not sleepy yet.]
[Big Bro, why did you go to London? Why didn’t you tell me?]
Ugly People Always Make Trouble: [Didn’t I tell you before?]
Nan Ge thought for a moment. She could not remember such a thing happening.
She said firmly: [No, but that’s not important.]
[Shen Yanqing is also in London now.]
That seemed to be the point.
Ugly People Always Make Trouble: […]
Meanwhile, in England.
Nan Zhe, who was still in the hotel, laughed in anger when he saw this message.
He hit the keyboard hard, but in the next second, he felt that the words could not express his surging emotions.
Hence, he quickly pressed the audio message button: [I told you a long time ago that I was going to London to attend a business dinner! You didn’t listen at all, did you?!]
[It’s none of your business where Shen Yanqing is! The same goes for me!]
[Nan Youyou, you don’t even know where your own brother is, and you still have the mood to care about others? Are you still human?]
A minute later, Nan Zhe received a reply: [ Big Bro, you sound like an angry wife.]
