41 Popular With the Ladies

“…”

The woman’s mouth fell open, and she woke up from her sleep. “What did you say?”

She sized Shen Yanqing up from head to toe and said in disbelief, “Are you still the Shen Yanjing I know?”

In her memory, Shen Yanqing would never say such a thing.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Yanqing did not answer her. He lowered his head and focused on getting the phone in his pocket.

The moment he unlocked it, he seemed to have thought of something and looked up again. “You didn’t say anything to her, right?”

The woman was stumped. “What do you mean?”

Shen Yanqing was more familiar with her and knew her usual personality.

Therefore, he was very worried that she had said something unpleasant to Nan Ge.

“She’s young and sensitive. She might remember and think about your unintentional words for a long time.”

The woman threw up her hands and felt this was ridiculous. “What could I have said?”

“Not everyone is like you. Not everyone fails to take people’s words to heart.”

“…” Was he praising her?

“So did you say anything inappropriate to her just now? Think carefully.”

“Do you have to be so nervous?”

After making sure that he could not get anything out of her, Shen Yanqing took the bag beside him and turned to walk out. “Stay here tonight. I’ll get someone to arrange a hotel tomorrow morning and send a car to pick you up.”

“Where are you going?”

“Back to the office.”

——

When Nan Ge came out of the shower, Su Hui told her that the phone on her bed had rung just now.

She wiped her hair and climbed up to take a look.

On WeChat, Shen Yanqing sent her five or six messages.

The latest text message was five minutes ago.

Shen: [Are you at school now? Or in the restaurant?]

[I’m going back to school. Are you done?]

Shen: [I’ll be near your school in about ten minutes. Is it convenient for you to come out and meet me?]

Looking at the latest text message that popped up below, Nan Ge stopped drying her hair.

After a minute, Shen Yanqing asked again: [Please?]

Her fingertips trembled. In the end, her rejection turned into an okay.

In the car, after seeing her reply, Shen Yanqing heaved a sigh of relief.

Gao was still driving. He sat alone in the back seat and looked down at the handbag on the seat beside him.

Ever since he took it back in the afternoon, he had never opened it.

Did he take the wrong one?

A few seconds later, Shen Yanqing looked at the floral tie in his hand and fell silent…

He really could not pull off this color combination.

His ties usually had a simple color and were usually mature and low-key.

Something like this…

It was really a little difficult for him.

——

Nan Ge coaxed the dormitory manager. “I’m just going out to get something. I’ll be back soon. Please open the door for me when the time comes.”

“Alright, alright. Go ahead.” In any case, there were only two days left before the holidays, so the dormitory manager did not mind.

Nan Ge smiled and agreed. She wrapped her coat tightly around her and ran out.

It was late January, and the night breeze was cold. Nan Ge suddenly regretted not letting Shen Yanqing drive in.

She jogged in her slippers and finally saw the familiar Rolls-Royce with its hazard lights turned on near the artificial lake.

She saw the man leaning against the car from afar.

Nan Ge quickened her pace. “Why didn’t you wait for me in the car?”

Hearing the voice, the figure in front of the car stood up straight and turned to look at her.

Nan Ge braked and stopped in front of him, panting. Shen Yanqing took the opportunity to grab her forearm and help her up.

“I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to see you in the car, so I came down to wait. However, you arrived not long after I came down. Actually, you could’ve taken your time.”

Nan Ge waved her hand and panted twice before saying, “I went to look for you tonight.”

“I bumped into an older lady. She said you weren’t around, so I came back.”

Thinking of the woman in her pajamas, Nan Ge’s breathing, which had just calmed down, quickened.

Like orange soda that had been shaken for a long time and suddenly overturned, gassy liquid kept gushing out, wrapping tightly around her frantic heartbeat, mixed with a dense sourness.

Almost without thinking, she blurted out, “Is she your girlfriend?”

...

Shock flashed across Shen Yanqing’s eyes.

Across from him, Baby Penguin stood hugging her handbag as she looked up at him. Her expression was a little anxious and determined as if she had to get an answer from him.

“No, she isn’t.”

Shen Yanqing did not hesitate. “Did she tell you that?”

“Oh. No, she didn’t.” Nan Ge shook her head hard, her voice a little soft. “I was just guessing.”

“I forgot to ask…”

“I only thought about it when I left the neighborhood. On second thought, I don’t think I could have asked her directly…”

After all, what right did she have to ask?

“Since she was at your place dressed in pajamas, I thought she was probably…”

“It’s really not the case.” It was rare for Shen Yanqing to lose his patience. He interrupted her and hurriedly denied it.

Nan Ge hugged the bag tightly and looked at him in a daze.

...

“Sorry, it’s my fault this time.”

“According to our blood relationship, she’s my cousin. However, it’s a coincidence that we were born in the same year and are only two days apart.”

“That’s why we have addressed each other as siblings since we were young.”

One of them felt that being called an elder sister made her sound old. The other party felt that the woman did not look like an elder sister at all, so he could not bring himself to call her that.

Shen Yanqing paused for a moment. After saying that, he continued to explain the next question. “She didn’t inform me before coming over this time.”

“She’s been overseas for the past few years, and we rarely contact each other. She suddenly came back. I only realized that she was at my place when I went to look for you.”

“She’s a straightforward person. Sometimes, she doesn’t like to think before she speaks.”

“So, did she say something bad to you before?”

According to his family, his cousin had the temper of a woman from a privileged family. She thought highly of herself and looked at everyone with arrogance.

“No.” Nan Ge shook her head like a rattle drum.

Thinking of the Baby Penguin’s personality, Shen Yanqing was still worried. “If she really said anything inappropriate, you can tell me. I’ll get her to apologize to you.”

Nan Ge was not embarrassed to say it, but she recalled carefully that other than misunderstanding her, the woman did not say anything harsh.

“She really didn’t. I actually didn’t talk to her much. Before long… I ran away.”

“Why did you run?”

She did not expect him to ask this. She deliberated and touched her pink lips.

“I thought you were dating, so I felt a little awkward. It seemed a little… impolite to intrude any longer.”

“I also think you’re a little…” The baby penguin did not like to lie, so after holding it in for a long time, she still said what she genuinely thought.

“Popular with the ladies.”

Shen Yanqing, “…”
