Staying here is your best choice
After a good night's dream, when Ning Qian slowly opened her eyes on the soft and comfortable bed, the wall clock had already turned to 12 o'clock.
After a moment of shock, his face was filled with regret.
How could she sleep in someone else's house and wake up naturally? This was over, such a huge embarrassment.
He rolled over quickly and got out of bed.
As soon as she finished washing up, she heard a loud girl's voice coming from outside.
"Brother, I know you are at home, why don't you reply to my message?"
"Today is Sister Wen Lan's birthday. She will be sad if you don't go."
"elder brother--"
This was followed by a burst of confident footsteps.
"Miss Sheng, the master is reading the newspaper in the study, please be patient."
It was Mary's voice.
"I don't believe it. You're lying to me again. You said my brother was in the study, but the next second he was out of the villa."
"It is absolutely true, Miss. Mary wouldn't dare to lie to you."
"Don't stop me, my brother must be hiding in a room. Open every door for me now!"
"Miss...Mr. is really not here."
"Bang——"
Sheng Yao refused to listen to any advice. Her delicate little face showed an arrogant expression. She lifted the hem of her Lolita skirt with her slender white hands, and kicked the door hard with her shiny black leather shoes, kicking the half-open door all the way to the bottom.
Ning Qian was sticking to the door and was startled by the noise outside.
The daughter of the Sheng family seems to be very spoiled and domineering.
"OMG, Miss Sheng, are you hurt?" Mary ran to Sheng Yao's side in panic.
Sheng Yao stretched out a finger and shook it. "How can this broken door stop me? Mary, don't stand here. Go help me."
Mary's face showed an embarrassment. "Miss, if you kick the door like this, the master will be angry when he finds out."
Hearing that Sheng Yuanhan would get angry, Sheng Yao hesitated for a moment, but soon she raised her little face and snorted, "So what if I'm angry? There's nothing in this family that I dare not do!"
"Miss, don't—"
Sheng Yao kicked open several doors mercilessly one after another, and Mary followed behind, touching the scratches on the doors with heartache.
Seeing that there was no one in the other rooms, Sheng Yao lost interest.
Suddenly, she saw a tightly closed milky white door, and her intuition told her that there must be someone hiding inside!
So, she pointed at the room where Ning Qian lived and shouted, "Mary, open this door quickly and don't force me to move again."
Mary pressed her forehead with a headache, "Miss, there are guests of the gentleman staying here, you can't go in."
"What a joke! Is there any place in this house that I can't enter?"
When Sheng Yao heard that she was not allowed to go in, she first retorted angrily, but then curiosity arose in her heart. After all, would her brother, who was extremely particular and had obsessive-compulsive disorder, bring outsiders back home?
I guess he is playing hide-and-seek with her.
Sheng Yao's lips curled up, her blue eyes, inherited from her grandparents, stared at the door, and she kept kicking it with the tip of her shoe, "Stop talking nonsense, open the door for me!"
Mary stopped at the door. She was really afraid of this young lady. "Miss, this really can't be opened. Assistant Zhang has gone to the study to find Mr. Sheng. I think he will be here soon."
"Mary, you're a veteran employee of our company, but you don't have any sense at all." Sheng Yao kicked the door impatiently. "If you don't open the door, I'll have my brother fire you."
"This..." Mary's face turned pale, her hand on the door handle, not knowing what to do.
"Bang—"
The sound of a door opening from the inside.
"I knew you were hiding here..."
When Sheng Yao heard the door open, she felt complacent, thinking that her brother had compromised.
When she looked carefully, she was surprised to find that a beautiful woman with long hair and graceful figure came out.
"Hello, Miss Sheng, is there anything I can help you with?" Ning Qian looked at Sheng Yao with a smile.
She remembered that the last time she saw Sheng Yao was at her coming-of-age ceremony.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?" Sheng Yao took a step back in surprise. How could there be a strange woman in this room?
Her thoughts were racing in her mind, and she looked at Ning Qian from time to time.
"Miss Sheng, although you don't know me, I just attended your coming-of-age ceremony a while ago." Ning Qian talked about the coming-of-age ceremony in order to bring the two closer together.
"Really?" Sheng Yao lowered her guard a little after hearing that she had attended her coming-of-age ceremony. "Then why are you here again? Mary said you were my brother's guest. What's your relationship with my brother?"
Ning Qian was in a dilemma now. What kind of relationship could there be between her and Sheng Yuanhan? It was nothing more than that he took her in out of kindness because he saw that she had nowhere to go.
While Ning Qian was still racking her brains to think of a legitimate identity, the dull sound of leather shoes was heard on the winding porcelain-white stairs.
She looked up and saw Sheng Yuanhan walking towards them with a stern face and an impatient look in his eyes.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing, and even Sheng Yao, who had been arrogant just now, looked around with a guilty conscience.
"Yaoyao, Mr. Sheng is here." Zhang Xu followed behind Sheng Yuanhan and waved gently to Sheng Yao.
Under normal circumstances, Sheng Yao would have rushed to Zhang Xu's side and secretly complained about her brother, but today she was throwing a tantrum here, feeling somewhat guilty, and was worried that her brother would embarrass her.
"Sheng Yao, what are you doing here?" Sheng Yuanhan's voice was cold, as if he didn't welcome her here.
After saying this, he noticed the open doors of the rooms and frowned, asking, "Are you throwing a tantrum here again?"
[Headache. Yaoyao has made a fool of herself again.]
Originally, Ning Qian wanted to see how Sheng Yuanhan disciplined his arrogant and unruly sister, but unexpectedly, he said in his heart that he was an outsider.
Although she was indeed an outsider, it was a bit strange for him to think so. Did he not welcome her? If he did not welcome her, there was no need for him to let her stay in his villa just for the sake of appearances.
The more Ning Qian thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and she secretly glanced at Sheng Yuanhan out of the corner of her eye.
Sheng Yao raised her head and pursed her lips in grievance, "Brother, I didn't, I was just a little anxious."
"Tell me, what happened this time?" Sheng Yuanhan rubbed his brows, looking helpless.
Seeing that he was willing to listen to the reason why she came here, Sheng Yao smiled happily, "Brother, today is Sister Wen Lan's birthday, please do me the honor of accompanying me."
Sheng Yuanhan's eyes moved slightly, but he did not agree to her request.
When Sheng Yao saw that he was rejecting her, she begged hurriedly, "I've already made the final decision with them. If you don't come, where will I put my face?"
Sheng Yuanhan's gaze fell on Sheng Yao's angry face, and his tone was cold, "So you are using me as a favor?"
"No, I'm doing this for Sister Wen Lan. I heard her say with my own ears that she really wanted to see you."
"No." Sheng Yuanhan refused bluntly.
"Brother, why are you like this! Sister Wen Lan likes you so much and is so nice to me, can't you take the initiative?"
Is this the kind of wealthy gossip I should be able to hear? Ning Qian stood quietly to the side, her eyes fixed on her nose, her nose focused on her heart, trying her best to minimize her presence.
Sheng Yuanhan sighed silently, "Secretary Zhang, pick a gift and go to the Wen family on Yaoyao and me's behalf."
"Okay, sir." Zhang Xu hesitated for a few seconds and finally agreed.
Seeing that her brother was determined not to go over, Sheng Yao stamped her feet angrily, "Brother, you're really going too far. Sister Wen Lan has liked you for so many years, can't she warm your cold heart?"
"I'm really disappointed in you, and I feel it's not worth it for Sister Wen Lan to like you so much!"
Sheng Yuanhan still had that cold expression on his face. "Zhang Zhu, go with Yaoyao."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Sheng Yao held her breath and refused to move.
"Yaoyao, don't be angry. Listen to your brother." Zhang Xu tried to speak gently. After all, as the older brother, he still had some status in Sheng Yao's heart.
"No." Sheng Yao crossed her arms, unwilling to leave.
"Yaoyao, be obedient. Let's go buy gifts now."
Zhang Xu bent down and looked at Sheng Yao's aggrieved little face. If he looked closely, he could see a few tears in her angry eyes.
"Go away, I don't want to see you now." Sheng Yao reached out and pushed Zhang Xu away.
Zhang Xu touched the tip of his nose awkwardly, thinking that only Mr. Sheng could appease him.
Time passed minute by minute, and Ning Qian rubbed her nose uncomfortably. The wind in the corridor became cooler and cooler, which made her get goose bumps and even her nose felt a little itchy.
She tried her best to control the urge to sneeze to avoid becoming the target of public criticism at this time.
She was so sleepy that tears came out at the same time. She kept yawning until she couldn't hold it back anymore and sneezed heartily.
"Ah Qiu...Ah Qiu"
Ning Qian sneezed three times in a row and finally felt less uncomfortable.
When she wiped her nose and raised her head to ease the embarrassment, she found that everyone was looking at her.
"I'm fine, there's no need to be so..."
Before she could finish her words, Sheng Yao glared at her fiercely.
"Fox spirit!"
After saying that, he stepped on his leather shoes vigorously and left with an angry look on his face.
Ning Qian didn't understand why she was being scolded for no reason. Sheng Yuanhan didn't want to attend someone else's birthday party, and it wasn't her fault.
"Yaoyao, wait for me."
Seeing Sheng Yao walking very fast, Zhang Xu hurriedly caught up with her.
Mary didn't know when she left, and only she and Sheng Yuanhan were left standing there.
Sheng Yuanhan's deep eyes finally fell on her, and his calm expression changed slightly. "Sorry, next time I will ask her to come and apologize."
"Forget it, children don't understand."
Ning Qian really doesn't have the energy to deal with adolescent children.
"It's necessary. We can't let outsiders laugh at us." Sheng Yuanhan's tone was serious, and there was an unquestionable look in his eyes.
Talking about outsiders again, Ning Qian wiped his nose. It seemed that as an outsider, he had to leave quickly.
"Thank you, Mr. Sheng, for your care these past two days. I have something else to do, so I won't bother you any further."
I heard that wealthy people pay special attention to etiquette, so Ning Qian even half bowed to express her gratitude.
Sheng Yuanhan's eyes revealed doubt, and he asked, "What urgent matter do you need to deal with?"
Ning Qian looked at him strangely. Didn't he understand that this was just a polite remark? And people should have some sense of boundaries. How could he ask her about her personal matters so directly?
"It's just a small thing, don't worry about it." In fact, it was nothing serious, it was just that she felt embarrassed to stay in someone else's house.
"According to Secretary Zhang, you are now a person with no property, no car and no job. I can't imagine what you have to deal with." Sheng Yuanhan's eyes were clear, and he described her situation in a voice that was neither too loud nor too low.
Ning Qian clasped her hands together awkwardly and lowered her head in embarrassment. It was quite embarrassing to be called out by a superior and have the truth revealed.
"If you want to avoid the marriage your family has arranged for you, staying here is your best choice."
"This place has the most stringent and powerful security system in all of Beijing North, with 24-hour non-stop security."
"And the food and accommodation provided here are not only the best, but also considered luxurious..."
Sheng Yuanhan was listing the benefits of living here one by one, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ning Qian.
"Excuse me, but I'm afraid to ask, do you want me to stay here?" Ning Qian was upset and couldn't figure out what Sheng Yuanhan meant.
Sheng Yuanhan lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze resting on her rosy cheeks, "Haven't you figured it out yet?"
"What?"
Ning Qian looked up in confusion and met Sheng Yuanhan's crystal clear eyes.
Staring at his handsome face from such a close distance made Ning Qianshuai feel a little dizzy.
She didn't know what words to use to describe this feeling. The throbbing sound of her heartbeat indicated that this was like an artist meeting her mousse.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sheng, I still don't understand what you mean."
Sheng Yuanhan was probably not used to this kind of eye contact, and looked away uncomfortably, his voice a little gentler than before, "You can stay."
"Why?" Ning Qian almost blurted out.
Why do you want me to stay? What is the reason?
