Du Xiran met a colleague in the tea room and chatted for a few words before fetching some water and returning to the office. He saw Ye Nanning sitting upright, looking as well-behaved as a model student who was about to be reprimanded.
"I just want to look at the data, there's no need to be so nervous." Du Xiran sat down with a smile, glanced at his phone, and subconsciously wanted to reply to the blogger he was chatting with.
I opened my phone and was stunned.
[The other party withdrew a message]
[The other party withdrew a message]
Du Xiran didn't know what the other party had withdrawn, so he could only suppress his curiosity for the time being and concentrate on the business at hand.
She opened Ye Nanning's organized documents and read them carefully.
Every minute and every second of the waiting time was long. Worried about making mistakes at work and being discovered, Ye Nanning was like a person walking to the execution ground, waiting for the final result.
Seeing Du Xiran's expression becoming more and more solemn and silent, Ye Nanning felt more and more tormented. Her eyes darted around, and when she saw the phone on the table, she almost blurted out, asking the other party if he knew that she was the grandfather under the tree.
"There are a few problems here." Du Xiran suddenly said, pointing at the document.
Ye Nanning came back to her senses and looked at her blankly: "Where."
Du Xiran turned sideways and handed over a little of the document: "The market risks are not comprehensive enough. These risks were included in the previous materials. Now that we are going to list overseas, the risks we face will be different."
"Okay." Ye Nanning quickly wrote it down.
Du Xiran pointed out a few more mistakes and said, "We should pay attention to these at ordinary times, but this is your first time compiling this kind of information, which is already very impressive. It saves everyone time. We can use it after we go back and revise it."
Ye Nanning nodded: "That's good."
"Okay, go back and have a rest, take a nap." Du Xiran waved her hand, yawned, and took out her shawl and wrapped it around herself. Not knowing what she thought of, she suddenly looked at Ye Nanning, "Don't come in and peek at me sleeping later, or you'll see me drooling."
Ye Nanning smiled and closed the door for her when she left.
It was lunchtime and most people had already gone to bed, but she was not sleepy at all. She came out of the office alone, found a cafe downstairs and sat down. She opened her phone and repeatedly checked the chat history with "Dududu".
People always like to talk about fate, but once a coincidence really happens to them, they find it hard to believe and even don’t want to face it.
Taking a closer look at this fan’s ID, it’s just “Dududu”. I’ve never thought about it in this way before.
However, judging from Du Xiran's normal expression, the other party didn't know that she was the grandfather under the tree.
Therefore, all those flattery I said to President Du before have not been discovered yet. It’s not too embarrassing. I just need to keep this vest well!
And...and this might also be an opportunity to get close to President Du. Normally, she wouldn't dare to tell President Du these girlish thoughts on WeChat.
"Ye Nanning, what a coincidence." Yan Zhenghao came over with a cup of coffee, "Can I sit here?"
Ye Nanning glanced at him, said nothing, and drank her coffee.
Yan Zhenghao sat down directly opposite her and saw that she was looking out the window. The lines of her profile looked both beautiful and distant.
"When I was in class, I always saw you like this, looking outside and keeping people at a distance." Yan Zhenghao smiled.
Ye Nanning turned back and looked at him: "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"We are all colleagues, so it's okay to chat for a while, right?" Yan Zhenghao had always restrained his thoughts in school, knowing that it would be difficult to pursue her, so he wanted to wait until he had the capital before taking action. Now they are in the same company, and he has a good performance at work and good relationships with people, so he feels that he can have more topics to talk about with her, so he smiled and said, "How did you feel about your business trip a few days ago? Are you tired?"
For some reason, after asking this question, Yan Zhenghao felt that her expression softened a little, although she still showed no expression.
"It's okay." Ye Nanning picked up the coffee and took a sip, covering the slightly raised corners of her mouth.
Ye Nanning, don't be complacent! Keep a low profile!
"That's good. I'll try to get a chance to go on a business trip. I think I can learn a lot."
Ye Nanning nodded.
"By the way, have you been paying attention to the forum's developments? Someone is guessing whether you are in a relationship or not." Yan Zhenghao asked tentatively.
A figure walked past the window, and Ye Nanning said, "Hu Hanqiao is outside."
Yan Zhenghao looked over and saw Hu Hanqiao also looking at them with surprise, as if she didn't know whether to come in or not.
"She and I are just ordinary friends." Yan Zhenghao said, "You should be able to tell who I like, right?"
"Me?" Ye Nanning asked.
"Um."
"I'm sorry, I don't like you." After saying this, Ye Nanning breathed a sigh of relief, finally rejecting the person.
Yan Zhenghao hadn't expressed his feelings directly before. How could she, with her social anxiety, have the nerve to actively reject him? What if he misunderstood her?
She had deliberately kept her distance, but Yan Zhenghao always thought there was still a chance, and this time he finally got the chance.
"Do you look down on me or do you simply have no feelings for me?" Yan Zhenghao asked.
"Didn't you just say that the forum was asking about my relationship status?" Ye Nanning finished the rest of her coffee in one gulp, stood up, and looked down at him, "I can tell you that I'm in unrequited love."
Yan Zhenghao was shocked for a moment, then immediately chased after her: "Ye Nanning!"
Ye Nanning stopped walking, looked at Hu Hanqiao in front of her and said, "He just confessed to me, and I have clearly rejected him. Don't involve me in your affairs in the future, and don't let it affect my work. I have been silent only because I don't want to play these house games with you, not because I am weak."
After saying that, she strode away, leaving Hu Hanqiao and Yan Zhenghao looking at each other in bewilderment.
After entering the elevator, Ye Nanning quickly pressed the door closing button, then took a long breath and secretly clenched his fists: Well done!
I finally got everything out of my mind in one breath, it feels so good!
The afternoon work went on in an orderly manner. Ye Nanning's mind was filled with work. Until after get off work, when she saw Du Xiran leaving with her bag, all kinds of thoughts began to emerge in her mind.
Should we confess directly to President Du?
Then the other party will definitely ask who this super perfect secret crush is, and the answer is self-evident!
Or cut off contact with Mr. Du?
Woo woo woo I can’t bear to let go.
Otherwise, you will deny it even if you are beaten to death?
...seems to work.
As I was thinking about it, my phone lit up and there was a message on Weibo.
Dududu: [Sorry, I was too busy this afternoon and didn’t see the message. What did you withdraw? ]
Although some people around her had already left work, she was still very cautious. She went to the toilet with her phone, closed the cubicle door, and replied:
Dududu: [Okay, I'm off work now. Let's not talk anymore. You should go to bed early.]
Ye Nanning: "......"
Is that all?
Let’s chat for another two minutes.
Ye Nanning looked at her phone sadly. Two minutes later, there was still no message from the other party. She left the bathroom in frustration.
When I returned to my workstation, I saw WeChat was popping up. I clicked it and saw that it was a message from Du Xiran!
Du Xiran: [Did you forget something? ]
Forgot something? Forgot to express my love to you?
Ye Nanning replied in confusion:?
Du Xiran: [......]
Du Xiran: [Your luggage is still in my car! ]
Ye Nanning was shocked. Look how angry President Du was, he even used an exclamation mark.
She ran to the parking lot dejectedly and saw the other person from a distance. When she walked over, she realized that the other person was on the phone and motioned for her to wait.
Ye Nanning was waiting nearby. From the corner of her eye she noticed that their shadows were very long and their heads were touching each other.
She secretly took a photo of her shadow, and when she heard Du Xiran hang up the phone, she quickly put away her phone.
"The luggage has been left here for a few days, didn't you notice?" Du Xiran opened the trunk and said while standing aside.
Ye Nanning tried to lift the box, but couldn't lift it at first. Du Xiran reached out to help lift it.
"Are you okay?" Ye Nanning put down the box and subconsciously grabbed Du Xiran's hand and blew on it.
Du Xiran: "...Do you know who you look like now?"
Ye Nanning belatedly let go of her hand and stammered, "Who is it?"
"Li Lianying, that's so flattering and cautious."
"......" Ye Nanning pursed her lips, "But you are not Empress Dowager Cixi."
"Who am I then?"
"You are Princess Du."
"Pfft." Du Xiran laughed out loud, "Okay, take your box back."
"Well, I'll go up and work overtime first."
"Drag the box?"
"Um."
"Put it on the first floor and let the security guard watch it for you."
When Ye Nanning thought about having to talk to the security guard again, she would rather use her legs a little: "It's too much trouble for him, I'd better drag him up."
"......" Du Xiran had no choice but to pat the car body, "Get in the car, I'll take you home."
Ye Nanning: “!!”
"hurry up."
"But my work is almost finished." Ye Nanning said regretfully.
Du Xiran: "How long will it take?"
Ye Nanning: "About half an hour?"
"Go ahead, let's have dinner together later and I'll take you back." Du Xiran thought. There were still a few food restaurants shared with her by bloggers that she hadn't visited yet. It would be better to take a friend with her than to eat alone.
Happiness came too suddenly. Ye Nanning looked down at her feet and muttered, "I didn't step on dog shit. How can I be so lucky?"
"What the hell, put the box down and go do the work. I'm going to the restaurant now to reserve a table. I'll send you the location later."
"good!"
Because Du Xiran was still waiting for her, Ye Nanning was much more efficient in finishing the work. She finished it in less than twenty minutes and quickly turned off the phone to leave.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?" Xu Huan asked.
"Let's eat!" Ye Nanning replied while running. When she squeezed into the elevator, she ran into Yan Zhenghao.
The other party nodded at her. Ye Nanning stood aside and heard him ask in a low voice: "Can I know who you like?"
Ye Nanning shook her head: "It's a private question, I can't answer it."
Yan Zhenghao: "You are not lying to me, are you?"
Ye Nanning shook her head again. This time she didn't even have time to answer. When she saw the elevator door open, she hurried out.
Yan Zhenghao noticed an indescribable sense of anticipation in her expression, and guessed that she was going to meet someone she liked, and sighed dejectedly.
The address is a very familiar store. If I remember correctly, she shared it with this fan named Du.
After rushing to the restaurant, she avoided the waiter's service and started looking for the table according to the table number Du Xiran gave her.
"Ye Nanning, I'm here." Du Xiran shouted.
Ye Nanning looked up and saw steam coming out of the pot on the table, and Du Xiran smiled at her in the smoke.
Ye Nanning walked over with difficulty and sat down opposite her: "Boss Du."
"You are so funny. You call me Princess Du at work, but call me President Du after get off work?" Du Xiran said with a smile.
"Princess Du." Ye Nanning changed her words.
Du Xiran held his forehead, afraid that he would laugh himself into pieces, and said, "It's better to call him President Du, it's more intimate."
"Okay, Mr. Du."
"I ordered some. Do you want to add some meat?" Du Xiran said.
Ye Nanning scanned the QR code on the table, checked the food she had ordered, and added a portion of dragon and spoon meat, wanting to let Du Xiran try it: "Mr. Du, I'll treat you this time."
Du Xiran: "Have you received your salary?"
Ye Nanning: “No.”
Du Xiran said, "Don't you hire them after you get paid?"
Ye Nanning replied: "I usually play stocks and made a little money yesterday."
"Really? Which one made money?" Du Xiran asked curiously.
Ye Nanning answered, but the other party became interested and started chatting with her about stocks.
The waiter who served the food looked at them in surprise and reminded them: "The meat is fresh, please eat it as soon as possible."
The two of them ended the topic with a sense of unfulfilled desire. Du Xiran smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so professional. I thought you were just playing around. Where did you get the capital?"
"New Year's money." Ye Nanning said with her head down.
"Well... no wonder." Du Xiran nodded, thinking of the rumors he had heard before. Ye Nanning dressed well at school, and it should just be the legitimate income she earned from playing stocks, so it was right to delete those posts!
She picked up her phone and sent a red envelope to Zhang Mishuang.
Zhang Mishuang: [? Are you possessed? ]
Du Xiran: [A reward for your boyfriend, he has good skills]
Zhang Mishuang: […Dear, please be careful with your words. If you say that, I will easily start to think about random things.]
Du Xiran: [IT technology! ]
"Boss Du, you can eat now." Ye Nanning wanted to pick up some meat for her, but she was afraid that she would dislike her chopsticks, so she used the serving chopsticks to pick it up, "It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Today we are at a Chaoshan beef hotpot restaurant. The beef is freshly cut, has a tender texture, and is cooked to perfection.
Du Xiran looked at her skilled movements when she was blanching the meat and asked curiously, "Do you come here often?"
Ye Nanning nodded: "It cooks quickly and tastes good."
Du Xiran smiled and said, "Fast maturation is also a reason?"
Ye Nanning: “Yeah.”
This is another big reason. If it cooks quickly, you can finish eating it quickly, see fewer people, and it is very friendly to people with social anxiety.
"Do you like to eat it?" Du Xiran asked.
Ye Nanning thought about it for a moment, afraid of exposing her true identity and worried about leaving CEO Du with the impression that she only knows how to eat, so she shook her head and said, "I rarely go out to eat."
Du Xiran found that her answer was that she rarely eats it, not that she doesn't like to eat it, so it should be that she likes it but can't eat it often.
Du Xiran: "I just need a dining companion. Let's go eat together when we have time."
Ye Nanning: "!!!"
Ye Nanning looked at her flattered: "Really? Can I?"
"Well, a food blogger I follow shared several delicious foods with me. I want to try them all. Others are either busy or don't want to eat with me. If you don't mind eating with the leader, come along." Du Xiran said.
"I don't mind." Ye Nanning started dancing in her heart, and then she thought that this opportunity was actually given by the "grandfather under the tree", she couldn't help but feel happier and decided to find a chance to share more.
"Mr. Du, please try this, it's very tender." Ye Nanning kept picking up food for her.
"You eat too, don't just focus on me." Du Xiran picked some for her as well.
Ye Nanning fed the meat into her mouth with slightly trembling hands.
Even if I die here today, it will be worth it!
After dinner, Du Xiran sent her to University B, then returned home and gave the restaurant a five-star rating.
She opened Weibo, looked at the restaurants shared by the blogger, and began to look forward to the upcoming check-in trip. After eating, she would go to the blogger to ask for sharing on some of the delicious restaurants.
Just as she was thinking this, the other party sent her a few links.
Du Xiran replied with a few exclamation marks in surprise: [I was just thinking about asking you for the link later, and you showed up! ]
Grandpa under the tree:
Dududu:
Grandpa under the tree: [You’re welcome~ Go out and eat more delicious food when you have time, you will feel better (*▽*)]
The blogger tonight seems to be particularly fond of using emoticons. He must be a cute young man, Du Xiran thought.
Dududu: [Okay, I won’t let you down. ]
Grandpa under the tree:
Grandpa under the tree: [May everything go well, may all your wishes come true, may you live a happy life, and may you be happy every day! ]
Du Xiran: Haha, it’s so cute.
Dududu:
Grandpa under the tree: [Okay! Muah! =3=]
Dududu: [=3=]
Du Xiran shook off the goose bumps on his body, smiled and went to take a shower.
On the other side, Ye Nanning held her phone and screamed——
Ahhhhhhhhh, President Du kissed her across the Internet cable!!!
......
The next day was the weekend. Ye Nanning got up, had breakfast, cleaned up, and started working on her thesis. During this time, she received a call from Ye Tingyuan.
Ye Nanning took a deep breath and answered the call. The person on the other end seemed to know that she would not take the initiative to speak, so he said directly: "Come back today."
Ye Nanning was about to refuse, but Ye Tingyuan said to himself: "Today is grandma's birthday. Mom brought her home. She is already here."
Ye Nanning had no choice but to change clothes and drive back to the Ye family.
The Ye family has several properties in City B, but for the convenience of work and study, most of them are riverside villas in the city center.
Passing by a shopping mall, she went in and bought a gold necklace and a jade pendant.
The doorbell rang a few times before the nanny opened the door and said with a smile, "The second young lady is back. Come in quickly. The old lady has been here for a while."
From the living room came the sound of a family talking and laughing——
"Xiaoyuan is getting more and more handsome, and he looks more and more like your mother."
"That's also due to my parents' good genes. Grandma, please eat something. It's hard for you to come all the way here."
"It's not hard, your mother drove to pick me up early in the morning. Fu Jie, thank you for your help."
"Mom, what are you talking about? This is not a big deal. I told you to live with us, but you insisted on living in the suburbs."
"I have company over there. What's the point of living here? When I go out, there are cars and people everywhere. I don't know anyone. It's not fun.
Ye Tingyuan laughed out loud, turned his head, and found Ye Nanning standing at the entrance. He greeted her, "You're here."
The sounds of talking and laughing stopped abruptly, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked over at the same time.
Ye Nanning nodded: "Hello, grandma, hello, auntie."
Grandma glanced at Fu Jie subconsciously, and then said, "Well, come in, what are you doing standing there?"
Ye Nanning walked over and handed her the gift: "Happy birthday."
"Thank you." Grandma said politely.
"Please sit down first. The meal will be ready soon. I'll go upstairs to call your dad down." Fu Jie got up and left.
Ye Nanning pursed her lips and sat down on the sofa.
Ye Tingyuan, who was originally half paralyzed, also sat up straight. The atmosphere in the living room was dull for half a minute before he found a topic to ask, "How was the internship?"
"fine."
"I looked at your school forum a few days ago and found that some posts slandering you had been deleted," said Ye Tingyuan.
Ye Nanning nodded, and suddenly turned to look at him: "Why do you always visit our school's forum?"
"I'm not..." Ye Tingyuan paused, "I want to apply to University B, so I want to learn more about the schools first. I've looked at both University A and University C."
Ye Tingyuan is a senior in high school, but his whole family attaches great importance to his future.
Ye Nanning asked curiously: "Aren't you planning to study abroad?"
"Let's talk about it later." Ye Tingyuan picked up a drink and drank it, muttering, "You didn't go abroad either."
Ye Nanning fell silent. At this time, Ye Yiyu came down from the study upstairs and came to the living room.
Ye Yiyu looked very energetic. He was tall and strong. He usually exercised, so he didn't have a very obvious pot belly. His hair was just a lot grayer. He first asked his grandmother: "Mom, do you want to rest for a while?"
"That's good. When you get old, you just need to sleep more." Grandma stood up and rubbed her legs. Fu Jie immediately helped her to the room to rest.
Ye Nanning watched her leave. When she looked away, she noticed Ye Yiyu was looking at her and said hesitantly, "Dad..."
Ye Yiyun asked the same question as Ye Tingyuan: "How was the internship?"
Ye Nanning: "Very good."
Ye Yiyun: "What's good about it?"
Ye Nanning: "......"
"Environment, salary, colleagues, leaders, these can all be discussed in detail," said Ye Yiyu.
Ye Nanning: "......"
Every time she goes home, she is most afraid of these questions. As a father, it is natural for him to want to know about her recent situation, but she doesn't really want to say too much to Ye Yiyu.
Every time they talked about something, it was too serious, as if the leader was interrogating her, which made her a little anxious.
"The environment is good, the salary is good, the colleagues are good, and the leadership is good too." Ye Nanning replied.
Ye Yiyun: "......"
The atmosphere became increasingly gloomy, and Ye Tingyuan couldn't help but ask, "Dad, can I have more pocket money next month?"
"What are you going to do now?" Ye Yiyu asked in a deep voice.
"It's my birthday next month, and I want to treat my classmates to a nice meal," said Ye Tingyuan.
"Is it necessary to be so extravagant? Can't we just eat something nearby the school?"
"My second sister's living expenses in high school were much higher than mine. You are just biased." Ye Tingyuan muttered.
"How am I biased? Can you be the same?" Ye Yiyu spoke hastily. He felt a little nervous after he finished speaking. He turned around and saw that Ye Nanning had no extra reaction. He was already used to his daughter's personality. He turned his head and looked at Ye Tingyuan, "If you need money, go ask your mother. Don't bother me."
"Let's go." Ye Tingyuan was about to go upstairs when he saw Fu Jie coming down and said, "Mom, it's my birthday next month, and I want to treat my classmates to a meal. Can I have more pocket money?"
"Okay, just tell me what gift you want." Fu Jie said generously, then walked to the sofa and sat down.
"I want a car." Ye Tingyuan said excitedly, "I'll be eighteen next month."
"no problem."
"Just indulge him." Ye Yiyu said.
Fu Jie glanced at him and said, "It's just a car, why be so stingy? We don't need tens of thousands of dollars."
"Tens of thousands of dollars?" Ye Tingyuan was shocked. "Mom, are you planning to get rid of me with a car worth tens of thousands of dollars?"
"What else? Do you think all the money comes from the wind?"
"......" Ye Tingyuan glanced at Ye Nanning again, "Second sister's eighteenth birthday gift is much more expensive than this."
"Don't compare yourself with others. You should at least be able to get into B University like her," said Fu Jie.
Ye Tingyuan: "Don't worry, I will definitely pass the exam!"
Ye Nanning listened to the conversation between mother and son, but in her heart she was thinking about how to write the paper, what to do at work next week, and where else she could find delicious food to share with President Du?
"Nan Ning, do you have enough living expenses now?" Fu Jie suddenly asked.
Ye Nanning was stunned, then nodded: "That's enough, I'm already doing my internship, and I'll get paid soon, so you don't have to give me living expenses anymore, Auntie."
Fu Jie looked at Ye Yiyu: "What do you think?"
Ye Yiyun's eyes moved around Ye Nanning, and finally landed on Fu Jie. His tone softened a bit: "You decide."
"You decide."
"Then let's do as she says. Since she wants to work hard, let's see how far she can go."
At lunch time, the two aunts also came with their families. The whole family happily celebrated the old woman's birthday, and there was a peaceful atmosphere at the table.
The aunts first asked about Ye Tingyuan's studies, and then they were concerned about his eldest son who was studying abroad: "When will Shuangshuang come back?"
"She and her classmates founded a brand and are so busy that she can't even come back for the New Year." Fu Jie's face showed pride when she mentioned her eldest daughter.
"Shuangshuang is really amazing. She studied jewelry design and I heard that she can make a lot of money from it." said the eldest aunt.
"Not necessarily." Fu Jie said modestly.
"Of course they will. All your children are very smart. Shuangshuang and Nanning... ha, they are both so smart. Xiaoyuan also has good grades. They are all promising people."
Fu Jie laughed.
Ye Nanning was eating, only paying attention to the dishes in front of her. Ye Tingyuan, who was standing by her side, suddenly stood up, changed the dishes in front of him, and said, "Why do you always put the dishes I like so far away?"
"How rude." Fu Jie scolded, and Ye Tingyuan made a face.
Ye Nanning secretly glanced at Ye Tingyuan and picked up the dishes in front of her again. They all tasted good.
After dinner, Ye Yiyu went back to the study to continue his work. The ladies stayed in the living room to talk to the old lady. Ye Nanning sat aside uncomfortably, unable to join in the conversation and not knowing how to get along with them.
"Second sister, come on, play two games with me." Ye Tingyuan shouted.
Ye Nanning got up and followed him to the room. They sat on the carpet. Ye Tingyuan opened the game and started playing it directly.
The two didn't talk much, with only Ye Tingyuan screaming from time to time.
After winning several games in a row, Ye Tingyuan wanted to shout excitedly and stretched out his hands to high-five her. However, when he saw her cold and expressionless face, he became discouraged again. He raised his hands in the air awkwardly, and when he was about to take them back, he heard two crisp sounds.
Snap——
Ye Nanning high-fived him.
Ye Tingyuan looked at her in surprise, but her expression didn't change. She slowly picked up the controller and stared at the TV screen intently. While starting the next round of the game, she asked, "I'm having a birthday party next month. Will you come?"
Ye Nanning looked ahead and replied, "I don't know your classmates."
"They all know you. Your legend is still circulating in our school. They want to meet you, the beautiful, smart and undefeated legend." Ye Tingyuan said.
"I'm not a big star, there's nothing to see." Ye Nanning said, and added, "Don't worry, the gift will be delivered to you."
Ye Tingyuan curled his lips.
After playing for a while, Ye Nanning put down the controller and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
There was a bathroom in her room, so she tiptoed towards her room. Unexpectedly, when she turned the corner, she heard her aunt's voice downstairs: "By the way, I heard Nan Ning went to work at Zhenghe. Fu Jie, aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about?"
"Look at Shuangshuang, she insists on studying jewelry design. I think Xiaoyuan wants to study computer science and artificial intelligence in the future. Among the three children, only Nanning studies finance. Now she is interning at Zhenghe. Isn't it for the future? Isn't she the one who will inherit Yiyun's company in the future? You have worked hard for so many years to help him raise his daughter. It's hard enough. You have to think about your own children as well."
Fu Jie did not respond. Her aunt said, "Sister, that's not the case. Nan Ning is also a member of the Ye family."
"But after all, it wasn't my sister-in-law's own child." The eldest aunt sighed, "In the final analysis, it's all our brother's fault for being so foolish, and my sister-in-law cleaned up the mess for him and fed Nan Ning well. I hope Nan Ning will remember her kindness in the future."
Fu Jie smiled and said, "A harmonious family brings prosperity."
Ye Tingyuan waited for a long time before Ye Nanning came back to play games. He couldn't help but ask, "Why did it take so long? Are you constipated?"
Ye Nanning's mouth twitched, and she sat down to continue playing the game.
"Wait, I have a call." Ye Tingyuan suddenly picked up the phone, stood up and leaned on the bed, and answered the phone with a smile, "Hello, what do you want to talk to me about?"
I don't know what was said over there. Ye Tingyuan bounced his legs, covered his mouth and laughed, then put on a serious expression and replied: "Okay, you must come to my birthday. If you don't have a gift, I won't tutor you."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Tingyuan jumped a few times on the bed. Only when he saw Ye Nanning looking at him expressionlessly did he scratch his head awkwardly.
"Girlfriend?" Ye Nanning didn't want to ask for gossip, but the voice was obviously a girl's. She had never seen Ye Tingyuan so childish before, so she couldn't help but ask more.
She didn't expect to get an answer. As soon as she turned around, she heard Ye Tingyuan say, "Not yet, sister, can you help me make a decision?"
Ye Nanning was stunned for a moment.
Ye Tingyuan has been well taken care of since he was a child, and Fu Jie handles almost everything for him, so he rarely asks other people for help, let alone Ye Nanning, who does not seem to be very approachable.
"What's the idea?"
"Let me show you." Ye Tingyuan opened the album and showed her a photo. A girl turned around and seemed to find that she was secretly photographed. She was not angry and smiled sweetly at the camera. "How is it? Does it look good?"
"nice."
"How about letting her be my girlfriend?"
"You make your own decision. Only you know whether you like her or not."
"I'm not sure. I prefer a long-term relationship and don't want to be casual. If we can't be together in the future, I won't waste their time." Ye Tingyuan said.
Ye Nanning glanced at him in surprise: "You are quite mature."
"That's right." Ye Tingyuan snorted, showing the cuteness that he should have at his age. He was usually too serious at home. "Sister, there must be a lot of people chasing you. What do you think it feels like to be liked? You must have liked someone before, right?"
Ye Nanning was silent.
"Really? In the past or now?" Ye Tingyuan asked curiously, "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone else. This is a secret between the two of us. You can't tell my parents either, or they will say I'm not studying hard."
Ye Nanning glanced at him for a few seconds and whispered, "Now."
"Who is it? Do I know him?"
Ye Nanning shook her head, afraid that he would ask too many questions, and changed the subject: "What about you, who do you like? A classmate?"
"Yes, a transfer student." Ye Tingyuan smiled, "I can only tell you that her last name is Du. If you come to my birthday party next month, you might be able to see her in person."
What a temptation! If Ye Nanning wasn't a socially anxious person, she might have gone to take a look.
It’s just...what a coincidence, the person she likes also has the surname Du.
"Du Heruo! How many times have I told you not to hold a cell phone all day long!" Du Xiran yelled.
"What are you doing? I've finished my homework, why are you so angry?" Du Heruo replied.
"Are you sure you're done? Bring it to me for inspection." Du Xiran said.
Du Heruo hesitated for a few seconds and said, "There are a few difficult questions that I haven't done yet."
"If you don't know how to do it, won't you ask? Bring it here and I'll teach you."
"No, I found a young teacher to teach me." Du Heruo took his phone back to the room, leaving her alone outside to sulk.
It was so irritating. Every time the school was on holiday, it became Du Xiran's biggest headache. They always quarreled over trivial matters.
Sometimes when she was angry, she couldn't help but want to call her parents and send her rebellious child back to her hometown to study.
But when he thought about the level of education in his hometown, he had no choice but to keep Du Heruo in City B and spend money to send her to a private aristocratic school, hoping that she would have a bright future and see the world. So when Du Xiran saw her playing with her mobile phone, his blood pressure rose, and he automatically thought that this little girl was neglecting her studies again.
She told Zhang Mishuang about this, and Zhang Mishuang came over, cooked for the two sisters, and comforted her: "Why do you care about these things with her? Which child doesn't play with their mobile phone nowadays? Besides, she is so old and has her own world. Don't be too strict with her, or she will hate you."
"She still dares to hold a grudge against me? I'll break her legs for sure." Du Xiran said to the door.
"Are you willing to do that?" Zhang Mishuang pushed her towards the kitchen with a smile, "Come on, tell me what you want to eat tonight. I'll make it for you."
"Spicy chicken, chopped pepper fish head." Du Xiran ordered the dishes and sat on a high chair beside the kitchen, watching her cook. "You said that when we were rebellious before, we were not so disobedient, right?"
"That was before we had smartphones, so our ways of rebellion were different." Zhang Mishuang said while cutting vegetables, "You forgot that you were in a relationship when you were a senior in high school."
Du Xiran choked up and said, "Don't mention it. I'm about to vomit last year's New Year's Eve dinner."
"Is the shadow so big?" Zhang Mishuang said with a smile.
"Of course not. I just had such a short relationship and the experience was not good." Du Xiran curled his lips.
"You're not really not interested in men, are you?" Zhang Mishuang said with a smile.
Du Xiran shrugged: "I don't know, anyway, the thought of dating a man makes me very annoyed, it's better to make money."
Zhang Mishuang laughed loudly: "Okay, if you become a rich woman soon, I will dump my boyfriend and live with you."
"It's not impossible." Du Xiran also smiled, "Women understand women better. Maybe we can live happier together, right?"
"That's right." Zhang Mishuang laughed.
During the meal, Du Heruo came out of the room as if nothing had happened, still holding the test paper in his hand: "How do I do this question?"
Du Xiran put it on the table and started reading it while eating.
Du Heruo talked to Zhang Mishuang, and after discussing a few topics, he asked, "Sister, why haven't you figured it out yet? Are you not capable of it?"
"Who can't I blame? I just can't do two things at once. I'll calculate it for you after I finish my meal." Du Xiran put away the paper seriously and put it aside.
