Chapter 90 Chapter 090 Your sister really likes me...
It was rare to see Yan Nanxing so vulnerable. The other party was obviously stunned. The noise continued for a while, and finally there was the sound of a door closing. The background noise suddenly disappeared, and Nan Fei's voice rang out: "What happened?"
"Did I disturb you at work?" Yan Nanxing realized belatedly that Nan Fei had probably left the crowd and might still be busy at this hour. He suddenly felt a little soft-hearted. "I'm fine, it just feels like we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"It's been less than a week since we last separated." Nan Fei also smiled, "I have two days off this week."
Nan Fei's concert entered the final preparation stage, and the work was getting busy day by day. All the staff were on high alert, so Yan Nanxing did not disturb them.
Even the chat time was fixed, so it was hard not to think too much when a phone call came out of nowhere.
But Nan Fei was very considerate. He didn't ask too many questions and just comforted Yan Nanxing with a few words. Yan Nanxing quickly calmed down.
It's no big deal. We live in a free society now. No matter how hard he resists, the old man can't do anything to him. And he's even being pretentious.
Yan Nanxing's mood returned to normal. Someone on the other end was urging him to come back. Nan Fei answered but did not hang up the phone. His silence showed that he was still worried about Yan Nanxing's condition.
He chuckled softly, "Work is important. I'll wait to see you on the weekend."
The person on the other end reluctantly ended the call.
The mobile phone interface jumped back to the chat box, but Yan Nanxing's mood had improved a lot. He suddenly felt that what happened just now was not so urgent. He would just take one step at a time and see what happens.
He glanced at the time and it happened to be Friday. After resolving this matter tomorrow, he could return to Huahai and meet Nan Fei easily.

The next morning, Yan Nanxing was woken up early. The servant knocked on the door and was met with a face that was obviously unhappy: "It's only six in the morning."
The servant lowered his head and said, "The master has hired a stylist, and he arrived early this morning."
Only then did Yan Nanxing realize that the house was decorated everywhere. It seemed that they were going to meet guests today, so they made such grand preparations and didn't let him off either.
Tsk, if you don’t know, you would think he is celebrating his birthday with such a big fuss.
As for his styling, Mr. Yan gave very careful instructions, from clothing to makeup, everything was decided, leaving no chance to ruin the impression on the customer.
Hearing the stylist's words, Yan Nanxing sneered. The old man really thought too much. He also valued his reputation, so there was no need to resort to tricks here.
It had been a long time since Yan Nanxing had put on a formal men's suit, and he felt a little uncomfortable. After finishing the whole process, he glanced at the mirror and reluctantly gave an evaluation: "It's okay, not ugly."
The old man's aesthetic is too fashionable, but fortunately he has a good foundation, so it's not too inconsistent.
But this humble and polite dress... is very suitable for Nan Fei.
Time was very tight, so Yan Nanxing went downstairs immediately after finishing his work. When he came to the first floor and saw the decoration of the hall and the yard outside, he realized that something was wrong.
This feeling of something being off made him, when he first met Old Man Yan, not to challenge him, but to question him: "Isn't it your seventh birthday? What kind of drama is this going on today?"
I didn't notice it when I came back yesterday, but now I realize that every corner has been decorated. The colors are festive but not too exaggerated. Anyone passing by can see that good things are about to happen to this family.
Old Master Yan was greeted like this so early in the morning and couldn't help but get annoyed: "Isn't it that I only deserve a birthday banquet?"
Later, the butler added an explanation: "The master has just recovered from an acute illness, so he invited some old friends to get together and hold a small banquet."
This doesn't seem like a small banquet.
Yan Nanxing didn't say this directly, for fear that the old man would get angry again, so he could only smile politely.
"Don't think I don't know. Why are you saying bad things about me again?" Old Master Yan shook his head and nodded at him. "Let's go. I'm going out to meet the guests."
After learning the purpose of this banquet, Yan Nanxing felt much more relaxed. Compared to his initial idea of directly confronting the Xing family, Old Man Yan finally chose a more decent way. With other guests as a cover, the elders of the two families were somewhat reluctant to talk about that topic directly.
But this gathering had some purpose. As expected, the Xing family came very early. Coincidentally, a letter had arrived, so Yan Nanxing accompanied the old man to go out to greet them and met Xing Sheng and his group at the gate.
Three or four people from the Xing family came, carrying a bunch of gifts, which showed that they had put a lot of thought into it. Yan Nanxing didn't know many of them except Xing Sheng, but he quickly started chatting with Old Man Yan. They were probably senior members of the Xing family, and it was reasonable for them to show up.
Among them was a tall, pretty woman who had remained silent the entire time. After the elders exchanged a few words, they brought her before them. "This is the second son's daughter, the one you mentioned to me, old man. Her name is Xing Wan. Wanwan has come to say hello to Old Man Yan."
Xing Wan stepped forward obediently, her smile and posture perfectly balanced: "Hello, Grandpa Yan, I wish you a long and healthy life."
After saying this, she stopped talking. One of her uncles laughed and explained for her: "The child is introverted and not very good at speaking."
Old Master Yan didn't mind and waved his hand, saying, "She's still young. I remember this girl hasn't graduated yet, right?"
Xing Wan replied: "I'm in my second year of graduate school."
He is really young, four years younger than Yan Nanxing.
The two elders exchanged glances, and Old Man Yan spoke up: "I won't restrict you. It just so happens that my boy is about your age. Let him take you around the yard."
Yan Nanxing sneered, but out of politeness and to save face for his family, he didn't say anything unpleasant.
But this girl was just left to him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. As the others were about to go to the main hall to drink tea and chat, Xing Sheng fell to the end and said to Yan Nanxing, "Please take care of her."
Yan Nanxing's eyes moved slightly, and then he smiled and said, "A guest is a guest, it's my duty."
Regardless of anything else, since he had agreed, Yan Nanxing had no choice but to take Xing Wan for a walk in the yard.
This girl was indeed as quiet as others praised her to be. Without saying a word, she just followed Yan Nanxing. The two of them walked around the waterside corridor, still without communicating at all.
This companionship was a bit tiring, so Yan Nanxing took her to a pavilion to sit down and said bluntly, "There's no one here. I want to tell Miss Xing something from my heart. You probably know why I'm here, but I don't intend to fulfill this promise. It's not good for us. What do you think?"
Xing Wan was silent for a moment, then replied softly, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
"For someone of my status, I will eventually have to go out for marriage. Mr. Yan is a handsome man with a great reputation. I would rather choose you than anyone else."
"Are you kidding me?" Yan Nanxing said self-deprecatingly, "Then Miss Xing, do you know that I only like men?"
Hearing this, Xing Wan looked surprised and even laughed: "That's why I feel that choosing you is the most reassuring."
Yan Nanxing's attitude gradually turned cold.
Although she seems to be well-behaved and has no opinion, it turns out that she does have her own ideas.
Yan Nanxing continued to dissuade her from thinking: "To be honest, I already have a lover. Not only will I not agree to a marriage, I will not even agree to a marriage with your Xing family."
Xing Wan was still laughing: "Who knows?"
In fact, from the words Xing Sheng left behind, Yan Nanxing understood that this marriage was just an attempt to make amends and it didn't have to succeed.
But as luck would have it, Miss Xing seemed to take it seriously.
The negotiations failed, and Yan Nanxing had nothing to say to her. After a cup of tea, he made an excuse to go out to entertain guests, but Miss Xing followed him relentlessly. Her soft yet firm words made it difficult for him to say anything harsh, so he could only let her do what she wanted.
Yan Nanxing was so angry that he leaned over and typed messages on his phone to accuse Xing Rui.
[Your cousin was tricked into marrying you, did you know about this?]
Xing Sheng is really good at annoying me. He's killing two birds with one stone, trying to please my old man while causing trouble for me.
[Now I’m in big trouble. What should I do if your sister really likes me?]
Xing Rui kept outputting, and finally sent a question mark emoticon.
Well, it seems he knows nothing about it.
In a short while, the two of them arrived at the gate of the compound. They were just looking for an excuse to leave, but they didn't expect that someone would actually come.
Yan Nanxing tidied himself up and walked to the door to greet him, but he didn't expect to see someone unexpected.
"Grandpa Lou, it's been a long time since we last met." Yan Nanxing stepped forward respectfully and shook Lou Lao's hand. "I didn't know you were here today."
This was a real surprise. Yan Nanxing had always been very respectful to Ms. Lou Jing and her family. Mr. Lou was humorous, witty and approachable. I haven't seen him since we last met, and I feel a little nostalgic.
The person standing next to him, holding gifts in both hands, was Nan Fei.
Yan Nanxing's eyes lit up slightly, but with their elders present, they didn't want to show it too obviously. He only stepped forward and took half of the things Nan Fei was carrying, while smiling and welcoming the two of them into the house.
Turning around, she saw Xing Wan coming forward, seemingly wanting to help. Yan Nanxing's alarm bells went off, and she immediately said, "Miss Xing, please go in and sit down. It's not right to ask a guest for help."
Nan Fei saw all of this strange behavior. He was slightly puzzled and turned to look at Yan Nanxing, expecting an explanation.
Unexpectedly, what came first was Xing Wan's flattery: "We are all family, no need to be polite."
A family?
The smile on Nan Fei's face gradually faded.
He didn't know that the Yan family had a second young lady.
Yan Nanxing was even more angry and laughed. Just now he was very well-behaved in front of the elders, but now he was putting on airs. Before this person could say anything more outrageous, Yan Nanxing hurriedly interrupted: "Although Xing Rui and I have a good relationship, it's not to the extent that you treat me like a brother. Miss Xing, this is the first time we meet today. You are too polite."
After quickly explaining it in front of Nan Fei, Yan Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief, but they overlooked one point: Mr. Lou was still present.
"The Xing family, the only prestigious Xing family in Huayang, is that one." Mr. Lou had seen a lot of things, and with just a few words, he guessed what had happened between the two families. With a simple sentence, he turned the situation around, "They're all the same age. Why don't Miss Xing get to know my Nan Fei?"
Yan Nanxing:?
Nan Fei: "Grandpa...are you kidding me?"
What is going on?
Xing Wan was stunned for a moment, her eyes met Nan Fei's for a few seconds, and then she smiled sweetly: "Grandpa is right, I don't even know your title yet."
Yan Nanxing: ...
No, miss, you are not picky at all?
These words scared Yan Nanxing so much that he instinctively grabbed Nan Fei's empty hand.
This scene was also seen completely by Xing Wan.
Her expression was a little subtle, and after a brief thought, she showed a meaningful smile.
