After lunch, Aunt Lan received a phone call from home and became very anxious. Qin Yan had just returned when Aunt Lan went up to explain the situation.
Aunt Lan's grandson fell and injured his leg while playing at school. His parents are at work, so there's no one to take care of him. That's why Aunt Lan has to take leave and go back home.
She was worried about Yun Nuan, so she hesitated for a moment. Yun Nuan looked at her gratefully and then smiled at Aunt Lan.
"Aunt Lan, things at home are more important. You can go back without worry. I will definitely take good care of myself."
Aunt Lan looked at Qin Yan with a worried expression. Qin Yan replied helplessly, "Go back without worry. I will keep an eye on her. If you need anything, just tell me."
Aunt Lan looked at the two of them gratefully, then went back to her room to pack her things before being escorted home by her bodyguard.
In fact, Aunt Lan's salary at the Qin family was more than that of her son and daughter-in-law, but her son and daughter-in-law always felt that being a maid for others was a shameful thing, and always wanted her to stay at home and take care of her grandson.
But they struggled to pay their mortgage and their grandson's tuition. Aunt Lan wasn't as picky as them, and she had an easy job at the Qin family's house. Mr. Qin was also very generous, so she had saved up several hundred thousand yuan. She could even build a small villa back in her hometown.
Her son and daughter-in-law were too embarrassed to ask her where she worked, and she was happy to relax. In the past, many people had come to her with gifts, wanting to meet Mr. Qin.
She rejected all of them. Although she wouldn't get anything good in return, Mr. Qin was her employer, and as long as her employer was satisfied, that was enough. She didn't rely on anyone else to pay her salary.
The grandson has been suffering with his son and daughter-in-law, and the two of them don't let her get involved in his affairs. Now that he's injured, his parents are always busy with work.
Aunt Lan left, leaving only Qin Yan and Yun Nuan in the villa.
The bodyguards had already disappeared, and even Assistant Wen left immediately after seeing the person off. Qin Yan looked her over and was quite satisfied with her outfit.
Anyone who didn't know her would think she was a rich young lady, especially since her complexion wasn't as pale as when they first met.
Did you have a good time shopping today?
Qin Yan casually asked
Yun Nuan turned on the TV on her own initiative. She had recently been watching an idol drama, and the various melodramatic scenes between the male and female leads shocked her values.
"It's not bad, thank you."
After speaking, she bowed deeply to the other person, then sat back down on the sofa to wait for the TV to start.
Qin Yan was stunned by her sudden movement.
What books have you been reading lately?
She fiddled with the hem of her skirt as she replied.
The book "Civilization and Etiquette" says that bowing expresses gratitude and respect; I am showing you respect.
Qin Yan shifted his wheelchair slightly and chuckled softly, "You read quite a wide variety of books, and you're quite polite too. Did you hear what Aunt Lan told you? Remember to take your medicine after dinner. Do you remember how many pills you take a day?"
The TV series had already started, and she watched it intently, her big, round eyes following the movements, her long eyelashes fluttering.
Qin Yan noticed the immense curiosity in her eyes, a curiosity about everything around her that she usually seemed unable to access. Could it be that the Yun family was abusing her?
Her personality has changed so drastically, she's completely different from the person described in the file. Oh, except for her temper, she's incredibly stubborn when she's angry.
"Okay, okay," she replied impatiently. Qin Yan wasn't usually this annoying, constantly nagging in her ear, and besides, they hadn't even eaten yet.
"I'm going upstairs to take a shower. Call me when it's time to eat."
As if on purpose, he parked his wheelchair right in the center of the television, completely blocking her view. Yun Nuan was furious and stepped forward to push his wheelchair away.
"I'll call you for dinner, you should go now."
The male and female protagonists are arguing, and both of them look bitter and resentful.
"Do you love me for who I am or for what I feel? Why can't I see how much you love me?"
The female lead loudly questioned the male lead, who looked very hurt. He hadn't expected the female lead to say such heartless things, but he was too lazy to explain.
It's like that kind of situation where those who understand don't need to ask, and those who don't understand don't need to ask. He thought the other person understood him very well, but he didn't expect that the person he loved most would be hurt the most.
Qin Yan knew he was doomed when he saw her mesmerized expression, but if he didn't let her watch, this little ungrateful girl would definitely throw a tantrum.
"Don't you two have mouths? I'm really angry."
Yun Nuan sat on the sofa and began to comment on the plot. No matter how angry she was, she continued to watch, occasionally offering precise critiques of the two characters.
As the TV episode ended and commercials began, she slumped back, suddenly remembering that she had bought Qin Yan a gift that day.
She jogged upstairs to her room, retrieved the box, and after confirming that it contained cufflinks, headed towards Qin Yan's room.
The door was ajar. She knocked lightly, but no one answered, so she called out again.
Her voice was soft, and all that could be heard was the sound of running water. She stepped inside. It was her first time in Qin Yan's room, which was similar to hers, except that the master bedroom was a bit larger.
Moreover, Qin Yan doesn't have any particular preferences, and the whole room is decorated in a dark color scheme, unlike the warm colors that Aunt Lan specifically chose for her own place.
"Why does it feel so cold?" she muttered to herself as she walked toward the sofa.
Qin Yan also had a row of shelves with some of his collected trinkets, clay sculptures, butterfly specimens, and a very special painting.
There were also porcelain items, chessboards, and quite a lot of other things. Yun Nuan took a few extra glances at each one, finding them all interesting.
The sound of water behind her subsided. She deliberately stood at the bathroom door to wait for someone, planning to watch TV as soon as possible after delivering the gift.
The sound of water stopped, replaced by the rustling of fabric. She stood there, inexplicably feeling a surge of nervousness. For no apparent reason, she lightly patted her cheek, exhaled, and pondered how to begin the conversation.
The doorway behind her slid open, and she looked up to see a collarbone dripping with water and exceptionally strong and powerful pectoral muscles.
Her skin was white, unlike Yun Nuan's pale white that seemed to never see the sun. It was a healthy, vibrant white, as if the hot water was too hot, and it even had a slight pinkish tinge.
Her gaze shifted upwards, noticing her prominent Adam's apple bobbing slightly, then her chin, her tightly pursed lips, her high, straight nose, her furrowed brows, and her hair dripping wet and undried.
A Qin Yan who stood up, looking like he could kill her with one punch.
Even from this angle, his face is still outrageously handsome, but how come he's so tall? He's not that short himself.
"Wow! Did you grow up on hormones?"
Her face was full of amazement and curiosity, which left Qin Yan, whose secret had been exposed, at a loss for words. He hadn't expected such a big surprise when he opened the door, but the other person didn't seem to care about this secret.
Qin Yan must be at least 1.85 meters tall, close to 1.9 meters. Yun Nuan looks like a dwarf standing in front of him, as his height completely blocks her view.
"I don't take hormones, but when did you get here and how long have you been watching?"
Qin Yan's expression was somewhat gloomy, his eyes slightly lowered, and he spoke in a deep voice. The current situation was a bit tricky. No one else knew that his leg was healed, which was also part of his plan. He needed to be weak enough to make the enemy lower their guard.
"I came to give you a gift, but your eyes tell me you're unhappy with me. Why?"
