After hearing his words, Yun Nuan came out from behind Cheng Cheng, looked at him, and her palms were itching again. Could she hit Lin Qixiu together?
She was pondering this possibility. She wasn't afraid of Lin Song'an, but Lin Qixiu had certain moments that resembled Qin Yan—that aura of a superior that made him seem unapproachable. Yun Nuan clenched her fists, trying to restrain herself.
Lin Qixiu was about to speak when Yun Nuan glared at him and roared, "Shut up!"
This was her advice, and she couldn't help but want to raise her hand to hit him. If Lin Qixiu said anything more, she wouldn't consider whether she could afford to hit him.
"Hey, who's causing trouble on my turf? Let me see."
A group of people arrived at the coffee shop entrance, led by Xiao Yunli, the owner of the resort. He was then pushed aside, and Qin Yan quickly walked into the shop and stood in front of Yun Nuan.
Xiao Yunli straightened his clothes, gave an awkward smile, and silently complained to himself, "No one's hurt at all, what's the rush? He hasn't even finished putting on a show yet."
Lin Song'an turned around and saw so many people, and he got even angrier. His image! He quickly picked up a napkin from the table, wiped the water off his face, and tidied himself up.
Cheng Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qin Yan arrive and quickly gave him her seat. Yun Nuan pouted as soon as Qin Yan arrived and began to complain.
"Qin Yan, why are you taking so long? I've already finished fighting everyone!"
Qin Yan looked her up and down to see if she was alright, and found that she was fine, except that her palms were bright red. His eyes narrowed.
"What happened? Who did this?!"
He shielded the person behind him and looked at the two people opposite him. Lin Qixiu and Lin Song'an stood up. Lin Qixiu calmly greeted Qin Yan.
"I've long admired your name, Mr. Qin."
The handprint on Lin Song'an's face hadn't faded yet; it was still red and even more noticeable on his fair skin. Qin Yan didn't know why they were looking for Yun Nuan, but they had definitely upset her.
"Mr. Lin, there's no need for such formalities. Let's settle the score. You bullied my girlfriend and upset her."
"What are you saying? Which eye of yours saw us bullying her? I'm the one being bullied right now!" Lin Song'an couldn't stand watching him twist the truth.
Xiao Yunli stepped forward with his men, and spoke with a grin.
"Greetings, gentlemen. We were unaware that Mr. and President Lin had come to our manor. Please forgive any neglect we may have caused. But perhaps you've got it backwards? Two grown men being bullied by a woman? Don't try to fool me."
Because Xiao Yunli was interrupting, Qin Yan turned to look at Yun Nuan's hand and tenderly rubbed her palm.
"Does it hurt?" Yun Nuan shook her head. "No, it just felt a little numb, but it's fine now."
"Are you hungry? We'll go eat after we deal with them." Qin Yan said coldly. He was a little annoyed. He should have known better than to listen to Xiao Yunli's nonsense. He had endured not contacting anyone for so long, and now this had happened.
Yun Nuan said somewhat guiltily, "No need to punish them, they didn't do anything. Let's go eat first, this matter is a bit complicated, I'll tell you later."
Upon hearing her words, a fleeting emotion crossed Qin Yan's eyes. Lin Song'an and Lin Qixiu came here for Yun Nuan's sake. Why?
He was filled with doubts, but just then, Xiao Yunli said something to the other party, and Lin Qixiu and Lin Song'an calmed down and returned to their normal state.
Xiao Yunli dared not rashly suggest that the two of them join him for dinner; he was also unhappy that Yun Nuan had been bullied. However, since they were from S City, they still needed to maintain proper etiquette as they were from the capital.
"Well, Mr. Lin, we can have a proper chat another day. We'll be going now."
Xiao Yunli gave Qin Yan a wink, and Qin Yan nodded before preparing to leave with his men. If Qin Yan hadn't nodded, it was likely that he wanted to settle accounts.
Lin Song'an looked at the large group of people and not a single one of them invited the two of them to have dinner together. He couldn't help but curse inwardly that these people had no manners at all. He hated these people from S City!
Xiao Yunli and the others dared not invite him; Qin Yan's face was already so sour, they weren't going to be so blind as to invite trouble.
------------------------------
Everyone had left. Lin Qixiu said coldly, "Go back." Lin Song'an was holding his phone, checking his condition, and stared blankly at his older brother for a moment.
"Go back...where? Back to the capital?"
Lin Qixiu was furious today and didn't even want to talk to Lin Song'an anymore. If Lin Song'an hadn't rashly come over to stop them, would the scene have been so ugly? He still doesn't have any self-awareness.
He was actually somewhat relieved that Yun Nuan had slapped him; she deserved to be taught a lesson.
Lin Qixiu left, and Lin Song'an quickly chased after him, afraid that his brother would leave him in S City and go back by himself. That wouldn't do; he didn't like S City and wouldn't stay there.
Inside the private room, Chu Bai was already ordering food. He had just come from the laboratory and arrived here, just in time for lunch.
"Dr. Chu, you're here."
Yun Nuan greeted the other party, and Chu Bai put down the menu and waved to him, "Now that the lab stuff is done, I have to come to the welcome dinner to compensate me."
Come, sit down, order whatever you'd like to eat.
Yun Nuan happily pulled Qin Yan to sit down, and followed him to study the menu. Qin Yan took a hot towel to wipe her hands and reminded her...
"I can't eat anything too spicy."
Chu Bai laughed when he heard his voice, "Even I, a doctor, forgot, how come you remember so well? Yun Nuan, did you hear that? You can't eat spicy food, stop staring at the stir-fried pork with chili peppers."
"Sigh, being a person is so hard," she lamented. After ordering two dishes, she handed the menu to someone else, hoping to avoid seeing or worrying about the food.
Her hands felt warm after being wiped, and the bowls on the table were also scalded. A cup of hot tea was poured in front of her. Qin Yan was talking to someone with her head turned to the side, while Yun Nuan's bowl and chopsticks were placed in her hands.
The others wanted to ask about the gossip surrounding the two, but when they looked at Qin Yan, they didn't dare to ask and could only secretly observe his actions. Aside from the initial greeting when Qin Yan introduced Yun Nuan, they didn't talk about anything else.
Most people are curious about Yun Nuan. What kind of woman is she that makes Qin Yan willingly do anything for her and protect her so tightly?
None of the gossip in the industry reached Yun Nuan's ears, let alone reached her.
"I heard that Miss Yun is a top student at S University. May I ask what her major is?"
The man in the white suit asked the question. He was asked by someone else; his sister insisted that he come today to learn about Yun Nuan.
Yun Nuan replied calmly
"From the archaeology department."
The man was silent for a moment. "Uh, archaeology department, huh? That's pretty good, really good." His knowledge of the department was limited to news reports about unearthed artifacts or auction listings.
"Does it require digging? Is it difficult?"
Yun Nuan gave a formulaic, slight smile. "It's alright."
