Chapter 600: Confusion (7)
Qiao Xi walked down with a normal expression, chatting and laughing with others.
Yan Liang, who came down behind her, walked slowly towards Gan Youmeng's seat. Gan Youmeng was sitting next to Nan Xiangzhu, enjoying Nan Xiangzhu's service of picking up food and waiting to be fed.
I looked up and saw the man coming back.
She was so overwhelmed with joy that she soon smiled sweetly and waved to Yan Liang.
"Brother Yanliang, where did you go just now?"
The man had just walked to her seat when she immediately leaned over and hugged his arm, humming and questioning him in a baby voice.
It sounds more like acting like a spoiled child.
Nan Xiangzhu, who was picking up food for her, paused and subconsciously looked at Qiao Xi who was chatting with someone at another table.
...some are not very obvious.
But you could still see that the girl's lip was a little broken, but she was still smiling, as if she didn't care much about it. Nan Xiangzhu's eyes dropped down a little, lingering on Qiao Xi's shoulders and neck.
There was a light, inconspicuous red mark there.
Others who see it will probably just think it's a mark left by someone scratching their neck accidentally with a little force.
However.
Nan Xiangzhu watched Yan Liang go around to the back and go upstairs, and at that time the figure disappeared around the corner. Even with a quick glance, he recognized that it was Qiao Xi.
So these two just...
what happened?
He started to think and analyze these things for no reason, and even when Gan Youmeng wanted to hug Yan Liang's arm and act coquettishly, he didn't pay much attention to it.
"Children don't need to know about business matters."
What came from the other side was Yan Liang's happy low laughter. When Gan Youmeng was about to hug him, he directly pressed the other person's head to stop the action.
However.
But the man's expression and tone made it seem like he was doting on her and acting like a spoiled brat. This made Gan Youmeng's heart move slightly, and she felt that this action was too sweet!
Woo woo woo, she really likes Brother Yan Liang.
But, but I also really like Brother Xiangzhu, and Brother Jingze, who would help her play games and gain points to protect her...
Oh, she likes what to do.
Gan Youmeng lowered her head and shyly covered her blushing face. Her slightly trembling voice was full of undisguised shyness. Her soft and tender voice was delicate and lovable.
"Wu...Brother Yanliang bullied me."
This is of course not really bullying, but more like flirting.
But Gan Youmeng covered her face with her hands and looked aggrieved, as if Yan Liang had done something to her.
"Don't you still have Nan Xiangzhu with you? Let him comfort you."
Yan Liang released the hand that was pressing on her head with a smile, and glanced at Nan Xiangzhu, who was sitting next to Gan Youmeng and remained silent.
"According to the rules you set, Mengmeng, today is your time."
He said so.
She shrugged helplessly, and Gan Youmeng was stunned. Yes, Brother Xiangzhu was accompanying her today. But, but Brother Xiangzhu had grabbed the heroine's wrist before and left her like that.
She felt so wronged.
However, I can’t tell this to Brother Yan Liang. What if Brother Yan Liang also notices the heroine?
Now I can only be thankful that Brother Yan Liang hasn’t noticed the heroine yet.
but……
The heroine is now at another table next to her. If Brother Yan Liang continues to stay here, he will talk to the heroine sooner or later.
What if I was attracted to it like Brother Xiangzhu?
She didn't want to see this happen. She had finally changed her fate, how could this happen!
Having made up his mind, Gan Youmeng decided to send Yan Liang away first.
"Then Brother Yanliang, can you play with me next time? Mengmeng won't bother you today. Mengmeng will be good and stay with Brother Xiangzhu."
Yan Liang seemed a little surprised when he heard her words, but the man quickly agreed.
"Okay, I'll go over there first."
Naturally, he doted on Gan Youmeng unconditionally.
You have to maintain the image of loving the other person deeply, so naturally you won't refuse what the other person says.
When Gan Youmeng heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly smiled sweetly: "Then Mengmeng will go play with Brother Yanliang next time."
Gan Youmeng waved his hand.
She was always on edge, paying attention to Yan Liang, and realized that the boy would probably look at Qiao Xi when he turned around, so she didn't care about Nan Xiangzhu who was picking up food for her.
Gan Youmeng hurriedly stood up and blocked Qiao Xi's direction.
Yan Liang raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.
A barely perceptible dark color flashed across the man's eyes. He glanced at Qiao Xi's direction intentionally or unintentionally, then retracted his gaze and fell on Gan Youmeng, who was obviously a little nervous in front of him.
The girl standing in front of him.
She seemed to be uneasy because of his gaze, and the sweet smile on her face began to become a little unnatural.
at the same time.
Yan Liang also noticed that Gan Youmeng couldn't help but clench his fists, as if he was on guard against something.
And the direction she was blocking happened to be Qiao Xi's direction.
Are you concerned about Qiao Xi?
Yan Liang looked at Gan Youmeng like this, and this thought suddenly occurred to him. But when he put himself in her shoes, it made sense. It was probably Gan Youmeng's boring competitive spirit that was causing the problem.
After all, the protagonist of the banquet was indeed Qiao Xi.
The people surrounding her were attracted by the protagonist of the party.
Then there will definitely be a sense of disparity.
Yan Liang didn't care about this little thing. Gan Youmeng's emotions didn't matter to him, and he had already seen the person he wanted to find.
Privately, they would have more time.
Yan Liang left.
Qiao Xi was still moving among the crowd, and as if she had noticed something, she glanced at the man's back as he left.
Then she looked away.
Her gaze fell on Gan Youmeng, who seemed to have finally relaxed. After watching Yan Liang leave, she pulled out her chair and was about to sit back down.
However.
Qiao Xi was just about to look away when she suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be looking at her.
Very tacit understanding.
Her gaze shifted to the side and happened to meet Nan Xiangzhu's eyes as he was looking towards her.
only.
Noticing that the person looking at her was Nan Xiangzhu, she calmly turned around and stopped paying attention to that side.
The banquet is over.
With her fictional father helping her establish connections, Qiao Xi also made the acquaintance of many trustworthy partners in the Xi family's business dealings. Of particular note, two additional messages requesting to add her were particularly concerning.
Yan Liang could still understand it for now.
Nan Xiangzhu added her - just to dig up some things that had nothing to do with him?
If the one who came looking for him was An Xun.
Qiao Xi would openly admit what happened in the past, but the person who came to him was an outsider like Nan Xiangzhu who didn't know the specific situation. If he insisted on holding on to it, it would be like meddling in other people's business.
She did not accept the other party's friend request.
Just leave it there to dry.
After all, judging from the attitude she had shown before, she was disgusted with Nan Xiangzhu for holding on to this matter, so it was natural that she would not approve the friend request now.
She just returned to the Xi family.
There were still many things to familiarize herself with, and Qiao Xi was busy for several days.
Nan Xiangzhu waited for her friend request to be approved for several days, but there was no news. The friend request even expired due to timeout.
In Gan Youmeng's arrangement.
If it is not his turn, he will not meet or have any contact with others. This is mainly to avoid others feeling unfair.
Gan Youmeng treats everyone equally.
Nan Xiangzhu could understand her kindness, and he also knew that a girl as outstanding as Gan Youmeng would have no shortage of high-quality suitors.
But the long wait still made him feel a little anxious.
"Xiang Zhu, I haven't seen that little sister come to see you recently."
When his colleagues from the institute saw him leaving alone after get off work, they couldn't help but feel surprised.
In the past, there was always a little girl with twin ponytails and a cute Japanese-style skirt hanging around Nan Xiangzhu. She looked like a very sweet girl.
Everyone else in the institute was envious.
Seeing that the other person is so cute and dexterous, he often makes lunch boxes and sends them to me.
This kind of treatment must be from a girlfriend.
However, when Nan Xiangzhu was asked this question, he always denied it and didn't say much.
Even he himself doesn't know.
Who is he to Gan Youmeng?
"But Xiangzhu, although I'm not quite sure about your relationship, I still want to remind you."
The colleague walking side by side with him suddenly looked serious.
Nan Xiangzhu, who had been distracted by his phone, came to his senses when he heard the other party's words: "What?"
The colleague shrugged.
"For people like us, it's better to find mature peers."
He continued, "I think that little sister who's been clinging to you is a bit immature. There are some generation gaps that can't be bridged."
Nan Xiangzhu fell silent after hearing this.
Then, he closed his eyes and sighed slightly, looking as if he had a headache. He had no idea that the people around him actually viewed Gan Youmeng in this way.
This also made him feel quite helpless.
Nan Xiangzhu put his fist to his forehead, looking like he had a headache. He smiled bitterly and said, "The little sister you're talking about is actually 25 years old."
As soon as the words fell.
The air seemed to freeze, and there was silence for three seconds. Then, Nan Xiangzhu stared at his colleague beside him, his pupils shrinking slightly.
Then.
His expression began to lose control and turned into panic.
"W-what... twenty-five?!"
Please, he thought she was an underage teenage sister. The age gap was a bit too big, so he couldn't help but advise Nan Xiangzhu not to get too involved.
Now this... ?
Twenty-five years old?! I can't tell.
"What does she do for a living?" the colleague couldn't help but ask again. She is already 25 years old, so she should have her own things to do, right?
It's not such a coincidence every time.
He prepared his lunch box and went outside their research institute, specifically looking for Nan Xiangzhu.
The boy paused when he heard this, and narrowed his eyes behind the lenses.
"She doesn't have a job yet."
indeed.
Nan Xiangzhu had never heard Gan Youmeng mention anything about work. In fact, after getting to know her, he found out that Gan Youmeng was indeed unemployed.
Even if she is a college student who has just entered college.
Her family conditions were definitely better than most people's, and she had enough money to start her own business.
But Gan Youmeng is not very ambitious.
It seems that there is no such intention. A 25-year-old man lives like a 15 or 16-year-old girl. He likes to act coquettishly and likes cute things. He is also kind and loving, and likes to take care of small animals.
Maybe it’s because I’m protected too well at home.
It was such a pure and innocent girl who slowly attracted his attention.
But the colleague heard it.
However, he showed an expression of wanting to say something but stopping himself, as if he was observing Nan Xiangzhu's expression. As a friend, he still hesitated before speaking.
"I'm not saying anything, Xiangzhu, but if you're 25 and still don't have a proper job, you're probably going to be living off your parents."
He has a strong desire to survive.
After saying this, he immediately went on to explain: "I don't mean to belittle her. It's just my personal opinion. After all, everyone's lifestyle is different."
If Nan Xiangzhu really likes this.
He had nothing to say about that. How to live was other people's business, but he was still a young genius after all.
He didn't want to see Nan Xiangzhu fall too deeply.
In the end, he couldn't figure it out and got himself involved.
He had dated a girlfriend like this who loved to act coquettishly before. To put it nicely, she was a soft and sweet girl who only knew how to whimper and act coquettishly, but to put it bluntly,
It's purely about raising a daughter, like a giant baby.
It will feel fresh at the beginning.
He had to clean up all the mess afterwards, which made him act like a father at such a young age, and he had to insist on having cute dresses, beautiful things and so on.
Basically, there is only giving and no return.
Anyway, he doesn't want to have this wonderful experience again.
He was an experienced person, so naturally he wanted to persuade Nan Xiangzhu.
As he said this, he was also trying to give examples.
"You look pretty good, you can definitely find someone who's similar. Look for someone who's a good match, someone whose family is respectable. Ideally, a strong, independent woman with a stable job."
The colleagues next to me were chattering about it.
Nan Xiangzhu listened silently, but the figure that he had looked down upon and despised before inexplicably emerged in his mind.
A gentle smile gradually appeared on the woman's face.
It was just beginning to become clear when her shadow was quickly driven out of Nan Xiangzhu's mind.
The man's face darkened.
Thinking of that woman who played with other people's feelings at this time? For someone like this, no matter how outstanding she is, what's the point? Her character is simply not up to par.
He coldly interrupted his colleague next to him: "Stop talking nonsense, I'm not interested in her."
"ah?"
The colleague, who was speaking at the time, was interrupted and immediately confused. What had he said? What was he not interested in?
He was exactly as the rich sister described.
Is there anyone who isn't interested in rich women? As expected, having a wealthy family makes all the difference. Seeing Nan Xiangzhu quicken his pace, he quickly caught up.
"Hey, hey, wait for me."
"Don't be so heartless. Aren't rich sisters attractive? You should be able to meet a lot of people with your status, right? Otherwise... you can introduce any one to me?"
It's just a tentative proposal.
Who would have thought that Nan Xiangzhu's originally quickened pace would suddenly come to a halt at this moment. This immediately left the colleague bewildered, and before he could react, he could understand.
He then saw Nan Xiangzhu looking back with a gloomy face.
As if warning, he said, "Don't even think about it. That kind of person is not worth it at all."
This is a firm attitude.
For a moment, the colleague was a little confused. He stared blankly at Nan Xiangzhu walking away.
After coming to his senses, he touched his head.
Are you taking it so seriously? It's just a joke on the internet, but you take it seriously?
Alas, it seems geniuses can't surf the Internet.
