Chapter 188: Though The Little One Looks Young, She’s Actually Grown Up
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Nan Yan furrowed her brow and fetched a hairdryer.
After drying her long hair, she lay down on the bed, ready to sleep.
However, her mind was uncontrollable, frequently revisiting the awl«vard scene from earlier.
It seemed like tonight, she wouldn’t be able to sleep…
Qin Lu emerged from the bathroom, covered in cold mist.
His short black hair clung to his head, and water droplets trickled down his chiseled profile.
He wasn’t wearing any clothes, only a bath towel wrapped around his slim waist.
Ignoring the water droplets on him, he took a cigarette from the coffee table, bit it, and lit it.
The room was left in darkness.
The glowing tip of his cigarette flickered in the obscurity.
Qin Lu dared not close his eyes.
Closing his eyes would mean reliving the unintentional sight he had seen. Though she appeared petite, the young girl had indeed become a grown woman.
He stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray, crushed it firmly, and then lit another one.
His eyes were like an abyss, exuding a chilling sense of dominance, almost palpable.
The cigarette butts in the ashtray accumulated, and Qin Lu’s emotions gradually calmed down.
After all, he had long harbored improper intentions towards her.
Today’s unexpected incident merely confirmed what he truly desired…
The next day, after a sleepless night, Nan Yan woke up early.
Old Madam Qin had stayed up late the previous night, and by this time, she would usually be awake. But today, there was no sign of her.
Not wanting to stay in her room, Nan Yan went outside to get some exercise, starting her morning jog in the garden.
She took her physical fitness seriously, dedicating an hour to exercise every morning, unless there were exceptional circumstances.
Qin Lu stood by the window, watching her jog from upstairs. He had initially thought about changing into sportswear and joining her for a run. However, he recalled the awkwardness from the previous night, and that thought dissipated.
He leisurely removed his tie, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, and walked out of the room with the tie in his hand.
Downstairs, a car slowly pulled into the yard. The driver’s side door opened first, and after the driver exited the car, he quickly went to the rear right side and opened the door.
“Miss Shiyu, we’ve arrived,” the driver said.
Qin Shiyu yawned as she got out of the car. After stretching, she was about to go into the house when she spotted Nan Yan jogging in the garden.
Nan Yan was dressed in a white sportswear ensemble, her long hair tied into a bun at her waist, giving her a refreshing appearance.
Due to the exercise, a thin layer of sweat glistened on her forehead, and her cheeks had a rosy blush.
She looked as alluring as a peach blossom, ethereal as a fairy, yet her expression remained detached and carried a natural air of aloofness.
Qin Shiyu widened her eyes, full of surprise, and pointed at Nan Yan. “Who is
The driver, seeing her reaction, explained, “That’s Miss Nan Yan, the young master’s friend. Madam Qin really likes her.”
Qin Shiyu, who had been in Europe for an exchange for the past three months, was unaware of recent developments in the family.
“She’s a friend of my big brother?” Qin Shiyu repeated incredulously, then muttered under her breath, “Is this some kind of joke…?”
Her big brother didn’t seem like the kind of person who would make friends!
And not to mention, a woman!
A beautiful woman! !!
Had his psychological condition somehow improved?
In any case, if her big brother was willing to make friends and even brought someone home, it was a good sign!
Thinking of this, Qin Shiyu was no longer tired. She rushed over to Nan Yan.
“Excuse me, please stop,” she said, standing in front of Nan Yan.
Nan Yan had already noticed her, but when it came to people she didn’t know, she usually didn’t bother.
She was planning to ignore her, but she unexpectedly ran over to stop her.
Nan Yan slowed down and jogged a few more steps, stopping in front of her.
She asked, her clear eyes devoid of emotion, “Is there something you need?”
Nan Yan:
Were all the people in the Qin family this enthusiastic? Qin Lu was like this, Old Madam Qin was like this, and now this Sister Qin who had suddenly appeared also seemed like this…
It seemed different from what she had imagined, a rigid and formal high -society family.
“Hello, I’m Nan Yan.” Nan Yan nodded in greeting.
Qin Shiyu was quite excited, not letting go of Nan Yan’s hand. “I’m nineteen this year and currently a freshman at Imperial Capital University. How about you?”
Nan Yan replied, “I’m eighteen and in my second year of high school.”
Qin Shiyu was instantly delighted. “So, are you planning to attend Imperial Capital University in two years? Then, you’ll be my junior!”
Nan Yan:
Sometimes she couldn’t understand why some people got so easily excited. Wasn’t this something unworthy of excitement?
But seeing her friendly smile, Nan Yan curved her lips slightly and replied, “I suppose so.”
She had already planned to attend Imperial Capital University, barring any unexpected circumstances.
“Do you still plan to continue your run? I won’t keep you, we can chat more later when you finish,” Qin Shiyu said as she let go of Nan Yan’s hand and took a step back.
Nan Yan stood still for a moment and then resumed her jog.
Qin Shiyu was no longer tired now; she had a smile in her eyes as she walked back to her room.
Qin Lu was sitting on the sofa in the downstairs living room, reading a French book.
“Big brother, I’m back!”
Qin Shiyu saw him and bounced over like a little frog.
“Stand up straight.”
Qin Lu cast an indifferent glance at her and immediately made her stand up straight when she was about to pounce on him.
However, with an unhappy pout, she said, “Big brother, I haven’t seen you for three months, and I’ve missed you!”
“You’re nineteen now, not nine,” Qin Lu reminded her with a tone that lacked enthusiasm, as he turned a page of his book.
Qin Shiyu rolled her eyes at him, feeling somewhat speechless.
Weren’t they siblings? He didn’t even allow her to hug him! Did he consider her a stranger?
“I think you’re going to spend your whole life alone.”
If he couldn’t even touch her, did he expect to touch other women?
This psychological condition seemed to show no signs of improvement at all.
Qin Lu raised his head, looking at her coolly.
Qin Shiyu stuck out her tongue and immediately fell silent. She was going to wait for Nan Yan to finish her run, so she decided to take out her phone and find something entertaining to pass the time.
The two siblings didn’t speak to each other.
INOC long alter, [Nan yan came DaCK Irom ner run.
Qin Shiyu was about to call her over to sit down when she saw her big brother stand up.
Qin Lu took a clean towel and walked over to Nan Yan.
Nan Yan looked at him calmly and accepted the towel, using it to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
The awkwardness from yesterday seemed to have disappeared, and the two of them were behaving as if nothing had happened.
At least on the surface, their interactions seemed normal.
Qin Lu went to the water dispenser, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to Nan Yan.
Nan Yan didn’t hesitate to accept it and took a sip.
Qin Shiyu watched the natural and intimate interaction between the two, completely bewildered…
