Marcus nodded, “Mr. Qin, rest assured, I will relay your words to Alice exactly as you said.”
Qin Lu nodded in gratitude, “Thank you.”
“Thank you for your generous hospitality, Mr. Qin. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave,” Marcus said.
Marcus was finding it difficult to maintain his composure, not wanting to stay with Qin Lu any longer.
Mainly, he feared that Qin Lu would continue asking him about Alice.
For almost two months, he had heard nothing from Alice, and the laboratory explosion had made him suspect she might have been inside.
But Xi Shijin claimed that there was no one inside during the explosion.
Moreover, he discovered that Xi Shijin had erased all traces of Alice’s existence, and the outside world had no knowledge of her!
He knew there was definitely a secret here, but despite his discreet investigations, he had found no clues.
Afraid of alerting Xi Shijin, he had no choice but to temporarily let it go.
He had no idea why Qin Lu was looking for Alice, but whatever the reason, he wouldn’t get the chance to contact her again. He just needed to reply in a couple of days, declining the request.
Qin Lu stood up, “Since Mr. Marcus has things to attend to, I’ll walk you out.”
“No need, really.” Marcus quickly waved his hand, “I can leave on my own.”
“How can that be? Mr. Marcus is our esteemed guest; it wouldn’t be right to let you leave on your own,” Qin Lu said, his lips curving into a faint smile, making a gracious and elegant gesture, “Mr. Marcus, please don’t be so polite with me.”
Marcus:
Who wants to be polite with him?
He just didn’t want to stay with Qin Lu anymore, afraid that he would keep asking questions!
But since he was being so insistent on seeing him off, he couldn’t refuse.
Wu Yue saw that the Young Master wanted to personally escort Marcus, so he discreetly went outside to settle the bill and didn’t interfere further.
Qin Lu and Marcus walked outside at a leisurely pace.
As they passed by the private room where Nan Yan was, coincidentally, the door was open.
Cheng Yanzhao opened the door, followed by Tao Qingming, and Nan Yan was behind them.
If it were any other time, Qin Lu wouldn’t even pause, he would just walk past them. But now, he found himself standing outside the private room, facing
Nan Yan.
Seeing Qin Lu outside, Nan Yan’s mind went blank.
First thought — What is he doing here?
Second thought — She’s in trouble now…
Is there anything more embarrassing than having a lie exposed in public and getting caught on the spot?
At least, she couldn’t think of anything right now.
“Big Brother…” Trying to take the initiative and seek leniency, she quickly called out in a meek voice.
Qin Lu pressed his tongue against his cheek, giving a silent mocking smile. His deep black eyes seemed to be tinted with ink, “Little one, you’re having beef noodles here?”
“Big Brother, I was wrong.” Nan Yan lowered her head, showing a very apologetic attitude, “I didn’t mean to deceive you.”
Tao Qingming, Cheng Yanzhao, and even Marcus, seeing this scene, were a bit stunned.
Tao Qingming naturally knew Qin Lu.
He also knew that there had never been any women around him, except for Old Madam Qin and his mother.
But judging by his attitude towards Nan Yan, it was evident that they knew each other and had a good relationship.
“Mr. Qin, if you have something to attend to, I can leave on my own,” Marcus felt a sense of relief.
He actually hoped that Qin Lu had some business and couldn’t see him off, so he could leave on his own.
Nan Yan finally noticed that Marcus was here…
Why would he come here?
Nan Yan was about to say something instinctively.
But then she realized that she was no longer herself; she had a new identity and had to start over.
She couldn’t acknowledge Marcus now.
Qin Lu smiled gently, “Mr. Marcus, please wait for me for two minutes.” That tone made it hard to refuse.
Marcus really wanted to leave on his own, but when facing Qin Lu, he could only wait.
“Alright…” Marcus rubbed his forehead and reluctantly agreed.
Qin Lu turned his gaze back to the girl and asked in a mellifluous low voice,
“You came here today?”
Nan Yan nodded, “Yes.”
“When are you leaving?”
“Tomorrow.”
It was Monday, and she had classes to attend.
Qin Lu calculated, and he couldn’t make it in time.
Even if he worked all night to handle things, he still wouldn’t make it by tomorrow.
Temporarily giving up the idea of going back with her, he asked again, “Where are you staying tonight?”
Nan Yan didn’t hide anything and said obediently, “I’m staying at Longqiu Villa with Mr. Tao.”
“Grandma Qin really misses you; as soon as she came back, she kept saying she wanted to go to Jin City to find you. How about accompanying her tonight?” Qin Lu’s voice was unusually gentle, and he showed great patience.
Cheng Yanzhao couldn’t help but take another look at him.
This side of Young Master Qin was rare.
After all, no matter where Qin Lu appeared, he always had a cold and imposing demeanor, the kind that made people submit with just one glance.
What was his relationship with Nan Yan?
Nan Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then, under Oin Lu’s gaze, she nodded, “Alright.”
Qin Lu reached out and ruffled her head, “Tonight, I’ll come to Longqiu Villa to pick you up.”
“Yes.”
After settling things with Nan Yan, Qin Lu turned his gaze to Tao Qingming and Cheng Yanzhao, nodded slightly without saying much, and left with Marcus.
Nan Yan stared at Marcus’s retreating figure, feeling a surge of emotions that she couldn’t control.
Soon, she suppressed it again.
It wouldn’t be long.
They would have a chance to meet again…
Although Tao Qingming and Cheng Yanzhao were curious about the relationship between Nan Yan and Qin Lu, they were polite and didn’t ask.
Cheng Yanzhao drove and took them back to Longqiu Villa.
After they got out of the car, he once again expressed the gratitude of the Tao family to Nan Yan.
Nan Yan casually replied, “This is what a doctor should do.”
Tao Qingming chuckled, “Nan Yan has always been like this. Once you get to know her better, you’ll find that she appears cold but has a warm heart.” Cheng Yanzhao nodded understandingly and smiled warmly, “I see.”
“I might have been too rigid with the formalities; Miss Nan is more relaxed.”
Nan Yan:
After returning to the villa, Nan Yan felt apologetic and said, “Elder Tao, I’m sorry to have troubled you.”
Tao Qingming quickly waved his hand, “No problem at all. It’s good that you have a place to stay. It was my mistake for not asking clearly before. If I had known that you knew Qin’s family, I wouldn’t have taken this task and let you stay with me.”
“But for tomorrow’s flight…”
“I’ll leave with you.”
“Okay.”
Tao Qingming nodded, “Then you wait for a while. Young Master Qin will come to pick you up, and you can go with him.”
“Alright.” Nan Yan responded calmly.
While waiting, she logged into the game and teamed up with An Xiran’s team.
Around 8 0’clock, Tao Qingming came over and said, “Little friend Nan, your brother is here to pick you up.”
An Xiran: “Yan Yan, who’s this brother?”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
