Chapter 171: Playing the Emotional Card

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Since they’ve already met, it can’t be just that. They should have mentioned what happened a while ago.”

Shen Yanqing mentioned it vaguely.

Nan Ge had an epiphany.

How awkward would it be for Nan Zhe and Qi Yan to meet? However, awkwardness aside, if the two of them had already seen each other, it was impossible for them not to talk. Then, the matter of the confession might be mentioned.

“Perhaps.” Shen Yanqing looked at the corner where Nan Zhe had disappeared and chuckled. “Their relationship needs to be redefined.” “Are you serious?”

“Doesn’t this explain his abnormal behavior yesterday?”

Time passed minute by minute. Shen Yanqing silently helped her peel the pistachio nuts, giving her enough time to ponder. When he was almost done, he placed the pistachios on a small plate in front of her and slowly spoke.

“However, your brother didn’t take the initiative to mention it. There must be something else going on. Don’t ask first, in case he takes advantage of the situation to scold you again. When he can’t take it anymore, he’ll tell you.” Shen Yanqing already knew the Nan siblings very well.

Nan Ge looked at him and thought about his words carefully. She nodded seriously. “You make sense.”

With this “advisor” around, Nan Ge was confident of winning. This was the first time she had fought such a rich battle.

Just as Shen Yanqing had said, Nan Zhe took the initiative to call her within three days.

At the Huai City University library.

When she received Nan Zhe’s call, Nan Ge was about to leave.

She hurriedly packed her things and went out to answer the call.

“What is it?”

For the past few days, Nan Ge had been waiting for him to take the initiative to come to her door. She knew that he had a favor to ask of her, so her tone was different from usual.

Nan Zhe did not care much about her tone. “Are you done with school?” “I just came out of the library. Why are you looking for me?”

Although she had not taken the initiative to contact Nan Zhe after returning to school recently, she had been observing Nan Zhe’s every move, such as his WeChat Moments.

Nan Zhe’s WeChat Moments were not as active as hers. He posted on WeChat once a month. They were even more punctual than a woman’s menstrual cycle.

Moreover, the style of his WeChat Moments was unpredictable.

However, if they were really in a relationship, based on her brother’s character, he could not possibly not post anything, right?

He was not someone like Shen Yanqing who did not post on his Moments..

Thinking that Shen Yanqing had yet to officially announce his relationship on his WeChat Moments, Nan Ge pursed her lips and fell into deep thought.

Nan Zhe gave a long speech, but there was no response at all. If not for the fact that he could hear some noise on her side, he would have thought that this girl had hung up on him.historical

“Hello? Nan Ge?”

He called her name a few more times but to no avail. He slowly exhaled, as if he was gathering strength. “Nan Youyou, are you dead?!”

‘ Nan Ge relaxed and quickly brought the phone to her ear. “Huh? What?”

On the other side, Nan Zhe suppressed his temper and took a sip of tea. He did not like to drink this thing. However, when he came to the old residence to eat, there was only a pot of Chinese tea that the butler had just made.

‘You didn’t listen to a single word I said to you just now, right?” Nan Ge paused and asked him, “Did you talk to me just now?” “..” Nan Zhe closed his eyes and silently cursed. “No.”

“What were you thinking just now?”

“Me?” Nan Ge did not hide it. “I was wondering if dating should be announced on WeChat.” “Didn’t you send it?”

“I did.”

“Huh? When did this happen? Why didn’t I know?” Nan Zhe really had no impression of it.

Although Nan Ge often posted on her WeChat Moments, he probably did not leave out any content. Even though he did not like her posts often, he would comment on almost every post and criticize them.

Has she officially announced her relationship yet?

Nan Ge seemed to have just recalled the matter. Her voice was very soft. “At that time, you didn’t agree with the two of us dating, so I blocked you, Yu, and the others.”

Anyone that might inform Nan Zhe had been “sent to prison” by her.

Nan Zhe,

He did not want to scold anyone today, so he changed his target and planned to attack Shen Yanqing. “Then did he block me too?”

“No, he didn’t post anything.”

Shen Yanqing’s WeChat Moments was too clean. The only unusual content was the photo of the two of them that he had posted at the last concert.

However, after that, he did not post anything.

Looking at it now, it looked more like an official announcement, but they were not together yet.

“Is this very important?” Nan Zhe felt that this was a small matter and did not want to continue discussing this with her.

“Not important? Brother, if you’re in a relationship, wouldn’t you post something on your Moments to celebrate?”

“No,” he answered without hesitation. After a pause, he added, “I would make ten posts.”

Nan Ge choked. Was he crazy?

However, this conversation was not meaningless. At least she knew that if her brother was in a relationship, he would tell the world with great fanfare.

So, they weren’t together?

Was his abnormal behavior because he had been severely hurt again? Yes. The last time he confessed, he was rejected. He brought her a new car and even bought her a set of jewelry.

No way. Did he get dealt with yet another blow?

Although the conversation subject had deviated from Nan Zhe’s path at first, fortunately, it turned back in the end.

This was what he wanted to talk to Nan Ge about today.

“When you saw Qi Yan the other day, did she tell you that she liked me?”

So he was here to get information. After holding it in for so many days, was he unable to control himself now?

“What do you want me to say? I promised her not to tell you.”

Nan Zhe said, “Nan Ge, we’re biological siblings.”

Alright, he was starting to play the emotional card.

She could resist the temptation of Nan Zhe using money to bribe her, but she could not stand it when this person used the emotional card.

Nan Ge did not continue walking. She found a chair and sat down, planning to fight a long battle with him.

“Brother, I think integrity is important. Instead of asking me, you might as well ask Sister Qi Yan directly.”

Nan Zhe was understanding and did not pester her. “Alright, I understand what you mean.”

Hearing this, Nan Ge heaved a sigh of relief. She did not expect it to be settled so easily. “I’m glad you..”

Before she could finish her sentence, a sigh came from the other end of the phone. “You want to cut ties with me.”

“She didn’t say if she liked you or not, okay? It’s just.. Sigh.” Nan Ge was in a dilemma. “In my opinion, she should have feelings for you. I feel that it seems she’s bogged down by a lot of concerns.”

“Such as?”

Nan Ge pondered for a few seconds and replied, “For example, when Shen Yanqing and I decided to be together, we didn’t have a lot of concerns. Since we liked each other, we got together. Of course, it’s not that we were impulsive. It’s just that..

“Sister Qi Yan is too sober and rational..”
