Is this casual head pat really just an impulsive gesture?

Thinking about how she had patted Lin Zhiyan’s head before and now feeling Qin Lu patting her head, her expression became a bit indescribable.

“Yan Yan, who’s here?” Old Madam Qin’s voice came from the dining room. “Is it Ah Lu?”

Nan Yan came back to her senses and replied, “Brother is here.”

The portion of the food sent from the hotel was quite generous, enough for Qin Lu to join in too.

However, before long, the doorbell rang again.

Qin Lu looked towards the direction of the door and asked, “Is your Fourth Brother here?”

“Probably,” Nan Yan replied.

Knowing that there weren’t many people on her side, only about four or five,

Qin Lu said, “I’ll go and open the door.”

Nan Yan returned to the doorway once again.

Opening the door, the first thing presented to her was a bouquet of flowers.

“Surprise Shen Junqing’s voice, luxurious yet lazy, sounded pleasant to the ears.

Nan Yan paused for a second, looking at the large bouquet of flowers in front of her before shifting her gaze to him.

In his hands, he also held an exquisitely packaged gift box.

“Sis, surprised by the surprise?” Shen Junqing smiled charmingly and directly stuffed the large bouquet into her arms, placing the gift on top of the bouquet.

Then, in a very natural manner, he entered the apartment and even closed the door behind him.

Nan Yan placed the flowers on the cabinet near the door and felt somewhat puzzled. “Third brother, why are you giving me a gift out of the blue?”

“After successfully acquiring that piece of land, isn’t it worth celebrating? Shen Junqing straightforwardly approached her, nonchalant yet not provoking any dislike, and put his arm around her shoulder. “Come on, I’m treating you today. Order whatever you want.”

Having successfully obtained the land in the western part of the city, Shen Junqing was indeed quite happy.

Normally, he would gather with his friends to celebrate.

But this time, he just wanted to come and find Nan Yan.

“You’re a bit late; we were just about to eat…” Nan Yan calmly said, “How about you join us for dinner?”

Her words were just a polite gesture.

After all, she had already said “we,” indicating that there were other guests on her side.

According to her expectations, Shen Junqing would definitely not stay for dinner.

Honestly, she didn’t want Shen Junqing and Qin Lu to meet in her place.

Whatever they did privately was none of her business, but she didn’t want to witness their confrontational encounters every time she was present.

However, just as she finished speaking, she heard Shen Junqing’s straightforward response, “Sure.”

man yan?

Why is everyone not following the script?

It’s truly maddening…

Qin Lu, who had been waiting for Nan Yan and her Fourth Brother to enter, put down his chopsticks and came out.

Only then did he realize that the person who came was not An Xiran but Shen Junqing.

On the cabinet at the entrance, there was an eye-catching bouquet of flowers and a gift box.

Shen Junqing even affectionately wrapped his arm around Nan Yan’s shoulder, his smile radiant.

Seeing this scene, Qin Lu’s eyes darkened.

There was a hint of coldness in his aura.

“Third Young Master Shen, why are you here?” Qin Lu’s voice lacked warmth, devoid of any temperature.

“Oh, Young Master Qin, you’re here too.” Shen Junqing smiled devilishly. “I came to see my little sister. Is that not allowed?”

Nan Yan facepalmed.

It’s coming, it’s coming!

The clash begins again!

Afraid that the two of them would start arguing, Nan Yan quickly interrupted them and said calmly, “Let’s eat first. The dishes will get cold if we don’t.”

Qin Lu nonchalantly glanced at Shen Junqing and then indifferently replied, “Let’s eat first.”

They were already inside, so there was no way she could kick them out.

Old Madam Qin looked at Shen Junqing, who entered with Nan Yan, and then glanced at her grandson.

She didn’t quite understand what was going on.

Wasn’t this Nan Yan’s brother?

Why did her grandson seem to have such strong animosity towards him?

“You guys can sit first; I’ll cook a couple more dishes.”

The food sent from the hotel was originally meant for three people.

But with four people, it was definitely not enough.

Shen Junqing lazily suggested, “Don’t bother with that. How about we go out to eat? I’ll treat.”

“Wasting food is shameful.” Nan Yan had already skillfully put her apron on.

“Just two home-cooked dishes. It’ll be quick. You guys can start eating.”

Saying that, she went into the kitchen.

The two-bedroom apartment was not large, and the kitchen was quite small. The dining room and the kitchen were separated by a sliding door, allowing a clear view of what was happening inside.

Qin Lu turned his head and watched as Nan Yan took two tomatoes, a bundle of greens, and three eggs from the refrigerator. She washed the tomatoes and greens at the sink, swiftly beat the eggs, and began cooking.

Observing her actions, so efficient and skilled, it seemed that she often cooked by herself.

Unbeknownst to Nan Yan, Qin Lu’s thoughts wandered aimlessly.

He was recalling the experiences of the original host before being recognized by the An family.

She had grown up in the countryside, where her family favored boys and treated her poorly. At a young age, she had to do household chores and take care of her younger brother, who was only two years younger than her…

Of course, Nan Yan didn’t know what Qin Lu was thinking.

What he was thinking about was indeed the Host’s experience.

However, she was different.

She had always been strong, especially after her parents passed away. She became even more resolute.

She learned to cook because there was a time when she was extremely poor and couldn’t afford to eat out all the time. Buying groceries and cooking at home was a way to save money and effort, so she learned how to cook.

Cooking was a simple matter for her, simply following the recipe would yield a delicious meal.

A few minutes later, Nan Yan brought two dishes to the table.

One was stir-fried greens with oyster sauce, and the other was scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Both dishes were quickly made.

After all, they were hungry and didn’t have time to prepare complicated dishes. Simple dishes would do.

“We should have enough. Let’s eat,” Nan Yan removed her apron and sat in the empty seat next to Old Madam Qin.

The dining table was rectangular, with two chairs placed on each long side.

Qin Lu and Shen Junqing sat next to each other.

Nan Yan wasn’t worried that the two of them would fight.

Even if they didn’t get along and disliked each other, they wouldn’t start a fight here.

“Yan Yan, the dishes you cooked are really delicious!” Old Madam Qin praised with a mouthful of food, her smile beaming.

Old Madam Qin had tasted all kinds of delicacies and had top-class chefs specially hired from five-star hotels. She was very picky when it came to food.

Her words were simply meant to compliment Nan Yan.

But Nan Yan’s dishes were indeed delicious.

They had a homely taste that couldn’t be faulted.

Nan Yan smiled and said, “If you like it, please eat more.”

And so, during the meal, it turned out that the two dishes Nan Yan cooked were completely wiped clean.

Qin Lu and Shen Junqing seemed to deliberately compete with each other, trying to grab the dishes as soon as the other person’s chopsticks touched them.

Their actions were… childish!

Nan Yan couldn’t be bothered and went to the living room with Old Madam Qin, planning to clean up later.

When she returned, she was surprised to find that the two esteemed young masters had already cleaned up the dining table.

The bowls, chopsticks, and plates were all placed in the sink. Shen Junqing was staring at them, completely clueless about what to do next….
