The atmosphere during their meal was very awkward. In fact, it was quite weird. Fu Jingheng acted extremely aloof and reticent. And Nan Yan had gotten herself into a bizarre situation. At this time, she was trying to desperately avoid the Fu family. She had finally gotten what she wanted by having her marriage with Fu Xiao called off, and she really didn't want to have anything to do with the Fu family any longer.
After the meal, Nan Yan paid the bill. Fu Jingheng didn't try to stop her, and he even seemed to take a great deal of pleasure in it. Taking a sip from his water glass, he said, "Miss Nan, I'm sorry to have to make you spend so much money."
When Nan Yan heard what he had said, the corners of her mouth twitched. This guy was really shameless to the extreme, and he was taking his undeserved gain for granted.
Shameful!
"I should, since you've saved me from a terrible accident. Of course, you should have been treated to a meal." Nan Yan smiled insincerely and looked at him. Her words were full of courtesy. However, she was just pronouncing each word more clearly than usual.
Outside of the restaurant, the afternoon sun was warm and cozy. Nan Yan held her camera and looked at him. "Little uncle, you are a busy man who deals with a host of problems every day, so I won't delay you any further. I'll be leaving." With that, Nan Yan turned around and, giving Fu Jingheng no chance to speak at all, left immediately.
Fu Jingheng watched her walk away with brisk small steps in the afternoon's golden sunlight. A gloomy smile appeared in his eyes, and he rubbed his hands together longingly.
That afternoon, Nan Yan returned home exhausted and immediately jumped into her bed. She had always been lazy. Thinking about how she not only didn't get the compensation she had been promised for taking photographs that morning but had also lost money treating Fu Jingheng to a meal, she felt that she had really suffered an extreme loss.
The door to her room was suddenly pushed open. When Nan Yan heard the sound, she looked at the door and saw a handsome young man leaning against the door frame. The unruly smile on his face was extremely attractive.
"Yo, you're actually home at this time of day. Are you that free today?" Resting her chin against her pillow, Nan Yan lay on her bed and teased her brother.
"I'm also surprised to see you here. You don't have school today?" Looking at her flippantly, Nan Yun stood there, leaning on the door.
"Tomorrow." She felt a headache when she thought about having to submit her graduation thesis tomorrow. "You're not training in the club today?"
"There are no competitions this month, so I can take a break."
"Then what are you doing here? Also, could you please knock on the door before you come in? Please be polite and civil, all right?" Nan Yan glanced at him with a cold expression on her face.
"I was concerned about you, okay?"
"Oh? Really? I really couldn't tell."
"I was even afraid that you would feel sad because of your marriage nullification with Fu Xiao. I thought that when I had the free time I would come to console and comfort you, but this is how you reciprocate your older brother's good intentions? Conscienceless little rascal." Nan Yun walked into the room, sat on the edge of the bed, and sighed disappointedly.
Nan Yan could see through him at a glance and kicked him unceremoniously. "Go away, don't touch my bed. After my marriage nullification with Fu Xiao, do you really have no idea whether I would feel hurt or sad? Who on earth is really the one with no conscience?"
After mercilessly being kicked by her, Nan Yun staggered and almost fell to the ground. As he stood up, he clapped his hands. "Okay, you're right. All that is indeed true. Fu Xiao really wasn't worthy of you. If it weren't for the fact that grandpa made the marriage decision for you a long time ago, I have thought that it was a bad idea and have been wanting to complain about it for a long time."
"Forget it. I'm rid of the Fu family now anyway."
"You're idle with nothing to do now, so do you want to play some rounds with me to celebrate?"
Nan Yan narrowed her eyes and sat up in bed. "Bring it on! But if a professional player loses to an amateur player like me, it would be a bit embarrassing!"
