Qin Xin was not calm anymore.
Mr. Nalan asked her if she was free this weekend, could she really respond with "not free"?
But last ti she refused him so bluntly and rudely, yet he was very gentlemanly and held no grudges, even helping Qin Xiaoshuang to find dicine...
Refusing him rudely, wouldn’t that make her a bit of an ingrate?
Thinking it over, Qin Xin carefully chose her tone: [Is there sothing you need?]
Nalan Ye Jue: [A family gathering, I want to introduce you to everyone.]
Qin Xin’s breath hitched.
She hadn’t even decided whether to get engaged or not.
And now he wanted to introduce her to his family?
No, no, no.
Absolutely not.
Qin Xin: [I’m busy with studies, and there’s an important dical lecture at school this weekend, I have to attend it.]
Using studies as a reason, it’s dignified and clever, surely the man would have nothing to say now, right?
But,.
The very next second...
The man’s ssage arrived.
Nalan Ye Jue: [Okay, I also want to learn about dical theory. Let’s et at your school’s lecture hall this weekend.]
Qin Xin almost couldn’t breathe!
This man was really not playing by the rules.
As a gentleman, isn’t this the mont where he should politely say "Let’s talk about it next ti"?
Feeling slightly irritated, Qin Xin ruffled her hair: [It’s a very complex lecture on BMP-16 developnt theory, you won’t understand it.]
Nalan Ye Jue replied imdiately: [BMP-16, bone morphogenetic protein, is QUEEN’s recently published academic paper, right? Perfect, I’m very interested.]
He then added: [As soone with a disability, I should closely follow orthopedic research findings.]
Qin Xin: "...!"
If she’d known, she would’ve made up a different lecture na earlier!
This man was too forceful, she always forgot the fact that he had a leg condition and used a wheelchair.
Thinking of how he referred to himself as a cripple just to get her to agree, she felt a montary softness in her heart.
Just as she was about to concede, she suddenly realized sothing was off...
Qin Xin: [Aren’t you attending a family gathering this weekend? It’s not appropriate to leave for a lecture, is it?]
Almost got tricked by him, humph.
Nalan Ye Jue: [That’s not important.]
Qin Xin: "..."
Nalan Ye Jue: [Before the engagent ceremony, I think it’s best to get to know each other and build so feelings.]
Qin Xin: "...!!!"
The other party was moving too fast for her to keep up with the pace.
Build so feelings???
Nalan Ye Jue: [Then it’s settled, I’ll co to your school this weekend and accompany you for the lecture.]
Qin Xin: [Wait, I haven’t said...]
When did she agree to this?
Nalan Ye Jue: [You are busy with studies, let’s not talk more. We’ll chat when we et.]
The man decisively ended the conversation.
Qin Xin: "..."
Why is it that every ti she talks with this man, situations occur that go beyond her comprehension?
In her 19 years of life, the n she frequently interacted with were either business partners, her apprentices, or subordinates...
She had never dealt with a man like this, equally matched, who would often subtly guide her.
She would rather remain silent, using "Huo Tingzun" as her identity and fiercely battle him across the firewall three hundred tis, that would be more satisfying!
The man had stopped sending ssages.
She didn’t want to chase after him either.
Qin Xin closed her eyes and vigorously massaged the long hair at her temple.
eting it is then!
It’s just right to et and clarify things.
I! Won’t! Marry!
Her slightly frantic deanor made the students within ten ters cautiously avoid speaking.
Those who were discussing how good Qin Wenrou was at piano and English also shut their mouths, looking at Qin Xin with a bit of fear.
Only her desk mate, Huo Zhen, pursed his lips and reached out to try and cheer her up: "Sister Xin, here you go."
