Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Nan Yan pursed her lips, wanting to explain, “It’s not…”

Qin Lu slowly spoke up, “Grandma would be sad if you don’t take the things she bought for you.”

“…Then I’ll take them,” Nan Yan tactfully changed her response.

She then helped Wu Yue pack up those things.

“Miss Nan, don’t move!” Wu Yue quickly said, “Just wait here, I’ll take care of it myself!”

He couldn’t let Miss Nan interfere with the task assigned by the Young Master.

Qin Lu pulled the little girl to the side. “Let him pack.”

“Yes, let me handle it. I’m very fast at packing!”

To prove his words, Wu Yue swiftly and skillfully packed everything.

After about ten minutes, Wu Yue had already finished packing everything.

Then he carried the things himself and moved them to the car.

Qin Lu helped Nan Yan push the suitcase while she carried her backpack, and they went downstairs together.

Before leaving, they didn’t bother to say goodbye to Old Madam Qin. Old Madam Qin didn’t show any signs of reluctance and just waved her hand with a smile before returning to her room.

In her room, Old Madam Qin was busy packing her own things…

In the moving car, Nan Yan’s phone disrupted the quiet atmosphere.

It was An Xiran.

He must have known that she was moving today and deliberately called her.

Nan Yan answered, “Fourth Brother.”

An Xiran said, “Yanyan, have you moved to your new home? Fourth Brother has been busy these past few days and almost forgot about it. If you haven’t moved yet, Fourth Brother will come and help you move.”

“No need, Fourth Brother. I have someone helping me move.”

“Is it the gentleman from last time?” An Xiran was referring to Qin Lu.

“Yes.

“Alright, Fourth Brother is busy with training these days. After it’s over, I’ll come to see you.”

“Okay, you’re busy. I’m fine here.”

An Xiran wanted to say a few more words, but someone from the team called him, so he had to end the call.

Soon after, they had a tournament to participate in, and all the members of their team were undergoing intense training.

As the captain, An Xiran was no exception and had to set an example.

He planned to buy her a gift with the prize money after the tournament.

Qin Lu, who was waiting for Nan Yan to hang up the phone, asked thoughtfully, “You have a good relationship with your Fourth Brother?” Nan Yan nodded. “Yes, he’s the only one who treats me well in the An family.”

So, her resistance towards him wasn’t that strong.

“Not bad.”

At least someone was willing to protect her.

Their brief conversation ended there.

Nan Yan sincerely felt that being with Qin Lu made her always on edge.

Although she knew he had no ill intentions and only cared for her, his presence made her instinctively nervous.

Nan Yan’s new home was called Jingtai Garden Community.

It was a new community that had been open for three years. The environment inside was good, and the security measures were in place.

When An Xiran bought it, he specifically looked for these points.

After all, a young girl like Nan Yan needed a safe living environment.

She lived in Block A, Unit 4, on the sixteenth floor.

After opening the door, she found a small two-bedroom apartment with simple decoration. Apart from the essentials, there wasn’t much extra decoration.

Qin Lu, with his tall stature, felt a sense of oppression standing in this small space.

Wu Yue, who had a keen eye, moved all the luggage upstairs.

When Nan Yan saw that Wu Yue wanted to help organize the luggage, she stopped him. “Brother, I can handle it myself. You can go back.”

“The new house doesn’t have anything yet so I won’t ask you to sit down and drink a cup of water.”

Qin Lu looked at her, noticing her obvious sense of alienation and distance. He chuckled softly after a moment and said, “You heartless child.”

Nan Yan:

How was she heartless?

“If you have time, remember to visit Grandma. I’ll leave first.”

After seeing off Qin Lu, Nan Yan let out a sigh of relief.

After a while, she went downstairs to pick up the things she had previously ordered from the mall.

Once everything was brought back, she leisurely arranged them.

She kept herself busy until around ten o’clock, and the originally plain and monotonous room now had a touch of liveliness.

The kitchen had all the necessary cooking utensils. She could buy some ingredients tomorrow and start cooking for herself.

Rubbing her slightly sore arms, Nan Yan took her pajamas and went to take a shower.

When she came back from the shower and lay in bed ready to sleep, her phone lit up.

Qin Lu: [Little one, goodnight.]

Nan Yan:

They had never exchanged these kinds of messages when they lived together.

She thought she could draw a clear line with Qin Lu and let him gradually fade out of her life.

However, the simple “goodnight” from him completely shattered her beautiful illusion.

Resigned to her fate, Nan Yan typed a few words on the keyboard and sent them: [Brother, goodnight!]

After sending it, she was about to turn off her phone and sleep, but the phone lit up again.

Qin Lu: [Still not sleeping? Then have a cup of hot milk before sleeping. It will provide you with some calcium.]

Nan Yan’s expression slightly froze, then she sent another message: [I don’t have any in the new house. I’ll buy some tomorrow. Brother, I’m going to sleep now. You should rest early too.] Qin Lu: [Okay.]

Finally, she could go to sleep…

At the hotel, Old Madam Qin was confronting Qin Lu.

Taking advantage of the time he went to send Nan Yan, she packed her own things.

When he returned, she insisted that he buy the house next to Nan Yan’s new home, and she would move there.

Was she planning to stay here permanently?

Qin Lu pinched his brow, trying to reason with her. “Grandma, you’re going back to the capital.”

“I don’t care. I want to live with Yanyan. If you don’t buy it, then I’ll move to Yanyan’s new home myself!”

Qin Lu helplessly said, “Grandma, Yanyan has her own life and needs her own space. If you go there, it will make her feel uncomfortable.”

“But there are two bedrooms. I’m alone, how much space can I take up?”

“Grandma,” Qin Lu calmly stared at her, “I’d better send you back to the capital.’

Old Madam Qin was speechless..
