“Don’t be afraid.” Seeing that she wanted to say something but hesitated, Cheng Xia knew that there must be a reason why Nan Ge was so worried. “No matter what, isn’t President Shen there too? If anything happens, he will definitely protect you.”

“Besides, if his parents are really that kind of people, I think with President Shen’s personality, he won’t bring you back to see them.” Cheng Xia hit the nail on the head.

“Yes, yes, yes!” Fang Yuanyuan and Su Hui echoed.

“That’s true. Then what should I prepare?” It was her first time visiting, so she could not go empty-handed.

“We don’t know much about this. After all, we don’t have any experience in this area for the time being. Why don’t you ask your family?”

After taking a shower, Nan Ge walked to the balcony to call her mother, but the line was in use. Helpless, she could only call her father instead.

“Youyou, it’s so late. Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“Not yet.”

Nan Ge usually contacted her mother more often. When she suddenly called him today, her father was a little flattered.

The father and daughter chatted casually for a while before getting to the point.

“Are you going to Little Shen’s house for dinner?”

“Ah, right.” Nan Ge was a little nervous. “It’s just a casual meal, but it doesn’t seem right to come empty-handed, so I came to ask you.”

Hearing her tone, Mr. Nan thought that it was something big. “Don’t worry. Leave it to me. You’re going over this weekend, right? I’ll get your brother to send the things to you in advance.”

“Is it… that simple?”

“What else?” The old father did not know whether to laugh or cry. “This kind of people typically liked nothing more than antiques, calligraphy, and paintings. Your grandfather has a lot of these things. Just get your brother to bring you a couple of items.”

Nan Ge,

“Also, I heard that his father is a very good person. You don’t have to be afraid.” Mr. Nan was still confident in his daughter, so he did not remind her much. “Okay, okay. Then what is Mom doing? I can’t get through to her.”

“Oh her? She’s on the phone with your brother.”

Hearing this, Nan Ge guessed that they were most likely talking about the trending topic.

In the apartment, Qi Yan lay on the sofa and watched the television advertisement in boredom.

From time to time, she would look at the kitchen not far away. From her angle, she could only see the man’s back.

The other party was boiling water and holding the phone in his hand. He seemed to be a little impatient and only answered without saying anything further, but he did not dare to hang up.

After listening for a while, she retracted her gaze and continued watching the advertisement.

When she was about to fall asleep after an unknown period of time, a certain someone finally came out of the kitchen.

“Get up and take your medicine.”

After taking the medicine, Qi Yan woke up. “Have you finished your call?”

“Okay.” Nan Zhe placed the glass of water on the table and sat down on the sofa beside her.

The apartment Qi Yan rented only had one bedroom and one living room. Usually, she did not find the place small living alone, but now that Nan Zhe was here, she felt a little cramped. For example, the sofa in the living room was very miniature when Nan Zhe sat on it. His long legs were pressed against the legs of the coffee table, and he could not stretch them out.

“It’s my mom.”

He suddenly spoke. Qi Yan had yet to retract her attention and could not hear what he was saying.

Fortunately, Nan Zhe paused and continued, “My mother asked about the trending topics in the early morning and explained.”

“Oh.” Qi Yan nodded.

This was a good start. Nan Zhe felt that he could continue chatting and explaining to her.

In the evening, he picked her up from the hospital. The topic of conversation between the two of them kept revolving around her sore back, and they had yet to mention this matter.

Meeting Qi Yan’s eyes, Nan Zhe coughed lightly and looked away, looking at the television disapprovingly.

“I became a trending topic online in the wee hours of the morning. You probably didn’t see it since you slept early last night.”

Qi Yan subconsciously wanted to say that she saw it, but in the end, she stopped himself. “Really?”

Nan Zhe responded and continued.

“Oh, it should be a publicity stunt. It’s a normal marketing method in the entertainment industry,” Qi Yan said calmly.

For a moment, both of them fell silent.

Qi Yan looked at him from the corner of her eye. The man was leaning lazily on her small lazy sofa. His head was turned to the side and he was focused on watching the variety show on television.

Coincidentally, it was a replay of Qi Jia’s variety show.

Almost without thinking, she suddenly asked, “Then is what happened between you and Qi Jia true?”

The man on the sofa stiffened and quickly turned to look at her.

Qi Yan was stunned and looked into his eyes directly. She did not have time to dodge.

“What’s wrong?” Did she say something wrong?

He stared at her for a long time before saying, “It’s not true. There’s no ambiguity between us, let alone mention being together. We’re not close in private.”

“Oh.”

There was nothing else.

Seeing her reaction, Nan Zhe felt that she did not believe him at all, so he sat up straight and leaned toward her. He said seriously, “I have nothing to do with her.”

“I didn’t react that way during the award ceremony for her sake. It’s not like you don’t know my personality. How could I be indifferent when someone publicly slapped my face?”

“I don’t talk to Qi Jia much. At first, I started the company just for fun. I wasn’t very serious about it and had always left it to my friends to manage.”

“How about this? I’ll call them and let them talk to you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Zhe took out his phone from his pocket and really flipped through his contact list. Qi Yan was still stunned. When she realized what he was going to do, she quickly tried to stop him. “No, no, no! I was just asking casually…”

Unfortunately, Nan Zhe was too fast. She had just gotten up from the sofa when the call went through.

“Okay, help me explain.” Nan Zhe said a few words before putting his phone on speaker and approaching Qi Yan.

Qi Yan,

She suddenly felt like she was being forced to do something.

She did not want to talk to his partner to begin with!

Seeing that she did not move, Nan Zhe raised his eyebrows and gestured for her to speak.

The corners of Qi Yan’s mouth twitched. “Uh, hello?”

“Hello, Sister-in-Law. Just call me Xiao Lu.”

This shocked Qi Yan so much that she almost jumped off the sofa. “No, no, no, you’re mistaken. Nan Zhe and I are just friends. We aren’t dating.”

“Understood understood.” The other party agreed quite quickly, but there was something else in his laughter.

Qi Yan wanted to say something else, but her train of thought was quickly interrupted by the person on the other end of the line. She only heard the other party say, “You’ve really misunderstood. Qi Jia really has nothing to do with President Nan. They haven’t even eaten together in private. How can they be a couple? You don’t do this even to a mistress, right?”

“As for those scandals, our company had just been established not long ago when they emerged. At that time, we needed some popularity. Therefore, some subordinates came up with the idea to use it and took the opportunity to hype it up. However, this matter was not President Nan’s idea. When he found out, he immediately asked us to remove it. We also bought paid posters to suppress the topic as much as possible..”
