A Signal in Her Heart

The two of them spoke at the same time and were stunned.

Shen Yanqing was the first to react. “You go first.”

“…” Nan Ge was suddenly interrupted. The little balloon in her heart that had just swelled up instantly deflated.

She hugged the bag and dug her fingers into the corner of the bag nervously, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing this, Shen Yanqing was very considerate. “Then you can find me when you’re ready to talk.”

Nan Ge pursed her lips but did not answer.

Hence, Shen Yanqing stopped urging her and waited for her quietly.

On the roadside not far away, the front window of the Rolls-Royce rolled down slightly. Assistant Yuan narrowed his eyes and observed the two figures at the door.

“Gasp, why are President Shen and Miss Nan Ge standing there?”

“They don’t seem to be talking either…”

Gao also stuck his head out. “You can see that they didn’t speak from so far away?”

“Who asked you to read the shape of his mouth? Look at the atmosphere.”

Gao did not understand, but when he took a closer look, the two people opposite him did not seem to have any communication. Shen Yanqing lowered his eyes and looked at Nan Ge. Nan Ge had her head lowered and did not move, as if she was nailed to the ground.

“It’s a little awkward.”

“Right?” Assistant Yuan sighed and picked up his clothes from the side to put them on.

Seeing his attitude, Gao was puzzled. “Where are you going?”

“As the saying goes, prize money is reserved for those who are prepared.”

“The situation now requires me to take action!”

President Shen would definitely be very grateful to him!

He pushed the door open confidently. “I’ll show you what a ‘love mentor’ is.”

“Good call, Yuan.”

“Sigh. You’ll get used to it in a matter of time.”

“How else do you think I became an assistant?”

“…”

——

Time passed minute by minute. People came and went around, glancing over from time to time.

Nan Ge did not say anything for a long time. Shen Yanqing was rather patient. He just stood quietly at the side the whole time and silently blocked the wind.

This kept going on until she had already made a small hole in the paper bag. Nan Ge was distracted by the sound of children playing in the distance.

Gathering her courage again, she looked up. “I…”

“President Shen!”

Nan Ge was slightly stunned. She turned to look at Assistant Yuan, who was jogging toward them.

“Assistant Yuan,” she greeted him.

Assistant Yuan also subconsciously raised his hand. “Hi there.”

Shen Yanqing frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the voice.

With just a glance, the smile on Assistant Yuan’s face disappeared. He raised his hand to wipe his face and calmly combed his hair which was messed up by the wind.

Then, in the next second, he pretended not to see anyone. He turned around and ran in another direction.

Nan Ge stood rooted to the ground, stunned.

What’s going on?

Shen Yanqing’s gaze fell on her fingers which were red from the wind. He suggested, “It’s too cold outside. If you want to sit down and chat, let’s go somewhere else.”

“No need.” Nan Ge felt that Assistant Yuan was here to urge Shen Yanqing.

Taking a deep breath, the deflated balloon in her heart was blown up again, swaying in the wind.

This time, the baby penguin was bold. “It’s no big deal. I just wanted to ask, when you said to the clerk, ‘I’m not her boyfriend yet,’ did you say one more word by accident?”

At this point, she suddenly felt ashamed and wanted to escape! However, Shen Yanqing did not give her the chance.

As if they were telepathic, he handed in the paper in advance and gave the answer first. “By that sentence I mean…”

“I hope to have this honor in the future.”

Almost instantly, the small pink balloon that was hidden in her heart suddenly exploded.

Dong.

It was a signal inside the baby penguin’s heart.

——

“Hello?”

“What are you thinking!”

Ever since they got into the car, Nan Ge had been sitting in the front passenger seat, staring blankly ahead.

Nan Zhe waved his hand in front of her and asked with a frown, “You won five million?”

“…” Nan Ge coughed lightly and pretended to be calm as she asked, “Didn’t you say that you would get someone else to pick me up? I thought you didn’t have time?”

“And now there is.”

In fact, Nan Zhe was indeed a little busy at first. He originally wanted to ask his friend to help bring Nan Ge to his place.

However, on second thought, his friend was still single. Nan Zhe did not want his friend to fall for Nan Ge.

He originally wanted to ask someone else to help. After looking around, he realized that he did not have a single trustworthy male friend.

His friends who were usually pleasing to the eye were now jackals, tigers, and leopards!

How could he let them take care of Nan Ge with peace of mind?

Of course not!

Therefore, he could only come personally.

“Where’s my gift?” Nan Zhe extended his hand to her.

“Oh, here it is.”

Nan Ge handed over the bag.

Looking at the logo on the bag, Nan Zhe raised his eyebrows and finally smiled.

Under the red light, he eagerly opened the bag.

Nan Ge propped her head on her hand and looked out of the window. Her mind was in a mess. Shen Yanqing’s words just now were like floating bullet comments.

Just as she was thinking, a cry of surprise came from the driver’s seat beside her. “Nan Youyou!”

“Huh?” For the first time, she thought her brother was a little noisy. She turned to look. “What?”

Nan Zhe was holding the tie and smiling brightly. “I really didn’t dote on you for nothing, Youyou.”

Nan Ge vaguely felt that something was wrong. She had spent $5000 and it was not cheap, so it made sense for him to be happy with the tie.

Then again… why did the black tie in her brother’s hand look so much like Shen Yanqing’s?

“This isn’t cheap, right?” Nan Zhe looked at the receipt. “Oh, $9,800. You’re really something, Nan Youyou!”

“At first, you said you would buy me a gift worth $400. I knew you were lying to me! You wanted to give me a surprise, right?!”

“When I saw the bag, I simply thought you got the cheapest tie.”

“Of course, I’ll like whatever you buy and it’s not about the money.”

“I just didn’t realize how much I meant to you.”

“$9800. Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

“…”

Nan Ge’s head was buzzing. She carefully recalled that they had taken their own bags at the store, but they went to eat halfway.

At that time, the bags were placed together…

Moreover, the ties were the same brand, so the packaging was the same.

She must have taken the wrong one.

At the thought of this, Nan Ge was a little vexed. She wanted to explain, but when she looked up and saw the tears of joy on her brother’s face, she decided not to.

——

That night, Nan Ge ran back to the shop.

Coincidentally, it was the same sales assistant who received her.

“Do you still have the black tie I saw in the afternoon? I want to buy another one.”

“That’s the last one.”

“Why don’t you take a look at the other styles? How about this one? It’s also a new model, very similar to that one.”

Nan Ge took a liking to it. “How much is this one?”

“This one is more detailed, so it’s a little more expensive than what you saw earlier.”

“How much is a little?”

“$3000.”

Nan Ge was speechless. It was $9800 plus $3000. She suddenly felt a little dizzy.
