Chapter 7

Wu Yue quickly pointed to Nan Yan, who had just come out of the clothing store, and said to Old Madam Qin, “It’s her!”

“Old Madam, isn’t this young girl very beautiful?”

Having followed Qin Lu for so many years, Wu Yue had seen countless beauties. Whether they were wealthy young ladies, career women, or television stars, he had seen them all. The fact that he repeatedly called Nan Yan “good-looking” showed just how good-looking Nan Yan was.

Old Madam Qin didn’t have time to pay attention to him.

She eagerly stretched her neck to get a better look at Nan Yan, squinting her eyes to see the girl clearly.

Nan Yan was wearing the outfit Wu Yue had sent over yesterday—a simple pair of casual pants and a solid-colored T-shirt. It was a simple attire, but it accentuated the girl’s slender figure.

Her waist-length hair was neither permed nor dyed, cascading behind her in smooth, black waves.

Her unadorned face was clean and clear, truly beautiful!

Old Madam Qin was very satisfied with Nan Yan, and all her previous complaints about her eldest grandson disappeared in an instant.

However, if Ah Lv could quickly marry the little girl, that would be even better!

The girl seemed a bit too frail, and they would need to take good care of her and improve her health before she could bear children for the Qin family.

“Old Madam, what are you doing?” Wu Yue saw Old Madam Qin about to walk towards Nan Yan and quickly stopped her.

“I’m going to meet my granddaughter-in-law!” Finally encountering her, she wanted to have a good conversation with her granddaughter-in-law.

“No, Old Madam!” Wu Yue’s face showed a troubled expression. “Haven’t you forgotten what Young Master said? He hasn’t won the girl over yet. If you approach her rashly, she might feel pressured and refuse Young Master’s pursuit. What will we do then?”

Old Madam Qin frowned, complaining with disdain, “Why is Ah Lv so foolish? It’s just chasing a girl, and he can’t even catch her!”

Wu Yue was speechless.

Old Madam, doesn’t it pain your conscience to say such things?

If even someone with Ah Lv’s intelligence can be called foolish, shouldn’t everyone else go back to the drawing board and start over?

“Old Madam, the Young Master and the girl have probably just met not long ago. Please give him some time. Let’s not disturb the girl for now, so as not to put pressure on her,” Wu Yue persuaded, managing to stop Old Madam Qin.

After that, the two of them, an old woman and a young man, secretly followed Nan Yan, maintaining a distance that was neither too far nor too close.

At first, Nan Yan didn’t notice them.

However, with two gazes constantly fixated on her, and those two individuals following closely behind, if she still couldn’t figure out something, then that would be truly surprising.

Nan Yan stood still and said to An Xiran, “Fourth Brother, please wait for me.”

An Xiran asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

“Something came up.”

Leaving these words behind, Nan Yan walked directly towards Old Madam Qin.

“She’s coming over!” Wu Yue’s expression changed, and he looked anxious. “Old Madam, what should we do? Shouldn’t we hide?”

If the Young Master finds out that they came to disturb this young girl, would he be angry?

Old Madam Qin remained composed and said, “Hide? She doesn’t even know us. We’re just shopping here. Isn’t that okay?”

Wu Yue still looked troubled. “But that girl saw me yesterday…”

“In that case, you hide yourself. I’ll handle it myself.”

“Alright.” Wu Yue nodded and then reminded, “Old Madam, please don’t reveal your identity. Don’t frighten the young girl!”

“Fine, I know what to do.” Old Madam Qin waved her hand impatiently. “Hurry, the little girl is coming.”

“Oh, okay.” Wu Yue didn’t dare to linger any longer and swiftly strode into a nearby store.

Old Madam Qin watched Nan Yan approaching her, and the satisfaction in her eyes grew deeper.

This girl, the more she looked, the more beautiful she became!

Her eyes were beautiful, clear, and pure—a clear sign of a good child, she thought happily.

Nan Yan walked up to Old Madam Qin and smiled, asking, “Are you alone, Granny?”

Nan Yan naturally noticed Wu Yue and Old Madam Qin whispering to each other before quickly leaving.

Her question was just a test.

Because of the distance and the dim lighting outside the door last night, she didn’t pay much attention. Moreover, she didn’t recognize Wu Yue as the man who had delivered the items to her yesterday.

These two people had been secretly following her for so long, and now the man had run away when he saw her approaching.

Something seemed off about them.

However, the original host didn’t know the old lady in front of her.

Furthermore, the original owner came from the countryside, and the way this old lady dressed clearly indicated wealth and status, unlike the people the original owner was accustomed to interacting with.

Old Madam Qin smiled kindly, her eyes filled with warmth. “Yes, little girl, what’s the matter?”

Nan Yan smiled gently. “Actually, it’s nothing. I just saw Granny alone and was worried that it might get chaotic in the mall, and you might get jostled. How about calling someone from your family to pick you up?”

“What a good child! Granny is fine, you’re so thoughtful.” Old Madam Qin was even more satisfied with Nan Yan.

She was such a considerate and kind-hearted girl. She was truly likeable!

Seeing that Old Madam Qin showed no intention of leaving, Nan Yan continued, “If you like, I can accompany you and see what you want to buy. After you’re done, I can take you home.”

She didn’t like unknown situations.

Even if the old lady had no ill intentions and posed no threat to her, she still wanted to understand why she had been following and spying on her.

Old Madam Qin was overjoyed and nodded. “Good, good. Then you can accompany Grandma shopping!”

An Xiran, who had followed behind Nan Yan, witnessed this scene and was slightly stunned.

It turned out that Nan Yan was actually so kind.

Seeing an elderly person alone in the mall, she worried that she might get harmed. It seemed that living in the countryside had preserved her simplicity and kindness!

An Xiran suddenly felt that his sister was not as useless as he thought.

At least, compared to An Muyao’s hypocrisy and ruthlessness, she was far better.

Although she had many shortcomings, it was all because of her parents’ fault. After being abandoned in the countryside for sixteen years, they didn’t make an effort to educate her when she returned.

He believed that as long as he nurtured her well, she wouldn’t be bad either!

Nan Yan glanced at him indifferently and said, “Fourth Brother, if you’re in a hurry, you can go back first. I’ll accompany the elderly lady to finish shopping and then go home by myself.”

“We can’t buy the phone today. We can come back later for that.”

“I have nothing else to do, so I’ll accompany you. I’ll send the old lady home later.”

An Xiran knew that Nan Yan didn’t have any cash in her hands and had lost her phone. If he left, she would have to walk back home later.

“Do you want to buy a phone, little girl? Granny will buy it for you!”
