Chapter 8

Old Madam Qin held Nan Yan’s hand and looked at her with a beaming smile. “Consider it a reward for accompanying Granny.”

Nan Yan was slightly surprised but politely declined, “It’s alright. I can’t accept things you buy for me, but thank you.”

An Xiran calmly spoke up, “Granny, I’ll buy my sister the phone. What are you planning to buy?”

Nan Yan had been back for two years, and this was the first time he bought something for her. She only chose a few items, and he felt that it was too little. How could he let others buy for her?

“I just want to buy something casually, I’m not in a hurry.” Old Madam Qin smiled, then turned to Nan Yan. “Let’s get you a phone first.”

Seeing that she didn’t seem to have any urgent matters, Nan Yan nodded, “Okay.”

An Xiran took Nan Yan directly to the Huawei store and bought the latest smartphone.

Nan Yan tried it out and found the features to be quite good.

Although it couldn’t compare to the non-commercial phone she used in the research institute, it was sufficient for her needs.

Inside the Huawei store, there were also laptops available.

Nan Yan licked her lips and tugged at An Xiran’s clothes, smiling obediently, “Brother Four, can you buy me a laptop too?”

An Xi ran was momentarily dazzled by her obedient appearance.

She was really too beautiful!

Especially when her alluring eyes are accompanied by a bright smile and deliberate efforts to please, they can easily captivate one’s heart and soul!

Then he reacted to what she had said, cleared his throat, and averted his gaze from her overly dazzling face. “Sure, whatever you want, Fourth Brother will buy it for you.”

Old Madam Qin nodded along on the side.

Such an obedient little girl, she would be willing to give her this store, let alone just buying a laptop.

Unfortunately…

She couldn’t tell her yet that she was Ah Lv’s grandmother and couldn’t buy her anything…

Nan Yan took the selection of the laptop more seriously than when she chose the phone.

However, the laptops on the market were generally geared toward ordinary consumers, and even the highest configuration was still a bit low-end for her.

However, it would suffice for emergency use for now.

Once she had the money, she could buy parts on the black market and assemble a custom one.

After buying the laptop and phone, Nan Yan and An Xiran accompanied Old Madam Qin to continue shopping in the mall.

Old Madam Qin didn’t actually intend to buy anything, but since she had mentioned it before, she took Nan Yan to a women’s clothing store with the intention of buying some clothes.

After buying the clothes, it was already an hour later.

Old Madam Qin was too demanding, complaining about this and that, even the salesperson was annoyed.

However, Nan Yan was patient and helped her choose clothes all the way.

Finally, they managed to satisfy the picky old lady, who directly put on the newly purchased clothes and had the store assistant to wrap up the clothes she was originally wearing.

Wu Yue, who was following on the side, was getting anxious.

When he saw the old madam and the others were about to come out, he quickly hid to prevent Nan Yan from discovering him.

An Xiran brought the car, and the two siblings accompanied Old Madam Qin to send her back.

Upon arriving, Nan Yan realized that the place where the old lady lived was actually the Lantis Hotel where she stayed yesterday.

After getting out of the car, Old Madam Qin was still a little reluctant and held Nan Yan’s hand, asking, “Little girl, I still don’t know your name. Why don’t you tell Granny your name?”

Nan Yan was somewhat puzzled about Old Madam Qin’s background.

Based on their interactions during this period of time, the old lady didn’t seem to have any ill intentions towards her. On the contrary, she seemed to have a good impression of her.

She even acted very fond of her.

The key was that she seemed to genuinely not recognize her.

This mystery was getting bigger.

Old Madam Qin was eagerly waiting for her answer while still holding her hand. Nan Yan, seeing this, smiled and said, “Nan Yan.”

“Nan Yan… Can Granny call you Yanyan in the future?”

“In the future?”

They had only met by chance, so how could there be a future?

“Cough, I mean, just in case we can meet again in the future?” Old Madam Qin quickly found an excuse. “When Granny saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity and wanted to treat you as my own granddaughter.”

Nan Yan nodded and said, “As you wish.”

“If you live here, then my Fourth Brother and I will leave first. You’ve been walking around for so long today, so go back to rest,” she added.

“Alright.” Old Madam Qin smiled and replied, “Yanyan, I hope we can meet again soon!”

“Let’s leave it to fate,” Nan Yan responded.

Nan Yan exchanged a few words with Old Madam Qin and then returned to the car.

An Xiran asked, “Are we going home?”

“Yes,” Nan Yan replied.

She still had to go back and tidy up the original host’s room. In the future, she might be living there, so it had to be arranged to her liking.

Wu Yue waited until the car had driven far away before he got out of another car and quickly walked over to Old Madam Qin’s side.

“Madam, please don’t tell Young Master about meeting the girl today. Otherwise, he will be upset, and I’ll be in trouble…” Wu Yue pleaded.

Young Master wouldn’t blame Old Madam Qin, and he would end up being the scapegoat.

“Alright, Wu Yue, go investigate the Nan family and see what the situation is like. Focus on finding out what my granddaughter-in-law likes,” Old Madam Qin instructed.

Old Madam Qin could change her face as well. Her dignified expression now was completely different from her gentle appearance in front of Nan Yan.

Everyone in the capital knew that the old lady of the Qin family had a peculiar temperament and was difficult to get along with. But she hadn’t shown any of that in front of Nan Yan.

Wu Yue nodded repeatedly, assuring her that he would thoroughly investigate.

The An family.

An Xiran parked the car in the underground garage.

This time, Nan Yan didn’t leave in advance but waited for him.

Mainly because there were too many bags in the car, and she couldn’t carry them all by herself.

Nan Yan took a few bags, while An Xiran held four or five bags in his hand. The two of them walked back to the villa side by side.

“Fourth Brother, Yanyan, you’re back?”

An Muyao hadn’t gone anywhere in the morning and was sitting in the living room. When she saw them return, she immediately greeted them with a smile.

However, when she saw the numerous bags they were carrying and An Xiran’s hands full of things, she was so jealous that she gritted her teeth.

Her Fourth Brother bought so many things for Nan Yan!

Moreover, he didn’t even mind the effort, personally carrying them back for her!

Even she hadn’t received such treatment!

An Xiran glanced at her indifferently, gave a casual response, and headed towards the stairs.

As for Nan Yan, she didn’t even bother acknowledging her and walked past her without a glance.

An Muyao’s smile froze on her face, and her gaze instantly darkened.

That little vixen!

She actually dared to ignore her!

Does she think that she can challenge me just because she has the favor of my Fourth Brother and his support?

An Muyao gritted her teeth and suppressed the anger in her heart as she followed them.

“Nan Yan, I’ll put these things on the sofa, and you can organize them yourself,” An Xiran instructed.

“Okay.” Nan Yan casually placed the boxes containing the laptop and phone aside and walked over to An Xiran, giving him a slight smile. “Thank you, Fourth Brother.”

Seeing the sincere and clear eyes of the young girl, An Xiran felt a bit uneasy.

“You don’t need to be so polite with me. In the future, if you need anything, just tell me directly.”

He had neglected his own biological sister for too long. From now on, he would definitely make up for it!

Nan Yan licked her lips thoughtfully and smiled, “Okay.”

Consider it as retrieving some interest for the original host.

An Xiran was once again dazzled by her smile and quickly averted his gaze, walking away.

He didn’t even stop when he bumped into An Muyao, who had just entered the house, and quickly walked away.

An Muyao clenched her teeth.

She closed the door with a bang, and hurriedly went inside…
