Chapter 8: Chapter 8. Invite Him

The car drove for half an hour and finally stopped at the entrance of an old community.

“Thank you so much for today. Go back and think about it. See if there’s anything I can do to help you.”

She was embarrassed to keep asking for help.

It was only human nature to return the favor.

“I’ll tell you when I think of something.” Qin Nanyu answered.

“Then think carefully, and you can tell me anytime.” As Ningyan spoke, she lowered her head, unbuckled her seatbelt, and then alighted from the car.

Just then, Qin Nanyu also got out of the car from the other side. She was stunned and asked curiously, “You want to buy cigarettes? Or to buy water?”

There happened to be a convenience store at the community entrance, and all the cars passing by would stop if needed.

Qin Nanyu glanced at it and then looked away. He asked indifferently, “I’ve sent you all the way home. Don’t you plan on inviting me up for a cup of tea?”

“But I don’t have tea at home …Ningyan replied hesitantly.

This was not a lie but the truth.

The most important thing was that they weren’t that close, right? It didn’t seem suitable for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room.

“Then there should be water, right?” Qin Nanyu was speechless. Did she think he was her driver?

This meant that he was going to go up. Ningyan could only nod her head heavily. “There is.

However, I just moved in and haven’t tidied up my things. The house is a little messy.”

Qin Nanyu walked before her and said calmly, “It’s okay, I don’t mind.”

The two walked shoulder-to-shoulder on the road, the streetlights casting a long shadow on them. Ji Ningyan glanced at them a few times, then quickly turned away.

The neighborhood was old, the environment was average, and the facilities were not perfect. Naturally, there was no such precious thing as an elevator.

However, Ji Ningyan didn’t mind. Rivertown’s economy was booming, and housing prices were extremely high. The rent of a good house wasn’t something Ji Ningyan could afford. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have rented this place.

There were all sorts of people living in the community.

When he reached the floor where Ji Ningyan was staying, he ran into a few men. The leader had dyed blonde hair and looked to be in his thirties. His arm was tattooed with a sizeable Azure dragon, and he seemed pretty social.

Ji Ningyan was right next to Qin Nanyu. Just as she was about to open the door, the yellow-haired man noticed her beauty and stopped to strike up a conversation. “I’ve never seen you before!”

“Yes.” One shouldn’t slap a smiling face. Although Ji Ningyan didn’t want to respond, she still replied in a muffled voice.

Seeing this, the young man’s eyes turned, and his smile became even more brilliant. He said enthusiastically, “Is it convenient for me to add you on WeChat? If you need any help in the future, just let me know. I live just above you …”

Qin Nanyu looked at him coldly. Was he trying to steal his girl right in front of him?

He pushed Ji Ningyan into the room, then turned and said to the blondie, “It’s not convenient!”

The blonde finally noticed Qin Nanyu’s presence. He walked over unhappily. “Who are you? Did I ask you? This is my territory …”

Ji Ningyan could smell the tension outside. She reached out and pulled Qin Nanyu in. “This is my husband. He doesn’t like people asking for my WeChat. Thank you.”

Without waiting for the yellow-haired man to speak, Ji Ningyan quickly closed the door. They could still hear the faint sounds of shouting from outside through the door.

She turned around, glanced at the messy living room, and said to Qin Nanyu as if nothing had happened, “I was in a hurry when I moved, so I didn’t have time to clean up. Please have a seat first; I’ll go and boil some water.
