Chapter 1058: Chapter 1082: Openly and Brazenly
Shi Nuan choked, "You really got addicted to calling yourself that, huh? Don’t forget Nianyang also calls you ’ge’. You trying to make it so I can’t even look this form of address in the eye in the future?"
"That’s different." Chu Zhan raised his brows, lazily curling his lips into a smile, blatant seduction written all over it. "Nianyang is my real little sister. I’m your qing-gege."
As soon as those words fell, a rush of heat followed her veins straight up to her head.
How could he—how could he be so shamelessly blunt?
Yeah, people were all about free love nowadays, but who dared to be so bold as to keep "qing-gege" on the tip of their tongue?
This show-off of a man!
Shi Nuan bit out his name hard, "Chu Zhan!"
Chu Zhan’s lips curved higher. He reached out to touch her lower lip, rubbing it lightly, teasing and lazy. "Don’t bite. That belongs to ge. Only I get to bite. If you bite it and ruin it, I’ll be too heartbroken to settle the score with you."
Oh, he’s really on a roll, huh.
Shi Nuan took a deep breath, annoyed. "If you keep fooling around, I’m not talking to you anymore."
"Come on now." Chu Zhan ran his tongue along his back teeth, voice laced with laughter. "So you can’t handle a little teasing? What am I gonna do with you in the future? How am I supposed to act serious around you?"
"..."
Shi Nuan rolled her eyes and turned to leave, but Chu Zhan hauled her right back into his arms.
"Running away from the problem, is that it?" Chu Zhan kissed her ear. "You flirt with me and then won’t give me an answer, and you call me a scumbag? I think you’re the real scumbag here."
Shi Nuan’s voice tightened. "Chu Zhan, I like you, but I can’t be with you."
???
Chu Zhan’s brows furrowed. "What’s that supposed to mean? You playing with my feelings?"
"..."
Chu Zhan lost his patience, yanking her to face him and staring straight at her. "I’m telling you, Shi Nuan, if you don’t give me a reason today, I’ll drag you to jump into the river with me!"
"..."
Shi Nuan gave him an indescribable look, and suddenly remembered a dirty joke she’d heard from Nianyang before: want to date? If you don’t agree, then we die together.
She couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Chu Zhan snorted. "Give me an answer!"
The girl spoke very seriously. "Chu Zhan, you know I have a second uncle. He’s super strict with me. He told me I can’t date before I’m twenty."
At the mention of Lu Xingshen, Chu Zhan instantly lost his appetite, speaking impatiently. "So you just listen to your second uncle that much? You’re spending the rest of your life with your man, not with him. At the end of the day he’s just your second uncle, not your parents."
"But he’s the one who’s actually taken care of me for over ten years. And he doesn’t want me to be with you. Otherwise he’ll make things hard for you. He’s got a lot of power."
Shi Nuan still told the truth. She didn’t want Chu Zhan getting dragged down because of her.
Chu Zhan was no fool either. "So that time you said you hated me, it was because he used me to threaten you?"
"..."
Well damn, busted.
Shi Nuan simply nodded in silence.
Chu Zhan hooked up a cold smile. So Lu Xingshen couldn’t hold back anymore, huh? In that case, he naturally had to send out a provocation.
"What exactly did he say to you? If you got together with me, was he going to send someone to kill me or something?"
Given Lu Xingshen’s temper, that was actually possible.
Shi Nuan sold Lu Xingshen out on the spot. "He’s got a lot of authority, Chu Zhan. I don’t want anything to happen to you because of me."
"Heh, he’s just a director of a jurisdictional institute. How far does he think his hand can reach?" Chu Zhan didn’t take it to heart.
"Besides, I’m already an engineer now. Other than Leader, no one can touch me. Nuannuan, don’t be scared."............
