Chapter 177 - 177: An Old Man Pretending to Be Young
Nan Zhe always felt that Nan Ge was biased.
Previously, when Nan Ge went out to shop, she would buy something for him on account that she was using his card.
Therefore, when he found out that Nan Ge had spent two million in one go to buy clothes for Shen Yanqing without buying him a single thing, he was really jealous.
Tsk, as if he didn’t have a girlfriend.
However, on careful thought, Qi Yan had really never bought him clothes.
So, what right did Shen Yanqing have to enjoy this service?!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Hence, he came to settle the score with Shen Yanqing. At the same time, he was curious about what Nan Ge had bought for this person.
However, after seeing the photo sent by Shen Yanqing, Nan Zhe was not envious at all. He even felt a little sympathetic.
He did not think that the clothes were ugly. The design of the clothes was good, but it was really difficult for ordinary people to pull them off.
Nan Zhe was less sensitive to colors, but even someone like him could feel how exaggerated the colors were through the screen. He usually did not dare to wear such clothes, let alone an ancient and stiff terracotta soldier like Shen Yanqing.
The three-piece suit seemed to be welded to his body.
Nan Zhe: [I was too harsh earlier. It’s not easy for you either.]
Two handshake emojis were added at the end.
Shen Yanqing pursed his lips and had nothing to say.
“Shen Yanqing, are you done?” Outside the door, Nan Ge leaned against the door and knocked gently.
Shen Yanqing seemed to have woken up from a dream. He put down his phone holding the jacket as he replied, “Wait a moment.”
Seeing that he had dawdled for so long, Nan Ge thought that he might need assistance. She asked again, “Do you not know how to wear them? Do you need my help?”
“…” Shen Yanqing replied that there was no need and asked her to wait a little longer.
“Did I buy the right size?” Nan Ge asked again.
“It’s not that.”
Nan Ge did not disturb him anymore and waited quietly outside.
Of course, Assistant Yuan and Miaomiao did not leave. Nan Ge was looking forward to it, and the two of them were no exception.
After waiting for a while, the door of the lounge finally opened with a click.
Shen Yanqing stood in front of the door and was about to step out when Nan Ge stopped him.
The two of them faced each other. Nan Ge looked at him in a daze and scanned him from head to toe.
Assistant Yuan and Miaomiao also looked over.
It was no exaggeration to say that Shen Yanqing was dressed as if he was wearing a palette.
Assistant Yuan and Miaomiao really wanted to take out their phones and secretly take a photo to send to the group chat. Unfortunately, they did not have the guts to do so.
Nan Ge had originally thought that no matter how the clothes looked on Shen Yanqing, she would just close her eyes and praise him.
Praise would solve everything.
However, after taking a look… she swallowed the praise at the tip of her tongue.
Nan Ge bit her lip and hesitated.
The two of them faced each other with different thoughts running through their heads.
One of them was afraid that she would be sad, so he braced himself and did not dare to say that the clothes were ugly. The smile on his face was a little bitter.
Seeing that he was still smiling as if he was very satisfied with the clothes, the other person was afraid that it would dampen his enthusiasm. The word “ugly” was on the tip of her tongue, but she could not bring herself to say it.
After a while, Assistant Yuan could not help but save the situation. “President Shen, I don’t think these clothes are suitable for work… There are quite a lot of people downstairs.”
In other words, if he wore this set of clothes later, he would directly book the most popular topic in the company’s various departments’ group chat for the next week.
“It’s alright to wear them at home.” With their doors closed, they could wear whatever they wanted for the fun of it. As long as he did not go out in these clothes, he could do anything he wanted.
This outfit really made him look like an old man pretending to be young.
Nan Ge agreed. She looked around and picked out a set of more ordinary-looking clothes from the pile she had bought and handed them to
Shen Yanqing. “These should work better on you.”
They were casual in style and color and considered normal in the pile.
Shen Yanqing did not think and accepted the second set of clothes without hesitation.
To be honest, he did not dare to go out in the first set of clothes.
He could only wear it for Nan Ge to see.
After waiting for another ten minutes, Nan Gels eyes lit up when she saw him come Oilt- “This set looks good!”
The only exaggerated thing about this set of clothes was the pattern printed on the back of the jacket. However, the black jacket pattern was white and extremely simple.
If she had to be honest, the print was just a little too cute.
Nan Ge took off his glasses and casually styled his hair. Then, she put on some accessories for him and stood two steps away. She carefully sized him up.
“It’s not awkward at all. Really!”
When Shen Yanqing came out, he did not look in the mirror. If Nan Ge said it was good, he trusted her.
However, judging from Assistant Yuan and Miaomiao’s reactions, this set of clothes should be safe for wearing.
“You’re a male university student now.” Nan Ge gave him the highest evaluation.
Shen Yanqing did not refute this, but he did not believe it either.
He had some self-awareness.
When he was young, he was also young and mature. It had a lot to do with living with his grandfather when he was young. He always looked calm and composed.
During his university days, other than looking a little younger than he was now, there did not seem to be much change. In other words, he did not look like an energetic university student in university, let alone now.
“Oh, right. This is for you.” Nan Ge remembered the watch and quickly handed it to him.
Seeing this watch, Shen Yanqing finally understood why Nan Zhe said that he really deserved to die.
When he saw the clothes in front of him, although he did not know the exact price of these brands, he could roughly estimate them.
However, after thinking about it, he thought that Nan Zhe was deliberately exaggerating the two million.
Until he saw the watch.
Seeing that he did not move, Nan Ge blinked and observed his expression. “Don’t you like it?”
“It’s not that.” Shen Yanqing came back to his senses. Under her gaze, he took off the watch on his wrist and replaced it with the one she had given him.
Nan Ge was overjoyed today, but she did not disturb Shen Yanqing for long. She was going to have dinner with the debate team tonight. She wanted to reject them yesterday, but she already had dinner with Shen Yanqing yesterday. At the same time, she could go through the script with them today, so she agreed.
After Nan Ge left, Shen Yanqing did not change out of his clothes. When he came out of the elevator after work at night, many people in the lobby stopped and looked at him in a daze.
Shen Yanqing did not seem to hear the staff. He had planned to go back tonight and pick Nan Ge up later. Unexpectedly, he received a call from an old classmate and asked him to go over for dinner.
It was still the same old classmates from the last time. The purpose of this gathering was simple enough. One of them was getting married. “Yanqing, you really have to come and be my best man.”
Shen Yanqing was helpless. “Can’t they do it?”
“That won’t do. They’re all ugly. You’re the best-looking guy among us.”
As soon as he said this, the others were unhappy and threatened not to give him red packets.
After bantering for a while, the guy getting married saw that Shen Yanqing was not interested, so he did not force him.
“When the time comes, you can sit at the same table. You’re allowed to bring a date.”
“We’re hanging out chatting. Did you have to expose our shortcomings? Do any of us have girlfriends?”
They were getting on their age, but still single.
At this moment, Shen Yanqing put down his teacup. “Then save a seat for me.
I’ll bring someone.”
