“Miss Chen is right. We are friends.”
Lu Yan followed along with Chen Nian’s words, and then looked at Shen Yan. “There’s no need for formalities between friends. You guys can pack up first. I’ll take the things down first.”
After he said that, he pulled their luggage out.
Anyway, all couples started out as friends.
Chen Nian looked at Lu Yan’s back, as he left. She elbowed Shen Yan and asked wryly, “Don’t you think Lu Yan is better than Fu Hang?”
Shen Yan rolled her eyes silently. She looked at Chen Nian helplessly and said, “We shouldn’t have let him send us back.”
Chen Nian had grown up together with Shen Yan. The smile on her face froze upon hearing Shen Yan say that. She followed behind Shen Yan hurriedly when seeing her walk out.
“Yanyan.” She walked to Shen Yan’s side and looked at her with a serious expression. “Do you really not want to be in a relationship?”
As Chen Nian said this, she stared right into Shen Yan’s eyes.
Although Shen Yan had always stated that she wanted to make money, she felt that she was just running away from her feelings.
She did not want Shen Yan to run away any longer.
Lu Yan was a nice person, and he treated Shen Yan pretty well. There were things that one needed to grasp immediately instead of regretting it after missing out.
Shen Yan’s expression froze. She rarely saw Chen Nian look so serious. She thought about it carefully and stated, “I really don’t want to be in a relationship now.”
Chen Nian did not say anything. She could tell that Shen Yan was actually trying to escape from her feelings. She was probably afraid of being hurt again!
By the time they reached the parking lot, Lu Yan had already placed the luggage into the trunk.
Chen Nian planned to take a nap once they got in the car. However, she did not expect Shen Yan to have already plugged in her headphones. She sat in the back seat with her eyes closed.
An hour later, the car pulled up below Shen Yan’s apartment.
Lu Yan helped to carry the luggage upstairs. Chen Nian tactfully carried her own suitcase home and closed the door behind her without hesitation.
Shen Yan looked at Chen Nian’s back and smiled a little helplessly.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She took out her phone and saw that Chen Nian had sent her a message.
Chen Nian: Why don’t you try dating Lu Yan? You can get a new boyfriend if it really doesn’t work out.
Shen Yan knew that Chen Nian still had not given up.
However, she felt that she should properly thank Lu Yan for sending her back this time. She was thinking of treating Lu Yan to a meal tomorrow.
Lu Yan looked at Shen Yan in a seemingly good mood and questioned, “Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat together?”
It was getting late. Just when Shen Yan was about to turn him down, her stomach started growling at an inappropriate time.
Lu Yan helped Shen Yan put her suitcase back home before leaving with her.
“I’ll call for Chen Nian to join us.”
As soon as she said that, Chen Nian, who was next door, opened the door immediately and said, “I’ve already eaten. You guys can go ahead!”
After saying that, she closed her door mercilessly.
Shen Yan looked at the door of Chen Nian’s apartment speechlessly. If she guessed wrongly, Chen Nian must be lying at the door and eavesdropping the entire time.
Shen Yan had no choice but to go downstairs with Lu Yan.
Lu Yan brought Shen Yan to the porridge restaurant where they had eaten previously. The two of them asked for a private lounge.
Soon, the waiter brought the dishes over.
Lu Yan drank a few mouthfuls of the porridge and seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Shen Yan with a worried expression. After hesitating for a long time, he inquired, “Are you angry at me last night?”
Shen Yan thought of what had happened last night, and her hand that was holding the spoon paused slightly. Then, she looked at Lu Yan with a smile and asked in puzzlement, “What makes you say that?”
A trace of pain flashed across Lu Yan’s eyes, and he lowered his eyes. When he raised his head again, a hopeful smile appeared on his face.. “Yanyan, I’ve liked you for many years. Can you think about letting me be your boyfriend?”
