Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After dinner, Shen Junqing and Qin Lu chatted with Old Master An for a while and, seeing that it was getting late, took their leave.
As for Nan Yan, she went upstairs after finishing her meal to prepare the next stage of medicine for Lin Zhiyan.
“Sister, are you still busy?”
Jiang Nai knocked on the door and peeked her cute head inside.
“Hmm? I’m done,” Nan Yan said, as she packed the newly made pills into individual bottles, before looking up at Jiang Nai. “What’s up?
“Nothing, just wanted to talk to my big sister,” Jiang Nai stuck her tongue out.
“But if you’re busy, I won’t disturb you.”
Despite being born into poverty and enduring unfair treatment throughout her life, she maintained a positive outlook.
Life kissed her with pain, but she responded with a song.
That was her attitude.
She couldn’t choose her birth, but she could choose her attitude towards life.
She was determined to make her life vibrant!
Nan Yan finished tidying up, wiped her hands with a disinfectant wipe, then walked to the door. She ruffled Jiang Nails hair gently and said, “Come on, let’s go to my room.”
In her room, Nan Yan picked out two lychee-flavored lollipops from the coffee table and handed one to Jiang Nai. She settled onto the couch, unwrapping one for herself and placing it in her mouth.
“What do you want to talk to your sister about? Life?”
“Sister, can I keep following you?” Jiang Nai, with her lollipop in hand, looked a bit nervous. “I won’t be a freeloader. After I graduate, I’ll work and give you all the money!”
She didn’t want to go back to the welfare institution. While she had deep gratitude for growing up there, only by staying with Nan Yan did she have a chance to pursue her dreams!
She didn’t want to be an ordinary person, living a mundane life according to the status quo.
Once, she thought her life would continue on this path.
Until she met Nan Yan…
In just a few days, she had thought it through and become even more determined about what she wanted to do.
Only by becoming strong could she repay the head of orphanage who had raised her and protect her younger brothers and sisters!
“Maybe it’s not impossible.” Nan Yan, with candy in her mouth, spoke gently, “But staying by my side comes with conditions.”
“Sister, please tell me!” Jiang Nail s eyes sparkled as she looked at her.
Nan Yan’s voice remained calm and measured as she slowly said, “I’ve looked into your academic performance, and given your abilities, being the top student in the whole school is not a problem. However, I require you to rank within the top three in the city.”
“If you can achieve that, not only can you stay with me, but I will also cover your tuition, living expenses, and any expenses related to pursuing your interests in the future.”
Jiang Nai bit her lip, determination flickering in her eyes. She spoke with unwavering resolve, “Sister, I will work hard and definitely not disappoint you!”
Nan Yan reached out and patted her head. “Good luck.”
“Okay!” Jiang Nai blushed a little.
Her sister was really beautiful, more beautiful than any woman she had ever seen!
Not only beautiful but also so capable!
She was determined to become strong like her sister and never let anyone bully her again!
The next day.
Nan Yan was awakened by a phone call.
She opened her eyes and checked the time.
Five-thirty.
She had half an hour before her usual waking time at six for morning exercise.
She rubbed her somewhat hazy head, picked up the phone, and answered.
Not fully awake yet, her voice sounded a bit nasal, “Brother, why are you calling so early? Is something wrong?”
Qin Lu’s deep and pleasant voice came through slowly, “I just wanted to make sure you don’t have any plans today.”
Nan Yan:
Seriously!
He woke her up early in the morning just to ask if she had plans?
Before she could respond, Qin Lu’s voice sounded in the receiver again, “Brother doesn’t want to be stood up again.”
Nan Yan pinched her forehead.
It seemed like he was blaming her for making him come all the way yesterday for nothing?
In this matter, she was not in the right.
“I don’t have any plans today.”
Nan Yan’s sleepiness disappeared, and her voice returned to normal.
Qin Lu could imagine the displeased expression on the little girl’s face. He smiled faintly, “Don’t eat at home. Get ready, I’ll pick you up.”
Nan Yan suddenly realized that Qin Lu wanted to have breakfast with her.
“Come at seven-thirty.”
“Okay.”
Qin Lu replied with a smile and hung up the phone.
Then, he instructed Wu Yue to have the plane stand by.
On the other side, Nan Yan didn’t go back to sleep.
Since she was already awake, she decided to start her training half an hour earlier today.
Jiang Nai was used to getting up early, usually around five in the morning, to help the servants with cleaning.
Even though the servants told her she didn’t need to help, she still insisted on coming early every day to find something to do.
The servants couldn’t dissuade her, so they let her help.
When Nan Yan came down for her morning exercise, she saw Jiang Nai, wearing an apron and arm sleeves, working busily. She called out to her.
“Little Nai.”
Jiang Nai spotted her and quickly jogged over.
“Sister, it’s the weekend today. Why did you wake up so early?”
“What are you doing?” Nan Yan asked.
Jiang Nai grinned, “I’m used to being busy at the orphanage, and since I have free time, I wanted to find something to do.”
The servants told her she didn’t need to do these tasks, but she still came early every day to help.
Nan Yan looked at her and said, “You don’t need to do these tasks. With this time, you should focus more on studying. The high school entrance exam is just a month and a half away, and you need to concentrate on your studies.”
Jiang Nai bit her lip, then, in all seriousness, she said, “Sis, I won’t neglect my studies!”
“Then you manage your time. After the high school entrance exam, think about what you want to learn, and I’ll find a teacher for you.”
“Thank you, Sis!” Jiang Nai nodded eagerly. “I’ll go back to my tasks now!”
“Go ahead.”
Jiang Nai quickly trotted back to her duties. Watching her busy figure, Nan Yan smiled faintly and began her daily workout.
At seven thirty, Qin Lu arrived on time.
Nan Yan finished her shower, changed her clothes, and grabbed her phone before heading downstairs. She saw him already sitting on the couch, waiting for her.
“Brother, let’s go.”
The two returned from the old mansion to the Lantis Hotel and headed straight for the airstrip. Seeing the private plane already on standby, ready to take off at any moment, Nan Yan raised an eyebrow.
“Brother, where are you planning to take me?”
Qin Lu parked the car in the designated spot and explained, “There’s an auction today, and I thought I’d take you to check it out.”
Nan Yan thought to herself, could this be telepathy?
Just yesterday, she was considering finding a few auctions to send her T-1 reagent for bidding, and today, Qin Lu is taking her to an auction in person. “We’ve prepared breakfast on the plane, as well as the formal attire you’ll need.”
“Oh…”
He really did think of everything.
Once they boarded the plane, they found Wu Yue already inside. The private jet was luxuriously furnished, with ample space and even a king-sized bed measuring 2.5 meters by 2.5 meters.
Qin Lu spoke gently, “Let’s have breakfast first. If you feel tired after eating, you can take a nap. We have a three-and-a-half-hour flight ahead of us..”
