Chapter 548: Chapter 537: Why Not Let My Brother Teach You?
Actually, she had other friends, but she just wanted Qiao Jing to accompany her.
Because now, Qiao Jing’s place in her heart weighed more than any of the other friends.
With no choice, Qiao Jing cast a glance at Zhan Nanqing and pursed her red lips.
“These are not the point, the point is I don’t know how to play golf.”
Since it was a golf gathering, surely everyone attending would have to play golf.
But she had never been exposed to this type of ball sport, had no idea how to play, and was even more clueless about the rules of golf.
And the timing was too rushed, practically right after she finished her shift and had eaten, she would have to rush over, leaving her no time to look up the rules and how-to online.
Zhan Nanqing knitted her brows, pondering for a moment.
“This is indeed a problem, although I’m not very good at golf either, but at least I’m not a newbie and should be able to teach you a little.”
She paused momentarily and then suddenly thought of someone,
“No wait, if you accompany me then, my brother will definitely go too, why don’t we let my brother teach you?”
A flicker of surprise appeared in Qiao Jing’s eyes as she looked sideways at Zhan Nanqing.
“Is Zhan Qipei really good at playing golf?”
She had originally thought that Zhan Qipei was someone like her, too busy with work to have time to develop hobbies.
After all, since she had met Zhan Qipei, the man, apart from work, was always following her around, and she had never seen him play golf.
Pride surfaced on Zhan Nanqing’s face as she tilted her chin up slightly.
“Of course, who do you think he is? That’s my brother. He’s really good at golf. After all, an amateur scoring 70–80 strokes is already considered a pro, but my brother can score 65, when he personally teaches you, you’ll definitely learn in no time.”
Seeing this, Qiao Jing had no choice but to agree.
Only then did Zhan Nanqing show a satisfied smile, cuddling up to Qiao Jing’s arm.
“Qiao Jing, you’re so nice. How about I just go with you later? My brother can drive himself.”
Right now, all she wanted to do was to play with Qiao Jing every day, as for her brother…
It wasn’t like he couldn’t go by himself.
Qiao Jing furrowed her delicate brows, the image of Zhan Qipei cooking emerging in her mind.
“I’ll go over after I eat at home.”
If she didn’t eat at home, Zhan Qipei would definitely put on the airs of a mistreated lady of high society again.
Zhan Nanqing sighed and reluctantly gave in.
“Then I’ll go back with you. I’m going to freeload a meal.”
Qiao Jing agreed, ready to see the next patient.
“You send him a message.”
Zhan Nanqing nodded and sat back down to play with her phone.
By evening, inside Nantai Apartment.
As soon as Qiao Jing opened the door, she was greeted with the tantalizing aroma of food.
Zhan Nanqing inhaled sharply, quickly changed her shoes, and hurried inside first.
“Qiao Jing, did my brother learn his cooking skills from you? I actually would prefer to eat your cooking.”
Ever since she had tasted Qiao Jing’s cooking, she couldn’t forget that flavor.
Primarily because it was truly delicious!
Not that she hadn’t had her brother’s cooking, but what her brother made was worlds apart from Qiao Jing’s.
After changing shoes, Qiao Jing walked in slowly, bringing Zhan Nanqing to the dining table.
“He learned by himself.”
At that moment, Zhan Qipei, carrying dishes from the kitchen, saw Qiao Jing, and his dark eyes instantly brightened.
However, upon seeing Zhan Nanqing by her side, his expression noticeably dimmed.
After hearing what Zhan Qipei said, Zhan Nanqing was stunned as well, standing there in a daze.
“What do you mean ‘why did I come’? Brother, didn’t you know I was coming over?”
She remembered she had sent a message. Why did her brother seem completely unaware that she was coming over for dinner?
Qiao Jing sensed something was amiss and furrowed her brows.
She had specifically instructed Zhan Nanqing to send a message to Zhan Qipei because she was worried about exactly this scenario—not having dinner prepared for Zhan Nanqing.
And now it seemed that Zhan Qipei didn’t know Zhan Nanqing was coming for dinner?
Zhan Qipei knitted his eyebrows, which were as misty as smoke, and his gaze fell on Qiao Jing.
“I didn’t know she was coming.”
Zhan Nanqing thought she was suffering from a memory disorder and took out her phone to check.
When she saw the message she had sent, she handed the phone to Zhan Qipei.
“Brother, I sent you a message, didn’t you see it?”
After sending the message, she went straight to watching videos and didn’t pay attention to whether her brother had replied or not.
But since she had sent a message, her brother should have been able to see it.
Zhan Qipei glanced at the phone screen impassively.
After getting off work, he hadn’t received a message from Qiao Jing, so he hadn’t thought to check his phone.
Moreover, aside from Qiao Jing’s messages which had a special notification sound, other messages didn’t, and since Zhan Nanqing sent only one message, it was even less conspicuous.
Zhan Nanqing, angered, took her phone back and eyed the lavish dishes on the table, her voice rising with a sense of grievance.
“So I’m the redundant one now?”
She thought the food her brother had cooked smelled delicious when she walked in, but it didn’t matter how tasty it was if there wasn’t a portion for her.
Then what was the point of her coming here?
She should have just gone straight to dinner with Qiao Jing at a restaurant and then to the party.
Zhan Qipei pressed his lips together, giving Zhan Nanqing a look of ‘you should know,’ as he glanced at her.
The food he made didn’t include a portion for Zhan Nanqing; her being there was pointless.
Zhan Nanqing suppressed the rage in her heart and took Qiao Jing’s hand directly.
“Qiao Jing, will you join me for dinner outside? Let’s find a restaurant near the golf course, so we can head straight there after eating.”
She shouldn’t have come!
She should’ve done what she originally thought, taking Qiao Jing straight there and letting her brother go by himself.
Even though she knew her brother only had eyes for Qiao Jing, it didn’t mean that she should be denied food even when she took the initiative to come over!
Even if there was dog food to eat, it couldn’t really fill you up!!
Zhan Qipei’s gaze fell on Qiao Jing’s wrist, and he took a few steps forward to pull the woman back to his side.
“She’s eating at home. Have the driver take you out to eat, and besides, why do you want to take Qiao Jing to a restaurant near the golf course?”
He remembered Lu Zijiao had specifically called to ask him about a gathering related to golf, but he had rejected it without hesitation.
If there was time to play golf, he’d rather spend it at home with Qiao Jing.
But why did his sister want to take Qiao Jing there?
Zhan Nanqing, looking at the two standing together, felt indignant.
“Qiao Jing is accompanying me to a get-together. You didn’t even cook for me, brother, so I don’t want you to join the get-together.”
She was so angry it hurt, and the only way to retaliate was to do the same to her brother.
After all, her brother cared about Qiao Jing the most.
Zhan Qipei frowned deeply, his thin lips parted slightly, and he slowly uttered two words.
