Sheng Ning’an: "That... I was just bluffing her, we’re not in that kind of relationship."
"Got it, got it, you’re still young, obviously, studying comes first."
"Right, right, right, don’t worry, we definitely won’t tell anyone."
These people said they believed her, but the way they looked at her and Xu Weiran clearly wasn’t innocent.
Sheng Ning’an turned her head to look at Xu Weiran, signaling with her eyes: Aren’t you going to explain?
Xu Weiran looked back at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, responding with his gaze: Do you think they would believe me if I spoke?
Sheng Ning’an: I’m tired, let it be!
Let these people think whatever they want to think!
Anyway, since a certain someone is not worried, why should she be!
It’s not like she works with them.
She just didn’t expect that a group of grown uncles would promise not to tell anyone, yet turn around and blab in front of Sheng Yeli.
Sheng Ning’an had barely finished a week’s life practice and upon returning home, she found that Sheng Yeli was actually there.
"Young Uncle, you didn’t go to the laboratory today?" She dropped her luggage at the door, changed shoes, and headed straight for the living room. As soon as she sat down on the couch, she saw Sheng Yeli come down from upstairs.
Sheng Yeli looked at her and said, "I was waiting for you!"
Sheng Ning’an, puzzled, looked at him and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Sheng Yeli: "What’s going on with you and Xu Weiran? I heard from colleagues at the laboratory that you two are dating?"
"That’s not true, it’s all a misunderstanding."
Sheng Ning’an couldn’t help but internally rant about everyone at the research institute.
A bunch of researchers and yet so gossip-prone.
How can they work in scientific research with such loose lips?
"So what is exactly going on?" Sheng Yeli eyed her skeptically.
"It’s nothing, just the usual annoying guys at school, I just pulled him into acting a scene with me. Anyway, we are really not dating," Sheng Ning’an didn’t want to go into the details of her feud with Li Mengtao, as it was really just a case of female jealousy.
Sheng Yeli, seeing that she didn’t seem to be lying, still advised her, "You are still young, your main task should be to study well. Before you get into college, no dating allowed!"
"I know! Don’t worry, if I have someone I like, I’ll definitely come to you first for approval." With their relationship, she would definitely tell him first if she were dating!
After a pause, she added, "But honestly, what do you think about Xu Weiran?"
Her young uncle seemed quite opposed to her being together with Xu Weiran, and she was curious if there was something about Xu Weiran that her young uncle didn’t like.
Sheng Yeli said sternly, "You two are not suitable."
"Why not?" Sheng Ning’an pressed.
Sheng Yeli looked at her once again.
Sheng Ning’an hurriedly explained, "Don’t misunderstand, I’m just curious. It seems like you don’t like him."
Sheng Yeli: "I don’t dislike him!"
He didn’t dislike him, but dating this girl was not okay.
Sheng Ning’an understood his point and asked, "So, does it mean if I go to college and then date him, you wouldn’t object?"
"He’s eight years older than you!"
The little princess of the Sheng Family, how could she date a man eight years older than her.
Sheng Ning’an: "Is it just because of the age?"
Apart from his age, Xu Weiran was quite suitable in every other aspect, even Sheng Yeli couldn’t deny that he wasn’t unworthy of this girl.
