Chapter 10: A gentleman with a dignified manner and unparalleled appearance

Ge Weiwei is not a person who hides things. Facing Shen Nanxi's puzzled look, she raised her chin and honestly admitted: "Yes, that's right, I like Shen Yu."

Shen Yu happened to come out of the office. When he heard these words, his brows slightly frowned and he looked up at Shen Nanxi.

Ge Weiwei seemed to have sensed something and tilted her head to see Shen Yu standing there.

And Shen Nanxi stared at Ge Weiwei in amazement...

Restaurant, window seat.

Shen Nanxi and Ge Weiwei sat face to face.

The ordered meal arrived. Ge Weiwei stretched out her hand and pushed it in front of Shen Nanxi, with a light pink flush on her cheeks: "Well, eat."

Shen Nanxi picked up the chopsticks and teased, "Miss Ge is also shy?"

Ge Weiwei glared at Shen Nanxi and said, "Don't talk too much while eating." Then she murmured in a low voice, "How should I know that Shen Yu would come out at that time?"

Fortunately, Shen Yu had something to do and did not have lunch with them, otherwise she would not know how to face them at noon today.

It's one thing to be honest with your bestie, but if the person you love hears it, you'll be dead.

No matter how thick-skinned Ge Weiwei was, she couldn't hold on.

Shen Nanxi took two bites of the food: "When did you like Shen Yu?"

Ge Weiwei picked up a piece of honey-glazed barbecued pork with chopsticks and put it in the bowl. She didn't eat it, but poked it with her chopsticks and said, "When I was in high school."

Shen Nanxi and Ge Weiwei both attended private schools.

In her second year of high school, Shen Nanxi transferred to Ge Weiwei's school because Shen Mushan's work focus shifted, and that's how they met.

But Shen Yu didn't go.

Liked it in high school?
Shen Nanxi asked tentatively: "Love at first sight?"

She remembered that Shen Yu came to the school to look for her several times, and one time, Ge Weiwei was there.

Ge Weiwei nodded.

Shen Nanxi was not surprised at all to get this answer.

Shen Yu has been good-looking since he was a child. Although he cannot compare with Xie Jingwei's charm that can captivate everyone as soon as he appears on the stage, he still stands out among ordinary people.

He has regular facial features and handsome eyebrows. When he smiles, he is gentle and elegant, especially with a scholarly air.

Even Shen Mushan had praised Shen Yu more than once as "a gentleman of integrity and unparalleled character and appearance."

Shen Nanxi understands Ge Weiwei's love at first sight because she is obsessed with looks.

Seeing that Ge Weiwei didn't want to eat any vegetables, he ordered her a cup of bubble milk tea and an egg tart.

When Ge Weiwei is depressed, she likes to eat sweet things.

After ordering, Shen Nanxi asked: "Are you coming to Hong Kong for Shen Yu this time?"

Ge Weiwei is the same age as her, and is twenty-five this year. If it was really love at first sight in the second year of high school, then if you calculate the time carefully, she has liked Shen Yu for seven years.

Seven years is not a short time.

Ge Weiwei held the milk tea, took two sips of the pearls at the bottom of the cup, and uttered a soft "hmm".

Shen Nanxi: "Is it a confession? Or a farewell?"

Ge Weiwei was startled, and raised her head to look at Shen Nanxi, her almond-shaped eyes slightly red: "Nanxi..."

Shen Nanxi understood Ge Weiwei's personality. She might act impulsively due to momentary rage, but after the impulse wore off, she would compromise reluctantly.

The year she graduated from college, Shen Nanxi asked Ge Weiwei what she wanted to do in the future.

Ge Weiwei said very relaxedly: "Find a rich man to marry."

Ge Weiwei has a smart and capable brother and a doted sister. Her status is neither good nor bad, so while she enjoys favorable conditions, she must also be prepared to pay the corresponding price.

Marriage is her best value.

After a moment of silence, Ge Weiwei smiled with a positive attitude: "Nan Xi, if it were you, what would you choose?"

"I?"

Shen Nanxi swallowed the food in her mouth, thought carefully for a few seconds, and combined with the current situation, she replied calmly: "Marry someone."

"cut!"

Ge Weiwei rolled her eyes: "You won't!"

He refuted Shen Nanxi's words very confidently.

Shen Nanxi was stunned: "Why not?"

Ge Weiwei didn't even need to think before saying, "You look easy to talk to, but you're actually stubborn. You have your own plans for everything you say and do. You won't do anything you don't want to do, even if the sky falls!"

Shen Nanxi understands Ge Weiwei, and likewise, Ge Weiwei understands Shen Nanxi.

"Really?" Shen Nanxi paused with a smile.

I tried twice to pick up the food on the dish with the chopsticks in my hand, but failed.

Ge Weiwei nodded firmly: "Yes!"

After paying the bill, the two walked out of the restaurant.

Shen Nanxi asked Ge Weiwei: "What do you like about Shen Yu over the years?"

Ge Weiwei took a big bite of the sandwich in her hand and said vaguely, "I like his asexual look. He looks very eager to conquer."

Shen Nanxi: "..."

In a word, the beautiful filter of seven years of secret love has been shattered.

Shen Nanxi took five minutes to recover and said, "The scenery of Victoria Harbour at night is nice, suitable for a date."

Ge Weiwei was eating a sandwich seriously and didn't react for a moment. She took a few steps forward and suddenly stopped: "Nan Xi, are you encouraging me to confess to Shen Yu?"

Shen Nanxi: "Shen Yu is a good person. If he likes you too, you can give it a try."

Ge Weiwei hummed but said nothing, her eyes fixed on the smoked bacon in the sandwich.

Shen Nanxi knew her concerns and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Shen Yuming is nominally a student sponsored by my father, but in reality he is no different from my father's son. If you succeed, Uncle Ge will also agree."

This was not what Ge Weiwei was worried about, but since Shen Nanxi said so, she didn't know what to say. She bit off the piece of bacon she had been staring at for a long time and said, "Okay! I'll go and confess!"

Shen Nanxi will accompany Shen Mushan to the hospital tomorrow, and will attend Wen Ping's wine tasting event the day after tomorrow. Shen Yu will stay in the company for the next two days to take care of everything for her. He is very busy and has no time.

Ge Weiwei set Friday as the confession day.

It was a success, and she and Shen Yu took a night tour of Victoria Harbour.

After failing, she kicked Shen Yu out and booked a flight back to Beijing!

Shen Nanxi listened to her plan, smiled helplessly, transferred another sum of money to the previous card, and then returned to the company to continue following up on Wen Ping's project.

Occasionally I would lose my mind and think about what Ge Weiwei said.

After get off work, drive back to Repulse Bay.

The food has been served. Wash your hands and sit down to eat.

Jiang Wanrou enthusiastically picked up food for her, while Shen Mushan was worried about tomorrow's examination.

Xie Jingwei didn't say anything for a rare moment. He ate two mouthfuls of food, lost his appetite, and went upstairs to sleep.

Shen Nanxi pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, Mom." Then she looked at Shen Mushan: "Dad, it's just a checkup, don't worry."

Jiang Wanrou also said: "That's right, you are so old, but you are still afraid of seeing a doctor, aren't you ashamed?"

Shen Mushan frowned: "I'm not afraid, I'm worried that even if he comes, I won't be able to take good care of him."

Shen Mushan suffers from primary cardiomyopathy, coronary heart disease and multivalvular disease, which cannot be cured by surgery and medication, and he needs a heart transplant.

In the past few years, he has been using medication to procrastinate.

Even if there is a suitable heart, we dare not perform the operation.

He was worried that the operation would fail and he would die, leaving Shen Nanxi to be bullied.

Shen Nanxi's eyes dimmed and the smile froze on the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Wanrou pouted three times beside him: "Shen Mushan, if you don't know how to talk, don't say anything, so as not to make my Nannan worry."

Shen Mushan looked up at Shen Nanxi, put away the sadness between his brows, and forced a smile: "Nannan, I was just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Shen Nanxi smiled again: "It's okay, Dad, you will be fine."

After dinner, Shen Nanxi talked with Shen Mushan for a while before going upstairs.

When I entered the room, Xie Jingwei was already asleep on the sofa.

The hair covered her eyebrows and eyes, and the allure that could captivate everyone was mostly gone. With a straight nose and light pink lips, she looked like a clean and innocent porcelain doll.

Shen Nanxi took a look and then looked away, going to the bathroom to take a shower.

After washing away the day's fatigue, I threw back the quilt and went to bed.

After turning off the bedside lamp, the room fell into darkness. As soon as Shen Nanxi closed her eyes, she heard Xie Jingwei's voice.

"Nanxi, don't worry, Dad will be fine."

The sound was very light and soft, like the mist at night, which stirred up a hazy feeling of intoxication and then clouded one's mind.

Shen Nanxi's long eyelashes moved, but she didn't open her eyes.

After a long time, he said "hmm" as a response to Xie Jingwei.

Xie Jingwei raised the corners of his mouth in the dark and smiled happily.
