Chapter 1058: Chapter 1082: Openly and Brazenly
Shi Nuan choked, "You really got addicted to calling yourself that, huh? Donāt forget Nianyang also calls you āgeā. You trying to make it so I canāt even look this form of address in the eye in the future?"
"Thatās different." Chu Zhan raised his brows, lazily curling his lips into a smile, blatant seduction written all over it. "Nianyang is my real little sister. Iām your qing-gege."
As soon as those words fell, a rush of heat followed her veins straight up to her head.
How could heāhow could he be so shamelessly blunt?
Yeah, people were all about free love nowadays, but who dared to be so bold as to keep "qing-gege" on the tip of their tongue?
This show-off of a man!
Shi Nuan bit out his name hard, "Chu Zhan!"
Chu Zhanās lips curved higher. He reached out to touch her lower lip, rubbing it lightly, teasing and lazy. "Donāt bite. That belongs to ge. Only I get to bite. If you bite it and ruin it, Iāll be too heartbroken to settle the score with you."
Oh, heās really on a roll, huh.
Shi Nuan took a deep breath, annoyed. "If you keep fooling around, Iām not talking to you anymore."
"Come on now." Chu Zhan ran his tongue along his back teeth, voice laced with laughter. "So you canāt handle a little teasing? What am I gonna do with you in the future? How am I supposed to act serious around you?"
"..."
Shi Nuan rolled her eyes and turned to leave, but Chu Zhan hauled her right back into his arms.
"Running away from the problem, is that it?" Chu Zhan kissed her ear. "You flirt with me and then wonāt give me an answer, and you call me a scumbag? I think youāre the real scumbag here."
Shi Nuanās voice tightened. "Chu Zhan, I like you, but I canāt be with you."
???
Chu Zhanās brows furrowed. "Whatās that supposed to mean? You playing with my feelings?"
"..."
Chu Zhan lost his patience, yanking her to face him and staring straight at her. "Iām telling you, Shi Nuan, if you donāt give me a reason today, Iāll drag you to jump into the river with me!"
"..."
Shi Nuan gave him an indescribable look, and suddenly remembered a dirty joke sheād heard from Nianyang before: want to date? If you donāt agree, then we die together.
She couldnāt help but laugh out loud. Chu Zhan snorted. "Give me an answer!"
The girl spoke very seriously. "Chu Zhan, you know I have a second uncle. Heās super strict with me. He told me I canāt date before Iām twenty."
At the mention of Lu Xingshen, Chu Zhan instantly lost his appetite, speaking impatiently. "So you just listen to your second uncle that much? Youāre spending the rest of your life with your man, not with him. At the end of the day heās just your second uncle, not your parents."
"But heās the one whoās actually taken care of me for over ten years. And he doesnāt want me to be with you. Otherwise heāll make things hard for you. Heās got a lot of power."
Shi Nuan still told the truth. She didnāt want Chu Zhan getting dragged down because of her.
Chu Zhan was no fool either. "So that time you said you hated me, it was because he used me to threaten you?"
"..."
Well damn, busted.
Shi Nuan simply nodded in silence.
Chu Zhan hooked up a cold smile. So Lu Xingshen couldnāt hold back anymore, huh? In that case, he naturally had to send out a provocation.
"What exactly did he say to you? If you got together with me, was he going to send someone to kill me or something?"
Given Lu Xingshenās temper, that was actually possible.
Shi Nuan sold Lu Xingshen out on the spot. "Heās got a lot of authority, Chu Zhan. I donāt want anything to happen to you because of me."
"Heh, heās just a director of a jurisdictional institute. How far does he think his hand can reach?" Chu Zhan didnāt take it to heart.
"Besides, Iām already an engineer now. Other than Leader, no one can touch me. Nuannuan, donāt be scared."............
