Chapter 139: Change Strategy and Take the Initiative
Chen An sat alone at the table in the restaurant, eating the porcini pancake brought back by Xu Hongdou and drinking juice. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he just did it at the time and didn't let anything slip, otherwise it would have been really Barbie Q.
His eyes were focused on a few small bags of beef jerky. He was very familiar with this stuff, and he knew without thinking that it must have been sent by Nan Nan to Xu Hongdou. Thinking of what happened just now, Chen An couldn't help but think about it. Xu Hongdou's reaction was not right, nine out of ten. The look in her eyes at that time was somewhat intriguing...
Moreover, in the morning, Damai had close contact with me, and that reaction was very normal, and could even be said to be quite subtle.
But what about Nana and Xu Hongdou? Chen An was sure that both of them had some feelings for him, but he didn't believe it to what extent.
Then the problem is very obvious. Xu Hongdou is sure that he likes her. According to her personality, the two of them can only be good friends at best. Without at least a year or two of getting along, they cannot meet the standards of a couple. After all, the problem between them is very obvious. Although age is not a problem, it is definitely a flaw.
But with Nana involved, it's different. Did Xu Hongdou trigger her territorial consciousness? If that's the case, then the problem is much simpler...
In the room upstairs, Da Mai sat on the edge of the bed, rubbed his hair, and recalled what had just happened in the yard.
After dinner, I chatted with Xiao Wu and fell asleep unconsciously. When I opened my eyes, I saw the scene just now. But why did I always feel like I heard a snapping sound? When Xiao Wu took the photo of me, it was so similar? But I obviously didn't feel it? Thinking of Xu Hongdou's look, Da Mai couldn't help but open his eyes and blink? Could it be...
Xu Hongdou, who was curled up in the quilt at this time, didn't know that Da Mai had discovered what had just happened. She held the baby in her arms and used her legs to squeeze the bastard to death, especially when she thought that he dared to grab her, and that the action seemed to be subconscious. Could it be that this guy had a girlfriend before? Should I ask him?
No, no, Xu Hongdou, Xu Hongdou, why are you asking? Don't you just treat him as your brother? What happened just now was just an accident. He has a girlfriend, isn't that normal? Are they all like you? Dating a boyfriend, breaking up after not seeing each other for a few months?
Chen An had no idea what was going on with Xu Hongdou. He had never found a suitable way to break the impasse between Nana and Xu Hongdou, but now he had it. So after eating, Chen An did not look for Xu Hongdou. He simply went back to his room, changed his clothes, took his cell phone, and headed towards the restaurant.
In the small restaurant, Nana was flipping through the novel on her phone. This had become her habit. After reading the latest chapter, she couldn't help but mutter, "Stinky Chen, why don't you update more often every day? Only five chapters are not enough for anyone to read..."
Chen An heard this as soon as he entered the door, and couldn't help but look at Nana with strange eyes.
Seeing Chen An coming in, Nana asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Chen An rolled his eyes at Nana and said, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that someone actually missed me so much. When I was not around, did they secretly curse me?"
Nana felt a little depressed when this was mentioned. She wanted to ask Chen An twice if he had any manuscripts saved, but she held back. This guy didn’t know how to be more proactive. Didn’t he know that girls are reserved?
"Who told you to update so slowly? Only 10,000 words a day, who would read it?"
Chen An sat down at the bar and said with a smile: "If the fans strongly request it, I actually still have 200,000 words in reserve."
"Really? There are so many?" Nana asked in surprise.
Chen An raised his hand and scratched Nana's nose.
Nana was not willing to be outdone. She raised her hand and grabbed Chen An's ear. "You are so bold, aren't you? How dare you tease your sister so blatantly?"
"Who teased me? Don't slander me. It was just a little dirty and I helped you wipe it off."
Nana twisted it slightly and asked, "You lied without blinking, right?"
"No, have you forgotten what I said yesterday?"
Nana snorted, and couldn't help but use more force with her fingers, "You're still saying it, right? I was attacked by surprise yesterday. Now we're across the bar. Can you try again?"
"Ouch, be gentle, be gentle, it might come off in a moment."
"It's just right that it fell off..." He said so, but the strength of his hands slowed down a lot. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Tell me, when will you send me the 200,000 in savings?"
Chen An rolled his eyes and said, "I can send it to you, but you must promise me that you will read it alone and not send it to anyone else or mention it to anyone else. Only then..."
Nana let go of her hand unhappily, "I'm not stupid, do I need you to remind me?"
Chen An rubbed his ears and looked at Nana, "Yes, you are not stupid, I am stupid, okay?"
Seeing Chen An's expression, Nana thought of Xie Zhiyao's matter, and couldn't help but look a little unnatural, "What do you mean by staring at me like that?"
"What do you think, sister Nana, whom I trust the most, you are the only one in the whole village who knows how much money I have. How did Xiaochun and Xie Zhiyao know?"
"No, you didn't agree, right?" Nana asked a little nervously.
"I almost agreed. Xie Zhiyao is quite good at deceiving people, but I didn't agree."
"That's good that he didn't agree." Nana breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Chen An would agree. After all, what if he lost money on the investment?
Seeing Nana's expression, Chen An asked, "Who did you tell about the fact that I was at the woodcarving workshop and had something custom made?"
"No, why am I saying this?"
Chen An couldn't help but frown after hearing this, "Could it be that Xiao Xia told Xie Zhiyao?"
Hearing this, Nana couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiao Chen, what's wrong? Does it have anything to do with this?"
Chen An beckoned Nana to lean over and whispered, "Xie Zhiyao invited me to invest in a woodcarving workshop."
"What?" Nana was also a little surprised by the answer.
"Don't look at me like that. I rejected Xiaochun yesterday. He came to me today and directly brought up the woodcarving workshop. If it weren't for what happened last time, how could he think I was interested in the woodcarving workshop?"
Nana felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. "Xiao Chen, how about I pay for the tea tray as a gift to you?"
Looking at Nana's expression, Chen An couldn't help but tease her, "Why did you suddenly give me such an expensive gift? Could it be the legendary saying that the first step to maintaining a handsome man is to use money to pave the way?"
"I'm not going to buy you a fight." Nana glared at Chen An and said with disdain, "Even if I want to keep you, I don't want someone like you. It would be better to find an obedient and warm boy who can talk and make girls happy."
Chen An curled his lips and sneered, "Is this all you can do? You can tell from the first glance that you are a single person who has never had any experience."
"Asshole, you are the one who is single..."
Chen An suddenly looked depressed, and said in a low voice, "Yes, you are right. I am indeed single now."
Nana looked at Chen An's sudden lost expression and thought that she had said something wrong and made him think of that woman. For a moment, she didn't know how to comfort him, and she became even more curious about this matter.
He gently reached out and pushed Chen An's shoulder, "Are you missing her again?"
"Chen An shook his head and stood up, "You go ahead and do your work, I'm leaving now."
Seeing Chen An looking somewhat dejected, Nana quickly walked around the bar and caught up with him, grabbing Chen An's arm and asking, "No, where are you going?"
Chen An was delighted, but still managed an ugly smile, "I'll go for a walk, I'll send you the manuscript later."
Seeing Chen An's expression, Nana suddenly felt a pain in her heart, "Wait a minute, I'm about to go out too."
Looking at Nana who turned around to look for the two grandmas in an unknown corner, Chen An couldn't help but raise two fingers. It was very nice. Sure enough, this trick was always effective for women, especially those with Nana's personality.
