Chapter 209: Chapter 209

Tang Yanqi walked back a short distance, the indifference in her eyes and the deep loneliness had not fully withdrawn. Suddenly, a shadow appeared above her head. Looking up, Tang Yanqi was startled and took a step back.

Sheng Jianan? Why is he here?

Tang Yanqi hastily concealed all the emotions from her eyes, returning to her usual calm as she looked at Sheng Jianan. But it was too late. Sheng Jianan had clearly seen all her indifference, as well as the small sense of hurt that mingled behind it.

Sheng Jianan was dressed simply in a shirt and trousers, with his suit jacket casually draped over his left arm. The whole person carried a few hints of laziness amid his boldness, which inexplicably made him appear charmingly handsome.

Tang Yanqi composed herself, looking at him calmly: "Mr. Sheng."

Last night, she seemed to have made him angry. Tang Yanqi didn’t know what Sheng Jianan was here for now. But surely it wasn’t because she made him angry and he’s here to beat her up?

Even though Sheng Jianan was childish, he wouldn’t be that petty, right?

"The scene of you and your father meeting is quite special, isn’t it?" Fresh chapters posted on novelꞁire.net

Sheng Jianan spoke, and Tang Yanqi was taken aback. Had he seen her just now when she got out of Tang Ruhai’s car?

Indeed, Tang Yanqi had figured out from Tang Ruhai’s words just now that the reason he came to find her today was because he hit a wall at Shengshi Group with Sheng Jianan.

So after Tang Ruhai left Shengshi Group, he came to K University. Could Sheng Jianan have done the same?

"Daddy was passing by and came to see me."

Tang Yanqi was certain that Sheng Jianan couldn’t have heard her conversation with Tang Ruhai, so she simply laughed it off.

But a strange look flashed in Sheng Jianan’s eyes—the way she got out of the car and how she reacted to the car leaving behind her, including the small sense of hurt she hadn’t managed to hide.

Would this be caused by a mere "passing by" visit?

Furthermore, whether it’s from Shengshi Group to the Tang Family or to the Tang clan, would either route require passing by K University? This path is certainly convenient.

Tang Ruhai left Shengshi, and then suddenly appeared at K University. Sheng Jianan’s intricately complicated mind had already processed his reasoning, coupled with Tang Yanqi’s demeanor, it was obvious their conversation wasn’t very pleasant.

This woman in front of him was likely hurt by familial ties yet behaved so nonchalantly in front of him.

Sheng Jianan felt a bit of heartache. In front of him, she needn’t be this way. If she wanted parental love, if she wanted the attention of the Tang Family, even if she wanted the entire Tang clan, he could give it to her.

Even if it were pretend, Sheng Jianan could make those people pretend convincingly.

But this woman... Sheng Jianan felt a bit heartbroken, mixed with some annoyance. He reached to scratch his head, about to say something when Tang Yanqi spoke first: "Is Mr. Sheng looking for me? Is there something you need?"

Her business-like tone and her repeated use of "Mr. Sheng" made Sheng Jianan increasingly irritated. His handsome brows furrowed, and his usual sarcastic tone jumped out: "Tang, your topic, I don’t think you’ve given it to me, have you?"

Tang Yanqi was stunned. Indeed, how could she forget? Apart from being her nominal husband, Sheng Jianan was also her thesis advisor.

Although Tang Yanqi felt quite helpless about this, there was no choice. This was already known throughout K University.

"I’ve already finished the topic, Sheng..."

"Then what are you waiting for, show it to me!"
