Chapter 175: Don't Make Enemies on the Path of Freeloading. _2
The old lady smiled.
"Nuannuan, do you want to be in a relationship with him?"
As someone who had been through it all, the old lady was direct in asking.
The words "be in a relationship" burned like a branding iron, leaving An Nuannuan momentarily unsure whether to nod or shake her head.
"I don't know."
"You don't know? Do you have any concerns?"
The old lady asked patiently.
An Nuannuan shook her head, her pale little hands clasped together, "I'm afraid that he might not like me…"
The old lady was momentarily stunned, then couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Silly girl, if he didn't like you, why would he take such good care of you, why would he come over especially to cook for you, and even give you half of his milk tea shop?"
"He said it was to thank me."
"If it was to thank you, wouldn't it be better to just give you money? Why go to all the trouble of doing so much?"
The old lady chuckled, "And besides, didn't you start out wanting to thank him too?"
With those words, An Nuannuan's face turned even redder.
Indeed, she had intended to thank him, but in the end, it seemed like she was the first who couldn't restrain herself from corrupting their friendship.
"Grandma, you guys… don't object?"
An Nuannuan suddenly realized, after all her grandmother had said, there seemed to be no intention to stop her.
"You've grown up as well, and we can understand you having someone you like, but what we worry about most is that you at this age might not be able to control yourselves."
The old lady stroked her granddaughter's head, speaking earnestly, "And dating is a gradual process. We don't oppose you seeing him, but there are certain things you just mustn't do too lightly, you know?"
"Like what?"
An Nuannuan blinked her large eyes.
The grandmother pondered; her mindset was already out of sync with the young people nowadays. In the past, one couldn't even touch hands before getting formal approval.
But now, premarital cohabitation is commonplace.
"For instance,"
"It's like you two shouldn't spend the night together in the same bed."
The grandmother put it more tactfully.
An Nuannuan thought of Xu Musen's little room in the milk tea shop.
The bed in Xu Musen's room was chosen by her, after all; taking a nap on it during the afternoon was so comfortable.
Not staying overnight was one thing, but a nap should be fine, right?
"Also, there are some parts of a girl's body that shouldn't be seen or touched by others."
The old lady continued to give Nuannuan her preventive advice.
An Nuannuan nodded thoughtfully; since she was little, her mother told her there were parts of a girl's body that absolutely could not be touched by others.
Especially not by boys.
She looked down at her chest...
"Grandma, why would... someone want to touch here?"
She didn't quite understand; what was so good about them? They were just aching her shoulders every day.
The old lady looked at her granddaughter's figure and couldn't help but smile, "That's because these parts are treasures given to girls by Heaven, saved for the person you like the most; that way, the person who likes you the most will also cherish you more."
"I see."
An Nuannuan had an epiphany and nodded; saved for the person she liked the most, huh...
She kind of understood; it was like how she used to love cotton candy the most, and if she could have a taste, she would be happy for a long time.
If he liked it then...
An Nuannuan fidgeted slightly.
The old lady would probably never know that her well-intentioned "Big Cabbage Avoiding Scumbags Guide" was rapidly transforming into a "Big Cabbage Feeding Pigs Guide" in An Nuannuan's mind.
...
The old lady left An Nuannuan's room, and at the door, An Shanhai had been waiting.
"Mom, what did you and Nuannuan talk about?"
"I've said all that needs to be said; the rest is up to the young people's fate. Nuannuan may lack some social tact, but she's clever, so don't worry."
The old lady glanced back at Nuannuan's room door.
"Since her mother passed away, she's now the most willing to open up to him; as long as nothing goes wrong, we should just let nature take its course."
Hearing this, An Shanhai could only sigh silently.
The image of a tender figure surfaced in his mind; if she were still here, Nuannuan would probably be more willing to talk to her...
An Shanhai sighed and had no choice but to turn around and leave first.
...
Weekend.
Xu Musen wasn't idling either.
He handed things over at the shop, as these past few days Zhao Lianmai was quite busy, running around for materials to apply for a scholarship for impoverished students.
For her, this was a must-win.
And of course, with Bai Xin around, it shouldn't be much of a problem.
Xu Musen made a call to Zhu Yulan.
"Hello, what's up?"
Zhu Yulan sounded unenthusiastic from the start.
Xu Musen spoke with a smile, "Didn't we agree the other day? I'd invite you out for a meal when I had some spare time."
"You're inviting me for a meal?"
"Mind joining me?"
"Tch, I'll make it clear then, I won't bring a penny, just my mouth!"
Zhu Yulan certainly wouldn't pass up a chance to take advantage of him.
"Of course, all you need is your mouth."
"Then wait for me."
Zhu Yulan hung up the phone directly.
"Zhu, are you heading out?"
Yang Xiaotao just walked into the office.
"Yeah, going out for a meal."
"With that Xu Musen?" Yang Xiaotao seemed to have read her mind.
Zhu Yulan glared, "Who says that going out to eat has to be with him?" Explore more stories at empire
"Because, besides him, who dares to invite you out for a meal…" Yang Xiaotao mumbled.
Zhu Yulan was indeed very pretty and quite tall... It wasn't that she was picky; it was all relative.
And she was a rich woman who drove a Ferrari.
At the start of the semester, many had pursued her, but they were soon discouraged by Zhu Yulan's temperament.
