Chapter 3240 Shen Tianyu 640

Qin Heng reached out and ruffled Yan Yan's hat. "It's cold. Play for a while and then go back to your room."

Yan Yan remained silent, her eyelashes lowered, not wanting to pay him any attention.

Also strange.

The more she acted like she didn't want to talk to him, the more he wanted to tease her.

It has been like this from the very beginning.

After all these years, his enthusiasm hasn't waned.

He took the lanterns out of the basket and hung them up with them.

Su Hua pointed to the lanterns on one of the trees and said to Qin Heng, "Those were made by Yan Yan. The little girl is quite skillful."

Her tone was indulgent, with a hint of pride.

Qin Heng looked in the direction she was pointing.

A plump lotus lantern hangs from a tall hibiscus tree, its pale pink petals and yellow stamens creating a beautiful sight when the light shines from the inside out.

It's pretty, but the craftsmanship isn't particularly exquisite; it's far inferior to the lanterns next to it.

The lifelike dragons, phoenixes, and deer hanging on the nearby tree must have been made by Su Hua.

But Qin Heng just thought the lotus lanterns were beautiful.

He gave Yan Yan a thumbs up and praised her, "Little Yan Yan is amazing. She's skillful, studies well, can knit sweaters, can disguise herself, can restore ancient paintings, and can even make lanterns."

Yan Yan was so embarrassed that her teeth ached.

She thought, not to mention how handsome he is, even his mouth is attractive to women.

Qin Heng took off his scarf, draped it around her neck, tied it for her, and said, "It's cold. Remember to wear a scarf next time you go out."

Yan Yan glared at him with dark, piercing eyes.

She was wearing a turtleneck sweater, a down jacket, gloves, and a hat. How cold could she be?

She wanted to take off the scarf and give it back to him.

Qin Heng pressed her hand down. "This scarf is itchy. I've wanted to throw it away for a while. Wear it for a bit, then throw it away for me."

With Su Hua and Gu Beixian present, Yan Yan didn't want to embarrass him too much.

She picked up a lantern and walked towards the trees in the distance.

She didn't understand. She had made it so obvious, so why did he still come to her under the guise of spoiling her?

The scarf also carried a light, luxurious perfume scent.

It smells good.

Yan Yan tiptoed to hang the lanterns on the tree, a slight pang of sadness inexplicably rising in her heart.

What kind of woman did she imagine she was?

After hanging the lanterns, she turned around and heard Qin Heng answer a phone call.

Qin Heng walked in the opposite direction, saying as he went, "Sister Yan, I just got home and haven't had a chance to text you yet. Did you get home safely?"

Yan Yan perked up her ears.

Hearing Qin Heng say again, "Give my regards to Uncle Lu,"

Although Yan Yan was quiet, she was very clever.

Sister Yan's surname is Lu.

Lu Yan.

She had met her at Gu Jinzhou, Shen Tianyu's, and a few others' weddings. She was a very smart and capable older sister who was studying abroad and was said to be a top student.

Yan Yan thought it was good; she was the one who deserved him, they were a good match, and there were no old grudges between them.

Yan Yan walked up to Su Hua and whispered to her, "Grandma, I'm going inside to do my homework."

Su Hua patted her head. "Go ahead."

Yan Yan turned and left.

She walked faster and faster, eventually jogging, afraid that Qin Heng would catch up with her after finishing his call.

She hated him, yet couldn't help liking him; she resented his kindness towards her, yet couldn't shake him off. That feeling was so tangled and painful.

Back in the living room, she took off the scarf around her neck.

The scarf is very soft to the touch, feels like 100% cashmere, and doesn't itch at all.

After taking off her coat and hanging it up, she picked up her scarf, walked over to the maid, and asked her to return the scarf to Qin Heng.

The maid smiled and said, "There's no need to go and return it. Young Master Heng will definitely come tomorrow, and you can return it to him then."

The maid smiled gossipy.

She added, "We all secretly guess that Heng Shao definitely likes you. Whenever he has free time, he comes to our house and immediately goes upstairs to find you. What else could this be but liking someone?"

Yan Yan's big eyes darkened.

She was younger then, so the servants couldn't say it outright.

After the New Year, she turned seventeen, and the servants no longer had any scruples.

Yan Yan said softly, "Don't say things like that. He has a girlfriend."

"That Miss Chi from a few days ago? That girl is too wild and doesn't fit in with Young Master Heng. Don't worry, they're all just changing soldiers, you're the permanent camp. You grew up together, and over the years, we know how Young Master Heng has treated you, even if others don't."

Yan Yan hurriedly said, "No, don't talk nonsense."

She carried the scarf upstairs.

She put the scarf on the sofa, walked to the study desk, sat down, picked up her pen, and began working on the test paper.

As I was doing it, I always felt like someone was behind me.

She felt a chill run down her spine, and when she turned around abruptly, there was no one behind her.

My gaze fell on the scarf on the sofa. It was a long, stylish gray scarf embroidered with the logo of a luxury brand.

He has always been a very fashionable person, always wearing either haute couture or the latest luxury brand designs.

Whenever a new style is released, sales assistants from luxury brand stores will send him clothes, jewelry, and bags to choose from.

The two most fashionable people in this resort are Qin Heng and Gu Chuchu.

Even if such a fashionable young nobleman liked her, it was nothing more than a haughty and aloof intimacy.

She laughed self-deprecatingly; she would not become the next Qin Xiaozhao.

She was aware of her own identity.

The phone rang.

Yan Yan picked up her phone.

It was Qin Heng calling. "Why didn't you tell me you were going back to your room?"

Yan Yan said, "Go home. Sister Lu Yan is very outstanding and is a good match for you."

Qin Heng curled his lips into a smile. "You were eavesdropping on my phone call?"

"Your voice wasn't quiet, I wasn't eavesdropping."

"Lu Yan and I are quite compatible." Qin Heng regretted saying that as soon as he finished speaking.

He didn't understand why he was acting out of spite.

Yan Yan said calmly, "Don't come to see me anymore. We're not that far apart in age, and it's easy for people to gossip about it. Now that you have a girlfriend, you should avoid suspicion. I have Grandma Su Hua, Grandpa Bei Xian, Brother Zhou Zhou, and Uncle Lin Tuo who dote on me. I'm very content."

Qin Heng was inexplicably a little angry. "Just because I have a girlfriend, does that mean I have to cut ties with you? Does that mean I have to cut ties with every young single woman in the resort? Does having a girlfriend mean I have to become completely estranged from my family? What kind of logic is that?"

“I am different from them. I am not related to you by blood.”

After a pause, Qin Heng said, "Lu Yan and I aren't really dating. We're just being forced to go on blind dates all the time to appease our parents. It's so annoying."

Yan Yan listened quietly and then said, "You can really talk."

Qin Heng laughed and scolded, "How come you're more like a mother than my own mother? If you keep this up, I'm going to get annoyed with you."

Yan Yan thought, "That's good."

Annoying, isn't it?

If you annoy her, you won't bring her things, you won't visit her, you won't force her to go out, and it's best not to talk to her at all.

Yan Yan said, "I should do my homework now."

Qin Heng said reproachfully, "Every time I look for you or call you, you're always doing your homework. You're so busy, but you still manage to knit sweaters, make lanterns, and prepare gifts for everyone."

He is upright and honest in his actions and doesn't like to avoid people.

Su Hua and Gu Beixian overheard this.

The two looked at each other.

Qin Heng's resentful tone was nothing like that of a brother speaking to his sister.

It's more like a boyfriend who's been wronged.
