SWNOVELS Chapter 35
Chapter 35
Jiang Haobo’s face turned pale, and his head was spinning.
Could a car really go that fast?
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was a plane flying past!
Damn it… he was done for…
After crossing the finish line, the neon race car slowed down as Shen Junqing stepped on the brakes.
Nan Yan calmly returned to the passenger seat, her cold face showing no emotional changes.
Shen Junqing raised an eyebrow and said with interest, “Yanyan, let’s have a match when we have the time?”
“We’ll see.” Nan Yan combed the ends of her hair with her hand nonchalantly, looking disinterested.
Shen Junqing smiled, his peach blossom eyes shining. “Okay, then remember to contact your brother when you’re free.”
Rarely encountering someone with true skills, Shen Junqing was itching for a challenge.
“Let’s get off the car and collect our winnings from Jiang Haobo,” he said.
Shen Junqing unfastened his seatbelt and playfully ruffled Nan Yan’s hair before getting off the car.
Nan Yan was speechless.
Next time, she would definitely wear a hat when going out!
The cheers from the crowd grew even louder when they saw Shen Junqing and Nan Yan approach. Liang Qian, with a smile on her face, came over. “Third Young Master, congratulations!”
Shen Junqing smiled devilishly. “You’re too kind. I’ll treat everyone later. Let’s have a big feast to celebrate my acquisition of the land in the west of the city.”
“Wow, Third Young Master is mighty!”
The group of people erupted in excitement.
Jiang Haobo’s face turned pale, and his legs trembled.
He walked up to Shen Junqing, his legs giving way as he knelt before him.
“Third Young Master, I can’t decide on the land in the west of the city. My father will kill me. I beg you, spare me this time. I’m willing to compensate you in another way. Please…”
Shen Junqing looked down at him from above, lazily sneering. “Jiang Haobo, we’re all adults, and we’re all part of the same circle. It wouldn’t be good if this were to spread.”
Jiang Haobo felt like his face was being trampled on by everyone. He resented it, but he couldn’t show it on the surface. With a mournful face, he pleaded, “I’ll give you three billion. The land is worth three billion. I’ll use money to replace it!”
“I have plenty of money, young master. I have my eyes set on that piece of land. If you don’t give it to me, I’ll go to Mr. Jiang and ask for it myself.”
Shen Junqing’s low, magnetic voice was enchanting but coldly ruthless.
Although the people around them looked down on Jiang Haobo for his betrayal, they also felt that Shen Junqing was too heartless.
Three billion in compensation for the land was already quite high.
There was no need to push so hard.
One of Jiang Haobo’s friends couldn’t help but plead on his behalf to Shen Junqing, “Third Young Master Shen, we’re all part of the same circle, and we hang out together. Can’t we just let it go?”
“Since Young Master Wu is so understanding, generous, and magnanimous, how about you take care of the compensation?” Shen Junqing suggested with a smile.
The young master Wu who spoke earlier had a change in his expression and quickly distanced himself. “No, no, no, I can’t come up with the compensation. I was just saying.”
Shen Junqing reached out and patted his face, a smile that was more sinister than friendly appearing on his face. “Jiang Haobo, if you can’t afford to gamble, then don’t gamble. After all, nobody forced you. Since you gambled, don’t act like a crybaby when you lose. I won’t fall for that.”
Jiang Haobo couldn’t bear this humiliation. He angrily brushed off Shen Junqing’s hand and left in annoyance.
“Let’s go, don’t let someone’s presence ruin everyone’s mood. Let’s go eat,” Shen Junqing said, turning back and smiling at Nan Yan. “Yanyan, what do you feel like eating?”
Nan Yan, uninterested, replied, “I don’t feel like eating anything. I want to go back.”
“Don’t. If you don’t like to eat with them, then I’ll book a private room for them and bring you to eat something else alone.”
“I’m not hungry.”
“But, your brother is hungry~” Shen Junqing naturally put his arm around her shoulder, a charming man acting spoiled. “Just accompany your brother, alright?”
Nan Yan frowned, “Let go.”
She couldn’t bear it anymore. A grown man acting more spoiled than her!
Shen Junqing chuckled seductively, “If you agree, I’ll let go.”
Nan Yan’s expression remained unchanged, “If you don’t let go, I’ll make a move.”
Shen Junqing’s attempt at being spoiled failed, and he shrugged without much grace. Then he reached out and poked her cheek, “Really, your personality is not cute at all. Such a waste of your adorable little face.”
Nan Yan was speechless.
She wanted to chop off his hands!
In the end, Nan Yan still accompanied him for dinner.
After finishing their meal, he took her back to the Lantis Hotel. It was already ten o’clock in the evening.
Before she got out of the car, Shen Junqing held onto Nan Yan’s seatbelt, lazily leaning his head and asking, “Yanyan, it’s all thanks to you that you helped me win that piece of land today. What do you want?”
Nan Yan leisurely replied, “Anything?”
“Yes.”
“Three billion, give me half.”
Shen Junqing didn’t hesitate, “Alright, I’ll transfer it to you tomorrow.”
“Thanks.” Nan Yan removed his hand from the seatbelt buckle. “Goodbye.”
Nan Yan got out of the car and entered the hotel without looking back.
Shen Junqing watched her go, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.contemporary romance
As the smoke wafted, his expression seemed somewhat unreal and ethereal…

With the room key in hand, Nan Yan opened the door and entered.
She hung her coat on the hanger while walking, typing on her phone, her head lowered.
She went straight into the bedroom without even noticing the presence of the man sitting on the sofa.
Qin Lu closed the file in his hand and placed it aside, calmly waiting for her to come out again.
A few seconds later, Nan Yan suddenly walked out with big steps, and her gaze met Qin Lu’s pair of eyes that shimmered with a dark light.
“Brother, why are you in my room?”
Nan Yan felt somewhat exasperated.
How absent-minded was she just now to completely ignore this big shot?
Qin Lu casually leaned against the back of the sofa, appearing relaxed, and casually replied, “Of course I was waiting for you to come back.”
“For a young girl like you to go out and play, not coming back home in the middle of the night, isn’t that inappropriate?”
“It’s only ten o’clock now…” Nan Yan couldn’t help but retort. “Young people don’t go to bed so early.”
After all, she used to be a night owl.
Qin Lu’s expression turned serious, “Irregular sleep schedules are bad for your health. Little girl, from now on, the latest you can sleep is nine-thirty.”
“Oh…”
Anyway, she slept whenever she wanted, and he wouldn’t know.
He couldn’t possibly stare at her all night, right?
“Did you have fun today?”
“It was okay.”
Whether she had fun or not didn’t matter. The important thing was that she earned 150 million tonight.
Just enough to solve her urgent problem.
Qin Lu looked at her half-hearted expression, knowing that she was being evasive again.
Little liar.
She had become a habitual offender.
He stood up unhurriedly, picking up the files placed aside and instructing, “Rest early. You still have classes tomorrow.”
“Oh…”
Now she had one more person to watch over her…
Seeing Qin Lu about to leave, she hurriedly walked him to the door.
“Young girl.”
“Yes?”
Nan Yan instinctively looked up at him.
And then, her uncontrollable eyes looked at the two unbuttoned buttons on his collar…
