Chapter 422: Return the Money

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Nan Hao was still in school and admitted that he didn’t have the ability to go out and earn money like Nan Xuan.

However, he also wanted to help pay off the surgery fees.

“Part-time job?” However, Nan Xuan noticed another point in his words and even frowned.

Nan Hao replied unwillingly, “Yes, at a western restaurant.”

He was quite good-looking and liked by girls. It was also thanks to the tips that he could earn so much, but he was definitely serious. Nan Hao guaranteed that.

He didn’t expect to be able to keep it from his Big Brother forever, but the

matter of the surgery fee still ruined Nan Hao’s plan.

After all, a portion of this money was for the gift that Nan Hao wanted to buy for Murong Qiao. However, he had no choice but to use it to pay a part of the repayment, and it was only a small portion.

“…I understand.” Nan Xuan exhaled, his brows furrowed in melancholy.

He accepted the bank card and didn’t even ask Nan Hao anything. He turned around and returned to his room.

Knowing that his brother had gone to work part-time behind his back, even if Nan Xuan subconsciously wanted to teach Nan Hao a lesson, he couldn’t find a reason.

Nan Xuan knew that Nan Jin had good intentions for this family. However, when he found out that his little brother was working part-time, he felt even more helpless.

After returning to his room, he sat on the bed in silence for a long time, as if he was in deep thought. His eyebrows were lowered, and the light cast a dark shadow on them. After a long time, he called Murong Qiao.

“h.e.l.lo?” Murong Qiao’s cold voice sounded.

Nan Xuan calmed down. “Can we meet sometime? I want to talk.”

He didn’t mention the surgery fees because he was afraid that Murong Qiao would avoid him and end the call without even asking for money. Thus, his tone was serious.

“…Sure,” Murong Qiao replied after hesitating for a moment.

She turned on her cell phone and put it on speaker. As Nan Xuan spoke, she focused on listening to the birds flying past the window. She could tell that Nan Xuan’s tone sounded like he had something serious to talk about, so Murong

Qiao agreed.

Hence, the two of them agreed on a time to meet at a restaurant near Hui University.

Due to the rare kindness of the teacher, cla.s.s ended early. Murong Qiao planned to arrive earlier and prepare her mood, but when she pushed open the door of the restaurant and walked in, she realized that Nan Xuan had already appeared at the reserved spot.

-Why are you here so early?” Murong Qiao sat opposite him calmly.

Nan Xuan looked at Murong Qiao and slowly pushed a bank card containing the surgery fees to his Little Sister.

He pursed his lips and said apologetically, “I’m here to return the surgery fees to you. I’m sorry to have troubled you to sign the surgery consent form.” Murong Qiao was stunned when she saw the card. She didn’t expect Nan Xuan to call her out for this.

She didn’t take it immediately. She only looked up and understood the stubbornness in Nan Xuan’s eyes. After a moment of silence, she reached out and took the card in his hand before nodding.

“Alright, I’ll take it then,” she agreed calmly. She put the card in her pocket without even looking at it.

With her relations.h.i.+p with Nan Xuan, there was no need to be pretentious. It was right to pay back the debt in advance.

Nan Xuan’s tense face suddenly softened, and he revealed a slightly relaxed smile. Clearly, the successful return of the money made him feel much better.

Nan Xuan’s tone was also gentle. “I still have to… thankyou. Nan Jin’s surgery was pretty smooth. He’s already been discharged a few days ago.” Saying thank you would probably seem a little distant, but Nan Xuan had to say it.

Fortunately, it was not a lyrical scene. After Nan Xuan mentioned it, the topic s.h.i.+fted to Nan Jin’s condition and he said a few more words to Murong Qiao.

He secretly felt that he was a little selfish. His gaze landed on Murong Qiao’s expression as she listened to him seriously, and he felt a little sweet in his heart.

His usually cold and tense face also relaxed along with the softness in his heart. From an angle that Murong Qiao couldn’t see, Nan Xuan’s eyes even had a hint of nostalgia and intimacy.

It had been a long time since they sat together and talked like this.

It was rare for him to find an opportunity to meet his Little Sister. Nan Xuan subconsciously wanted to let this moment last longer, but he was afraid that Murong Qiao would be frustrated, so he could only talk about Nan Jin’s illness. He yearned for every second he spent with his Little Sister and wished that this second was as long as a century.

At least from the payment of the surgery fees and Nan Hao’s words, Nan Xuan was still certain that Murong Qiao was a little concerned about Nan Jin.

-It’s fine as long as there’s nothing serious.” Murong Qiao’s face was expressionless, as if she didn’t care.

She hooked her finger around the spoon and slowly stirred the coffee. Looking at the originally exquisite flowers on it being stirred into a ball by her, her heart did not waver at Nan Xuan’s words.

Even now, in Murong Qiao’s eyes, Nan Xuan, Nan Jin, and the others were just strangers with the same blood as her.

She couldn’t hate them, but it was impossible for her to accept them again or reconcile with them.

“In that case, there shouldn’t be anything else, right?” Murong Qiao asked. She looked at Nan Xuan. “You’ve returned the money I paid. I still have something on later. Can I leave now?

Whether it was Murong Qiao’s cold att.i.tude or the clear line she drew between them, it made Nan Xuan stop what he wanted to say.

-Of course.” Nan Xuan nodded and stood up, planning to send her out. “You can make the decision on your own time.”

He didn’t say that he had specially taken a day off from the company to see Murong Qiao today.

However, his gaze lingered on Murong Qiao for a few seconds with hidden reluctance.

“Alright.” Murong Qiao was a person of few words.

She declined Nan Xuan’s offer to send her off and took a taxi after leaving the restaurant.

From the beginning to the end, she didn’t look back. She even waved her hand and hailed a taxi to sit in. She didn’t hesitate at all.

Nan Xuan stood at the door and watched his Little Sister enter the car and leave before retracting his gaze.

He still had to go back.

This was the first time Nan Xuan had returned home in the afternoon. Nan Hao was still at school. As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Nan Jin sitting on the sofa.

Nan Jin lowered his head, his expression unclear. Even when he heard the sound of the door opening and knew that someone had returned, he didn’t speak.

Nan Xuan took off his coat and sat beside Nan Jin. Looking at the disappointment lingering around him, he spoke.

“…I went to see Qiaoqiao today.” He deliberately emphasized.

As expected, as soon as Murong Qiao’s name was mentioned, Nan Jin immediately looked up at Nan Xuan.

Nan Xuan’s next words confused Nan Jin. “Do you remember the operation previously? It was Murong Qiao who paid for it.”

Nan Jin had locked himself in his room when he returned yesterday, so he naturally didn’t know what Nan Hao and Nan Xuan had said.

After hearing Nan Xuan’s explanation, Nan Jin was even more speechless.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking.” Nan Xuan took a deep breath. “But even if it’s for the sake of our Little Sister, don’t always look half-dead.

Actually, I’m a little envious.”

Nan Xuan smiled bitterly. “When she found out that you were sick, Qiaoqiao went to see you. I want to fall sick too.”

These words were a little sour, but such thoughts did linger in Nan Xuan’s heart for a moment.

“Don’t joke around.” Nan Jin was helpless.

Of course, he was happy to be taken care of by his Little Sister, but Nan Jin had experienced the torment of illness and naturally didn’t want to see the same torture on Nan Xuan.

Nan Xuan naturally knew this too. “…For Qiaoqiao or anything else, or Nan Hao who is still in school, you have to take on the responsibility of being a Big Brother.”

After saying this, Nan Xuan got up and returned to his room without waiting for Nan Jin’s answer..
