Chapter 900 - 890: You’re About to Be the Boss

Chapter 900: Chapter 890: You’re About to Be the Boss

"Come, come, have some fruit, sip some water, and take your time telling us!"

Shen Yi excitedly laid out a platter of fruit, sunflower seeds, and snacks, holding a cold beverage in hand. She sat eagerly on the sofa, watching the two ladies across from her, the landlady and Tang Nan.

Her eyes brimmed with gossip, and to be honest, even Su Qing was a little curious. Although he knew Tang Nan indeed had been in a relationship that ended without result, his curiosity was piqued.

"Wow~~ You even prepared so thoroughly, and here I am heartbroken, yet you’re laughing at me!"

At this, Tang Nan couldn’t help but cry harder.

"Sister Wen, what’s going on with you all..."

"Well, today our little Yun had a day off, so we went to the amusement park to play. You guys know little Tang, she’s all talk but timid. You two don’t want to deal with this, so she arranged to meet someone at the amusement park.

First, with me there, I could advise her a bit. Second, with the crowds at the amusement park, there’s less risk of the guy trying anything funny."

"And then, what happened, come on, tell us quickly, did the guy not show up and stand her up?" Shen Yi cracked sunflower seeds, sat cross-legged on the sofa, leaning slightly forward. It was clear she already had a picture in mind.

"Don’t rush, I’m just getting to it. Little Tang wasn’t stood up; she did meet him!" The landlady spoke up.

Hearing this, Su Qing furrowed his brow: "She met him and still heartbroken? Was the guy’s photos deceptive, not matching reality, and she wasn’t impressed?"

"Stop interrupting, listen to Qing Jie!" Shen Yi smacked him on the back.

Su Qing quieted, and the landlady continued: "Not at all, I saw the kid myself. He’s quite handsome, almost identical to his photos, probably about 180cm tall, tall and slim, and not worse than you, little Su!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing and Shen Yi were puzzled. They knew Tang Nan’s situation well, and didn’t care about the guy’s conditions. Tang Nan was aware he was a student, so how could she expect great financial conditions?

But the key was, with his looks not being a problem and Tang Nan not caring about his finances, and the guy being quite charming, how could there still be heartbreak?

As for the guy not fancying Tang Nan, they hadn’t considered that at all. Without a doubt, Tang Nan was quite the looker, body and all.

Could it be that the guy got scared off after learning about Tang Nan’s true identity?

As the two pondered, the landlady spoke up: "The real reason little Tang’s heartbroken is that the guy is a student!"

"A student? Didn’t she already know that?" Shen Yi asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing that, Su Qing’s brow furrowed slightly, sensing things weren’t that simple: "Could it be he’s not a university student?"

Upon hearing this, the landlady’s mouth curved wildly upward. Her face turned red as she shook, holding back laughter, and finally letting it out:

"More than not being a university student, he’s not even a high schooler, just a sixth grader! Yep, he’s a sixth-grade student from little Yun’s school, he chatted with her using a Little Genius phone watch, hahaha!"

Su Qing: (⊙_⊙)

Shen Yi: (⊙_⊙)

"Wow~~ How come my life is so bitter, I don’t want to live anymore!" Tang Nan slapped her thighs, hair disheveled, looking utterly devastated.

"Didn’t you guys video chat before?" Su Qing asked.

Tang Nan looked up at him and said: "He said it’s best to maintain mystery, and I believed him. But who knew he’d be an elementary school student, I..."

"You have no idea, yesterday when I looked at their chat history, I already felt something was off. Now I realize this kid’s routine matched my daughter’s. Sleep by 10 PM, not talking during the day, only replying after 5 PM, available all day on Saturday and Sunday. She thought he was a conscientious man!" The landlady laughed out loud, no longer having to hold back.

Tang Nan: "Wow~~~ Qingjie, you’re laughing at me too, I don’t want to live anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing and Shen Yi couldn’t help but laugh, bending over. Only now did he understand why the narrator said Tang Nan’s feelings this time were exceptionally pure; how could they not be? The guy’s a primary schooler, after all, just going for a feeling.

"And then, what happened, how was it resolved?" Shen Yi laughed while slapping her thigh, making Su Qing wince in pain.

"How to resolve it? Little Tang was terrified when she found out the truth, backed away repeatedly, saying it wouldn’t work. The kid might really have taken a liking to little Tang, kept complimenting her, wanting to continue the relationship. In the end, little Tang pulled me along to run away, returned all the red packets and the money for takeout he’d given her, and deleted him as a friend.

Little Tang thought this was the start of raising a younger brother, much like you, little Yi. Who would have thought, she almost got caught and reformed. The kid’s underage, not even 14 yet! Wahahaha!" The landlady laughed more freely, seeming to release all the pent-up frustration.

Having heard the whole story, Su Qing and Shen Yi looked at Tang Nan with her despondent face full of resignation, unexpectedly feeling a bit sympathetic.

Shen Yi even moved forward, patted her shoulder comfortingly: "Don’t worry, good-looking like my little brother is rare, but there are plenty of young guys with two legs. Let’s find a time to hang out at Jiang City universities. I refuse to believe there’s not one caught your eye!"

"Indeed, if worst comes to worst, I’ll contact my university classmates, see if any are working locally. Rest assured, the guys I introduce are definitely adults!" Su Qing chimed in.

Tang Nan: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

"Get out, both of you, stop teasing me!

I was wrong, terribly wrong, Jiang City isn’t a good place, I won’t do online dating again!"

At this, the three exchanged amused glances, unable to hold back. Some things, there’s no way comfort could truly help.

Little Wen Yun held Big Yellow and looked at Tang Nan, who appeared as if she’d experienced a monumental blow, and spoke up:

"Auntie, do you like boys from our school too? Which class is he in?"

Hearing this, Tang Nan completely broke down, burying her face in the sofa, covering it with a pillow, too embarrassed to show herself.

At least, from now on, Tang Nan couldn’t lift her head in front of the three of them.

Strangely, today’s kids really develop quickly; who could imagine sixth graders already being 180 tall, with trendy outfits? If it weren’t for that phone watch, who’d believe he was in elementary school?

"Not fully grown up" isn’t an insult to him at all, showing just how crushed Tang Nan felt.

Ultimately, Tang Nan turned her sorrow into energy, later that evening joining in with those two for a big meal, celebrating their engagement.

Forgetting about figure, facial expression management, celebrity burden, none of it mattered to her. Every time she thought about the kid asking his mom for money to buy her takeout, Tang Nan felt an intense social death, wondering what on earth she’d done!

Anyway, after the meal, Tang Nan was drunk, barely able to stand, needing help from the others to get home.

Indeed, pure love doesn’t last long; Tang Nan’s had yet to start and already ended.

The next day, Sunday, Su Qing and Shen Yi didn’t go to the office, planning to rest a bit, and buy things to visit the Su Family.

But before they could leave, an uninvited guest arrived.

"Old A? Whoa, it’s quite the rare visit. How long’s it been since you came over? What brings you here today, no cram school?" Su Qing quickly invited Wang Xing in.

But Wang Xing’s face was full of panic.

"What’s up with you?" Su Qing asked.

"Qingzi, I’m doomed, big trouble, you’re gonna be a grandpa?"

Su Qing: ???

He was momentarily lost for words.

"Miaomiao’s pregnant, what now, won’t my mom kill me?"

Su Qing: →_→

"How would I know, but buddy, just a reminder, you’ve graduated university two years already, not a high schooler. Why worry about your girlfriend being pregnant?"

Wang Xing: "Huh? Right, I’ve graduated, can even get married!"

Su Qing: ...

Just how scared has he gotten, asking such a silly question, feeling Wang Xing was acting like a complete clueless idiot.

"Whether Auntie kills you, I’m unaware, but I know that if this baby’s gone, and Auntie finds out, I bet she’ll definitely kill you. You better think it through. If you’re not planning on taking responsibility, stay away from me. I’ll find some time to buy you a plot, bury you next to San’er, then you guys can keep company!"

Wang Xing: "Yeah, I can get married! Yes, marriage!"
