Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 208: The Scheming Man Who Keeps Setting Traps
The conversation quickly shifted to engagement rings!
Qin Xin took a deep breath: "Mr. Nalan, we need to talk."
Nalan Ye Jue nodded: "Okay."
So readily agreed this time?
Qin Xin felt a bit puzzled.
Nalan Ye Jue spoke again calmly: "Miss Qin, I know you want to discuss the betrothal. I have always believed that ladies should go first in everything."
Surprisingly, Qin Xin’s eyebrows relaxed.
Hmm, yes, she agreed with that.
Who knew, the next moment...
Nalan Ye Jue said gracefully: "Therefore, you have the right to first learn about my family background."
Qin Xin: "...!"
Isn’t it supposed to be ladies first, but it turns out to be listening to him talk first???
This man is quite sly.
Nalan Ye Jue: "Our direct line of the Nalan Family is not populous, only me and my younger sister." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Before Qin Xin could protest, she was captivated by his narrative.
Mr. Nalan has a sister?
Why has this never been mentioned in public records?
"My parents are often away, pursuing their own careers, and will not interfere with our lives, nor insist on living with us, or tending to them. Therefore, after marriage, you will be the sole female head of the Nalan family, and you can be in charge of all affairs at home."
Qin Xin held her breath, incredulous.
The complex relationships of in-laws in wealthy families, usually so complicated, don’t seem to exist in the Nalan family?
The man smiled gently: "I don’t have any special hobbies, apart from work. But after marriage, I will cut down on overtime and spend more time with the family."
Qin Xin: "..."
These conditions are almost tempting!
Wait, she’s not here to discuss marriage!
The man continued sincerely: "I’m not picky about food. My only habit is to drink mint water. But you don’t have to bother preparing it. I’m used to getting up early, so I’ll handle breakfast. If you’re home for dinner, I’d be happy to enjoy the pleasures of the kitchen with you."
Qin Xin: "...!"
Hearing this, she really felt touched.
Even in the Qin family, breakfast is made by servants, and Mrs. Qin hasn’t cooked for years. Yet, this young master is willing to prepare breakfast and even dinner???
Is he sure he can cook?
Put aside the fact that she doesn’t want to marry, just the man’s willingness to personally take care of his wife outshines 99.99% of suitors in the matchmaking market.
But... she’s really not thinking about marriage.
She pursed her lips, wanting to explain this.
The man’s next words left her lips slightly parted, speechless—
"Oh, I forgot to mention earlier, I don’t like socializing or overly lively entertainment. My hobby is cloud and star observation."
Cloud and star observation.
Qin Xin’s eyes glistened with an indescribable gleam, her nose suddenly a bit sour.
Is it really such a coincidence in the world?
Coincidentally, she likes it too.
It’s like two lonely planets unexpectedly converging in the vast universe.
Qin Xin lowered her gaze, tightening her hoodie a bit.
"Mr. Nalan, I think..."
She wanted to say, you’re really a very good person, but... she’s not ready to marry a man yet.
The movie’s opening music started playing in her ear.
The man’s elegant and steady voice also sounded at the same time: "Shall we continue our conversation over dinner after we finish watching the movie?"
Qin Xin: "..."
Why is it that when it’s her turn to speak, the movie starts?
She has to wait until dinner to express her thoughts?
Why does it feel like she’s walked into a trap again!
Inside the cinema, intense scenes were unfolding.
A figure flashed outside the theater...
