Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Short on Cash? (Part 2)

Instinctively looking up, Tang Yanqi hurriedly stepped back two paces.

Sheng Jianan?

How could he be here?

Even Sheng Jianan himself didn’t know the answer to this question.

Mu Yunfan’s mentor came to K University as a visiting professor and is set to leave for the United States tomorrow, so Mu Yunfan rushed over to meet him. In such circumstances, Sheng Jianan naturally shouldn’t be present. Logically, with his personality, he should have been calmly waiting in the car, but when his gaze fell on Tang Yanqi’s ridiculously low-key phone, Sheng Jianan inexplicably decided to step out of the car.

He knows the location of Tang Yanqi’s dorm because he was previously forced to learn it by his grandfather, plus his familiarity with K University allowed Sheng Jianan to find it easily, but regarding the specific dorm number of Tang Yanqi, Sheng Jianan was clueless. Even if he knew, he couldn’t possibly go up.

The entire journey here, he’d already been spotted by several people taking photos. If not for the naturally sparse crowd on campus today coupled with poor weather and dark skies, Sheng Jianan would definitely have caused a sensation.

By the time Sheng Jianan reached near Tang Yanqi’s dorm, he realized what he was doing, couldn’t help but frown; Tang Yanqi’s phone was with him, making it impossible to contact her, he really didn’t know what he was doing here, after all, what does Tang Yanqi amount to? Why would he specifically come to deliver a phone to her?

Just as Sheng Jianan thought he was being foolish and was about to leave, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure on the sidewalk next to the small grove of trees.

Sheng Jianan deemed himself not familiar with Tang Yanqi at all; although they were married, truthfully speaking, since getting married, he hadn’t really spent much time with his nominal wife. To him, Tang Yanqi was nothing more than a slightly more related stranger than a total stranger.

But curiously, Sheng Jianan discovered that he could always sense her presence immediately, at the Western restaurant, he had recognized her at first glance even though Tang Yanqi was dressed in her work uniform, which was quite different from usual.

And previously in Mu Yunfan’s car, despite the distance and the car window in between, he had recognized her, as he did now.

Sheng Jianan looked down at the girl who wasn’t as tall as him, her hair was a bit messy, her face clean without even lip balm, holding a transparent plastic bag, Sheng Jianan clearly saw four words: Braised Beef.

Involuntarily frowning, noodles again? Young Madam Sheng eating noodles all the time, wouldn’t that be a joke if it got out?

"You..."

Just as Sheng Jianan was about to say something, Tang Yanqi suddenly grabbed him and ran towards the grove of trees. Once they were concealed by layers of tree shadows, Tang Yanqi cautiously glanced outside and breathed a sigh of relief.

Sheng Jianan frowned because of her actions, his tone unpleasant: "What are you doing?"

Tang Yanqi cautiously looked outside and spoke softly: "People were coming from that direction."

"So?"

"It’s not good to be seen."

Sheng Jianan didn’t know why, but he felt irritated. Was he so undesirable?

Was she so eager to hide the moment someone showed up?

Even though her actions were correct, given Sheng Jianan’s influence and reputation at K University, if he were indeed seen with a college student, it would certainly become breaking news across the entire school.

Tang Yanqi’s judgment and actions were something Sheng Jianan intellectually agreed with, yet emotionally found displeasing.
