When Shen Yanqing returned, he did not see Nan Ge at first glance.

She sat at the desk, perfectly hidden.

Shen Yanqing was talking to Assistant Yuan beside him, emphasizing the afternoon meeting, and did not divert their attention to the side. The others were about to remind him when Nan Ge reached out and stopped them.

Soon, Shen Yanqing entered the office at the end of the corridor. A few minutes later, Assistant Yuan came out with a stack of documents in his hand.

During the lunch gathering, he had also drunk some wine and his head was still a little dizzy.

President Shen asked him to go and rest after sending the documents.

Assistant Yuan raised his hand and rubbed the back of his neck. When he opened his eyes again, he immediately saw Nan Ge waving at him not far away.

Stunned, he hurried forward.

“You’re here. President Shen…

Before she could say anything, Nan Ge smiled and said, “He doesn’t know I’m here. Did you just come back? Did you drink?”

As he walked closer, she could smell the scent of wine on Assistant Yuan. still had a trace of the fragrance of wine on him.

Assistant Yuan nodded. He thought of something and said, “We had a meal with Chenghai Investment Bank, but President Shen didn’t drink. No one dares to force President Shen to drink at such a lunch meeting. Don’t worry.”

“Thank you for your hard work.” Nan Ge looked at his flushed face and reached out to take the document from his hand. ‘Where are you sending it? Let me help you.”

“I’ll do it!” Miaomiao took it from Assistant Yuan’s hand first. “Go look for

President Shen. Yuan, hurry up and take a nap.”

Assistant Yuan really could not take it anymore.

The secretary they brought over at noon had something to do and left halfway, so he was the only one left on their side, so he drank a little too much.

After updating Miaomiao about work, Assistant Yuan was about to leave when he took a step back. He slapped his forehead and said in frustration.

“Oh right, President Shen’s coffee. Look at my brain. I forgot about it as soon as I went out.”

“I’ll do it,” Nan Ge volunteered again. She did not give them a chance to stop her. She put on the coat in her hand and strode into the pantry.

“Enter.”

There was a knock on the door. Shen Yanqing did not look up as he heard footsteps approaching.

Immediately after, the steaming coffee was placed beside his hand.

“Okay,” he replied, indicating that Assistant Yuan could go back and rest.

From the beginning to the end, his gaze never left the computer screen. It was obvious that he was really busy.

The figure beside him did not leave for a long time, blocking the light coming through the French window at the side. Shadows poured down and surrounded him.

Shen Yanqing’s fingers on the keyboard stopped. He looked over from the corner of his eye.

Before he could see anything clearly, he smelled a familiar perfume.

Nan Ge usually liked to use perfume, but the fragrance she used was relatively simple and sweet.

After realizing something, he raised his head slightly. When he saw her, he was stunned for a moment. His dark eyes under the glasses looked smiley. “Did you drive here alone?”

He got up and immediately held her hand after saying that. With his other hand, he helped her take off the jacket that was about to fall from her shoulder.

Nan Ge reported her schedule. He did not continue with work and began to pour her water. She leaned against his desk and deliberately said, “President Shen, don’t you want coffee?”

Shen Yanqing was not in the mood to drink coffee. He poured her a glass of hot water and tested the temperature before handing it over.

He took the opportunity to step forward and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Nan Ge sipped her water and ignored him.

Almost as soon as she finished drinking the water and was about to speak to him, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Ever since the holidays, the two of them had not seen each other for more than a week.

During this period, he was busy, and so was she.

At the end of the year, there were countless gatherings. Yu would send her WeChat messages every day. At first, she was bored and went out to see people for a couple of days. Later, she completely lost interest.

Nan Zhe was watching her closely, so Yu did not dare to call people to go driving.

After all, if they wanted to do this, it would not be an ordinary drive.

Therefore, these gatherings were nothing more than eating, playing cards, drinking, and some lousy games.

The Nan family had caused quite a commotion in the second half of the year.

There was also the recent matter between her and Shen Yanqing. A lot of people in the industry wanted to find an opportunity to get information out of her.

Nan Ge did not want to lie, but neither did she want to answer.

She decided to push away all the subsequent gatherings.

It was most comfortable to stay with Shen Yanqing.

When they separated, Nan Ge deliberately bit his lips. After that, she smiled smugly, causing Shen Yanqing to pinch her chin and kiss her again.

The two of them teased each other for a while. Nan Ge thought that he was busy, so she urged him to go to work.

She did not leave and sat down opposite him.

Shen Yanqing was afraid that she would be bored, so he took the time to chat with her while working.

At the mention of the New Year, Nan Ge tapped her chin with her pink fingertips. She subconsciously looked at the cabinet behind him and fell into deep thought.

“Am I going to your house with you this Spring Festival?” Given their current relationship, they should go.

“Anything is fine. We can go over for a meal when we have time.”

They definitely had to go. He knew that Nan Ge was conflicted about which day to go.

Obviously, she still wanted to stay in Jiang City for New Year’s Eve and the first day of the New Year.

“Then let’s do it on the first day of the new year.” Nan Ge thought for a moment. It was against tradition to do it too early or too late, and the Shen family valued these things very much.

The first day of the new year was the best option.

“Okay.” Shen Yanqing had no objections.

“Then are you coming to Jiang City on the second day of he New Year?” Nan Ge cupped her face, her eyes bright. “We’re going to Grandma’s house that day. Do you want to come with us?”

“Of course.” Shen Yanqing had not officially met Nan Ge’s maternal grandmother.

The last time the parents of both sides met, Nan Ge’s grandmother and uncle were not present. It was said that they were busy with something.

Moreover, their maternal grandmothers lived on the same street. They had to visit.

Nan Ge narrowed her eyes and smiled. “I knew it. When I came, I told Grandma to cook a few specialties for you. My grandmother cooks very well.’

“Also, my uncle and aunt are very good people. They’ve been looking for an opportunity to meet you since a long time ago.”

“Then what do your uncle and aunt like?” Shen Yanqing felt that he had to prepare some gifts in the next two days. He had an idea about what to get her grandmother, but he did not know what her uncle and aunt liked… ‘My uncle is an avid drinker. He’s very good at drinking.’

Shen Yanqing raised his eyebrows. “Do you mean he has the best alcohol tolerance?”

“That’s right.” She nodded without hesitation. “Every year, my father can’t win against Uncle in drinking. My brother is just a small fry in front of them. He is always the first to raise a white flag. Previously, my brother even asked me to find a boyfriend who knows how to drink so that he can support him in the future.”

After saying that, Nan Ge seemed to have realized something. She raised her head and carefully sized up Shen Yanqing.

As expected, the old man refused to admit defeat and added, ‘My alcohol tolerance is actually not bad.”

‘ Nan Ge was speechless and did not comment.

Seeing her suspicion, Shen Yanqing was helpless. “Ignoring the alcohol

allergy.”

“However, it’s fine for me to drink a little with him.”

Nan Ge glared at him. “You’re risking your life to drink with me. You’re really something, Shen Yanqing..”
