"Uncle?" Seeing Shen Rui in the mall during working hours, Shen Nanyi's first reaction was that she must be seeing things.
Based on her understanding of Shen Rui over the years, it was true that Shen Rui was reluctant to take over the company. But in the field he liked, Shen Rui was an out - and - out workaholic.
In recent years, besides running the psychological counseling room, Shen Rui also taught part - time at University A. Apart from seeing him at night, it was almost impossible to spot him on normal days.
It wasn't even evening yet, and here she saw Shen Rui, and in Hang Lung Plaza no less. It was truly astonishing.
"Good girl, Nanyi." Seeing the little girl, Shen Rui's expression finally softened a bit. Then he turned to look at Shen Ye, who was sitting there nonchalantly, and his face instantly changed. "Get up for me!"
Gone was his usual gentle and refined demeanor. Shen Rui's tone was full of rage.
Thanks to the private room they had booked for the meal because of Shen Ye, otherwise Shen Rui in this state would surely have drawn a crowd.
"Second brother, can't you talk nicely? Why are you shouting so loudly?" Shen Ye stood up from the sofa casually, looking helpless.
He had expected Shen Rui to come looking for him, but he didn't think it would be this soon. He had still wanted to maintain a bit of mystery. It was really boring.
"…" Shen Nanyi thought she was quite smart, but listening to their conversation, she was a bit confused. Could someone tell her what was going on?!
She could understand each word separately, but when they were put together, it just didn't make sense to her.
"You can act recklessly on your own, but don't drag Nanyi into it. Don't you know how badly the girls associated with you get slandered?!" Shen Rui was really anxious.
From the moment Shen Ye came out to protect Shen Nanyi to their current shopping trip, everything made his hair stand on end.
Shen Ye's identity was too sensitive. Having too many fans wasn't always a good thing. Many things would be magnified infinitely.
"Second brother, that's not right. How could I ever hurt my little niece?" After standing for a while, Shen Ye still didn't sit down, which showed his respect for Shen Rui.
"…" Shen Nanyi thought she seemed to understand, but looking at the person in front of her, she just couldn't believe that such a good - looking guy was actually her elder.
Old Master Shen was really full of energy. He had managed to keep this a complete secret!
Instantly, Shen Nanyi's mind started to wander. Old Master Shen was seventy - five this year. If she remembered correctly, Shen Ye was only twenty - three...
"Little niece, aren't you happy to have such a handsome uncle? Surprised, right? But I'd prefer it if you called me Nansheng." Shen Ye leaned closer to Shen Nanyi and lowered his voice for the second half of the sentence. Most people present only heard the first part and missed the rest.
But this sentence made Shen Nanyi freeze for a few seconds. Meeting Shen Rui's gaze, she was sure it was the person she knew.
Damn it!
Her younger sister from her past life had also appeared in this world? And had become a man? And the most important thing was that he was now her uncle?!
What kind of hard - luck story was this? No wonder she had thought Shen Ye looked a bit familiar the first time she saw him.
But she had never thought of Shen Nansheng. Who would have thought the gender could change?
"Little niece, call me uncle." Shen Nanyi was still in shock and hadn't recovered when Shen Ye half - joked, with a hint of playfulness.
An action that seemed perfectly normal to everyone else made Shen Nanyi want to curse.
