84: Chapter 84 First Love Chen Nianshu

The car was quiet for a long while.

Manager Chen Danni took a deep breath and stepped on the gas pedal.

The Volvo accelerated steadily on the main road.

Manager Chen Danni's driving style had always been aggressive.

She watched the road ahead, her eyes focused.

Her lane changes and overtaking maneuvers were clean and swift, without the slightest hesitation.

In the back seat, Zhang Qi and Qian Mengsheng swayed slightly with the movement of the car.

Ever since the incident with the speed bump earlier.

Zhang Qi had taken the opportunity to put his arm around Qian Mengsheng's shoulder.

He hadn't let go since, his posture appearing completely natural.

Qian Mengsheng sat bolt upright in her seat, not daring to move an inch.

Her gaze was fixed firmly on the leather backrest of the front seat.

She didn't even have the courage to turn her head and glance at Zhang Qi.

But she also didn't reach out to push Zhang Qi away.

Zhang Qi's arm rested steadily around those slender shoulders.

Through that milky-white knit sweater.

He could clearly feel the softness and warmth of the girl's delicate body.

Qian Mengsheng's body was tense, and she had lightened her breathing.

The unique, sweet fragrance of a young girl emanating from her.

Was drifting into Zhang Qi's nose, strand by strand; it smelled exceptionally good.

A satisfied smile played on the corners of Zhang Qi's mouth.

He didn't deliberately try to tease Qian Mengsheng.

He just quietly enjoyed the feeling of having such soft, fragrant beauty in his arms.

He freed his other hand and pulled his phone out of his pants pocket.

A few WeChat messages popped up on the screen.

They were sent by his mother, Chen Xiaojuan.

Zhang Qi unlocked the screen and tapped on the chat box.

"Xiao Qi, I sent you Xiao Chen's phone number two days ago."

"Why haven't you contacted Xiao Chen yet?"

"Your Uncle Chen has been urging me; what is wrong with you, child?"

Zhang Qi looked at these lines of text and shook his head in distress.

His mother had sent the number of his first love, Chen Nianshu, yesterday.

At the time, Zhang Qi had casually replied with a "Got it."

He had hoped to gloss over the matter and stall for time.

But clearly, he hadn't managed to gloss over it at all.

Both sets of parents were actively communicating back in their hometown.

Zhang Qi had no interest in going on a blind date right now.

He was already too busy with the exceptional women around him.

He turned his head and looked at the stiff Qian Mengsheng in his arms.

"Mengsheng, come over here and say something."

Zhang Qi said in a low voice, feeling that delicate touch.

Qian Mengsheng was stunned for a moment and quickly snapped back to reality.

"Say what, Brother Qi?"

She turned her head, looking at Zhang Qi in confusion.

Her round, almond-shaped eyes were filled with confusion and nervousness.

"My family is urging me to go on a blind date; help me handle it."

Zhang Qi said casually.

Hearing this, Manager Chen Danni, who was driving, was shocked.

She couldn't help but glance back through the rearview mirror.

She hadn't expected Zhang Qi to be so wealthy now.

It was absurd that his family was still urging him to go back for a blind date.

Qian Mengsheng was also stunned, her little face instantly flushing bright red.

"Brother Qi, this... this isn't very good, is it?"

Qian Mengsheng spoke hesitatingly, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

She subconsciously glanced at Manager Chen Danni, who was driving.

Pretending to be Zhang Qi's girlfriend in front of Manager Chen Danni made her feel guilty.

After all, compared to her, Manager Chen Danni was closer to Zhang Qi.

"Go ahead and say it; I'm driving, so I can't get away."

Manager Chen Danni acted very magnanimously, her tone steady.

She had long since accepted that a man like Zhang Qi would certainly have more than just her by his side.

Especially a pure and pretty young girl like Qian Mengsheng.

Since she couldn't escape Zhang Qi's clutches, there was nothing wrong with everyone getting along harmoniously.

Seeing that Manager Chen Danni didn't mind, Qian Mengsheng's worries instantly dissipated.

In their place was an inexplicable sense of secret joy.

Did this count as some kind of signal from Brother Qi?

"Well, okay then."

Qian Mengsheng took a deep breath, her delicate body still tense.

She felt like her heart was beating so fast it was about to jump out of her throat.

Zhang Qi smiled and pressed the voice message button on WeChat.

He held the phone up to Qian Mengsheng's mouth, signaling that she could begin.

Qian Mengsheng closed her eyes, trying hard to make her voice sound natural.

"Hello, Uncle and Auntie, I am Brother Qi's girlfriend, Qian Mengsheng."

"Brother Qi has been too busy lately to tell you."

"When he has some time off later, I will definitely accompany him back to your hometown to visit you."

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, carrying the soft, sweet lilt of a girl from the Jiangnan region.

It sounded both polite and filled with the sweetness of being in love.

Zhang Qi nodded in satisfaction, released the button, and the voice message was sent.

At this moment, in a quiet little village hundreds of kilometers away.

Zhang Jiande and Chen Xiaojuan were sitting on the stone benches in their courtyard.

The two were fretting over their son's future marriage.

Suddenly, Zhang Jiande's phone beeped.

"Did our son reply?"

Chen Xiaojuan quickly leaned over, looking eager.

Zhang Jiande tapped on the voice message.

Qian Mengsheng's pleasant voice instantly rang out in the small courtyard.

After hearing it, the two elderly people immediately looked at each other.

"Is... is this our son's new girlfriend?"

Chen Xiaojuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Listening to her voice, she shouldn't be very old, and she sounds quite polite."

Zhang Jiande frowned and reached out to light a cigarette.

His feelings were actually quite complicated.

"This child, the speed at which he changes girlfriends is just too fast, isn't it?"

Chen Xiaojuan couldn't help but complain.

"It's only been a few days since he broke up with that Sun Qianwen, and now he's brought back another one."

"In my opinion, this one is just like the last one; it probably won't last long."

She sighed, still feeling uneasy in her heart.

In her impression, her son had always been a simp who gave his heart and soul to his relationships.

With this kind of personality, he was most likely to get hurt in relationships.

"What can we do? Xiao Qi is already seeing someone."

Zhang Jiande took a deep drag of his cigarette, his tone helpless.

"We can't force him to break up with her, can we?"

"I still prefer the daughter of the Chen family."

"That Nianshu girl has been smart since she was little, and now she's a PhD student; how respectable that is."

Chen Xiaojuan also nodded, looking regretful.

"Sigh, you go and tell Old Chen; don't keep them waiting any longer."

"The mess this has become, it's truly embarrassing."

Zhang Jiande stubbed out his cigarette, stood up, and walked out the door with heavy steps.

He went to Old Chen's house in the same village and stammered out the situation.

After hearing it, Old Chen also looked regretful.

"Is that so? Then there's really nothing we can do; you can't force matters of the heart."

"Alright, I'll tell Nianshu later."

Old Chen sighed and saw Zhang Jiande out the door.

Once the courtyard was quiet again, Old Chen took out his phone and sent a message to his daughter.

At this moment, inside the doctoral student dormitory at Magic City Normal University.

Chen Nianshu was sitting at her desk, leafing through a thick academic work.

She was wearing a simple light-gray cotton nightdress.

Even so, it couldn't hide her nearly perfect body curves.

Her skin was extremely fair, exuding an ivory-like texture.

Her long hair was casually tied back, revealing the graceful lines of her neck.

Her whole demeanor exuded an intellectual, elegant, and refined aura.

The phone on the table vibrated.

Chen Nianshu picked up the phone and saw the message sent by her father.

"Nianshu, Xiao Qi said he already has a girlfriend."

"This blind date thing, I guess it's just going to be called off."

Chen Nianshu stared at the screen for a few seconds, her beautiful brows slightly furrowed.

She didn't show much disappointment; instead, she appeared very calm.

She slightly pursed her thin lips, pondering for a moment.

"He has a girlfriend?"

She silently repeated this information in her heart.

"Dad, I understand."

Chen Nianshu's fair fingers tapped rapidly on the screen.

"Please get his phone number and send it to me."

"After all, it's been a long time since we've met; I want to add him on WeChat and catch up."
