102: Who is closer to you, your boyfriend or your husband?

As expected, when Xu Nanqin heard Qin Shou wanted to buy ice water, she quickly reminded him, her delicate brows slightly furrowed as she gently clutched her lower abdomen, looking genuinely uncomfortable.

"Ah! You can't drink anything cold!"

Upon hearing this, and seeing Nanqin's little expression as she held her stomach, Qin Shou instantly understood and immediately showed a disappointed look.

He had deliberately said he wanted to buy ice water, intending to use it as an excuse to "test" her reaction.

Nanqin's answer immediately made Qin Shou react.

Qin Shou's eyes darted, and he suddenly changed his tune, saying, "Nanqin, I just remembered, my room is a bit messy. I think we shouldn't go up today, hehe."

Qin Shou mused to himself, 'Damn it, if I can't get down to business, and she sees my messy room, it'll just leave a bad impression. Wouldn't that be counterproductive?'

Forget it, better not let her go up.

"Ah—!"

Nanqin was startled by his words, feeling a bit confused, not understanding why Qin Shou would suddenly blurt out something like that.

Just a moment ago, he had enthusiastically invited her up, but after she said she couldn't drink anything cold, he changed his mind in a flash?

In Nanqin's heart, there had been some hesitation just now, but now she felt a strange sense of loss.

However, though Nanqin was pure, she wasn't foolish; on the contrary, she was very intelligent and thoughtful, and quickly figured out Qin Shou's little scheme.

She instantly understood the meaning behind Qin Shou's words, and her pretty face flushed crimson. She couldn't help but give Big Brother Qin a reproachful glance, and said softly, "Big Brother Qin, my stomach hurts, that's why I can't drink ice water."

When Nanqin said this, she hadn't thought much of it; she just wanted Qin Shou not to get the wrong idea, not to think she was deliberately making excuses.

But how could she know that her unintentional remark, to Qin Shou, was a definite hint.

No, this was no longer a hint; in Qin Shou's eyes, this was an explicit statement, an invitation, a subtle tactic of playing hard to get, the shy blush of a maiden in love, the bugle call for a man to gallop forth.

Nanqin hadn't wanted Qin Shou to get the wrong idea, but unexpectedly, upon hearing her words, Qin Shou's thoughts went further and further astray, almost beyond all bounds.

When his thoughts went awry, the expression on his face naturally followed suit. Qin Shou's lips curled into an uncontrollable mischievous grin, the upward curve so exaggerated it almost couldn't return. Even a "Wry-Mouthed God of War" couldn't twist his mouth as much as he did.

How could Qin Shou miss such a golden opportunity? He immediately thickened his skin, cleared his throat twice, and changed his tune again, saying, "Cough, cough—! Uh, Nanqin! I just happen to have stomach medicine in my room. Would you like to come up and take a pill?"

Nanqin hadn't thought much of it originally, but now, seeing Qin Shou's direct gaze and the absurd curve of his lips, even an idiot could guess what was going through Qin Shou's mind—no need to say, it must have been all R-rated scenes!

She instantly understood Qin Shou's true intentions, blushing crimson with shyness. She couldn't help but give Qin Shou a reproachful glare mixed with bashfulness, thinking, 'Big Brother Qin, you're really too naughty! What on earth do you think about all day? Your abacus beads are practically hitting me in the face.'

Do I need stomach medicine? I think I need birth control pills!

"This, wouldn't be very good, Big Brother Qin! I'm just a female university student who hasn't graduated yet, alone, going into my boss's room, I'm afraid people will talk!"

Nanqin still felt a little resistant inside. After all, she was a girl, thin-skinned, and always felt that her relationship with Qin Shou was developing too quickly, leaving her a bit flustered.

More importantly, Chu Jiangnan had never expressed his feelings to her, and she always felt that the relationship between them seemed somewhat unclear, which made her feel uneasy and had some reservations.

"What's so bad about it? A boss can also be a boyfriend, right? No one will talk if you go into your boyfriend's room!"

As he spoke, Qin Shou flashed another devilish smile, activating his Skill of Manliness and Skill, instantly transforming into a male succubus, wildly charming Nanqin.

"Alright then! But Big Brother Qin, you have to behave, no mischief allowed!"

As expected, under the powerful effect of Qin Shou's Skills, Nanqin's psychological defenses instantly crumbled, and she immediately became a bit dazed. Coupled with Qin Shou's words, which clearly indicated his stance and confirmed their official boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, this made her feel both sweet and flustered.

For a moment, Nanqin was completely disoriented and, without fully thinking it through, she inexplicably nodded in agreement.

"Hehe, look at you, what kind of person is Qin Shou? Could I possibly be mischievous? I'm a very conservative person."

To "trick" Nanqin upstairs, Qin Shou instantly put away his devilish smile, and like a Sichuan opera face-changer, immediately adopted an expression of righteous integrity.

As he said this, Qin Shou didn't forget to use his Genius Actor Skill, displaying his acting to its fullest. His performance was perfectly executed, embodying the demeanor of an ancient gentleman.

Qin Shou's sudden change of expression made Nanqin a bit confused, and she muttered to herself, "Is he a Wry-Mouthed God of War? Or a righteous male god?"

However, Nanqin naturally didn't know what was going through Qin Shou's mind at this moment.

Qin Shou thought to himself, "I definitely won't be mischievous; I'll make you say I'm bad!"

"Brother, what's a boyfriend?"

Just as Qin Shou was pondering how to deepen their relationship and turn raw rice into cooked rice, little Nuo Nuo suddenly spoke up.

Little Nuo Nuo blinked her big eyes, looking at Qin Shou with a puzzled expression.

In an instant, Qin Shou felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, and he sobered up immediately. Greatly disappointed, he then remembered that he seemed to have a child bride with him!

With little Nuo Nuo here, what was he going to do?

After all, Qin Shou's place was a rental, with only one room, so he couldn't possibly do anything in front of little Nuo Nuo...!

Qin Shou felt for the first time that having little Nuo Nuo with him was inconvenient, and he began to consider whether he should buy a bigger house and prepare a separate room for Nuo Nuo.

"A boyfriend! Is a girl's very, very best friend."

Upon hearing this, Nanqin couldn't help but stroke little Nuo Nuo's small head, squatting down and smiling as she explained.

It must be said, Nanqin genuinely liked little Nuo Nuo.

"Oh—! So, the very, very best friend means the closest? Which one is closer, a boyfriend or a husband?"

Little Nuo Nuo widened her eyes, pressing on with curiosity.

She felt a strange pang of jealousy, thinking, "If Big Sister Nanqin is Big Brother Qin's very, very best friend, then where do I, who will be Big Brother Qin's wife when I grow up, rank? Is a boyfriend closer than a husband?"

Nuo Nuo's innocent words made Qin Shou's heart skip a beat, startling him.
