Chapter 153 My Sister-in-Law's Request!
"Brother-in-law!"
A head peeked out from behind the door, calling softly.
It's Nie Xiaorou.
Today she was wearing a pink down jacket and had her hair in a cute bun. Her youthful and beautiful face showed a hint of nervousness, like someone caught doing something wrong, and a slightly ingratiating smile.
Zhang Yan was sitting in a rocking chair in the yard, leisurely basking in the sun. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but find it a little funny.
"What's up?"
He didn't even lift his eyelids.
"hey-hey……"
Nie Xiaorou tiptoed in like a kitten, first looking around warily to make sure no one was there before approaching Zhang Yan.
"Brother-in-law, are you... free today?"
She rubbed her hands together and asked expectantly.
"I'm busy."
Zhang Yan answered crisply and decisively.
"No!"
Nie Xiaorou's face fell instantly.
She grabbed Zhang Yan's arm and started to act coquettishly.
"Brother-in-law, my dearest brother-in-law, please come out and have some fun with me!"
"I've never gone out to play by myself before!"
The girl's body was soft and warm, with a faint fragrance.
That "brother-in-law" was uttered in such a sweet and tender voice that it was enough to make any man's heart flutter.
But Zhang Yan remained unmoved.
"If you want to go out and have fun, go find your sister."
"I've looked!"
Nie Xiaorou looked aggrieved. "But my sister said she has to have a video conference with the presidents of several branch offices and doesn't have time."
"And she also said that if I dared to sneak out alone, she would break my legs!"
As she spoke, she shrank back, still feeling a lingering fear.
Zhang Yan's lips twitched.
This is indeed something Nie Qingcheng would do.
"So, you came to find me?"
"Uh-huh!"
Nie Xiaorou nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "My sister said she'll agree as long as you're willing to take me out!"
"Brother-in-law, please just do me a favor, okay?"
She shook Zhang Yan's arm, her peach blossom eyes, which bore a resemblance to Nie Qingcheng's, blinking pleadingly.
Please!
Zhang Yan's head started to ache from being shaken so much.
Taking a burden on a trip?
Or is she an energetic teenage girl who could get into trouble at any time?
He politely declined.
"I'm not going."
He rejected him again, without hesitation.
Seeing that acting cute and charming was useless, Nie Xiaorou's eyes lit up and she suddenly thought of something.
She cleared her throat, dropped her pitiful expression, and adopted a "negotiating" posture.
"Brother-in-law, don't be in such a hurry to refuse."
"There are some benefits to you taking me out."
"Oh?"
Zhang Yan finally became interested, opened his eyes, looked at her, and asked, "What are the benefits?"
"I... I can show you my sister's exclusive embarrassing photos that I've treasured for years!"
Nie Xiaorou gritted her teeth and unleashed her ultimate trump card.
"For example, a photo of her as a child, wearing open-crotch pants, rolling around in the mud!"
"And there's the 3,000-word self-criticism she wrote when she was in junior high school for making a mistake!"
"So? This deal is a good one, isn't it?"
She looked at Zhang Yan expectantly with an expression that said, "I've sacrificed so much for you."
Zhang Yan was taken aback upon hearing this.
Then he smiled.
He reached out and pinched Nie Xiaorou's delicate, flawless face.
"I know your sister's dark history much better than you do."
In an instant, a glorious image flashed into his mind: a female CEO worth hundreds of billions, wearing SpongeBob SquarePants pajamas, clinging to his leg, crying and begging for a midnight snack.
"what?"
Nie Xiaorou was dumbfounded.
Her biggest trump card was... completely useless?
Just as she was about to give up and leave dejectedly.
"Alright, stop standing there."
Zhang Yan's voice suddenly rang out.
"Huh?"
Nie Xiaorou suddenly raised her head, and hope rekindled in her eyes.
"It's not that you can't go out and have fun if you want."
Looking at her like that, Zhang Yan shook his head helplessly. "However, you have to go and inform your sister first."
"Yay! Brother-in-law, you're so great!"
Nie Xiaorou instantly revived on the spot, and was so happy that she almost jumped up.
She grabbed Zhang Yan's arm and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"You're my brother-in-law!"
Zhang Yan: "..."
He wiped the drool off his face with disgust.
This girl is just like her sister; she always likes to take advantage of others.
The two arrived at Nie Qingcheng's study.
Nie Qingcheng was indeed in a meeting.
She was dressed in a smart white suit and was engaged in a heated debate in fluent English with several blond, blue-eyed foreigners on the other side of the screen.
That decisive and ruthless queenly aura filled Nie Xiaorou with awe.
This is her legendary older sister.
Upon seeing Zhang Yan and Nie Xiaorou enter, Nie Qingcheng said "Wait a moment" to the person on the screen and then pressed the mute button.
She took off her glasses, rubbed her temples, and her sharp aura instantly dissipated, replaced by a hint of helplessness and doting.
"So, what trouble have you gotten into this time?"
She looked at Nie Xiaorou.
"No, no!"
Nie Xiaorou quickly waved her hand and hid behind Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan stepped forward and, quite naturally, reached out to massage her temples.
"She wants to go out and have fun, and I think it's really not good for her to stay cooped up at home all day."
He began to speak.
His warm fingertips, carrying a peculiar magic, instantly relieved Nie Qingcheng's mental fatigue.
She squinted comfortably, like a cat being stroked.
"You want to take her with you?"
"Um."
"Oh well."
Nie Qingcheng nodded in agreement almost without hesitation.
She paused, then added, "However, there are a few conditions."
She looked at Nie Xiaorou, who was hiding behind Zhang Yan, and her eyes sharpened again.
"First, you must be home before 8 PM."
"Secondly, you must listen to your brother-in-law in all actions. You are not allowed to act on your own or cause trouble."
"third,"
She looked at Nie Xiaorou and said, word by word, "You are not allowed to stay more than three meters away from your brother-in-law."
Nie Xiaorou felt uneasy under her gaze and nodded frantically.
"Okay, okay!"
"Don't worry, sis! I promise I'll listen to my brother-in-law!"
"Um."
Nie Qingcheng nodded in satisfaction.
She turned her head to look at Zhang Yan, and her eyes instantly became gentle and tender.
"Then be careful and come back soon."
She tiptoed and, oblivious to everyone else, planted a kiss on Zhang Yan's lips.
"I'll wait for you. Let's go home for dinner."
Behind her, Nie Xiaorou watched this scene and silently covered her eyes with her hands.
It's unbearable to look at.
It's unbearable to look at.
The stench of this romance is almost unbearable!
When Nie Xiaorou came out of the study, the way she looked at Zhang Yan had completely changed to looking at a "god".
She could keep her queen-like older sister completely under her thumb.
This man is absolutely a god!
"Brother-in-law, where shall we go for fun?"
She followed behind Zhang Yan, asking excitedly.
"have no idea."
"what?"
"Where do you want to go?"
Zhang Yan countered with a question.
"I...I don't know either."
Nie Xiaorou scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.
She was strictly controlled by her family from a young age, and her activities were basically confined to the area within the Third Ring Road of Beijing.
She was already tired of those so-called popular tourist attractions.
What she wanted was a thrilling, different, and unprecedented way of playing.
Zhang Yan looked at her expression, which was both longing and confused, and suddenly smiled.
"Alright."
"Then today, I'll show you the world of adults."
He took Nie Xiaorou and instead of going to the garage, he went around to the backyard of the old house, to a secluded warehouse used for storing miscellaneous items.
He took an ordinary-looking key out of his pocket and opened the warehouse door.
"Brother-in-law, what are we doing here?"
Nie Xiaorou asked curiously.
The warehouse was dimly lit and covered in dust.
Only one huge, unidentified object, covered by a dust cloth, remained in the center.
Zhang Yan didn't say anything, but walked forward and ripped off the dust cover.
next second.
Nie Xiaorou's eyes widened instantly.
Breathing seemed to stop at that moment.
