Chapter 296 Nan Nan's surprise, finally knowing the whereabouts of the little bastard
In the hotel room, Chen An looked at the takeaway on the table and couldn't help but look at Da Mai helplessly, but he could understand her thoughts in his heart. Although they were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, she obviously couldn't get over the idea of having to spend her own money all the time.
Moreover, the consumption level in Shanghai is too high, which puts a lot of pressure on the little girl.
Da Mai took Chen An's hand and sat down, saying with a smile, "Brother Xiaowu, this rice noodle shop is very authentic, and the duck is also very delicious."
"Didn't I tell you to wait for me to come back? Why did you eat early?" Chen An picked up a tissue, wiped the corner of Da Mai's mouth and joked.
"I'm just worried that it's too spicy and you can't eat it." Da Mai opened the takeaway box and carefully added half a spoonful of chili oil. "This is just right. If there's too much, you won't be used to it..."
Chen An sniffed. The chili oil smelled really good. He picked up the chopsticks and took a sip. Although it had been soaked a little longer, the taste was indeed authentic.
"Not bad, Xiaomaizi has good taste as always, but I still prefer to eat the noodles you cooked yourself."
"I am also envious of your cooking skills."
Chen An then noticed that a palace drama was playing on TV at the moment, and asked with a smile, "Are you starting research so soon?"
"The early bird catches the worm. If you fail to write well, you will be laughed at by others." Damai lowered his head in embarrassment.
Chen An could see that in the current situation, Damai would not be in the mood to go out with her, and she was a homebody. "I haven't had time to watch a drama for a long time. I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so let's watch it together..."
When Da Mai heard this, a happy expression immediately appeared on her face. She was really afraid that Chen An would take her out shopping. If she refused, Brother Xiaowu would be unhappy, and if he agreed, she would feel uncomfortable. Watching dramas together, chatting, and discussing works were the life and the way of getting along that she wanted.
After dinner, the two of them leaned on the sofa and watched a drama. As Da Mai watched the plot in the drama, he couldn't help but pout and complain, "Brother Xiaowu, this concubine is so bad, he actually threatened her with this kind of thing..."
Chen An joked, "Maizi, you can hardly survive three episodes in a TV series. You are obviously a woman with high expectations but low skills. You are using a non-fatal handle to threaten others to betray their master. Isn't this nonsense? You will probably be tricked in return..."
"Is this true? If Concubine De knew about this, wouldn't she be in great pain?" Da Mai asked in surprise, his eyes wide open.
"If the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached? This is such a simple truth. How can this woman become the confidant of Concubine De? How can she be a fool?"
Da Mai nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Brother Xiaowu, how do you think things will develop next?"
Chen An thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, this woman thinks she is smart, but she will soon be outmaneuvered. How could Concubine De be able to stand firm in the palace for many years and tolerate such a stupid and greedy person around her?"
"What if we do it the other way around?" Barley asked curiously, without blinking.
Chen An smiled slightly, "Maybe he will deliberately leak some false information to lure this woman into taking the bait, and then find something to hold against her and eliminate her in one fell swoop. Or he may set up a trap to make her reveal her true colors."
Da Mai's eyes sparkled. "Do you think Concubine De will do it herself?"
Chen An shook his head. "Not necessarily. Concubine De might use someone else's hand. After all, if she does it herself, it's easy for people to criticize her. If she wants to compete for the position of the master of the harem, both the means and the mentality are very important. Moreover, in this kind of thing, there will naturally be someone to take care of it for her. When the time is right, she will come forward to plead for mercy and establish a tolerant personality, which will be more perfect."
"Brother Xiaowu, if you traveled back to ancient times and became a concubine, the position of the master of the harem would belong to you." Da Mai leaned in Chen An's arms, blinked his eyes and joked, with a playful smile on his face.
Chen An scratched Da Mai's nose unhappily, and said with a smile, "Then I will let you be my eunuch."
"Hail, Your Majesty." Da Mai propped himself up in a funny way and couldn't help giggling, his laughter echoing in the room.
Before dinner, Xu Hongdou called Chen An and told him that she was staying at Xu Hongmi's house that night. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they wanted to chat and told him not to worry.
Chen An thought that since this was the case, he might as well accompany Da Mai in the evening. However, he did not expect that he would be ruthlessly expelled after dinner.
Thinking of Da Mai with his hands on his hips, saying seriously, "Men can only affect the progress of my sister's new book." Chen An couldn't help but laugh. Could he give up so soon?
After working hard for a whole day, she only got a hundred points and one energy point. This girl, Barley, is really useless.
On the way home, Chen An unexpectedly received a call from Xie Xiaoxia.
"What's wrong, Xiaoxia?" Chen An asked curiously.
"Brother Chen, the recliner you asked me to make is ready, and the tea tray is also ready. Give me an address and I will send it to you." Xie Xiaoxia's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh, I'll send it to you later. I'm driving now."
"By the way, Brother Chen, that chair doesn't actually cost that much money. I'll transfer the extra money to you." Xie Xiaoxia said sincerely.
"No need, Xiaoxia, don't make things difficult for me as we agreed upon." Chen An said in a firm tone.
"Well, okay then. By the way, Brother Chen, if you want the local specialties, give me a call and I'll send them to you." Xie Xiaoxia had already guessed it, so she immediately changed her words.
"Okay, work hard and become a man soon." Chen An encouraged.
"Ah."
Putting away his phone, Chen An thought for a while and decided to send Nan Nan's home address.
After returning home, Chen An took a shower, made a pot of tea and sat on the balcony. The night breeze blew gently, he looked at the dim lights in the distance and made a video call to Nan Nan.
"Xiao An, what have you been busy with these two days? You are so slow in replying to messages." Chen Nanxing's voice came in a coquettish tone, with a slightly reproachful expression on her face.
"I've been busy these two days. What are you doing, baby?" Chen An asked with a smile.
"I just finished taking a shower. Where are you now?" Chen Nanxing asked in surprise. After all, most of the time when Chen An video-chatted with her, it was in the bathroom or some place without any reference points.
"I'm in the Magic City." Chen An said easily.
"You are in Shanghai?" Chen Nanxing blinked, a little surprised that this little bastard was finally willing to tell him his whereabouts.
Chen An touched his nose and smiled, "I've been here for about ten days."
"Then, what are you going to do in Mo?" Chen Nanxing asked curiously, his eyes full of concern.
"To make money. Otherwise, all the boasting has been made and it needs to be made up." Chen An raised his eyebrows, looking confident.
"I don't care about these things. Besides, my parents don't know the situation." Chen Nanxing said softly.
"Why should I explain this? I'm not angry. It's normal for parents to think about their children." Chen An said gently.
"Well, Xiao An, where do you live in Shanghai?" Chen Nanxing said and then quickly explained, "Well, I just wanted to buy you some clothes because the seasons are changing."
"Do we need to explain this to each other?" Chen An asked with a puzzled expression, "Baby, why do I feel that you have gained a lot of weight recently? Is uncle and aunt's cooking skills better than mine?"
Chen Nanxing felt a little depressed, and pouted with an embarrassed look, "Why do you start to dislike me?"
"Don't you know me yet? I prefer it when it's chubby." Chen An coaxed quickly.
"You are so beautiful and you are a writer. Where is your level?" Chen Nanxing said coquettishly and rolled her eyes at Chen An.
"Ah, you dare to look down on your man, let me write a poem for you." Chen An thought for a while, his eyes lit up and he smiled, "You are still plump and charming, and your beauty is still beautiful. Your smile is like a spring flower blooming in your heart, and your charm is so charming that it can overwhelm the whole country."
Chen Nanxing couldn't help but his eyes lit up, "Hey, it sounds pretty good, Xiao An, please repeat it and I'll write it down."
"Now you know how powerful I am." Chen An raised his head proudly.
"You are awesome. You will always be the best in my eyes." Chen Nanxing smiled sweetly.
"Comfortable. I'll be ready with my writing." Chen An said in a pretended majestic manner.
"I'm waiting for you, you big-headed ghost. Send it over here quickly." Chen Nanxing scolded with a smile.
