Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Wen Nuan was just about to fall asleep when the noise woke her up. Already feeling annoyed and hearing Qin Shaojin’s voice, she became fully alert, ”I... I went home.”

Qin Shaojin looked up and said, ”Come downstairs.”

Wen Nuan got up and went to the window. Looking down, she saw Du Bin’s car still parked below and pursed her lips, ”I’m not coming down!”

”Three minutes. You don’t have to come down. The repair costs are out, and I’ll sue you in court for forced compensation—”

”I’m coming down!!”

Wen Nuan slipped on a pair of slippers and, without even having time to change her shoes, hurried out the door.

When she reached the bottom of the stairs and saw Qin Shaojin standing there, she stopped at a distance, ”What’s the matter?”

Qin Shaojin stood there, his gaze sweeping over Wen Nuan.

Feeling uncomfortable under his scrutiny, Wen Nuan asked, ”If there’s nothing else, may I go back?”

Qin Shaojin glanced at the slippers on Wen Nuan’s feet and saw her red-painted toenails nervously arching, her two thumbs rubbing together. His gaze lingered for a moment, then he rolled up his sleeves a bit, ”You did not close the car door properly when you got out.”

Wen Nuan glanced at him and said in a low voice, ”Then why didn’t you close it properly? Or I can close it again for you now.”

Just as she was about to walk towards the car, she heard Qin Shaojin’s voice—

”I lost my cell phone.”

Wen Nuan turned back, looking at Qin Shaojin, ”...”

Qin Shaojin looked at Wen Nuan and gave a harmlessly cheerful smile, ”And my wallet is also gone.”

Wen Nuan’s eyes widened. Lowering her head, she saw the cellphone in her hand and checked the number that had called earlier—it wasn’t his! She quickly dialed Qin Shaojin’s number, only to hear the phone was turned off. Her expression instantly became complicated.

”Do... do you have cash in your wallet?”

Qin Shaojin ran a hand through his hair, ”Yes.”

Wen Nuan’s eyes widened even more, ”How... how much?”

Qin Shaojin stood there, smiling with squinted, peach-blossom eyes, ”Don’t know, I never count my money, but it’s a thick bundle.”

Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment. Looking at Qin Shaojin, she spoke in a very small voice, ”Well, you see, you don’t even know, so there’s no way for me to compensate you for it.”

Qin Shaojin said, ”Cellphone.”

Wen Nuan thought about his cellphone, bit her lip, ”You’ve been using it for several years, right? It’s even started to chip. You can look it up online. If we talk about depreciation—”

Qin Shaojin’s elegant fingers flicked a cigarette alight, then snuffed out the lighter, ”I wasn’t planning on changing cellphones. Why should it depreciate? Do I know how much my phone cost me when I bought it?”

The debt snowballed, getting bigger and bigger!

How unlucky to have a thief appear!

Damn thief!

Wen Nuan stood there, sniffing slightly, her voice filled with grievance, ”Then add it up, and I... I will pay you back over time!”

Qin Shaojin grabbed Wen Nuan’s arm and pulled her in front of him, ”Ten million. I would really like to know how many years it will take for you to pay that back.”

Ten million!

So much!

Wen Nuan’s mind quickly ran through the numbers. If it took ten years, then one hundred million a year. Impossible! She had just graduated, and her salary was just over two thousand yuan. She still needed to pay for food, clothes, phone bills...

It was impressive to save a thousand yuan a month, twelve thousand a year—

Thinking about how she would never be able to pay off the principal by the time she died, not to mention the interest!

Standing there, she looked up, tilting her head to look at Qin Shaojin, ”I... I will try hard to pay you back.”

Wait a minute, something’s not right!

She looked at Qin Shaojin with contempt and said, ”Who has a wallet that can fit ten million? Show me one if you have it.”
