School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 720: Chapter 797: Choose Qingqing, or Xinya?

Chen Nan fell into silence.

Gongsun Yudie didn’t ask for much, just the simplest of requests, but for him, it was as difficult as climbing to heaven.

For Gongsun Yudie, he could do anything.

Just like this time, when he ventured into the Sky Sword Sect, knowing it was a matter of life and death, he didn’t even frown.

He dared to do anything, except he dared not promise her a future.

Because a promise meant a responsibility, and if one wasn’t confident of fulfilling it, it was better not to make the promise easily, to avoid hurting both oneself and others.

Seeing Chen Nan hesitating for a long time without responding, Gongsun Yudie’s face gradually lost its hopeful look, and she shook her head in disappointment, saying, ”You don’t have to answer. I already know the answer.”

...

Ultimately, Gongsun Yudie chose to stay at the Sky Sword Sect.

Around two o’clock in the afternoon, Chen Nan descended the mountain and left.

Before he left, he went to see Sect Leader Fang Jingshan specially, who also promised him, no matter what, to definitely not harm the child in Gongsun Yudie’s womb.

Around six-thirty in the evening, Chen Nan returned to Ningjiang City.

Just off the plane, Chen Nan took out his mobile phone from his storage ring, and immediately, text alert tones kept ringing— calls missed, mostly from Su Qingqing and Huo Xinya.

Having learnt from previous lessons where his phone was destroyed in a fight, Chen Nan had gotten smarter and knew to put his phone in the storage ring when a big battle was expected. However, this also blocked the signal, making all calls unreachable.

Looking at these numbers, Chen Nan first returned Huo Xinya’s call.

As Chen Nan’s phone had been unreachable all this while, Huo Xinya was anxious. Suddenly receiving his call made her very happy. Surprisingly, she took the initiative to say she missed him for the first time and asked Chen Nan to come over and keep her company at her place.

Chen Nan naturally would not refuse Huo Xinya’s request.

After exchanging a few sweet words, they hung up the phone, and just as Chen Nan was about to head to Huo Xinya’s home, Su Qingqing called him.

As soon as Chen Nan answered, Su Qingqing’s excited laughter came through the other end.

Obviously, having tried so many unsuccessful calls before, the young lady was already a bit anxious, and now that she finally got through, she could hardly suppress her excited emotions.

After talking for a few minutes, Chen Nan was about to inform her that he had some matters to take care of and might not be able to come home tonight, but before he could begin, the young lady exclaimed she was coming to pick him up at the airport, and then, without giving Chen Nan a chance to speak, she made a decision on her own.

By the time Chen Nan wanted to decline, it was too late, she had hung up the phone.

A second before the phone was disconnected, her happy laughter could still be heard.

”Chen Nan oh Chen Nan, what kind of karma have you created!”

Chen Nan patted his forehead, feeling troubled.

After all, he had just promised Huo Xinya to go to her place, and now Su Qingqing was coming to pick him up, and from her excited tone, it seemed like she was already on her way.

Looking at the two numbers on his phone, Chen Nan was torn.

Should he dial Huo Xinya’s number to tell her he couldn’t make it tonight, or should he call Su Qingqing and ask her not to come?

”If only I had the Clone Technique.”

Chen Nan lit a cigarette with a heavy heart, unable to bring himself to dial either number, because he knew that whatever voice came through on the other end would surely be filled with disappointment, which was the last thing he wanted to hear.

Chen Nan hesitated, and after smoking a cigarette, he steeled his heart and chose Su Qingqing’s number.

Right now, his relationship with Huo Xinya had just mended after being shattered, and he couldn’t let her down.

As for Su Qingqing, despite his fondness for her, Chen Nan dared not think further. He was afraid that considering her good qualities would make him unable to hang up the phone.

Not long after, Su Qingqing answered the phone, ”Silly, I’m driving right now, what’s up?”

She had already set off!

But when he thought about it, it was no surprise, he had already smoked an entire cigarette, how could she not have set off!

Chen Nan felt a sense of guilt arise within him and felt somewhat embarrassed to speak, after all, she had already come out, was he supposed to ask her to turn back home?

”Silly, what’s really going on? Talk to me!” Su Qingqing asked, puzzled.

”That...”

Chen Nan pinched himself hard and steeled himself as he spoke, ”I still have some things to take care of later, I might not come back tonight, so don’t come pick me up.”

Su Qingqing giggled, ”Stop joking, I’m already on the road.”

”I’m not joking.”

Chen Nan gritted his teeth and firmly said, ”I really have some things to take care of, don’t come.”

”Oh.”

The utterly disappointed voice of Su Qingqing.

”Don’t be mad, I didn’t have time to tell you before you hung up the phone.”

Chen Nan was telling the truth, but he felt it was hard for Su Qingqing to believe, especially since he had waited several minutes after she hung up to call her.

Su Qingqing fell into silence.

After a while, she finally said, ”Your explanation is too... forget it, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.”

Chen Nan quickly said, ”Everything I said is true.”

”I might be a bit paranoid, but I’m not an idiot,” Su Qingqing said, and after that, she hung up the phone.

Looking at the phone number on his phone, Chen Nan slapped himself hard on the face, feeling very guilty for hurting her heart again.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Nan dialed Su Qingqing’s number again, hoping to comfort her.

But that girl was also stubborn, simply rejecting the call.

Chen Nan tried calling several times, but Su Qingqing never answered; finally, Chen Nan got anxious, worried that the mad girl might go speeding again because she was angry.

After all, she had driven recklessly when she was in a bad mood before, and even crashed into a river.

Thinking this way, Chen Nan became even more anxious, and quickly sent a text message, ”Little mad miss, don’t be mad, I was just kidding.”

”Hmph! Dare to play me! You wait!!!”

Su Qingqing promptly replied with one text, and she used three exclamation points to emphasize her tone, giving Chen Nan the illusion as if that mad girl was about to pounce at him with bared teeth and claws...

Shaking his head, Chen Nan pulled up Huo Xinya’s number.

By now Su Qingqing was surely turning around and heading to the airport, but what should he say to Huo Xinya?

Chen Nan smoked a cigarette, pondered for a while, and then finally called Huo Xinya, telling her he still had some things to deal with and would be a bit late.

Huo Xinya, although not too pleased in tone, was naturally gentle by nature and wouldn’t force Chen Nan to come now, just filled with hope she told Chen Nan to come over after he was done, trying not to be too late.

”Xinxin is so easy to talk to, not like that wild and unreasonable Qingqing,”

Chen Nan muttered as he was just putting away his phone, but then a huffy voice came from behind him: ”Stupid, who are you calling a mad miss, who are you calling wild and unreasonable?”
