I Deliver Food in a Lamborghini - Chapter 44
44 Going to the Concert Together
Nan Ge’s vision was already blurred by tears when she answered the phone, so she did not see the caller ID on the screen.
She wanted to hold back her tears, but once she spoke, she could not help but cry.
Shen Yanqing frowned slightly, and his relaxed expression instantly became tense.
He stopped in his tracks and picked up the phone with his other hand. “What’s wrong, Nan Ge?”
!!
“Are you in trouble?”
“Where are you now? I’ll be right there.”
“Who’s there? Give the other party the phone. Don’t be afraid. I’ll talk.”
Shen Yanqing had always felt that delivering food every day was not a safe and reliable job for a young lady like her.
Putting aside other problems, Huai City was one of the top cities in the country. Even when it was late at night, the traffic was higher than in many other cities during the day.
She rode the electric scooter every day and was prone to traffic accidents.
He now thought that Nan Ge must have encountered some trouble on the way.
Nan Ge stopped crying.
At first, she choked and wanted to say something, but Shen Yanqing’s tone was even more anxious than hers.
The words hit her eardrums one after another, disrupting the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
What was she going to say…
“I…”
She scratched her head, feeling a little lost. She did not know which question to answer him first.
Shen Yanqing realized that his tone was inappropriate earlier. He took a deep breath and said softly, “Calm down. Why don’t you tell me where you are first?”
“Then tell me what happened.”
After a moment of silence, she softly hiccupped from crying. “I’m at the gymnasium on South Central Road. My tickets have just been stolen!”
“The gymnasium?”
After learning of this, Shen Yanqing turned around and looked behind him.
Could it be such a coincidence?
For the first time, as a native of Huai City, he was a little uncertain.
He covered the phone and called Assistant Yuan. He asked softly, “Is this the only gymnasium on South Central Road?”
Assistant Yuan automatically felt a little confused. “Yes, President Shen. This is it.”
Huai City was not big, but because it was very prosperous, there were about four gymnasiums built in total. However, there was definitely only one on South Central Road.
After saying that, Assistant Yuan mouthed “what happened” and asked if he wanted to get into the car first.
The latter gestured to him and strode out.
“Are you still outside the stadium?”
“Yes, yes. I just called the police. The uncle said that it might take a few days to find the culprit, so I definitely won’t be able to watch my concert today.”
As soon as the conversation started, Nan Ge complained emotionally, “I clearly put the tickets in my backpack. I don’t know when they disappeared!”
“Those scalpers are really annoying! They stole a lot of tickets! My ticket is also a front-row ticket! If I sell it, it will be worth $200,000!”
“Damn it!” The more Nan Ge spoke, the angrier she became. She could not help but raise her foot and kick the street lamp in front of her.
The next second, she took a deep breath in pain. When she regained her senses, she quickly apologized to the street lamp. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I can’t damage public property.”
Shen Yanqing came from another exit. As he listened to her voice on the way, he could not help but run.
As soon as he turned the corner, he looked up and quickly locked onto the petite figure under the streetlamp not far from the main door.
The scene of Nan Ge kicking the street lamp did not escape his eyes.
Listening to the voice on the phone and looking at the vivid scene in the distance, Shen Yanqing heaved a sigh of relief.
He stood there calmly for two seconds. Before long, he returned to looking like his usual composed self and strode towards Nan Ge.
Nan Ge did not know that he had already seen her. She lowered her head and continued to complain to the person on the phone as she walked.
She kept walking until a shadow fell in front of her and enveloped her. A familiar aura came from the wind and wrapped around her tightly.
She paused and looked at the leather shoes in front of her. As if she had thought of someone, she suddenly looked up. Because she was wearing a hoodie underneath, the hood slid down as she looked up, blocking her vision.
“Hey…” Her vision suddenly darkened. Before she could reach out to take off her hood, the person opposite her was one step ahead of her. He gently pinched the brim of the hood and raised it.
The man smiled gently and reminded her teasingly, “Watch where you’re going next time.”
The lights on the stage in the gymnasium lit up, and faint screams could be heard.
Amidst the commotion, the two of them stood face-to-face at the intersection. One was tall and the other was short. The shadows on the ground overlapped and collided under the intersecting light and shadow.
Cars came and went beside her. Nan Ge was woken up by the sound of the car.
“You…” She tilted her head and looked at the phone that was still on the line. Her eyes widened. “Did you fly over?”
The talk time was only six minutes.
How did this person teleport from the phone to her?
“I happened to be near the gymnasium.” Shen Yanqing looked at the police officers who had yet to leave behind her and his gaze landed on her again.
The little girl’s eyes were still red. On closer look, there were still tears on her eyelashes. She had just finished crying.
He frowned slightly. “Have you already communicated with the police?”
“Yes, yes.” Nan Ge nodded. “It’s impossible to get the ticket back in a short period of time. I’ll probably get compensated money later.”
“It’s fine. You can still watch it tonight.” Shen Yanqing was also a little glad. “Fortunately, you want to watch this concert.”
Nan Ge did not understand and asked curiously, “What do you mean?”
“Fortunately, this is still within my capabilities.”
“You can come in with me.”
“I’ll take you to the best seat.”
Nan Ge widened her eyes and stood rooted to the ground. “No need. I’m fine!”
Baby Penguin was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly. Her ticket in the first row was already six figures.
That was not a good position.
As for the best position…
Oh god.
She quickly shook her head. This would not do.
She could not afford to pay for the ticket!
If she went to watch this concert today, she would probably have to lose two wheels on her new car next month!
“You don’t need tickets. Coincidentally, Huasheng Group is the sponsor of this concert. The other party left a few seats for me. If you don’t go, it’ll be empty. What a pity, right?”
“!”
He reached out to her, his eyes gentle. “Let’s go and watch the concert together.”
“Okay!”
Baby Penguin’s eyes curved.
Without thinking, she grabbed his outstretched hand and pulled him forward excitedly. “Where are we going to enter? The main door?”
“Don’t you need someone to deliver the tickets?”
“…”
The excitement on Nan Ge’s face was visible to the naked eye. She was a completely different person from ten minutes ago.
Shen Yanqing’s emotions were easily stirred by her. The touch on his palm was clear, delicate, and warm.
In a place where the baby penguin could not see, President Shen’s black eyes under his glasses were no longer composed. His gaze was warm and burning.
After a long while, he lowered his eyes and took a deep breath. His free hand pressed against his throbbing heart.
