She really wanted to say these words to Xu Nancheng. However, for Xu Nancheng at this moment, it was still too early to say such things. Given their current relationship, they had not yet reached that level of intimacy. She had been holding back, not telling Xu Nancheng. If he found out now, she would be utterly embarrassed.
Although she usually appeared cheerful, she was still just a young girl. There was no atmosphere for such words to be casually spoken. Xu Nancheng had certainly heard her, and he understood clearly, but when he looked at Lin Menghan beside him, who was fidgeting awkwardly, he decided to speak up. “What strange thing are you talking about? I didn’t hear anything!”
“Lin Menghan, did you dream about something?”
“No, no! Absolutely not!”
Seeing her flustered and shaking her head vigorously, many people around turned their attention toward them. Xu Nancheng stood there in shock; as he noticed the gazes directed at them, he felt trapped and unable to speak.
Fortunately, at that moment, the vehicle came to a stop, and everyone was getting off without paying much attention anymore. Xu Nancheng also pulled Lin Menghan out of the car. Just as he stepped out of the station, he paused and looked at Lin Menghan. “Lin Menghan! Do you want to buy a phone?”
“Oh, that’s really expensive. Never mind!” She indeed wanted a phone. Having one would make life in modern society much more convenient, but she felt it wasn’t right to spend her uncle and aunt's money.
Seeing her conflicted expression, Xu Nancheng understood her thoughts. She really wanted a phone but didn’t want to spend her relatives' money. The allowance she received was just enough for her basic living expenses.
“You don’t need to worry about money! We’re family!”
“I’ll just call my mom!” He took out his phone and dialed.
Just as his hand reached halfway, the phone began ringing with a series of beeps.
“Hello!” The call connected quickly.
“Mom, can you send me some money?”
"How much? I'm still working on it! Just give me over two thousand."
"You little rascal! Are you asking for a fortune? Money doesn't just fall from the sky, you know! My family is quite ordinary, not the kind that throws around a million just because you want to take my daughter away."
"It's just Xu Fu and Xu Qi making money, barely scraping by with a few thousand."
"The reason we bought a house on the outskirts of the city is that it's cheap."
"Listen to me, I just want to buy Lin Menghan a phone. I won't waste money."
"Why didn't you say so earlier! I'll transfer three thousand to you later! Get her a decent one and take good care of Lin Menghan!"
"Three thousand is already her earnings for over ten days."
"That's settled then! Bye!"
Lin Menghan was listening on the side and couldn't help but laugh. She started to wonder if she was actually the beloved daughter of her uncle and aunt, while Xu Nancheng was just someone who topped up her phone.
Xu Nancheng looked equally troubled, wondering how the gap could be so vast! Lin Menghan had only been living in their home for a day!
Still laughing, Lin Menghan glanced at Xu Nancheng and noticed his sorrowful gaze fixed on her. She quickly composed herself.
"Okay, okay, Nancheng, don't be mad! Come here! Let me give your shoulders a little massage!"
Saying this, she raised her hand and squeezed Xu Nancheng's shoulder.
"Don't say it! That feels great!"
Indeed, Xu Nancheng had been supporting Lin Menghan for so long; he was quite tired.
They continued like this, one walking ahead enjoying the massage while the other followed behind giving the massage.
"Are we done? Nancheng, don't be angry!" Lin Menghan said with a laugh.
"No! I'm not angry!" Xu Nancheng turned his head away.
"Then what was with that sorrowful look just now?" Lin Menghan stopped massaging and walked beside Xu Nancheng, their eyes meeting.
"No! It's nothing! It's just fun!" He was quite stubborn.
"Then look at me when you talk!" Lin Menghan circled around Xu Nancheng.
The two chatted casually as they made their way to the mobile phone store. After browsing for a while, they finally chose a top-of-the-line phone, along with a SIM card. Just then, Lin Zhen sent a transfer.
After making the payment, they stepped outside. Lin Menghan set up some commonly used apps and eagerly registered for Green Bubble, her movements smooth and practiced.
"Ah, Lin Menghan! I thought you didn't have a phone and wouldn't know how to use it," Xu Nancheng remarked, watching her with curiosity. Her skills were impressive; there was no hesitation in her actions, which puzzled Xu Nancheng. After all, she had been in an orphanage—she shouldn't have had much experience with phones!
"Who do you look down on?" Lin Menghan replied, her tone slightly displeased.
"Isn't it true? You’ve never used one before, right?" Xu Nancheng continued to probe, pushing his luck.
"No! I’ve been through it all!" Lin Menghan rolled her eyes.
"What are you talking about, you smelly Nancheng! I'm getting angry! Hmph!" She turned her head away and walked off on her own, not sparing him a glance, moving decisively and resolutely.
