Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1488 - 1477: The Cannon Fodder Big Brother in an Old-Fashioned Romance Novel
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
After going back to her room, Tan Nana sent several big red envelopes to her girlfriends, then excitedly told them the good news that she was in a relationship.
"You wouldn’t admit it before, and now you’re finally admitting it?" one of the girls teased.
"Which family is he from? Do we know him?"
"Who confessed first, you or him?"
Tan Nana’s lips stayed curved in a smile as she sweetly reported to them, "I confessed first."
The group chat went silent for a moment, then someone finally sent: "Girl, didn’t you suffer enough with Ye Yanting? How can you be the one to take the initiative?"
"Exactly, how many times have I told you, we girls have to be reserved."
Tan Nana replied, "He’s not like Ye Yanting. When are you free? He said he wants to invite you all to dinner."
"If he can take the initiative to invite us to dinner, he does seem a lot more sensible than Ye Yanting."
"Nana, from the back he looked like a super handsome guy that day. Who is he really?"
"You’ll find out when we have the dinner."
"Alright then, we’re free tomorrow. Let’s meet at Juxiang Pavilion, don’t be late."
"This time we have to properly vet him for you."
"I told you, he’s nothing like Ye Yanting at all. He treats me really well."
In high spirits, Tan Nana switched off her phone. Thinking that the man sleeping in the room next door was her boyfriend made her so excited she couldn’t sleep. Late at night, she simply started trying on outfits for tomorrow. Every time she changed into one she wasn’t satisfied, feeling like something was off. Then she wondered if she was being a bit silly, doing something so childish.
The result of being excited all night was that she overslept. She had planned to have breakfast with Ye Qiu, but when she opened the door she realized he had already gone to work. He’d sent her a message saying he’d made breakfast, and that the key was placed by the flowerpot at the door.
Following the instructions in the text message, Tan Nana found the key and opened the door. Inside, the apartment was bright and spotless, and there were several insulated containers on the table. As she slowly opened them, an enticing aroma spread out.
The breakfast was simple: a bowl of small wontons and a few soup dumplings. Tan Nana sat down and started eating. After she’d filled her belly, she didn’t clean up right away. Instead, she began wandering around the apartment.
The layout of the apartment was the same as hers, but the decor style was completely different. Before, whenever she came over for a meal she only stayed in the dining room and living room. This time, with Ye Qiu not home, she mustered up her courage and walked to the bedroom.
The bedroom contained a single simple yet elegant large bed, covered with light gray sheets, not a single wrinkle out of place. She casually opened the wardrobe and found that the clothes inside were extremely simple too: nothing but white shirts and black suits. Tan Nana instantly felt a bit dissatisfied. As her boyfriend, how could he only have these clothes? Even his pajamas were all the same style, just in two colors: gray and blue.
With nothing else to do, after tidying up the two insulated containers she headed straight to the mall. She was going to fill her boyfriend’s wardrobe, and she had to buy him all kinds of different styles.
Those cool trench coats and overcoats? Buy. Cozy knit sweaters and casual pants? Buy. When she saw the latest trendy streetwear, Tan Nana still held herself back a little because she felt Ye Qiu definitely wouldn’t wear them. Passing by the suit section, she remembered his wardrobe full of white shirts and black suits, so she bought silver-gray and wine-red shirts, as well as silver-gray and blue suits with more design details, not so traditional.
As she walked along, it was like a huge harvest for Tan Nana. She was even happier than when she bought clothes for herself. Then she hung each piece up one by one, but still wasn’t satisfied, and even made an appointment with a designer to get some custom-made for him.
Looking at the wardrobe now stuffed full of clothes, with Ye Qiu’s original ones pushed to the side, she finally nodded in satisfaction. "Now this looks like something."
Because he had agreed to have dinner with Tan Nana’s friends that evening, Ye Qiu took an early shift today so he could pick her up. He hadn’t expected that she would insist he change into another outfit.
"Aren’t they all the same?" Ye Qiu was helpless, but still followed her orders. When he saw the wardrobe full of new clothes, he finally understood why.
"You bought these?" he raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Mm." Tan Nana was in great spirits. "It’s just a meal with friends, don’t dress like you’re going to a negotiation. Wear this more casual set."
What she pulled out was a pair of khaki casual pants, a cream-colored V-neck knit sweater for the top with a white shirt underneath, and a light khaki overcoat on the outside. It was casual yet still elegant. Tan Nana had been imagining this look for a long time and urged him, "Hurry up and put it on so I can see."
"How am I supposed to change if you don’t go out?" Ye Qiu chuckled.
"You’re my boyfriend, and I still can’t look?"
"Suit yourself then." Ye Qiu didn’t mind and actually started undressing. At first, Tan Nana was still full of interest, but when she saw him unbutton his shirt and reveal that broad chest with a thin, firm layer of muscle, she couldn’t help blushing and fled in a panic.
Ye Qiu’s muffled laughter drifted into her ears, making Tan Nana even more shy. She couldn’t help doubting herself—was she really this thin-skinned?
Ye Qiu changed quickly. Before Tan Nana could even get her composure back, he had already come out. The clothes she chose fit him very well, maybe a little too well, and for a moment she was a bit dazed.
This style suited Ye Qiu perfectly. He was naturally gentle and accommodating, and in these clothes he looked even more like a Republican-era young master who’d just walked out of a TV drama. Tan Nana almost couldn’t bear to take this version of him out to show people.
But since she’d picked the style herself, she felt proud that he looked so good in it. Most importantly, she was wearing the same color palette today: a cream-colored turtleneck sweater with a khaki trench coat. Walking together, they basically looked like they were in matching couple outfits.
"Let’s go." She sweetly hooked her arm through Ye Qiu’s. The flush on her face—who knew whether it was blush she’d applied or just a natural blush of shyness.
Tan Nana’s friends were already waiting in the private room at the restaurant. Seeing this handsome man and beautiful woman walk in together, they almost didn’t recognize the pair. First, because Tan Nana’s style today was completely different from usual; and second, because Ye Qiu, who always wore black suits, had changed his look and it was honestly stunning. Most unbelievable of all, they never expected Tan Nana’s new boyfriend to be him!
How could it be Ye Qiu? He was Ye Yanting’s biological older brother!
The girls exchanged looks, their eyes simultaneously filling with worry. They wondered if Tan Nana was doing this on purpose as revenge.
It wasn’t really their fault for thinking that way, because based on Tan Nana’s usual personality, that was exactly something she might do. How could she let that scumbag Ye Yanting off so easily? Was she trying to play out one of those melodramatic plots from a novel or TV drama? "If you won’t marry me, then I’ll become your elder sister-in-law"?
