Lu Yinchu didn’t arrive at the Liang Family’s ho to pick up Nanxi until almost nine in the evening.
At that ti, the old lady was about to sleep, but when she saw Lu Yinchu, she insisted on having a talk with him for half an hour before Xu i and Nanxi helped her upstairs!
In the living room downstairs, only Liang Youquan and Lu Yinchu were left!
Liang Youquan personally made so tea and handed it to Lu Yinchu, who promptly stood to receive it, saying, "Uncle, you are being too ceremonious!"
"As long as it pleases, it’s not considered being over-formal!" Liang Youquan laughed and casually told him, "Sit down."
"Hmm!" Lu Yinchu nodded and took a seat.
Liang Youquan took a sip from his teacup and inquired about Lu Yinchu’s recent work and his father’s health. Lu Yinchu replied to each of his questions, knowing that these were not the main topics Liang Youquan wanted to talk about.
"Yinchu, have you and Nanxi been having any issues lately?" Liang Youquan asked.
Lu Yinchu’s eyes flickered at the question. Upon hearing Liang Youquan continue, "Today when Nanxi ca ho, I noticed that she seed worried. She is never a particularly talkative person in front of and her grandmother. If sothing is bothering her, she doesn’t tell us. We want to ask, but can’t, so, I thought of asking you!"
...
When Nanxi ca downstairs, only Lu Yinchu was left. Surprised, she asked as she ca down the stairs, "Where is Uncle?"
"He went upstairs earlier, didn’t you see?"
Nanxi was stunned, shook her head, "No!"
"Hmm!" Lu Yinchu stood up, reached out his hand to pull her over, and asked, "What did you tell your grandmother? Why did you take so long?"
"Uh..."
Nanxi’s eyes flickered as she thought about what her grandmother had asked her earlier while lying on the bed.
"Darling, you and Yinchu have been married for a while now, when do you plan to have a child?"
For this, grandma had to persuade her for a good amount of ti, saying, Lu Yinchu, at thirty-two, is not as young as her, at just twenty-two. The Lu Family is a very good one, and she shouldn’t be too stubborn and hurt her in-laws and her grandfather...
Nanxi bit her lip and sat down next to him, "Nothing much, just so trivial talk! By the way, what were you and Uncle talking about downstairs?"
Earlier when she was going upstairs, she had seen Lu Yinchu and her Uncle sitting in the living room chatting. They must have discussed many things!
Lu Yinchu chuckled, took her hand, and his broad, warm palm gave Nanxi a feeling of security.
"Your uncle said that you’re not in a very good mood, and he asked to be more understanding and to talk things over with you."
"Huh?" Nanxi was taken aback. Uncle actually said that? No way!
"What’s the matter?" Lu Yinchu lifted her hand to his lips and gave it a kiss before asking, "Why are you upset?"
"I am not!" Nanxi tried to pull her hand back, "Uncle was just kidding, he just wants you to take more care of !"
"Hmm, Nanxi, promise that if sothing is bothering you, don’t bottle it up. You must tell !"
Nanxi’s eyes flickered and she nodded at Lu Yinchu, "Okay!"
"Now, can you tell ?"
"Huh?" Nanxi was stunned, then shook her head, "But, I have nothing to tell you!"
Lu Yinchu’s dark eyes bore into her, "Are you sure?"
"...I am sure!"
The two of them didn’t stay at the Liang’s house for long. At ten o’clock, they said their goodbyes to Liang Youquan and Xu i and returned to the Shuicheng Residential District.
On the way, Lu Yinchu stubbornly held Nanxi’s hand in his the entire ti, his thin lips tightly pressed together, not saying a word.
The mood felt cold and staticky!
Nanxi began to speculate, had she overthought? Why did she feel like Lu Yinchu was angry?
...
On Monday, Nanxi returned to work and was coughing non-stop — she had caught a cold!
Last night, it had rained and they had forgotten to close the window. Lu Yinchu had co back late from entertaining guests. Seeing her, he was frightened and scolded her harshly. Afterwards, he brewed so ginger soup and forced her to drink it. Sadly, her body couldn’t hold up, and she realized she wasn’t well when she went to work the next morning. She must have caught a chill!
Liao Feifei bought so dicine for her. After taking it, she felt a little better, but still coughed during work. Liao Feifei suggested, "Why don’t you go ho and rest first? Anyway, there’s not much work left. I can handle it by myself!"
Nanxi wanted to decline, but before she could even speak, she was caught in a fit of coughing. She felt that if she continued to cough like this, not only would it affect her work, but it would also affect Liao Feifei, thus she could only agree to leave.
Outside the Magazine Agency, the weather had not completely cleared up yet, and the ground was still a bit damp. The wind that ca was slightly chilly.
More than half of September had gone by. Ti was quietly flowing, and she wondered how much of what destiny had given her, and what she had fought for, had remained.
Particularly when it ca to Lu Yinchu!
There were so many people and cars passing by on the streets. Everyone walked past her, but they were all unrelated to her.
She knew that even if she travelled the whole world, she would never find another Lu Yinchu!
But, it seed like this was exactly the reason why she felt powerless.
Like when she woke up in the middle of the night one day to find herself in Lu Yinchu’s arms. The man’s shallow breath was above her head, and the scent of him was in her nostrils...
It was such a tangible and complete protection, but she still felt, so unreal!
Lu Yinchu seed to be a man who had stepped out of a fairy tale, whereas she, she was living in reality!
...
KING Group.
Lu Yinchu ca out of the conference room, saw the secretary at the door, his eyebrows furrowing slightly, "What is it?"
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Chang has arrived and has been waiting in your office for quite so ti!"
Lu Yinchu responded with a nod, handing the file in his hand to the secretary, "Send this to the Publicity Departnt, and have soone bring a cup of coffee here!"
The secretary nodded, "Yes, Mr. Lu!"
In the office, Chang Linsheng had already smoked three cigarettes in succession, and the office secretary had changed his coffee three tis.
Fearing that Chang Linsheng was getting anxious, she asked if she should go and hurry them up, but Chang Linsheng smiled lightly, "No need!"
The secretary blushed. This man was indeed quite gentle and cultured when he smiled; but looking at his expression, he didn’t seem particularly anxious!
When Lu Yinchu entered, he looked at Chang Linsheng and his thin lips curled slightly, "Finally stopped hiding!"
Chang Linsheng smiled, "I wasn’t hiding, I just wanted to give myself so ti to think!"
"So now, have you thought it through?"
Lu Yinchu walked over to Chang Linsheng and sat down.
The secretary brought Lu Yinchu his black coffee, glanced at Chang Linsheng before leaving, and blushed slightly!
Once the secretary left, Chang Linsheng raised an eyebrow, a look of helplessness on his face, "Oops, Yinchu, your little secretary has taken a liking to !"
Lu Yinchu took a sip from his black coffee, lifted his head to look at him, "Oh? Do you need to introduce her to you?"
Cough! Chang Linsheng choked on his smoke and shook his head, "No need. The heart goes where it wants and the body follows. I’m going to sort out my own issues first!"
"Do tell!"
A playful look flashed across Lu Yinchu’s face as he looked at him.
Chang Linsheng blew out a ring of smoke, his expression deep and serious, "I plan to divorce, and I need your help!"
