Nanxi furrowed her brows, "He did nothing wrong, and besides, you don’t know him, you don’t understand him, you shouldn’t speak of him like that!"
Lu Yinchu’s eyes flickered, he fastened his seatbelt, stepped on the accelerator, and the car started.
Nanxi felt that perhaps her words had upset him, but his emotions seemed too volatile. It seemed like she hadn’t said much, and besides, shouldn’t she be the one who’s angry?
The car quickly arrived at the villa. When it was time to get off, Nanxi did not move. Lu Yinchu reached out to pull her, "Don’t worry, I’ve sent Shiyi to a friend’s place. He’s not here today!"
Nanxi was baffled, her not getting out of the car had nothing to do with this, okay?!
"And I won’t do anything to you. Even if I had such an impulse, I would have to wait until your body recovers!" He said with a smirk, arching his eyebrows.
Nanxi watched him, a strange emotion bubbling up within her. He was smiling again; that meant he wasn’t angry anymore, right?
But that didn’t mean her anger had dissipated!
Nanxi got out of the car, and when Lu Yinchu reached out to her, she refused, "I can walk by myself. I’m a contamination risk now, it’s better if you stay away from me!"
Lu Yinchu did not insist and strode ahead, Nanxi stuck out her tongue and followed him.
In the living room, as expected, there was no sight of the cat named Shiyi. Actually, Nanxi hadn’t told Lu Yinchu that the cat looked just like one she’d once had!
Unfortunately, her cat went missing the night she and her parents had to leave home six years ago.
Six years later, whether it was still alive was now a question.
Lu Yinchu led her to a guest room on the second floor. He told her to take a nap first and find him in the study at the end of the corridor when she woke up...
Nanxi nodded, Lu Yinchu stepped forward, holding her for a moment, and whispered in her ear, "Go to sleep. Don’t overthink, just rest."
During Nanxi’s moment of bewilderment, a gentle kiss was pressed against her forehead, which retreated just as she was frowning to resist.
Lu Yinchu smiled and left.
Without any hesitation.
As the room door closed, Nanxi had a dreamlike feeling.
She took a deep breath, turned to look at this room. No doubt, the room was spacious, well decorated, with a girlish charm about it, like a woman’s room...
Or perhaps, this was a woman’s room!
Who was this room prepared for? Or perhaps, had someone lived here before?
Nanxi remembered the last time she called Lu Yinchu, a woman picked it up, even seeming to be quite intimate...She had called Lu Yinchu..."Yinchu"...
Who was that woman? And, what was her relationship with Lu Yinchu?
She recalled the scene of Han Qing blocking Lu Yinchu’s car that day...Was it Han Qing?
But, the voice didn’t match! Then, who was it?
Speaking of Han Qing, what relationship does she share with Lu Yinchu? Why does she feel that there’s more than meets the eye?
Nanxi was so fast asleep that she didn’t hear her phone vibrating in her bag for a long while.
But that call seemed particularly persistent. Finally, it succeeded in waking Nanxi up.
Nanxi picked it up and answered. As she said "Hello," Yang Su’s anxious voice came from the other end, "Nanxi, where are you?"
Nanxi bit her lip, not knowing how to answer. Should she say she was at Lu Yinchu’s place? Obviously, she couldn’t!
Nanxi switched the topic and asked her, "What’s happened? Is there a problem?"
Yang Su said, "No, it’s just that Li Weihuan has called several times. He said he went to your company to pick you up but couldn’t find you. He couldn’t reach your phone, so he ended up calling me. I told him you were feeling unwell and left... But don’t worry, I just told him it was your time of the month... So he wasn’t as anxious about finding you...."
"Cough cough...." Nanxi found it hard to bear, her monthly period? That was Yang Su’s imaginative excuse!
However, she was grateful to Yang Su deep inside, "Thank you, Susu."
"What are you thanking me for, what’s our relationship?" Yang Su asked her, "So where are you now, are you with him?"
Nanxi frowned, remembering that Lu Yinchu had found out about her cold because of something Yang Su had said. She asked her, "Susu, do you think Lu Yinchu is...good?"
"...." Yang Su seemed a bit surprised. She cleared her throat and said, "No, Nanxi, that... I really didn’t do it on purpose. I wanted to tell Li Weihuan. But Li Weihuan isn’t someone who can solve problems. So I had to tell the person who could...."
