Suddenly, he found himself smitten!
They had been seeing each other for a while, but the intimate contact wasn’t much!
Liang Qiaoqiao seemed more resistant to that kind of interaction, and being a fitness trainer, if she didn’t want it, Chen Juncai really had no way to force it!
If it were any other girl, Chen Juncai would probably have given up long ago. But he likes Liang Qiaoqiao, the first woman who touched his heart, and he doesn’t want to let go of her hand that easily!
He chose to protect her, hoping that one day her ambitious mindset could let up a little, and then turn to see him waiting there for her all along!
He doesn’t consider himself foolish. After all, whom can he blame for having fallen for such a woman? So no matter how foolish it seems, he is willing to endure it, to bear it!
One morning, he went to pick her up for work. On the way, he thought about bringing up the subject of marriage, but then Liang Qiaoqiao received a phone call!
It was from Nanxi. Listening to the comforting words Liang Qiaoqiao was saying on the phone, he learned that Nanxi was getting married, to a man named Lu Yinchu!
He was rather surprised, seeing as Lu Yinchu’s name was well known in H City, and Nanxi? That little girl?
Chen Juncai felt somewhat dazed for a moment, almost unable to believe it!
After she hung up the phone, Chen Juncai noticed Liang Qiaoqiao rubbing her brow. Probably, she regretted discussing such things in front of him!
After clearing his throat, he said, "Don’t worry, I won’t blow the whistle. Our Company is partnering with Mr. Lu’s, and I really can’t afford to ruin my own source of livelihood!"
Liang Qiaoqiao pondered for a while, then nodded, "Thank you!"
Because he knew that Nanxi had formally registered her marriage with Lu Yinchu, when Chen Juncai once again brought up his intention to get engaged to Liang Qiaoqiao, he unintentionally let the cat out of the bag!
Liang Youquan didn’t understand what Chen meant, and seeing that it couldn’t be hidden anymore, Liang Qiaoqiao pulled her dad into the bedroom and explained everything!
Only then did Liang Youquan make the call to Nanxi!
In reality, Liang Youquan’s impression of Lu Yinchu was rather favorable, but he had two main concerns:
Firstly, Lu Yinchu was already thirty-two, ten years older than Nanxi – a gap he found hard to come to terms with all of a sudden!
Secondly, although Lu Yinchu and Nanxi had married, it was a secret marriage!
A man like Lu Yinchu, with power, status and excellent character, was a highly respected individual!
Nanxi was young and impulsive, ignorant of the world. If they ended up getting a divorce silently and unceremoniously, Lu Yinchu would still continue to shine brightly in public. But for Nanxi, the situation would be different!
As her uncle, he was naturally worried. Without getting a clear answer, he couldn’t rest easy!
On the other end, Nanxi was trying hard to reassure him, taking all the responsibility onto herself. Hearing her, Liang Youquan felt both heartbroken and helpless. This silly girl, she has truly fallen for that man!
But then again, it’s not surprising. Given Mr. Lu’s exceptional temperament, good looks and character, her liking for him was only natural!
Liang Youquan could not say much, after giving a few reminders, he hung up!
Nanxi sighed in relief!
Xia Zhen quickly returned to the living room, her emotions fluctuating wildly.
From bits of what Nanxi just said, it seemed her son and Nanxi had registered their marriage, but her son had never mentioned it to her!
As a mother, she naturally felt uneasy!
But at the same time, she believed her son wouldn’t do such a thing without good reason!
Xia Zhen didn’t stay long, she asked Aunt Qiu to do a few things and then left!
As soon as she stepped out of Shuicheng Residential District, she called her son Lu Yinchu!
Unfortunately, it was Mo Yan who answered the phone, informing her that Lu Yinchu was currently in a meeting!
Xia Zhen took a deep breath and said, "Tell Yinchu to call me back when he has time!"
Mo Yan had a nagging feeling that something was up but didn’t ask further, he simply nodded, "Alright, madame!"
Xia Zhen arrived home in a state of distress. After taking care of the old man and arranging for her daughter, it wasn’t until lunch had been served and the old man was put down for a nap that her son’s call came!
Xia Zhen returned to her room and closed the door before answering the call!
"Mom, Mo Yan told me you called this morning. What’s going on?"
"What’s going on? You tell me what’s going on! Yinchu, let me ask you, did you and Nanxi already get your marriage license?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Xia Zhen didn’t rush, she waited for her son’s explanation!
