This morning, Nanxi’s work went smoothly. Han Baobao didn’t come to work today, apparently she took a leave!
Nanxi didn’t know why she asked for leave. She remembered that last week Han Baobao mentioned she was planning to quit her job!
But it also seemed like she said that she wanted to pursue Li Weihuan!
Thinking about this, Nanxi instantly didn’t feel so good and was a bit worried!
While on a restroom break, she surreptitiously called Bai Yuchuan to ask if Li Weihuan was with him. Bai Yuchuan frowned, "What’s up? Anything wrong?"
Nanxi didn’t know how to talk to Bai Yuchuan about it but as Li Weihuan’s best friend, Bai Yuchuan was undoubtedly the most reliable person if she wanted to stop Han Baobao!
"The thing is..." So she told Bai Yuchuan about Han Baobao’s plans to pursue Li Weihuan.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuchuan tugged at the corner of his lips in a frivolous tone, "Just this matter?"
"I..." Nanxi didn’t know what to say!
"Nanxi, you wouldn’t be..."
"No..." seeming to realize what Bai Yuchuan was going to say, Nanxi immediately rebutted, "Xiaobai, it’s not like that, my feelings towards Weihuan are just of a friend, a good friend..."
"But his feelings towards you are not..." Bai Yuchuan’s voice turned a bit cold.
"Nanxi, you already have your own happiness now. Naturally, no one can really explain love. There’s no right or wrong, so no one blames you. But Weihuan’s feelings for you in his heart have never truly been let go...he has not let go, but pretends as if he has. You might not see the torment in his heart, but I can..."
Nanxi blinked, momentarily not knowing what to say...
"Nanxi, just give Weihuan a way out, as well as yourself. In the future, don’t meddle in Weihuan’s affairs. This won’t just be unfair to Weihuan, but also unfair to the person beside you. Sometimes the gentler the thing, the more harmful it can be. Please decisively let him go before he completely gives up on you, that’s the only way for him to let go of himself...That’s all I have to say. It’s up to you how you want to proceed! I gotta go now, bye!"
With that, Bai Yuchuan hung up the call.
Nanxi held her phone, a bit lost. She took a deep breath to digest Bai Yuchuan’s words, feeling like she’s on the verge of making another mistake!
Nanxi returned to work, her face looking drained and quite different from her radiant self in the morning. When her colleagues asked what’s wrong, she shook her head and said nothing!
This went on until lunch time. Nanxi was supposed to go to the canteen with her colleagues, but she received a call from Xia Zhen halfway!
Xia Zhen said that he had asked Uncle Zhang to bring her lunch and tonic soup, which should arrive in a few minutes. He also mentioned that he ordered a double portion for her to share with Lu Yinchu!
When she hung up, Nanxi was still a bit stunned. A colleague asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Nanxi?"
"Huh?" Nanxi came back to her senses and shook her head, "I’m fine!"
"If there’s nothing wrong, let’s go, we might not get a seat if we’re late..."
"Actually, my mother-in-law just called and said she is bringing lunch for me, so I..."
"Mother-in-law, are you married?" The colleague was so surprised they were practically slack-jawed!
Nanxi was also taken aback for a moment before realizing she had said the wrong thing!
But they only knew she was married, they didn’t know she was married to Lu Yinchu!
Thinking about this, she finally calmed down and laughed at her colleague, "Yes, I am...married!"
"What? Nanxi, you’re married? Really?!" A colleague who was heading to the canteen overheard the gossip and immediately joined the conversation!
The colleague from before also chimed in, "Yeah, Nanxi, aren’t you only 22 and just graduated?!"
"I... I got married right after graduation, haha!" Nanxi laughed helplessly!
"But you’re not wearing a wedding ring. Unless you show us your wedding photo, we won’t believe!"
"I don’t have his photo!" Nanxi was embarrassed,
"No? That’s not possible! Where is your phone? Let us see!"
"Exactly, bring out your phone, Nanxi, don’t keep things from us..."
"Looks like we need to take it upon ourselves!"
"Hey, don’t..." Nanxi’s words were cut off. Two hands reached out towards her at the same time, causing her to take an involuntary step back, "I really don’t have the pictures... I’m not lying to you guys..."
