Nanxi felt that under the influence of her parents, her view of life and values hadn’t strayed too far off the path.
But she always felt as though she lacked some direction, so she would often feel helpless and bewildered about the future. This feeling was especially strong when she was with Li Weihuan!
Nanxi had a lot to learn about this world, things she needed to slowly understand, learn to accept, and understand.
Lu Yinchu was ten years older than her, so the world he understood was different from hers, he communicated everything to her without holding back, and she, not an ignorant child, was able to discern useful information for herself.
For example, she knew that what he was telling her now is: money was always an extrinsic entity, yet it was indispensable. In his heart, many things were more important than money, such as family, and...herself!
The next morning at work, the news that Nanxi had a handsome and gentle husband spread throughout her department quickly, and Nanxi became somewhat of a minor celebrity. She could always hear the whispers and discussions wherever she went!
Nanxi let out a breath, her head aching a little, but she didn’t know how to avoid the situation. Fortunately, Lu Yinchu didn’t know!
Otherwise, wouldn’t his anger from yesterday, which had finally subdued, flare up again today!
Returning to her seat, the colleagues who passed by all greeted her warmly!
Today Han Baobao came to work. Although she arrived a bit late, at least she showed up!
Han Baobao said that she didn’t want to come but her brother insisted that she did, not allowing her to resign! He demanded her to work a full month!
Han Baobao said, "Why do I need to work a full month? My current job is just odd jobs, the monthly wage isn’t even enough to buy half a shoe for me. Why on earth would I endure another ten days here... I truly can’t stand it even for another day!"
Nanxi wanted to tell her, even if you want to buy, would anyone be willing to sell you half a shoe?!
At lunch, Han Baobao looked Nanxi up and down as she ate. Feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, Nanxi cleared her throat and asked her, "What are you looking at?"
"Nanxi, are you pregnant?"
"Cough, cough, cough...." Nanxi choked at Han Baobao’s words.
Picking up her water glass and taking a sip, she finally caught her breath after a while, "Who...who’s pregnant!"
"Not pregnant? If you’re not pregnant, how come your marriage has been revealed! Many people even said they saw Lu Yinchu’s photo, too handsome to behold!"
When Han Baobao initially heard this news, she too was stunned. Her brother had adamantly instructed her not to leak this news, or else he would strip her of all her "assets" and allowance. Helpless, Han Baobao had to bow under her brother’s tyranny!
But unexpectedly, everyone at the company already knew about Nanxi’s marriage, and had even seen a photo of her husband, Lu Yinchu!
Han Baobao was previously pondering how this could have happened? Everyone was helping to keep it a secret, and her brother, an outsider, was being all nervous for nothing!
In the end, she came to a conclusion: Nanxi must be pregnant!
Because of the pregnancy, she wanted to legitimize this marriage, perhaps as a motherly love for her unborn child, and of course, as a thorough way to tie down Lu Yinchu!
You have to know, that is Lu Yinchu, a man coveted by many who can’t get close to him!
Over on Nanxi’s side, she finally caught her breath and told Han Baobao, "Baobao, this is all a misunderstanding!"
Han Baobao blinked, failing to comprehend!
Nanxi roughly explained the situation to Han Baobao, who became angry after listening to her.
"Nanxi, it’s enough that you have Lu Yinchu, why did you have to drag Li Weihuan down with you? Didn’t I tell you I want to pursue Li Weihuan?"
"Anyway, I don’t care how you do it but you must explain to our colleagues that the person in the photo on the phone isn’t your husband. Otherwise, if I end up with Li Weihuan, colleagues might think I stole your husband, then what would that make of me...?"
Han Baobao’s anger persisted until the end of lunch.
Nanxi’s appetite was virtually ruined, but at that moment, someone came to rescue her!
It was Han Baobao’s brother, Han Shaojing!
Han Baobao and Nanxi were both escorted to Lu Yinchu’s office on the top floor. In the office, Han Shaojing and Lu Yinchu sat opposite each other, leisurely puffing away on their cigarettes.
