Eventually, it was Lu Yinchu who broke the silence first.
He called out, “Nanxi!”
His voice was soft and magnetic, with a hint of suppressed trembling.
Struck dumb for a moment, Nanxi quickly reached up to wipe away the tear that had gathered at the corner of her eye, and politely greeted him, “Mr.
“Hmm.” Lu Yinchu’s expression was neutral, but his gaze stayed fixated on her face.
He sighed slightly, “What’s wrong?
“Ah!” Nanxi embarrassedly reached up to rub her eyes, but her hand was snatched mid-motion by the man.
“…” Nanxi froze, looking at him incredulously.
Lu Yinchu’s thin lips moved, “Don’t use your hand to wipe your eyes.
After saying this, he presented a neatly folded blue handkerchief with a golden lace border in front of her, much like the last time…
Nanxi blushed slightly, thanked him for the handkerchief and carefully retracted her hand that he was still holding.
Then, bowing her head slightly, she wiped her eyes.
Recalling something, Nanxi asked, “Mr.
Lu, what brings you here?”
“I was seeing off a friend.
I saw you from afar and thought I should come over and say hello!”
Nanxi let out a breath of relief.
Good thing he had just caught sight of her.
If he had noticed her earlier, then her intimate moment with Li Weihuan in the terminal would have been noticed…
“There’s a café upstairs, let’s sit there for a bit,” Lu Yinchu suggested.
As Nanxi was about to refuse, Lu Yinchu reached out to guide her, “Let’s go!”
The ambience of the airport’s café was somewhat different from one’s typically found.
At least the view outside the window was unique.
Nanxi’s gaze landed on the wide open airfield where a plane had just taken off, carrying away the man she loved!
Only when two cups of coffee were set down in front of them, did Nanxi realize that she had ignored the person sitting across her.
She turned her gaze towards him with a slight apologetic smile on her face.
Not that Lu Yinchu seemed to mind much.
He sat there with a composed aura, his striking features slightly cold.
But his shallow smile made his overall demeanor appear gentle and handsome.
This man was simply irresistible!
“Is the person you bid farewell to today very important to you?” Lu Yinchu asked her.
Nanxi’s face flushed but acknowledged by nodding her head.
“In life, it’s inevitable to experience joy and sorrow, and parting.
The reassuring thing is that there’s always a chance to reunite.
Such emotions nestled deep in your heart cannot be blocked…
even if you are worlds apart.
So, don’t feel sad,” Lu Yinchu replied.
trying to comfort her?
Clearing her throat, Nanxi didn’t want to let her sadness affect a completely unrelated person, so she changed the subject, “Mr.
Lu, who did you bid farewell to today?”
Not seeing Mo Yan, Nanxi thought, anyone who could personally receive a send-off from Lu Yinchu must be an important person!
Right on cue, Lu Yinchu replied with a faint smile.
His eyes curved like crescents, dark as the night, bewitching.
Nanxi lowered her head, pretending to drink coffee, so as not to be melted by his magnetic gaze.
The man’s voice lingered, “He is someone…
very important to me too…”
After he finished speaking, Lu Yinchu’s brows lifted, a charming curve forming on his beautiful lips, “Nanxi, don’t you think…
we have some kind of fate?”
Nanxi was taken aback once again.
But thinking about it, indeed, it seemed likely.
H City is quite a large city and Lu Yinchu is a household name.
But Nanxi is just an unknown.
The probability of their paths crossing was close to zero.
Despite that in the past two months, they had unexpectedly met on numerous occasions.
Nanxi had once doubted that she was running into Lu Yinchu too often.
But after considering all the clues, she could not find any suspicious points.
If she had to find an explanation, then the only reason could be…
that they were really fated!
Nanxi’s grip on the coffee cup tightened involuntarily.
The notion of fate was whimsical.
She was thankful for each encounter and connection granted by fate, but if that encounter involved Lu Yinchu, she was filled with trepidation.
When she left the café, it was bright and sunny outside.
The sunlight turned her cheeks a warm shade of red.
Nanxi raised a hand to shield her face, squinting her eyes towards the distant bus stop.
She was contemplating how to politely decline Lu Yinchu’s offer to accompany her.
What she didn’t realize was that a few paces away, a man was calmly walking towards her.
His gait steady, lips pressed into a thin line yet his eyes were filled with suppressed soft smiles as he looked at her slim silhouette.
Her slender figure, seemingly delicate like a willow leaf in the wind, had somehow managed to leave a deep impact on a certain man’s heart.
The man gently called out her name.
His voice didn’t carry any hint of unfamiliarity, as if he had called her name countless times before.
Nanxi paused and turned around, her eyes flashing with surprise: Yes, he had indeed used her given name since the first time they met…
Considering their degree of familiarity, calling her by her first name was indeed inappropriate…
Nanxi opened her mouth.
Lu Yinchu had just excused himself to use the restroom, and her words of farewell were stuck in her throat.
Out of politeness, she decided to wait for him outside.
Now, it was time for her to bid him goodbye.
The excuse she had prepared…
Lu, the thing is, I…”
The abrupt sound of a phone ring interrupted Nanxi’s words——
Excuse me, I need to take this call.”
After uttering these words politely, Lu Yinchu turned and walked off to answer his call.
Nanxi frowned and continued to wait…
Lu Yinchu’s call lasted a considerably long time, or at least it felt long to Nanxi.
Probably about two minutes…
When he returned, there was a aloofness in his expression.
Dressed in a white shirt and black pants, his tall figure approaching her made Nanxi want to run.
His long, delicate fingers slipped his phone back into his pocket.
Turning towards Nanxi, he apologized, “I’m sorry, Nanxi.
Something cropped up at the office, I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany you back.”
Unable to accompany her?
Cough…that worked perfectly in Nanxi’s favor…
Nanxi hurriedly replied with a smile, “That’s alright, Mr.
You should attend to your work.
I’ll get going, goodbye!”
She had barely taken a few steps when she turned back, curtsied politely to him and said, “Mr.
Lu, thank you for the coffee!
“We will meet again!”
Lu Yinchu replied with a faint curve in his eyes and a soft laugh.
