289: Chapter 226: I Have A Good Figure And Wonât Embarrass You_1 289: Chapter 226: I Have A Good Figure And Wonât Embarrass You_1 At nine in the evening, Nanxi headed back to her room, with Lu Yinchu accompanying her to the door â while they previously agreed that he would stay in the guest room next door, tonight they wouldnât be sleeping together!
She blinked, they had already shared a bed for two nights!
Even though, nothing had happened!
âGo to bed first, weâre only a day apart, just do me a favor, I donât want to be alone, I hope we could go back together,â he said.
Nanxi bit her lip, speechless.
Lu Yinchu reached out and ruffled her hair.
âGood night!â
âGood night.â
As Lu Yinchu walked away, Nanxi watched his figure gradually dissolve into the corridor light, blur, fade, unreal.
Sometimes, she really wished this man was just a dream she made up!
â¦
Lu Yinchu returned to his room and stood on the balcony.
He lit a cigarette with the window half opened, letting a breeze blow in, creating a warm, cool sensation.
Amid the smoke, his eyes became misty, and his expression was unclear, but one could feel his sorrow.
His fingers tightened, and a piercing pain from his left pinky finger went straight to his heart, so painful!
Good, at least he could still feel pain!
If he could still feel pain, could his guilt be lessened a bit?
Evenâ¦
a bit?
â¦
The next morning, Nanxi got up at eight oâclock.
In reality, she dragged things out until it was late.
Last night, Lu Yinchu mentioned that he had a contract to negotiate this morning and wouldnât be back until noon!
It was only after she heard the engine of the car start that she got up and went downstairs.
It wasnât really about hiding something, she just didnât know what to say to him!
If they couldnât go back today, then tomorrow.
Itâs just one day!
Just one day, thatâs it!
If she didnât demand too much, one day was enough.
After breakfast, Nanxi said she wanted to walk around nearby.
Nanny Zhang didnât stop her, telling her if she needed a ride, just call Chen Wei.
Nanxi took Chen Weiâs number, but she didnât save it into her phone!
Nanxi stated, âIâm not going far, just around here!â
Actually, she just wanted to wander the paths she had once trod, see the views she had once seen, and revisit the rooms she had once stayed in!
As she knocked on the door of the neighboring house, she felt a bit nervous.
She knew that a young couple lived there.
The woman was pregnant and the man left for work by car every day, sometimes returning late, and sometimes early, sheâs not too sure about the rest!
The servant heard the knock and came to answer.
Seeing that it was Nanxi standing there, she paused, âWho are you?â
Nanxi smiled, âHello, I amâ¦
a neighbor, I live in the house next door!â
Telling that she was the original owner of the villa seemed to be too early, as she was just a nanny.
Whatâs more, Nanxi noticed that the nanny looked at her with some vigilance.
This was normal.
The nanny, who was new to the job, was always cautious not to upset the owners.
Nanxi might look sweet and beautiful, but who knows what she might be thinking, so the nanny had to be careful!
âWho is it at the door?â
A soft feminine voice rang out.
Nanxi looked over, the pregnant woman was slowly approaching.
Seeing this, the nanny quickly moved towards her.
âMaâam, why have you come out!â
The woman smiled, âI was just out to get some sun!â
Then, she looked toward Nanxi standing at the door, âI apologize for the delay, please come in!â
In the living room, on the sofa, the nanny brought a tea tray.
She handed Nanxi a cup, then gave one to the lady of the house, and then properly stood next to her!
âIâm sorry, Iâ¦I used to live in this house, but had to leave due to someâ¦circumstances, so I wanted to come by and see,â she explained.
âI know!â
The woman spoke up, smiled and took a sip of her tea.
Nanxi was puzzled, she knew?
Seeing her expression, the woman explained, âItâs like this, my husband and I bought this place five years ago.
When the real estate agent showed us the house, we liked it and signed the contractâ¦
since we were anxious to move in, we started renovating in a few days, at that time, I wasnât pregnant, we had time, so naturally, I would often come and supervise the renovation.
Then one day, I found a picture in the houseâ¦â
The woman pursed her lips, looking at Nanxiâs eyes, her smile gentle.
âThat was your pictureâ¦â
