485: Chapter 331: I love you, because you are Gu Nanxi!_2 485: Chapter 331: I love you, because you are Gu Nanxi!_2 âNo one would believe you!â a colleague laughs.
Both of them scramble to take Nanxiâs slender figure under control and fish out her cell phoneâ¦
At that moment, Nanxi feels relieved not to have any pictures of Lu Yinchu in her cell phoneâ¦
Close call!
Self-awareness really pays off!
~~~^_^~~~
But thenâ¦
Colleague A: Wow, Nanxi, your husband is so young and handsome!
Colleague B: Nanxi, is your husband a model?
What a great figure!
He seems pretty nice~
Colleague A: No wonder Nanxi got married early.
I would pounce the minute I meet such a handsome young guy tooâ¦
Colleague B: Nanxi is so lucky.
We are all envious~~
Nanxi: ââ¦â
She immediately snatches her cell phone back.
As she sees the photo of a young, radiant man in her album, a series of âbing bang boomâ sound echoes in her earsâ¦
Somethingâ¦just broke!
âEveryone, actually thatâs notâ¦â
âAh ah ah, Nanxi, no need to justify, full of this young handsome manâs pictures in your phone!
âLook at how nervous Nanxi is, donât worry, we wonât steal him from you!â
âExactly, weâre just appreciating!
Donât be so stingy!â
âNanxi is so lucky to have such a good-looking husband!â
âOh my, he is so handsome!â
ââ¦â Nanxi.
-_-III Back when Li Weihuan was in the United States, he would often send photos to Nanxi, who then stored them on her phone.
Mostly because she wasnât a mobile enthusiast, she hardly used her phone and forgot about it!
But who knew these photos would cause a big misunderstanding one day!
If there were an overly dramatic and sentimental line to describe this moment: At this point, words are pale!
Explanation will only make things worse!
-_-#
â¦
As Nanxi steps out of the KING Group building, Housekeeper Zhang is waiting nearby with a food box.
Nanxi hurries over, takes the food box from him, and thanks him.
Zhang chuckles, âOh, Young Madam, donât mention it!â He then reminds her, âYoung Madam, the lady of the house instructed me to tell you, you must finish drinking the tonic soup.
Itâs good for your health.
She says youâre too frail!â
âI got it, Uncle Zhang!â
After bidding goodbye to Zhang, Nanxi calls Lu Yinchu while walking back.
The phone rings several times before itâs answered.
Lu Yinchu asks, âWhatâs up?â
Indistinctly, she could hear the sound of papers rustling.
He must be busy!
âUm, well, Mom asked Uncle Zhang to bring lunchâ¦for the two of usâ¦â
Nanxi feels her face grow a bit hot, sheâs not sure if itâs because of the sun, or because ofâ¦Lu Yinchuâ¦
âHmm!
Head straight to the elevator, go to the 31st floor, look for Secretary Li!â
âHuh?
Straight there?â Nanxi blinks, is that okay?
âGo straight to Secretary Li, hurry up, Iâm hungry!â
ââ¦..â Left with no choice, Nanxi obediently obeys, takes the elevator, finds Secretary Li, all the while carryingâ¦the food box!
As soon as Nanxi steps out of the elevator, a young woman is waiting there.
The woman gives Nanxi a once-over and asks condescendingly, âAre you the person Secretary Li told me to meet?â
âHuh?â
Nanxi is taken aback, but nods, âYeah, Iâ¦â
âCome with meâ¦â The woman cuts Nanxi off, eyeing her up and down dismissively before grumbling, âHmph, youâre nothing specialâ¦â
Nanxi: ââ¦â
Whatâs with this sudden hostility?
Nanxi soon meets Secretary Li, who is busy sending files to the woman who previously led Nanxi.
âTake these to the Minister of the Publicity Departmentâs officeâ¦â
The woman answers and leaves, throwing a defiant glance at Nanxi on the way out.
Nanxi: ââ¦â
Secretary Li greets Nanxi and takes her to Lu Yinchuâs office.
âMr.
Lu has just gone to Minister Guanâs office, he will be back soon.
Mrs.
Lu, you can wait for a while!â
âOh!â Nanxi responds, âThank you, Secretary Li!â
About five minutes later, Lu Yinchu returns.
By this time Nanxi has already set the food box with the dishes and served two small bowls of tonic soup.
As soon as she sees Lu Yinchu, she waves, âYouâre here just in time.
Come and have some soup.
I canât finish it all by myselfâ¦â
Lu Yinchu: ââ¦â
Thanks to Xia Zhenâs thoughtful act, Lu Yinchu and Nanxi enjoy a hearty lunch, leaving them both satisfied!
Not wanting to delay Lu Yinchuâs work, Nanxi decides to leave first.
But Lu Yinchu grabs her hand, pulls her into his arms, and says, âDonât rush off.
Stay with me for a bit!â
After thinking for a moment, Nanxi realizes she wants to spend more time with Lu Yinchu.
Plus, she feels guilty about what happened that morning.
She snuggles into Lu Yinchu, who senses her mood change and asks her whatâs wrong.
Nanxi isnât sure how to explain, especially since it involves Li Weihuan.
If she tells him, Lu Yinchu might get angry!
âNothing!â Nanxi wraps her arms around his neck, her eyes closed.
âI just feel so foolish and stupid, always creating problems when trying to help!â
âWhy are you speaking so poorly of yourself?â
âIâm just being honest!â
Nanxi lifts her head to look at Lu Yinchu.
Heâs so handsome from this angle.
She canât help nipping his chin, then asking, âLu Yinchu, youâre so smart, so capable, with such high IQ and EQ.
Donât you feel wronged being with me?â
âWronged?â
Lu Yinchu frowns.
âNot at all, I feel very lucky!â
âPfft, I donât believe it!
A man like youâ¦should be with someone whoâs knowledgeable, gentle, capable, pretty, has a good figure, is learned, and has good demeanorâ¦â
As Nanxi lists these characteristics, a figure unexpectedly pops into her head.
She stops talking because that personâ¦Lu Yinchu knows her tooâ¦
Lu Yinchu notices, and pulls her onto the sofa, pressing her down beneath him.
His handsome face comes close to hers.
âSo by that logic, how do you explain our ten-year age gap?
Weâre even more mismatched.â
Nanxi doesnât respond!
Lu Yinchu continues, âNanxi, there are many things in this world that cannot be explained or take more than a few words to explainâ¦I love you, just because you are you.
Even if youâre not knowledgeable and gentle, I still love you.
Even if you canât help me, I still love you.
Even if you donât have a great figure or great education or great demeanor, I still love youâ¦I love you because you are Gu Nanxi, you are yourself.
Understand?â
Nanxi presses her lips together, her eyes glittering.
She nods.
She understands!
âSilly girl!â He pinches her nose, and pulls her tighter in his arms as soon as she protests.
