Gui Xi blinked, squinting at Lu Yinchu, âHow do you know Iâve come to talk to you about something? Maybe I was just paying a straightforward visit to see how your recovery was going!â
Lu Yinchu only hinted a smile, âIs that so?â
Gui Xi:ââ¦â
Lu Yinchu ignored Gui Xi, turned to the side, picked up the tea by his hand and took a sip. He was actually craving a cigarette, but smoking was not allowed in the ward!
Moreover, with Nanxi being around and his promise to quit smoking for the sake of Nanxiâs pregnancy and the babyâs health, he needed to exercise restraint!
Seeing that Lu Yinchu wasnât speaking, Gui Xi was starting to become impatient, âAlright then, I did come here because I need your help in something specific!â
Lu Yinchu lifted his eyebrows, looked at him, and said a word blandly, âSpeak!â
Darn! Doctor Gui was frustrated, could this kid not be so arrogant!
â¦
However, what Gui Xi had not expected was that the person he came to for help was Lu Yinchu, and the person who ended up helping him was actually Nanxi!
â¦îîîîîîîîîîîîîîî
As she was once again stepping through the entrance of the KING Group, Nanxiâs feelings were utterly different, as she was being fetched by Wei Qinglian!
Wei Qinglian glanced at her, her voice indifferent, âFollow me!â
Just like the first time, she still had that stoic demeanor. But Nanxi knew that Wei Qinglian was someone who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, a good person!
Entering the elevator, Wei Qinglian cleared her throat as a reminder, âMiss Gu, I should mention, Miss Lan has been very tired lately, plus her mood hasnât been very good. Be careful with what you say, donât upset her.â
Nanxi nodded, âI understand!â
Her bad mood probably has something to do with Gui Xi!
In fact, Nanxi didnât really know what had happened between Gui Xi and Guan La. If, as Lu Yinchu had said, Doudou was the biological child of Gui Xi, then it would mean that they had some kind of relationship before, at least three years ago, and they were even very close!
Did they⦠date?
But if they had dated, after Lu Yinchu found out that Guan Laâs child was not her husbandâs, he should have wondered if the child could be Gui Xiâs. The fact that Lu Yinchu hadnât thought so meant that they hadnât dated!
Butâ¦
Nanxi shook her head, feeling a little confused. She couldnât really understand Lu Yinchuâs circle of friends, nor could she comprehend their thoughts. After all, they didnât interact much.
There was only one sense she had, they were all outstanding individuals of certain social standing, and they were all good people!
Perhaps, as Lu Yinchu once said, when their status rose to a certain level.
They would naturally seek everything that people at that level would seek, including choosing a mate!
Meeting a potential spouse became more ruthless, their thoughts became more penetratingâ¦
Marriage is not childâs play, let alone games related to feelings. Itâs not something to be taken lightly!
Because itâs really scary to meet the wrong person!
As soon as the lift doors opened, before Nanxi had the chance to step out, she saw a man in a dark-colored suit was stepping in, brushing past her shoulder!
Nanxi was nudged, her body leaning to one side, and Wei Qinglian steadied her!
âYou alright?â Wei Qinglian let go, her voice as cold as ever.
Nanxi shook her head, âIâm fine!â
As she was leaving the elevator, she turned around to sneak a peek at the man in the elevator. She squinted slightly, feeling a sense of familiarity, and before she could get a clearer look, the elevator doors closed!
Wei Qinglian also squinted her eyes because she seemed to remember having encountered this man while she was going down to fetch Nanxi. What a coincidence! What was he here for?
âWe should go, donât keep Sister Lan waiting for too long!â Wei Qinglian said.
â⦠Okay!â Nanxi replied.
â¦îîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîî
By the time they arrived at Guan Laâs office, the office door was open!
Guan La was sitting behind her desk, her hand rubbing her forehead, her eyes closed as if very tired.
Wei Qinglian knocked on the door and announced, âSister Lan, Miss Gu has arrived!â
Guan La furrowed her brows slightly, âWhy didnât you answer when I called earlier?â
Wei Qinglian was stunned for a moment, âI forgot my mobile phone!â
Guan La shook her head, âNever mind, bring two cups of fruit teaâ¦â
Wei Qinglian nodded and as she turned around her face showed a hint of regret!
She, who was always meticulous at work, how could she forget to bring her phone? Was there something important that Sister Lan was trying to tell her when she called? Damn it!
After Wei Qinglian left, Nanxi walked over and called out âSister Lanâ. Guan La stood and led her to the sofa, âIâm sorry to have made you take the trip!â
Nanxi smiled and said, âItâs nothing. I donât have work right now, so Iâm not busy!â
âHmm!â Guan La responded, âYinchu told me youâre about to start working for a magazine, is that right?â
âAh?â Nanxi was surprised that Lu Yinchu had told her, and nodded, âYes!â
Guan La pursed her lips, âThatâs good. For girls from the Chinese Department, especially with your personality, writing for a magazine seems quite suitable!â
There was a knock, and Wei Qinglian came in carrying two cups of fruit tea. After putting down the tea, she looked at Guan La and then at Nanxi, didnât say anything, and left.
By the way, she closed the door on her way out!
âI know Yinchu is eager for a child, so I didnât dare give you any stimulating drinks. Try it, itâs a special blend made for our floor, harmless and delicious!â
Nanxi nodded her head and took a sip â sweet and sour, it was really delicious!
After drinking her tea to wet her throat, Nanxi felt she should get down to business. After all, she wasnât just here for tea!
She cleared her throat, âWell, Sister Lanâ¦â
âSay whatever you want to say!â Guan La put down her cup and looked at her, âBut Nanxi, let me make something clear first. There is no possibility between me and Gui Xi!â
âButâ¦â
But Gui Xi is Doudouâs biological father!
Nanxi choked up and didnât say it out loud.
âThere is no but. If there was a possibility, we would have been together more than three years ago, not dragging it out until nowâ¦â
ââ¦â
Nanxi pursed her lips, didnât expect that Guan La would shut her down so quickly. But since she promised Gui Xi to help, she couldnât give up halfway!
With the spirit of going to any lengths for her friend, Nanxi straightened up and said, âSister Lan, can I know why? Why⦠why donât you accept Gui Xi?â
âNo reason, I just feel itâs impossible!â
âNo, there must be a reason!â
âWhether you believe it or not, thereâs really none!â
ââ¦â Nanxi furrowed her brows. She seemed to recall that Lu Yinchu had mentioned that Guan Laâs ex-husband wanted to get back together with her. Could it beâ¦!
She suddenly remembered who that man she met on the road was!
Guan Laâs ex-husband!
She had seen him once before at dinner with Han Shaojing and Han Baobao, but she didnât have a deep impression of him! But she was sure that the man she bumped into earlier was him!
Did he come to find Guan La?
âSister Lan, you⦠youâre not thinking of getting back together with your ex-husband, are you?â Nanxi asked cautiously.
âWith him?â
Guan La furrowed her brow, âEven less possible!â
âWhy?â
Sheâs not going to be with Gui Xi, nor does she want to get back together with her ex-husband. It doesnât make sense to reject both, Nanxi blinked, she didnât understand!
