Chapter 648: Chapter 651: 436 You Are The Unforgettable First Sight_2

“…”

“Also, who said you’re old? You’re not old, really not old – I like you right now. I like the fact that you’re ten years older than me. You let me savor the allure of a mature man, and you’ve made my life very different!”

“You know what? I was once afraid to interact with you for various reasons. But none of those reasons had anything to do with age! The Gu Nanxi of today, ten years from now, twenty years, fifty years, will still be in love with Lu Yinchu. This won’t change! Do you remember what you told me when we were on a business trip down south? You said we would live and die together. I agreed… I remember all the promises I made. But you’ve forgotten them!”

“I have not forgotten!”

“If you haven’t forgotten, then why say such things to provoke me!” Nanxi’s small mouth pouted in displeasure. She turned her face away and rested again on Lu Yinchu’s chest. “You clearly know that’s not true!”

Lu Yinchu reached out around the small woman’s waist and pulled her tightly into his arms. He held her very close and said, “I’m sorry.”

Nanxi closed her eyes. “Lu Yinchu, have you ever heard this saying? ‘If life were as it was at first sight, then that first sight would be forever.’ This kind of feeling is rare and hard to find, yet we found it. Don’t you think we’re lucky? But at the same time, it’s also kind of brutal. Because during those eight years of difficult torment, I was simply living my own life in my own way. I didn’t know you, I didn’t know who you were. I was a stranger, but to you, I was the most familiar… Thank you, Lu Yinchu. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for making me so fortunate!”

…

Lu Yinchu and Nanxi didn’t stay upstairs for long. A servant knocked on the door to remind them that everyone else was having a lively gathering downstairs and suggested they join in.

Lu Yinchu asked the servant, “You say everyone is downstairs?”

The servant answered, “Miss Lun Ying left in the afternoon. Young Master Li Weihuan and Miss Yi Mu also left to go shopping.”

Lu Yinchu didn’t say anything, and just glanced at Nanxi. Nanxi took his hand, indicating that they shouldn’t go downstairs yet.

Lu Yinchu got the hint and told the servant, “You go ahead first and tell grandfather that Nanxi and I will be down soon.”

The servant complied and left. Before leaving, he looked at Nanxi, marveling at her good fortune. In his mind, she must have gained this happiness from virtues accumulated in her past life to be so adored by the young master.

Once the servant left, Nanxi turned to Lu Yinchu, “I want to call Lun Ying to ask why she left so suddenly…”

Feeling somewhat concerned, she thought it best to clarify instead of them making wild guesses. After all, this could be unfair to them.

Moreover, she believed that if she couldn’t help Li Weihuan, Lu Yinchu definitely could. Knowing the situation would help in extending a helpful hand.

Lu Yinchu nodded, “You can ask. Do you have Lun Ying’s mobile number?”

Nanxi was taken aback, then shook her head. She felt somewhat embarrassed – she had known Lun Ying for some time, yet she didn’t have her phone number.

That seemed a little rude!

Lu Yinchu chuckled, “It doesn’t matter, I’ll call Gui Xi to ask…”

Nanxi nodded in agreement.

Lu Yinchu dialed Gui Xi’s number and the two chatted briefly. After hearing whatever Gui Xi had to say on the other end, Lu Yinchu responded, “I should have some time after grandfather falls asleep, around ten.”

“…But I can only stay for two hours at most. I need to be home by twelve…” After a few more exchanges, they hung up.

“What’s this about two hours? Are you leaving tonight?” Nanxi asked.

“Yes,” Lu Yinchu nodded. “Shaojing booked a private room and wants us all to get together. But don’t worry, you will accompany me and we’ll be back by midnight.”

“Oh! So will your buddies, I mean, people like Mr. Chang and Mr. Tu, be there too?”

“Probably,” Lu Yinchu replied.

Nanxi looked down pondering, her mind was preoccupied with her best friend Susu’s predicament!

Susu had a crush on Chang Linsheng. Given her confidence last time, it appeared that it was no longer a simple liking. But unfortunately, her life and work circles didn’t intersect with Chang Linsheng’s at all!

Nanxi wanted to help Susu, but hesitated, considering that Chang Linsheng had a separated wife.

Susu was in love for the first time, and the first man she fell for was married. Nanxi didn’t know whether to encourage her or discourage her as she herself had once been through the pain of letting go. She didn’t want Susu to get hurt in the same way.

“Lu Yinchu, I want to ask you something… Do you think there’s a chance that your buddy, Chang Linsheng, might… get divorced?”

Nanxi asked very cautiously. Seeing Lu Yinchu frown, afraid of a misunderstanding, she rushed to explain, “Here’s what happened…” Nanxi told Lu Yinchu about Yang Su’s crush on Chang Linsheng.

Nanxi explained, “I originally wanted to stop her, but feelings aren’t so easily controlled. Susu is very innocent and essentially naive about love. She hasn’t dated before, and the first man she falls for is a married man… It feels cruel to disclose this to her…”

“Then find a chance to tell her!” said Lu Yinchu. “Regardless of whether Ahsheng will divorce his wife in the future, at least let your friend know that this man is married. Even if he gets divorced in the future, he will be a man with a history of marriage…”

“If she cares about this, maybe she’ll give up after learning the truth! If not, and if Ahsheng divorces in the future, it’s not entirely impossible for something to develop between her and your friend! After all, sometimes it’s better to know early on and withdraw than to fall in too deeply and wish to withdraw but not be able to.”

Nanxi nodded, “I got it! So… should I personally tell Susu? But Lu Yinchu, I… I really can’t bring myself to say it. Do you have any better ideas?”

“Not for the time being!”

“Really? So I have to tell Susu myself?”

“Maybe not…” Lu Yinchu thought for a moment and said, “Later you can call your friend and ask if she’s free tonight…”

“Huh? To do what?”

“Didn’t you ask me to come up with a solution?”

“…” Nanxi was stunned. Was this… a solution?

[The story of Susu and Chang Linsheng will be written as a side story. It will be mentioned briefly in the main story’s conclusion (which is not much left). In addition, looking for monthly votes and recommendation votes, while preparing to update once or twice when I owe ten more chapters (currently three more owe).]
