Upon returning to the Shuicheng Residential District, Nanxi stormed off to take a bath in her room, visibly upset. First off, Lu Yinchu heated some water and came from the kitchen to call someone on his phone.
The person he called was Chang Linsheng, but apparently, his phone was switched off.
Lu Yinchu picked up his phone and contemplated for a while before he dialed Tu Yanmingâs number. Tu Yanming sighed with a mocking smile, "Thereâs no fooling you, is there?"
Lu Yinchuâs lips pressed into a thin line as he spoke, "So, tell me, what exactly happened?"
"When Shaojing called me to invite Asheng to the party, Asheng made a call to me!"
Lu Yinchu chuckled coldly, "So that so-called âwifeâsâ call was made by you?"
"Asheng insisted he couldnât just drop everything and attend the party. The girl wonât give up hope that easily! I think Asheng isnât in the right state of mind for a relationship right now. Besides, the girl is a friend of Nanxi, an innocent young lady. We canât ruin her!" Tu Yanming stated. "Furthermore, you should be aware, Asheng isnât ready to accept a relationship yet. No one can force him into it, including us!"
Lu Yinchu frowned and said, "Yanming, what you did isnât wrong, and neither is what you said. But some things in this world canât just be judged based on appearances. So, youâre not completely right."
Tu Yanming frowned in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"
After a pause, he gasped in shock, "Wait, Yinchu, youâre not saying youâre planning to matchmake Asheng with that girl, are you?"
"If you hadnât interfered, I wouldâve considered it!"
Tu Yanming was a bit flustered, "Hold on, Yinchu! What are you talking about? How am I causing trouble? Iâm actually helping here! Plus, remember that girl is your wifeâs friend, arenât you afraid your wife would get mad seeing her jump into a pit of fire? And more importantly, Asheng should like her too, isnât it? If he doesnât, you canât just shove a girl into his life, right?"
"How do you know he doesnât like her?"
Tu Yanming: "..."
He was suddenly speechless! What does that even mean?
Not being a fool, Tu Yanming figured it out after pondering for a moment, "Wait, are you implying that Asheng has fallen for that girl? Thatâs impossible! Yinchu, are you messing with me?"
Lu Yinchu did not reply, but he probed him instead, "Earlier on the phone call with Asheng, what did he tell you? I mean, in detail!"
"He said heâll take the girl to the apartment where he lived during his married days. His wifeâs traces in the apartment could have an impact on the girl and then a phone call. The girl would certainly believe that he still loves his wife, and that they are happily married. Even with the girl being naive, she wouldnât resort to wrecking someoneâs marriage. Sheâd think Ashengâs not a good man. The shock and moral reasons would probably make her give up!"
Lu Yinchu gave a slight smile and raised an eyebrow, "So, he lost control."
"..."
Tu Yanming was stunned. Lost control? What do you mean? Who lost control?
"Yinchu, what are you talking about?"
"Itâs not important now! Whether itâs a good thing or bad, we have to wait and see! Anyways, you go find Asheng first, I have stuff to do, so Iâll hang up!"
"Hey, wait, hold on, donât rush, I still donât understand fully! Also, how did you figure it out? I mean, knowing that it was me who made that call?"
"Apart from you, who else has so much time on their hands?"
Tu Yanming: "..."
Hold on! Does he think Iâm idle? Since when?
Just because his screen time is less doesnât mean he is idle. He needs more screen time!
Lu Yinchu didnât care about his inner turmoil and hastily hung up the call!
Back in the bedroom, there was a little lady who needed to be pacified. He didnât have time to waste with Tu Yanming!
...
But the reality was, Lu Yinchu had still failed to appease Nanxi even after breakfast the next day!
Furthermore, Nanxi said that she was still somewhat worried about Yang Su and was planning on moving back to Susuâs apartment after work!
It would also be a good opportunity to discuss submissions with Liao Feifei, and give Lu Yinchu a few days to reflect!
Lu Yinchu: "..."
Lord Lu expressed genuine ignorance about what he was supposed to reflect upon?
The rhythm was off, it seemed like he was being trapped by his brother! â_â
Nanxi was swift in her actions, after work the next day, she ignored Lu Yinchuâs car waiting to pick her up and directly took a taxi with Liao Feifei to Susuâs villa!
Lu Yinchu followed them all the way, but Nanxi pretended not to see him!
However, Liao Feifei was very cautious, she pulled on Nanxi and carefully asked, "Hey, Nanxi, have you noticed that black Land Rover behind us? It has been following us from the entrance of the magazine agency, could it be a bad guy?"
Before Nanxi could respond, the taxi driver heard their conversation and immediately reassured them, "Donât be scared, ladies, Iâll help you shake him off!"
Saying so, he immediately accelerated, and then, the Land Rover behind them also accelerated!
However, the driverâs BYD car (a Chinese brand) could never outrun a Land Rover. As soon as they arrived at their destination, the driver apologized, "Ladies, Iâm really sorry, that Land Rover was too ferocious, my BYD simply couldnât compete!"
Nanxi: "..."
The two of them smiled, thanked the driver, paid the fare and got off. Liao Feifei still looked around uneasily, only after making sure it was safe did she pull Nanxi towards the residential area!
Liao Feifei said, "It must be some rich second-generation heir who wants to pursue you! To dare to stalk like this in broad daylight, itâs simply too blatant! Whenever you go out, remember to bring me along. Iâll make sure youâre safe and will not allow you to be bullied!"
"..."
Nanxi awkwardly pulled her lips into a smile, was Lu Yinchu a second-generation rich kid?
Quite so!
When Nanxi arrived, Yang Su was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. Knowing that Nanxi was coming to stay for a few days, she was so happy!
Sheâs also improved her culinary skills, of course she had to show off a bit!
As for the reason Nanxi was staying, Nanxi couldnât admit it was because she was worried about her and had to keep her company. She simply used the nearing submission deadline as an excuse, saying that it was convenient to discuss work here with Liao Feifei!
Yang Su, taking her word for it, nodded, "And your husband doesnât mind?"
Nanxi responded, "His opinion can be disregarded!"
During dinner, the three laughed and chatted, and suddenly Liao Feifei talked about how they were trailed by a black Land Rover after work!
Hearing this, Yang Su burst into laughter, "I bet that car will follow you guys tomorrow!"
Liao Feifei was surprised, "Really? This rich second-generation is really pursuing Nanxi?"
Yang Su raised her eyebrow, "Perhaps!"
Liao Feifei got anxious as soon as she heard this and grabbed Nanxiâs hand, "Nanxi, you must stick to your guns, donât be deceived by that luxury car guy! Men who only know how to chase girls in fancy cars are simply tasteless and lack creativity! Besides, youâre already married. Think about your precious relationship with your husband. Just hang in there and donât give in to temptation!"
Nanxi: "..."
Isnât this the ultimate bestie situation â®(â¯_â°)â?
[Speaking about Su and Chang, a few words: Chang is an extremely rational man. To make him end his meaningless marriage requires a big enough jolt, I thought of many situations, like Zhang Mu pursuing Susu and him witnessing it, or stumbling upon Susu in K City... But none of them seem as direct and intense as Susuâs slaps and his own emotional outburst. So, I forced Susu to move back from K City and arranged for this plot, it wasnât Susu who wanted to provoke Chang in the middle of the night, it was Author Junâs arrangement for her to provoke him, itâs my fault~ Donât blame Susu~ She is young and naive when it comes to love, impulsiveness and naivety do arise, the plot is set for Chang Linsheng to be single after the main story ends, you all look forward to their extra story, itâll surely be extremely sweet~ Muah muah~.]
