When Nan Mu finally finished complaining, Lin Shanchu replied emotionlessly, âI just found out about what happened online.â
Nan Mu fell into a deathly silence.
Lin Shanchu put the phone in front of her and looked at it. After confirming that the call had not been hung up, she asked Nan Mu, âAre you there?â Nan Mu replied, âIâm fine. Iâm going to work.â
Thinking about how Lin Shanchu was even worse off than him, he felt at ease.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchu sat on the bed in a daze for a while before getting up to wash up.
Upon opening the door, Lin Shanchu saw the black-hearted boss that Nan Mu mentioned.
Huo Xunzhou was sitting upright in his wheelchair and looking straight at her with a smiling charming eyes. He looked focused and affectionate, exuding a strong sense of bewitchment.
âYouâ¦â
Lin Shanchu was about to interrogate him, but under the bewitchment of his smiling charming eyes, she forcefully changed the topic. âWhy didnât you pick up Nan Muâs call?â
âIâll call him later,â Huo Xunzhou replied seriously.
He was really good-looking. His attitude and tone were also nice.
Lin Shanchu held it in for a long time, but she could not find any fault with him.
âWhat are you doing at my doorstep so early in the morning?â
âIâm here to admit my mistake.â
Huo Xunzhou straightened his back and placed his hands on his knees, looking unusually docile.
Lin Shanchuâs lips squirmed. Then, she left after dropping two words.
âHow sinister!â
First, he posted a Weibo post, which was similar to a relationship declaration, on the Internet behind her back. Then, he showed up at her doorstep early in the morning and apologized to her with a good attitude.
He really took advantage of everything, so she could not find any fault with him.
What a sinister and scheming man!
âShanshan, slow down. I canât keep up.â
Huo Xunzhou followed her in his wheelchair.
Lin Shanchu stopped as if she had thought of something.
She turned around and looked at Huo Xunzhou strangely. âHow long are you going to sit in this wheelchair?â
âSoon.â
Huo Xunzhou stopped as well.
After sizing Lin Shanchu up for a moment, he asked, âYouâre not angry anymore?â
Lin Shanchu slowed down and walked beside him. âThereâs one more thing.â
The netizens actually commented that Huo Xunzhou liked sick people, so she still felt a little angry.
As for Huo Xunzhouâs Weibo post, she did not think it was a big deal because he had talked to her about declaring their relationship before.
However, she did not expect Huo Xunzhou to act so quickly.
Huo Xunzhou asked her in a coaxing tone, âDo you want to hang out with Wen
Huan?â
She enjoyed hanging out with Wen Huan. In this way, her anger would probably subside.
âWen Huan took the photos, didnât he?â Lin Shanchu asked as her eyes brightened.
Huo Xunzhou nodded.
âI knew itâ¦â Lin Shanchu laughed.
When she saw the photos earlier, she found that the style was familiar.
Wen Huan had always been the best photographer among the reporters.
Huo Xunzhou added, âI asked him out for lunch.â
Lin Shanchu blinked in confusion.
Huo Xunzhou explained, âTo thank him for taking pictures of us.â
Such a professional matter should be handed over to a competent and tight-lipped person.
Wen Huan was a suitable candidate.
âHave you paid him?â Lin Shanchu snorted.
Huo Xunzhou pursed his lip and said jealously, âYou are quite considerate of him.â
Lin Shanchu replied, âHeâs my friend. How can I let him suffer losses?â
Huo Xunzhou said, âIâm your boyfriend.â
Lin Shanchu said, âYeah.â
Huo Xunzhou was speechless.
Huo Xunzhou asked Wen Huan out for lunch at Boya Hotel.
Lin Shanchu looked for Wen Huan everywhere as soon as she entered the restaurant.
In the end, she could not find Wen Huan even after looking around. âDidnât Wen Huan say that he had arrived? Where is he?â
âBehind you.â
As Huo Xunzhouâs voice rang out, Lin Shanchu felt someone pat her shoulder from behind.
Lin Shanchu turned around and saw a man with his face covered.
âItâs me.â Wen Huan took off his sunglasses and looked left and right like a thief.
Lin Shanchu followed suit and looked around before she asked, âWhich big shot did you offend?â
Wen Huan said, âNo, itâs just⦠Iâve been a little afraid of light recently.â
As he spoke, he put his sunglasses back on.
Lin Shanchu was puzzled.
Who would believe such a ridiculous reason?
She treated Wen Huan as a friend, but Wen Huan treated her as a fool?
âSit down and order food first,â Huo Xunzhou said.
Only then did the group of people sit down and start ordering dishes.
Lin Shanchu expressionlessly pushed the menu to Wen Huan. Wen Huan looked around like a thief before finally taking off his mask, sunglasses and hat as if he had finally confirmed that the environment was safe.
Wen Huan flipped through the menu and ordered the dishes skillfully, not showing any surprise at the price on the menu.
Lin Shanchu gradually understood him.
Wen Huan covered himself up so much because he was afraid that he would meet some acquaintances and be escorted back to get married.
In the original book, Wen Huan was also born into a wealthy family in Capital City and left home because he ran away from his marriage.
Lin Shanchu thought of Wen Huanâs marriage in the book and frowned slightly.
In the original book, she was like a jinx and everyone who treated her well would become unfortunate.
Lin Shanchu asked Wen Huan with a complicated expression, âDid you specially come back to Capital City to help us take photos?â
âYes and no.â Wen Huan was so focused on ordering dishes that he did not notice that Lin Shanchu had said âcome back to Capital Cityâ. Instead, he thought that she said âcome to Capital Cityâ.
However, Huo Xunzhou, who had been paying attention to Lin Shanchu, noticed it.
Huo Xunzhou looked at Wen Huan without batting an eyelid. âAre you also from Capital City?â
Wen Huan paused and nodded.
âI returned to Capital City this time toâ¦â
Wen Huanâs words were suddenly interrupted by a female voice.
âWen Huan?â
Lin Shanchu heard a familiar voice and turned around.
âMiss Ming?â
âWhat a coincidence.â
Ming Yaoâs gaze swept across the three of them before finally landing on Wen Huan.
Wen Huan could not play dumb, so he raised his head and called out in fear, âCousin. â
âItâs really you?â Ming Yao raised her eyebrows. âYour sister is sick lately.â âWhat illness? Is it serious?â Wen Huan asked nervously.
Ming Yao replied, âYouâll know when you go back and take a look.â
âIâll go back now.â Wen Huan stood up and said, âIâll be leaving now. Iâll contact you guys for dinner another day.â
Wen Huan was so anxious that he did not even take his hat and sunglasses.
Didnât he say that he would rather live under the bridge and become a vagrant picking up trash every day than go back to that house?
Why was it different from what was written in the book?
Ming Yao noticed Lin Shanchuâs puzzled expression. âWen Huan and his sister are very close. Wen Huan ran away from home after the two of them had a big fight.â
Lin Shanchu asked in surprise, âNot because he ran away from his marriage?â
Ming Yao was confused. âWen Huan hasnât been engaged before. Why would he run away from his marriage?â
The plot had really changed.
Wen Huanâs story line was completely different from the book.
How exciting.
âHeâs already an adult, and yet he ran away from home?â Lin Shanchu asked, concealing the emotions in her eyes.
âHis sister dotes on him very much, so heâs more or less childish.â Ming Yao glanced at the other side and said, âThe person Iâm going to meet has arrived, Iâll go over first.â
Huo Xunzhou, who opposite Lin Shanchu, suddenly asked her, âDidnât Wen Huan mention his family situation to you?â
