There was a saying that went, "There's still a long way to go." Things like fighting with their lives on the line weren't suitable for him and Bai Xiaonian!
He only hoped that Bai Xiaonian could be safe and healthy for the rest of her life.
If Bai Xiaonian wasn't sure about his love for Bai Xiaonian, then … he would just tell Bai Xiaonian every day!
If Bai Xiaonian didn't accept it, then he would stay by her side all the time!
People's hearts were made of stone, and Bai Xiaonian was so soft-hearted. He would eventually be able to move her.
"Old Lu!"
Tang Zheng, who had come out to smoke in the corridor, called out to Lu Jinnan.
Lu Jinnan turned around and saw that Tang Zheng had an unlit cigarette dangling from the corner of his lips. He then raised a cigarette in his direction, as if asking Lu Jinnan if he wanted to smoke.
Lu Jinnan walked towards Tang Zheng and took the cigarette. The two of them stood side by side. "Didn't you say you were leaving? Why haven't you left yet?"
"I'll smoke a cigarette later!" Tang Zheng lit the cigarette and asked Lu Jinnan, "You're letting Bai Xiaonian leave alone. Are you not planning to stay at Bai Xiaonian's house anymore?"
"It's not convenient to deal with Old Gu's matter!" Lu Jinnan lowered his head and lit the cigarette with one hand shielding the flame.
"The two of us are really brothers in hardship. It's so hard even getting a wife!" Tang Zheng laughed softly and joked with Lu Jinnan.
Lu Jinnan smiled and took a puff of the cigarette, not saying a word.
…
Gu Qingcheng left in the afternoon. Yun Liuli grabbed Gu Qingcheng's hand and sent him to the car. She couldn't hold back her tears.
Gu Qingcheng was afraid of parting like this. He took out a tissue to wipe the young lady's tears, then said to Lin Nuan, "It's been hard on you to take care of her …"
Lin Nuan placed a hand on Yun Liuli's shoulder and nodded at Gu Qingcheng. "Don't worry!"
With Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an around, Gu Qingcheng had nothing to worry about. He nodded and thanked them again before wiping away the young lady's tears with his fingers. "Wait for me to come back!"
"En!" Yun Liuli nodded.
Watching Gu Qingcheng leave, Yun Liuli rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, not wanting to let herself cry … but her tears kept falling.
She sniffed and said in a nasal voice, "Sister Xiao Nuan, I'm going back to school first too!"
"Leave after dinner!" Lin Nuan put an arm around the young lady's shoulder and led her into the house. "Yuan Yuan has already woken up. Judging from the time, Tuan Tuan should be home soon. You can play with Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan for a while. I'll get the driver to send you after dinner!"
Hearing the words "reunion," the young lady cried even harder. She didn't know when she would be able to reunite with Gu Qingcheng.
Yun Liuli's phone had been vibrating all afternoon. She only had time to check it now that Gu Qingcheng had left.
There were a few missed calls regarding Nina and a WeChat message from Guan Nina …
Guan Nina said on WeChat that her parents were bringing her to attend a banquet today. It was a banquet where the Xiao family was introducing their other son. Even if others didn't know, how could Guan Nina not know? The person they were introducing was Zhou Yuchen!
Guan Nina sent a few anxious emojis behind the WeChat message.
After seeing Guan Nina's WeChat message, Yun Liuli didn't quite understand. She replied …
[Yun Liuli: That's great!]
Wasn't it great that Zhou Yuchen's family had brought him back?
[Guan Nina: Young Miss, you finally replied.]
[Guan Nina: I feel like there's a conspiracy. Xiao Yuan's father knew long ago that Zhou Yuchen was his son. Why didn't he bring Zhou Yuchen back to the Xiao family after his mother passed away? Why did he bring him back now? Isn't that strange?]
Yun Liuli thought about it and replied.
[Yun Liuli: Perhaps, he found his conscience!]
[Guan Nina: …]
In Guan Nina's heart, the Xiao family didn't know what conscience was at all!
No one said anything about the Xiao family's businesses, but who didn't know that they were involved in the underworld?
Xiao Yuan's father, Xiao Qinghai, didn't do proper business all these years. Instead, he did quite a number of shady businesses. Guan Nina had once heard her father mention that this was just the tip of the iceberg.
It was obvious that the Xiao family wasn't a good place.
Guan Nina knew that Yun Liuli might not understand, but she couldn't tell Yun Liuli in detail over the phone or on WeChat. Therefore, Guan Nina asked Yun Liuli if she wanted to go with her tonight.
[Yun Liuli:?! Why should I go with her?]
On the other end of the line, Guan Nina bit her lip and sniffled sadly, but she still replied …
[Guan Nina: Because Zhou Yuchen likes you! He'll definitely be very happy to see you!]
After sending the message, Guan Nina added another sentence.
[Guan Nina: Moreover, Zhou Yuchen will definitely feel uneasy in an unfamiliar environment. I can tell that Zhou Yuchen relies on you. If you go, he'll feel more at ease.]
[Yun Liuli: I have a lover!]
Guan Nina and Yun Liuli's messages were sent almost at the same time.
On the other end of the line, although Guan Nina felt that it wasn't right, she still smiled.
She couldn't hide her thoughts. She bit her lip and replied to Yun Liuli.
[Guan Nina: What should I do? I feel that I'm a bad woman. I'm actually very happy to hear that you have a lover! If you don't like Zhou Yuchen, I feel that I have a chance again!]
[Yun Liuli:?! Why is it a bad woman to like someone? Nonsense!]
When Guan Nina saw Yun Liuli's message, the smile on her lips became even more radiant!
Why?!
It was probably because Guan Nina felt that Yun Liuli and Zhou Yuchen were more compatible.
[Guan Nina: Xiao Liuli, you're so nice!]
When she saw Guan Nina's message, Yun Liuli was even more confused. Why was she nice?
Without replying, Yun Liuli put down her phone and focused on playing with Yuan Yuan, who had just woken up. She was simply too adorable.
Yun Liuli suddenly started to look forward to her and Gu Qingcheng's child. She thought … their child would probably be as adorable as Yuan Yuan!
Lin Nuan heard from Fu Huai 'an that Gu Qingcheng had already agreed to let Yun Liuli try out what she liked, so she informed Fang Yan.
The next day, Yun Liuli had an exam in the morning. Fang Yan called Yun Liuli and said that she would pick her up after her exam the next day. She would first take a test to see which direction Yun Liuli was suitable for, so that she could come up with a comprehensive and concrete plan to package Yun Liuli.
When she went, she would bring the contract with her and let Yun Liuli sign it without worry. Since it was Lin Nuan's agency, they wouldn't take advantage of her and would give her the best resources.
Yun Liuli trusted Fang Yan, so she agreed over the phone.
Fang Yan had calculated that Yun Liuli's exam would end at 11: 30 in the morning. In order not to make Yun Liuli wait for too long, Fang Yan had specially booked an entire day's time. She brought the contract and stopped at the university's entrance at 11: 15 sharp!
Just as the car stopped, Fang Yan saw Yun Liuli sitting on the flower bed at the school's entrance, biting on a lollipop and taking notes in a little notebook.
Fang Yan rolled down the car window. "Liuli!"
Yun Liuli looked up and saw Fang Yan. She picked up her notebook, dusted off her butt, and ran towards Fang Yan.
