In the photo, Shi Hanchu was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a black cap, his head lowered as he fiddled with his phone, walking towards the restaurant with his assistant by his side …
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
Bai Xiaonian's gossipy heart couldn't be affected by her leg injury.
"Su Manman is here too?" Bai Xiaonian zoomed in on the photo and pointed at a blurry figure wearing a cap. "Look! Su Manman! "
Lin Nuan couldn't tell it was Su Manman from such a blurry figure.
"Let's go to the restaurant! Maybe they're still in the restaurant! I felt there was something fishy about the movie they worked on. Then, Su Manman confessed on Weibo, and I bet a bunch of spicy sticks that they're together! "Bai Xiaonian said to Lin Nuan.
Seeing Lin Nuan standing there with her hands in her pockets, Bai Xiaonian tugged at the corner of her shirt. "Let's go! I'm not here just for the gossip, I want to eat breakfast … "
It would be weird if she believed Bai Xiaonian …
Lin Nuan pushed Bai Xiaonian into the elevator and went to the restaurant.
But Shi Hanchu and Su Manman were long gone. Bai Xiaonian looked around and felt it was a pity. She still liked the winner of the Best Actor Award.
Lin Nuan came back with food for Bai Xiaonian and wiped her hands with a napkin. She stood beside Bai Xiaonian and said, "What else do you want to eat …"
"Enough, enough. I don't dare to eat too much. I've been eating and not exercising recently, and I've already gained weight. If I eat more, when my leg recovers, losing weight will become a huge project again!" Bai Xiaonian took the glass of milk from the tray and gulped it down. She frowned and looked up at Lin Nuan helplessly. "You're really my good friend …"
Lin Nuan pursed her lips and smiled. She saw skim milk just now, so she got Bai Xiaonian a glass of skim milk.
"Lu Jinnan has taken good care of you. It's only been a few days, and your face has gained weight. Your leg is injured, so you can return to the station in a few days! Fresh young ladies are popping up one after another. If you really wait until you recover, your position as the morning news anchor will be replaced by someone else! "
It wasn't like Bai Xiaonian didn't know that Lin Nuan's worries were reasonable.
Bai Xiaonian was no fool. She understood this logic …
It was just that Lin Nuan was no longer at Haicheng TV Station. To Bai Xiaonian, that place no longer had any reason for her to miss it.
Bai Xiaonian patted the seat next to her and asked Lin Nuan, who hadn't gotten her food yet, to sit down. She had something to say.
She sat down …
"Nuan, I'm not as popular as you are now. There are plenty of TV stations to choose from!" Bai Xiaonian put down the glass of milk in her hand and said with a serious expression, "To be honest … now that Miss Xia is gone, I really don't have any confidence in Haicheng TV Station, so I plan to leave."
Bai Xiaonian didn't look like she was joking, nor did she look like she had made an impulsive decision.
"Then what's your plan?!"
"Previously, when I was on the 'Morning News', I kept an eye out and found out how Weng Lin signed a contract with Haicheng TV Station.
Xia is not bad. He didn't force me to sign a long-term contract. A while ago, one of my seniors at the National Times asked me if I was willing to join the international department and be a foreign correspondent. "
A foreign correspondent?!
"Then you and Lu Jinnan …"
"I haven't discussed it with him yet." Bai Xiaonian tightened her grip on her napkin. "But … I think he'll support me! After all these years, I've come to understand that a woman must have her own career. She mustn't be completely dependent on a man. Otherwise, she'll become a man's accessory sooner or later! "
Moreover, Bai Xiaonian had her own expectations for herself!
She had always looked up to her late mother as a role model. Her biggest goal in this life was to catch up to her late mother.
At least for now, Bai Xiaonian's feelings for Lu Jinnan weren't strong enough for her to give up her long-cherished goal just to be with him.
Lin Nuan nodded. "No matter what decision you make, I'll support you!"
Bai Xiaonian smiled and reached out to grab Lin Nuan's hand. "I knew it. My Nuan understands me the best!"
Lin Nuan went to get breakfast for herself. She waited in front of the coffee machine, a little distracted until she heard someone greet her in English.
"Hello!"
Lin Nuan thought that the other party also wanted to use the coffee machine, so she raised her head. "I'll be done in half a minute …"
In front of her was a young man in a gray casual sweater. His skin was so fair that it looked a little sickly. He stood beside Lin Nuan and smiled at her. His eyes, which were hollow when they first met, were a little brighter now. He was over 1.8 meters tall, but he gave off a feeling of weakness.
"Don't you remember me? I'm the one who knocked your phone away yesterday … "The man smiled at Lin Nuan and spoke, looking as if he wanted to get to know Lin Nuan. He extended his hand toward Lin Nuan, his actions clearly slow, and his voice sounded weak." My name is Li Muyang. Nice to meet you! "
Lin Nuan's gaze swept over Li Muyang's large hand, and she smiled as she shook his hand. She didn't introduce herself. "Hello …"
The coffee machine made a beeping sound.
Lin Nuan picked up her coffee cup. "I'm done!"
"Wait!" Li Muyang was afraid that Lin Nuan would leave, so he stopped her. "I'm really sorry. Although it's rude, I want to be friends with you."
The moment the man got close to Lin Nuan, Lin Nuan could smell the faint scent of medicine on him. That elegant yet slightly bitter scent had seeped into his bones, and his breathing made him appear unhealthy, as if he had been bedridden for a long time.
Even though this man was so thin that his eye sockets were deeply sunken and his skin was overly fair, he was still handsome. His aura was also unexpectedly clean and elegant.
When he stopped her, he maintained a safe distance and wasn't frivolous, so Lin Nuan didn't feel repulsed.
The coffee in her hand was steaming, and the aroma assailed her nostrils. Lin Nuan smiled, taking Li Muyang's words as a way of hitting on her, so she went straight to the point. "I'm already married."
Li Muyang's gaze swept over Lin Nuan's hand, but he didn't see a wedding ring …
Noticing Li Muyang's gaze, Lin Nuan smiled slightly. "I'm not joking."
"You've misunderstood me …" Li Muyang's hollow black eyes looked into Lin Nuan's eyes, as if he was looking at another person through Lin Nuan's eyes.
His Adam's apple moved up and down slightly, and he smiled with much difficulty, saying in a very soft voice, "Your voice is almost identical to my deceased lover's. So, I just want to talk to you. I don't have any other intentions."
Lin Nuan's gaze toward Li Muyang became increasingly guarded. Even though there was indeed sadness in this man's eyes, she felt that this was just a way for men to hit on her …
However, Lin Nuan was still smiling. "Sorry, my friend is still waiting for me. Excuse me!"
