Ah Zhan's tone toward Lin Nuan could be considered pleading.
Lin Nuan gazed at Ah Zhan, her gaze clear and clean. It was so clear that those who looked into her eyes would feel as if they could see through the filth in one's heart!
Ah Zhan's ears felt a little hot. He subconsciously lowered his eyes and mumbled softly, as if he was talking to himself, "Our boss is really … pitiful."
Ah Zhan remembered that ever since his boss's entire family died, ever since Shi Hanmei passed away, his boss had never smiled.
Although Li Muyang had obtained everything he once wanted, his body had become like that, and his eyes had always been empty. It was as if he was all alone in this bustling world, having lost his heart and soul. All that was left of him was an empty shell.
Ever since he met Lin Nuan, their boss's eyes gradually regained their former high-spirited look. Ah Zhan really hoped to see his former boss, young and arrogant. Back then, Li Muyang looked down on everyone, like a supreme king who controlled everything.
He thought that if Lin Nuan continued to stay by his boss's side, perhaps … as his boss recovered from the trauma in his heart, his body would gradually recover as well!
"Ah Zhan, there are more pitiful people in this world. For example, your boss is a king standing at the top of the food chain. He enjoys power that ordinary people can't, so he has to endure more pain than others. This is normal! It depends on the choices he makes in life … "
Lin Nuan wasn't clear about the internal strife in Li Muyang's family.
However, if Li Muyang didn't yearn for power and didn't want to become a leader in the family's internal strife, how could he have ended up being drugged, having his body collapse, and losing his lover?
This was his choice, and it was also the bitter outcome he had to bear.
In this world, sweetness and bitterness, glory and misery, all complemented each other. Lin Nuan had always been clear about this!
It was precisely because of this that Lin Nuan hoped to live the most ordinary life with Fu Huai 'an.
She was a very petty woman and didn't have any great desires. She didn't seek money, power, or glory. She only wanted to live a stable life, a peaceful life, and help each other in times of need.
Just like a top celebrity like Shi Hanchu, people only saw his glory in front of others, but behind the scenes, who could truly understand the despair he felt when he almost couldn't stand up after breaking his spine while filming? Who knew if his old injuries would be tormented by pain and itch on rainy days after he persevered through rehabilitation and stood up …
This was what Lin Nuan had discussed with Shi Hanchu in private when they were filming the show!
These questions were supposed to be asked during the show, but Shi Hanchu shook his head. He said … what the audience and fans wanted to see was a legendary Shi Hanchu. A legend should not be tormented by despair and illness.
Later on, every time he filmed, Shi Hanchu would always get new scars!
Shi Hanchu said that if he had to choose again, he would rather choose to be a nobody than to be covered in pain.
Ah looked at Lin Nuan and wanted to say something, but he realized that he had been convinced by Lin Nuan, thinking that what Lin Nuan said made sense.
Ah Zhan looked at Lin Nuan's pale face, which had two faint dimples because her lips had curled up. Amidst the lush greenery, they were practically the brightest color. He lowered his head and didn't say a word.
Lin Nuan stood on the spot, looking at the flamingo in the gurgling water. She anxiously waited for Li Muyang to get Ah Zhan to bring her to meet Gu Qingcheng.
After a long time, Li Muyang still hadn't informed Ah Zhan to bring Lin Nuan over. Lin Nuan couldn't resist asking Ah Zhan, "Is it going to take a long time?"
"Our boss still has other things to discuss with Mr. Gu, so it might take some time. If Miss Lin is tired, I can bring you to the long bench in front to have a seat. I'll get the servants to serve you some refreshments," Ah Zhan said respectfully to Lin Nuan.
There were still things to discuss, but who knew how long it would take …
Lin Nuan nodded. "Sorry to trouble you!"
Ah Zhan brought Lin Nuan to a spot with the best view. The long bench had a soft cushion, and there was a folded blanket at the side. It seemed like Li Muyang often came here to sit.
He then got the servants to serve Lin Nuan red date tea, as well as a few soft pastries that weren't too sweet and easy to digest. He then stood at the side without saying a word.
The chirping of birds and the sound of flowing water were the easiest things to calm one's heart.
Lin Nuan drew a piece of tissue and placed it under the hand that was holding the pastries. She ate the pastries delicately, but her mind was filled with what Li Muyang had just said.
Lin Nuan, who was deep in thought, had a slightly dazed gaze.
Her raised wrist that was holding the pastries was slender and fair, looking boneless. It was different from the European and American women that Ah Zhan often saw. It was filled with mysterious and beautiful oriental colors. Her cheeks were pale, and her skin was like white jade.
Even though she didn't wear any makeup, upon closer inspection, Lin Nuan's facial features were impeccably exquisite, like poppy flowers. The more one looked at her, the more attracted one's eyes became.
Ah Zhan lowered his gaze. Putting aside whether such a woman was smart or not, just with her looks alone, it was no wonder Sir was moved.
Ah Zhan had been with Li Muyang for many years. He had once thought that Li Muyang loved Shi Hanmei very much. It was Shi Hanmei who lacked confidence and kept saying that she wanted to win Li Muyang's heart.
But later on …
He realized that Li Muyang's gaze when he looked at Lin Nuan had a brilliance that wasn't there when he looked at Shi Hanmei. It was only then that he realized that what attracted Li Muyang to her in the first place might have been Lin Nuan's voice!
But later on, Lin Nuan easily obtained what Shi Hanmei couldn't obtain even after going crazy and risking her life … Li Muyang's heart!
Ah Zhan started to feel heartache for Li Muyang again.
Li Muyang was such a good person. Why did he meet Lin Nuan after Fu Huai 'an? If it was before …
Perhaps everyone would have different endings, right?
As time passed, no one brought Lin Nuan to meet Gu Qingcheng. Lin Nuan didn't appear anxious. Instead, her gaze grew calmer.
The worst outcome was that Li Muyang wouldn't let her go.
Although she didn't understand Gu Qingcheng, he was such good friends with Fu Huai 'an, so he definitely wouldn't abandon her here.
As long as Gu Qingcheng was around, Lin Nuan didn't feel so afraid.
She believed that as long as Fu Huai 'an came, Li Muyang would have no choice but to let her go.
Lin Nuan was more worried about how big Fu Huai 'an's firearms business was. She looked up at the colorful birds flying in the sky, her gaze flickering.
After his title as Mr. Moral was exposed, would he have to live a life of hiding and being a vagabond?
This was the opposite of the ordinary life that Lin Nuan wanted.
The last piece of pastry tasted like wax when she bit into it.
However, this was only Li Muyang's one-sided story. Lin Nuan would ask Fu Huai 'an about it when they got back. Fu Huai' an was Lin Nuan's husband, so she believed every word Fu Huai 'an said unconditionally.
