Nanxi stood up, her head swimming.
She steadied her breath, then walked in the direction where Li Weihuan had thrown the ring.
Crouching down, she began looking for the lost item bit by bit.
She found the ring box with no time, but even after almost two hours, she was still unable to find the ring itself.
Nanxi wiped the sweat off her face, not mindful of the time, only knowing that the heat from the sun was scorching her back, leaving her feeling limp...
Students passing by would occasionally look at her curiously, but none cforward to ask or offer help.
From tto time, a boy would pass by and seeing a girl searching for something, a sense of curiosity and an opportunity for a romantic encounter would lead him to inquire.
"Hey, what are you looking for?" "A heart." "A heart?" The boy was confused, "What did you say...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou're looking for what?" Nanxi paused, then looked up at the boy.
Her eyes were deep, black as ink...
Feeling disgusted, Li Weihuan left H University in a huff.
When he got into the taxi, he kicked the car door in frustration.
The taxi driver, utterly confused, was about to scold him, but Li Weihuan handed him several red banknotes, "I'm not riding anymore!" The taxi driver glanced at Li Weihuan.
He was decked out in designer clothes and had an indescribable haughty and domineering demeanour.
He was obviously a young master from a wealthy family, so the driver didn't dare to offend him, took the money and drove off.
Li Weihuan's mood was gloomy, and he was full of regret.
In his heart, he knew perfectly well that now was not the right tto get married.
He was twenty-five years old, not a child anymore, but he was still reliant on his parents.
Dressed up, he was studying and doing business abroad, but the fact was that at twenty-five, he had achieved nothing.
He had long admired his second uncle, Lu Yinchu.
Yinchu was the only male figure in the family due to his father's perpetual absence, and he matured early.
He started to make money by his own means when he was in high school.
At that time, he was young and, while envious, he also felt that there was no need.
The Lu Family was a prominent one, not just in H City, but counted among the most influential families.
So why should his uncle work so hard to earn money, when he could easily get funds from the family? As he grew older, he started to understand his earlier naivety.
Especially after falling in love with Nanxi, he felt a greater need to quickly mature.
But he also understood that maturing and growing was impossible under the constraints and control of his family.
His mother, Qi Qun's idea was simple: after he graduated, he would pursue a career in politics or business. Better yet, in politics.
She reasoned this because their family had a solid foundation, with both his grandfather and Lu Wenming having an army background and holding important positions in the military.
His grandfather may be retired, but his position in the military was unshakeable.
With the right connections, it wouldn't be hard for him to make a nfor himself in the officialdom.
If it had been earlier, he would have probably accepted his mother's arrangements.
He would have followed her heart and walked down the path she deemed correct, being a dutiful son who wouldn't cause her trouble.

But she did not accept Nanxi – she rejected her without giving any m e opportunity. And who was Nanxi? She was the girl he cherished and loved, a vital part of his life.
Yet, his mother vehemently rejected her.
Despite recognizing himself as an unfilial son, he also knew that his two mother had his two sisters to look motherkiad after her while Nanxi only had him.
He was committed to her for this life, and would worry about the next life in the next life. While studying abroad these past two years, he had been genuinely learning.
He wasn't a total dunce and could achieve something given sefforts.
However, the most frustrating part was being unable to see Nanxi.
Nanxi was excellent in his eyes; she shone brilliantly.
Sometimes, he wished he could take her to a place where no one was around.
That way, no one would notice her, or the light that exuded from her.
Then she would belong to him alone.
However, he knew that such a thought was selfish.
Such an action would be selfish as well.
And now, he was back.
On one hand, he was frustrated with Ren Linlin and his mother's pressures.
On the other hand, there was an unsettling feeling within his heart.
