Obviously, he knew that Lu Yinchu was coming! "Good timing!" Lu Yinchu spoke with veiled admiration.
Gui Xi was helpless, "What would you think if I told you this was my second pot of tea?" "I overestimated you!" "..." Was he being overly harsh!? Feeling helpless, Gui Xi didn't want to argue anymore.
He gestured for Lu Yinchu to sit down, and Lu Yinchu took the seat without hesitation.
"I had lunch with Qiaoqiao today, we had a casual chat about life and exchanged views on love and marriage." "Then what?" Lu Yinchu asked indifferently, rubbing the tea cup wall with his fingertips.
"Then I realized, Qiaoqiao really matches my criteria for a partner..." "Are you sure you want to continue this conversation with me?" Lu Yinchu tilted his eyebrows, his gaze slightly icy.
"Alright, focus on the main point!" Gui Xi surrendered, took a sip of the tea to moisten his throat, and continued, "As you know, Nanxi was brought to H City by Weihuan four years ago.
But the Liang Family moved from the South to H City over a decade ago.
This was mainly because Nanxi's great-grandfather, Mr.
Liang Bonian, had lived here for eight years and had gotten attached to the city." "Carry on!" Lu Yinchu coldly urged.
Gui Xi sighed, unable to catch his breath.
"Okay, the main point is actually this.
Nanxi has been with Weihuan for six years.
He could have brought Nanxi directly to H City and found her family while they lived here.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt wouldn't have been difficult.
But in reality, Nanxi spent the initial two years in a town next to H City, completing her High School.
She only moved to H City for her university..." "And also Qiaoqiao said, she first met Weihuan in early June four years ago.
However, it wasn't until mid-August that Weihuan brought Nanxi to the Liang family to acknowledge their relationship.
That's a gap of almost one and a half months.
Besides, Nanxi's high school graduation was in May.
That indicates Weihuan didn't bring her directly to meet the family.
Only when Nanxi was about to start her university life, did he bring her H City.
Don't you find that weird?" Gui Xi chuckled, and added, "I remember, four years ago, in June, Weihuan left hfor about three days.
He made one call to tell us he was okay.
He didn't return until mid-August.
Do you remember that?" Lu Yinchu's lips thinned but he remained silent.
Seeing Gui Xi's smile, he said, "Okay...
Not only did I complete the task, I also extended your thinking a bit.
How about another 1% share in our hospital? It's a sure profit!" "Only this much?” Lu Yinchu asked mildly.
"..." Gui Xi was speechless.
What did he mean by 'only this much'! "Yinchu, I asked squestions on your behalf because you either couldn't ask or were too afraid to.
But, you're not even grateful! Honestly, Qiaoqiao might tell you if you asked.
Why didn't you inquire?" Lu Yinchu didn't respond.
"I guess you've been avoiding it!" Lu Yinchu's grip on the cup tightened slightly! Gui Xi sighed, "Alright, I won't ask anymore!" Lu Yinchu silently finished his tea, got up, straightened his suit, and asked indifferently, "Do you have the car keys?" "...Where is Mo Yan?" "I asked him to go back!" "..." Okay, he surely treated his subordinates well, but was brutal with his friends! "One percent?" When Gui Xi reluctantly handed over the keys to his beloved car, he couldn't help but mutter.
Lu Yinchu gave him a cool glance, snatched the keys from his hand, and walked away without a word! Gui Xi: "...Hey Lu, you're acting so arrogantly.
Does your Nanxi know about this?" But looking at his retreating figure, it was quite a poignant sight! Gui Xi sighed again.
In this world, does love prioritize who cfirst? As a thirty-four-year-old man with rich emotional experience, he couldn't cup with a definite answer.
However, he knew; his friend was in for a tumultuous romantic journey! Lu Yinchu stepped out of Gui Xi's office and took a deep breath.
Was he being evasive? Perhaps.
Gui Xi's car was a silver BMW, brand-new and less than a week old.
It was a remarkable sight to drive around in.
It wasn't that Gui Xi minded Lu Yinchu driving it, it just felt subtly unpleasant! This was because he himself hadn't driven it more than three times! Before starting the car, Lu Yinchu lit a cigarette.
He rolled down the window halfway and let the smoke thin out slowly against the cool night breeze.
The lights on the road scattered, making everything seem surreal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis dark eyes held a ineffable depth within them.
It was disappointment, melancholy, sorrow...
An hour later, when he returned to the can hospital and got out of the ear his face was as calm as ever, betraying En no trace of emotion. He stopped in front of the ward he was headed to and saw Lun Ying exiting after her rounds.
He stepped forward and asked, "Is she asleep?" Lun Ying was startled, not expecting Lu Yinchu to be there.
She quietly nodded, "She just fell asleep." "Okay." Lu Yinchu replied, "You can go back to work." Lun Ying nodded and left.
Standing outside the ward, he couldn't bring himself to open the door.
He imagined her sleeping peacefully inside and wondered whether his abrupt departure earlier had disappointed her, even slightly. A faint smile crossed his face.
His heart felt cleansed and refreshed as if washed by spring rain.
He asked himself, "Can it always be like this?" Of course, it could.
Eight years vanished as if in a dream.
If he could hold on to his true feelings for that long, he feared nothing in the future.
Smiling lightly, he, a thirty-two-year-old man was still drawn towards love.
One Gu Nanxi was enough to sway all his emotions.
A single smile from her lit up his world with a warm glow, as if everything were blooming sweetly under the sun.
That's how it should be, letting emotions run wild in a world with her, allowing all thoughts to revolve around her... Because, in the end, she is his ultimate peace and where his heart rests!
