515: Chapter 347: Lu Yinchu, I'm uncomfortable _2 515: Chapter 347: Lu Yinchu, I'm uncomfortable _2 Li Weihuan's effortless capitulation of Nanxi was something Bai Yuchuan and Yan Chenqing knew about.
Yang Su and Lan Qiqi took Nanxi's side, respecting her decision.
Zhang Mu was left confused and disbelieving.
He believed that, given Li Weihuan's fervor for Nanxi, even if it meant his death, he could never possibly let go of her.
Even if Nanxi wanted to break up with him, he would undoubtedly cling to her with an iron grip! In his own words, the ancient tradition of dying for love might sound silly, but if one day, Nanxi and he were to be pushed to the brink of separation or death, he would rather leave this world together with her.
Perhaps after death, they would metamorphose into butterflies fluttering about.
It even sounds rather romantic...
So how could this Li Weihuan ever let go of Nanxi? How could he? Zhang Mu didn't understand, but he felt heartache for his brother, a deep ache...
Yan Chenqing returned quietly, taking in the sight of the two without uttering a word. Nanxi stood up, "I am going to the kitchen to see if there's anything I can help with." Having said that, she went on her way.
At six in the evening, when Lan Qiqi returned, Bai Yuchuan had already busied himself with the preparation of several savory dishes.
Zhang Mu and Yang Su praised Bai Yuchuan's culinary skills to lighten the mood.
Belting down drinks, devouring food, making small talk, and so on, added a festive touch to the atmosphere! The atmosphere took them back to their formative days before graduation.
It was during these years filled with laughter and shared experiences that their sturdy friendship took shape! A pack of beer wasn't enough, so Bai Yuchuan and Li Weihuan fetched more.
Nanxi, giving up her reservations, had a few drinks.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs someone with low alcohol tolerance, she was soon the most intoxicated of the group.
In the end, when Nanxi was helped onto the sofa in a drunken stupor, the rest maintained a grip on their sobriety.
"You all continue drinking, I need to make a phone call!" Li Weihuan rose, heading to the balcony.
The rain outside showed no sign of stopping.
Li Weihuan's gaze settled on a certain corner of the pitch-black night, making a call...
The call was quickly answered.
"She's drunk, delirious.
I know you're just outside.
You may cup...
take her away.
Also..." He paused then continued, "It seems...
she suspects that we know each other, but is still ignorant of the specifics of our relationship...
decide how to protect her..." The hand holding the cell phone tightened, and he hung up.
Raking his hand through his hair he laughed ruefully.
His laughter barely concealing the tears welling up in his eyes.
When the man entered, swet spots could be seen on his shoulder, his brow was also specked with rain.
This accentuated the profound darkness in his eyes, especially when he saw Nanxi, who was practically passed out drunk on the sofa, a hint of coldness seemed to flash across his eyes.
The people in the living room stayed quiet, silently watching him.
The man acknowledged them with a nod of his head.
"Thank you for looking after her, I'll take her away now." Seeing Lu Yinchu reach out languidly and lift Nanxi up from the sofa, addressing her softly, "Nanxi..." As Yang Su and Lan Qiqi replied woodenly, they looked his way.
Nanxi scrunches her eyebrows, her large black eyes flutter open in a haze.
She hums in affirmation, leaning towards Lu Yinchu's chest, muttering, "Lu Yinchu, I...
I'm not feeling well...".
A trace of moisture could be spotted in her eyes...
Those present were at a loss for words upon witnessing this scene! Lu Yinchu, cradling Nanxi's petite frame, asked, "What's troubling you? Tell me?" "Here..." Nanxi pointed to her heart, "Lu Yinchu, my heart aches..." Not far away, Li Weihuan's eyes fluttered and his trembling fingers holding a wine glass stopped moving. Bowing his head, he doesn't dare to raise it.
Lu Yinchu turned to look at everyone, then without a word, lifted Nanxi into his arms and headed for the door. The room quickly emptied of Lu Yinchu and Nanxi.
"It was me...
It waswho made her suffer!” Li Weihuan finished the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, tears he could no longer hold back.
Before ten o'clock that evening, Lu Yinchu brought a heavily inebriated Nanxi back hto Shuicheng Residential District.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe bathed Nanxi, changed her clothes, and fed her soup to sober her up. Despite his composed and proficient actions, his expression remained impassive.
Lu Yinchu had always been apprehensive about Nanxi running into Li Weihuan.
He knew them well: deep at Nanxi's heart, she bore considerable guilt and reluctance towards Li Weihuan.
And Li Weihuan wasn't exactly someone mature enough to keep his emotions in check.
If those two meet and linger together, it would only result in unnecessary pain.
There's no advantage to it at all! Nanxi was now his wife, and the possessiveness he felt towards Nanxi brooked no covetous gazes, even if that person was his own nephew.
In his realistic outlook, if a man and a woman can't fully let go of each other, even if only one of them fails to do so, this so-called friendship becomes unreliable.
Naturally, due to his special relationship with Li Weihuan, a complete severance of friendship was impossible. Neither could Li Weihuan fully let go of Nanxi before he matured.
But there was still time.
He was also constantly finding ways to let tdo its work.
He believed it was possible and he believed the three of them could do it.
When it cto love, his character had always been domineering.
As he once said, if he had found out that Nanxi's boyfriend wasn't m Weihuan back then, he wouldn't have hesitated to appear in front of Nanxi and try every possible means to win her heart. Having spent many years in the business world, he was never a completely good man nor could he uphold absolute virtue, especially when it cto Nanxi.
But Li Weihuan was not just anyone, they had grown up together and he didn't want to hurt him.
So in the beginning, he chose to hurt himself, support them, but he couldn't let go completely. Otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged for Han Shaojing to put Han Baobao by her side.
So, occasionally he pondered, when he decided to make a move a year and a half later and and appeared before Nanxi, it was indeed related to his disappointment in Li Weihuan's actions in the United States and his concerns about Nanxi getting married into the Li family. But in this, wasn't his heart's desire also at play?
He loved her, he found it impossible to restrain himself from wanting to learn her news, he found iimpossible to suppress his feelings of love for her, and he found it impossible to control his desire to possess her... From the moment he saw Nanxi's vibrant smile eight years ago, Nanxi had beca calamity he was destined to never escape.
