Chapter 247 I Was Counter-Taken by the Male Lead (35)
Qin Nuan was quite surprised to learn that Xu Xi had returned to City A. Previously, when Meng's father had suffered a stroke and was lying in the hospital, this young lady had no intention of returning. Why was she so eager to come back now?
Suddenly, Qin Nuan couldn't help but have many conspiracy theories. Fearing that something might happen, Qin Nuan sent people to keep an eye on Xu Xi as soon as she got off the plane.
When Qin Nuan learned that she had gone to intercept Jiang Rou and Xie Nan, she felt a chill in her heart. She had no idea that Xu Xi had a crush on Xie Nan in high school.
Qin Nuan assumed that someone was deliberately instructing Xu Xi because they saw her frequently interacting with Jiang Rou. After thinking for a moment, she confirmed that the "person with ulterior motives" was Meng Heng.
Qin Nuan thought to herself with sarcasm, "Meng's father has been lying in the hospital for so long, and neither his biological son nor his adopted daughter has visited him even once. What a fitting end for him."
Thinking back to how Meng Heng had been buzzing around her like a fly ever since her father's stroke, Qin Nuan would have swatted him to death right now if it weren't for the fact that the later scenes required him as a member of the Meng family.
As for Xu Xi, now that she's back, she should fulfill her filial duties. The Meng family has raised her for so many years; they can't raise an ungrateful child.
Lou Shu pulled Xu Xi out, completely ignoring Xu Xi's struggles. After walking a distance from the company gate, Lou Shu felt pain in her arm and reflexively let go of Xu Xi's hand.
"what"
Lou Shu cried out in alarm, raising her hand to see a horrifying red mark on her arm, the wound burning with pain.
"Lou Shu, what are you doing? Why did you pull me out here? Why won't you let me speak? Xie Nan definitely remembers me. That woman doesn't look like a good person."
Lou Shu felt the pain in her arm and listened to Xu Xi's accusations. She began to reflect on herself. Lou Shu, is this the best friend you thought you had?
Upon recognizing who she was, Lou Shu's expression turned cold. She scoffed and spoke without any politeness:
"So what if Xie Nan remembers you? What does it mean? And who are you anyway?"
Lou Shu's three consecutive questions left Xu Xi speechless. She wanted to say something, but Lou Shu didn't give her a chance to speak.
"Is this a greeting from an old classmate, or do you have impure intentions and want to become a mistress who interferes in other people's relationships and is despised by everyone?"
Hearing her words, Xu Xi's face turned deathly pale. She looked at Lou Shu in disbelief. Seeing this, Lou Shu sighed inwardly and softened her tone:
"Xu Xi, Xie Nan already has a girlfriend. It's obvious to everyone how good their relationship is. There's nothing wrong with liking someone, but your current behavior is wrong. Think about it carefully."
After saying that, Lou Shu left. That was all she had to say; whether or not people listened was no longer her concern.
Xu Xi remained where she was, muttering to herself in a daze:
"Why, why can't you like me? Why are you with someone else?"
As she spoke, her gaze gradually became obsessive:
"Should I give up? What if I refuse?"
For Xie Nan, Xu Xi was a strange person, as if there was something in the dark that bound him to Xu Xi.
These things are so mysterious and elusive that they are completely incomprehensible to people, which is why Xie Nan ignores Xu Xi.
He never expected that Xu Xi would come looking for him on her own initiative. When Xie Nan saw her face, he could almost see Jiang Rou lying in a pool of blood, and his heart was filled with hatred.
Xie Nan always acts decisively. Xu Xi, who was being held captive in the hospital by Qin Nuan and unable to leave, received a devastating piece of news at this time—she had been abandoned by the training company.
After her message went unanswered, Xu Xi could only stay obediently at the hospital with Meng's parents. It wasn't that she had given up on her fate, but that Meng's parents could help her.
After ensuring that Xu Xi wouldn't bother him again, Xie Nan stopped paying attention to her.
Because it was summer vacation, there were no classes at school, but Jiang Rou was still attending classes. Her time off from classes was completely taken up by Xie Nan, who was very clingy, so she had a very fulfilling day.
Everyone in the company knows that their boss, Mr. Xie, has a girlfriend. They've never seen what she looks like, but she has a lovely voice and a good personality. Whenever she comes, Mr. Xie's mood improves for the whole day, and they get scolded less often.
Xie Nan has indeed been living a blissful life these days. She has someone to accompany her to work, and when she is tired, she can look up and see her lover. The two of them are in the same room, not disturbing each other. Just a glance at each other can relieve a lot of physical and mental fatigue.
But the happy times were short-lived. In order to hone Jiang Rou, Xu Yanli took her to audition for film crews during the summer vacation, a time of leisure.
Xu Yanli takes Jiang Rou to audition for a fantasy film. Jiang Rou plays a goddess who sacrifices herself to save the world. Although she doesn't have many scenes, she is the first character to appear. If she performs well, she will definitely be outstanding.
Since there weren't many scenes, all the scenes were filmed in about a week. As soon as Jiang Rou stepped out of the film set, she saw that familiar figure.
"Happy wrap-up, big star!"
Xie Nan smiled gently, holding a bouquet of flowers.
Jiang Rou looked pleasantly surprised:
"Weren't you on a business trip? How come you have time to pick me up?"
The person in front of her was wearing a suit for a business dinner, his hair was a little messy, and there was a faint bluish tinge under his eyes. Jiang Rou understood immediately.
This person probably rushed back overnight, and likely didn't even get any sleep before coming to pick her up.
Jiang Rou reached out and touched the dark circles under his eyes, her face full of heartache. Xie Nan saw this and took her outstretched hand, his voice gentle:
"I miss you so much, I want to see you right away, just thinking about it makes me feel less tired."
Xu Yanli was left speechless by the display of affection, thinking to himself that young people in love were truly different, and then stepped forward to remind him:
"This is not a place for you to date; there are too many people around."
Hearing this, Jiang Rou felt a little embarrassed. After saying goodbye to Xu Yanli, the two of them left.
Xie Nan was indeed exhausted. He had been working overtime for a week and had been on a business trip for two days. He hadn't slept for two nights in a row in order to see Jiang Rou as soon as possible. As soon as he returned to his rented room, Jiang Rou ordered him to rest.
Xie Nan slept from dawn till dusk. When he woke up, he was a little stunned to see the dark outside the window. After a good night's sleep, Xie Nan felt refreshed.
As soon as I opened the door, I smelled the aroma of food, and the next second I saw Jiang Rou walking out of the kitchen.
"You're awake. Wash up and come eat. I'll let you try my cooking."
Xie Nan took the groceries from Jiang Rou's hands and wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but Jiang Rou forced him to wash up. Helpless, Xie Nan could only speed up his washing up.
Looking at the person in the mirror, Xie Nan was somewhat dazed. How could a person smile so happily?
Xie Nan pushed open the door and looked at the warm yellow light in the living room. His thoughts drifted away. The cushions on the sofa were chosen by him and Jiang Rou together, the tableware on the dining table were bought by them together, and the ingredients for cooking were selected by them together.
Even the clothes they were wearing were matching outfits they had chosen. Xie Nan could even imagine what Jiang Rou was saying when these things happened.
For the first time, he clearly realized that he was no longer alone, and that when he met someone he loved, life could be a verb.
