Chapter 621: Chapter 415 You Might Be The One Who Understands Me the Most_1

Han Qing’s body trembled. She smiled faintly, “What consequences? Ha! Do you think there could be anything more unbearable than losing him?”

The man furrowed his brows, his fingers clenching tight in his pocket. After a long pause, he finally said, “Fend for yourself!” Then, he stood up and left.

Han Qing continued to sit there, facing the vast expanse of sky outside the window. It seemed as if her heart had been hollowed out too.

What’s four years of silence or six years of waiting? They don’t really matter as long as there’s someone worth staying or waiting for. Then, life wouldn’t feel aimless.

Yinchu, I’ve poured out my heart to you, I’ve given it all. Why haven’t you ever looked back at me?

I love you, and that’s why you can hurt me.

But you love Nanxi. What should I do?

If Gu Nanxi did not appear, would I have become the most important woman in his life? Could I have been Lu Yinchu’s wife?

I would, wouldn’t I? I know it!

So, what’s wrong with trying to reclaim the position that was originally mine?

I am right, aren’t I?

Abruptly, her cellphone rang. It took Han Qing a good while to steady her emotions before picking it up. She raised an eyebrow, then answered the call, “Hello?”

“Hey, chick, Han Wengang, that’s your father, right?”

A stranger’s voice came through, frivolous and arrogant, which irritated Han Qing profoundly.noveldrama

Her eyes fluttered, she demanded, “Who are you?”

…

Nanxi hopped into the taxi, ready to go straight home. She felt exhausted and didn’t want to go anywhere except home.

She purchased some groceries from the supermarket near her home for dinner, not knowing if Lu Yinchu would be working late or entertaining.

After some thought, Nanxi dialed Lu Yinchu’s number. A swift answer on the other end left her feeling dazed and unprepared.

“You’re… not busy?”

“Hmm, not at the moment. Just taking a break… What’s up?” His voice was as soothing as jade, the sweetest music to her ears.

“Nothing!” Nanxi shook her head, “I just wanted to ask… Will you be home for dinner tonight?”

“Yes.” His laugh echoed through the phone. His voice warm and gentle as if softened by water, causing Nanxi’s heart to flutter, “How could I bear to let you eat alone?”

“…” Nanxi was silent, basking in this emotion. This was the feeling of loving Lu Yinchu and being loved in return. She loved this feeling.

Yes, she loves Lu Yinchu. Hence, she should trust him. She shouldn’t let anything falter her trust in him, no matter what.

As for the future, if she couldn’t hold onto Lu Yinchu, it would be her incompetence. The world may be unpredictable, but some things are eternal. She should believe in this eternity.

Nanxi bit her lip and finally spoke, “Lu Yinchu, actually, I have something I want to tell you…”

The man on the other end hummed to prompt her, “What is it?”

Nanxi informed him about her lunch with Han Qing earlier today.

“Lu Yinchu, I didn’t come to tattle on her. I just think it’s better to speak openly about certain things, rather than hiding them. That’s why I met her. I didn’t tell you because I felt that there were some things I could handle on my own. I can’t always grow under your protection. I need to learn to grow up myself, so don’t be mad at me, okay?”

Lu Yinchu’s response was measured, “I’m not mad, Nanxi. You did the right thing and handled it well. My Nanxi is growing up, that makes me happy.”

“Don’t talk as if I am still a child. I am only doing what I think is right,” Nanxi blushed.

“Yes, I know. Nanxi, remember, no matter what happens in the future, you only need to trust me. Assess other people and things based on your own experiences and wisdom. Don’t be fooled or let irrelevant people trouble or worry you, understand?”

“I understand, of course, I do! But Lu Yinchu, for many things, I still have my doubts and insecurities. I don’t know how to express them. I do want to trust you. Honestly, I never meant to doubt you. You have to trust me!”

Lu Yinchu sighed, “Nanxi, many things… I know you have doubts, and I haven’t explained them to you because they have little to do with me. But, I will give you a chance to get to know me. We have a long future ahead of us. You will be the one who understands me the most, just as I am the one who understands you the most.”

Nanxi pursed her lips, a light sense of melancholy in her heart was eased by Lu Yinchu’s words.

Actually, she wanted to give him a hug, wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him, whisper in his ear that she loves him…

But over the phone, her reservation and helplessness began to cast a shadow. She sighed to herself, feeling feeble and pathetic.

But she didn’t want Lu Yinchu to notice anything. She mustered her energy and said to the Lu Yinchu on the other end, “Okay, I understand. You get back to work! I… I’ll hang up!”

Lu Yinchu responded, “Hmm, hang up.”

…

In the corner near the supermarket, inside a white phantom car.

The man hung up the call, his gaze lingering on the petite woman hailing a cab nearby. His thin lips tightened, his gaze growing sharper.

Mo Yan, sitting in the front seat, frowned. He couldn’t help but say, “Boss Lu, there’s something I don’t quite understand.”

“What is it you don’t understand?”

Mo Yan said nothing.

The man laughed, “Are you thinking I should have stopped her from meeting Han Qing? But what purpose would that serve? Even if I banished Han Qing from H City forever, would it change anything? Can you guarantee after preventing an incident once, there won’t be a second or third time? Can you ensure after getting rid of one Han Qing, there won’t be a second or third Han Qing in the future?”

Lu Yinchu’s gaze sharpened, and a faint smile formed on his lips. But it didn’t reach his eyes.

“I don’t interfere because I’m very clear that the issue between her and me was never about Han Qing… Besides, if she trusts me, no matter what Han Qing says, she will trust me. If she doesn’t trust me, even if Han Qing says nothing, she will still doubt me.”

“But Han Qing might hurt Madam,” Mo Yan interjected.

“That’s okay, I’m here to protect her! As long as I’m around, I won’t let anyone have the chance to hurt her, no one!”

The man’s voice was grim, surprising Mo Yan. He asked, “So now? Does Madam trust you or not?”

“She does.” His voice was steady, but a trace of sadness momentarily flashed across his face, nearly imperceptible, “But, she doesn’t trust herself.”

[Apologies for the delay. I previously mentioned that I’d deal with Han Qing this month, but plans have changed. I can only deal with her after all secrets about the fishtail ring and pendant have been revealed. Please bear with me. Keep voting, trust me, Han Qing’s end is near.]
