Chapter 581: Chapter 582: A Sudden Phone Call

Qin Nuan had already keenly sensed something wrong with him. She didn’t even have time to put on shoes; she ran over and asked anxiously, "What’s wrong?"

While speaking, the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of the noticeable words on the phone screen: "He Xing."

Her complexion turned pale in an instant, and her lips began to tremble, "He Xing has found you so quickly?"

"With his abilities, it’s quite normal." Yi Lixing made a silencing gesture and then picked up the call, "Hello, President He, how do you find the time to call me?"

Men always have their pride. If Qin Nuan hadn’t run over and seen the call, Yi Lixing probably wouldn’t have had the guts to pick it up; you might say he was forced into a corner. If you listened carefully, you could even hear his voice shaking as he spoke.

But at this moment, Qin Nuan felt as if she’d been struck by lightning. Where would she have the mood to analyze the tone of Yi Lixing’s voice? She just sat dumbly on the sofa, staring blankly at Yi Lixing.

Two minutes later, maybe even less, Yi Lixing hung up the phone.

Qin Nuan immediately asked nervously, "What’s going on, what does He Xing want from you?"

"He didn’t say on the phone." In front of his woman, Yi Lixing’s male ego resurfaced, and he said with forced calm, "He wants to meet to discuss something. You just wait for me at home."

Having said that, Yi Lixing walked toward the bedroom, probably to change his clothes.

Qin Nuan still sat on the sofa, but her gaze followed Yi Lixing tirelessly, as if she wanted to etch his image deeply into her memory.

At that moment, or perhaps at many moments, Yi Lixing was the only one in Qin Nuan’s heart. She had thought countless times of giving up her revenge for Yi Lixing, but he said they couldn’t compromise with this dirty world, so she stopped mentioning giving up on revenge.

In just a few minutes, Yi Lixing had changed his clothes. He stood at the doorway and beckoned Qin Nuan, "Xiao Nuan, come help me fix my hair. I can’t do it myself."

Perhaps because Yi Lixing had been working in the Public Relations Department since graduating from school, he was very strict about his image. Whenever he went out, he had to be suited and booted, looking handsome, polite, and scented.

Qin Nuan herself was beautiful and had always been a stickler for good looks; although Yi Lixing’s facial features were ordinary, his persistence in fitness and an above-average sense of style in clothing made him quite a handsome man.

Though he didn’t compare to the likes of He Xing and Su Cheng, he was far better than a profligate son like Xia Cheng.

Qin Nuan, beautiful since childhood, knew in her heart that she did not belong in the same world as the He Xing and Su Cheng and deeply scorned people like Xia Cheng.

So, when she got together with Yi Lixing, it was indeed more for benefit than affection, which is why she was willing to follow Yi Lixing’s advice to stoke the discord between Xia Guoxiong and his son, Xia Cheng.

But women are emotional creatures; the longer they’re together, the deeper their feelings grow.

Now, in Qin Nuan’s heart, Yi Lixing had become an important person. Secretly, she even hoped that after everything was over, she could marry Yi Lixing.

At this thought, Qin Nuan’s movements became gentler. Her slender, ivory fingers moved through Yi Lixing’s hair.

She thought silently to herself that his hair was thick and coarse; he probably wouldn’t be at risk of balding, unlike Xia Guoxiong, who was only in his fifties yet already balding at the front.

After using almost half a bottle of hair gel, Qin Nuan finally got Yi Lixing’s hairstyle right. It was his usual spirited style.

Yi Lixing looked at himself from left to right, and finally nodded with satisfaction, "Xiao Nuan, you’re really good at this."

He grabbed a bottle of men’s cologne and sprayed himself liberally, then with his phone and car keys in hand, he walked straight toward the door, "I’m off. You can stay at home or go shopping."

Qin Nuan quickly followed him to the door, "Today is New Year’s Eve. I’ll stay home and prepare our reunion dinner for when you return."

"Okay." Yi Lixing wasn’t particularly invested in the New Year’s spirit, but he still hugged Qin Nuan and gave her a kiss before leaving, "I’ll try to come back early."

He said it as easily as if he were asking, "Have you eaten?" That sentence had become a programmed response, etched into his bones.

However, Qin Nuan was especially touched. She tiptoed and kissed Yi Lixing’s cheek, and seeing his changed expression, she quickly added, "I didn’t wear lipstick, don’t worry."

Yi Lixing then smiled. He touched Qin Nuan’s hair, opened the door, and left without looking back.

Qin Nuan watched Yi Lixing until he entered the elevator before returning. Unfortunately, until the moment Yi Lixing stepped into the elevator, he had not looked back at her, as if unaware that Qin Nuan was watching him from behind.

Qin Nuan didn’t mind, though. She closed the door, changed into a set of house clothes, casually tied up her long hair, and then, donning an apron, she dove into the kitchen.

Since... since her sister went to that place, Qin Nuan became alone.

It was detestable that she wasn’t there at that time; otherwise, she would never have watched her sister being sent to a place of disrepute.

But by the time she returned, everything was already decided, and with her capabilities, she couldn’t change the status quo. All she could do was lie low, looking for an opportunity, a way out.

It was in such circumstances that she met Yi Lixing.

One could say Yi Lixing was the light that appeared in the darkest moment of her life, illuminating her otherwise rugged path.

It was also because of Yi Lixing’s encouragement that even though she felt disgusting enough to vomit every time she saw Xia Guoxiong and Xia Cheng, she could still smile sweetly at them and manipulate them in conversation, playing them like pieces on a chessboard.

But no matter when, no matter how times change, the fact that Qin Nuan had once simultaneously dated a father and his son, that was an indelible shame.

As a result, whenever Yi Lixing mentioned anyone from the Xia Family, Qin Nuan wished she could crawl into a hole.

Speaking of which, it was as if fate had shown her mercy; the child in Qin Nuan’s belly was gone.

Actually, as soon as she found out she was pregnant, she had wanted to get rid of the child but was stopped by Yi Lixing, who advised her to use it as leverage against Xia Guoxiong and his son.

Later, when the elder Mr. He was kidnapped, she was raped, which was another shadow over her heart. She couldn’t report the perpetrator because it had been her own scheme, but the unwanted consequence was lost too. She was relieved that she no longer needed to endure nightmares every night.

Honestly, without Yi Lixing’s help, even if Qin Nuan resented the Xia Family members to her core, she would never have thought to get such a large compensation with an empty womb.
