Chapter 727: Chapter 487: Nanxi, I am here! [11 updates]_2

But then she thought about it, if she could ruin the relationship between Gu Nanxi and Lu Yinchu, wouldn’t she have a better chance to rise in prominence?

Upon thinking this, she decided that going along with Han Qing’s plan once would do no harm!

"Miss Ni, long time no see!"

Ni Xuexue was lost in her thoughts when suddenly a man’s voice echoed softly.

Ni Xuexue was startled and looked up at the man, "Ah, reporter Hu, you finally arrived! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!"

...

Li Weihuan followed a typical nine-to-five schedule, but today he had drunk a bit too much at a lunch meeting with his superiors and was told by the director to leave at 4:30 for rest.

A colleague patted his shoulder, "Young Li, our director gives you a lot of respect!"

Li Weihuan gave a silent smile.

Was it respect for him? Not exactly. It was respect for the Lu Family, for Lu Yinchu. In reality, anyone in the office who was aware of his identity would treat him with a certain deference which made his work relatively easy.

Having grabbed his phone, cigarettes, and lighter, Li Weihuan left the Land Bureau.

He never expected that as soon as he left the office, someone would block his way.

Li Weihuan looked up at the brightly dressed woman in front of him, slightly frowning.

...

Lun Ying had been having a persistent eye twitch since the morning. Xiaoxin had called earlier to say Han Qing’s father had a car accident. He survived after a day and night of emergency treatment, but his right leg was now paralyzed.

No other news for now.

But why did her eye twitch persist? She was feeling uneasy.

As she left the resting room, she ran into Gui Xi. _{free.webn\ove(l)(.)c(o)m}

Seeing that Lun Ying’s complexion wasn’t good, Gui Xi quickly asked, "What’s wrong, are you not feeling well?"

Lun Ying shook her head, "No, I’m fine."

"If you’re not feeling well, go home and rest. The hospital isn’t busy today."

Even though Lun Ying initially wanted to reject the offer, she finally agreed due to her worry, "Alright, thank you, Doctor Gui!"

Gui Xi smiled, "No need to be polite with me!"

Lun Ying smiled back without saying much.

...

Nanxi didn’t expect Li Weihuan to come looking for her.

As it was time to finish work, Nanxi and Liao Feifei had planned to go shopping. They were soon to go to the mountains for an interview and needed to buy some essential equipment.

Just as she stepped out, she bumped into Li Weihuan.

Liao Feifei hadn’t seen Li Weihuan for a long time. Given how their relationships had shifted, she found the encounter quite awkward.

After exchanging greetings and a few words, Liao Feifei tactfully excused herself.

Li Weihuan tossed his cigarette butt on the ground and turned to Nanxi, "Let’s walk and talk!"

Nanxi blinked and nodded.

...

Wandering the streets with Li Weihuan used to be something Nanxi found sweet and romantic.

Li Weihuan used to frequently take Nanxi to the small diner near the school gate. Sometimes Bai Yuchuan and Yang Su would join them, but that never stopped them from holding hands while strolling down the street afterwards.

Li Weihuan’s fingers were soft and slender, although sometimes cool to the touch.

But Nanxi had to admit that these hands had supported her through many days in the past.

Now, as they strolled casually on the street, they were not holding hands anymore.

Li Weihuan was leading, Nanxi following. They walked in silence for a long time.

When they reached the busy market, Li Weihuan suddenly spoke, "Let’s buy some things."

Nanxi was taken aback, but then nodded, "Okay."

It was rush hour, the market was bustling with crowds, becoming almost unbearable.

At first, Nanxi had some difficulty keeping up with Li Weihuan, but she managed.

As they moved deeper into the market with more people around, Nanxi was bumped by someone. When she regained her balance, Li Weihuan was nowhere in sight.

Nanxi paused and called out, "Weihuan?"

There was no response.

While pushing her way forward, Nanxi called out again, "Weihuan?" Her voice was louder this time.

Still, there was no response.

Nanxi felt a tinge of sadness. Standing there, she looked around for the familiar figure while repeatedly calling out his name, "Weihuan, Weihuan..."

From a small store nearby, Li Weihuan was watching Nanxi. Seeing her in a daze less than ten meters away from him, his eyes filled with tears...

This was Nanxi, the Nanxi who once belonged solely to him.

This was Nanxi, the one he thought would belong to him forever.

Her presence was ingrained in his heart, growing deeper with time, like a mole on his soul. Every heartbeat deepened its color.

He thought if he ever lost her, it would feel like losing his heart, that he would surely die.

But that day had indeed come, and here he was, still living with such pointless courage.

What to do, Nanxi...

Only today, I’ve realized that I still love you so much.

The reason I live is still because of you.

I’ve been hoping, hoping for the day when you can return to my side.

Just like before, become the Nanxi who belongs only to me.

...

Nanxi was still calling out, looking...

But why couldn’t she find him, where had Li Weihuan gone?

Feeling anxious, she was about to take out her phone to call him when a hand suddenly grabbed hers...

A deep and firm voice echoed in her ear: "Nanxi, I’m here."

...

I am here, waiting for you, always!

I am here, as long as you turn back, you’ll see me!

Nanxi, I am here, loving you as I always have!
