Chapter 582: Chapter 388: A Man Named Lu Yinchu, Who Loves Her to His Bones_1 In the room, Nanxi was leaning on the bed hugging her quilt, her eyes occasionally wandering towards the balcony.
At this moment, the man was only dressed in a fluffy bathrobe, his hair was still damp, his strong arm was holding a mobile phone, standing there. Even his mere silhouette was so charming that it was hard to look directly at him.
Nanxi's heart was in a mess, mainly because she was wondering what Lu Yinchu and Li Weihuan were talking about, especially considering he was avoiding her.
Lu Yinchu's phone call didn't take long, roughly about five minutes before he ended it. But he didn't return to the bedroom immediately. Instead, he took out a stick of tobacco from the box he had taken out earlier, lit it up and started smoking.

Nanxi's eyes flickered as her sense of unease deepened. She wanted to approach him to ask what was going on, but what should she ask? Li Weihuan, Lu Yinchu, the subject of the conversation between this pair of uncle and nephew - was avoiding her. Maybe it was about her! When Lu Yinchu returned to the bedroom, Nanxi was almost laying on the bed looking like she was about to fall asleep. As she felt him lift her body, she opened her eyes to see the man's handsand gentle eyes. A faint smell of tobacco filled her nostrils. She reached out to touch his neck and called out his name, "Lu Yinchu..." "Hmm, I'm here," the man leaned over to wrap her petite body close, reaching for the quilt to cover them. As he moved her to lie back down, she tumbled into his embrace, whispering against his warm chest, "Goodnight!" In the dim light, the man's lips formed a faint smile. He bent over and kissed her cheek, "Goodnight, Nanxi!" The next morning, Nanxi was woken up by her mobile phone ringing. Instinctively reaching for the spot next to her and finding it empty, it was clear that Lu Yinchu was already up.
She sat up, picked up her mobile phone and squinted at it.
The call was from Liao Feifei. Feifei said, "Nanxi, didn't you mention wanting to work at our magazine agency? Now, there's a chance..." At the breakfast table, Nanxi was enjoying Lu's self-made gourmet food while occasionally glancing at the elegant and handsman sitting across from her, contemplating how to broach the subject...
After finishing most of his meal, the man placed his cutlery down, took a napkin to wipe his mouth and hands, and looked at her, “Is there something you want to say? You can say it now while I'm in a good mood." Nanxi: "..." She gently coughs. So, he had noticed! "Well... this is it, Lu Yinchu, I've been working in your company for a month and a half now, you letstart at the grassroots level, not showing any bias or favoritism which I appreciate. However, each tI attempt to work hard and strive for a promotion or raise, a voice inside my head interrupts: Nanxi, are you silly? This is your husband's company, which is practically the sas your own. Why are you working so hard? Even if you get promoted or receive a raise one day, it wouldn't seem legitimate. Isn't it nice to just be the wife of the CEO?" Nanxi coughed lightly, continuing, "Naturally, I am aware that KING Group has excellent facilities and benefits. The canteen food is particularly good, not to mention the generous bonuses. Initially, I was genuinely excited to join. However, upon joining, my perceived identity completely changed and I..." "Get to the point!" Lu Yinchu interrupted her calmly but sternly.
"Lu Yinchu, um... I... I want to change jobs!" "...." Lu Yinchu.
Near KING Group, as Nanxi was getting out of the car, Lu Yinchu pulled her back, "You're going to resign soon, can't you accompanyto the company?" Originally, she had said that she would pretend not to know him at work to avoid any suspicion. But now, she would soon no longer be a company employee, was there still a need to do so?! Nanxi shook her head, "No, I haven't been going to work much recently, and the rumors in the company are not pleasant. If I resign now and take the boss's car, you must understand, among my colleagues, I'm a married woman..." Nanxi did not continue, but Lu Yinchu should understand. A married woman seen in the CEO's car, especially when the CEO is considered unmarried, and combined with previous rumors of her miscarriage, resulted in unspeakable gossips! Eventually, Lu Yinchu compromised, telling her, "Once you've completed the procedures, givea call. I'll have Mo Yan pick you up. Also, there's no hurry in starting at the magazine agency, take a break at home. In a few days, I'm going to be away on a business trip. I'll take you to the hot spring to rest and recuperate." "Hot springs?" Nanxi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I understand." Nanxi got off the car and watched as Lu Yinchu's vehicle drove away. She took a deep breath, then set off on foot towards KING Group.
It was a 5-minute walk, which was quite short, but she deliberately slowed her pace, contemplating the difference in her feelings now and from her previous walks in this route.
"Hello, Ms. Gu!" A rush of bike bell ringing echoed along with a clear male voice.
Nanxi hesitated before turning her head around. She saw a face that was refined yet sunny, and it stunned her for a moment. It was that young security guard! Nanxi remembered as it seemed he said his nwas Xia Yu, with the courtesy nSanlu or something... Nanxi smiled awkwardly! "Ms. Gu, why haven't you been coming to work these days?" Xia Yu looked at her, a trace of loss flickering in his eyes, but it was hardly noticeable! Nanxi forced a smile, "Oh... well, I had things to do, so I took leave!" "Oh" Xia Yu walked alongside with Nanxi, pushing his bike. He said, "Just now, I saw you get off Mr. Lu's car, I wasn't sure, but it seemed like Mr. Lu's car. You and Mr. Lu..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNanxi squinted at him, and Xia Yu quickly waved off, "Oh no, Ms. Gu, please don't misunderstand. I'm not thinking of any mess, I guess you and Mr. Lu must have a close relationship, but not the kind you are thinking about... I think you two might be... husband and wife!" "Last time, I saw that cute little girl who looks a lot like Mr. Lu. She called you sister-in-law, besides this morning..." Xia Yu explained.
Nanxi blinked, not knowing what to say. This young security guard, his perception is really good! Xia Yu scratched his head and continued, "But Ms. Gu, don't worry, I won't tell anyone! You're a good girl, and Mr.
Lu is a very successful man. I think you two are a great match!" "...Thank you!" Aside from saying thank you, Nanxi didn't know what else to say.
Soon, they arrived under the KING Group building. Xia Yu bid Nanxi goodbye, saying he needed toget ready for his shift of he would be late. The man had such a sunny smile. His bike moved and carried the street wind with him, as he headed for the underground garage. The breath of youth was strong. This reminded Nanxi of Li Weihuan, Zhang Mu, and Bai Yuchuan. It seemed just a fleeting moment; she felt they had all grown up, and so had she.
Exhaling a deep breath, Nanxi gathered her thoughts, lifted her head to gaze at the towering skyscraper. The sunlight was glaring, she shaded her eyes with her hand.
What peeked through her slender, out soft fingers was a world that had once been out of her reachC O M e Previously, she wouldn't have dared to set foot in that world, nor would she have been curious about the people within. But now, she found it familiar and warm. All because there was a man in there who loved her to the bones, Lu Yinchu!
