CHAPTER 849: CHAPTER 565: MEETING ON THE PATH, LOVE YOU NANXI [ENDING 4]

Li Muyun is a career-driven woman. Having grown up witnessing the endless arguments between her parents, and having seen the husbands of wealthy women around her fooling around outside and fathering more and more illegitimate children... she honestly has little hope or expectations for love!

Similarly, she thinks love is trivial compared to a career; if you don’t have it, it’s no big deal!

Li Muyun is beautiful, one could even say exceptionally beautiful. Even celebrities and models would pale in comparison to her.

Because of her looks, she has been showered with love and affection since childhood, especially from the men around her.

She has become accustomed to this, always presenting herself as aloof and cold, a form of resistance and self-protection!

Men, she feels she doesn’t need them, or perhaps never will!

Living a life alone is just fine, and isn’t it impressive for a woman to reach the pinnacle of her career?

Li Muyun wants to be the kind of existence that amazes others!

Love and marriage might come, but they don’t belong to the current Li Muyun!

Yet, all these years, there has been a man who lingers around her like a shadow!

His name is Tu Yanming!

When did she first meet him?

Let’s see, she must not have been ten yet that year, at Lu Yinchu’s birthday party, her mother dressed her up like a princess, and she was indeed breathtaking.

In fact, from the first time Tu Yanming laid eyes on her, he kept calling her "Princess, Princess"!

At the time, she thought he was quite silly and didn’t pay much attention to him, but this person named Tu Yanming continued to appear in her life persistently.

And now, at twenty-seven, it has been seventeen years, such a long life and such a long encounter, and he has been chasing her for so long!

As for Tu Yanming, Li Muyun has no special feelings for him, she doesn’t particularly like him, but she doesn’t dislike him either.

Moreover, because Tu Yanming often texts or calls her, reminding her to eat on time, sleep on time, not to be too tired, and to take care of herself... she finds it quite comforting!

And how is she towards Tu Yanming?

Is she good?

No, not good, very bad!

She can choose not to answer his calls because she knows he won’t get mad and will continue to call back.

She has almost never replied to his texts, but he still sends them daily, without interruption.

How many years has it been? It seems, since the moment she got her first cell phone!

Suddenly, she remembered that her first phone was seemingly a gift from Tu Yanming!

It has always been like this over the years!

Sometimes, Li Muyun truly feels her heart is made of iron, and Tu Yanming has witnessed, over seventeen years, that some stones simply can’t be warmed up, no matter what you do!

Just like her!

Initially, she didn’t care much about it and always felt that her life wouldn’t fluctuate much because of Tu Yanming’s existence!

Because her gaze never lingered on him, but reality proved her wrong!

In recent days, the temperature in H City has dropped significantly. Tu Yanming used to remind her via text to dress warmly and prevent catching a cold, but now, he doesn’t!

Because he needs to care for another woman, one who is gentler and more considerate than she is, and who treats him better!

The feeling of discomfort is real.

Frequently picking up her phone to check the message inbox is also real.

Suddenly recalling the small jokes he once told over the phone during meetings and getting distracted is also true!

These are things she can’t and doesn’t intend to deny!

After ending the call with Lu Yinchu, Li Muyun was aimlessly driving around the city streets alone, not knowing where to go, while at the bus stop by the roadside, someone was waiting for the bus!

Recalling a winter from the past, she couldn’t have lunch because she lost her wallet, and Tu Yanming, after finding out, left his work and came a long way to bring her food.

At that time, she and he sat near the bus stop sign. It seemed Tu Yanming had just graduated and started working, interning at the grassroots level in the Tu Family company, while she was still in high school.

It seemed to be a busy time for both of them. Yet that year, they both left their work and studies and spent the entire afternoon away!

They went to many places, practically riding all the city buses, getting off stop by stop, walking street by street...

In the end, she forgot what they bought, but the feeling of rebellion at that time was indeed unforgettable!

...

When Lu Yinchu returned home, he received a call from Tu Yanming. Concern from Tu Yanming was understandable, and Lu Yinchu could empathize.

Lu Yinchu said that Li Muyun is a person with a strong sense of self-esteem, and after being challenged by Tu Yanming’s so-called girlfriend, her mood must be exceptionally foul!

Especially as she has already been in a pretty bad mood these past few days!

Under this kind of influence, Lu Yinchu’s persuasion works doubly well!

At least it could give Li Muyun the space to re-evaluate and understand her feelings for Tu Yanming, discovering her true emotions...

Tu Yanming frowned, "But if she doesn’t have me in her heart, or if her feelings for me aren’t strong enough to make her come to me, what then?"

Lu Yinchu didn’t answer but asked, "I remember your Tu Group has a year-end thank-you banquet the day after tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, we do! Why?" Tu Yanming furrowed his brows, a bit puzzled.

...

The Lu Family started formally preparing for the wedding, and some gossip media were already itching to move!

But Lu Yinchu kept a lid on things, so no one dared to expose anything!

Offending a prominent person like him?

Unless one doesn’t want to survive in this city!

And at that moment, Lu Yinchu finally got to see the wedding dress he had only seen in photos before; it looked even more dazzling in person!

Nanxi said, "Wearing this wedding dress, how many girls would envy and admire!"

Lu Yinchu laughed and wrapped his arm around her, "You should say how many girls would envy and admire you for having a husband like me who loves and spoils you so much!"

"Hmm!" Nanxi blushed slightly, "Lu Yinchu, you don’t have to be so narcissistic!"

Nanxi tried on the wedding dress.

Less than four months pregnant, Nanxi’s belly had a slight bulge, but the design of this wedding dress was clever, as if the abdomen had specifically been left with space. Even though she had almost no belly now, even if there was some, it seems she could still fit into it!

"So... how does it look?" Nanxi asked somewhat nervously.

Lu Yinchu approached, kissed her lightly on the lips, then whispered ambiguously in her ear, "I’ve already had a reaction. Do you think it looks good or not?"

Nanxi’s face turned red, and she pushed him away, "You rogue!"

Lu Yinchu chuckled, stopped teasing her, and wrapped his arm around her waist and said, "Alright, beautiful, very beautiful, unbelievably so! I finally understand why back then I took one look at you and was captivated! Probably because I foresaw that you’d grow into a little beauty!"

Nanxi’s heart swelled warmly, but she maintained a serious front, clearing her throat and said, "Hmph~~ Lu Yinchu, you finally admit you’re infatuated with my beauty!"
