“I ditched the banquet just because I got your call. You believe me now, don’t you?”
Lu Jinbei suddenly turned around to look at Bai Xiaonian, his affectionate look making Bai Xiaonian want to vomit.
She furrowed her eyebrows. Without caring enough to throw some sarcasm at him, she clumsily turned off the call with Lin Nuan and hurriedly called her back again.
Lin Nuan took out her phone as she was getting out of the car. She noticed it was Bai Xiaonian calling and answered the phone. “Xiaonian…”
“Nuan, did you know whose banquet it was that Wang Quan is taking you to? The Fu Family! Fu Huai’an’s family! Lu Jinbei told me that he ditched this banquet just to see me today!”
Lin Nuan suddenly froze as she was pushing the car door. She recalled how Fu Huai’an’s assistant Xiao Lu had mentioned an elder having a birthday party that morning.
As she got out of the car, Lin Nuan shut the door and said to Bai Xiaonian, “I know…”
She hung up the phone. Wang Quan already locked the car doors and walked next to Lin Nuan. He said, “Lin Nuan, I need to mention something to you. My mother is good at keeping secrets. She was only willing to reveal what I needed to know after I told her you were my girlfriend. You don’t need to worry if I’d do anything over the line to you, just keep in mind if my mother asks how long we’ve been together, you can just say half a year—to make sure we don’t get exposed on the spot!”
Lin Nuan took a deep breath and nodded.
She clutched her purse and looked towards the vast number of luxury cars parked in the manor. The pressure came as she thought of Fu Huai’an.
She entered Fu Huai’an’s mansion together with Wang Qian. To keep up with appearances, Wang Quan put his hand around Lin Nuan’s waist but didn’t touch it at all. He pointed towards the direction of his mother, and they prepared to make their way through the crowd to bring Lin Nuan before her. Lin Nuan nodded as she felt sweat forming on her forehead.
Bai Jinyu was holding a cup and chatting with the other guests. He took a casual glance across the room and accidentally noticed Lin Nuan walking in their direction, being half-held by a guest. He nearly spat the wine out of his mouth as his eyes grew wide.
He nudged his elbow at Lu Jinnan next to him and lowered his voice. “Brother Lu… is that Lin Nuan? Why is she with that thing?”
Wang Quan’s father’s Aspiring Green Group focused on manufacturing concrete and other mixtures. In the previous two years, it had only begun to enter the field of real estate. The companies engaged in construction inevitably had to interact with the Wang family. Since Wang Quan’s mother was the deputy director of the Supervising Station and was most likely going to get a higher position by the end of that year, there were a considerable amount of people trying to suck up to the Wangs.
The reason Bai Jinyu used the word “thing” to describe Wang Quan was that Wang Quan was never a decent player. There were many female models who nearly lost their lives after meeting him. A year ago, Wang Quan nearly broke a semi-famous female celebrity, and it received a lot of press. Somehow it managed to dissipate, and Wang Quan was able to have a decently peaceful year afterward.
Lu Jinnan turned around.
Sure enough…
He saw Lin Nuan holding her purse, looking lady-like as she let Wang Quan hold her waist and walk her towards them. Wang Quan occasionally lowered his head and whispered in her ear. Lin Nuan furrowed her eyebrows and tried to avoid him, revealing a forced smile.
“Hey… Chief Lu!” Wang Quan looked up and saw Lu Jinnan walking in his direction. He smiled and greeted him.
Lin Nuan followed Wang Quan’s gaze and saw Lu Jinnan and Bai Jinyu standing together in suits. She suddenly felt her heart leap out her chest, feeling guilty like never before.
