618 Is It Still Going to Take Very Long?

Ah Zhan's tone toward Lin Nuan could be considered that of pleading.

Lin Nuan looked at Ah Zhan with a gaze so clear that it made those who looked into her eyes feel that she could see through the filth in their hearts.

Ah Zhan's ears turned a little hot, and he unconsciously lowered his gaze, mumbling in a soft voice as if he was speaking to himself, "Our boss is really… very pitiful."

Ah Zhan remembered that ever since his boss's entire family had died and Shi Hanmei had left this world, their boss had never smiled again.

Although Li Muyang had gotten everything that he had wanted in the past, his body ended up in this state. His eyes remained empty, and it was as if he was all alone in this world that was bustling with activity. He lost his heart and soul and was left with only a shell.

Ever since he met Lin Nuan, their boss's eyes gradually regained the colors of his high-spirited days. Ah Zhan really hoped to be able to see that boss from the past, young and arrogant. Back then, Li Muyang looked down on everything from a great height, like a supreme ruler that had everything under his control.

Ah Zhan felt that if Lin Nuan could stay by their boss's side, it was likely… their boss's mental trauma and body would both gradually recover!

"Ah Zhan, there are a lot of people in this world who are pitiful. Let's put things this way. Your boss is a ruler that stands at the very top of the food chain. He has enjoyed authority that ordinary people are unable to enjoy, so he'll have to withstand much more pain than what others have to. This is normal! It all comes down to what kind of choices he makes in his life…"

Lin Nuan wasn't clear about the internal strife of Li Muyang's family.

However, if Li Muyang hadn't yearned for power and wanted to assume the top position amidst his family's internal strife, how could he have ended up in a situation where he was poisoned, his body was collapsing, and he had lost his loved one?

This was his choice, and these were also the consequences that he should bear.

The sweetness and bitterness, and the glory and difficulty in this world complemented each other. Lin Nuan had always been clear about this!

It was also because of this that Lin Nuan hoped that she could lead the most ordinary life with Fu Huai'an.

She was a woman with a very small heart. She didn't have many great desires and didn't yearn for money, authority, or glory. She only hoped to have a stable and peaceful life where Fu Huai'an and herself could be each other's support.

Take Shi Hanchu as an example. He was a top star and the winner of the Best Actor Award. People could only see the glory that he enjoyed on the surface, but how many of them could really understand the despair that he felt when he broke his back while filming and was almost unable to stand up? Who knew if he would be tortured by pain from his old wounds on rainy days after he got back up on his feet after enduring physiotherapy…

These were things that Lin Nuan had privately chatted with Shi Hanchu about when they were filming the previous program.

These questions should have been asked during the show, but Shi Hanchu shook his head and said… what the audience and fans wanted to see was a Shi Hanchu that was a legend, and that a legend shouldn't be plagued by despair and sickness.

Thereafter, Shi Hanchu would always gain new injuries here and there each time he filmed.

Shi Hanchu said that if he were given a chance to remake his decision, he would rather choose to be an unknown nobody than to be covered in illness and pain.

Ah Zhan looked at Lin Nuan and wanted to say something more when he realized that he seemed to have been convinced by her. He felt that what Lin Nuan said seemed to make a lot of sense.

Looking at the two faint dimples on Lin Nuan's pale face when she smiled, which appeared like the brightest colors amidst a lush stretch of greenery, Ah Zhan panicked a little and lowered his head, not saying anything.

Lin Nuan stood on the spot, looking at the flamingos standing in the water, anxiously waiting for Li Muyang to let Ah Zhan bring her to meet Gu Qingcheng.

After a very long time, seeing that Li Muyang still hadn't informed Ah Zhan to bring her over, Lin Nuan couldn't help but ask, "Is it still going to take very long?"

"Our boss has some other matters to discuss with Mr. Gu, so it might take some time. If Ms. Lin is tired, I can bring you to take a seat on the long bench in front. I'll get the servants to bring some snacks," Ah Zhan said respectfully to Lin Nuan.

They still had matters to discuss, which meant that it was unknown how long they'd take.

Lin Nuan nodded. "I'll have to trouble you then!"

Ah Zhan led Lin Nuan to a place with a good view. The bench was covered with a soft cushion, and there was also a folded blanket laid out at the side. It seemed that Li Muyang often came here.

He then got the servants to serve Lin Nuan with red date tea, as well as a few snacks that were neither sweet nor sickening yet were relatively soft. He then stood at the side without saying anything.

The sounds of birds chirping and flowing water were the best to put one's mind at peace.

Lin Nuan drew a piece of tissue paper and held it under the hand that was holding the snack, then started to take small bites. However, her mind was filled with the words that Li Muyang had said earlier.

Lin Nuan's gaze was in a slight daze as she went deep into thought.

The hand that she had raised to hold the snack was slender and fair, so thin that it appeared boneless. It was unlike that of the Caucasian ladies Ah Zhan had often met, filled with a mysterious and beautiful Eastern flair. There was no color on her cheeks, and her skin was as fair as white jade.

Despite not wearing any makeup, Lin Nuan's features appeared exquisite and flawlessly perfect, appearing like poppy flowers and making one grow increasingly drawn in as they looked at her.

Ah Zhan lowered his gaze. Putting aside whether a woman like her was intelligent or not, given her looks, it was no wonder the boss would be moved by her.

Ah Zhan had been with Li Muyang for many years. He had thought that Li Muyang had loved Shi Hanmei a lot, but that Shi Hanmei wasn't confident and kept saying that she wanted to win Li Muyang's heart.

But later on…

He realized that when Li Muyang was looking at Lin Nuan, there was a brilliance that hadn't been there when he looked at Shi Hanmei. It was only then that he realized that what had attracted Li Muyang at the beginning might have been Lin Nuan's voice!

However, after that, Lin Nuan had easily won Li Muyang's heart! It was something that Shi Hanmei hadn't been able to obtain after seeking after it crazily and even losing her life for it…

Ah Zhan's heart started to ache for Li Muyang.

Why did such a good Li Muyang meet Lin Nuan after Fu Huai'an did? If he were to meet Lin Nuan first…

Then everyone might have different endings!

Time passed, and Lin Nuan still didn't see anyone bringing her to Gu Qingcheng. However, she didn't feel anxious and started to feel increasingly composed instead.

The worst possible scenario was just that Li Muyang wouldn't let her go.

Although she didn't understand Gu Qingcheng, given that he and Fu Huai'an were such good friends, there was no way that he'd leave her here alone.

As long as Gu Qingcheng was around, Lin Nuan wouldn't feel that scared.

She believed that as long as Fu Huai'an arrived, Li Muyang would have no choice but to let her go.

Lin Nuan was more concerned about how big Fu Huai'an's firearms business was. She raised her eyes and looked toward the colorful flying birds that were dancing about in groups in the sky. Then, her gaze flickered.

After his identity as Mr. Moral had been exposed, would they have to lead a life of hiding and vagrancy?

This was the complete opposite of the ordinary life that Lin Nuan had wanted.

She bit the last piece of her snack and felt as if she was chewing on wax.

However, this was what Li Muyang had said one-sidedly. Lin Nuan would wait until she got back and ask Fu Huai'an about it. Fu Huai'an was Lin Nuan's husband, so she unconditionally believed in every single word he said.

Lin Nuan put down the snack that she had taken a bite of, picked up the teacup, and lowered her gaze to blow at it.
