316 Listen to Your Hear

Lin Nuan's smile disappeared from her face…

She thought Gu Hanyan loved Wen Moshen; hence, she didn't speak the truth!

If all Gu Hanyan did was live carefreely and sleep around after Wen Moshen had gone missing, wasn't it unfair to Wen Moshen if she withheld the truth and let them get married

With the truth that Gu Hanyan hadn't gone to Iraq coming out, Wen Moshen must have felt horrible inside.

She held her phone in her hands tightly and kept silent for a long while. Then she passed it to Bai Xiaonian.

"You don't need to feel guilty!" Bai Xiaonian said.

Bai Xiaonian knew Lin Nuan too well—her expression was that of visible guilt.

"Wen Moshen made his own choice to marry Gu Hanyan! This is complicated… if you stood out and told the truth that you went to Iraq instead of Gu Hanyan, people would be saying you're intentionally making up stories when you married Fu Huai'an right after. They'd say how cruel it was for you to tell Wen Moshen you went to Iraq for him then married another man!"

Bai Xiaonian took Lin Nuan's arm and said to her in a rare serious manner, "There's no such thing as the best of both worlds. As long as you can listen to your heart when you decide, it's already enough!"

No matter what Lin Nuan said on the matter, she would be in the wrong. Hence it was better if she simply didn't care!

Wen Moshen wasn't a child; a grown man should be able to handle the consequences of his own choices.

From an outsider's point of view, since Lin Nuan had no intention of sharing a future with Wen Moshen, it was right for her to keep silent and prevent them from falling back into their old feelings.

Yet from Lin Nuan's friend's point of view, Bai Xiaonian didn't want Lin Nuan to give of herself just like that.

Hence Bai Xiaonian said everything Lin Nuan couldn't say!

Bai Xiaonian didn't tell Lin Nuan she sought out Wen Moshen—some things were better left unsaid.

She was relieved when she learned that Bai Xiaonian's father still kept a very positive attitude.

Since she agreed to take Tuan Tuan to the supermarket at noon and she had to go back to the apartment to tidy up, she left the broadcasting building early.

…

Just as Lin Nuan walked to the neighborhood entrance, she spotted Liu Mingchen, who was leaning on the car, smoking.

Unlike that vibrant neighborhood brother the last time she saw him, he emanated a decadent aura!

He was wearing a wrinkled suit with his shirt tucked in his pants. He didn't have a belt on, his collar was unironed, and the top portion of his shirt was unbuttoned. His throat moved as he gulped down puffs of air as he smoked.

Liu Mingchen had not shaved for a long time. His beard and hair were slightly messy.

She clutched her bag tightly when she recalled what his mother told her last time.

If Liu Mingchen was waiting for her to tell her what his mother Lu Mei had mentioned, Lin Nuan would go tell him that she was already married.

Lin Nuan prepared herself internally, put on her bag, and walked towards Liu Mingchen with her hands in her pockets.

Liu Mingchen's mind was all over the place—he didn't even notice when LIn Nuan was standing right in front of him. He looked down and furrowed his eyebrows and drew a deep breath out of his cigarette.

"Brother Mingchen…" Lin Nuan said in a clear voice.

Liu Mingchen looked up and saw Lin Nuan. He immediately tossed his cigarette away and stepped on it before getting up…

As she got a closer look at him, Lin Nuan noticed his eyes had visibly red veins and that his eye circles were quite dark. He looked like he hadn't rested well in a long time.
