CH 28.2

There were more than one magazine in the package. The business magazines used hot stamped coated paper, which was very heavy. There were five books in the stack, and it felt very difficult to hold up.

Fang Musen placed the magazines on the desk and flipped through the receipt information on the package.

In the recipient column, the words were written: Lin Yu He.

He said, “This magazine seems to be bought by Master Lin.”

Lu Nan paused his writing, looking at the stack of magazines and narrowing his eyes.

Lin Yu He went to buy a magazine with Lu Nan on the cover, and he had even bought so many copies in one go. It looked as if he really liked the magazine, which seemed unimaginable.

Lu Nan’s face showed no reactions.

He lowered his head to send out a message. Soon, the notification jumped with a reply.

Just as Lu Nan glanced over, there was movement at the study door.

It was Lin Yu He.

The door of the study was not closed, and Lin Yu He walked in quickly with a panicked expression.

His hair was still wet, and his body was damp. It looked as if he had just taken a shower, and rushed to put on a sweater and hurry over.

Fang Musen asked, “Master Lin, is there something wrong?”

“There is a package that belongs to me,” Lin Yu He said before he could catch his breath. “It seems that it was delivered here together…” Before he could finish speaking, he saw the stack of magazines on the desk.

Lin Yu He froze immediately.

It was too late.

The magazine had been taken by the one in the cover photo himself.

The surroundings suddenly became silent, and the air seemed to freeze.

Fang Musen easily read the room and left first, leaving the two to themselves.

Lin Yu He, who was standing at the door, turned sideways to make way for him and let him leave. But his eyes were still following the other side, and his expression was hesitant.

The expressions of young people were always easily deciphered. It was clear that he had wanted to leave with Fang Musen.

The door was closed by Fang Musen from the outside, and this thought was cut off. Lin Yu He could only turn his eyes back inside. He opened his mouth several times but couldn’t say anything.

The magazines were already on the table, and the thick stack made it impossible to justify anything.

Lu Nan looked at him: “Come here.”

Lin Yu He froze for a moment.

The last time Lu Nan had called it over, it was because he was watching a video on the tablet and was discovered by Lu Nan.

At that time, he walked over and was kissed by Lu Nan.

Perhaps the shadow of doubt was still there, and the speed of Lin Yu He’s approach was slow. However, Lu Nan’s expression was very calm and he did nothing out of the ordinary.

Lu Nan pushed the magazine in Lin Yu He’s direction, tapping the table with his fingertips and asked calmly. “Did you write the inscription on the cover?”

What he meant was the powerful words next to his photo — “Independent at Thirty.”

Lin Yu He, stunned, never expected to hear about this topic: “…Yes.”

He was a little surprised, with eyes widened unconsciously like a deer and vivid, beautiful eyebrows.

“How does Mr. Lu know?”

Lu Nan said: “I asked the editor-in-chief of the magazine.”

He crossed his fingers and said lightly: “The editor-in-chief said that the author of the inscription was you, and several handwritten titles in the video were yours as well.”

Lin Yu He nodded: “Yes.”

It sounded like a coincidence, but it was also clear that everything had an answer.

“So these were the samples they sent you?”

Lu Nan asked.

“When you watched the video on the tablet that day, you were also watching the title you wrote?”

The fiance had deliberately bought a lot of magazines on which he was the cover character of. It seemed like a very romantic move, and it was difficult to imagine.

But Lu Nan kept thinking about it.

He remembered the student discount after providing the bank card, as well as the invitation for the ink pen art exhibition in the mall.

It was all the same.

So, when he saw these magazines, Lu Nan began to understand how Lin Yu He was thinking.

And the result was so.

Lu Nan’s tone was calm, not forceful, but Lin Yu He was still silent after hearing this.

He hesitated, as if he didn’t know how to answer.

Lu Nan knew that it was difficult for the other party to provide an answer, and he didn’t want to put too much pressure on him.

“Put the magazines here, you can take them back later,” he said. “It’s cold, don’t go around with wet hair.”

“Okay.”

Lin Yu He left, looking relieved.

Lu Nan watched him leave. It wasn’t until the door closed and the thin back had completely disappeared that he turned his line of sight.

Lu Nan lowered his head to continue looking at his documents, and the message notifications flashed again.

It was the editor-in-chief that he had just sent a message to.

The editor-in-chief was still talking about the inscription. Lu Nan opened the message and glanced at it casually.

[Editor-in-chief: I just asked about the design. We have actually been working with Mr. Lin for a long time, and he has written the inscriptions on the covers of several previous books.]

The magazine was right next to him, and so Lu Nan took one and rubbed the words “Independent at thirty” with his fingertips.

It was written by Ning Ning.

It turned out that others had also appeared with Ning Ning’s words. He was not the only one.

The message notifications jumped again. The flashing frequency was like a pulse, a heartbeat.

[Editor-in-chief: But, this was the first time Mr. Lin had asked for a sample issue.]

Lu Nan rubbed his fingers on the cover for a while, nearly leaving a scratch on his own face on the magazine.

[Editor-in-chief: Because the cost of our magazine is relatively high, we couldn’t actually give out samples during design cooperation. Mr. Lin bought those at his own expense.]

[Editor-in-chief: The sales of this issue were very good, and the stock was in short supply. We only got five copies for Mr. Lin because we reserved them early…]

The editor-in-chief’s messages were still flashing, detailing how the cover of Lu Nan had brought sales to the issue, but Lu Nan had no intention of paying attention at all.

He stood up abruptly, so much so that the soft chair behind him was shoved away by his movements, hitting the wall. Lu Nan strode past the desk, and even knocked over the wedding gift box that Fang Musen had arranged in his hurry.

This could be regarded as one of the most hurried moments in the thirty years of Lu Nan.

He was a man who had always been extremely calm, a rare gift.

He rushed to the door of the study in a few steps.

“Ning Ning!”
