Chapter 1170: How Was She Nice?
He and Bai Xiaonian still had many more years ahead of them. They weren’t cut out for doing spectacular and life-threatening things!
All he wanted was for Bai Xiaonian to lead a peaceful and healthy life.
If Bai Xiaonian wasn’t sure about whether he loved her, then… he would tell her that he loved her every day!
If Bai Xiaonian didn’t want to accept his love, he was fine simply remaining by her side!
All human hearts were made of stone, and Bai Xiaonian was such a soft-hearted person. He would move her eventually!
“Old Lu!”
Tang Zheng, who had walked out to the corridor to smoke, called out to Lu Jinnan.
Lu Jinnan turned and saw Tang Zheng with an unlit cigarette hanging from the corner of his lips. Tang Zheng then held out a cigarette to him, seemingly asking him if he wanted to smoke.
Lu Jinnan walked towards Tang Zheng and took the cigarette from him. The two of them stood side by side as Lu Jinnan asked, “Weren’t you planning on leaving? Why are you still here?”
“I’ll leave after I’ve smoked this cigarette!” Tang Zheng lit his cigarette and asked Lu Jinnan, “You let Bai Xiaonian leave alone. Are you not planning to stay at her house any longer?”
“It’ll be difficult for me to handle Old Gu’s matters if I stay there!” Lu Jinnan looked down, shielding the flame with one hand as he lit the cigarette.
“The two of us are really two of a kind! Getting married is so difficult!” Tang Zheng chuckled softly and joked with Lu Jinnan.
Lu Jinnan smiled, then took a drag of the cigarette and remained silent.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGu Qingcheng left in the afternoon. Yun Liuli held onto his hand as he got into the car, unable to hold back her tears.
Gu Qingcheng was afraid of having to say goodbye like this. He pulled out a tissue and wiped away the young lady’s tears. He then said to Lin Nuan, “I’ll have to trouble you to take care of her!”
Lin Nuan placed a hand on Yun Liuli’s shoulder and nodded towards Gu Qingcheng. “Don’t worry!”
With Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an around, Gu Qingcheng had nothing to worry about. He nodded and used his fingers to wipe away the young lady’s tears after thanking Lin Nuan again. “Wait for me to come back!”
“Okay!” Yun Liuli nodded.
As Yun Liuli watched Gu Qingcheng leave, she forcefully rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand so that she wouldn’t cry… but she couldn’t stop her tears from rolling down her cheeks.
She sniffled and said to Lin Nuan in a nasal voice, “Sister Xiao Nuan, I’ll head back to school first!”
“Have dinner with us before you leave!” Lin Nuan held onto the young lady’s shoulders and brought her into the house. “Yuan Yuan’s already woken up, and Tuan Tuan should be home soon. You can play with Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan for a while, and after dinner, I’ll get the driver to send you back!”
The moment the young lady heard the words “Tuan Tuan” and “Yuan Yuan”, tears rolled down her cheeks more furiously. She didn’t know when she would be able to reunite with Gu Qingcheng.
Yun Liuli’s phone had been vibrating for the whole afternoon. Now that Gu Qingcheng had left, she had time to look at it.
There were a few missed calls and a text from Guan Nina…
In Guan Nina’s text, she said her parents were bringing her to a banquet that night. The Xiao family was going to introduce them to their other son. Other people were unaware, but Guan Nina knew that the other son was Zhou Yuchen!
Guan Nina added a few anxious emoticons at the end of her text. action
Yun Liuli was confused after reading Guan Nina’s text.
‘Yun Liuli: That’s great!’
Wasn’t it great that Zhou Yuchen’s family brought him back?
‘Guan Nina: Big missy, you finally replied!’
‘Guan Nina: I think something smells fishy. Xiao Yuan’s father knew very early on that Zhou Yuchen was his son. Why did he only bring him back now, and not after Zhou Yuchen’s mother passed away? Don’t you find it odd?’
Yun Liuli pondered for a moment before replying.
‘Yun Liuli: I guess perhaps he was stung by his conscience?’
‘Guan Nina: …’
To Guan Nina, the Xiao family didn’t know what a “conscience” was!
Putting aside the fact that the Xiao family owned legitimate businesses, everyone knew that they were involved in illicit dealings as well!
Xiao Yuan’s father, Xiao Qinghai, carried out many shady business deals these past few years instead of focusing on being a proper businessman. Guan Nina had heard her father talk about it once, and he said that it was only the tip of the iceberg.
It was clear that the Xiao family weren’t good people.
Guan Nina knew that Yun Liuli might not be able to understand, but she couldn’t go into detail over text either. Hence, she asked Yun Liuli if she wanted to go to the banquet with her that night.
‘Yun Liuli: Why do I have to go with you?’
Over the phone, Guan Nina bit her lip and sniffled in sadness. She then replied to her…
‘Guan Nina: Because Zhou Yuchen likes you! He’ll definitely be happy to see you!’
Guan Nina then sent another text.
‘Guan Nina: Not only that, but Zhou Yuchen will definitely feel uneasy in an unfamiliar environment. I can tell that Zhou Yuchen depends on you. If you go to the banquet, he’ll feel more at ease.’
‘Yun Liuli: I’m already interested in someone else!’
Guan Nina and Yun Liuli’s texts were practically sent at the same time.
Over the phone, Guan Nina smiled despite feeling that it was very wrong of her to do so.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnable to hide her emotions, she bit her lip and replied to Yun Liuli.
‘Guan Nina: I feel like a wicked woman. I can’t believe I’m happy that you’re interested in someone else! Since you’re not interested in Zhou Yuchen, I feel like I have a chance again!’
‘Yun Liuli: Why would you be a wicked woman just because you like someone? Nonsense!’
Guan Nina’s smile grew as she read Yun Liuli’s text!
Why?
It was probably because Guan Nina felt that Yun Liuli and Zhou Yuchen were more compatible.
‘Guan Nina: You’re so nice, Xiao Liuli!’
Yun Liuli became even more confused after reading Guan Nina’s text. How was she nice?
Yun Liuli stopped replying and put down her phone. She instead focused on playing with Yuan Yuan, who had just woken up. She was extremely adorable.
Yun Liuli suddenly began looking forward to her and Gu Qingcheng’s child. She thought… their child would probably be as adorable as Yuan Yuan!
Lin Nuan heard from Fu Huai’an that Gu Qingcheng had already agreed to let Yun Liuli try out things that she liked, so she informed Fang Yan.
Yun Liuli had an exam the next morning. Fang Yan called Yun Liuli and told her that after her exam, she would first have to undergo a test to see which direction would be best for her to go in. This was so that Fang Yan could create a comprehensive and detailed training program for her.
She would bring the contract with her for Yun Liuli to sign. Since Yun Liuli was working with Lin Nuan’s agency, she wouldn’t be set up, and all the best resources would be given to her.
Yun Liuli could trust Fang Yan, so she agreed to it over the phone.
Fang Yan did the math. Yun Liuli’s exam would end at about 11:30 in the morning. In order not to make Yun Liuli wait for too long, Fang Yan blocked out the entire day and waited at the university’s entrance at 11:15 with the contract in hand!
Just as the car stopped, Fang Yan saw Yun Liuli sitting at the flower terrace in front of the entrance. She had a lollipop in her mouth and was writing in a small notebook.
Fang Yan rolled down the car window. “Liuli!”
Yun Liuli looked up and saw Fang Yan. She then grabbed her notebook and ran towards her.
