Chapter 724: Chapter 486: Understanding Lu Yinchu Less and Less [10 updates]_1

As Xia Yu drove Lu Yinchu back to the company after leaving Ni Xuexue’s place, his face remained expressionless, and he said not a word.

Lu Yinchu, seated at the back of the car, was resting with his eyes closed, exuding an air of indifference and a lack of interest in conversing.

As he got out of the car, Xia Yu wanted to say something, but Lu Yinchu beat him to it, "Take the car to the car wash. Have it thoroughly cleaned, and replace all the floor mats with new ones."

"...Oh!" noveldrama

Xia Yu was stunned. He turned to look at the white Rolls-Royce, which was perfectly clean. He wondered why it needed to be washed.

Turning his gaze back to Lu Yinchu, who was about to ask something, he saw Lu Yinchu tiptoe towards a trash can and nonchalantly toss his blazer into it...

...

Nanxi was feeling a bit off that day, so she didn’t have much energy. When again asked by Liao Feifei about yesterday’s events, she smiled and said, "We’re still in discussion!"

Liao Feifei frowned, "Could it be that he disagrees?"

Nanxi shook her head. "No, it’s just... he plans to hold our wedding ceremony next month. Timing is a bit tricky to coordinate. Some slight trouble, but it’s okay. I will definitely attend the interview this time!"

Liao Feifei blinked her eyes. She had heard before that Nanxi only had a quick marriage certification and had not hosted a formal wedding ceremony, which she felt was unfair to Nanxi.

However, after some thought, the happiness in a marriage is not measured by the grandeur of the wedding ceremony, so she didn’t make much of it.

Now hearing that Nanxi was planning to have her wedding next month, she was taken aback for a moment. Clearing her throat, she said, "Hosting a wedding is a great idea. A woman gets married only once in her life. Not having a wedding ceremony may leave some regrets. If it really doesn’t work out, just the two of us attending will be fine as well. It’s not a problem!"

"It’s not an issue!" Nanxi flashed a smile, biting her lip and saying, "I will definitely attend the interview this time!"

At the door, Lin Pinzhi, holding some materials, stepped in. Hearing the conversation between the two, he paused for a moment.

...

As work ended, surprisingly, the person who came to pick up Nanxi was not Lu Yinchu but Xia Yu.

Nanxi didn’t say anything, assuming Lu Yinchu must be busy.

He had indeed been busy recently.

On the journey, Xia Yu maintained a stern face, speaking nothing, one might even think he was angry at someone!

Nanxi, knowing that the two of them were friends, asked what had happened.

Xia Yu shook his head, "Nothing..."

"Then who are you angry with?"

I..." Xia Yu bit his lip, "Madam...."

"Hmm?"

"Between you and Boss Lu, has anything gone wrong recently?"

"..."

Nanxi was startled, uncertain why Xia Yu would suddenly ask such a question.

"What happened?"

"Madam, Boss Lu, he... he seems to be becoming more and more inscrutable!"

Nanxi blinked her eyes. More inscrutable?

Or is it because we don’t understand each other well enough?

Just like herself. Because she does not understand Lu Yinchu, she feels she is becoming more and more clueless about him.

Lu Yinchu once said that he would give her the chance to understand him. Does her current situation mean she missed it? Or did he never really give her the opportunity?

...

On that day, Lu Yinchu did not return home until dinner time. He had called to let her know he would be working late and would eat outside.

Nanxi felt an unexplainable sense of loss.

Perhaps sensing Nanxi’s unhappiness, Lord Lu criticized his grandson in frustration and asked Xia Zhen to call Lu Yinchu again to ask when he would return home.

There would always be work to do. It wasn’t as if he were going to fight in a battlefield. Could he die if he took half a day off?

That night, Nanxi was unable to sleep well, again. She thought Lu Yinchu would return at the same time as he did last night. But he didn’t.

She wasn’t sure when she fell asleep. When she woke up, she instinctively reached towards his side of the bed. It was empty.

Lu Yinchu hadn’t returned all night long!

It wasn’t until breakfast that Nanxi learned from Xia Zhen that Lu Yinchu had left for a business trip.

"He called me at eleven last night to inform me that he was unexpectedly summoned out of town for three to five days," Xia Zhen explained. "He had already reached the airport when he called. I couldn’t stop him..."

Old Master Lu was angry. "I told you to call him back. Instead of bringing him home, you let him go..."

Xia Zhen didn’t look very pleased. Nanxi quickly interjected, "Grandpa, it’s not mom’s fault. Besides, I think that men should prioritise their careers. He’s just been a little busy recently. I understand!"
