ABRWF Chapter 388.2

Jiang Nanshu replied with a smile: [I’m fine with anything. Whenever you have time off, we’ll meet. I’ll always be there.]

Xu Xi: [If you dare run away again, I’ll… I’ll hug you every day! (shy)]

Jiang Nanshu: [Nodding bear jpg.]

Jiang Nanshu was having a great time replying to messages.

About two hours later, Lu Qingyan returned.

He was dressed in a neat suit, his clean shirt buttoned all the way up, and his dark blue tie tied meticulously, giving him an inexplicably aloof and ascetic air.

“Come with me to a dinner party tonight.” Lu Qingyan sat down in his office chair.

Jiang Nanshu finally looked up from her phone, somewhat puzzled: “I have to go too? Why? Can’t you just go by yourself?”

Lu Qingyan took a sip of the coffee his secretary had just brought in.

“This is a family gathering. The investors discussing business are all bringing their families. You’re my wife; if I don’t bring you, am I supposed to bring my grandfather?” Lu Qingyan said indifferently.

Jiang Nanshu: “…”

Her face felt a little hot.

How could Lu Qingyan call her ‘wife’ so naturally and intimately?

She had never called Lu Qingyan ‘husband’ yet.

She felt a little embarrassed.

She sniffed and replied, “Oh, okay.”

Lu Qingyan’s expression softened slightly. “It’s still early. Go to my lounge and take a nap. I’ll wake you up for lunch.”

Jiang Nanshu didn’t stand on ceremony. She was incredibly sleepy, having been dragged out of bed by Lu Qingyan so early in the morning. She went to the lounge, which smelled only of him, hugged the blanket, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

Lu Qingyan waited for about half an hour before going in.

Jiang Nanshu’s breathing was shallow.

In Lu Qingyan’s eyes, she was adorable even asleep.

He liked Jiang Nanshu when she slept.

She seemed so gentle and approachable.

He wasn’t oblivious to Jiang Nanshu’s indulgence toward him.

But he could never go back to being the same person.

He was no longer the carefree and composed Lu Qingyan he once was.

If her obsession with going to another world was for Zhou Yanxu, then his obsession was for her.

Lu Qingyan looked down at the Buddhist prayer beads on his left wrist, stroking them with his fingers.

The cool touch brought back memories of five years ago.

He received a letter from Zhou Yanxu, and in the end, he took Jiang Nanshu’s body to Yulin Temple.

Lu Qingyan felt a pang of pain in her heart. Zhou Yanxu was the one she truly loved.

Similarly, Zhou Yanxu was the one who understood Jiang Nanshu best.

He wanted to find a solution from him, and he would try even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance.

Zhou Yanxu told him that he would bring Jiang Nanshu back to life.

But he needed to pay a price.

Lu Qingyan agreed without hesitation.

That was to borrow a life.

Although it seemed unbelievable, he still did as Zhou Yanxu ordered.

After returning to the capital, Jiang Nanshu began to breathe again.

He then buried his face in her body and wept bitterly.

The bloody wound on his wrist was covered by Buddhist prayer beads from then on.

Zhou Yanxu told him not to take it off, as it would ensure his safety once.

When leaving Yulin Temple, he looked at Zhou Yanxu’s thin back and couldn’t help but ask, “Do you…do you like her…?”

If he didn’t like her, how could he have known Jiang Nanshu’s whereabouts so early, and even waited here for him to bring her?

Zhou Yanxu simply turned to look at him, his pale eyes filled with helplessness.

“Nan Nan could have lived a happy and carefree life. It’s my fault that this happened. I wanted both, but I couldn’t save either of them. Now that she’s back, I’ll have to trouble you to take good care of her. We monks are not allowed to have romantic relationships.”

The last part of his sentence sounded like a joke.

Lu Qingyan pursed his lips, looking at his short black hair. Had he really entered a life of monastic seclusion?

Lu Qingyan didn’t want to expose him, so he bowed to him and left with Jiang Nanshu.

No matter how long he has to wait, he will wait for his lover to come back.
