When the reporters heard Nan Xun say that he wanted to see Director Du, they immediately fell silent and dared not speak anymore.
Nan Xun led Zhu Zhu into the banquet hall under the gaze of reporters. An Yiqing and Liu Ruohan couldn't help but follow them in.
"Why didn't you tell me she was Nanxun's wife?" Liu Ruohan was a little angry. If she had known earlier, she would never have deliberately made things difficult for Zhu Zhu.
"You know they were having a quarrel at that time, so I couldn't say much."
"Are you quarreling?" Liu Ruohan looked at the beautiful couple in front of her interlocking their fingers and said harshly, "Is this how you look when you're quarreling?"
"I don't know how they got back together."
An Yiqing really didn't understand why the couple who were about to get a divorce were actually together again. No, she had to find time to ask Zhu Jue what was going on.
In the banquet hall, Nanxun and Zhu Zhu were socializing everywhere. When the wealthy ladies saw Nanxun with his legal wife, they couldn't help but talk about it again.
"Look here! Didn't they say they were getting a divorce? Why are they holding hands again?"
"Who says it isn't?" said another wealthy woman. "I thought that actor was going to be promoted. It seems that this upstart daughter of a wealthy man has some skills."
"It seems that Young Master Nan treats her very well. Just look at him. Last time, when he went to a cocktail party with Zhu Jue, Young Master Nan left her alone at the venue and ignored her. Now he has brought his wife here, and he keeps her by his side, never leaving her side for a moment."
"Yeah. It seems that the actor is really doomed. I heard from people in Nanyu that Zhu Jue went to Nanyu to look for Nanxun, but Nanxun was too lazy to meet him."
"Do you think Nanxun and Zhu Jue really had a relationship?"
"Who knows? Only the person involved knows whether they slept together or not."
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this, and it was clear that they were very interested in discussing the gossip about Nan Xun.
…
At 8 o'clock in the evening, An Yiqing and Liu Ruohan's engagement ceremony officially began.
Zhu Zhu and Nan Xun sat at the main table, watching An Yiqing put the engagement ring on Liu Ruohan's hand with tears in his eyes.
"From today on, I will spend my whole life protecting you and loving you. The only woman I will love in this life is you, Liu Ruohan."
Zhu Zhu watched the scene unfold, and suddenly felt a sense of irony. The man who had just two days ago claimed he couldn't live without her was now speaking such affectionate words to another woman. Men truly are talented actors.
"Touched?" Nan Xun saw Zhu Zhu was so serious, he didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly felt that bringing her here seemed like a mistake. "Are you upset that your ex-boyfriend didn't marry you?"
Zhu Zhu felt a little uncomfortable with Nan Xun's groundless sarcasm, and wondered what was wrong with him.
"I didn't." Zhu Zhu bit her lip lightly, "Don't talk nonsense."
"That's good." Nan Xun turned his gaze back to the stage, "You have to remember whose wife you are."
Zhu Zhu rolled her eyes at Nan Xun. Why had this guy been saying things that were so misleading lately? If she hadn't known he liked men, she would have fallen head over heels for him.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Zhu Zhu stood up, said something to Nan Xun beside her, and turned to leave the banquet hall.
In the hotel corridor, Zhu Zhu saw from afar an exquisite lady getting angry at a middle-aged man.
"Does An Jinli look down on us? It's such a big deal, but no one from the An family showed up for such a big event like an engagement!"
"Alright," the middle-aged man coaxed the wealthy wife. "I heard from Yiqing that Lao An secretly went to that small island in the Pacific to meet the island owner. As long as the matter is successful, Lao An has agreed to develop it together with our Liu Group. Won't the profits by then be less than what we made this mistake?"
"If An Jinli doesn't come, then Mrs. An and An Yichen should come. After all, Yiqing is the second young master of their An family. It would be too disrespectful if he didn't come."
"You also know that Yiqing is not Mrs. An's biological daughter. It would be awkward if she came. I think this is good. It gives everyone some peace and quiet."
"That's why I opposed Hanhan marrying this illegitimate child..."
"That's enough!" the middle-aged man snorted. "What illegitimate child? Don't you know what kind of character your daughter is? Which young master in this imperial capital can tolerate your daughter's bad temper? Now that An He is willing to let her be his daughter-in-law, what else do you want?"
Zhu Zhu analyzed the content of the conversation and concluded that the couple should be Liu Ruohan's parents. It seemed that Liu Ruohan's mother was not satisfied with An Yiqing, and it seemed that An Yiqing's future was uncertain.
