The entrance to Nanjing University.
Su Chuanlin stopped the car.
Looking at the person in the passenger seat who had been burying their head in the sand, he spoke in a low, hoarse voice: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Xiang Niannian shook her head: "No need, thank you so much, I'll go back to school now?"
As Xiang Niannian spoke, she tried to open the car door, but failed; the door was still locked.
She couldn't help but wonder, and turned her head to look, only to find Su Chuanlin staring at her with his eyes unmoving.
This suddenly reminded her of the problem she had that morning. Now, was she really going to have to face it?
"Um... Su Chuanlin, I..."
Xiang Niannian looked at Su Chuanlin, her hands entwined, clutching the back of her own hands.
Su Chuanlin witnessed this entire scene.
"No need. I promised I'd wait for you. I'm not afraid to wait. I still want to wait until the day you truly and completely accept me. I'll be there whenever you need me."
Xiang Niannian looked up in astonishment at Su Chuanlin, her eyes slightly red.
Su Chuanlin couldn't help but ruffle Xiang Niannian's hair and chuckled, "What? Stunned? Or have you realized you're head over heels in love with me right now?"
"No...no."
Xiang Niannian withdrew her gaze, a smile playing on her lips, and then opened the car door to get out.
"I'm going to class now." After getting out of the car, Xiang Niannian turned around and spoke to Su Chuanlin.
"Okay, remember to reply to my message, otherwise I'll be itching to go to work."
To be honest, ever since he truly faced his feelings, Su Chuanlin wanted to see her every day. Even if they didn't meet, he wanted to talk and chat with her. As long as she replied to his messages, he would be happy all day, and his work efficiency would increase significantly.
"Mmm." Xiang Niannian bit her lip and nodded before walking towards the school.
However, after taking only a few steps, Xiang Niannian quickly turned around, pressed her little face against the car window, and said to Su Chuanlin in the driver's seat, "Su Chuanlin, thank you! I won't keep you waiting."
After saying that, the person turned and ran away, and by the time Su Chuanlin reacted, the person had already disappeared.
Su Chuanlin was left behind in the driver's seat, suddenly grinning like an idiot.
"hehe......"

With Xiang Niannian's words, Su Chuanlin walked into the company full of vigor and high spirits. He would greet the cleaning staff who passed by, which startled them so much that they thought she hadn't cleaned properly and immediately put down their tools to clean repeatedly.
Just as Su Chuanlin returned to his office, Assistant Chen walked in.
"President Su."
"Speak." Su Chuanlin draped his coat over his office chair and then sat down.
Assistant Chen was about to report something, but seeing his boss's ever-present upturned lips, he couldn't resist his curiosity and asked, "President Su, are you with Miss Xiang Niannian?"
Su Chuanlin paused, glanced at it, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You could hang countless lanterns on the corners of your mouth."
“…” Su Chuanlin.
Was he making it that obvious?
"Speak your mind, or shut up." Su Chuanlin pursed his lips.
Chen Jin immediately straightened up: "President Su, the things you asked me to do have been arranged."
"Hmm, no one was hurt, right?" Su Chuanlin played with the silver fountain pen in his hand, seemingly lost in thought.
Chen Jin shook his head: "Just a minor injury."
"Okay, go down."

On the other hand, this was Zhang Wenyan's first time going so far away, and she was unfamiliar with the area around Nancheng.
She called Xiang Niannian but she didn't answer. Luckily, there was plenty of food at home, so she took care of her own needs and then went downstairs for a stroll.
She had already made up her mind: if Xiang Niannian didn't come back tonight, she would go to the school to find her tomorrow. That brat, she's got a death wish; she can't be scolded or criticized now.
Zhang Wenyan wanted nothing more than to appear in front of Xiang Niannian and give her a good scolding, but less than half an hour later, her attitude completely changed.
Just as she was about to go out for a stroll, she immediately returned to her rented room, took out her phone, put on her reading glasses, and kept sending messages to Xiang Niannian.
[Niannian, when you come home from school today, Mommy has something to say to you.]
[It was my fault last night; I accidentally hit you, but you need to know that I did it all for your own good.]
There's no hatred between a mother and daughter. Mom is waiting for you to come home for dinner tonight. Mom promises we'll talk things out and I won't pressure you anymore.
After sending these words, Zhang Wenyan was unable to calm down for a long time.
When she went downstairs, she ran into the landlord. After learning that she was Xiang Niannian's mother, his attitude changed completely. She learned from him that Xiang Niannian had hooked up with a rich second-generation!
Moreover, he was an extraordinary rich second-generation heir who even appeared online. The landlord was afraid she wouldn't believe him, so he even looked up the rich second-generation heir's information and showed it to her.
A century-old family business, a listed company, with countless assets...
Thinking this, Zhang Wenyan cursed Xiang Niannian inwardly for keeping such a big thing from her.
Zhang Wenyan's happiness lasted less than half a second before she received a phone call.
Before he could utter a sound, he heard a wailing voice from the other end: "Wife! Come back quickly!"
"Hao Hao was in a car accident, waaaaah!"
"They're in the hospital now!"
Zhang Wenyan's face turned pale instantly.
After hanging up the phone, I quickly packed my bags and headed out, while frantically calling Niannian, but no one answered.
As soon as she stepped out, Zhang Wenyan ran into her landlord again. After learning that she was rushing to the station, the landlord offered to give her a ride, which stopped Zhang Wenyan from calling Xiang Niannian again.
Xiang Niannian, who was in class at school, was completely unaware of all this and only turned on her phone after returning to her dormitory.
She was stunned by Zhang Wenyan's long message, but after thinking about it, she still called back.
The other party answered, and at first, all I heard was a lot of noise.
“Niannian, Mom is home. Your dad scared me to death just now. He said your brother was in a car accident. I was so scared that I immediately bought a ticket to go home. After I got on the train, I called your dad and found out that your brother was injured in the car accident but his life is not in danger.”
Xiang Niannian listened to Zhang Wenyan's long speech and was momentarily stunned. This was the first time her mother had spoken to her so kindly.
"Um."
However, Xiang Niannian no longer harbored any illusions. She knew that her mother always had ulterior motives towards her.
"Niannian, why are you so cold to Mom? Mom admits I was a little too excited last night. If you want to date, go ahead, Mom supports you, but bring your child home to meet Mom and Dad as soon as possible."
Zhang Wenyan did not intend to tell Xiang Niannian that she already knew.
"I have something to do here, so I'll hang up now."
Xiang Niannian felt a pang of panic upon hearing Zhang Wenyan's words. After calming down, she realized something was amiss. Given her mother's personality, she certainly wouldn't have reacted this way if she knew about Su Chuanlin's existence.
PS: Here I come!
Wendy went shopping and packed her bags today because she's planning a few days of solo travel before work starts, so there will only be one update today.
