Lu Nanchen agreed promptly. Doing something like tugging at white hair wasn’t really convenient if he did it alone. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Yu Ting accepted.
The two people maintained their embraced position. They didn’t know how long Lu Nanchen had held onto this position, but then a vibration came from his chest. The cell phone in Yu Ting’s pocket was ringing.
The distinct ringtone echoed in the quiet and serene room. After a moment of stunned silence, Lu Nanchen’s hand finally slackened a bit.
Yu Ting pulled her phone out of her pocket.
The caller’s ID read: Song Zhan.
Swipe right to answer.
As she was out of touch with news, Song Zhan found out about Yu Ting’s affair quite late. At first, he hesitated to speak, then he hesitantly asked.
"Finally, have you had enough of Lu Nanchen’s cold personality?"
Without waiting for Yu Ting to answer, Lu Nanchen spoke up first, each word exploding out of his mouth.
"Cold personality? Old man? Song Zhan, you’re quite something..."
Song Zhan was taken aback, he didn’t expect that his call to Yu Ting would have been picked up by Lu Nanchen, he choked and after a fit of coughing, he changed the topic, "Yu Ting, your rumors are being handled by the company as high priority, I estimate the heat will cool down soon."
"Oh? How do you usually talk about me in front of my wife?"
"I saw that the heat was subsiding once, why did it suddenly skyrocket again?"
"Don’t change the topic."
The volume of Lu Nanchen’s voice dropped yet again.
Tsk.
Song Zhan stuck out his tongue, then, acting as if he had nothing to lose, he yelled, "Lu, I’m not afraid of you at all, my brother taught me those phrases!"
Yu Ting: ...
Lu Nanchen: ...
After this little interlude, Lu Nanchen let go of Yu Ting and began tidying up the room properly.
The hotel’s washing machine was dirty, so Lu Nanchen collected the clothes that could be reused from the floor and brought them into the bathroom. Besides the few that needed dry cleaning, he soaked the rest in hot water and then proceeded to hand-wash them. The sink reached up to his waist and he had to bend his back while cleaning the clothes. His sleeves were neatly rolled up, leaving his long hands covered in suds as he worked meticulously.
Meanwhile, Yu Ting sat on the sofa outside and started discussing serious matters with Song Zhan.
It’s undisputed that the public relations team of VG Company is efficient. Removing Yu Ting from the trending list was merely a matter of time. However, the issue was how the heat surrounding it dropped once but quickly resurged, indicating someone was pulling strings behind the scenes.
The two pondered for a while as to who could be sabotaging Yu Ting.
Yu Ting leaned back, propped her face up with one hand, and gently massaged her face from time to time.
Who’s pulling strings against her?
Who else could it be if not Shen Ruchu?
As Yu Ting contemplated, her eyes hardened. After telling Song Zhan over the phone ’see if you can find out who’s buying the viral topics’ she hung up.
She continued to sit there zoning out, gazing at the beautiful balcony.
After Lu Nanchen finished washing the clothes, he wrung them and hung them out on the balcony. His imposing figure stood tall amidst the late summer sunset, instilling a sense of peace and tranquility. His expressive fingers were a bit red at the joints, owing to the long exposure to cold water and the toil of washing clothes continually.
He bent down and straightened up, hanging the clothes to dry.
As Yu Ting pondered, her eyes happened upon Lu Nanchen. A natural smile crept onto her face.
The dim sunset spilled onto the wide balcony, casting shadows over the pair. The scene was picturesque - the man meticulously hanging clothes,clothing rustling in the breeze. His eyelashes casting a shadow over his eyes. The woman watched him, lost in thought. Except for the sounds made by the man while hanging the clothes and the rustling of wind, there was silence. The man’s exposed forearm looked even whiter under the sun.
