After glancing at the text message, Lu Jinghuai put his phone in his pocket and gave his assistant Zhang a word of advice.
"I need to go out now. You're in charge of handling things here."
"Also, no one is allowed to follow me."
Assistant Zhang knew, of course, that his boss was going to see Miss Ye.
Therefore, he said with a worried expression, "But Mr. Lu, you're all alone..."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
He bet that Lu Ziming didn't want him dead for the time being.
But Ye Nanxing had to go and save him.
Since this is a world in a book, and since Ye Nanxing is the destined female lead, then she absolutely cannot get into trouble.
otherwise……
The book falls apart because the female lead is dead.
She will disappear too.
Lu Jinghuai sat in the elevator and glanced once more in the direction of the hospital room door.
One last confirmation: the woman really wasn't here.
Shen Wenran waited for nearly half an hour before leaving the ward.
Luo Anwen's hospital room was filled with all sorts of puppies.
This made her feel very awkward in that environment.
Just as she was about to go out to see if Lu Jinghuai had left, Luo Anwen reached out and pulled her to her side.
"Wen Ran, do you see that? They're all handsome guys."
Shen Wenran nodded: "I saw it."
She's not blind, okay? There are so many handsome guys, she can only look but not...
Cough cough, just mentioning it gives me a heart attack.
"Let's get a divorce. Putting aside the fact that your man is gay, there's also the fact that your man has a crush on someone else. Anyone would find it unbearable to have an ambiguous relationship with that crush."
After saying that, Luo Anwen added, "I'm not saying you're not human, I mean your man is a real dog."
She wanted to cry.
"Anwen, let's not talk about this anymore, okay? I need to go to the restroom."
If you bring her up again, I'll really cry in front of her.
"Okay, go ahead."
Luo Anwen let go of her, and Shen Wenran finally felt like she could catch her breath.
When they looked into the next ward, they found Bian Xiaoan lying alone in the hospital bed.
Her small body was thin and pale, a sight that broke one's heart.
Shen Wenran couldn't bear it any longer. She went outside and saw that Lu Jinghuai and Assistant Zhang were not there, so she felt relieved and went to the door.
She knocked on the door, and the person lying in the hospital bed turned to look at her.
When she saw that it was her, she immediately smiled.
She didn't expect that he would recognize her even though she was wearing a mask.
"Sister, it's you."
Bian Xiaoan's enthusiasm made Shen Wenran feel a little uncomfortable.
Of course, I felt mostly heartache.
She couldn't understand that man. Bian Xiaoan was so pitiful, with pale skin and a thin frame, making people want to protect her.
Only a heartless man like Lu Jinghuai would be willing to bully him.
"It's me."
Shen Wenran didn't care why Lu Jinghuai, who had promised to save his white moonlight, had suddenly arrived at the hospital.
They simply went straight into the ward.
To avoid being misunderstood, they would even close the door.
"Sister, did you come to see me especially?"
Bian Xiaoan's smile was so pure and innocent that she felt a little embarrassed to say no.
She did not answer the question directly.
Instead, he asked, "I heard you're no longer with Jincheng."
Bian Xiaoan nodded: "Yes, President Lu had the boss fire me."
Shen Wenran: "..."
That's so heartless! They've ruined my livelihood.
Bian Xiaoan continued, "Moreover, he also had my acting career ended, and I may never be able to appear on screen again."
After saying this, Bian Xiaoan lowered her head, her long eyelashes like brushes, and her thin little body.
Shen Wenran admitted that she had softened her heart.
So he blurted out, "It's fine if I don't become an artist. How about this, I'll be your assistant."
“I recently signed with Jincheng, and the company has assigned me an agent. I don’t have an assistant yet.”
"Really?"
Bian Xiaoan's previously dim eyes now shone brightly.
Shen Wenran gritted her teeth: "Really."
She suddenly didn't know whether this decision was right or wrong.
She brought Lu Jinghuai's ex-boyfriend to her side; wasn't that just creating obstacles in the path of the male and female leads' love?
The fact that she was between these two people was already difficult enough.
Now she can only pray silently that bringing Bian Xiaoan to her side might prevent the little guy from ruining the relationship between the two of them.
...
Ye Nanxing never imagined that she would be kidnapped.
But reality told her that she had indeed been kidnapped.
The man was wearing a mask and sunglasses, completely covering himself up, but she could still see his emotionless eyes through the sunglasses.
Unfortunately, her mouth was gagged, so she could only make muffled sounds.
"Shut up, stop shouting. I told you it's no use shouting, nobody here can hear you."
Ye Nanxing was panting, not daring to relax for a moment.
She tried to break free when the man wasn't looking.
This resulted in her wrists burning from being rubbed raw by the rope.
The man approached step by step.
A pair of venomous eyes scrutinized her from head to toe.
"Designer Ye, Lu Jinghuai's childhood sweetheart, the woman he almost spent his life with three years ago."
"He must love you very much."
Ye Nanxing shook his head desperately.
Having been captured by this guy, she finally understood why.
The reason this guy arrested her was because of a personal grudge with Lu Jinghuai.
He hated Lu Jinghuai, so he captured and tortured the woman he loved, all to make Lu Jinghuai suffer.
