Wen Nuan has been locking herself up at home since she came back from Qianyu.
She accidentally found a box of 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzles from a corner, and sat cross-legged on the ground, working tirelessly to put them together. She let the sun rise and set outside the window and she lost track of time. After a few days, only the central part was left. Even though her back ached, she still concentrated on connecting the pieces one by one.
Just when she thought the puzzle was almost complete, she discovered that the most important piece was missing. She searched the entire house and still couldn't find it. A small black hole was left on the cracked puzzle, like an unhealable wound.
It seemed like not long after, yet it seemed like she had no idea what year or month it was, Zhu Linlu called her and asked her to go to a private club. Since he resigned as the general manager of Daizhong, he had been flying back and forth between this city, Macau and Las Vegas. It was more difficult for her to find him than before, and every time she could only wait for him to show up.
Zhu Linlu was shocked when he saw her, "Nuannuan, are you sick?!"
She touched her thin face and knew she looked haggard without looking in the mirror. She smiled at him and said, "Yes, I am lovesick. I miss you so much that I am losing my mind."
He was both angry and amused, "You know how to joke, it seems you're not that bad."
"Linlu." She couldn't help but ask the question that had been in her mind for a long time, "Your plan for Nan Xian is to use him step by step to bring down Daizhong?"
"It's true that I am using him, but the key is that he has to be willing to be used by me. Do you think he doesn't know my intentions? Eating Daizhong will only benefit Qianyu, so he is happy to follow the long line I laid out."
She felt a little annoyed, "You and him both knew the whole thing, but you kept it from me. Why didn't you tell me in advance?" She was made to act like a villain again and again.
Zhu Linlu laughed, "If I told you first, how would I know how you treat me?"
She almost wanted to throw her chopsticks at him, "Are you satisfied now?!"
"Satisfied, very satisfied, hahaha." Zhu Linlu dodged the napkin that she crumpled into a ball and threw at him with a smile on his face, "I knew that you only love me in this world, right?" His bright eyes half-narrowed with a smile, and he inadvertently glanced towards the door not far away where she had her back to.
Wen Nuan stood up suddenly in annoyance.
Zhu Linlu hurriedly raised his hands in surrender, "My dear girlfriend, I was wrong! I deserve to die! I'm sorry, please give me another chance..." He said pitifully.
She couldn't help but laugh at his provocation, rolled her eyes at him, and finally sat down.
He smiled in agreement, narrowing his narrow eyes. She had her back to the door and couldn't see it. Just now, two figures were passing by. When he deliberately said provocatively a vow that originally belonged only to her and someone, he was unsurprisingly received two cold glances from someone.
It seemed that every time he made an appointment with Wen Nuan, this person would show up. He didn't believe it could be such a coincidence. What he couldn't believe even more was that this time it was so coincidental that even that person looked thinner and less handsome. At first glance, he looked more listless and depressed than ever before.
His eyes glanced at the warm man sitting opposite him. What happened during the days he was away
She didn't notice his abnormality, and just asked, "Now that you have left Daizhong, is everything fine between you and Nanxian?"
