Chapter 954: Chapter 951: Haven’t Been Eating Well Lately (Chapters 950 & 951 Combined)

Nangong Xuan was filled with anger, but unfortunately, apart from here, he had nowhere else to go. His second uncle’s men must be waiting outside, and as soon as he left, he would be in danger.

He sighed in resignation, bit on the gauze again, and closed his eyes.

It’s uncertain whether Nangong Xuan’s calmness brought peace to Lu Xinyun’s heart or not. She looked at him for a while, then put her bag down and started to move...

A moment later, Nangong Xuan heard Lu Xinyun’s voice, as if she had made an important decision, "I’m going to start, hold on and don’t talk, otherwise I’ll hurt you."

With his eyes tightly closed, Nangong Xuan couldn’t help but want to laugh at the words. Removing a bullet without anesthesia and it won’t hurt?

He really couldn’t believe it.

The next second, the intense pain made him involuntarily twitch. To avoid affecting that woman, he bit down hard on the gauze, and his forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat from the pain.

Time ticked by slowly, and just when Nangong Xuan thought he would faint from the pain, he heard the woman’s relieved voice, "Okay, it’s finally out."

Hearing this, he completely fainted.

...

When he woke again, Nangong Xuan felt a dull pain coming from his abdomen. Although it couldn’t be ignored, it wasn’t so painful that he couldn’t move.

He raised his hand and only then realized that a blanket covered him, and his clothes were nowhere to be found.

He slowly sat up, finding himself dry, and looked down at his abdomen which was already bandaged with gauze, with no sign of bloodstains nearby.

After watching for a while, Nangong Xuan heard footsteps coming from the bathroom, looked up, and saw Lu Xinyun coming out with a dish in her hands.

Seeing him awake, she said with relief, "You’re finally awake, just in time to get up and eat something."

Nangong Xuan watched her without any noticeable reaction as she walked from the kitchen to the living room and back a few times before handing him a pair of chopsticks and a bowl.

He took them, his gaze still fixed on her.

Lu Xinyun finally noticed something was wrong and looked at him, her gaze lingering on his abdomen, "What’s wrong? Does it still hurt so much that you don’t have an appetite?"

Nangong Xuan withdrew his gaze, shook his head, picked up some vegetables, and put them in his mouth. The taste of the light yet flavorful greens spread in his mouth, and he surprisingly felt his heartbeat slow by half a beat.

Seeing Nangong Xuan start eating, Lu Xinyun didn’t hold back either.

It was already past ten o’clock, and she was starving, if not for taking care of Nangong Xuan, she should have been asleep by now.

When the first bowl of rice was finished, Lu Xinyun went to get a second one, but a hand moved faster than her to take away the pot. She looked at him in horror, "What are you doing?"

"Eat less rice. You won’t starve." And it might even make you lose some weight.

In all the time he’d known Lu Xinyun, Nangong Xuan had never thought about wanting her to lose weight, not for any particular reason, just to see if she would look like what he imagined when slimmed down.

"You!" Lu Xinyun almost smashed her bowl in anger. She had been running around taking care of him since she came back, and not only did he not thank her, but he wouldn’t let her eat either?!

Her face suddenly turned stern, "Nangong Xuan, you’re going too far."

Yet, Nangong Xuan nonchalantly scooped all the rice from the pot into his bowl and put the empty pot back in front of her.

Lu Xinyun was dumbfounded, unable to believe that someone could be this way in a stranger’s home, this truly...

"Nangong Xuan," she said, "I’m not familiar with you at all, you’re really going overboard."

"You’re the only one I know in City B, the only one familiar to me."

The man’s voice was clear, he didn’t feel the least bit embarrassed.

Lu Xinyun finally understood, compared to this man’s thick skin, she couldn’t compete at all.

But little did she know, Nangong Xuan would be even more shameless later.

After dinner, Lu Xinyun washed up and came out to find Nangong Xuan lying back on the sofa without any intention of leaving.

So, she went over to ask him, "Why are you still on the sofa?"

Nangong Xuan didn’t even open his eyes at her words, "Otherwise, you let me have the bed?"

Lu Xinyun: "!!!"

She waited for a while but heard no response. Nangong Xuan opened his eyes, meeting her angry gaze. Strangely, he felt a sense of familiarity, reminiscent of someone when they’re angry, but he couldn’t remember who.

She reached out to him, "The key."

"What key?"

"Your dorm key," she said, "I don’t mind you sleeping here, but I won’t sleep in the same room with you. You may not care about your reputation, but I still want to get married in the future, so hand over the key."

At her mention of marrying, Nangong Xuan squinted slightly, "You plan on getting married?"

"Yes! Give it!"

Lu Xinyun internalized the clear reality. A man with Nangong Xuan’s exceptional looks surely wouldn’t be interested in a woman like her, she didn’t think much of it. Right now, what she needed to do was keep a distance from this man to avoid damaging her reputation.

She knew that in New City, inappropriate relationships between agents and artists existed, but she didn’t want that and wouldn’t go down that path.

With this mindset, Lu Xinyun’s stance became more determined.

Seeing her strong stance, Nangong Xuan felt like teasing her instead. If his subordinates knew, their jaws would probably hit the floor.

"With me around, no one dares to marry you." he stated confidently.

Lu Xinyun rolled her eyes at his words. Since tomorrow was the weekend, her brother should be home after his exam, and she decided to leave with her bag, leaving him alone in her dorm.

After leaving the dorm, Lu Xinyun called Lu Jincheng. After knowing he was on his way home, she unhesitatingly asked him to pick her up.

Lu Jincheng didn’t say anything, just told her to wait at the security post.

In less than fifteen minutes, Lu Jincheng’s car appeared outside the dormitory gate.

The car door opened, and even before seeing Lu Xinyun, her familiar complaining voice was already heard.

"Brother, how long will dad and mom keep playing before they come back?"

Lu Jincheng guessed that this little girl had probably been wronged outside. Taking his eyes off the reports in front of him, he looked at her, and in the next moment, he was slightly taken aback.

After not seeing her for half a month, he noticed that Lu Xinyun’s baby fat was not as pronounced, and she even seemed to have a pointy chin. Even her fitted sportswear appeared somewhat loose.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, "Haven’t been eating well lately?"

Still absorbed in her monologue, Lu Xinyun was momentarily stunned by her brother’s sudden question, then shook her head, "I’ve been cooking for myself these days. Brother, why would you ask that?"

Lu Jincheng withdrew his gaze, "Nothing." He ordered the driver to start the car, then asked, "Did you face any grievances outside?"
