Chapter 328: Chapter 328: What is Bai Yueguang?
Yuan Feng died?
Jiang Nanshu thought that although he was severely injured, it wasn’t his time to die yet, his lover hadn’t been cured, so how could he have died?
Lu Qingyan saw Jiang Nanshu in a daze, and finding the monk’s robe she was wearing really an eyesore, he went out. Five minutes later, he came back in, holding a shopping bag in his hand: “There are new clothes inside, take off the monk’s robe you’re wearing first, it doesn’t look good!”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
She looked down at herself.
Although the thing was a bit large, it was wearable.
The encounter with Zhou Yanxu from last night flashed through her mind, void of any joy and ending in an unpleasant parting, Jiang Nanshu couldn’t possibly go back to him.
Lu Qingyan, seeing her just staring at the clothes, was half mad with irritation.
Was she reminiscing about someone through these clothes?
He locked the door of the ward, then personally started to help her undress: “Wear something more form-fitting, this is too loose, it can let the wind in.”
Jiang Nanshu clutched her own collar tightly: “I’m not cold, let go first.”
“This clothing offends me.” His voice was slightly cold as he made this articulated complaint.
“…”
“Lu Qingyan!” Her voice contained a touch of annoyance.
Heh, she’s irritated, no more endearments, she’s calling the full name now, he felt even more encouraged, and pulled the new apricot sweater over her head.
Jiang Nanshu capitulated: “Alright, alright, I’ll change myself, you go out.”
Lu Qingyan then let go of her, not making it difficult for her, and gave her a gentle smile: “Okay.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
After confirming that Lu Qingyan had gone out, she began to change her clothes. Jiang Nanshu considered for a long time and decided to take the coffee-colored monk’s robe with her for the time being.
When she came out, Lu Qingyan’s gaze immediately fell on the neatly folded monk’s robe in her hand.
[Why do you always stare at my monk’s robe? It’s a memento from Yulin Temple. Or do you want to wear it? It’s a small size; it wouldn’t fit you. If you want one, go get it from the temple yourself!]
Lu Qingyan heard her inner grumbling and the firm set of her little face.
With pursed lips, he ultimately said nothing, and instead, taking her hand, he said: “Let’s go.”
Jiang Nanshu breathed a sigh of relief.
She just assumed that Lu Qingyan was being moody; at least they hadn’t been seen by two other people, which would have affected her progress in completing tasks.
Thinking of this.
The warmth from the palm of her hand transmitted to her, brightening Jiang Nanshu’s sullen mood by quite a bit. She took the initiative to cling to his arm, the formerly serious face now replaced with a smile: “Sweetheart, I want to eat clay pot rice, I’m hungry.”
“Clay pot rice?” Lu Qingyan hadn’t eaten such things before.
Jiang Nanshu nodded: “Mhm, it’s really delicious, haven’t you eaten it before?”
Lu Qingyan shook his head: “No.”
Ever since he was a child, Lu Mother was very strict with him, and later on, as his academic burden increased, his diet was precisely planned by a professional nutritionist in terms of meat and vegetable balance. He never specifically went out of his way to eat anything.
“I’ll join you, but you have to drink the porridge first, you haven’t eaten much all day.”
Only then did Jiang Nanshu notice that he was holding a takeaway box, with a serving of porridge inside, still warm, likely brought alongside the clothes.
“Thank you.”
Lu Qingyan responded with a hum through his nose: “Mhm, you know who treats you well now, don’t you?”
“…”
Why is he always harping on who treats her well?
Jiang Nanshu responded obligingly: “Mhm, it’s you, you treat me the best, you’re my precious treasure, alright now?”
Lu Qingyan: “…”
Speechless!
Jiang Nanshu really didn’t have much of an appetite, took a bite and then set it aside.
Lu Qingyan didn’t force her to finish it and drove her back to Port City. When they arrived, it was already 9 PM.
They found a local food city and located a clay pot rice restaurant. It wasn’t a high-end dining venue but a bustling street market.
Jiang Nanshu ordered a few dishes, and they chose a spot with fewer people.
By the time all the dishes were on the table, Jiang Nanshu picked up some stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts with her chopsticks and offered them to Lu Qingyan, “Try this.”
These were all home-style stir-fries, nowhere near as exquisite or luxurious as other dishes.
Their meal didn’t even come to a hundred yuan.
It was then that Jiang Nanshu felt like eating and, not paying much attention to Lu Qingyan, began to enjoy her food.
Lu Qingyan picked up a piece with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
The taste was standard, not bad.
“The crew has shut down for three days,” Jiang Nanshu said, showing her phone with the group message from the crew to Lu Qingyan.
Jiang Nanshu opened a photo, which was of Su Ran being taken away by the police.
“How did your ‘Bai Yueguang’ end up in the police station?” asked Jiang Nanshu.
Lu Qingyan held his bowl and slightly furrowed his brows upon hearing this, “I don’t know, what’s ‘Bai Yueguang’?”
“‘Bai Yueguang’ refers to someone you never forget, the unattainable love,” Jiang Nanshu explained.
So she had been mocking him about Su Ran being his ‘Bai Yueguang’, and he didn’t even know?
“I don’t have a ‘Bai Yueguang’. Do you?” Lu Qingyan countered.
Their eyes met.
Jiang Nanshu laughed as she answered, “I have you now. Why would I need a ‘Bai Yueguang’? Let me go ask around to see what’s going on with Su Ran.”
After inquiring around,
She summed up the situation.
“I just got it clear, sister woke up and reported the case, explained everything from beginning to end clearly. Upon investigation, the three deceased people were trying to kill her, but all died accidentally. The police went to Cenling Mountain to gather evidence and found that what sister said was all true. They tracked the investigation to Su Ran, and now she’s one of the suspects, undergoing police interrogation,” Jiang Nanshu looked at Lu Qingyan with a grin, “This leading lady Su Ran is really at her end.”
With such a big incident,
Director Wen wouldn’t possibly continue to want her to play the lead in the drama.
An actress tainted with scandal, even if wronged, would find it difficult to clear her name.
Unless something unexpected happened, Su Ran’s career in the entertainment industry was pretty much over.
Lu Qingyan glanced away, “It has nothing to do with me.”
“Do you think she will go to prison?” asked Jiang Nanshu.
“No,” Lu Qingyan replied succinctly.
Jiang Nanshu looked at him in surprise, “How can you be so sure?”
Lu Qingyan’s mouth curved into a light smile, “Port City’s Zhou Yanbai has not fallen yet. If he doesn’t save her, Su Ran will have to bear some responsibility for this incident. If he wants to save her, then she can come out safe and sound, but her reputation will be completely ruined.”
What he said coincided with what Jiang Nanshu was thinking.
It was very likely that Zhou Yanbai would pull Su Ran out of this.
“When are you going back to Beijing?”
“I’ll go back with you.”
Jiang Nanshu heard his phone ring.
There really wasn’t anything for Lu Qingyan to do here anymore.
“What about the issues with your company?” She had heard Grandpa Lu incessantly calling him.
It had to be about the company’s issues.
“It’s already resolved,” Lu Qingyan said and then changed the subject, “Let’s head back after we finish eating.”
Seeing that he insisted on staying in Port City, Jiang Nanshu didn’t feel like persuading him anymore.
But Lu Qingyan was worried that Jiang Nanshu would go back to the temple to find Zhou Yanxu.
If Jiang Nanshu knew what he was thinking, she certainly would have told him, you’re overthinking it.
Zhou Yanxu made his stance clear; there’s a limit to everything. Jiang Nanshu wouldn’t shamelessly go back again.
He had already denied her twice.
There wouldn’t be a third time.
