Chapter 244 I Was Counter-Taken by the Male Lead (32)
Sun Mingyu disappeared that day. He was found unconscious by the teahouse staff.
Sun Mingyu is the only son of the Sun family, and he is extremely pampered. His personality is partly due to the Sun family's indulgence.
Because no matter what happens, there will always be someone to clean up his mess.
Although the person was sent to the hospital, the situation was far from optimistic. When the Sun family heard the news that Sun Mingyu might become mentally disabled in the future, they felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
Sun's father was furious and immediately sent people to investigate, but before they could find anything, trouble struck the Sun family.
Although Qin Nuan recognized Jiang Rou, she did not tell the Meng family. Before things were settled, she did not want her sister to be known so quickly, for fear that someone in desperation might take advantage of Jiang Rou.
She naturally contributed to the Sun family's affairs, and she even had the idea of taking a bite out of them if she couldn't bring them down.
The Sun family was quite well-known in Kyoto, and Sun's father was certainly not an incompetent person. However, no one could resist the temptation of huge profits.
When competing with the Meng family for a project, the two families refused to give in to each other. This went on for several months, and in the end, Sun's father won the project.
Seeing Sun's father's happy expression, Qin Nuan thought to herself with a hint of sarcasm. Such a big cake, isn't he afraid of stuffing Sun's mother to death? I'm afraid that if she can't finish the cake, she'll end up in trouble herself.
Sun's father was overjoyed during those two months. Even his still unconscious son couldn't dampen his spirits. He was not even fifty years old, so his son could naturally have another child.
But the joy lasted only two months. The project was a money pit in its early stages, with most of the Sun family's funds invested. However, the Sun family's cash flow suddenly dried up, and the project became a mess. Sun's father was so angry that he almost fainted.
Left with no other choice, they had to cut their losses and survive. But fate was unkind. Just as everyone in the company was facing the panic of impending unemployment, another misfortune struck: their boss was arrested.
Before anyone could understand what was going on, several news items quickly topped the trending searches online, each followed by a bright red "hot" tag.
Sun owed wages and beat workers who demanded payment, causing them to become disabled.
Breaking news! Sun's family evaded taxes.
Breaking news! The president of the Sun Group has been taken away by relevant authorities.
....
Looking at the news online, a smile appeared on Jiang Rourou's beautiful face. She touched her chest and comforted herself: Trust me, I will help you.
His heart pounded a few more times, as if in response to her words.
After 021's heartbeat returned to normal, Jiang Rou looked at its eager expression and nodded with satisfaction, saying quite generously:
"Well done, here's a reward of a few bags of snacks for you, go buy some."
Then cheers erupted from 021.
After resting for twenty minutes, Jiang Rou got up and walked towards the classroom. Her schedule was very full, just like today, even though it was the weekend, she still didn't have time to rest.
This class was classical dance. Jiang Rou was wearing a fitted white chiffon leotard. Her back was straight and her posture was elegant. After a simple warm-up, the training began.
Watching her fluid yet powerful movements, and the changes in her facial expressions along with the dance moves, the instructors training her couldn't help but nod in approval. She's quick to learn, intelligent, and hardworking—a promising talent.
When Xie Nan arrived, he saw this scene: in the empty dance studio, a young girl was dancing with great passion. With each twirl, she resembled a blooming magnolia flower. Her disheveled hair did not look messy; instead, it added a touch of magic to her under the setting sun.
Xie Nan simply gazed at the figure before him, all the weariness of the past few days vanished, and the tenderness that belonged only to him was now fully revealed.
As Jiang Rou finished her dance and emerged from her immersive world, she heard crisp applause. Turning around, she saw Xie Nan, whom she hadn't seen in a long time. Her eyes lit up instantly, but then turned pitiful in the next instant.
"Anan, I'm so tired."
As she spoke, she stretched out her arm toward Xie Nan, her almond-shaped eyes slightly drooping. Just looking at him like that would soften anyone's heart, let alone Xie Nan.
Xie Nan walked over in a few steps, picked up the person sitting on the ground and carried her in his arms. He felt a little sorry for her when he saw that she was covered in sweat. He lowered his head to kiss her, but Jiang Rou dodged him.
"You're sweating, and you're so dirty."
Xie Nan chuckled softly upon hearing this, then lowered his head and kissed Jiang Rou's forehead, his voice full of tenderness:
"It smells good, and it's not dirty at all."
He placed her on the small sofa, took out the package he had brought, and arranged the items on the table one by one. Listening to Jiang Rou's exclamations of surprise, his smile deepened.
Looking at the dishes on the table, all of which were Jiang Rou's favorites, and Xie Nan had brought them all, Jiang Rou smiled even more happily. She hugged Xie Nan's waist and nestled in his arms.
"Anan, you're so good to me, I feel like I can't live without you."
Xie Nan's eyes darkened slightly upon hearing this, but returned to normal after a moment. He served Jiang Rou some food while taking out a tissue to wipe her sweat.
Jiang Rou even proactively leaned her little face closer and very naturally ordered Xie Nan, "Wipe your face here too, you've sweated a lot."
At this moment, she turned her face towards Xie Nan, looking at him with lingering eyes, complaining softly, her expression coquettish. Although Xie Nan's hands were moving, his burning eyes were fixed on Jiang Rou without blinking.
He's been incredibly busy lately. The company is in its early stages of development, and many aspects are still under construction. He doesn't have many capable people around him, and it's been a long time since he's been this close to Jiang Rou.
Seeing her still-talking red lips, Xie Nan silenced her before she could finish her kiss with a kiss. After the kiss ended, noticing Jiang Rou's somewhat dazed expression, he whispered words of comfort:
"I've been too busy and neglected my darling. I'll apologize to you, okay?"
Jiang Rou was already dazed from the kiss, and hearing his hoarse, deep voice made her even more mesmerized. She nodded without hearing what he said.
Then came an even more intense kiss. Jiang Rou regretted it, but it was too late. She could only let him do as he pleased, her slender arms loosely encircling his neck.
Afterwards, Jiang Rou angrily ignored Xie Nan, while Xie Nan, who looked satisfied, naturally lowered his stance and acted humble in front of her.
Then, college student A discovered that the couple who had recently disappeared from public view had reappeared, even more affectionately than before, their love so sweet it was overwhelming.
As summer vacation approached, Xie Nan's company was beginning to take shape, and he was freed from trivial matters, no longer as busy as before.
With more time on his hands, he spent it all clinging to Jiang Rou. When Jiang Rou was in class, he would wait outside the door. When Jiang Rou was resting, he would bring her tea and water, massage her back and legs. When Jiang Rou finished class, he would drive his newly bought car around to relax her.
They took all of Xiao Yu's work as her assistant.
That's right, Xiao Yu officially became Jiang Rou's assistant. When she learned that her goddess had decided to enter the entertainment industry, she jumped for joy. When she found out that she was also her goddess's assistant, she was so happy that she saw stars.
Watching the two walk away hand in hand once again, Xiao Yu gazed at them with starry eyes.
She couldn't be happier! Not only does she get to be a close-up fan of a couple, but she also gets paid. Her mom says she's lucky, and it's true.
