Chapter 1220 - Celestial Lover (1/2)

She felt a choking and itchy sensation in her throat.

“Sorry, Juanzi, I didn’t take care of our daughter well. It’s my fault… It’s all my fault! I didn’t even know she was pregnant and had a miscarriage. I’m not a good father! I’ve let you and Xiaonian down…”

Bai Xiaonian’s father’s voice, which was very low, could continuously be heard from the room. Holding back her tears, Bai Xiaonian turned around and walked out of the house, very gently closing the door behind her to not alarm her father.

It was unclear when Lu Jinnan went upstairs as well. He stood at the stairs, leaning against the rails as he smoked.

Seeing Bai Xiaonian come out, Lu Jinnan put out his cigarette and turned to look at her…

Bai Xiaonian’s tears flooded her face in an instant. She leaned against the door and shielded her eyes with her arms, weeping softly.

Her emotions, which had been suppressed for so long, welled up inside of her in an instant.

Lu Jinnan felt terribly upset upon seeing Bai Xiaonian reveal her fragile side. His lips parted and closed, not knowing what to say to comfort her. Also, he feared that if he were to walk over and hug her, Bai Xiaonian would put up resistance!

He could only stand where he was and helplessly watch the brokenhearted Bai Xiaonian.

Over this period of time, regarding his and Bai Xiaonian’s relationship… Lu Jinnan felt very anxious too.

Bai Xiaonian’s attitude towards Lu Jinnan now had changed. There wasn’t hatred, and she no longer avoided him either. It was like she now regarded Lu Jinnan as an ordinary person she happened to know. She was even able to sit down and have a meal with Lu Jinnan. Her intent to keep Lu Jinnan at arm’s length was blatant, seeping into his every pore.

Bai Xiaonian’s every word and action made it seem as if she could get along peacefully with Lu Jinnan, but he understood… Bai Xiaonian truly intended to let go of him, to treat him as the good friend of Lin Nuan’s husband.

She wasn’t ignoring him. She was speaking to him… but it was obvious that he absolutely didn’t stand a single chance. It made him feel awful.

Lu Jinnan had been trying to close the distance between him and Bai Xiaonian, but he couldn’t find a way to break through.

Today, with Bai Xiaonian leaning against her entrance and crying hard with her eyes shielded, Lu Jinnan finally had some hope of a breakthrough.

At the very least, Bai Xiaonian was no longer emotionless in front of him.

…

Yun Liuli was going to film “Forest Adventures” today. As she belonged to the same agency as Fu Tianci, the two of them set off together.

Fang Yan said she had spoken to the production crew, so they wouldn’t try to pair Fu Tianci and her up to bring up ratings. She told Yun Liuli to participate with peace of mind.

Fang Yan also instructed Yun Liuli, “Your public persona is ‘the brave girl fighting for her love.’ Don’t do anything to wreck the persona!”

“But… I’ve succeeded in wooing him!” Yun Liuli asked earnestly, “Can I announce it on the show?”

Fang Yan was rendered speechless.

“Don’t announce it yet!” Fang Yan responded. “Since you’re the brave girl fighting for her love, you ought to continue pursuing him for some time in order to show your determination and courage!”

“I’ve been pursuing him a long time!” Yun Liuli looked truly conflicted.

It had been so hard for her to finally get together with Gu Qingcheng. Now that she finally succeeded, why wasn’t she allowed to announce it?

“In any case, just say you’re still in the midst of pursuing. An image like yours is very inspirational. It’ll encourage many young people who dare not confess to their crushes! Take it as doing a good deed…” Fang Yan’s tone didn’t leave any room for negotiation. She continued, “Also, I’ve handed you to another manager, Xing Qiaoman. She’ll be in charge of you and Fu Tianci in the future! You’ll see her when you get to the filming location. She’ll be attending the show with you guys this time!”
