Chapter 641: Chapter 429: Nanxi, don’t be afraid, I’m here [Extra Update]_1

Qi Qun has been married to Li Xiangchen for thirty years now, and throughout these years Li Xiangchen has ensured she didn’t live a hard life!

He gave her all the money and allowed her to make all the decisions. This home had always been ruled by Qi Qun, and to reduce conflict between them, Li Xiangchen often worked outside and seldom came home!

In her eyes, Li Xiangchen wasn’t a useless man, at least compared to many other men, he was much better!

He was hardworking, caring, and handsome in his youth; there were indeed girls who pursued him!

If not for this, even if Qi Qun wanted to take revenge on Xia Zhen back then, she would not have married him!

But even though Li Xiangchen was good, compared to Lu Wenming, they were not at the same level!

Lu Wenming was a soldier, strong and forceful. His power and masculinity far eclipsed the gentle charm of Li Xiangchen!

Qi Qun had always been domineering since her childhood, in her eyes, only a man who could overpower her could be called a man, and Li Xiangchen was obviously not that type!

Qi Qun didn’t love Li Xiangchen. She was very clear, from the moment that Lu Wenming decided to marry Xia Zhen and rejected her, it was impossible for her to have any love in her life!

At first, she thought she would live a plain life just like this, she had become accustomed to such a life and did not resist it continuing as such, but now Li Xiangchen was surprisingly thinking of divorcing her!

Returning to her room, Qi Qun’s heart was beating madly with confusion!

It was somewhat unbelievable, even more, she dared not believe, Divorce? After thirty years of marriage, although the feelings weren’t very good, half of their lives had passed and now he was considering a divorce!

Qi Qun bit her lip, trembling with anger. She reached out, brushed her hand over the calming tea at the edge of the table, the teacup fell to the ground with a crash, splattering tea everywhere!

Remembering something, she got up, opened the drawer, took out her purse, then took out the contract, read through it several times, put it back neatly, quickly got up again, and exited the room!

Qi Qun directly went downstairs and called for the servant, Sister He, who rushed in from outside, asking her, “What’s happened, Madam?”

“Go to the kitchen, make a pot of calming tea, remember to put extra jujube seeds, the master doesn’t like bitter tea!”

Sister He hesitated a moment, hadn’t she just made a pot a while ago? But she didn’t think too much about it, responded and went!

When Sister He returned from making the calming tea, it was already about ten minutes later, she saw Qi Qun sitting in the living room, her face didn’t look good, she hurriedly tried to hand the tea over, Qi Qun frowned, “Why are you so slow?”

Sister He opened her mouth to explain but Qi Qun had no patience to listen, “Alright alright, you can go now!”

As Sister He responded and was about to leave, Qi Qun’s eyes followed her, “Stop!”

Sister He stopped, “What happened, madam?”

Qi Qun noticed that Sister He was today wearing a watery red half-sleeve shirt and she looked rather charming wearing it!

Unknowingly, a surge of irritation came over her, “Why are you wearing so bright a color? Are you purposefully trying to hurt my eyes? From now on, don’t dress like this!”

Sister He turned pale with fright, “Madam, I’m sorry, I’ll change it right away, right away!”

Qi Qun was too lazy to bother with her, she picked up the tea and headed upstairs!

Sister He was in her early thirties, and had been working as a maid in the Li family for two years, she had always performed well, especially her culinary skills, Qi Qun had always been quite satisfied with her!

Actually, that outfit Sister He had also worn before, and Qi Qun hadn’t said anything about it!

But ever since she found out that her husband Li Xiangchen is considering divorcing her, Qi Qun has become somewhat sensitive, afraid that Li Xiangchen is really getting tired of her and looking for another woman!

A woman more gentle and caring than her!

Qi Qun took a deep breath, she couldn’t divorce Li Xiangchen! Under no circumstances could they divorce!

Qi Qun, holding the tea, went towards the guest room. At the entrance, the door was closed, indicating that Li Muyun had left. She pursed her lips and knocked on the door!

From inside came the low voice of Li Xiangchen, “Come in!”

Qi Qun didn’t hesitate, she reached out and opened the door!

Li Xiangchen was sitting on the bed, spectacles balanced on his nose, reading. His eyebrows furrowed at the sight of Qi Qun.

Qi Qun coughed lightly in embarrassment, “You forgot to have your calming tea! Without it, you’ll have trouble sleeping again!”

Having said that, she placed the tea on the bedside table and turned to leave.

“Wait!”

Li Xiangchen suddenly called out to her.

Qi Qun paused in her steps and turned back to look at him, “What is it? Is there something you want?”

Li Xiangchen pursed his lips, “Stay for a moment, I have something to say to you.”

Qi Qun flickered her eyes briefly and hurriedly said, “Let’s talk later, It’s the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, and we have to wake up early for the Lu family’s gathering. You should get some sleep now.” Without any further hesitation, she left the room.

Li Xiangchen watched her retreating figure, then glanced at the calming tea on the bedside table, his brows furrowing slightly.

…

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At the Lu Family residence.

Nanxi woke up early, very nervous.

Because today, both the Lu and Li families were gathering to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although Lu Yinchu had arranged everything in advance, no one could guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen. Moreover, deep down, Nanxi felt a little guilty, as if she was deceiving her grandfather and in-laws, and it didn’t feel good.

It wasn’t that a past romance was such a bad thing, but the fact that the person she had been involved with was Li Weihuan. Choosing the uncle over the nephew wasn’t a very tasteful choice, thus Nanxi was apprehensive.

She was happy and grateful to be accepted into the Lu family. She liked her grandfather, her father and mother-in-law, liked Qingtian, and liked every member of the Lu family.

At the same time, she also hoped that they would like her. Because of her hopes, she feared that her past, which they may not be able to forgive, would come to light, thereby tainting their admiration of her.

Her mind was in a mess, despite getting up early, she was too cowardly to go downstairs, so she grabbed hold of Lu Yinchu, hugging him tightly and refusing to let go, or move.

“Nanxi, there’s no need to be afraid, I’ll be by your side the whole time. If I’m around, what are you afraid of? Shall we go downstairs?” Lu Yinchu tried to reassure her again.

“No!” Nanxi refused, “Lu Yinchu, don’t try to talk so sensibly. You’re not in my position. You can’t understand how I’m feeling! I just can’t do it. I’m not an actor. What if our grandfather and my parents-in-law see through our act… I don’t want to go downstairs. I’m just not going! Lu Yinchu, I don’t want to go downstairs…”

Lu Yinchu sighed, “Silly girl, you can’t hide forever, you’ll have to face it sometime. Don’t be scared, I’m here!”noveldrama

“Even with you here, it won’t work! I don’t want to go, Lu Yinchu, I’m too scared…”

……

……

Despite Lu Yinchu’s repeated reassurances, Nanxi was still unwilling to go downstairs. For the first time, Lu Yinchu discovered the truly stubborn side of Nanxi.

But he understood, her fear and worry were all because she cared about every member of the Lu family, she cared about him…

“Nanxi, listen to me. You’re my wife now, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. Everyone in our family is your family, right? Let me ask you, would you despise your family for making a mistake or lying?”

Nanxi shook her head, “But…but…this is different! Lu Yinchu, it’s all your fault. Why didn’t you show up earlier in my life. It’s all you…all your fault…”

“Alright, blame me!” Lu Yinchu held her small face, kissing her lips before whispering,” But Nanxi, we have to face this. I know that you’re afraid that Grandfather and our parents will be disappointed and hurt. I am scared too, but more than that, I’m afraid of you getting hurt!”

Nanxi’s eyes flickered, she didn’t speak. Lu Yinchu continued, “My girl, listen to me. You’re my wife, the most important woman in my life. I love you, very very much. So, I’ll do everything I can to protect you. I won’t allow you to be hurt in any way. Trust me, everything will be alright. Shall we go downstairs now?”
