She took out her phone, and sent a blessing to him across the ocean.
[Happy New Year.]
Lu Qingyan didn’t reply.
[The male lead’s goodwill value is 75%.]
When spring arrived, Jiang Nanshu accompanied Mrs. Ji for a surgery.
Fortunately, it was very successful. Next came the recovery period, and there were no worsenings of the condition.
After resting in the hospital for a month, Mrs. Ji successfully returned home.
She had beaten cancer and survived.
With that came the start of Jiang Leyi’s new drama.
The filming location was still set in Port City, and Jiang Nanshu, being the martial arts director, got into the scene.
Several months later, she returned.
She discovered that Zhou Yanbai’s career had suffered a significant hit, and surprisingly, Su Ran was by his side.
However, her belly, which should have been due according to the timeline, had now flattened.
Through gossip from Jiang Leyi, Jiang Nanshu came to know.
Su Ran was abandoned by Liang Ciqiu, returned to Port City, got hit by Zhou Yanbai by accident resulting in a miscarriage, and had been ambiguously following him ever since.
When Jiang Nanshu encountered Su Ran’s resentful gaze,
she just brushed past it.
People who only blame their misfortune on others truly don’t deserve to be the leading lady of this world.
She focused on her work.
And juggled her studies.
Occasionally, when she thought of Lu Qingyan, she would send a few messages in his chat.
Even though Lu Qingyan never replied.
Spring passed and autumn arrived.
Jiang Nanshu entered her sophomore year.
Lu Qingyan’s goodwill value had increased to 90% over these six months.
He was indeed a strange person.
His goodwill value surged when he wasn’t around.
When Jiang Nanshu celebrated her twentieth birthday, she became famous.
It was due to the advertisement she shot under Fang Minghe’s company that went viral.
Unexpectedly, it was Jiang Leyi who brought her the fame.
Her new drama was completed.
Director Wen released some everyday bloopers of the actors, coincidentally including her.
Jiang Nanshu gained recognition for her beauty and won over many fans with her strong Hua Country martial arts skills, earning the nickname "Wifey".
Her past experiences were also dug up, including her Mid-Autumn Festival performance from the previous year.
Thousands wrote petitions, requesting her to star in a leading female martial arts TV drama.
Jiang Nanshu straightforwardly declined.
She wasn’t entering the entertainment industry.
[Aah, wifey! Wifey! You’re so beautiful, and your fighting scenes are so fierce, it’s unjust for you not to join the industry! I beg you, I really can’t stand the current TV dramas, I’m so hungry, so hungry haha!]
[The comment above is spot on. With you and Sister Yiyi debuting as sister flowers, you’d be invincible alright, no one in the entire entertainment industry could match your beauty! You are truly a blessing to us beauty lovers. Oh my, am I destined to spend days hunting down photos of Nanshu? Ugh, it’s tough!]
Jiang Nanshu looked at these comments and found them somewhat amusing.
So, she took a screenshot and sent it to Lu Qingyan.
She had been sending messages to him for nearly a year.
Lu Qingyan hadn’t replied to a single one.
Jiang Nanshu even suspected if he had changed his number.
Later on, Jiang Nanshu just treated his WeChat as a venting trash bin.
[The male lead’s goodwill value is 95%.]
Jiang Nanshu’s hand paused as she was typing a message.
The first day the civil affairs office was back in business, she followed Lu Qingyan inside.
Jiang Nanshu looked at the household registration book she sneaked out and glanced sideways at him.
Having not seen him for over a year, his brows and eyes appeared clearer, his hair was cut short, his facial contours were sharper, and when he lowered his eyebrows, they cast a shadow, giving him a somewhat cold look.
"Are you sure... you want to marry me so suddenly?"
Primarily because Lu Qingyan did not seem like someone with a 99% goodwill rating.
Even standing together, there seemed to be a distance as wide as the Chu-Han boundary between them.
"What? Not willing? Aren’t you supposed to compensate me? Just marry me."
His tone was indifferent, his dark eyes calm, dressed in a dark coat, his facial features more defined.
"You do not look like you want to get married."
"Do you?" he countered.
Jiang Nanshu: "..."
Her grip on the household registration book tightened, "Maybe... let’s forget it."
"It’s your turn, come fill out the forms," called the staff at the window.
Lu Qingyan scoffed lightly and began writing his information.
Jiang Nanshu, gritting her teeth, reluctantly wrote hers, vaguely thinking she might have been too impulsive.
During the photo session, she was a bit nervous.
"You young couple there, why stand so far apart? Be happy, it’s your marriage, smile a bit."
Jiang Nanshu struggled to smile.
Lu Qingyan pulled her close, their arms pressed tightly together.
It was then that Jiang Nanshu finally raised a smile, and Lu Qingyan’s lips curled slightly.
She still couldn’t believe it when the marriage certificate was handed to her.
She had had a flash marriage with Lu Qingyan.
[Ding, the male lead’s goodwill value has reached 100%, congratulations Host on completing the mission, please select a location for your suicide, to detach from the world.]
