NOVPUBChen Nan’s words gained a lot of approval.
For a moment.
Many people pointed and whispered about Li Xiang.
The look in their eyes was filled with disgust, believing that he should not tarnish Wang Li’s reputation.
Of course.
A few also thought it unusual that Wang Li had become the deputy director of the publicity department at such a young age, suggesting that there must be unknown secrets and stories behind it.
Hearing the accusations around him, Li Xiang’s eyes revealed barely contained rage as he fiercely glared at Chen Nan and gritted his teeth, "Who the hell are you? Is this your place to speak?"
Chen Nan walked over to Wang Li and wrapped an arm around her slender waist, calmly asking, "She’s my girlfriend. You publicly slander my girlfriend, so tell me, do I have a right to speak here?"
Wang Li did not expect Chen Nan to announce their relationship in public.
After a brief shock.
A surge of emotion rose in her heart.
But more than that, a profound sense of security.
It felt as if with this man by her side, even if the sky fell, she wouldn’t be afraid.
She turned to Li Xiang, her tone calm, "Li Xiang, I was planning to privately tell you about our breakup when you returned, but since you proposed in public, I’ll speak my heart out here!"
"I’m truly tired of the long-distance relationship."
"Every time I needed you, you weren’t here by my side."
"When I was sick, I had to go to the hospital alone; when I was sad, I could only cry quietly by myself."
"Chen Nan appeared when I needed someone the most, offering me companionship and care."
"I know this may hurt you, but love cannot be forced."
"I hope you can understand."
"And I hope you can find the true happiness that belongs to you in the future."
Listening to Wang Li’s words, Li Xiang’s expression turned extremely ugly, his eyes filled with reluctance and anger, "Wang Li, how can you be so heartless? Have all our years together been so easily discarded by you?"
Chen Nan spoke up, "Love is a matter of two people. Since Wang Li has made her choice, you should respect her decision. Don’t keep dragging this out; it’s not good for anyone."
People around them started whispering among themselves.
Some thought Wang Li made the right choice, as long-distance relationships are indeed hard.
Others thought Wang Li was being heartless, given her long relationship with Li Xiang.
But no matter what everyone thought, this was ultimately a matter for the three of them, and it wasn’t right for others to interfere too much.
Wang Li’s eyes showed a hint of guilt, "I’m sorry."
Having said that, she took Chen Nan’s hand and headed towards the parking lot in the distance.
Watching the two leave, Li Xiang clenched his fists tightly, his eyes revealing intense fury. He silently vowed to make this adulterous couple pay a painful price!
------
"Thanks for helping me out just now, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to face Li Xiang’s harassment!"
After getting into the car, Wang Li didn’t start the vehicle immediately but looked gratefully at Chen Nan.
Chen Nan grinned, "Talking like this between us feels a bit too formal, doesn’t it?"
A charming blush instantly spread across Wang Li’s face.
Indeed.
She and Chen Nan’s relationship had already reached a point where no thanks were needed; they knew each other thoroughly.
Thinking this, she looked Chen Nan up and down, unable to resist saying, "Is your wound healed?"
She had visited Chen Nan in the ward that morning and even frolicked carefreely on his waist.
However.
At that time, Chen Nan couldn’t move at all.
But now he appeared as lively and vigorous as a dragon and tiger, which made people marvel at his miraculous recovery.
Even seeing it with her own eyes, she felt amazed as if witnessing something divine.
Chen Nan raised an eyebrow, "Do you have plans tonight?"
Wang Li blushed and said, "I’ll listen to you."
Chen Nan, struggling to contain his excitement, said, "It’s been a long time since I played poker, let’s invite a friend over and the three of us play ’Landlord’ together!"
Unable to help herself, Wang Li retorted, "What’s so fun about playing ’Landlord’?" saying this as she started the car, preparing to leave the parking lot.
But at this moment,
Chen Nan’s voice rang out again, "My friend is a woman, too. You two be the farmers, and I’ll be the landlord. Don’t you think that sounds interesting?" he said, giving Wang Li a meaningful smile.
Wang Li’s pupils trembled violently.
Only at this moment,
did she clearly realize
what Chen Nan meant by playing ’Landlord’.
He wanted her and another woman to serve him together!
"Men are no good, and you’re no exception!" Wang Li said angrily with a flushed face, then drove off from the parking lot.
Meanwhile,
Chen Nan also sent a message to Xu Lu, asking her to come to Shanshui Manor.
This was one of the top five-star hotels in Jizhou.
The price for a regular room started at over a thousand.
And the price for a presidential suite was even more staggering, reaching over ten thousand per night.
Upon arriving at Shanshui Manor, Chen Nan rented a large bed room and ordered some Western food, instructing the hotel staff to bring it to his room later.
After doing all this, he went into the bathroom to take a shower.
But at this moment,
he received a call from Jiang Li.
As soon as the call connected, the cold voice of Officer Jiang came through, "Chen Nan, where are you? Who allowed you to be discharged? Get back here immediately!"
She had been in a meeting and had set her phone to silent mode, not receiving Chen Nan’s call. After the meeting ended, she discovered that Chen Nan had messaged her saying he had checked himself out.
This scared Officer Jiang quite a bit. Although Chen Nan’s injuries were not very severe, the doctor had said he needed to rest in bed for a while.
She was really afraid that Chen Nan wouldn’t listen to the doctor and something might go wrong with his health.
Chen Nan gave a wry smile, "Officer Jiang, my injuries have already healed, and there’s no need to stay in the hospital wasting money."
Jiang Li snorted coldly, asking in annoyance, "Do you think I would believe your tall tales?"
She knew the extent of his injuries better than Chen Nan did, especially the abrasion on his elbow, which couldn’t possibly heal in just three to five days.
Chen Nan sighed helplessly, "If you don’t believe me, then let’s do a video call!"
"But, I’m currently taking a shower. Are you sure you want to see?"
Jiang Li laughed softly, "Let’s see, what’s the big deal? It’s not like I haven’t seen your body before." Saying this, she hung up the phone and started a video call.
Chen Nan, with an embarrassed face, answered Jiang Li’s video call and aimed the phone camera at his injured area.
The wound, which had been gruesomely bleeding, had now formed a scab, causing Jiang Li on the other end of the video to gasp, initially not believing that Chen Nan’s injuries had healed already.
Seeing it now, she suddenly felt a tingling in her scalp, an eerie chill.
Clearly, she hadn’t expected his injuries to heal so quickly.
"Looking at your background, you seem to be in some hotel, right?" Regaining her composure, Jiang Li showed a suggestive smile, "You wouldn’t by any chance have gone to a hotel with some woman, would you?"
