My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 1055

Chapter 1055 Her Younger Self

Nan Chen quietly gazed at Nan Xing, hoping to discern the latter's exact goal from the face that was almost identical to his.

Alas, he could not glean anything. All he could see was solemnity.

“You're not an ordinary employee, so you can't just resign on a whim. You know very well the importance of your role in the company. Although Nanshi Corporation is led by the Nan family, there's a mixture of various forces in this organization. Having you here eases a lot of the pressure on me,” he uttered calmly.

Nan Xing remained silent.

In truth, he understood that.

But even so, he wanted to resign, for he also felt hurt.

He had finally found a woman he fancied.

He loved her to the core, but just as he was about to make an effort to pursue her, she was suddenly driven away in a fit of anger.

That gave him a sudden feeling of being lost and unsettled, a profound sense of aggravation welling within him.

“I'm not joking around, Chen. I really want to leave. Back then, I was the one who brought Lu Jingyuan here from the capital. Now that she has left in a huff, I want to go with her.”

Nan Chen abruptly jerked his head up. “Not only are you resigning, but you're also leaving Flower City?”

“Yes. I owe it to her. I need to take her back to the capital and stay with her there until she changes her mind one day and is willing to return to Flower City with me. Only then will I come back,” Nan Xing replied.

“You've made up your mind about this?” Nan Chen asked.

“Yes, that's my decision,” Nan Xing answered.

“Are you really going to do this for a woman?” Nan Chen questioned coldly.

“Would you be upset if Grandma made Ning Ran leave in a fit of pique, Chen?”

“Yeah,” Nan Chen replied without hesitation.

However, the conversation then took a turn as he continued, “But I won't abandon everything to follow her. As a descendant of the Nan family, we have our own responsibilities to bear. We can't just do as we please.”

Nan Xing nodded. “I agree with that, but shouldn't we also have our own lives apart from our duties?”

“Of course.”

“There you have it. I'm leaving.”

“If the higher-ups in the company were to learn that you resigned because of Lu Jingyuan, you'll become a laughingstock. They will say you're unfit to be entrusted with anything, a mediocre man who prefers the love of a woman over his career,” Nan Chen warned.

“That's just who I am,” said Nan Xing.

Words promptly eluded Nan Chen.

Meanwhile, Lu Jingyuan knew that it was definitely Nan Xing's doing that her two children were not coming home.

Nonetheless, she was unbothered since she could just change her flight ticket.

They would be leaving sooner or later, so she had no problem allowing them to play with Ning Ran's two children for a few more days.

In fact, she could enjoy some peace and quiet by herself. It was quite nice to read some books at home.

Someone knocked on the door. Lu Jingyuan opened it, only to be greeted by the sight of the elegantly dressed and dignified Feng Wan standing there.

Even though she had aged, her regality remained undiminished. She exuded a unique aura of her own while standing there.

Lu Jingyuan was taken aback. Why is the mistress of the Nan family here?

“May I come in, Ms. Lu?” Feng Wan asked placidly.

“Of course. Please come in,” Lu Jingyuan replied politely.

Even though there was some discord among them both, basic etiquette still needed to be maintained.

The housekeeper who came along inclined her head respectfully to Lu Jingyuan but did not enter the house. Instead, she waited downstairs.

Feng Wan sat down before taking the water Lu Jingyuan poured for her.

“Have you been living here all along?”

She glanced around at the surroundings. Although such a house could be considered a mansion for the average person, it was undeniably very ordinary for the Nan family.

“Yes,” Lu Jingyuan replied.

“Nanshi Corporation's real estate company also has villas. Why didn't you move there?” she asked.

Considering Nan Xing's financial capabilities, it would be a piece of cake for him to buy Lu Jingyuan a villa within the company.

In other words, she was questioning whether Nan Xing bought the latter a house.

“I bought this house myself.”
