Nan Chen didn’t say a word because he was thinking about Qin Lan’s words. Loving the scent because it was exuded by the person I love?
How is that even possible? He had only smelled that scent from that woman, and she disgusts him! How is it possible that he fell for her? That was utterly ridiculous!
“Bullsh**!” comment Nan Chen whose words stabbed Qin Lan’s pride.
For the first time in his life, Nan Chen found Qin Lan to be unprofessional and a complete fraud.
Qin Lan was so angry that she almost lost control.
She was the best psychologist in Flower City and had been working with the police for years.
Moreover, many high-profile leaders sought after her counsel, and not one of them dared to say that her words were bullsh**.
“No, I’m right,” refuted Qin Lan, “You’re just saying that I’m bullsh** because you don’t want to accept that reality.”
Nan Chen didn’t respond to that because he always thought of himself as better than that.
He stood up and started to leave.
“Trust me, Nan Chen, if you’re troubled by a woman’s scent, then you must have fallen for her!” “I remember you talking about her. If you love her, then go for it! Why torture yourself like that?”
“Does your heart beat faster every time you see her? Do you want to get close to her but couldn’t let your pride down?” “Why are you so stubborn when it comes to social statuses?” “Why not just act normal and try to get close to her like a normal person?”
Refusing to listen to another word Qin Lan had to say, Nan Chen picked up his black jacket from the chair and left.
He found Qin Lan’s words to be utterly ridiculous because he hated that woman.
After leaving the counseling center, Nan Chen drove his car to the district area and sat there numbly.
That night, after his dinner with Dabao and Erbao, he gave the two kids a hug and smelled the tangerine scent from Erbao.
That moment, he confirmed that the scent was the one he hadn’t been able to forget.
On the way home, Erbao mentioned that her mommy was shooting a TV show called the Sound of Thunder 2.
Nan Chen’s mind made the connection quickly! The annoying second female lead actress had the same scent!
He started to realize something, but he needed time to prove it.
He liked the kids, but not that woman because he thought that she was too calculating and seemed to have something big planned.
He wanted to see just what she planned to do.
That day, after confirming that the kids’ father was Nan Xing, he felt sad because it was like he had lost the scent that had been with him all those years.
A scent was a strange thing to lose because they were supposed to dissipate with time, but, to Nan Chen, that scent was something more. It was like a curse that had haunted his memory, and he was about to lose it… Or rather, he was about to lose the right to chase after that scent.
That got him depressed, extremely depressed. He thought that those feelings were ridiculous, and after listening to Qin Lan’s analysis, he found them to be even more ridiculous.
……
Nan Chen made a sudden appearance at the set that afternoon.
He didn’t bring his assistant along, and he didn’t call beforehand either so no one knew how long he had been observing the shooting from behind the camera.
After they finished shooting a scene, everyone took a water break, and that was when someone noticed Nan Chen.
Wang Yan was so surprised that his legs stopped working. What happened? Why did Mr. Chen stop by all of a sudden?
Nan Chen gestured everyone to work as usual, but how was that possible when their boss was sitting right there?
The third female lead actress – Zhao Mingjie – was so nervous that she forgot her lines.
