Chapter 287: My Girlfriend Is Married, But I Am Not the Groom
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Nan Mu had a dinner party in the evening. He would pass by Tianzhou Media on his way home from the restaurant, so he ordered supper for the company’s employees who were working overtime.
When he arrived at Tianzhou Media, supper had just been delivered.
The employees were overjoyed.
“Thank you, President Nan!”
Someone asked him, “President Nan, you didn’t order supper for Best Actor Huo?”
“Xunzhou is still in the company?” Nan Mu asked in surprise.
“You don’t know?”
He really did not know about it.
“I’ll go take a look. You guys eat first.”
Nan Mu walked to the door of Huo Xunzhou’s office. Then, he pushed the door open quietly like a thief, trying to peek through the crack in the door, but he was caught off guard and met Huo Xunzhou’s emotionless gaze.
Nan Mu, who had been discovered, smiled awl«vardly and walked in while rubbing his hands.
“Why are you still in the company at this late hour?”
Huo Xunzhou replied, “Work.”
Nan Mu raised his hand and looked at his watch. “It’s eleven o’clock.”
“I love my job,” Huo Xunzhou said expressionlessly.
Nan Mu was speechless.
Nan Mu had drunk some wine at the dinner party, so his reaction was slower than usual.
He then remembered that Lin Shanchu would marry Lu Shiyuan tomorrow.
No wonder.
Nan Mu was smart enough not to mention Lin Shanchu’s marriage. Instead, he suggested considerately, “Shall I have a drink with you?” Huo Xunzhou thought for a moment and nodded.
It was getting late, so Nan Mu found a secluded bar nearby.
After the wine was served, Huo Xunzhou drank half a glass in silence.
“Don’t drink alone, cheers!”
Nan Mu raised his glass and clinked it with Huo Xunzhou’s. Then, he raised his head and took a sip.
Nan Mu put down his glass and was about to say something to comfort Huo Xunzhou, but then he heard the drunkard at the table beside him sing heartbreakingly.
“My girlfriend is married.
“But I am not the groom.
“No matter how many tears I shed.
“No one cares about me.”
Nan Mu was speechless. F*ck! This song was too suitable for the occasion!
He turned around and saw that Huo Xunzhou had finished the remaining half of the glass.
Huo Xunzhou pushed the empty glass to the bartender and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
The bartender respectfully filled his glass.
“Xunzhou…” Nan Mu wanted to persuade Huo Xunzhou, but he was interrupted by the vibration of Huo Xunzhou’s phone.
Huo Xunzhou took a look at it and saw that it was a WeChat message from Huo Chaosheng.
Huo Chaosheng: [Third Brother, why aren’t you home yet?]
Huo Xunzhou typed slowly: [You went home?]
Huo Chaosheng: [Yeah, I just came back from Lin Shanchu’s house.]
Huo Xunzhou: [Oh.]
Just as he was about to put his phone away, he saw a red dot on the “Discover” icon at the bottom.
He tapped on the red dot, and Lin Shanchu’s WeChat profile picture with a red dot appeared in his Moments.
Lin Shanchu posted a post on her Moments.
Huo Xunzhou clicked on it.
It was a photo of a wedding dress without any caption.
Huo Xunzhou was stunned and curled his lip subconsciously.
He clicked on the photo and looked intently at it for a while. Then, he tapped on the photo to save it.
He returned to the Moments interface and liked Lin Shanchu’s post.
“What are you so happy about?” Nan Mu saw Huo Xunzhou staring at his phone and smiling happily, so he leaned over out of curiosity.
Huo Xunzhou quickly pressed the lock button on his phone so that Nan Mu could not see the photo clearly.
However, he vaguely saw Lin Shanchu’s profile picture.
Nan Mu took out his phone and clicked open his Moments.
He clicked on Lin Shanchu’s profile picture and refreshed Lin Shanchu’s Moments several times, but he did not see any interesting posts from her.
“Shanshan didn’t post it on WeChat Moments…” Nan Mu muttered in puzzlement.
He was sure that he had just seen Lin Shanchu’s profile picture.
“What?” Huo Xunzhou did not hear what he said. He only heard the word “Shanshan”
“Were you looking at Shanshan’s Moments just now?” Nan Mu handed the phone to Huo Xunzhou and said, “She didn’t post anything new!”
Huo Xunzhou took Nan Mu’s phone and refreshed it.
He realized that there was no photo of the wedding dress on her Moments.
Huo Xunzhou thought for two seconds and then laughed to himself.
Nan Mu asked, “What are you laughing at?”
Huo Xunzhou laughed kindly and stuffed the phone back into Nan Mu’s hands. His voice was unprecedentedly gentle as he said, “It’s getting late. It’s time to go back and rest.”
“You’re not drinking anymore?” Nan Mu pointed at the glass of wine that had just been refilled in front of Huo Xunzhou.
“Drinking is bad for your health,” Huo Xunzhou replied.
Puzzled, Nan Mu thought that Huo Xunzhou was drowning his sorrows in wine just now.
Nan Mu looked dumbfounded as he pushed Huo Xunzhou out of the bar.
Li MO drove over to pick Huo Xunzhou up.
Nan Mu watched Huo Xunzhou leave before he snapped back to his senses.
Xunzhou must have seen something just now to be so happy all of a sudden.
It must be related to Lin Shanchu.
Nan Mu called Qi Cheng.
“Have you seen Shanshan’s new post?”
“Huh?”
Qi Cheng was a little confused, but still he clicked open Lin Shanchu’s Moments immediately. “A new post on her Moments? Shanshan hasn’t posted anything on her Moments today.” “Alright, I got it.”
Nan Mu hung up the phone.
As expected, Qi Cheng could not see the post on Lin Shanchu’s Moments either.
Qi Cheng was used to being cautious.
He was very uneasy by Nan Mu’s inexplicable phone call.
Hence, he called He Xiang.
“Did Shanshan post anything on her Moments today?”
“She didn’t.”
“Are you sure?”
He Xiang thought about it carefully and said, “Teacher Alec gave Sister Lin a wedding dress. She tried on it and I took a photo of her. I thought she would post it on her Moments, but she didn’t.”
“Understood.”
Qi Cheng felt like he had understood something.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Cheng sent the conversation between him and He Xiang to Nan Mu.
Qi Cheng: [[screenshot]]
After a long time, Nan Mu replied: [I see.]
Qi Cheng: [?]
Nan Mu: [ [Wise smile.jpg]]
Qi Cheng:
President Nan did not look very smart.
Qi Cheng finally understood that Tianzhou Media was prosperous because the boss behind the scenes was Huo Xunzhou.
The next morning, Lin Shanchu woke up and took a painkiller.
It was very easy to get addicted to morphine sustained-release tablets.
Even though she had been very restrained, there were faint signs of addiction.
However, nothing could go wrong today.
She picked up her phone and saw an unread message on her Moments.
Huo Xunzhou liked the post she posted on her Moments last night.
He saw it.
He was the first person to see her wearing this wedding dress. “Sister Lin! Are you awake?”
Lin Shanchu hid the joy in her heart and said loudly, “I’m awake.”
“Then pack up and come out quickly. We’re going to change our clothes and put on makeup to go to the hotel.”
“Alright.”
Lu Shiyuan had informed her yesterday to go to the hotel to try the styling and makeup for today’s wedding preparation.
However, Lin Shanchu would never listen to him.
She casually put on some makeup at home, changed into a wedding dress and went straight to the wedding venue at the hotel.
There was a knock on the door right after Lin Shanchu finished putting on her makeup and changing into the wedding dress.
“They are here quite early.” He Xiang thought the comer was Lu Shiyuan, so she opened the door unwillingly..
