Chapter 193: Why Do You Still Want to Marry Me
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu An heard someone calling him and turned around, only to find that he was holding a woman that Jin Nian didn’t recognize!
The person in the dream was a younger version of Lu An. He looked like he had just finished playing basketball and was standing under the setting sun. The orange-red light cast a brilliant glow on him, and he was wearing a fresh set of sportswear with a stand-up collar, which made the already slender Lu An appear even more handsome.
Jin Nian asked, “Who is the person you’re holding?”
In the dream, Lu An sneered, “Of course, it’s the person I like.”
A surge of anger and injustice overwhelmed Jin Nian in her dream. She couldn’t help but step forward and question Lu An, “You already have someone you like, so why are you marrying me?”
In the dream, Lu An’s eyes were filled with disdain as he looked at Jin Nian as if she were an insignificant pa.s.serby. He pushed her hard and said coldly, “If it weren’t for us growing up together, 1 would have never married you.”
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Jin Nian cried in her dream. “Get lost!”
In the dream, Lu An smiled and said, “Fine, as long as you don’t regret it.”
After saying that, Lu An in the dream pa.s.sionately kissed the girl in his arms.
This dream felt incredibly real and seemed to reflect Jin Nian’s underlying fears. She woke up almost in tears.
The sky had just begun to brighten, and the room’s wall lamp cast a warm yellow glow.
Jin Nian’s heart was still pounding rapidly, and for a moment, she couldn’t even tell what day it was. But when she saw that the person holding her was Lu An, she suddenly became furious.
She slapped Lu An’s chest.
Lu An had just fallen asleep and was now awakened by the slap. He looked at
Jin Nian in a daze and asked, “What happened?”
Jin Nian recalled the dream where Lu An was pa.s.sionately kissing a strange woman. Feeling wronged, she cried out, “You big b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
The recently awakened Lu An was at a loss.
He thought about it during the day and dreamt about it at night. Jin Nian still lacked a sense of security in this relationship. She knew she liked Lu An, and Lu An seemed to have complete control over her. But what was Lu An’s att.i.tude towards this relationship? She didn’t know.
It was one thing to dream about Lu An’s “infidelity” for one night, but Jin Nian had been having these dreams for several days now!
The fake dreams felt like they were becoming real, and Jin Nian found herself growing increasingly displeased with Lu An.
Lu An felt unfairly accused and was at a loss for words.
After the New Year’s Day break, work had to continue.
Jin Nian decided not to go to the 18th floor for a while because Lu An’s secretary had discovered their relationship. Instead, she went to the company cafeteria for lunch with her colleagues.
With the New Year came new beginnings, and Jin Nian wasn’t overly concerned about achieving great success in her career. What mattered more to her was the sense of vitality her work brought.
While she couldn’t claim to be pa.s.sionate about her job, Jin Nian had been working in the organization since graduating from university. She had built close relationships with many colleagues over the years.
Not long after the 12/12 event had ended, the New Year’s event had arrived.
Jin Nian had gradually adapted to the fast-paced world of live broadcasting. She was considered a veteran in her team, constantly mult.i.tasking, monitoring the live broadcast, coordinating with external clients, negotiating prices and operating models with brands, and even taking care of details like the lighting equipment in the live broadcast room.
As the deputy team leader, Jin Nian couldn’t help but worry a little.
Her gentle demeanor made some interns comfortable enough to confide in her when they encountered difficulties.
Jin Nian was a kind-hearted person, and despite not being the oldest in the team, everyone called her “sister”.
He Ming enjoyed working with Jin Nian. He found it less stressful and more efficient. It wasn’t because He Ming was lazy and wanted to slack off with Jin Nian. It was mainly because they had great synergy. Even when they didn’t fully understand something, Jin Nian could grasp it immediately. Jin Nian might not have been exceptionally intelligent, but she was persistent and didn’t give up easily in the face of challenges.
For example, when they were negotiating prices with a brand operator who belittled their fanbase and tried to pressure them into lowering their rates with snide remarks, Jin Nian didn’t get angry. Instead, she calmly sat down and discussed future cooperation with the operator multiple times. She used the promise of long-term benefits and her unwavering determination to ultimately secure the brand’s agreement..
