Chapter 1963: Love Where One Would Pursue It With No Hesitation
Xiao Yuqian was holding her phone while she walked out of the hospital.
She wanted to make sure Ma Haodong was okay so she decided to call him.
The phone rang but no one picked up even after a few rings.
It was only when she was about to hang up that a lazy voice came from the other end. “Hello… who’s this…”
The moment she heard his voice she knew for certain he was still in bed. It felt as though he’d only just opened his eyes just now. His voice sounded a bit confused.
“Ma Haodong! Where are you?”
Ma Haodong was shocked that he would actually receive a call from Xiao Yuqian and he became much more alert. He sat up in bed to take the call. “I am at home. What is it? Did you miss me so soon?”
“Piss off!”
Xiao Yuqian scolded him and then hung up the phone straight away.
He still spoke with that repulsive voice and still with that frivolous tone!
He was fine at home. The person who was in an accident wasn’t him.
Once Xiao Yuqian was sure he was fine, she didn’t know how to describe the complicated feelings she had. She was both happy and glad.
She had been in a constant state of worry and self-blame so when she relaxed, she felt like both her legs went soft. She had no choice but to sit and rest next to the flower bed outside the hospital.
Not even after one minute passed, her phone started to ring again. She looked down at the screen and realized it was Ma Haodong who was calling. Xiao Yuqian didn’t pick up the phone and instead just hung up the call straight away.
However, he was very persistent and called again. Xiao Yuqian hung up once again.
Xiao Yuqian looked at the time and it was already past the start of her working hours. She might as well just call her company to take the day off today.
After she applied for a leave of absence, she contacted Nie Zhenglan. The two of them arranged for a time so that they could have a talk.
Right after the call ended, Ma Haodong called her again. Xiao Yuqian hung up his call without even having to think about it.
The two of them just kept on doing this. One would call and the other would hang up. In the end, Xiao Yuqian became so annoyed that she simply switched off her phone.
After she sorted out her feelings, she left the hospital and called a cab to go straight to the cafe, M.A.N. Port, where they agreed to meet.
Xiao Yuqian arrived first so she ordered a cup of coffee. She sat down and drank it slowly. Not long after, a woman wearing a mask and sunglasses finally arrived late.
“Sorry for making you wait, Qianqian.”
Nie Zhenglan took off her sunglasses and mask, showing a face with heavy makeup on.
From what Xiao Yuqian knew of Nie Zhenglan, she never put on heavy makeup. The reason why she suddenly put on such heavy makeup was mostly so that she could hide her bad complexion and her eyes that had turned red from crying.
But she was still dressed up as elegant and stylish as ever. Her grandeur temperament emitted from her bones. However, if she wasn’t her good friend, she might not have believed such a woman of high social status would actually agree to stand behind a poor man.
Throughout the many years Su Jimo spent struggling in the entertainment industry, Nie Zhenglan had always been supporting him from behind the scenes. When he was at his most tired and dejected, when he couldn’t even afford to eat, it was also Nie Zhenglan who supported him.
The kind of love where one would pursue it with hesitation, to the point where the notion of self disappeared. This was the kind of love Nie Zhenglan had.
In the beginning, Xiao Yuqian didn’t think their relationship would last at all and also advised them to give it up. However, Nie Zhenglan was determined to be with Su Jimo. Later when Su Jimo officially debuted, the two of them secretly got married.
It was only from then on that Xiao Yuqian signed Su Jimo on. She wanted to use her abilities to make him famous. It could be considered as helping out her best friend.
In the end, she succeeded in making Su Jimo famous, helping him to become a major film star. However, it also caused Su Jimo and Nie Zhenglan’s relationship to break down.
Sigh. Xiao Yuqian really didn’t know if what she did was good or bad.
