Three in the afternoon.
After arranging the reporters present, Song Ming hurried back to the backstage. Just as he reached the door of the lounge, it was opened by someone inside.
"Are you two ready?"
Nan Wan had changed into high heels, her mid-length hair was loosely pinned at the back of her head. The stray locks framed her face, making it look more delicate. Her makeup was very light, contrasting with the red gown she wore, combining freshness and sensuality, exuding a unique charm.
"Of course."
Linking arms with Lu Li, the two walked in step, passing by Song Ming.
Lu Li, wearing sunglasses, hid his emotions perfectly, "Nan Wan, don't speak recklessly in a moment."
In fact, he knew very well what Nan Wan would do, but after all, she was a girl. In a city like Qing City, with such a rich cultural background, she couldn't ruin her reputation too badly.
Nan Wan curved her lips, smiling faintly, and asked back, "What could I possibly say?"
With so much media present, just thinking about it felt explosive.
It would be best if everyone in the Nan Family could see the news at the first moment; otherwise, the effect would be diminished, and wouldn't it waste the acting skills she's been honing for so long?
Seeing Nan Wan like this, Lu Li knew she wouldn't be obedient. After all, they've been friends for ten years, not just casual acquaintances, "Are you planning to drop a grenade or charge with a bayonet?"
Going down the steps, Nan Wan was particularly careful. After all, she was wearing ten-centimeter high heels, and it would be quite embarrassing if she fell.
"The Nan Family members are much stronger than imagined," Nan Wan lifted her skirt, walking gracefully with no unusual expression on her face, very calm, "My little storm is at most just a bit of seasoning for them."
The closer they got to the hall, the clearer the buzz of conversation became.
Lu Li stopped at the corner and turned to look at her, "Then don't crash into it."
"Why not?" Nan Wan looked up, not looking at him, but staring straight ahead, her tone ethereal and elusive, "Even if I can't defeat them, I can at least annoy them a bit. Can't let them have it too easy."
Even if it means sacrificing herself.
Lu Li was not her, so naturally, he couldn't understand how dark the hell she was in was. But as a friend, he couldn't watch her step further into extremity.
"Nan Wan, you're still young, you have a long life ahead."
Nan Wan nodded, withdrawing her hand from his arm, turning to smile, "So, if nothing unexpected happens, they'll all die before me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Wan brushed past him, walking towards the hall.
Lu Li watched that silhouette, standing there in a daze.
The clicking sounds of reporters' cameras filled the air, and Song Ming, seeing Lu Li not moving, hurriedly came up and whispered, "What are you thinking about? Those people have sharp tongues. Nan Wan can't handle them alone."
Lu Li returned to his senses and started walking.
