Lin Wan remained motionless, as if she wasn't the other protagonist mentioned by the person on stage. She just sat there without any intention of moving.
In fact, she couldn't think at all. All her hearing had malfunctioned the moment she heard that last sentence.
The scene was in an uproar. Many people were shocked by Lu Zhihang's decision to quit the entertainment industry, while others were surprised that he would propose at such a moment. Although his way of speaking was quite euphemistic, everyone could tell what he meant.
"You don't have to answer me now. I have time and can wait for you slowly." Lu Zhihang's gaze was fixed on a certain point, suddenly showing boundless tenderness, as if he wanted to melt the person he was looking at into a pool of spring water.
Lin Wan didn't know what was wrong with herself. When she heard this sentence, tears welled up in her eyes. The tears ran down her cheeks and dripped onto the back of her hand, feeling a bit cool, but more of a sense of happiness.
She never knew that Lu Zhihang came to Taiwan with such an idea. Even on the plane, he didn't say a single word, as if everything had passed. Lin Wan never expected to hear these words that night.
In the end, Lu Zhihang didn't force Lin Wan to give an answer, and the award ceremony soon came to an end.
When they walked out of the venue, Lin Wan was still a bit dazed. She looked up blankly at the dark night sky, surrounded by people walking out in groups.
Ding-dong.
The WeChat notification sounded on her phone. Lin Wan took out her phone and saw a message from Lu Zhihang.
Lu Zhihang - Where are you?
Lin Wan - Outside the venue.
Lu Zhihang - Come to the back. Let's go back to the hotel.
Lin Wan - ... Okay.
They both tacitly didn't mention the speech at the award ceremony. After looking for the direction for a while, Lin Wan found the back door of the venue. There weren't many people there. Only two or three small cars were parked quietly. It was not clear whether they were paparazzi cars or private cars of the celebrities.
Lin Wan quickly noticed Lu Zhihang's car parked in the most inconspicuous corner.
When Lu Zhihang saw her, he rolled down the window and waved to her. Seeing this, Lin Wan immediately trotted over and got into the passenger seat.
There was no one else in the car. Lu Zhihang held the steering wheel. After seeing her fasten the seat belt, he drove her back to the hotel. On the way, Lu Zhihang asked Lin Wan while driving, "Do you like Taiwan?"
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment. She was a bit confused by this out-of-the-blue question. It took her a while to react and nodded, saying, "I like it quite a lot."
"We can play here for three days." Lu Zhihang smiled. It seemed that he was very happy that night.
Lin Wan was shocked and looked at Lu Zhihang. "Three days?"
"Yes. I'll go to the company to handle the contract termination formalities three days later. You don't have to worry about the rest." Lu Zhihang nodded.
Lin Wan didn't say a word and just remained silent for a while. Lu Zhihang noticed this and looked at her expression. Finally, he said helplessly, "Wanwan, have you still not believed my determination after I've said it so many times? I really like you, very, very much. But even so, I'm not quitting the showbiz because of you. It's my own decision."
Lin Wan felt a bit headache and pinched the space between her eyebrows. She nodded helplessly and said, "I know. I really understand. I just think..." In the end, Lin Wan didn't know how to organize her words. She hesitated.
"Regretful."
"Yes." Lin Wan nodded and then looked at Lu Zhihang. "I think it's a pity. You're so good and could be even better, but I won't be able to see you on stage anymore..."
Lu Zhihang fell silent. He understood what Lin Wan meant. Before he met Lin Wan, he also thought it would be very regretful if he quit the circle so early. But now he didn't feel that way anymore.
"Just like I said at the award ceremony, Wanwan, I have no regrets in my acting career. I've won honors that others may never get in their whole lives. I think it's enough. I'm satisfied." Lu Zhihang thought for a while and said, "Next, I just want to accompany you, not let you be scared anymore, and not let us hesitate and worry about whether the fans will riot even when we go out on a date. I don't want to give you such a future."
Lu Zhihang's voice was very soft but extremely gentle. Lin Wan was touched. The tears that had stopped earlier welled up again.
The car stopped in the hotel parking lot. Lu Zhihang reached out and hugged Lin Wan into his arms. "Don't cry. I'll feel heartache when you cry."
Lin Wan buried her face in Lu Zhihang's chest. Tears fell silently. She grabbed Lu Zhihang's clothes and said word by word:
"Okay. You'll accompany me like this from now on. If you dare to run away..."
"I won't run away. My heart is with you and I'll never be able to run away in my whole life." Before Lin Wan could finish her words, Lu Zhihang had already lifted her face and kissed her gently. The kiss was very tender...
[Mr. Lu proposed sweetly at the award ceremony. The lovers spent a wonderful night together!]
When Lin Wan saw such a hot search news early in the morning, she refused it emotionally. But looking at Lu Zhihang sleeping, she felt a bit happy in her heart.
She was very glad that she was in a relationship with Lu Zhihang. This man was different from any other man she had ever met. He was more gentle, more sensitive, and more understanding of her. When they were together, Lin Wan had no worries at all. She could always feel this man's constant care for her.
So if those marketing accounts and the media knew that there was actually nothing between the two of them, that the so-called wonderful night together was all false, and that there was nothing more than a kiss between them, they would definitely be shocked.
"What are you smiling at?" Lu Zhihang didn't know when he had opened his eyes. When he saw the faint smile on Lin Wan's lips, his mood brightened up immediately. He asked with a smile, with a bit of cunning in his eyes. His hand rubbed Lin Wan's waist intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Wan let out a surprised cry. Blushing, she took his hand away from her waist. Before she could say a word, her lips were captured. The warm and slippery tongue had already slipped into her mouth.
In an instant, Lin Wan felt weak and could only let Lu Zhihang take what he wanted.
Finally, with his amazing willpower, Lu Zhihang left Lin Wan's lips and rushed into the bathroom without saying a word to calm down.
Lin Wan lay in bed for a while before she came to her senses. Thinking of Lu Zhihang's embarrassed escape, she couldn't help laughing. The laughter spread unhindered into the bathroom separated by a wall.
Sitting on the toilet seat, Lu Zhihang's face darkened completely. He gritted his teeth and imagined in his mind that he had pinned down the little girl he had been thinking about but had never dared to touch on the bed hundreds of times. However, the result of this was - Lu Zhihang looked down at his crotch.
