Chapter 652, One Bad News, Two Good News
After the climax.
Chen Nan and Su Yue held each other tightly, as if everything in the world had ceased to exist, leaving only their warm bodies and intertwined heartbeats.
Su Yue's cheek lightly rested on Chen Nan's sweat-dampened chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling the steady rhythm as if it were the most beautiful melody in the world.
Chen Nan hugged Su Yue tightly with both arms, his chin resting lightly on her head, wanting to use his embrace to build an unbreakable barrier for her.
The moonlight, like water, streamed in gently through the half-closed window like a layer of thin gauze.
The moonlight fell on their intertwined bodies, giving this private space a silver-white glow, making the previously intense atmosphere even warmer and more peaceful.
The cool moonlight and the lingering warmth in the room intertwined, creating a unique and enchanting atmosphere.
Outside the window, the sound of unknown insects chirping rose and fell, like a soft symphony played by nature.
These insect sounds were especially clear in the silent night, adding a touch of vitality and vigor to the warm scene.
With deep affection, Chen Nan gently kissed Su Yue's forehead.
He was very grateful that Su Yue had come; otherwise, he wouldn't know when he would recover his strength!
Just at this tender and warm moment.
The phone by Chen Nan's bedside suddenly rang.
The sharp ringtone instantly shattered the room's tranquility and made the two, immersed in the sweet aftertaste, startle slightly.
Chen Nan looked towards the sound, and when he picked up the phone and saw the name "Xu Lu" flashing on the screen, his previously gentle and contented expression slightly changed.
A trace of barely noticeable panic flashed in his eyes.
He hadn't expected Xu Lu to call at this moment.
Previously, he had called Xu Lu, and she had clearly told him she wasn't in the Provincial City, so how come now...
"Could it be one of your other lovers?" Su Yue half-jokingly said, but the slight furrow of her brows and the hint of bitterness in her tone revealed the jealousy stirring in her heart.
She knew very well that with Chen Nan's excellence, it was only natural for attractive women to surround him.
But the possibility of this actually appearing before her made her heart feel like a bottle of mixed emotions had been overturned.
Chen Nan noticed Su Yue's mood, an awkward smile appeared on his face, and he averted his gaze. He said, "Well, you should rest for a while, I'll take this call."
Then, he hurriedly got out of bed, hastily put on his clothes, his actions showing a bit of urgency, as if he wanted to quickly escape this slightly awkward situation.
He then took the phone and quickly left the room, gently closing the door behind him.
At the same time, Chen Nan pressed the answer button.
Before he could speak, Xu Lu's crisp and pleasant voice, tinged with some urgency, sounded from the other end: "Open the door, I'm at the door of the clinic."
Chen Nan's face instantly showed surprise upon hearing this.
Although he had mentioned to Xu Lu that he had opened a clinic, he had never disclosed its exact location. How did she find it?
Despite his confusion, Chen Nan still went to the clinic entrance and opened the door.
As the heavy door slowly opened, a tall and striking figure instantly came into view.
Xu Lu was wearing a fitted black suit, which seemed tailor-made for her, its sleek lines accentuating her nearly perfect figure.
Highlighting her impressive chest and slim waist, forming an eye-catching S-shaped curve.
The simple yet tasteful white shirt underneath had a slightly open collar, revealing a small patch of jade-like fair skin, with a glimpse of an exquisite collarbone, exuding an indescribable sensuality under the hazy night light.
She wore black high heels with seven or eight-centimeter heels, each step steady and rhythmic.
As she walked, the long, straight lines of her legs were slightly visible, and her hips moved softly with each step.
Her every move exuded the unique charm of a mature career woman, particularly striking in the quiet night, seemingly glowing.
"How did you find this place?" Chen Nan's eyes were full of curiosity.
Xu Lu's lips slightly curved into a mysterious smile, like a rose in the dark night, seductive and captivating.
"You mentioned before that your clinic is called Health Care Hall, so I just used my phone's navigation to find it easily." She said while lightly brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, a glint of cunning in her eyes as if proud of her cleverness.
Chen Nan couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, silently chiding himself for overlooking this detail.
He made a gesture inviting Xu Lu to enter the clinic, then gently closed the door, isolating them from the outside noise.
They walked to the front courtyard together, moonlight like water, falling on the ancient stone table.
Xu Lu walked gracefully, lightly sitting on a stone stool, her posture upright, like the brightest star in the night sky.
"I brought two pieces of good news and one bad news, which do you want to hear first?" She smiled lightly, her eyes earnestly fixed on Chen Nan, looking as if she were sharing an interesting secret with him.
Chen Nan's eyes lit up at her words, and the tension caused by her sudden visit eased a bit.
He didn't expect Xu Lu to bring such a "surprise."
Chen Nan picked up the teapot beside him and poured Xu Lu a cup of tea, his actions gentle and natural. He then smiled and said, "Let's hear the bad news first."
Xu Lu lifted the teacup, took a light sip, the fragrance spreading in her mouth, but she slightly frowned, her expression full of helplessness.
"Our National Tea's development has now hit a bottleneck, the market expansion has stalled."
"To break this deadlock and expand market share, we have to find a celebrity to endorse it."
"However, the endorsement fees of top celebrities are staggering."
Xu Lu paused, a hint of worry in her eyes: "An annual endorsement fee starts at least eight figures, and for top-tier superstars, it's even nine figures!"
As the general manager of the National Tea brand, she was in charge of all the company's affairs, under her careful management, the company's performance steadily improved.
But for such significant decisions like finding an endorser, she knew she had to discuss it with Chen Nan, as it concerned the company's future direction.
Chen Nan was taken aback, his mouth twitching slightly: "Are endorsement fees really that outrageous?"
Xu Lu shrugged lightly: "Otherwise, why would so many people want to become celebrities?"
Chen Nan let out a breath of air, then said: "Tell me the other two good news."
Xu Lu's face showed a subtle, intriguing smile: "I met Xiaoyu yesterday!"
Upon hearing this.
Chen Nan instantly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, a chill running down his spine, he looked intensely at Xu Lu: "You met Nie Xiaoyu? Where did you meet her?"
