After We Broke Up, She Started Pursuing Me [Entertainment Industry] 80

Chapter 80 – Extra 6 : Jiang Nan

And so, this dark and painful relationship with Lu Xing had lasted for half a year.

In this half-year, Ye Qingnan felt as if every day were a year. Every time she cast aside her dignity and begged Lu Xing to end this relationship, that person would only place those disgusting photos in front of her, again and again.

Ye Qingnan had thought about calling the police, but that would mean Lu Xing would very likely take her down with him, publishing all those photos.

Once that happened, she would fall into hell. Her career might be destroyed, Jiang Nuo might also leave, and her younger sister would be even more disgusted.

Who would like such a dirty person?

That’s right. She could never go back.

Ye Qingnan smiled bitterly.

She knew that Lu Xing was already married, with a wife and son, so this relationship would definitely have an end. For that day to come, she was willing to wait.

Ye Qingnan found that she was also extremely ugly. Knowing that she was dirty, she still had the thick skin to want to be with Jiang Nuo forever.

So love is also so selfish.

But, before she could see any hope, a sudden event, like a meteor falling from the sky, destroyed her entire world.

She was pregnant.

Originally, when her body had shown signs, she hadn’t thought much of it. By the time she found out, she was already a month pregnant.

Ye Qingnan locked herself in her room, her back against the wall. She stared blankly at the hospital’s lab report, her heart feeling empty, as if a large piece had been forcibly dug out, now a bloody, rotten mess.

She took a sharp breath, a sourness welling up in her nose. Instantly, tears filled her eyes, blurring her vision.

Her trembling hand caressed the spot on her lower abdomen. It was still very flat now. She couldn’t imagine that there was already a small life inside.

Ye Qingnan leaned on the windowsill to compose herself for a long while. After she had cried enough, she took out her phone and called Lu Xing.

Lu Xing had been busy with work recently and hadn’t looked for her much. Seeing her take the initiative to call, he was a little surprised and also happy.

“Hello? What’s wrong?”

The man’s voice still held a hint of a smile, but in the next second, it made him freeze—

“I’m pregnant.”

“What did you say?” Lu Xing was instantly flustered.

Ye Qingnan repeated it coldly.

“Self-tests are sometimes wrong. Have you already been to the hospital to check?”

“Mhm, over a month.”

Lu Xing felt a chill run down his spine. His mind exploded. He still had a family. A large part of his career depended on his wife’s family’s funding. He absolutely couldn’t let this be affected.

“Then… Qingnan, you should go and get an abortion. It’s only a month. The damage to your body won’t be great. I’ll give you another card in a few days. You can buy some supplements.”

Ye Qingnan stared ahead, her eyes devoid of any emotion, her whole person as empty as a shell.

“I’m not getting it.”

Lu Xing became anxious, very confused. “Why? How much money do you want? I’ll give it all to you. Just get the abortion, okay?”

“Don’t be so stubborn. Think about it. you’re still so young, you have a long acting career ahead of you, you still have many opportunities. Why would you want to ruin your own path?”

Ye Qingnan sneered. “Is it me? Did I want it to be like this? Do you have any conscience at all?”

“A month, that’s still a life. I can’t do it.”

Lu Xing also became angry and said in a deep voice, “Then what do you want?”

“Don’t contact me again in the future.”

“I don’t want a single cent from you. I don’t want anything from you. I just want you to end this relationship and not have any contact in the future. We’ll be strangers from now on.”

The other end of the phone was silent for a long moment before Lu Xing finally agreed, his voice full of exhaustion.

“Okay, I promise you. But you… you know, I have a family. This child…”

Sure enough, this person’s first concern is always himself, as if all the responsibility belongs to others.

Ye Qingnan cursed inwardly and said faintly, “Lu Xing, don’t worry. I don’t want to have anything to do with you.”

.

Jiang Nuo came home from work, carrying a large bag of groceries.

She had gotten off work early today, so she had gone to the wet market for a stroll. Seeing that Ye Qingnan’s appetite had been poor these few days, she planned to make some appetizers.

As Jiang Nuo changed her shoes at the entrance, she said with a smile, “How about I make you two cold dishes today? They’re more appetizing. You can eat a little more.”

“Mhm?”

Hearing no response, Jiang Nuo turned to look, only to see Ye Qingnan sitting on the sofa with a blank expression, her whole person exuding a sense of emptiness from head to toe.

This strange feeling made Jiang Nuo a little uneasy. She walked over and sat down beside Ye Qingnan, but the other person still didn’t look at her.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“Why are you ignoring me?”

Ye Qingnan finally turned her head, but her appearance made Jiang Nuo feel a sense of strangeness.

The two of them looked at each other for a while before Ye Qingnan slowly parted her lips. “Let’s break up.”

Jiang Nuo didn’t understand how she could say this with such a calm expression.

She was stunned for two seconds, thinking she had misheard. The smile was even still on her lips.

“What did you say?” She was still a little unsure.

But Ye Qingnan was still unmoved, her gaze toward her devoid of any emotion.

At this moment, Jiang Nuo finally let her smile fade, her face ashen. She lowered her eyes and thought for two seconds, her gaze darting around, so nervous that she even licked her dry lips.

“Why?” she asked softly.

Ye Qingnan saw the panic and confusion in Jiang Nuo’s eyes. She frowned with some reluctance, her fingertips clutching the sofa so tightly they were about to sink in.

“Because I’m pregnant. I’m sorry.”

At her words, Jiang Nuo’s whole person became dazed.

What is she saying?

The sounds around her seemed to disappear. Jiang Nuo could only hear her own heart pounding in her chest.

Thump, thump, like thunder.

Her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, her breathing becoming rapid. She looked at the person before her in utter disbelief.

But the person before her did not stop hurting her, but continued to pick up the sharp blade—

“It’s been over a month. I’m sorry. I can’t lie to you anymore.”

Ye Qingnan tried to act cold enough, but her eyes still turned red. She stared at Jiang Nuo and said the cruelest words in the most nonchalant tone.

After a long time, Jiang Nuo finally said in a trembling voice.

“You… you don’t have to say that just to break up with me…”

“No.” Ye Qingnan interrupted her.

She took out the wrinkled lab report from her pocket and placed it in front of Jiang Nuo.

“Let’s break up. I’m too dirty.”

Ye Qingnan could finally say the words in her heart. Her heart felt a lot lighter, but why? Why did it hurt so much?

Jiang Nuo let her tears streak her face. She picked up the lab report and looked at it over and over again, then asked her, “Whose is it?”

“Is it that director’s?”

She had heard the rumors about Ye Qingnan and Lu Xing when she visited the set, but she had always believed Ye Qingnan.

What about her? How could she…

“Yes.”

Ye Qingnan’s one affirmative word made her thoughts seem so ridiculous at this moment.

In an instant, Jiang Nuo went crazy, tearing that lab report to shreds!

She tore it with extreme brutality, not even leaving a small piece behind. This action startled Ye Qingnan.

Ye Qingnan couldn’t help but cry, wanting to stop her, but was thrown off by Jiang Nuo.

“Fuck!”

Jiang Nuo stood up and roared, the shredded paper in her hand scattering, a flurry of white falling.

“Ye Qingnan, do you have a heart! Do you have a heart?!” Jiang Nuo leaned down, grabbed Ye Qingnan’s shoulders, and pinned her against the sofa.

“Why did you do this? Why?”

“Am I your toy! You want me when you want me, and you don’t when you don’t?”

“Don’t you find yourself disgusting? When you were sleeping with him, did you ever think of me! Did you!”

Ye Qingnan was crying so hard she couldn’t say a word. She was hurt by Jiang Nuo’s grip and could only plead for her to let go.

Jiang Nuo’s eyes were bloodshot. The usually calm her now wanted to smash everything around her.

Unfortunately, at this time, seeing Ye Qingnan’s tearful appearance, she still softened.

She stood up, wiped the tears from her face with one hand, but the more she wiped, the more they flowed. She couldn’t wipe them away.

“I’m sorry… I’m really sorry… I didn’t want it to be like this…”

Besides apologizing, Ye Qingnan didn’t know what else to say. All she could do was repeat these words over and over again, her heart shamefully hoping for a little bit of understanding from Jiang Nuo.

She had thought about telling her the truth, but that would be too selfish. What right did she have? She, Ye Qingnan, was no longer worthy. Jiang Nuo deserved someone better, not someone like her.

Jiang Nuo was annoyed. She didn’t want to hear anything Ye Qingnan had to say right now.

“Ye Qingnan, you have no heart.”

This one sentence stopped Ye Qingnan’s crying. She watched as Jiang Nuo walked away without looking back. As she passed the entrance, she saw the bag of groceries and paused for a moment.

Those were all vegetables Ye Qingnan loved to eat…

But now, Jiang Nuo mercilessly kicked it away, and the vegetables scattered all over the floor.

“Bang—”

Ye Qingnan was startled by the sound of the closing door. Then, she could no longer hold it in and collapsed on the sofa, hugging herself tightly and crying her heart out…

.

For more than two months, Lu Xing didn’t dare to contact Ye Qingnan again, afraid that he would provoke her into doing something crazy. He was afraid that this matter would be exposed and affect his family, and he was on edge every day.

After that day, Jiang Nuo, devastated by the breakup, was in a bad state and quit her job. She drank at home all day, letting herself become decadent, as if this was the only way to numb the pain in her heart.

Ye Lan was still abroad. She had found a part-time job there and was getting by with the help of a few friends she knew. She didn’t want to ask about Ye Qingnan’s affairs anymore.

During that time, everyone lived in their own world. No one, no one knew how Ye Qingnan had gotten through it.

She endured the discomfort brought by her pregnancy. Because she didn’t dare to show her face outside, she would bundle up every time she went out. In the dead of night, looking at the empty home, she would unconsciously cry. Even in her dreams, she would pray for everyone’s forgiveness.

She was living in extreme pain.

But it seemed that heaven was not yet ready to let her go.

Before long, those photos and videos taken by Lu Xing were posted online without any censorship, causing a sensation.
