Could it be that he can’t let go of Nangong Ran, so he decided to stay?

Is Alvin planning some scheme to ruin Nangong Ran and Di Mingchen?

The more Nangong Lin thought about it, the more likely it seemed, because she couldn’t find any other reason!

She herself is an actress and has acted in many melodramatic TV shows and movies.

It’s not just women who are scheming; men also have those who are not simple and deep in scheming.

Thinking of Alvin last time ’kidnapping’ Nangong Ran.

Nangong Lin squinted her eyes. Although Alvin’s words and actions and appearance don’t look like that kind of twisted pervert, you can’t be sure!

After all, you know a person’s face but not their heart, painting skin and bones is easy, but painting a heart is hard!

No, no, if Alvin has such intentions, then she has to keep an eye on him.

Nangong Ran and Di Mingchen are so happy now, everyone is envious, and she won’t allow anyone to destroy Nangong Ran’s relationship, absolutely not!

Alvin moved in next door to her, probably thinking that it’s easier to get close since they’re both artists.

And she’s Nangong Ran’s older sister!

Could Alvin be wanting to start with her?

Getting close first, then playing tricks; if the tricks don’t work, maybe he’ll tear off the mask and use her to threaten Nangong Ran.

Nangong Lin, after all, is an experienced actress. Once she thought about it, she easily imagined a shocking conspiracy, scaring herself into a cold sweat.

"I absolutely won’t allow such a thing to happen!" Thinking of this, Nangong Lin angrily clenched her fists.

What kind of role hasn’t she played?

What melodramatic plot doesn’t she know?

Palace intrigue, family rivalry, workplace dramas, ethical conspiracies, tearing apart mistresses, revenge, twisted suspense, so she should be able to take on Alvin!

Thinking this, Nangong Lin settled down, dismissively threw the box of jewels the queen sent her into the utility room.

...

It was soon evening, and her room door was indeed knocked, surely Alvin calling her for dinner.

Nangong Lin went to open the door, Alvin stood quietly at the entrance, surprisingly serene like a painting.

But Nangong Lin showed an expressionless face, even somewhat disdainful, asking, "What’s up?"

Alvin was a bit puzzled, not understanding why she suddenly put on a stone-faced look.

His coming to invite her to dinner was half pressured by the queen, half out of courtesy.

"Nothing." Alvin offered a graceful and courteous smile, nodded slightly, "We had plans to have dinner together tonight."

"Oh." Nangong Lin nodded, "Let me change my clothes first."

After speaking, she closed the door, and quite hard at that.

Standing at the doorway, Alvin was utterly baffled, completely at a loss.

It took him a while to sort it out.

But he couldn’t be sure of his thoughts, so he suppressed the idea.

Nangong Lin changed her clothes, opened the door, and found Alvin still standing gentlemanly and courteously at the entrance.

Seeing her open the door, he made an inviting gesture, "Please, esteemed Miss Nangong Lin."

Nangong Lin knew B Country was a country of gentlemen, used to these etiquettes.

She wasn’t too explicit, still took Alvin’s arm, but internally sneered, you pretender, keep pretending, let’s see how long you can keep it up!

Being held like this, Alvin suddenly felt a different sensation.

Just feeling, this woman is so strange!

Clearly an actress, yet seems unable to hide her feelings, appears a bit naive, holding his arm in a rather perfunctory manner, but still strangely tugged out a smile, quite fake.
