Love You for the Rest of My Life

Chapter 2338 - 2337: The One He Waited For Never Showed Up

The Queen got up and looked at her with heartache, reminding, "Take good care of yourself as you recover. A girl should learn to take care of herself."

As the Queen finished speaking, her eyes were slightly red. She genuinely liked Nangong Lin, truly treating her as a half-daughter-in-law. But now that she was rejected, it felt as though she was facing a divorce between her and her son, and she couldn’t bear it.

Sometimes, liking someone just means you can’t help but feel reluctant to part.

Seeing the Queen’s appearance, Nangong Lin also felt a bit sad. Although she initially didn’t have much feeling for the Queen, she could tell that the Queen genuinely liked her.

Otherwise, an esteemed Queen wouldn’t lower herself to come to Nangong’s house and talk to her.

She could very well have directly proposed marriage to the Nangong Family, and it would have been hard for Nangong Family, including her, to refuse.

At the moment the Queen turned around, Nangong Lin almost compromised. There was a fierce struggle in her heart, but she ultimately didn’t utter the word "wait."

With her injured leg, she could only watch her leave and said, "Your Highness, please take care. I’m sorry I can’t see you off."

"It’s alright." The Queen turned back with a forced smile, "Take good care of yourself, and I’ll visit you again when I have the time."

"Okay." Nangong Lin lowered her eyes.

The Queen left. As she reached the door, Nangong Lin murmured a soft apology.

The Queen paused for a moment but eventually did not stop or respond; she just left.

Nangong Lin watched her back, noticing that she seemed to be wiping her tears.

In an instant, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sadness, wondering if things were really going to end this way.

She didn’t know whether her apology was meant for the Queen, Alvin, or herself.

...

The Queen returned to the country, and everything seemed to fall into a stalemate.

Li Hui looked at Nangong Lin’s rather sorrowful appearance and wanted to persuade her, but she was stopped by Nangong Tiancheng.

Nangong Tiancheng said, "Nangong Lin is not a child anymore. She understands her own situation very well. She knows what she wants and what she fears. Others’ persuasion, obstruction, or analysis will only add to her troubles."

There was no sound from Alvin’s side, like a dead calm, and he didn’t contact Nangong Lin nor visited Nangong’s house.

Perhaps because he had said all he could, and done all he could, further entanglement would only bring him more sorrow.

Alvin’s concert soon started. It was his first concert after signing with the Empire, naturally grand and lively.

Gu Qibao, Nangong Ran, Nangong Jin, Di Jinxuan, they all attended by invitation, and Alvin also invited the Nangong Family.

But only Nangong Lin didn’t go. She firmly declined, saying her leg injury hadn’t healed yet.

She just didn’t want to see him so brilliantly on stage. She was afraid such brilliance would enchant her, making her go to him without hesitation, so she avoided it.

Almost everyone who could go, went, except for the one person most important to Alvin.

Alvin stood in the VIP room backstage to greet the invited guests, always waiting for Nangong Lin to appear.

Even though he knew it might just be a fantasy, he still waited.

He waited from the beginning to the end, and from the end to when the staff urged him to start the show, and Nangong Lin still didn’t appear. Alvin left, disappointed and lonely.

Although Alvin was feeling down, he remained very professional because Nangong Lin had once said, have your own faith, have your own professional ethics.

So, the concert was a great success. On stage, he was brilliant, perfectly in control, like the brightest star in the night sky, capturing everyone’s attention easily and making people scream and swoon for him.

Although he wore a smile, his heart was not happy because the person he longed for never appeared.
