  After that, she was saved by Fu Huai’an’s special operation forces. During this time, she suffered a gunshot wound to her leg.

  Due to her identity, she had special recognition across international borders and was able to return with Fu Huai’an in the same helicopter, and they were sent to the same hospital.

  That was when Chu Xun found out that he was the acclaimed lawyer, Fu Huai’an. He even had the capability to command the special operation forces!

  She didn’t dare to reveal to Fu Huai’an that she had caused Lu Xiangsi’s death indirectly.

  It was because of that slightest accidental glance that Lu Xiangsi was dead.

  This was why Chu Xun took it upon herself to try her best to compensate Tuan Tuan.

  She could take the place of Lu Xiangsi and provide love and care for Tuan Tuan.

  Although Tuan Tuan was a child of few words and didn’t open up to others easily, Chu Xun had faith that if she tried harder, Tuan Tuan would accept her one day.

  However, Chu Xun saw a photograph of Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan on Fu Tianci’s Weibo account.

  She could tell that the photo was taken at the villa at Tian Fuwan.

  This was because she had also bought a villa at Tian Fuwan in order to be closer to Fu Huai’an. Her villa was almost identical to that of Fu Huai’an’s.

  The photograph was taken in the dining room. Under the dim light, the image of Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan seemed to be warm and affectionate.

  Chu Xun was afraid that Tuan Tuan would grow fond of Lin Nuan!

  Chu Xun was also afraid that Lin Nuan might be cozying up to Tuan Tuan in order to get close to Fu Huai’an. Perhaps, she would kick Tuan Tuan aside once she had won his heart.

  Chu Xun took out yet another cigarette. She realized that she had left her lighter on her desk and stood up to walk toward her desk.

  “Tuan Tuan lost his mother and is pitiful enough, I don’t wish to see anyone using him!” Chu Xun stood in front of her desk, took the lighter, and lit the cigarette.

  She put down the lighter and leaned against the desk with more confidence and let out a long puff of smoke. She felt that she had made herself clear and continued, “Perhaps you may feel offended by what I am going to say, but please bear with me. I want to know, what exactly do you hope to gain from being with Fu Huai’an? If you are hoping for a career boost, I can help accomplish your aim.”


  Lin Nuan smiled and stood up. She turned to look at Chu Xun, who was still leaning against the table. “I don’t have much ambition when it comes to my career.”


  Chu Xun tapped her cigarette ashes and said, “If you have something else in mind, I can help you with it too. Just let me know what it is you desire, I don’t mind. If it’s within my means, I will help you to the best of my ability!”


  “President Chu, I don’t know how to tell you this, but… I’m very pleased with my life right now, I don’t need anything else!” Lin Nuan said as she clasped her fingers together in front of her. She smiled amicably. “Thank you for your kind offer.”


  Through the white cloud, Chu Xun narrowed her eyes…


  “Coincidentally in June 2014, Fu Huai’an saved my life too, so I can totally relate to what you said. When one is in despair in the face of death, Fu Huai’an’s sudden appearance became one’s last hope, and one would clutch and hang on desperately to him. I know what you mean…”


  Lin Nuan said casually.

  Chu Xun was taken aback; she gazed at Lin Nuan with probing eyes.

  Lin Nuan’s eyes were clear and bright, and she certainly didn’t look like she was lying. Chu Xun furrowed her brows in disbelief.

  To Chu Xun, this was a special connection she shared with Fu Huai’an—that he was her savior.

  She couldn’t tell if Lin Nuan was being manipulative and scheming.

  The cigarette she was holding in her fingertips continued to burn as white smoke slowly rose into the air…


  There was so much she wanted to say to Lin Nuan, but now, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
