  Fu Huai’an flicked his cigarette out through the opened window and turned around to look at Lu Jinnan pensively, as he stuffed his hands into his pocket. Lu Jinnan was standing beside the round table with a cigarette in one hand and a lighter in the other, but he didn’t light up the cigarette.

  Fu Huai’an stood still beside the window with a determined look, and he said forcefully in a low voice, “I intend to spend the rest of my life with Lin Nuan. So Lu Jinnan, don’t be hostile towards Lin Nuan anymore, I can’t bear to see her upset…”


  Lu Jinnan decided not to smoke and casually tossed the lighter onto the round table. Before he could flare up, Fu Huai’an continued, “I don’t wish to see my best friend and the woman I love most on bad terms.”


  Lu Jinnan clenched his jaws, and he cooled down somewhat when he heard the term ‘best friend’. “Is Lin Nuan more important than the Kaide Corporation? More important than all the effort you have put in all these years? Fu Tianci now has the support of the Mu family of Pengcheng. Fu, who’s behind you? Are you letting your effort, Tang Zheng’s effort, and my effort all go down the drain just for Lin Nuan?”


  He hadn’t intended to utter these words in front of Bai Jinyu’s girlfriend, in case word spread…


  But Xu Wanwan was more or less confirmed to become Bai Jinyu’s wife, and Lu Jinnan had let down his guard.

  “I’ve never intended to give up the Kaide Corporation, but there are many ways to get the Kaide Corporation. Yes, a shortcut would be good, but it’s just expediting the process by a few years. This versus losing the person who will spend the rest of my life with me… do you think this deal is worth it?” Fu Huai’an questioned.

  Lu Jinnan always knew what to say, but he was now at a loss for words.

  At this time, Lin Nuan’s phone, which she had placed on the dining table, rang. Xu Wanwan, who happened to be the gossipy sort, immediately stood up to take a look. She raised her head and said, “I think it should be Wen Moshen…”


  The caller identification on the phone showed ‘Brother Moshen’ and Xu Wanwan presumed that it was referring to Wen Moshen.

  “It’s probably him! Even we were shocked by the photos, let alone Wen Moshen! Tsk tsk…” Tang Zheng pursed his lips and continued, “His true love was once right in front of him, but he didn’t realize it… and now, she belongs to someone else! Fu is indeed competent. He’s claimed the girl as his own and married her right before the truth was exposed. Mr. Wen can weep and wail and cry his eyes out, but it’s too late for regrets now!”


  Fu Huai’an walked over to the dining table, where Lin Nuan’s phone was vibrating and moving on the table. He picked it up, switched it to silent mode, and locked the screen.

  The phone’s screen lit up again. It wasn’t Wen Moshen this time—the caller ID showed “Mum”.

  Back when the internet was buzzing with the scandal between Wen Moshen, Lin Nuan, and Gu Hanyan, Liang Mulan hadn’t been aware of it as her husband was still in trouble and things were in a mess. She couldn’t care less about the gossip news online.

  But now, Lin Jingquan was safe and sound back home. Liang Mulan had some time on her hands, and she was shocked when she came across the online news about her daughter.

  If Liang Mulan hadn’t bothered to contact Lin Nuan at once, Fu Huai’an would have questioned whether Liang Mulan did indeed care for her.

  …


  Outside their room, Lin Nuan clutched at her chest, trying her best not to burst into tears.

  “Lin Nuan only needs to love me one-tenth of how much she loved Wen Moshen, and even my life will be hers…”


  Fu Huai’an’s words were carved into Lin Nuan’s mind, and her mind was buzzing.

  Her heart was racing…
