  “What are you doing?” Fu Tianci finally asked after observing from behind Lin Nuan for a good while. The aroma was making him hungry.

  “Pan-frying salmon…”


  When Lin Nuan bent over and retrieved a plate from the cabinets, Fu Tianci saw that there was only one piece of salmon in the pan. Since he wasn’t asked, that meant she didn’t include his share. Fu Tianci pouted, his mood not too pleasant.

  Lin Nuan placed the pan-fried salmon onto a plate. With one hand carrying the plate and the other carrying the pan, she turned around, casually placing the pan in the sink, then handing the plate to Fu Tianci.

  Fu Tianci was caught by surprise for a moment. He looked up at Lin Nuan; how could she treat him like a waiter!

  Fu Tianci was a little annoyed, and he was about to leave with a dark face when he heard Lin Nuan ask, “You don’t want to eat this? Surely that little bit of food wasn’t enough for your breakfast? Salmon has a softer texture…”


  Without waiting for Lin Nuan to finish speaking, Fu Tianci received the plate with both hands, his mood suddenly sunny. He asked, “How about you? Are you not eating?”


  “You go ahead! I’ve had enough for breakfast…”


  Lin Nuan turned on the tap and put on gloves, preparing to wash the dishes.

  Fu Tianci carried the plate of pan-fried salmon in his hands and was about to turn around and sit down when he recalled that Lin Nuan was looking at AG on her phone earlier…


  He took a look at the salmon on his plate, then walked to the kitchen and asked, “You like AG phones, right? I passed the auditions in the talent contest, and every one of us who passed received an AG flagship phone that has yet to be released for sale to the public. If you want it, I can give it to you!”


  Seeing Lin Nuan raise her head, Fu Tianci then added in a nonchalant voice, “I dislike those phones with Auto-Beautification tools! I guess only you girls would like it!”


  “I’m satisfied with the phone I’m currently using and have no plans to change to a new one…” Lin Nuan set the washed milk glass aside.

  “I’m giving it to you for free, and you’re refusing. Are you silly or not?” Fu Tianci turned his head, casually walking to the dining table and starting to eat that piece of salmon.

  By the time Lin Nuan was done doing the dishes, Fu Tianci had yet to finish eating. He was browsing Weibo with one hand, while his other hand was holding onto a fork with salmon on it.

  Lin Nuan exited from the kitchen; when she passed by Fu Tianci, she happened to see Fu Tianci composing a post that he was about to upload to Weibo, as well as an accompanying video.

  [@King of Haicheng: Don’t know if this part will be cut out of tonight’s broadcast, so I’m posting it here in advance…]

  Lin Nuan didn’t interrupt Fu Tianci, merely thinking to herself that this kid’s Weibo name was a little silly.

  Without caring about how crazy things had gotten on the internet, Lin Nuan tidied up things a little after breakfast, then went to the yard and cut some vibrant-looking flowers to decorate the dining room with.

  Only when she noticed that it was about time to leave did she head upstairs to tidy up and put on some light makeup…


  When she was putting on lipstick, Lin Nuan received a call from Fang Yan, informing her she would reach Tianfu Bay in 10 minutes.

  Lin Nuan hung up the call and fixed her lipstick a little with her pinky, then headed to the dressing room to pick a slightly more formal and mature outfit. She changed and slipped into a pair of high heels, then slung her bag on her shoulder and headed downstairs.

  Fu Tianci, who was sitting in the living room, had his legs raised on the coffee table and was hugging a pillow. His gaze swept over Lin Nuan briefly, then returned to the television screen when he heard the female lead scream. His expression froze… he turned his head around to take another look at Lin Nuan.

  Lin Nuan wore makeup?

  Fu Tianci subconsciously asked, “Where are you going?”


  Lin Nuan thought that Fu Tianci was worried that he wouldn’t have anything to eat for lunch since Auntie Li had yet to return and she was leaving, so she said, “Auntie Li has gone to the seafood market and will be back in a while. She’ll be back to fix lunch for you by noon. I have something going on, so I need to leave first…”


  After all, Lin Nuan didn’t specify where she was heading!

  Fu Tianci’s little heart started thumping wildly again. Fu Tianci could tell Lin Nuan was a woman who normally didn’t wear makeup; the Lin Nuan with makeup on today looked even more gorgeous, her facial features even more stunning!

  However, Fu Huai’an was at the company at this time, and Lin Nuan was all dressed up and even had makeup done, could it be…


  Fu Tianci recalled what he had seen that day at the north gate of the station building, across the road from him—that view of Lin Nuan together with that short man!

  Could Lin Nuan be ignoring his advice and sneaking out for a rendezvous with that wild man?

  Fu Tianci promptly removed his legs from the coffee table and frantically slipped into his slippers, tossing the pillow he was hugging aside and running to the entryway.

  Fu Tianci only stuffed one foot into a shoe before he anxiously opened the door, running outside as he stuffed his other foot into the other track shoe…


  Those two bodyguards guarding by the door immediately chased after Fu Tianci, jogging along behind him.

  Fu Tianci chased all the way to the entrance of the area and saw Lin Nuan get into the familiar-looking Jeep Cherokee. His eyes widened to the size of copper rings.

  This Lin Nuan! She didn’t listen to his advice after all! How could she be dating this wild man here!

  Fu Tianci was so mad he felt his chest ache. This wouldn’t do… he had to stop Lin Nuan from committing mistakes repeatedly!

  He looked left and right and happened to see an empty cab, so he frantically blocked it with his outstretched arm.

  He had just pulled open the car door and gotten into the car when the two bodyguards climbed in after him, one into the back seat of the cab, and the other into the front passenger seat.

  The cab driver had never encountered such a situation before! His eyes were widened as he failed to figure out what was going on…


  Fu Tianci didn’t have the time to mind those two tail-like bodyguards. He whipped out several notes of large denominations to hand to the driver and spoke in an imposing manner. “Catch up to that Jeep Cherokee ahead, and all this shall be yours!”


  Fu Tianci told him the car plate number. The cab driver didn’t understand what was going on and was a little afraid, but he was tempted by the money. Seeing the stack of notes offered by the generous Fu Tianci, he gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator!

  Fu Tianci was feeling incredibly nervous; in his brain, there was already an image of Lin Nuan going to a hotel with that wild man, getting caught cheating by Fu Huai’an, and being driven out of the house… and the pitiful state she was reduced to as the public ridiculed and insulted her!

  As he thought of all this, Fu Tianci’s expression turned even more ghastly. He had to stop Lin Nuan before she committed another mistake!

  He prompted the driver impatiently, “Drive faster! Do you not want to earn money?”


  On account of the money, and also out of fear of the two burly bodyguards in black suits, the driver wasn’t calculative with Fu Tianci, merely stepping harder on his accelerator.

  …


  Inside the ward of Bai Xiaonian’s father.

  Lu Jinnan’s father was swiping his Weibo and found out Lin Nuan was actually married, and on top of that, she was married to the President of the Kaide Corporation, Fu Huai’an, who was both his elder son’s best friend and boss. They even had a kid this big already! He was a little confused…


  He had originally wanted to abduct the lady to become his daughter-in-law!

  He watched as Bai Xiaonian’s father hummed a little tune to himself, watering the potted plant on the windowsill in the ward with a disposable cup. He felt his temper rising to the top of his head…


  It was all Bai Xiaonian’s father’s lousy idea!

  If it weren’t for Bai Xiaonian’s father, would he think of abducting Lin Nuan home to become his elder son’s wife?
