  With anger pent up in her chest, Chu Xun furrowed her brows tightly. Despite the unhappiness she was feeling, she tried her best to make her tone sound peaceful. “Huai’an, this concerns our Chu family, so I’d like to talk to you alone.”


  Without waiting for Fu Huai’an to reply, Chu Xun stared at Lin Nuan. She didn’t dare take a tough stance with Fu Huai’an, so she could only do it with Lin Nuan. “I vow that I’m looking for Huai’an regarding business matters and not personal ones! Can you let me speak to him in private?”


  She made it sound as if it was Lin Nuan’s fault…


  Auntie Li frowned; she used to think Chu Xun was okay, but seeing Chu Xun speaking to Lin Nuan in such a domineering manner, Auntie Li wasn’t pleased.

  “Regardless of business matters or personal matters, Huai’an has never hidden anything from me. President Chu, you may say it straight, I’m no big mouth. Furthermore, since it’s regarding business, it must concern Huai’an. For Huai’an’s sake, I would certainly not go around spreading this.”


  Lin Nuan spoke in a logical manner, making Chu Xun unable to flare up.

  She gripped her bag and had no choice but to say to Fu Huai’an, “Huai’an, I talked with my father yesterday. Those Kaide Corporation shares that my family and my relatives hold, if you need them, I can transfer them all to you!”


  By transferring, Chu Xun, of course, didn’t mean transferring for free…


  They held so many shares, so if the Chu family was going to give them up to Fu Huai’an, it would naturally be at a price higher than the current market value. They knew that Fu Huai’an would definitely want to get his hands on these shares. So long as the price wasn’t exorbitant, Fu Huai’an would agree.

  “But now, it’s not a good time for you to wash your hands of the Kaide Corporation and leave!” Chu Xun was anxious for Fu Huai’an. “Now that you have decided to go on a long vacation and yielded control over all matters, Grandpa Fu will certainly take the chance to place his own people into the company! By the time you get back… you will be no different from a figurehead. You need to think this through clearly. Don’t let your emotions get the better of you and ruin what’s important!”


  Chu Xun blamed the fact that Fu Huai’an was taking a long vacation on Lin Nuan, thinking that Lin Nuan had pestered Fu Huai’an to take her on holiday now that she had so much free time.

  What kind of timing was this!

  Fu Qingquan had been plotting to push his biological son into the position, and as Fu Huai’an’s wife, not only was Lin Nuan unable to help, she was adding to his troubles!

  Even the Chus could clearly see, if it weren’t for the fact that Fu Tianci was still too young, Fu Qingquan would long have arranged for his own son to work at the Kaide Corporation. He might have even put him in a position that wasn’t inferior to Fu Huai’an’s.

  Instead of grabbing hold of this opportunity to plant his own people into the company, as well as producing greater results and causing the board of directors following Fu Qingquan to change their minds and support him, Fu Huai’an was going on vacation!

  Chu Xun had come here self-righteously because she felt that Lin Nuan was a hindrance to Fu Huai’an, and so she wanted to come and advise him not to mess things up for a woman.

  “Having known Huai’an for so many years, President Chu, when have you ever seen Huai’an act on impulse?” Lin Nuan asked Chu Xun in turn, with the corners of her lips arched up coldly.

  Strictly speaking, Chu Xun had known Fu Huai’an for a longer time than Lin Nuan…


  But when it came to understanding him, Chu Xun couldn’t compare to Lin Nuan; Fu Huai’an was never one to act on impulse.

  Perhaps this was because Fu Huai’an had never allowed Chu Xun to understand him.

  Fu Huai’an caught the smirk on Lin Nuan’s face in his peripheral vision and couldn’t resist smiling.

  Chu Xun’s vision swept over Lin Nuan, then went back to Fu Huai’an, her breathing more urgent now. “Huai’an! Now isn’t a good time to go on vacation! I’m here to persuade you in the capacity of a friend today! Don’t mess up important matters because of your personal feelings! You’re going to regret this!”


  “I have my plans regarding the Kaide Corporation. Accompanying my wife on vacation is the most important matter right now.” Fu Huai’an turned his head and gazed at Lin Nuan lovingly.

  Chu Xun was nearly out of breath…


  She didn’t know how else to persuade Fu Huai’an, so she said, “My father can spare some time in his schedule today! At least take those shares first!”


  “Chu Xun, don’t do business by pushing your customers!” Fu Huai’an solemnly called Chu Xun by her name. Lin Nuan could sense the impatience and warning in his tone.

  How could a smart lady like Chu Xun not understand this…


  Don’t do business by pushing your customers—was he talking about the Kaide Corporation shares or about Chu Xun herself?

  All blood drained from Chu Xun’s petite face, causing it to appear especially pale under the sunlight.

  Chu Xun’s assistant had heard the entire conversation, and even he could understand the implied meaning. Even he felt embarrassed for Chu Xun.

  Chu Xun’s assistant got out of the car and pushed up the glasses on his nose, smiling as he said, “President Chu, we’re going to be late if we don’t set off now.”


  He was giving Chu Xun a way out of the embarrassing situation.

  Chu Xun’s eyes reddened, all the more convinced that Lin Nuan was a femme fatale who was going to hold Fu Huai’an back.

  As a daughter of the Chus, Chu Xun had her own pride. She gripped her shoulder bag and gazed at Fu Huai’an. “Huai’an, do you know how hard it was to convince my father to sell those shares? I have put a lot of effort into this. If you miss this chance, I’m not sure you’ll get another! I hope you will consider this properly!”


  After she finished her words, Chu Xun looked deeply at Lin Nuan before turning to walk towards her car with pride.

  Seeing this, the assistant pulled open the door to the backseat for Chu Xun.

  Chu Xun got into the car, and the moment the door closed, her tears flooded down like a string of broken pearls.

  Through the rearview mirror, Chu Xun could see Fu Huai’an holding Lin Nuan’s waist and opening the car door for her. He was smiling as he sheltered her head and let her get into the car first.

  Chu Xun felt like she was a joke. She had put in so much effort for Fu Huai’an’s Kaide Corporation! Yet it couldn’t compare to Lin Nuan’s wanting to take a vacation!

  Would it be too late for Fu Huai’an to regret it once he lost the entire Kaide Corporation for Lin Nuan?

  …


  After getting into the car, Lin Nuan couldn’t resist asking Fu Huai’an, “Do the Chu family’s shares really not matter?”


  Although Lin Nuan didn’t understand business matters, she knew that those Kaide Corporation shares must be very important to Fu Huai’an.

  Fu Huai’an smiled and replied, “Not as important as accompanying you!”


  Fu Huai’an and Lu Jinnan were taking long vacations. That, added to the Kaide Corporation’s losses from those projects, would cause those shares held by the Chus to fall to a low price. Fu Huai’an wasn’t anxious at all.

  By then, it would be the Chus who were anxious!

  Seeing that its master and mistress had already gotten into the car, the fat cat leaped onto the gate, standing together with Auntie Li and watching as the vehicle carrying Lin Nuan, Fu Huai’an, and Tuan Tuan drove further and further away.

  Auntie Li felt happy from the bottom of her heart. Ever since Tuan Tuan had a mother by his side, he had become more cheerful, and he had also started speaking more eloquently…


  Auntie Li recalled that when she first started taking care of Tuan Tuan, she had thought that Tuan Tuan couldn’t speak. Upon looking at the fair and tender little human, her heart ached for him.

  Then, later, when Tuan Tuan began speaking more and more words, Auntie Li felt truly happy!
