  Chu Jiaoyang was a little surprised that she had hit someone. She retreated a step, her chest heaving up and down violently.

  The butler took another look at the young lady. There were tear droplets on her dense and long eyelashes, and her dark and pretty eyes were washed by tears, appearing bright.

  Her expression was like that of a little white rabbit, making the butler unable to reprimand her.

  Men had a natural weakness for delicate women, and the butler was a heterosexual male, so naturally, he was unable to withstand the way that young lady looked—like she was about to burst into tears at any moment. This was especially so since she was such a pretty lady.

  Chu Jiaoyang’s pitiful and pretty face was rather useful.

  Chu Jiaoyang didn’t apologize, but the way she bit her lip and gazed apologetically at the butler was enough to appease him.

  However, when the butler thought of how this young lady was rushing to become someone’s mistress simply because she had a pretty face, the butler despised her from the bottom of his heart.

  The butler turned around and bowed to You Nainai, who was preparing to close the door, before taking his leave.

  You Nainai wanted to close the door, while Chu Jiaoyang wanted to use her bag to stop the door from closing. But before she could shove her bag between the door, You Nainai had already closed it, making an infuriated Chu Jiaoyang scold You Nainai in a loud voice.

  Bai Xiaonian laughed really hard, feeling that You Nainai was super awesome…


  The three of them happily proceeded to the dining room and closed the door to shut out Chu Jiaoyang’s voice.

  You Nainai was unwilling to sit down originally, but she was pressed down into a seat by Lin Nuan, and only then ate at the same table with Bai Xiaonian and Lin Nuan.

  “I feel that the Chus all have something wrong with their brains!” Bai Xiaonian shook her head as she cut the steak on her plate. “But at least President Chu gives others the impression that she’s normal, whereas this Chu Jiaoyang is a downright idiot! Does she think that everyone is her mother! She’s so spoiled…”


  Bai Xiaonian felt both angry and amused. “Say, why can’t all the Chu women take their eyes off your man?”


  Lin Nuan sent the steak to her lips, subconsciously saying, “Why not say… Huai’an’s charm is great.”


  Bai Xiaonian remained silent, a series of ellipses going through her mind.

  She couldn’t carry on eating!

  Here Bai Xiaonian was, feeling indignant on Lin Nuan’s behalf, and in the end, she was fed a mouthful of dog food!

  Bai Xiaonian disagreed silently.?

  Pondering over them again, Bai Xiaonian felt that there was something wrong with Lin Nuan’s words—it seemed like she was furious…


  The phone in the living room rang, so Lin Nuan set down her cutlery and jogged to the living room.

  Outside the door, she could hear hotel staff talking with Chu Jiaoyang.

  Even separated by a door, Lin Nuan could hear Chu Jiaoyang sobbing as she said to the hotel staff in English, “The bad woman inside is stopping me from seeing my Brother Huai’an!”


  Lin Nuan sighed as she bent over and saw that the incoming call was from Fu Huai’an. She removed it from the charger and, finding the living room too noisy, went to the bedroom and closed the door before putting the call through.

  “What is it?” Lin Nuan asked Fu Huai’an as she walked to the window and pulled open the curtains.

  “Have you had lunch?”


  Fu Huai’an’s magnetic voice carried a hint of a smile, making him sound alluring.

  “Eating…” Lin Nuan then added, “Chu Jiaoyang is still outside our suite, and it seems like hotel security has been alerted to this. She’s calling me a bad woman who is stopping her from seeing you!”


  Fu Huai’an frowned on the other end of the line. “Okay, I got it. Eat something to fill your stomach a little first. I’ll take you to a restaurant later…”


  “Forget it, with Chu Jiaoyang making a scene at the door, I’ve lost my appetite!”


  Although Lin Nuan’s voice sounded clear and gentle as usual, Fu Huai’an could tell that his little bride was infuriated.

  “I’ll get Little Lu to handle Chu Jiaoyang. Eat a little something first.” Fu Huai’an then paused and lowered his voice, saying, “Even if you eat too much, it’s fine. We can just do some exercise that gives pleasure to both of us before lunch to help you digest the food.”


  Lin Nuan’s ears blushed.

  This wasn’t the same Fu Huai’an that Lin Nuan had met the first time she saw him.

  Never mind that time in Iraq, as Lin Nuan still had no clue of Fu Huai’an’s identity back then.

  She was referring to the Fu Huai’an who came over to Tuan Tuan the first time at Haicheng TV Station. He was wearing a suit and exuded a noble and high-and-mighty aura with every movement. He was the sort of successful, wealthy, handsome, and mature man, who although spoke little, exuded an intimidating and powerful aura.

  But now, Fu Huai’an no longer had the aura of a gentleman in front of Lin Nuan…


  He was a big gangster in front of her now.

  However, why was Lin Nuan growing increasingly fond of such a Fu Huai’an?

  The little bit of anger in Lin Nuan dissipated in a matter of moments.

  She held back the smile in her tone and deliberately lowered her voice as she said, “Why is your brain full of… this kind of thing?”


  Lin Nuan almost couldn’t hold back the smile in her voice during those last few words. With her lips pursed, she heard Fu Huai’an gently reply, “My little bride is too young and too charming!”


  After hanging up the call, Lin Nuan looked at the vague reflection of herself in the French windows…


  Her fair face had a radiant glow to it; coupled with her misty eyes, she appeared like a little woman madly in love.

  She drew open the French windows, and chilly air entered and dissipated the heat on her cheeks.

  When she returned to the dining room, Bai Xiaonian saw the radiant look on her face and knew it was Fu Huai’an who had called, so she grinned wickedly.

  Bai Xiaonian had yet to finish her steak, but she set her cutlery aside and wiped her mouth with a napkin, saying to Lin Nuan, “I’ll just eat a little something to allay my hunger for now. Lu Jinnan said he’s bringing me to eat good food!”


  Bai Xiaonian wanted to feed Lin Nuan some dog food too…


  Lin Nuan nodded. “Huai’an said the same thing. Perhaps we’re all going together!”


  Bai Xiaonian remained silent, a series of ellipses going through her mind.

  “Can’t we be good friends who get along merrily?” Bai Xiaonian pretended to be angry as she slammed the table.

  Lin Nuan looked lost.

  “I just wanted to counter your public show of affection by returning the same. Why is that so hard?” Bai Xiaonian looked resentful.

  This… Lin Nuan truly had no idea how to go about answering this.

  You Nainai, who had been burying her head in her food all along, suddenly said, “After all, it’s the men who are a letdown…”


  Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

  Bai Xiaonian remained silent, a series of ellipses going through her mind.

  After these words escaped You Nainai’s mouth, she sensed that what she said wasn’t too appropriate, so she awkwardly smiled and continued burying her head in her food.

  This was why You Nainai was unwilling to eat at the same time. Now that she was Lin Nuan’s assistant and personal bodyguard, eating at the same table made You Nainai unable to draw the line between friendship and work, and so sometimes it was easy to let her mouth slip.

  However, thankfully, she wasn’t criticizing Fu Huai’an; that line was actually a compliment of sorts to Fu Huai’an…


  You Nainai patted her chest in her mind—thank god!

  Bai Xiaonian felt pent-up, but she couldn’t deny that what You Nainai said seemed to make sense, so in her mind, she prepared to go back and torment Lu Jinnan tonight.

  …


  Outside the presidential suite…


  Chu Xun had rushed over after receiving a call from Fu Huai’an’s assistant, Little Lu. When she arrived, she heard the hotel’s security staff asking Chu Jiaoyang to produce her identification documents.
