  Fu Huai’an hugged Lin Nuan and kissed her deeply.

  Only after a long while, when the two of them were about to run out of breath, did Fu Huai’an release her sweet-as-honey lips. “Mrs. Fu’s lips are turning sweeter by the day!”


  Lin Nuan gradually displayed her sweet and soft side before Fu Huai’an’s eyes, without reservation…


  She was different from the Lin Nuan before other people’s eyes—she wasn’t calm and self-restrained, quiet and peaceful, but rather, acted delicate and charming like a little woman in love.

  Fu Huai’an liked such a Lin Nuan very much, so much so that he couldn’t tear away from her. Similarly… he couldn’t do without her!

  …


  At breakfast, Lin Nuan habitually browsed through her phone. Seeing a hot piece of news that had to do with Fu Huai’an, she couldn’t resist tapping on it to read more…


  Someone had snapped a photo of Fu Huai’an, Lu Jinnan, and Tang Xi sitting together and drinking tea, and they appeared to be having a pleasant conversation.

  There were three photos in the article. One was of Lu Jinnan handing Tang Xi a document, and the other two were of Tang Xi shaking hands with Fu Huai’an and Lu Jinnan.

  Lin Nuan was a little surprised; she could still vividly remember the situation when she ate with Tang Xi previously. Based on Lin Nuan’s understanding of Fu Huai’an, he didn’t like Tang Xi very much.

  Scrolling down to read the comments, all of them were making speculations as to whether Fu Huai’an and Lu Jinnan might really join the Jiahe Corporation!

  Lin Nuan looked up at the man sitting leisurely with his legs crossed and reading an English newspaper. She asked, “Did you go and meet Tang Xi yesterday?”


  “En!” Fu Huai’an replied.

  Lin Nuan didn’t bother asking Fu Huai’an whether he was truly joining the Jiahe Corporation, as she knew Fu Huai’an would certainly not do so.

  Lin Nuan lowered her head and continued browsing through the news. Below were headlines like… Fu Huai’an’s impending resignation from the Kaide Corporation to join the Jiahe Corporation, causing the Kaide Corporation’s share price to plunge rapidly.

  Lin Nuan’s mouth twitched. Fu Cheng had just held a press conference a few days back, saying that Fu Huai’an would return to the Kaide Corporation and devote himself back into work, but Fu Cheng ended up being slapped in the face mere days after making that announcement.

  Mainly, Fu Huai’an had yet to step forward and clarify his position; even if Weibo had exploded with such questions, Fu Huai’an maintained his silence.

  This made the matter appear all the more mystifying…


  According to logic, as President of the Kaide Corporation, if Fu Huai’an intended to stay on, then since the Kaide Corporation’s share price would suffer great ups or downs depending on whether he was staying, Fu Huai’an should be standing out to clarify matters and reassure the shareholders.

  However, not only did Fu Huai’an not clarify matters, he had gone to meet Tang Xi at such a sensitive time.

  One could simply guess what that meant.

  Thinking of her and Fu Huai’an’s predicament, Lin Nuan felt like laughing; it seemed like the two of them were going to resign one after the other…


  If it weren’t for Fu Huai’an’s vast accumulated wealth, which was able to support the two of them who were jobless, how would they be able to enjoy this sumptuous spread of a breakfast?

  “Is You Nainai coming over today?” Lin Nuan asked Fu Huai’an.

  Fu Huai’an’s gaze shifted away from the newspaper towards Lin Nuan. “What is it?”


  “With you accompanying me over this period, why not let Nainai take a good break to accompany Little Candy? I remember Little Candy saying before that, for as long as she could remember, You Nainai had been working every single day and never had an entire day to accompany her!” Lin Nuan couldn’t resist smiling at the thought of that little cutie pie, Little Candy. “Also, with us together, it’s… not convenient with Nainai around!”


  For instance, when Lin Nuan wanted to kiss Fu Huai’an, she would consider the fact that someone else was around, and she couldn’t very well kiss him before an outsider.

  When the feelings came, it was tough to hold back and not perform some little actions. Even if she had forced herself not to do it, it made her feel awful, as if a little cat paw was gently grazing against her heart.

  “What does Mrs. Fu want to do that’s inconvenient?” Fu Huai’an gazed at Lin Nuan with a look of interest as he raised his coffee cup and took a small sip.

  Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

  Couldn’t Fu Huai’an behave more seriously?

  Thankfully, Auntie Li was taking the rubbish outside, otherwise, who knew what she might think…


  …


  It wasn’t far from Tianfu Bay to Century Square. By the time Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an arrived, Lin Ran was already there.

  She drove there herself and didn’t ask the Lins’ chauffeur to send her.

  Lin Ran actually had a selfish motive behind that action—she feared the Lins’ chauffeur might be a blabbermouth and tell the Lins about her seeing Lin Nuan. Especially her mother, Liang Mulan. Lin Nuan had a place in Liang Mulan’s heart to begin with, and the former’s greatest wish was for Lin Ran and Lin Nuan to get along like good sisters so that she could have two daughters at the same time!

  However, Lin Ran didn’t want Lin Nuan to reappear and occupy a position in her mother’s heart, hence the decision to drive there herself secretly…


  Lin Ran could let go of the burden in her heart towards Lin Nuan, but she couldn’t tolerate Lin Nuan also calling Liang Mulan her mother!

  Lin Nuan had once accompanied Liang Mulan for nearly twenty years, much longer than she had stayed by Liang Mulan’s side. Lin Ran wasn’t very confident in herself and feared she might have a lower position in Liang Mulan’s heart compared to Lin Nuan.

  Today, Lin Ran was wearing a camel-colored windbreaker, high-heeled nude-colored boots, and was standing beside her car and holding a hot cup of coffee in her hand. There was another cup on the car for Lin Nuan.

  She didn’t know why she had bought two cups when she entered the cafe; when she left the place with those two cups, she regretted it a little…


  Buying a cup of coffee for Lin Nuan was nothing, but she felt like this act would make it appear like she was deliberately trying to please Lin Nuan. However, it wasn’t like she was planning on becoming good friends with Lin Nuan!

  When her thoughts came to this point, Lin Ran picked up the coffee on the car, planning to throw it away. However, before she could throw it into the trash, she saw Lin Nuan stepping out of a Maybach parked by the side of the road.

  Lin Nuan closed the car door and walked in her direction, causing Lin Ran to pause in her act of throwing away the coffee…


  Unintentionally seeing Fu Huai’an, who was seated in the driver’s seat with one hand on the steering wheel and talking on the phone, Lin Ran hurriedly looked away from him. The man’s powerful aura from his years in the business world exceeded that of even Lin Chen. Lin Ran felt fear towards Lin Chen from the bottom of her heart, much less when it came to facing Fu Huai’an.

  “Have you been here long?” Lin Nuan asked.

  Lin Ran frowned and feigned casualness as she handed a coffee to Lin Nuan. “Why is your husband here too?”


  “He’s on vacation now, so he’s keeping me company these few days!”


  Lin Nuan took the coffee but didn’t drink from it, merely holding it in her hand. Her fingertips felt the warmth of the cup; Lin Ran probably hadn’t arrived much earlier than her.

  “Then, you guys can drive ahead, and I’ll drive behind you…” Lin Ran said.

  “You can also park your car in the parking lot, and we can go there in one car,” Lin Nuan suggested.

  “No need for such trouble, I’ll drive myself!” Lin Ran walked towards her car after finishing that sentence, wearing a grim expression.

  Lin Ran and Lin Nuan’s relationship was awkward to begin with, so add her husband to that, as well as driving in the same car? Hur hur… Lin Ran wasn’t going to make life difficult for herself!

  Lin Nuan had expected such a situation and didn’t insist. She turned and walked back to the Mayback, pulling open the door to the front passenger’s seat and getting into the car. She then casually placed the cup of coffee in the cupholder.

  Fu Huai’an’s gaze swept over the coffee as he started the engine. “Is she following behind us?”
