  Lin Nuan held her teacup in her hands as she turned to look at Fang Yan.

  “I have a friend at Mr. Fu’s law firm. I heard from him that… this mansion is under your name!”


  Lin Nuan had never heard Fu Huai’an mention this before.

  “Looking at your expression, I’m guessing you had no idea! Your Mr. Fu is really sincere towards you!” Fang Yan couldn’t conceal the envy in her eyes.

  She wasn’t envious of Lin Nuan’s mansion. What she was envious of was Fu Huai’an’s attentiveness towards Lin Nuan.

  Looking at Lin Nuan’s surprised expression, Fang Yan smiled and picked up a piece of fruit with her fork, sending it to her lips to take a bite. When she thought of her own husband, the expression in her eyes turned dim… Not every woman in the world was Lin Nuan, getting to meet someone like Fu Huai’an.

  Miss Xia suddenly edged closer and used her gaze to gesture for Fang Yan to look at Yun Liuli. “That young lady has good potential. Interested in getting her to sign under our agency?”


  Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

  Lin Nuan realized that after setting up the agency, Miss Xia was especially passionate about signing people under their agency!

  Fang Yan shook her head, but before she could speak… the glamorous beauty Su Manman entered in her high heels.

  She dashingly handed her shoulder bag to a servant and asked the servant to bring her a glass of brandy. She then raised a hand to wave hello to Fang Yan, whom she was already familiar with, looking charming with every gesture.

  Xu Wanwan nearly spat out the fruit tea in her mouth. She was Su Manman’s superfan. With her idol right before her eyes, she nearly turned around to grab Bai Xiaonian’s collar in shock. But when she saw the anger in Bai Xiaonian’s eyes as she talked to someone on the phone, she could only bite her own tongue to stop herself from screaming.

  Lin Nuan saw that following behind Su Manman… was the lackadaisical looking Fu Tianci, who had both hands in his pockets. She looked a little surprised. “Why did the two of you come together?”


  “I saw him kicking rocks by himself at the door earlier, looking like he was too embarrassed to tell the door guard who he was, so I brought him in!” Su Manman explained.

  Fu Tianci’s ears blushed. He looked at Su Manman sideways with a frown. “Don’t tell me I need to tell the door guard that I’m Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan’s uncle? Do you think the door guard would have let me in if I identified myself that way?”


  Lin Nuan caught sight of the headphones hanging around Fu Tianci’s neck, which were her Christmas present to him.

  Fu Tianci also noticed where Lin Nuan was looking, and his ears turned even redder. He dodged from Lin Nuan’s vision uneasily, then, in a clumsy denial that resulted in self-exposure, said, “My headphones stopped working, so I just casually wore these!”


  Lin Nuan nodded, not exposing the proud youth.

  Perhaps because the room was filled with girls, Fu Tianci didn’t enter. “Where’s Fu Huai’an? I snuck over here, so I have to get him to give Secretary Song a call, lest there be trouble all over town again!”


  Lin Nuan arranged for a servant to bring Fu Tianci over. She walked to the door and said in a low voice to Fu Tianci, “A lot of people will be coming over today and tomorrow. Please help look after Tuan Tuan. I feel more assured with one of our family looking after Tuan Tuan instead of the servants!”


  Hearing the words “one of our family”, Fu Tianci clenched the hands in his pockets, unable to stop his face from reddening. He felt like hot steam was rising from the top of his head, yet he deliberately kept a straight face and nodded. “Got it, so troublesome! Leaving!”


  The stubborn youth couldn’t hide the joy in the way he walked as he left.

  Hearing Lin Nuan introduce people to Su Manman, Bai Xiaonian hung up the call.

  Song Yao said that she wasn’t going to be there today, saying she would certainly be there tomorrow. Bai Xiaonian couldn’t help feeling angry.

  Lin Nuan getting married was such a significant event, and Song Yao decided not to show up that night with a phone call…


  Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan’s relationship was so awkward now, yet for Lin Nuan, she had braced herself and shown up. What important matter could Song Yao be busy with that she couldn’t reschedule?

  “Another friend is coming in a while. She should be able to get along well with you!” Lin Nuan thought of Xie Jingqian and said to Bai Xiaonian, remembering that those two girls were equally fervent about kinky lingerie and had both gifted some to Lin Nuan before.

  Speaking of the devil, the devil arrived. The Xie family of Wei City were wealthy themselves, so Xie Jingqian was long accustomed to such a grand mansion. Xie Jingqian came in high heels, with the Fu family’s servants staggering behind her awkwardly while they walked with large boxes piled so high that they couldn’t see the path before them.

  “Nuan Nuan, I’ve brought your wedding gifts!”


  Hearing the word “gifts”, Lin Nuan had a bad feeling about this.

  Xie Jingqian then added, “No one here is underaged, right?”


  An alarm went off in Lin Nuan’s heart. “Yes, there is!”


  Xie Jingqian’s vision swept over Yun Liuli, who was eagerly looking in one direction, then nodded. She pointed for the servants to set the things down, then twisted her head and saw Su Manman…


  Su Manman raised her eyebrows and propped up her palm-sized petite face with one hand. She stared at Xie Jingqian with the arrogant air of a superstar, her legs crossed as she shook the wine glass in her hand. “How honored for Miss Xie to grace my cousin and sis-in-law’s wedding with her presence.”


  “You’re being too polite, Miss Fu. Miss Fu, you’re two years older than Nuan Nuan, you’re making Nuan Nuan sound older than she is by calling her your sis-in-law!”


  Age… was a woman’s greatest taboo, especially for a vain woman like Su Manman!

  Lin Nuan sensed that the atmosphere had changed. Xie Jingqian and Su Manman seemed to be acquainted, and moreover… there appeared to be great enmity between the two of them!

  Su Manman didn’t look mad. She laughed lightly, her finger twirling one lock of her hair. “I’m Fu Huai’an’s blood-related younger cousin, so there’s certainly no problem with me addressing her as my sis-in-law…”


  Everyone knew that Xie Jingqian was an adopted daughter of the Xie family, so Su Manman’s usage of the term “blood-related” was clearly meant to prick at her heart!

  Xie Jingqian sat down leisurely, the corners of her red lips turning up. “Since you are Fu Huai’an’s younger cousin, go look for Fu Huai’an! On the night before the wedding, the bride should be hanging out with her friends, while the groom should be hanging out with his friends and relatives. Are you here as an undercover spy?”


  Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

  The gazes of everyone in the room were darting between the two of them. Even Yun Liuli, who seemed to be in her own world, had turned her head and looked over at the two of them.

  “I say…” Lin Nuan spoke.

  “Although my blood-related surname is Fu, my gender is female… I’m also friends with Nuan Nuan apart from being cousins-in-law with her!” Su Manman turned her head and shot Xie Jingqian a provocative look. “Of course, I’m free to play with whichever side I please!”


  Xie Jingqian set her shoulder bag aside and crossed her fair and clean legs as she smiled at Su Manman’s side profile. She nonchalantly fidgeted with her newly-manicured nails. “Play with whichever side you please? How liberal of Miss Fu! No wonder you’re aggressively chasing the winner of the Best Actor Award while eyeing someone else’s husband…”


  Su Manman’s temples throbbed a little upon hearing this. She really didn’t want to explain this misunderstanding that arose from getting drunk. She couldn’t see eye to eye with Xie Jingqian anyway. Su Manman played along and said, “Then, Miss Xie, do pay close attention to your husband. Beware, lest he be eyed by me…”


  Lin Nuan gasped. Xie Jingqian cared most about Ji Zibai, so she would undoubtedly be furious hearing this from Su Manman.

  However, Xie Jingqian didn’t look angry, still maintaining a slight smile in her beautiful eyes. “Miss Su, you’d better be careful about your best actor. When I came, I saw him being checked for drunk driving, and a gentle and beautiful young lady was sitting in his front passenger seat.”
