895 Feel That It Was a Great Release Earlier!
Lu Qili's heart felt cold when she recalled what Fu Huai'an had said back in the cafe.
This time around, Lu Qili could be considered to have messed with Fu Huai'an's Achilles heel. Putting aside the fact that she wouldn't be able to meet Fu Huai'an in the future, she would have problems looking for a job as well.
She raised her hands and wrapped them around her arms, which had stiffened up from the cold. She bit on her pale lower lip as tears trickled down her face non-stop. Why did she do this on impulse under Lu Qingmei's provocation?
Other than making Fu Huai'an detest her, what else could she get out of making this lousy move?
Overwhelmed with despair, Lu Qili leaned against a big tree, hugging her arms and slowly squatting down. She broke out in tears.
On the way, Lin Nuan heaved out a breath as she leaned back against the front passenger seat's leather backrest. The fury in her heart was finally released…
"You aren't feeling well?" Fu Huai'an asked.
Lin Nuan smiled and shook her head. "That's not it. It's just that I feel that it was a great release earlier!"
Lin Nuan didn't hide her feelings from Fu Huai'an. Her lips curled up, and she was clearly feeling pleased and was acting a little childish.
"You're angered by such a small matter?" There was a hint of a smile in Fu Huai'an's voice, unlike the coldness in his tone when he spoke earlier.
"I just felt that Lu Qili was distorting her words too much. She did something that would hurt Tuan Tuan, yet she still dared to say that she wanted to see Tuan Tuan. Listen to her explanation… it's too far fetched no matter how we go about looking at it! Does she think that others are all fools who are easily deceived? Why didn't she think about it before saying these things?"
Fu Huai'an listened to Lin Nuan's grumblings, and his lips curled up even further…
In the past, Lin Nuan rarely shared with others what was in her heart. She tended to be very reserved, even if it was toward Bai Xiaonian and Song Yao, keeping everything to herself.
Right now, Lin Nuan was more like a young girl, chattering, and grumbling in front of Fu Huai'an. This made Fu Huai'an feel that Lin Nuan's heart was completely opened to him. This also suggested that her mental problem was gradually heading toward normality.
Fu Huai'an had one hand on the steering wheel. He reached his other hand across the center console, placed it on Lin Nuan's head, and gently rubbed it.
Lin Nuan stopped talking due to Fu Huai'an's actions. She turned and looked toward the smiling Fu Huai'an. "What's the matter?"
"I'm thinking of taking you out on a date like this every week in the future. Just the two of us…" After saying that, Fu Huai'an seemed to have thought of something. He turned and looked at Lin Nuan with a big smile, saying, "After the date, I can satisfy your wish of heading to the Cloud Top Condominium."
Lin Nuan slapped away the big hand on her head, her face flushing red. "Who wants to go to the Cloud Top Condominium!"
With just the two of them, Lin Nuan didn't need to think to know what they'd do if they were to go to the Cloud Top Condominium!
The way Fu Huai'an said it made it sound as if Lin Nuan had strong sexual desires…
Fu Huai'an's phone vibrated on the dashboard. Seeing that it was Lu Jinnan's call, Fu Huai'an picked it up.
Lin Nuan wanted to remind Fu Huai'an not to be on the phone while driving. However, when she heard Fu Huai'an call out Lu Jinnan's name, she swallowed back her words.
After hanging up the call, Fu Huai'an frowned and changed their route. "There are some things that I have to go back to the office to attend to. Taking you out on a date might have to be postponed until tomorrow."
Lin Nuan nodded. "En, it's alright. We can have a date anytime. Your work is more important. I'll go back and accompany Tuan Tuan. You can just let me off by the road where it's easy to get a cab!"
"After I reach the company, you can drive the car!" Fu Huai'an switched on the turn signal.
Lin Nuan wasn't even wearing a cap. Fu Huai'an couldn't feel assured letting her hail a cab by the streets.
Lin Nuan nodded and sat quietly in the front passenger seat, feeling a bit disappointed.
Fu Huai'an drove the car to the Kaide Corporation's entrance. Lin Nuan got out as well…
She went over to the driver's seat, having one foot in the car and one hand holding onto the car door as she said to Fu Huai'an, "I'll leave you to your work. I'll send you a WeChat message when I get home!"
Fu Huai'an nodded, shielding Lin Nuan's head as she got into the car. He then closed the door for her and backed off two steps, planning on heading up after Lin Nuan left.
Lin Nuan buckled the seatbelt and saw that Fu Huai'an hadn't left. His upright figure was still at the side. She rolled down the car window, and before she could urge Fu Huai'an to head up quickly, she saw him walking over and resting one hand on the roof of the car. He bent over and said to Lin Nuan, "Do you want to come up to my office with me and wait for me for a while?"
"Huh?" Lin Nuan looked into Fu Huai'an's eyes that were as deep as the night sky. Her face turned a little hot. "Weren't you busy with work?"
"I'll make arrangements as soon as possible. We'll be able to make it for the next movie screening!"
"Then…" Lin Nuan was hesitant, and she asked in a soft voice, "Will you still accompany me tomorrow?"
Fu Huai'an smiled and opened the car door. He stuck his body into the car to unbuckle Lin Nuan's seatbelt, then took her hand, pulling her out. He then said to the security guard at the entrance, "Park the car and send the key to the secretary's office."
The security guard nodded. "Alright, Chairman! Please rest assured!"
Fu Huai'an held Lin Nuan's hand and headed into the company. It was one thing for him to hold her hand outside… but there was no one in the company—from the higher management to the security guards—who didn't know Fu Huai'an. Moreover, Lin Nuan was a public figure, and many people recognized her. Furthermore, she wasn't even wearing a cap at the moment.
They entered the hall, and people were looking in Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an's direction.
Everyone started chattering…
"Isn't that the chairman and Lin Nuan?"
"Did I see wrongly? Wasn't it said that they were going to get a divorce?"
"That's right, I also heard that they had secretly divorced. Why are they still holding hands? He has already been made such a big cuckold! Most importantly… that child isn't his own, yet our chairman brought him up for so many years!"
Fu Huai'an took Lin Nuan's hand and was standing in the lobby area, and the couple was talking to each other. Fu Huai'an had a long and slender figure and was very tall as well. When Lin Nuan spoke, he would turn his head and lower his gaze to look at her… His eyes were filled with adoration, and even people who were standing at the side could sense that.
A few young ladies at the corner of the elevator lobby mumbled in soft voices amongst themselves…
"Didn't our chairman post on Weibo to clarify this?"
"That clarification didn't seem sincere at all. People who aren't aware would think that it was sent by someone else!"
"I feel that you guys are thinking too much. Given how our chairman does things, if Lin Nuan had really given birth to that child with someone else, we might not even be able to see her on television shows and the news, let alone see them holding hands!"
"That's right. I found it weird when this matter was reported. If that child really isn't the chairman's, then he'd be crazy to bring him up for so many years! It's just people who have nothing better to do, feeling jealous at the sight of the loving couple!"
