However, Lin Nuan didn’t think that she’d be able to win against Fu Huai’an in words. She felt that she wasn’t as thick-skinned as Fu Huai’an! Even ten of her wouldn’t be able to win against one Fu Huai’an!

Therefore, Lin Nuan admitted her loss!

Seeing his wife blushing to the extent that even her ears were flush red, Fu Huai’an was in an excellent mood. His mood was even better than when he saw Fu Qingquan’s grim countenance after he had created trouble for him!

Their gazes met, and Lin Nuan was about to say something when the microphone rang out. The engagement party had started.

Neither Lin Nuan nor Fu Huai’an got close. The two of them sat on the sofa and watched as the others gathered at the stairs.

Fu Qingquan had invited Jincheng TV Station’s famous host, Cui Jianning, to be the emcee for the engagement ceremony. Cui Jianning stood in front of the microphone and gathered everyone at the stairs with a few humorous lines.

Today was the first time Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an met the Mu family’s daughter, Mu Mantong.

Mu Mantong sat in her wheelchair and rested both hands orderly on her legs as she smiled at everyone. Even if others were looking at her with a judgmental gaze, with some of them even assessing her legs without any restraint, she kept up a smile and showed her sweet dimples on her fair cheeks.

Unlike how Fu Tianci was wearing a sullen expression, Mu Mantong didn’t seem to be against this engagement. She even… looked as if she was feeling happy from the bottom of her heart.

“That face is really deceiving! People who don’t know her would really think that she’s a young miss from a wealthy family who doesn’t know much about the world! Tsk tsk tsk… It’s a pity that she didn’t join the entertainment circle!”

Hearing that, Lin Nuan raised her head and saw Su Manman taking a seat next to her.

Beauty Su still appeared charming with an air of superiority. Her words were filled with mockery toward Mu Mantong, but the smile directed toward Lin Nuan was amiable.

“I asked for your help to shoot a scene, but I didn’t expect you to do so well. Your fame is almost winning over mine!” There wasn’t a hint of jealousy in Su Manman’s words. She sounded genuinely happy, and even the depths of her eyes were filled with smiles.

Lin Nuan’s performance had really taken Su Manman by surprise.

She revealed a rumor to Lin Nuan. “I heard that Shu Xin has already lowered her stand to Director Chen and said that she wants to meet you.”

This took Lin Nuan by surprise. After all, Shu Xin hadn’t thought well of her previously and had even sent out that Weibo post.

“Why are you showing such a torn expression?” Su Manman casually placed her wine glass on the coffee table. “If you don’t wish to meet her, then don’t! She was against you previously. If you meet her, you’ll be giving her face. If you don’t, it’s all within reason. Who told her to put on airs and speak so confidently before?”

Lin Nuan smiled at Su Manman and, with a tone as if she was speaking to someone close, said, “I’m not you. How can I possibly speak with such confidence?”

This was a matter of character. Su Manman didn’t attempt any explanations.

After taking a look at Fu Huai’an, Su Manman spoke up again to express her loyalty toward him. “Because of Grandaunt, my grandfather and parents have to uphold their attitude toward the engagement for Granduncle’s son. However, since our family has to send a representative, they got me to come. There is no other meaning behind this.”

Fu Huai’an nodded.

Su Manman picked up the cake that Lin Nuan had yet to have a chance to eat. She pinched a bit of it and sent it toward her mouth as she glanced around at the luxurious manor that was like a castle. “I didn’t expect Granduncle to treat this private son so well. It’s no wonder that Grandaunt is angry.”

Su Manman’s identity was special. She had arrived late and headed upstairs after greeting Fu Qingquan. It was only when the engagement started that she came down to look for Lin Nuan.

It wasn’t appropriate for Lin Nuan to comment much on the Fu family’s matters. She merely smiled and didn’t say anything.

In the distance, Fu Tianci’s mother, Lu Qingmei, was holding the microphone, saying things like how much she liked Mu Mantong… and how she hoped that Mu Mantong and Fu Tianci would be able to get married earlier.

Su Manman didn’t feel anything toward Fu Tianci, but she detested Lu Qingmei a lot.

Despite being a mistress, she acted arrogantly, as if she was the main wife. Su Manman didn’t like this about Lu Qingmei…

“Is Granduncle really going to divorce Grandaunt and be with that woman?” Su Manman directed her question toward Fu Huai’an.

Fu Huai’an was already unhappy that Su Manman’s sudden appearance had disturbed his alone time with Lin Nuan. He said without any emotion, “Who knows.”

“I heard that in the wee hours tonight, someone will expose the news that Fu Tianci is an illegitimate child.” Su Manman drew a piece of tissue paper to wipe her mouth. “It’s best if you let Granduncle know about this in advance. Otherwise, Granduncle might push the blame onto you.”

After saying this, Su Manman stood up and said, “I’ll make a move first! I still have an appointment!”

Su Manman then put on a cap and, in long strides, walked over to a red sports car parked in the parking lot outside.

Fu Huai’an didn’t plan on staying at the engagement party for long. After Fu Qingquan came out together with Mu Mantong and Fu Tianci, Fu Huai’an carried Tuan Tuan, took Lin Nuan’s hand, and walked out of the hall.

“Fu Huai’an!”

The family of three had just stepped out when they heard Fu Tianci’s shout.

They turned, and Fu Tianci, who was dressed in a white suit, ran over. He panted and stopped in front of the family of three, saying, “I have something to talk to you about!”

“I’ll take Tuan Tuan to the car first!” Lin Nuan wanted to take Tuan Tuan from Fu Huai’an’s hands.

Fu Huai’an avoided Lin Nuan’s hands and placed Tuan Tuan on the ground. He bent down and said, “Mama is wearing high heels, and it’s inconvenient for her to walk on the stone pavement. Take her hand well, alright?”

Tuan Tuan nodded fiercely and patted his little chest, saying in his childish voice, “Man!”

Fu Huai’an rubbed Tuan Tuan’s little head and nodded. “Mmm! Man!”

Standing back up, Fu Huai’an took off his blazer and handed it to Lin Nuan. “Put in on! The car key is in the pocket!”

Lin Nuan nodded.

Tuan Tuan, who had received Fu Huai’an’s “imperial orders”, took Lin Nuan’s hand and “supported” her as they walked to the car.

Lin Nuan searched for the car key in Fu Huai’an’s pocket, opened the door to the backseat, and slid inside together with Tuan Tuan. She left the door open.

…

The night breeze was cool, and Fu Tianci felt a little cold even while wearing his blazer, much less Fu Huai’an, who was only wearing his fitted shirt.

When Fu Tianci saw that Fu Huai’an’s figure remained upright, not showing any signs of being cold, he felt that his worry was needless. After a long time, he said, “My mother came to talk to me today. The reason she is staying with my father is so that she can get the Kaide Corporation!”

This was something within Fu Huai’an’s expectations, and he wasn’t surprised. However, he was surprised that Fu Tianci would tell him this.

Looking at Fu Huai’an’s deep eyes, Fu Tianci suddenly felt very uncertain, and his heart kept pounding.

“I guess that my mother is just worried that I won’t be able to give her a lavish life when she gets old!” Fu Tianci’s fists clenched tightly. “I heard that… my father has split his assets into three parts. My share is the biggest, followed by my mother, then you!”
