Chapter 705 - The Two of You Are a Walking Dog Food Dispenser

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ever since that time in Dubai, when Lin Nuan thought that Fu Huai’an had gotten into an accident, she realized…

The most important thing was for one to cherish what one had at the moment, for no one knew between an accident and tomorrow, which would come first!

Just as Lin Nuan said, she lived in happiness with Fu Huai’an every day, and it wasn’t enough, even for a lifetime. So where would she find the time to suspect… and get jealous?

“Moreover…” Lin Nuan placed her left hand under the sensor of the soap dispenser and got some bubble foam, then rubbed her hands together and looked up at Fang Yan, who had her arms crossed in the mirror. She smiled and said, “If other people have designs on my husband, it shows that my husband is outstanding. And my husband’s wife is me, so that means I’m the most outstanding!”

Fang Yan was tickled by Lin Nuan’s theory. “Alright, alright, alright! You’re the most terrific! You’re the most outstanding!”

Although she said it that way to Lin Nuan, Fang Yan finally understood why amongst all the beauties in the world, the one who ultimately became Mrs. Fu was Lin Nuan.

Lin Nuan drew two paper towels and wiped her hands dry after washing them, then walked back to the suite with Fang Yan.

The sound of their footsteps became increasingly distant. The door to the last stall was pushed open, and Chu Xun walked out from it…

She had cut her hair short, to her shoulders, and was exuding a capable yet feminine aura. She was wearing lipstick in the shade of maple leaf and a tight-fitting cream-colored skirt, making her waist appear thin and her legs long. On top, she was wearing a dark purple fur coat, which had fallen off one shoulder. The remaining side… looked like it might fall off at any moment.

If Chu Xun weren’t in a drunken state, her clothing would certainly make her look mature, elegant, and glamorous.

Her high heels clacked on the marble flooring in the washroom, her footsteps sounding messy.

Chu Xun walked to the sink, the purple fur coat already having slipped entirely off her shoulders. She leaned her two fair elbows on the sink and looked up at her flushed reflection in the mirror, laughing softly. It wasn’t clear whether it was in a self-mocking manner or being sarcastic to others.

She stared at her own reflection for a long time. No matter how outstanding and pretty she was, Fu Huai’an only had Lin Nuan in his heart!

Lin Nuan was right. Even if others had designs on Fu Huai’an, Fu Huai’an wouldn’t have batted an eye at those people…

She herself had stripped naked in front of Fu Huai’an, yet he didn’t lay a finger on her.

His breathing didn’t even become abnormal.

The drunker she was, the more vivid the scene from Tianfu Bay became to Chu Xun. She could even remember the way Fu Huai’an’s eyes remained emotionless as she stood completely naked before him.

Chu Xun burped, then lowered her head. She was feeling a little nauseous, yet she didn’t vomit. She felt groggy, shaky, and unsteady.

She had begged her father for a long time, finally getting him to agree to seek out Fu Huai’an to talk once more!

After her father went to look for him, he had come back in a fury. He said that Chu Xun had caused him to be entirely disgraced, then asked Chu Xun’s mother to arrange blind dates for her, wanting to marry her off before the year was over!

Chu Xun stared at her pretty reflection in the mirror and lightly laughed, to the point that tears slipped from her eyes.

She only loved Fu Huai’an in this lifetime. Why was it so difficult?

Even if it was for a short period of time, she only wanted to possess him once!

What Lin Nuan said replayed in Chu Xun’s mind… There aren’t so many instances of “the future is still long” in life. With each passing day, there’s one day less.

Yes, with each passing day, there was one day less. So what did she have to fear?

Under the effect of alcohol, Chu Xun’s mind was unclear. She had pent-up anger in her heart, and a ball of fury was burning within her.

With her arms propped up against the sink, she shakily bent over and picked up her fur coat with much difficulty. Afterwards, she pushed open the door and left the washroom…

From Lin Nuan’s earlier conversation with the other person, Chu Xun could tell that Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an were also in this hotpot shop and that some woman had boldly toasted Fu Huai’an!

She was also bold. She had even stripped naked in front of Fu Huai’an, so what was there to fear?

Chu Xun was groggy and completely unaware of her current state. She only had a single thought in her mind—to find Fu Huai’an.

She walked out, leaning against the wall…

When she passed by the smoking zone, Chu Xun halted in her footsteps when she heard two men mention Fu Huai’an’s name.

“I didn’t expect Fu Huai’an to be so down-to-earth, to be eating hotpot with us! It’s like I’m dreaming!”

“I think he’s doing this to accommodate his wife, Lin Nuan! But we’re not significant enough. After all, look at how he’s not drinking alcohol and is only drinking tea!”

“It’s not bad that we get to eat at the same table. If it weren’t for our station’s collaboration with Lin Nuan’s agency this time around, we wouldn’t even get to see someone at Fu Huai’an’s level, much less eat at the same table!”

Chu Xun, who had walked past the smoking zone, retreated in her steps, supporting herself against the wall…

The two men who were smoking looked up and gazed at the entrance of the smoking zone. When they saw the pretty and capable-looking woman, who was wearing a champagne-colored tight skirt, had shoulder-length hair, and held a dark purple coat in her hands, standing shakily, the two of them paused in surprise and looked at each other.

“Ah…” One of the men recognized Chu Xun and hurriedly stood up. “President Chu!”

The other put out his cigarette and stood up too, fanning away the white smoke by his lips with a hand. “President Chu?”

“President Chu of Haicheng TV Station!” explained the man who recognized Chu Xun. He smiled and asked Chu Xun, “Is President Chu going to smoke?”

That man then helpfully picked up his cigarette box and was about to open it to hand Chu Xun one…

“Is Huai’an here?” Chu Xun raised her head and asked.

The man handing Chu Xun a cigarette stopped his hand in mid-air, nodding. “Eating hotpot with us!”

Chu Xun was the precious daughter of the Chu family, and the Chu Group had collaborated with the Kaide Corporation on many occasions, so it was perfectly normal for Chu Xun to be acquainted with Fu Huai’an!

Furthermore, Lin Nuan used to be a talk show host with Haicheng TV Station, and Chu Xun was considered Lin Nuan’s superior, so these two answered Chu Xun’s question without giving it much thought.

“Where’s the suite?” asked Chu Xun.

The man who was about to hand Chu Xun a cigarette quickly retracted his hand and put away the pack of cigarettes. “I’ll take you there!”

“Thanks for the trouble…” Even though Chu Xun was so drunk that her head was unclear and her tongue was numb, she still managed to thank him.

The two men led the way, and because they were worried about Chu Xun, they constantly turned around to check on her. Noticing that Chu Xun was terribly drunk, one of them asked kindly, “President Chu, do you need me to support you?”

Chu Xun supported herself against the wall and waved her hand, frowning. “Lead the way!”

In the suite, Mu Taotao was particularly good at livening up the atmosphere. Even though Fu Huai’an, Lin Nuan, and Tuan Tuan didn’t participate, they could feel the joyous atmosphere.

Everyone had fun tonight. Even though they weren’t done drinking the opened bottles of wine, it was already late. Lin Nuan glanced at her phone and calculated that it was about time to go back and bathe Tuan Tuan before tucking him in.

Lin Nuan was afraid she might disrupt the atmosphere, so she whispered in Fu Huai’an’s ear with a hand over her mouth. “We need to leave. It’ll be Tuan Tuan’s bedtime soon.”

Fu Huai’an nodded.

Fang Yan turned her head and noticed that Lin Nuan had retrieved Tuan Tuan’s little coat. She asked, “Leaving?”

“En!” Lin Nuan nodded at Fang Yan. “Tuan Tuan needs to go to kindergarten tomorrow. He needs to go back and bathe then go to bed!”

Fang Yan, who was a mother herself, naturally wouldn’t stop her.

Someone who saw that Lin Nuan was bent over and putting on Tuan Tuan’s coat for him, hurriedly asked, “Ms. Lin Nuan, are you all leaving already? Stay a little longer!”

Without waiting for Lin Nuan to reply, Fang Yan answered for her, saying, “Nuan Nuan’s kid has to attend kindergarten tomorrow, so she needs to take the kid home to rest early! Don’t stop her. We’ll be collaborating with Jinjiang TV Station for many years, and there’ll be plenty of chances to eat together!”

Lin Nuan smiled as she grabbed Tuan Tuan’s scarf and put it on him. “Right! There will be plenty of chances in the future!”

Fu Huai’an was holding Lin Nuan’s coat in his hand. He put it over Lin Nuan, who was standing up, his actions perfectly natural, making the colleagues at Jinjiang TV Station at the round table look on with envy…

Someone boldly teased, “Aiyah! The internet has been saying that the two of you are a walking dog food dispenser. It seems like they were right!”

“Yes! Today at dinner… putting food on her plate, pouring soy milk for her, handing her a tissue… and all that, we’re dazed looking at you guys! Dispensing dog food in so many different ways!”

“Sister Nuan, are you and Mr. Fu deliberately filling us up with dog food in order to make us eat less hotpot so that you can save Mr. Fu some money? Hahaha…”

Everyone started joking about this, putting a smile on Lin Nuan’s face.

After Lin Nuan put on her coat, she pulled her long hair out from within, not blushing from everyone’s teasing. She picked up her bag and said graciously, “Eat slowly, everyone. I have no choice but to leave because the child needs to attend kindergarten tomorrow and has to go to sleep early. If there’s not enough food, please don’t stand on ceremony and order more. If everyone is in the mood for more activities after dinner, just get Sister Yan to make arrangements…”

Lin Nuan originally wanted to hand Fang Yan a credit card to settle the bill later, but Fang Yan said that she would keep the receipt and have Little Lu reimburse her later on. Seeing Fu Huai’an nod, Lin Nuan put away the card.

“Then we’ll get going first!” Lin Nuan smiled, holding Tuan Tuan’s hand in hers.

Fu Huai’an reached over for his own coat and walked in front.

Before the family of three could reach the door, the door to the suite was opened. Two staff members of Jinjiang TV Station walked in from outside, and a shaky Chu Xun was standing at the door, supporting herself by holding onto the door frame…

Lin Nuan saw that Chu Xun had cut her hair. Together with the maple-red lipstick, her new style suited her very well.

Chu Xun was clearly drunk. Lin Nuan bent over and lifted Tuan Tuan up into her arms, staring at Chu Xun with her brows tightly knit…

Fang Yan, who was standing beside Lin Nuan and prepared to send Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an off, frowned. She more or less knew about Chu Xun’s intentions towards Fu Huai’an. With Chu Xun standing there drunk, Fang Yan feared that some trouble might arise.

Fang Yan smiled and said, “Why did President Chu come over here?”

“We met President Chu in the smoking zone earlier, and she said she wanted to come here to look for…”

Before the man could finish his words, they heard Chu Xun exclaim, “Huai’an!”

The man smiled awkwardly. “To look for President Fu…”

Fu Huai’an, who had just put on his coat, fixed his collar. They then saw Chu Xun walk towards Fu Huai’an. Her dark purple fur coat had fallen to the ground, and she reached out her slender arms to try and hug Fu Huai’an around his waist.

Fu Huai’an retreated a step, emotionless. Chu Xun didn’t even get to touch the corner of Fu Huai’an’s clothes. She couldn’t keep herself steady and very nearly fell. If not for the support of a nearby Jinjiang TV Station staff member, Chu Xun would have surely suffered an ugly fall.

Chu Xun’s abnormal actions caused the tipsy people at the table to sober up greatly. They stared at each other. There was an inside story to this! They sniffed the strong scent of gossip of wealthy families’ love relationships!

“Did Miss Chu drink too much?” Fu Huai’an’s voice was calm, magnetic, and cold.

Chu Xun, who didn’t manage to hug Fu Huai’an by his waist, had the aggrievedness accumulated in her heart magnified many-fold under the effects of the alcohol. “How am I inferior to Lin Nuan, for you to have chosen her?”

Everyone present stared at Chu Xun, Lin Nuan, and Fu Huai’an with their eyes wide open…

The corners of Mu Taotao’s lips turned up. She was seated opposite of Chu Xun, and she whipped out her phone and started filming the scene before her. She used a teacup to support her phone, then adjusted the angle properly and prepared to look up and watch a good show.

Some people saw that Mu Taotao was filming with her phone and likewise took out theirs to do the same.

That staff member of Jinjiang TV Station was trying to hold Chu Xun steady while not daring to go too near for fear of overstepping the boundaries between a man and a woman, resulting in their actions appearing awkward and difficult. Seeing this, Fang Yan sighed.

“President Chu seems pretty drunk!” Fang Yan smiled and walked towards Chu Xun. “President Chu, let me accompany you to sober up!”

Fang Yan had just tried to support Chu Xun when the latter yanked her arm away from her. “Don’t touch me!”

Chu Xun stood up by supporting herself against the table, still shaky…

Fang Yan’s arm, which was knocked away, hit a glass cup on the table, and the beverage within spilled onto the man supporting Chu Xun. Fang Yan pursed her lips at the man who had stepped forward, frowning.

“Papa!” Tuan Tuan reached out for a hug from Fu Huai’an, a little frightened.

Fu Huai’an took Tuan Tuan from Lin Nuan’s arms, his large hand holding Lin Nuan’s petite one.

“I, Chu Xun, the Second Missy of Haixing Corporation, have looks that aren’t inferior to Lin Nuan’s! My family background… is also many times better than this fake missy of the Lin family. My father even personally went to look for you, saying that so long as we got married, the Haixing Corporation would be yours in the future! Why do you insist on choosing her and not me!”

Chu Xun pointed a slim and long finger at Lin Nuan as she looked at her.

Lin Nuan was standing by Fu Huai’an’s side with a faint smile in her eyes, not at all angry…

This made Chu Xun feel as though Lin Nuan was ridiculing her, ridiculing her for her inability to obtain Fu Huai’an’s love!

The people in the suite were speaking to each other in hushed whispers. In order to be with Lin Nuan, Fu Huai’an had even given up the rights to the Haixing Corporation!

That was the Haixing Corporation!

“Chu Xun, you’re drunk! You’d better go out and sober up…” There wasn’t a trace of concern in Fu Huai’an’s eyes as he called her name and reminded her not to lose it.

It wasn’t as if Fu Huai’an didn’t know that there were people secretly filming. He didn’t stop them from doing so because he didn’t have anything to hide about his relationship with Chu Xun.

“I’m not drunk! I’ve never been so sober! My sober mind is filled entirely with you!” Chu Xun’s eyes were watery, the corners of her lips turned up in a self-mocking smile. Her vision swept over Lin Nuan, then back to Fu Huai’an. “I’ve liked you for so many years. Grandma Fu and our families agreed on it… that you will marry me in the future! We have a marriage agreement! All these years… I have been preparing myself to marry you! I’ve been feeling so happy about this for years… and it turned out to be for naught! Tell me why!”

“President Chu, you speak funnily. Since you have agreed on this with Grandma Fu, then go ahead and marry Grandma Fu!” A tickled Mu Taotao chuckled out loud and spoke up.

Fang Yan looked towards Mu Taotao, growing more fond of the girl now.

“Huai’an and I… what does the matter between the two of us have to do with you? What thing are you? Who are you to speak up on this matter?” Chu Xun glared at Mu Taotao, clearly furious.

Mu Taotao chuckled. “President Chu, look at what you’re saying. What thing am I? Of course, I’m the same kind of thing as President Chu. Sister Nuan and Mr. Fu are a married couple, and only the two of them can call themselves ‘the two of us’! You and Mr. Fu… you can only call it ‘you and Mr. Fu.’ Who gave you the guts to so shamelessly say ‘the two of us’ in the presence of someone’s wife?”

“You…” Chu Xun shakily reached out for a beer bottle.

The Jinjiang TV Station staff hurriedly moved the beer bottles away from her. “President Chu! President Chu! Speak nicely…”

Before Chu Xun could grab a beer bottle, she fell down, sitting in a chair shakily.

“Let’s take the opportunity to talk it out since Xiao Nuan is around today. All these years, the number of times we met is countable with one hand, and we’ve never met one-on-one before. I’m not sure how Miss Chu came to the conclusion that you and I have a so-called marriage agreement!”

Chu Xun sat in the chair and looked up to gaze at Fu Huai’an. He was standing under the warm lighting in the suite, wearing a light gray shirt, a knitted coat, and carrying Tuan Tuan in his arms.

He spoke the harshest words with his voice that caused one’s heart to throb. Chu Xun was so crushed by his words that she didn’t know how to rebut him.

“All these years, even if gossip about me flew everywhere, about Miss Gu Hanyan and me, there were never rumors about me and you, Miss Chu…”

Chu Xun’s tears flooded down her cheeks as she looked up at Fu Huai’an. “You do like me! If there was no Lin Nuan, you would marry me!”

“Xiao Nuan and I met way before you and I did, so this possibility doesn’t exist. Even if Xiao Nuan hadn’t agreed to my courtship back then…” Fu Huai’an gripped Lin Nuan’s petite hand tightly, a smile forming on his lips. “The position of Mrs. Fu belongs to no one other than her!”

Lin Nuan subconsciously held Fu Huai’an’s large hand tightly, not saying a word the entire time.

Fu Huai’an’s words denied Chu Xun the courage to even open her mouth…

So what he was saying was, it had been her wishful thinking all along!

Chu Xun, plus a Haixing Corporation, didn’t weigh as much as Lin Nuan in Fu Huai’an’s heart!

“If there are no other matters, Miss Chu, we’ll get going first…” Fu Huai’an walked past Chu Xun, carrying Tuan Tuan in one hand and holding Lin Nuan’s hand in the other. Chu Xun was on the brink of breaking down.

Fang Yan took a deep look at Chu Xun, then went after Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan to send them off.

After Chu Xun kicked up this fuss, although everyone got to hear some gossip, they were no longer in the mood to continue drinking and joke around.

Mu Taotao picked up her phone and unlocked it, then picked up her coat to wear it. With a smile, she said, “Show’s over! I need to get home early to catch some beauty sleep!”

The sound of chairs scraping against the floor could be heard. When the life of the party, Mu Taotao, said she wanted to leave, the others got up too. They put on their coats, then picked up their bags and said they were leaving too.

Very quickly, Chu Xun was the only one left at the uncleared round table. Differing from the steaming hotpot earlier on, unfinished vegetables had now floated to the surface, together with a layer of hot oil, appearing cold and cheerless.
