Lin Nuan's wrist was held in a forceful grip by Fang Yan. She retreated a step as a silver sedan scraped against Lin Nuan's bag as it drove past at high speed.
Fang Yan was still in a state of shock. She maintained the forceful grip on Lin Nuan's wrist, frowning as she stared at the car."Driving so fast in an underground parking lot! Rushing to get reincarnated?"
Just then, a tall and thin figure emerged from seemingly nowhere, violently yanking Fang Yan's arm away from Lin Nuan's wrist and shoving Fang Yan aside.
Fang Yan was caught off guard, her lower back knocking against the rearview mirror on someone else's car, causing her to cry out in pain.
"Fu Tianci! What are you doing!"
After realizing who it was, Lin Nuan's brows furrowed as she went over to support Fang Yan, but she was held back by the wrist by Fu Tianci...
Fu Tianci grabbed Lin Nuan's arm, pulling her behind him, making a move to shield her. Lin Nuan, who was in high heels, nearly lost her balance and fell.
Taking advantage of the fact that he was tall, Fu Tianci went up and grabbed Fang Yan by the collar, pinning her to the car."Are you a dumb*ss! Fancy seducing a married woman in broad daylight!"
The two bodyguards had been following Fu Tianci, one standing on each side on him. It did have a rather intimidating visual effect.
Fu Tianci was infuriated; he raised a hand and was about a deliver a punch to Fang Yan's face. Lin Nuan widened her eyes in shock and quickly ran up to push Fu Tianci away. Fu Tianci refused to comply and even wanted to pounce on Fang Yan, scolding, "People like you should have your entire family die! Give birth to a son without an a**hole! How did your mother give birth to something like you! Hurry, scoot home to lick yourself, mother-f*cker..."
Lin Nuan gave him a slap across the face.
This kid went overboard!
Fu Tianci held a hand to his face and stared at Lin Nuan with his eyes wide open, seemingly unable to believe she would actually hit him.
Lin Nuan didn't put much force into the slap, but Fu Tianci's eyes had reddened from it.
Lin Nuan was so mad she was shaking all over."Fu Tianci, have you gone crazy? Has your mouth been smeared with poison? You were so vicious with your words! Who taught you to get physical the minute you charge up to someone? You're a grown person now... where have all the courtesy and manners you displayed on tv gone?"
Fu Tianci stiffened his neck and didn't reply, glowering ferociously at Fang Yan.
Fang Yan straightened her body, one hand supporting her waist and the other fixing the rearview mirror that she had knocked out of place.
Lin Nuan turned around and apologized to Fang Yan, a truly sorry look on her face."Apologies, Ms. Fang, this kid has been spoiled rotten. Are you ok?"
Hearing Lin Nuan's words of apology, Fang Yan knew this kid was likely related to her. With a hand supporting her waist, Fang Yan took another serious look. This kid... wasn't he that Lu Tianyu, whose Weibo name was King of Haicheng?
Fu Tianci heard Lin Nuan apologize to the wild man and could no longer care about the fact that he was just slapped by Lin Nuan. He reached out to grab Lin Nuan's arm.
Lin Nuan forcefully retracted her arm from Fu Tianci's touch and glared at him.
"Lin Nuan! Is your brain overtaken by spasms! You're protecting this wild man? And hitting me because of this wild man!" Fu Tianci pointed at Fang Yan, looking furious."If Fu Huai'an discovered your affair with this wild man, never mind that he would sweep you out of the house, you'd be reduced to a street rat, scorned by everyone in Haicheng in the future! A clandestine love affair gives you a moment of pleasure, but also a lifetime of regret! This has been verified to be true by so many before you, are you that eager to become one of them?"
Lin Nuan turned around to glower at Fu Tianci. Facing his pale and handsome face, plus those clean and clear eyes that were evidently worried for her, Lin Nuan swallowed down those harsh words that had very nearly made their way out of her mouth...
Fang Yan, though, laughed the minute she heard this. She massaged her waist."This kid is interesting! You're worried about Lin Nuan alright, but which eye of yours told you I was a man? Which eye of yours saw us engaged in a clandestine love affair?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Tianci's tightened face looked confused.
After all, Fu Tianci was acting like this out of concern for Lin Nuan. She let out a long exhale and said to Fu Tianci, "This is Ms. Fang Yan, my manager. She's a woman..."
Fu Tianci's ears turned red instantly, feeling so awkward he was at a loss as to how to react. He could only put on a straight face and stick his hands into his pockets, coldly sizing up Fang Yan."Who told you to dress up neither like a man nor like a woman? Who could tell you're a woman!"
Then, Fu Tianci just turned and left...
"Fu Tianci!" Lin Nuan called out sternly. But because she felt guilty after slapping Fu Tianci just now, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.
Fu Tianci was, after all, not her child. Strictly speaking, based on seniority, Lin Nuan was even supposed to address him as Uncle, just like Fu Huai'an was supposed to.
Watching the devil-may-care Fu Tianci walk into the elevator, whistling as the door to the elevator closed, Lin Nuan turned her head and apologized to Fang Yan, "Apologies, Ms. Fang, this kid..."
Fang Yan waved her hand to indicate that she didn't take it to heart. Last time, Lin Nuan had already explained to Fang Yan the relationship between Fu Tianci and Fu Huai'an, so Fang Yan understood.
As they walked to the elevator together, Fang Yan said, "This kid is truly interesting. Based on blood relations and seniority, if this kid really thought I was your lover, shouldn't he be questioning you from your husband's standpoint? How come it sounded to me... that he was worried you might be led astray and discovered by your husband?"
Lin Nuan pressed the button to the elevator and suddenly recalled the nonsensical monologue by Fu Tianci last night.
Add to that Fu Tianci's pale and anxious little face, and Lin Nuan felt her heart ease a little.
Her mind constantly replayed the image of Fu Tianci holding a hand up to his face, a shocked and astounded look in his eyes as he stared at her. Lin Nuan lowered her gaze.
She then recalled having added Fu Tianci's WeChat previously. Lin Nuan took out her phone, wanting to send a message to Fu Tianci... but she didn't know where to start.
Fu Tianci didn't have a bad nature; it was just that the kid had an unforgiving tongue and sometimes spoke too viciously and harshly.
"Ding—"
The elevator was here. Ultimately, Lin Nuan didn't send anything and simply put away her phone.
...
By the time Lin Nuan and Fang Yan exited from the AG Company, it was already noon.
Fang Yan had wanted to send Lin Nuan back initially, but Lin Nuan had suggested instead, "Ms. Fang, let's have lunch together!"
Fu Tianci had hit Fang Yan earlier, so Lin Nuan had to apologize to Fang Yan properly on behalf of Fu Tianci.
"Ok, now that we've finalized the shooting time of the commercial, we ought to celebrate!"
Fang Yan was the one who picked the restaurant. After checking with Lin Nuan about whether she ate spicy food, she chose a rather famous Szechuan cuisine restaurant.
Coincidentally, it was in a building just 300 or so meters away from the Kaide Corporation.
Fang Yan's waist was knocked against something earlier, so after they entered the suite, Lin Nuan asked the waiter to bring a cushion for Fang Yan to lean against. She then said, "Ms. Fang, I'm really sorry about what happened earlier..."
Fang Yan took a teacup and poured Lin Nuan some tea, chuckling as she pushed the teacup to Lin Nuan."How many times do you intend to apologize?"
Lin Nuan laughed and knew that Fang Yan meant she didn't take it to heart. She silently heaved a sigh of relief, genuinely feeling that Fang Yan was a magnanimous person...
