Gazing at Fu Huai'an's tall and broad figure, the corners of Chu Xun's eyes turned moist.
She had always known that Fu Huai'an was heartless towards women who had designs on him. Once upon a time, she had felt glad about this.
But now, when this heartlessness was applied to her, Chu Xun only felt as if a knife was piercing her heart. It hurt so much that her body couldn't take it. She supported her limp body against the wall, feeling like she would collapse to the ground otherwise.
Taking another look at the intoxicated Lin Nuan in Fu Huai'an's arms, no matter how Chu Xun looked at it, she felt that Lin Nuan was putting on a demonstration against her! Mocking her! Ridiculing her!
Having suffered a huge blow to her pride, Chu Xun fought back the urge to cry. She kept swallowing down her saliva in an attempt to soothe the painful sensation in her throat as she opened her mouth again...
Lin Nuan's mind had begun blanking out due to the effects of the alcohol, and she was displaying the unhappiness she felt in her heart on her face.
How dare Chu Xun brazenly speak of that incident where she had stripped naked and tried to seduce her husband? Did she regard Lin Nuan as a dead person?
But Fu Huai'an's performance was considered satisfactory to Lin Nuan. She didn't wish to waste her breath with Chu Xun, so she simply looked up at Fu Huai'an and said, "I'm tired..."
"Anything else?" Fu Huai'an gently stroked Lin Nuan's arm to soothe her, his attitude towards Chu Xun bland.
Chu Xun shook her head, then feigned calmness with a smile as she stuffed both hands into the pockets of her knitted cardigan and grasped the phone inside."Sorry to have disturbed you!"
Chu Xun turned around and was prepared to leave when she saw Lu Jinnan pushing Bai Xiaonian towards Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an's suite.
"Yo, President Chu!" Bai Xiaonian didn't bother hiding the fact that she was sizing up Chu Xun, even laughing faintly."I didn't expect President Chu to to change her style into something like this suddenly! From the back view, I thought it was our Nuan Nuan! I was about to berate her for revealing her ankles like this for vanity's sake on such a cold day! Who knew that it turned out to be President Chu! I nearly scolded the wrong person!"
Chu Xun's expression turned even darker because of Bai Xiaonian's words.
Bai Xiaonian was implying that Chu Xun was imitating Lin Nuan's appearance.
"Such a style is pretty common. Surely Miss Bai wouldn't mistake every girl who dresses like this as your best friend!" Chu Xun retorted with a dark face.
Chu Xun was in a rotten mood and didn't even give face to Lu Jinnan, directly clashing with Bai Xiaonian.
"Of course I wouldn't mistake other people for her, but President Chu is way too similar to our Nuan Nuan. Such as the back view, as well as the taste in men! Except, President Chu... your style has always given off the vibe of a capable woman, so why did you suddenly change it? Or rather, why did you suddenly change into Nuan Nuan's style?"
Bai Xiaonian sized Chu Xun up once more as she sneered."For President Chu to come dressed like this to look for Nuan Nuan and her husband, other people can't help but think that President Chu is trying to imitate our Nuan Nuan in order to grab her husband's attention. Or perhaps, you're here to test if Nuan Nuan's husband likes Nuan Nuan or merely this type of girl!"
Bai Xiaonian openly exposed her, hiding nothing.
Even Lu Jinnan felt embarrassed for Chu Xun!
Lu Jinnan's mouth was wicked enough, but looking at his lover, he felt that he had to concede defeat to her.
Bai Xiaonian's body leaned to the right, with her right elbow on the armrest of the wheelchair. Her ravishing facial features carried a hint of a smile, but that smile was only on the surface, making her look bewitching.
"Miss Bai, do not judge others by yourself!" Chu Xun clenched her hands tightly. She only managed this comeback after a good while.
Bai Xiaonian chortled, her relaxed expression contrasting Chu Xun's stern one."President Chu, just take it as me judging others by myself! So long as you're happy..."
Lu Jinnan was speechless.
His lover's mouth was scarier than his!
Chu Xun felt so awkward that she almost couldn't hold her footing. She ended up fleeing with a panicked heart.
"Aren't you afraid Chu Xun will pick on you when you return to the TV station? That's your president, your top boss..." Lu Jinnan sounded helpless.
"By the time I recuperate, she'll no longer be my top boss. I've got to make use of this opportunity to rebut her..."
Supper hung by Bai Xiaonian's wheelchair wheels. Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan had accidentally chanced upon these seafood noodles when they were out. Bai Xiaonian thought they tasted rather good, so she insisted on buying Lin Nuan a packet for dinner.
Bai Xiaonian looked at the giggly Lin Nuan in Fu Huai'an's arms and sighed."Looking at Nuan Nuan's silly expression, she's had too much to drink, eh?"
Lin Nuan rarely got drunk like this. She was a person with self-restraint and wouldn't allow herself to indulge in alcohol, no matter if she was sad or happy. She only drank so much today because the fruit wine tasted too much like a sweet beverage.
Bai Xiaonian was reassured about the way Lin Nuan behaved when she was drunk.
When this child drank more, she liked to giggle. As for Bai Xiaonian... she transformed into a lustful demon when she had too much to drink.
Fu Huai'an supported Lin Nuan with one hand and opened the door with the other."She did drink a little too much."
After Lu Jinnan handed the supper to Fu Huai'an, him and Bai Xiaonian didn't hinder them from resting, going back to their own room.
After entering the room, Fu Huai'an held the supper in one hand and supported Lin Nuan with the other. As for the file from Old Madam Fu, he held it under his armpit as he kicked the door shut with his leg.
They walked to the sofa, and Fu Huai'an set the supper Bai Xiaonian brought on the coffee table. He then helped Lin Nuan sit down, letting her rest against the back of the sofa. He removed his suit jacket and tossed it aside, then unbuttoned his shirt and said, "I'll bring you a cup of hot water. Be good and sit here."
Lin Nuan nodded at Fu Huai'an seriously, her slow expression a little adorable.
Fu Huai'an smiled at such an obedient Lin Nuan.
When Fu Huai'an came back with a cup of hot water, Lin Nuan was holding the file Old Madam Fu gave to him, but she had yet to open it.
"Drink some hot water..." Fu Huai'an sat on the coffee table and handed Lin Nuan the cup of warm water. On second thought, fearing that Lin Nuan's hands weren't steady enough to hold it, he directly held the water to her mouth.
Lin Nuan's petite hand grabbed Fu Huai'an's firm wrist as she took a sip. She then looked up at Fu Huai'an, whose long legs couldn't even extend between the coffee table and the sofa."Say, why are you so likable?"
Fu Huai'an gazed at the drunk Lin Nuan and didn't say anything as he held the water to her lips again. Lin Nuan obediently lowered her head and took another sip, then raised her head at Fu Huai'an as she said, "So many people come and try to snatch you from me. So annoying!"
"I'm not a casual person. It's not like anyone who wishes to snatch me away could succeed in doing so!" Fu Huai'an then held the water to Lin Nuan's lips again."Take a sip!"
The drunk Lin Nuan was even more obedient than Tuan Tuan. She delicately took a small sip, then looked up at Fu Huai'an with those bright and sparkly eyes of hers, smiling."Right! You're not a thing..."
