Chapter 1249: The Public Admired Only Two People
In the parking lot, Tang Zheng’s nostrils flared as the car drove off, narrowing his eyes and mumbling softly, “Pregnant! Old Lu’s joyous occasion is near!”
Tang Zheng was truly happy for Lu Jinnan, whose efforts finally paid off after going through all those obstacles.
But when he thought of himself and You Nainai, whose relations.h.i.+p was still seemingly vague and hadn’t proceeded, Tang Zheng couldn’t help but feel vexed.
Hmm, aphrodisiac cigarette…
Tang Zheng’s eyes narrowed. But then he quickly dispelled the thought. He dared not use this thing on You Nainai, for he was certainly not her match!
Tang Zheng went straight up to Fu Huai’an’s office and asked the instant he opened the door, “Have you heard that Bai Xiaonian is pregnant?”
Fu Huai’an, who was reading the doc.u.ments with his head lowered, looked up and nodded with a smile. “Old Lu just left! When are you going to marry You Nainai?”
“Soon! Soon!” Tang Zheng answered somewhat sheepishly.
“I remember that you had a bet with Old Lu in the US, betting who was going to get married first. The stake seemed to be half your net worths!” Fu Huai’an signed the doc.u.ment with his head lowered. “Old Gu and I were the witnesses to your gamble.”
“Lu Jinnan cheated using a tool!” Tang Zheng couldn’t resist telling Fu Huai’an about the aphrodisiac cigarette. “If it weren’t for the aphrodisiac cigarette, he couldn’t have possibly won over Bai Xiaonian! Moreover… my child with Nainai is even in kindergarten already. They just managed to conceive their child. If you must declare a winner, I’m the winner!”
Fu Huai’an stared at Tang Zheng, a whatever-you-say look on his face.
Tang Zheng was speechless.
“I heard from Xiao Nuan that she gave You Nainai the day off today. Why don’t you take the day off as well to accompany You Nainai and your child?”
Tang Zheng didn’t reply. He pulled out the chair before Fu Huai’an’s large office desk, sat down, and started talking about serious business. “Thankfully, we were well prepared. After Li Muyang’s funeral, the successor we arranged in advance was found by the US government. The US government is getting their lawyer to persuade him to go back and inherit the De Niro family. Of course… they will state their own conditions!”
“None of that matters. We’ve already successfully handed the De Niro Company to Cen Mo. Cen Mo has more formidable means than we can imagine,” Fu Huai’an said.
“But, Li Muyang running away is a huge potential future trouble!” Tang Zheng frowned deeply. “Who could have thought that Ah Zhan would die in order to make this happen! So many men of sacrifice were hiding in the dark, and once they obtained news of Ah Zhan’s death, they quietly returned to Li Muyang’s side to protect him right away!”
“Ah Zhan was a loyal servant, using his own life to exchange for his master’s chance at rebirth!” Fu Huai’an closed the pen. “Everyone thinks that Li Muyang is already dead, so it’ll be difficult for Li Muyang to come back to life!”
Tang Zheng understood what Fu Huai’an meant, but he couldn’t help worrying. “Although it’s not easy for Li Muyang to come back to life… I’m worried about you and Lin Nuan! It’s not as if you don’t know how that lunatic Li Muyang feels about Lin Nuan! Moreover… his hatred towards you!”
“Don’t worry!” Fu Huai’an smiled at Tang Zheng. “Cen Mo has a.s.signed six teams to protect Xiao Nuan, so there’s an unbreakable barrier around her!”
Six teams!
Tang Zheng was truly surprised…
Someone once claimed that just two of their elite teams were comparable to the US atomic bomb, so just imagine having six teams protecting her!
They had only given Cen Mo ten teams!
Unexpectedly… Cen Mo sent out six teams to protect Lin Nuan!
It seemed like Cen Mo was really concerned about his younger sister.
“Don’t worry!” Fu Huai’an rea.s.sured Tang Zheng.
…
Lu Jinnan sped to the hospital. Before he got out of his car, he saw Lin Nuan accompanying Bai Xiaonian and coming down the stairs.
He pushed open the car door and didn’t even bother locking the car before racing to Bai Xiaonian.
Seeing Lu Jinnan coming from a distance, Bai Xiaonian’s heart rose high up.
“Lu Jinnan is here…” Lin Nuan said softly.
Bai Xiaonian clutched the straps of her bag, gazing at the approaching man. Seeing him appear before her panting heavily, Bai Xiaonian’s heart was overwhelmed by a sour sensation.
Lu Jinnan, who was huffing and puffing at the foot of the stairs, gazed at Bai Xiaonian with reddened eyes.
Bai Xiaonian restrained the joy in her heart, curling her lips and saying to Lu Jinnan in a raspy voice, “Our child has returned!”
Lu Jinnan nodded. He was choked and unable to utter a single word as he remained rooted to the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Nuan said to Lu Jinnan, “I have plans in the afternoon, so you take Xiaonian back and take good care of her!”
Lu Jinnan then walked towards Bai Xiaonian, grabbing her hands and thanking Lin Nuan. “Thanks for coming to the hospital with Xiaonian today!”
“Xiaonian is my best friend, so it’s only right that I accompany her. No need to thank me! You’re being too polite…”
Lin Nuan knew that the conflict between Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian had, because of the return of their child, dissipated.
Lin Nuan had to start preparing the red packet!
Bai Xiaonian’s road to romance had been rocky and difficult, so Lin Nuan had to give her a bigger red packet to ward off the bad luck for them!
“Where are you heading to? I’ll give you a lift?” Supporting Bai Xiaonian as she walked, Lu Jinnan didn’t forget about Lin Nuan.
“I drove here!” Lin Nuan said.
Lu Jinnan nodded, then left with Bai Xiaonian…
After watching Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian leave, Lin Nuan called Fu Huai’an.
“I had made a date with Xiaonian to watch a movie in the afternoon, but Xiaonian has been fetched away by Lu Jinnan… I have an extra ticket now. I wonder if Mr. Fu is free at 1:50 pm to watch a movie with me?”
Lin Nuan pulled open the car door to the driver’s seat and entered the car.
“Mrs. Fu, you’re late by several minutes. Old Lu applied for leave, and several minutes ago, I asked Tang Zheng to take the day off to accompany You Nainai and the child. Little Lu just piled a ton of work before me!” Fu Huai’an said with a smile.
Lin Nuan fastened her seatbelt and grazed her fingers on the steering wheel for several seconds, hesitating about whether or not she should return home to accompany her child or go accompany her husband. Finally, she said, “Then, if it’s not inconvenient for Mr. Fu, I’ll pay you a visit?”
“You’re welcome to!”
Lin Nuan beamed. It was rare for her to have a day off and not have to go to set. It had also been a long time since she spent time alone with Fu Huai’an. Since she had nothing planned that day, she would accompany Fu Huai’an at his office!
On the way there, Lin Nuan bought fruits. When she reached Fu Huai’an’s office, she didn’t disturb Fu Huai’an while he was working. She washed the fruits in the pantry, then took them to Fu Huai’an before sitting on the sofa and reading the reviews of “The General”.
Things exploded in the chairman’s secretary’s office. They all raved about how pretty and virtuous their lady boss was!
In order to pursue her Prince Charming, the rich Su Manman had generously booked an entire theater and distributed the movie tickets to s.h.i.+ Hanchu’s fan club so that they could support s.h.i.+ Hanchu’s movie.
When it came to pursuing one’s beloved, the public admired only two people—one was Su Manman, and the other was Yun Liuli.
