Chapter 375: Don’t Look So Pleased With Yourself!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After he found out about Lin Nuan’s past and how she had rescued Tuan Tuan, Lu Jinnan had admittedly changed his mind about Lin Nuan.
But he couldn’t get himself to change the way he spoke to her, so his apology seemed tainted with sarcasm.
“It’s alright…” Lin Nuan wasn’t miffed, and she replied politely. “Mr. Lu, please don’t worry, I don’t mind…”
Lu Jinnan wasn’t someone Lin Nuan cared about, and she was indifferent about his att.i.tude towards her.
Furthermore, Lu Jinnan had offered Lin Nuan a sum of money yesterday, hoping that she would agree to be Fu Huai’an’s kept mistress and give up the idea of becoming Fu Huai’an’s wife. It was like a slap in the face for Lu Jinnan later when Fu Huai’an brought Lin Nuan to their gathering and officially announced that she was his wife.
Although it might seem immature, Lin Nuan had to admit that at that moment, she was gloating inside.
“Lin Nuan…”
Lin Nuan interrupted before Lu Jinnan could finish his sentence. “I’m sorry, Mr. Lu, I’m busy here. I have to go now. Bye!”
After she ended the call, Lin Nuan felt her muddled thoughts clearing up.
Lin Nuan stared at the screen of her phone, and she realized that she had to face the facts of Lu Jinnan’s words.
Lin Nuan definitely didn’t want Fu Huai’an to become the topic of conversation among the upper cla.s.s.
She suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to send Fu Huai’an a message to inform him when she would be done with her work. Lin Nuan hurriedly sent him a message to let him know that she was ready to leave.
In no time, Fu Huai’an called. “Are you free this afternoon?”
“Yes, I’m available!” Lin Nuan glanced in the direction of Liu Mingchen. To her surprise, she saw that Bai Xiaonian was bare-faced, had already changed out of her outfit, and was walking towards her. Lin Nuan added, “If there’s nothing going on, I would like to visit Bai Xiaonian’s father in the afternoon.”
“Okay, go ahead! I may be back late tonight, so you can turn in first, you don’t have to wait up for me…” Fu Huai’an urged.
“Okay, don’t drink too much!”
After she ended the call, Lin Nuan gestured towards Bai Xiaonian to wait for her. She turned towards Liu Mingchen. “I will give you a treat next time, okay?”
It wasn’t that Lin Nuan was trying to avoid having a meal with Liu Mingchen. She said candidly, “As I’ve mentioned on the show, my friend’s father has cancer. This episode just strikes close to home, and I feel like I need to visit him now.”
Liu Mingchen nodded understandingly. “Sure, another day then!”
After removing her makeup, Bai Xiaonian saw in her morning news WeChat group chat that Lin Nuan was recording a program with Liu Mingchen today. She had come over to take a look and say h.e.l.lo. Upon hearing that Lin Nuan wanted to visit her father, she decided to tag along with Lin Nuan to the dressing room to wait for her to remove her makeup and change her outfit.
The two of them decided to have lunch before visiting Bai Xiaonian’s father.
“Everyone in the company’s WeChat group is talking about how resourceful you are. You know Wen Moshen and even a n.o.bel Prize winner. Superstars like Su Manman and s.h.i.+ Hanchu have been on your show, and they’ve also shown their support for you publicly when you were in trouble recently!”
Bai Xiaonian leaned against the dressing table with her arms crossed, smiling as she watched Lin Nuan remove her false eyelashes.
“I guess I really am resourceful…” Lin Nuan chuckled.
“Don’t look so pleased with yourself!” Bai Xiaonian turned serious and inched closer. “I forgot to ask you, how’s married life? How are things… in the bedroom?”
