Lu Jinnan, who was biting onto a cigarette and flipping through the doc.u.ments, raised his head. He saw Fu Huai"an take a sip of tea, put down the teacup, pick up his suit, and then walk toward Lin Nuan. Fu Huai"an was clearly not intending to discuss it with him and was bent on leaving.
Lu Jinnan didn"t know what to say…
Did the current Fu Huai"an love his beauty over his kingdom? Was it to the point that he didn"t plan to care about the matters in the company?
So what if he had a wife? Was it because he was single that all the work could be pushed to him?
He saw Fu Huai"an walk up to Lin Nuan. He rested the hand that was holding his suit against the chair"s backrest, with the other being placed on the desk. His gaze looked toward the screen that Lin Nuan was looking at. Seeing this, Lu Jinnan couldn"t help but think of Bai Xiaonian, feeling bitter.
Fu Huai"an"s gaze stared at the computer screen. "Do you plan on taking on a movie?"
Fu Huai"an"s voice suddenly rang out next to Lin Nuan"s ear, giving her a fright. Her soft lips, which had a maple red-colored lipstick on them, knocked against Fu Huai"an"s thin and pursed lips.
Lu Jinnan saw this and coughed awkwardly, turning his head back and reaching for his teacup. The ashes of the cigarette he was biting fell onto the crotch area of his trousers, giving him such a scare that he bounced up from the sofa and tried to pat off the spark-filled ashes.
Lin Nuan"s ears, face, and neck all turned very red. When she heard Lu Jinnan acting all anxious, even knocking over the tea on the coffee table, she felt even more awkward, wanting to find a hole to hide in.
It was an accident, but Lin Nuan"s reaction—her heart palpitating and her ears turning scorching hot—made it seem as if they were having an affair and were caught in the act.
Fu Huai"an maintained his action and didn"t move. He looked toward Lu Jinnan, who was standing between the sofa and the coffee table, and asked, "You"re still not leaving?"
Lu Jinnan was speechless.
Why didn"t he realize in the past that Fu Huai"an was someone like this?
This was neglecting everything else over love!
"It"s not appropriate for the chairman to not be around in a meeting with the higher management, is it?" Lu Jinnan bit onto the cigarette, picked up his suit, and hung it over his arm. He then s.h.i.+fted the cigarette away and asked his question.
The screen made Fu Huai"an"s deep facial features appear increasingly cold. Even though there was a hint of a smile in his pitch-black eyes under his deep eyelids, Lu Jinnan could tell that Fu Huai"an was chasing him off.
"You"re the Kaide Corporation"s president now. As long as it"s not a meeting with the board of directors, it doesn"t matter if I"m present or not. Work overtime tonight and get this matter settled."
"Work overtime tonight?" Lu Jinnan had an appointment and was a little hesitant. "Today, I…"
Lu Jinnan wanted to say something but was interrupted by Fu Huai"an. "A single man doesn"t have a date after work. What can you do except work overtime?"
Noticing that Fu Huai"an"s lips were stained with Lin Nuan"s lipstick, bachelor Lu Jinnan"s heart instantly shattered. He was a man with a wounded heart. Did Fu Huai"an have to scatter salt over his wound and torture him like this?
Lin Nuan lowered her flushed red face, trying to decrease her sense of presence.
Speechless, Lu Jinnan picked up the doc.u.ments and left Fu Huai"an"s office. He felt that Fu Huai"an and Lin Nuan were so lovey-dovey that it brought about strong indignation.
Lin Nuan only had the courage to raise her head when she heard the sound of the door closing. Her elbows were on the big desk, and as she turned, she intentionally pulled away from Fu Huai"an to avoid their lips touching. She said, her ears red, "It"s fine if you"re busy and have to attend the meeting. I can read the script in your office, wait for you to be done with your work, and then head back home together."
Lin Nuan seemed to be reserved in her words, and the warm air she breathed out brushed past Fu Huai"an"s lips. Fu Huai"an"s gaze unknowingly s.h.i.+fted onto Lin Nuan"s beautiful lips. "Lu Jinnan just fell out of love. If I don"t find him some work to tie him down in the office, he might drink himself silly when he goes back. It"s bad for the liver…"
Lin Nuan felt that what Fu Huai"an said made sense and thus nodded. She forced herself to ignore the lipstick stain on Fu Huai"an"s lips and lowered her thick eyelashes as she tried to hold back her laughter.
"It"s… bad for the kidneys to hold it in after ending a kiss before it even started!"
After Fu Huai"an said this, he lowered his head and kissed Lin Nuan"s lips.
Fu Huai"an"s lips were scorching hot…
There was no one left in the office. The familiar warmth after Fu Huai"an barged into her mouth melted Lin Nuan"s embarra.s.sed emotions. She couldn"t help but respond to him, her lips feeling sore and soft.
"Thud thud thud—"
Hearing the sound of knocking at the door, Lin Nuan was given a fright once again. She rapidly turned and stared at the computer screen, then anxiously reached her hand out to grab the mouse. However, she touched Fu Huai"an"s fingers that had distinct joints and were resting on the desk instead. Lin Nuan"s face heated up even more, and by the time she grabbed the mouse, she had turned extremely red.
She pretended to maintain her composure as she stared at the computer screen. However, who could she possibly fool with her blus.h.i.+ng and desirous appearance?
Little Lu opened the door and entered. He stood at the door, and when he saw Lin Nuan"s flushed appearance and the obvious lipstick stain on Fu Huai"an"s lips, Little Lu felt so awkward that his ears turned red as well. He wondered if he had entered at the wrong time and was stuttering a little when he spoke. "S… Sir, President Lu said… said that you were looking for me…"
Fu Huai"an knew that Lu Jinnan had done this intentionally and didn"t pay it any heed. He got up, drew a tissue, and slowly wiped away the lipstick on his lips. "Talk with President Lu"s a.s.sistant about handing over anything on the itinerary that President Lu can attend to on my behalf. Let him run around a bit more. It"s better than having nothing to do and simply heading home after he gets off work."
Little Lu knew of the matter between Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian. He thought that it was probably because Lu Jinnan"s heart would ache after he returned home and was alone by himself since he had just gone through a breakup.
This was especially so since Bai Xiaonian could be said to be in the limelight in the United States recently. Her sharp reb.u.t.tal made the White House press secretary of the United States speechless. The citizens in the United States and in their country all loved Bai Xiaonian dearly, and now, even Little Lu had become a fan of Bai Xiaonian.
Right now, news of Bai Xiaonian was all over the place. Lu Jinnan would probably only be able to not pay attention to Bai Xiaonian"s news by working. Only then would his heart not ache as much.
Little Lu nodded. "Sir, please be a.s.sured…"
Therefore, the kind-hearted Little Lu gave as many of the items on Fu Huai"an"s itinerary to Lu Jinnan as he could. This increased Lu Jinnan"s workload by many times over!
Lin Nuan"s lipstick was a little off as well, so she touched up her makeup in Fu Huai"an"s office before leaving the Kaide Corporation together with him.
Before they left, Fu Huai"an had Little Lu make a new booking for the movie tickets.
Lin Nuan had thought that they were going to watch a movie at a theater with other people. It was only upon arrival that she realized that it was a VVVIP screening hall, with reclining couches for two.
There were fruit platters and drinks placed neatly on both sides of the couch.
The VVVIP screening hall was the same size as the biggest screening hall in a theater. However, the number of audience members was a lot lower in comparison.
Lin Nuan had heard Bai Xiaonian mention such couple-centric VVVIP screening halls before. However, it was the first time she had entered one.
Bai Xiaonian said that in such a VVVIP screening hall, couples would lay down on the couches to watch the movie in the dark environment. Watching a romantic movie in such an environment, there would unavoidably be kissing and touching…
