“Brother Huai’an!”
The sharp Little Lu went up and reached out to block Chu Jiaoyang from pouncing onto Fu Huai’an.
“Miss Chu…” Little Lu smiled as he nodded at Chu Jiaoyang, appearing polite yet distant.
Chu Jiaoyang frantically wished to pounce upon Fu Huai’an, but she couldn’t manage to push Little Lu aside. She cried out in frustration, complaining to Fu Huai’an while stomping her feet. “Brother Huai’an, Lin Nuan, that bad woman, is stopping me from seeing you! She didn’t even tell me you weren’t around! I’ve been waiting at the door for about one and a half hours. She’s rotten to the core! She didn’t let me in even though I’m in high heels and my feet are aching from standing so long!”
The young lady then started crying, her tender and pet.i.te face flooded with tears. She was acting as if Lin Nuan was guilty of unpardonable evil.
Fu Huai’an’s expression was dark. The young lady leaned a hand against the wall as she removed one of her high heels and held it in the other hand. She then extended her fair and tender little foot for Fu Huai’an to see, revealing a visible patch of red.
Chu Jiaoyang cried aggrievedly. “Brother Huai’an, look, my foot is all red…”
In the past, at times like this, Chu Jiaoyang’s parents’ hearts would ache at such a sight, and they would concede to whatever request Chu Jiaoyang had, comforting her and calling her “baby”.
However, Fu Huai’an’s deep gaze merely stared into her eyes with coldness, not bothering to look at her foot once.
Chu Jiaoyang curled up her toes in embarra.s.sment, biting her lower lip as she shrunk her bare left foot behind the heel of her right foot.
Lu Jinnan sneered as he said to Fu Huai’an, “It’s not a good idea to create a scene outside, let’s talk inside…”
Just then, the door to the suite opened.
Chu Xun saw Lin Nuan, who had opened the door, the minute she turned her head. She felt somewhat displeased. After all, if it weren’t for Lin Nuan hiding in her room like a coward and refusing to open the door for Chu Jiaoyang, the latter wouldn’t have made things so ugly!
Fu Huai’an’s eyes met Lin Nuan’s, and with a smile in his eyes, he strode in Lin Nuan’s direction.
Chu Jiaoyang thought that Fu Huai’an was coming over to support her. She sniffled, and her tears fell even harder as she opened her mouth and called out, “Huai’an…”
Fu Huai’an brushed shoulders with Chu Jiaoyang, his expression unchanged as he continued walking in Lin Nuan’s direction. “Were you bothered by the noise?”
Lu Jinnan sighed and laughed as he shook his head, feeling that such a pretty little face was wasted on Chu Jiaoyang. His gaze swept to Chu Jiaoyang’s chest, feeling that she had perfectly interpreted what the phrase “busty women are brainless” meant!
Chu Xun was also rather pitiful; it must be really troubling to have a little cousin who had the direct effect of pulling down her score in Fu Huai’an’s heart, which was pathetically low to begin with.
“It was quite noisy indeed!” Lin Nuan smiled at Fu Huai’an, asking as if nothing had happened, “Where shall we go for lunch?”
“Brother Huai’an…” Chu Jiaoyang stamped her feet as she cried.
Lin Nuan glanced in Chu Jiaoyang’s direction, and Fu Huai’an’s gaze followed suit…
Chu Xun’s heart leaped, and she walked over and yanked Chu Jiaoyang’s arm. “Come back with me and stop making a fool of yourself here!”
“Brother Huai’an!” Chu Jiaoyang refused to leave, but she couldn’t get away from Chu Xun’s hold. Therefore, she could only gaze at Fu Huai’an and plead for help while struggling not to be dragged away.
“Chu Xun,” Fu Huai’an suddenly spoke. “We’re considered friends, but there are boundaries between friends. I hope you can keep your cousin in line and not bring unnecessary trouble to my wife and me.”
Chu Xun turned green and white from Fu Huai’an’s words, then nodded. “Sorry to have caused you trouble!”
No matter how stupid Chu Jiaoyang was, she could sense something wrong with these words. She stared at Fu Huai’an with those round and large eyes of hers and started crying immediately. “Brother Huai’an! I… I like you so much! I’ve never liked someone this much before. I don’t even mind that your rightful wife is Lin Nuan. I’m younger than her and come from a better family, I…”
“I mind!” Fu Huai’an was solemn and unsmiling. The intimidating aura he gave off was so powerful it made one unable to breathe. “I’m not your father, I’ve never intended to place two women by my side!”
“Why?” Chu Jiaoyang seemed perplexed. “Do you disdain the fact that I can’t get along with Lin Nuan? Or… do you feel that I’m not as pretty as Lin Nuan? How am I inferior to her? I’m younger… and more likable than her! If you just want one person, why can’t that person be me?”
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
Bai Xiaonian was about to burst into laughter. “Young lady, are you joking? Who gave you the courage to say that you’re more likable than Lin Nuan? Just because of that ‘little princess’ att.i.tude of yours, there are plenty of people who dislike you, so many people ahead of me!”
“I disdain those older than my wife, and I also disdain those younger than my wife…” Fu Huai’an gently held Lin Nuan’s pet.i.te hand, his deep eyes seeming to hold depthless love, baring his emotions as his gaze remained fixated on Lin Nuan. “My wife’s looks are the kind of looks I love most. I love her, so my only wife can only be her.”
Fu Huai’an gazed at Lin Nuan and took this chance to confess to her…
Lin Nuan felt an itchy sensation in her ears, but she managed to stop her ears from turning red.
Lin Nuan felt that she had been trained by Fu Huai’an, that her skin was growing thicker.
“Young lady, if you truly love a person, you won’t want to share! Therefore, so long as I’m the one standing next to Fu Huai’an, there can absolutely not be another person!” The corners of Lin Nuan’s lips turned up as she looked at Chu Jiaoyang, standing on the same front as Fu Huai’an. “At home, you’re used to being spoiled by everyone in your family. But, other than your parents, no one on this earth has an obligation to spoil you and give you everything you want! Especially men… My temper is considered good. If you had run into someone bad-tempered, I believe your face would be so scratched by now that you would be unable to face anyone!”
“That’s why I say that one can’t be too good-tempered!” Bai Xiaonian had come out in her wheelchair too. “In the future, if you meet the kind of person who goes after someone else’s man, you should just charge up and give her two slaps, then strip her naked and throw her out! I feel that you should beat her up and strip her naked before throwing her out to show others what a shameless person she is!”
Bai Xiaonian’s words were like a sharp knife that plunged straight into Chu Xun’s pride; when the knife was pulled out, some of her flesh was pulled out as well, making her feel immensely pained.
The color of blood had drained from Chu Xun’s face. It was as if everyone had found out about her stripping naked in front of Fu Huai’an. She felt like everyone was looking at her as if she was naked while she knew nothing about it, going in and out of Haicheng TV Station as if nothing had happened!
Perhaps… people were looking at her as if she was a monkey, and it was just that she herself wasn’t aware!
Chu Xun hated Lin Nuan to the core, yet she dared not look straight into her eyes. She merely used all of her strength to drag that nearly r.e.t.a.r.ded cousin of hers away.
Lu Jinnan proceeded to walk towards the entrance of the suite…
