Lu Qingmei even broke the long and clear nails she had grown out over a long time.

The comparison between Lu Qingmei and Fu Cheng was stark, even without the fact that Fu Cheng had produced results for the Kaide Corporation in the past!

Just talking about now, Fu Cheng’s appearance gave off the mature and steady vibe of being able to defeat all difficulties. Lu Qingmei, who had worked in the corporate world before, knew that men had an advantage in work compared to women, so the upper management level naturally believed in Fu Cheng more than Lu Qingmei.

After Fu Huai’an left, along came Fu Cheng. Lu Qingmei panicked, uncertain if the Kaide Corporation would land in the hands of her and her son.

The only way she could deal with Fu Cheng was to make use of Fu Qingquan’s suspicious nature. Based on Lu Qingmei’s understanding of Fu Qingquan, only when he had suspicions towards Fu Cheng’s intentions would Lu Qingmei get the chance to continue staying on at the Kaide Corporation to restrict Fu Cheng.

Lin Nuan returned to the bedroom to rest after taking her medicine, while Fu Huai’an received a call from Gu Qingcheng and went into the living room to pick up the call.

Because of Lin Nuan’s abduction incident, Fu Huai’an couldn’t put his heart at ease and felt that one You Nainai wasn’t sufficient. Therefore, he asked Gu Qingcheng to deploy a team in Lin Nuan’s surroundings to protect her.

One couldn’t imagine the cost it took to groom a team like that. Although Gu Qingcheng didn’t have any complaints regarding Fu Huai’an’s decision to deploy a team to protect Lin Nuan, he couldn’t help feeling that it was a waste of their talents to be deployed for such a purpose.

Fu Huai’an smiled and told Gu Qingcheng that when he met a woman he had a soft spot for in the future, even deploying all of the teams to protect his woman wouldn’t feel like a waste.

Lin Nuan felt like danger was lurking everywhere when she was overseas. In order to prevent her from feeling like that again, they couldn’t use any of the teams that previously helped Lin Nuan, having to deploy a team of fresh faces that she wouldn’t recognize.

“Old Fu, some people have begun suspecting that you’re Mr. Moral. For the time being, I have no intention to whip out a substitute, as that would make it too obvious that we’re trying to cover this up! We can’t rush this matter, so it can’t be helped that there will be people testing you out! In order to ensure safety in the future, bear with it!” Gu Qingcheng spoke in a low, raspy voice.

Fu Huai’an remained silent, walking to the windows with one hand in his pocket…

Regardless of whether it was Gu Qingcheng, Tang Zheng, or Lu Jinnan, they were dragged into this because of Fu Huai’an’s initial desire for money and power.

But now, Gu Qingcheng was still involved in this mess, trying his best to ensure their safety.

Fu Huai’an said, “If you wish to leave that circle…”

“Since I chose this path back then, I have no intention to retreat!” Gu Qingcheng interrupted Fu Huai’an before the latter could finish his words.

He could hear Gu Qingcheng striking his lighter on the other end of the line as he said, “I’m not like you guys, I have no burdens!”

Fu Huai’an kept quiet, understanding the tone in Gu Qingcheng’s voice.

When Gu Qingcheng hung up, Lu Jinnan’s call came in.

Lu Jinnan told him about Fu Cheng’s press conference today and grumbled, “I think the old man is really getting old, for him to have sent Fu Cheng to hold the press conference personally. What did they hire a PR department for? What good does forcefully thrusting Fu Cheng back into the public’s eye do for that wastrel of a son who only wants to pursue a music career?”

It was rare of Lu Jinnan to speak so calmly when he mentioned Fu Qingquan.

Fu Huai’an walked to the French windows and pulled them open a little, then bit a cigarette at the corner of his lips and lit it with his head lowered. He sucked in a deep breath, then shifted the cigarette away with the lighter-wielding hand, not answering.

“However, Fu Cheng’s press conference did help stabilize the share price…”

“No hurry.” Fu Huai’an had plans. He raised his cigarette-wielding hand and pressed his thumb to his temple as he asked, “In regards to that new governmental energy project, apart from the Jiahe Corporation, have we obtained all of the low prices from the other companies?”

“Right! They’re in our hands!”

“Bring that information to Jincheng tomorrow!”

They had built up chemistry over the years, so Lu Jinnan knew what Fu Huai’an was up to the minute he said this. He smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll schedule a meeting with Tang Xi later and ask if he wants to come out tomorrow. But based on Tang Xi’s character, with how badly he wants the Kaide Corporation to get in trouble, he’s bound to agree!”

Fu Huai’an laughed lightly. “En.”

…

Perhaps because the medicine had drowsiness-inducing components, Lin Nuan fell asleep very quickly. By the time she woke up, her stomach was growling.

She took a moment to fix her hair casually. Her mental condition was clearly better than it had been overseas, perhaps because she felt more at ease after returning to her home country.

After washing her face and coming out of the bathroom, Lin Nuan picked up the cup of water that had already turned cold on the bedside table, then pulled open the bedroom door to look for Fu Huai’an.

Lin Nuan smelled the aroma of rice and heard the sound of the kitchen ventilator. She closed the bedroom door and carried the cup of water to the open-concept kitchen counter, where she saw Fu Huai’an bending over…

Fu Huai’an was wearing a set of drapey black casual clothes. Under the warm-toned lighting of the kitchen, the silhouette of his shoulders and back was perfectly traced out. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and he looked so very sexy from the back.

Lin Nuan tightened her hold on the porcelain cup, her fair fingers appearing extra beautiful in contrast to the white porcelain. On top of that, her fingernails had a healthy pink glow to them.

After setting the porcelain cup on the counter, Lin Nuan asked in a low voice, “I’m hungry. What delicacy does Mr. Fu have to offer?”

Fu Huai’an turned around…

On the stove, there was a clay soup pot.

He smiled at Lin Nuan and said, “Food is ready! We’ll drink the soup at night. Auntie Li said it takes a few hours!”

Lin Nuan nodded and, as she stared at the covered-up plates on the dining table, asked, “Did you cook the meal personally?”

Fu Huai’an bent over slightly to wash his hands and asked, “Dare to eat it?”

“Doesn’t sound good…” Lin Nuan looked up.

Fu Huai’an merely smiled and didn’t answer. When Lin Nuan tasted Fu Huai’an’s cooking, her eyes lit up.

Actually, she knew Fu Huai’an was a good cook, but she didn’t expect him to be so skillful with every dish.

Fu Huai’an hadn’t cooked like this for many years.

The television was turned on, and the two of them sat eating in the dining room…

The entertainment news was broadcasting photos of Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan that had been taken by someone when they were in Venice. The show host teasingly said that Lin Nuan had become the talk of the town with the help of a single movie!

“Ms. Fang said that if I can make it tomorrow, she hopes I can meet with her and Miss Xia. It’s to confirm the location of the agency workroom.” Lin Nuan bit her chopsticks and asked Fu Huai’an, “You’re on vacation now, so what are you doing tomorrow?”

Lin Nuan felt a little apologetic that her insistence on returning to the country disrupted Fu Huai’an’s initial plans for the Kaide Corporation.

She felt all the more sorry that she had to leave Fu Huai’an alone for her own work matters.
