Even the audience members were all looking in Lin Nuan’s direction and couldn’t hold back their smiles…

Lin Nuan was befuddled. She put away her phone and walked towards the stage, a dazed look on her face.

Miss Xia, who was in heels, held back the urge to smile and jogged up the stage. She hurriedly slipped the documents in her hands under her arm, unable to hide the smile in her eyes. She helped Lin Nuan turn off her microphone, saying to her as she did, “You didn’t turn off your microphone. Just now, what you were saying to your Mr. Fu—so long as you’re eating with him, even takeout tastes good—everyone present heard you loud and clear. Your image as a cold beauty has been destroyed!”

Lin Nuan’s ears turned red in an instant. She lowered her gaze and feigned calmness, acting as if she didn’t care about how others were staring at her at all.

Perhaps no one would have guessed that, in private, Lin Nuan would be eloquent when it came to saying romantic sweet nothings. This was entirely different from the aloof image she usually displayed in front of the media and the public, with her just acting like a sweet girl-next-door.

Someone suddenly realized why the Kaide Corporation’s ex-president and current-chairman, Fu Huai’an, was so madly in love with this Lin beauty. It turned out, even though the Lin beauty appeared to be high and aloof on the surface, in private, she could be soft and sweet.

So, it turned out… men were just like women. They were also unable to escape the sweet nothings’ attack, and their ears and heart would also succumb to such words.

Fu Tianci went backstage to change his clothes. When he heard two staff members passing by talking in glee about how Lin Nuan had forgotten to turn off her microphone when she was talking with Fu Huai’an, Fu Tianci also found it unbelievable.

In Fu Tianci’s heart, Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an were both quiet individuals who probably didn’t interact much. He had thought that they both liked quiet and a sense of groundedness, hence they had chosen each other. Little did he expect that Lin Nuan was capable of speaking sweet nothings!

Lin Nuan was heading to the Kaide Corporation to eat lunch with Fu Huai’an, and Fu Tianci wanted to tag along. Yet, he found it embarrassing to speak of his intentions directly to Lin Nuan.

Fu Tianci, who was unbuttoning his shirt, frowned hard. In the mirror was the reflection of a melancholic, pretty youth.

…

Miss Xia walked out of the recording studio with Lin Nuan, who was pretending to look serious. The instant she saw Xing Feng, Lin Nuan felt her heart rise to her throat. She subconsciously looked in the direction of Fang Yan, who was standing beside Xing Feng.

Xing Feng nodded at Lin Nuan. Seeing how Xing Feng was unable to speak his mind freely, Fang Yan smiled and explained things to Lin Nuan, saying, “Nuan Nuan, Mr. Xing has a military-themed show that he wants to collaborate with our agency on. See if you have the time. We can talk about the details when we’re back at the office!”

Towards Xing Feng, Lin Nuan subconsciously felt a resistance.

She was unwilling to interact with military personnel, fearing some danger might lay ahead, waiting for Fu Huai’an. She was afraid that someone from the military was there to try to get her to convince Fu Huai’an to accept it.

“Our country has a dedicated military channel and also its own host. Why would you think of collaborating with our agency?” Lin Nuan’s gaze focused on Xing Feng without shifting, not even for a moment. She felt that Xing Feng had an ulterior motive.

Lin Nuan worried that Xing Feng was merely trying to give her agency some benefits before later asking her to repay the favor in some other form.

Lin Nuan didn’t forget about that day at Tianfu Bay, when, after Xing Feng looked for Fu Huai’an, Fu Huai’an was taken away by military personnel that very night. Also, Fu Huai’an seemed to have known about it in advance and didn’t appear surprised at all.

It wasn’t easy for Fu Huai’an to finally return from the military. They had just managed to lead peaceful lives when, suddenly, Qin Zhe and this Mr. Xing had reappeared in their lives one after the other. Lin Nuan found it hard not to mind this.

“Mrs. Fu, it was Mr. Fu who asked me to find Ms. Fang Yan. I’m afraid that our show can’t be broadcast on the military channel and can only be broadcast online. This is why we need the host to have some level of popularity. Furthermore… we also need the host to have a righteous appearance and a powerful and resilient voice!” Xing Feng looked like he was in a difficult position.

Lin Nuan’s hands remained by her sides. She was trying her best not to reveal cowardice before Xing Feng by clenching her fists.

Xing Feng said that it was Fu Huai’an who had asked him to come and look for Fang Yan…

“More importantly…” Xing Feng’s gaze was fixated upon Lin Nuan. “Mrs. Fu has the experience of going to Iraq, so you’re a more suitable candidate for the show that I hope you’ll take on! Furthermore, Mrs. Fu, the show that I’m asking you to do has to do with the people who once rescued you back in Iraq!”

Lin Nuan frowned and remained silent.

“Lin Nuan…” Xing Feng called out Lin Nuan’s name in a low voice. “The team that rescued you back in Iraq, you’ve seen those people before. There aren’t many of them who have survived until today! I only hope… that more attention will be brought to people like them, to their lives after they got injured or disabled and were forced to retire from the military. And to not let these heroes, who once devoted their lives to protecting our nation’s peace and security, be forced to live out their remaining days in a pitiful state.”

Lin Nuan, who kept telling herself that she wasn’t a righteous person, could feel her heart start to waver.

Lin Nuan felt especially awful. It was as if her chest felt as if it was stuffed with cotton balls dipped in vinegar.

Seeing how Lin Nuan’s countenance was bad facing Xing Feng, Fang Yan didn’t feel it was appropriate for her to interrupt their conversation. Miss Xia had sniffed something unusual as well, so she decided to just light up a ladies’ cigarette and stand by the side while Lin Nuan made up her mind.

It felt like a century had passed, with no one talking for a long, long time…

Sunshine entered from the large transparent windows, landing on Xing Feng’s polished leather shoes and ironed trouser legs. It also made visible the tiny specks of dust flying in the air.

“Lin Nuan, I’ll take your ride back to Haicheng. Are you leaving now or not?”

Fu Tianci’s loud and casual voice could be heard from not too far away, breaking the strange silence between Lin Nuan and Xing Feng.

Turning around, she saw the uniform-clad Fu Tianci with both hands in his pockets. He was standing at the other end of the corridor, with his clean and delicate jaw raised.

“Okay!” Lin Nuan agreed. Fu Tianci had given her an excellent excuse to run away. She looked towards Miss Xia and said, “I have a lunch date with Huai’an and have something to discuss with him. I’ll leave you and Sister Yan to decide on this matter!”

Lin Nuan didn’t even remove her makeup. After simply changing her clothes in the dressing room, she went downstairs with Fu Tianci, getting into the car and closing the door after her as if she was escaping.

Even Fu Tianci had sensed Lin Nuan’s abnormality. “Are you being chased by a wolf?”

Lin Nuan frowned and raised a hand to tuck her loose strands of hair behind her ear to conceal her awkwardness. She asked Fu Tianci, “Where do you wanna go?”

“I have no plans for the entire afternoon anyway, so I want to go look for Fu Huai’an at the Kaide Corporation to congratulate him on being appointed as the chairman!” As he was saying this, Fu Tianci turned his head away sheepishly to look outside the car window.

He was obviously trying to tag along after finding out that Lin Nuan was meeting Fu Huai’an for lunch at noon. Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to make it so explicit.

Also, Fu Tianci feared that Lin Nuan would reject him and say that she wanted to eat alone with Fu Huai’an.

Lin Nuan nodded. “Just nice. I’m meeting Huai’an for lunch at noon. If you have nothing going on after lunch, I’ll send you back together with Nainai!”

Fu Tianci, who was staring at the scenery outside the car window, felt his heart pound, feeling super delighted. The car window vaguely reflected the curved arc of his lips, as well as his ears that were awfully flushed.

“Okay!” Fu Tianci answered cheerfully.
