545 How Astonishing!

Old Master Lin nodded and turned to head out. Fu Huai'an held Lin Nuan's hand and followed behind him…

Fu Qingquan's heart was in tremendous pain. He clenched his chest. Seeing that, both Secretary Song and Lu Qingmei quickly went up to him.

"Chairman!"

"Qingquan…"

Fu Qingquan waved his hand. "I'm fine. I'm just feeling furious!"

Old Master Mu stood there, not knowing what he should say. He then said, "Our family's matter has caused you trouble!"

Fu Qingquan shook his head at Old Master Mu.

Fu Tianci threw a glance at Fu Qingquan. For some reason, he felt great.

Old Master Mu also put out his hand and pat Fu Qingquan's shoulder with an expression as if he understood his pain. He said, "Forget it, let's head down. It's not good to leave the guests downstairs!"

Fu Qingquan nodded.

Mu Guangpu's wife grabbed her mother, spoke to Old Master Mu, and quickly left.

Fu Tianci suddenly thought of something. He shook off Lu Qingmei's hand and ran out.

"Tianci, where are you going?" Lu Qingmei called out.

"That old woman is still holding onto Lin Nuan's phone!" After saying that, Fu Tianci gave chase.

Mu Mantong watched Fu Tianci as he ran out. Her lips were slightly parted, and she was wondering if Fu Tianci had a good relationship with Lin Nuan.

Fu Tianci caught up to Mu Guangpu's mother-in-law and snatched Lin Nuan's phone. "Does this belong to you? Why are you leaving with it? Are you so short on money? Have you been broke for a few lifetimes?"

Mu Guangpu's mother-in-law was enraged. "What rubbish are you spewing!"

Fu Tianci paid them no heed and turned to head back into the manor.

Old Master Lin said that the atmosphere in the Fu manor was foul and that he was unwilling to stay there. Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an personally sent Old Master Lin to his car and watched as he left before they returned to the manor while holding hands.

"If you don't wish to stay, we can leave right away!" Fu Huai'an held Lin Nuan's small hand tightly.

Lin Nuan shook her head. "Let's stay a little longer, at least until the engagement ceremony is over. Didn't you want to bring up the matter of your leave?"

After returning to the manor, Fu Huai'an was pestered by his business affiliates, and they chatted about their business operations. Lin Nuan used the excuse of heading to the washroom to leave.

After flushing the toilet, Lin Nuan turned on the tap and washed her hands. She recalled the earlier scene where Old Master Lin had blown his lid because of her, and she was feeling a mixture of emotions.

After calming down, Lin Nuan drew a few pieces of tissue paper to wipe her hands, then left the washroom.

"You're here!" Fu Tianci had been looking for Lin Nuan for a while.

Lin Nuan looked at Fu Tianci, feeling puzzled.

Fu Tianci stood in front of Lin Nuan, brought out her phone from his pocket, and handed it to her. "Your phone!"

Lin Nuan had forgotten about her phone. She smiled and said, "Thank you!"

Looking at Lin Nuan's clean and beautiful features, Fu Tianci scratched his head. "Don't take my father's words earlier to heart! He just likes to pick the weak to bully. He doesn't dare get angry at Fu Huai'an, so he turned his target to you!"

Lin Nuan nodded. "I know!"

Fu Tianci didn't know what to say to Lin Nuan. He could only say, "I'll be leaving then!"

"Okay!"

Fu Tianci was about to leave when he thought of something and said, "You don't have to worry. Even if Fu Huai'an meets someone more beautiful than you in the future, he will definitely not have a change of heart! I can tell how much he likes you!"

After saying this, Fu Tianci's ears turned red. He wore an impatient expression to conceal his embarrassment and added, "Moreover, you're quite good-looking! Fu Huai'an shouldn't have many chances to meet someone better looking than you!"

Lin Nuan was stunned and was just about to say something to Fu Tianci when she heard someone calling for him.

Fu Tianci's mother, Lu Qingmei, saw that Fu Tianci and Lin Nuan were standing together and thought that Lin Nuan was going to suggest some tricks to him. She quickly called out for Fu Tianci and headed over.

"Tianci… Why are you here? Your father and Fu Huai'an plan to introduce you to a few people!" Lu Qingmei walked over, gave Lin Nuan a nod and smile, then held Fu Tianci's wrist. "Let's go!"

Hearing that Fu Huai'an was around as well, Fu Tianci's displeasure decreased a little. He was pulled a few steps before he struggled free from her hand. However, he didn't kick up a fuss and say that he wasn't going.

He rubbed his wrist, which was in pain from Lu Qingmei's pulling. "I'm already so old, why would I still need you to take my hand when I walk?"

Lu Qingmei turned and smiled awkwardly toward Fu Tianci. With a gentle expression, she said, "Alright, alright, alright… You aren't a kid. It's my bad!"

Lin Nuan looked at the mother and son, then lowered her head to put her phone back into her bag.

After that, Lin Nuan tried her best to reduce her presence at Fu Tianci's engagement ceremony. After finding Tuan Tuan, they found a quiet place to sit down while Tuan Tuan ate cake.

She subconsciously searched for Fu Huai'an in the crowd. He was standing amongst the crowd, one hand in his pant's pocket, the other holding onto a wine glass. He looked very graceful and poised.

A few businessmen and wealthy characters with great reputations in the circle were having a chat with him, full of smiles. Fu Huai'an listened to them seriously, and the corners of his lips curled up. He didn't interrupt them. When standing amidst the group of businessmen with strong presences, with his tall stature and long legs, his strong presence remained low-profile yet still overwhelmed the others.

It was true that Fu Huai'an was eye-catching. Regardless of where he was, he would always be the one who would stand out from the crowd.

Even though he wasn't the main character in today's event, he was still in the limelight, surrounded by many people.

As if he had sensed something, Fu Huai'an glanced in Lin Nuan's direction.

Their gazes met, and Fu Huai'an smiled at Lin Nuan. The hint of a smile on his face, in addition to his cold features, had an indescribable allure.

Knowing that Fu Huai'an was doing this intentionally, Lin Nuan's ears flushed a little. She was unwilling to admit defeat and returned a smile to Fu Huai'an…

Fu Huai'an's gaze tightened a little. Lin Nuan's smile seemed to make this impressive-looking hall lose its splendor.

Someone looked over, following Fu Huai'an's gaze, and saw an alluring lady. Her beautiful smile and charming features made her feel as if she was a vixen that had come out from the book "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio," out to devour men's vitality.

Lin Nuan had always been very beautiful. Her beauty was exquisite, like that of a porcelain doll!

It was just that Lin Nuan usually didn't put on makeup and only had a bare face. She rarely showed such vivid expressions, so no one knew… that Lin Nuan would be so astonishing when she smiled!

In the past, people always said that Lin Nuan's beauty was different from Bai Xiaonian's. Lin Nuan's beauty was exquisite and dignified, while Bai Xiaonian was like a glamorous vixen.

Today, she was probably going to overthrow this impression that others had of her.

"That is?"

Someone looked in Lin Nuan's direction and asked subconsciously.

"That looks like Lin Nuan, Fu Huai'an's wife!"

Fu Huai'an took a long look at Lin Nuan, turned, casually put his wine glass to the side, and said, "Pardon me!"

After putting down the wine glass, Fu Huai'an headed off in Lin Nuan's direction.
