580 Do You Feel That I'm Gloating?

This was the first time Chu Xun ever threw her temper at Chu Jiaoyang. Chu Jiaoyang was stunned.

She had thought that regardless of whether Chu Xun called Fu Huai'an and got him to come over and persuade her to eat, at least Chu Xun would coax her!

Tears were pooling in her eyes. When Chu Jiaoyang eventually recovered from the shock, she threw the pillow in her arms onto the ground. She stood up, tears flooding her face, crying out, "Second Cousin is the most annoying! I no longer like you!"

Chu Jiaoyang then ran back to her room.

Hearing the loud sound of a door slamming, Chu Xun shut her eyes, her head throbbing in pain.

Chu Xun felt mentally tired from having to deal with such an empty-headed and spoiled cousin.

Chu Xun could hear Chu Jiaoyang's cries through the walls. Her phone vibrated. Chu Xun took a look and saw that the incoming call was from Old Madam Fu. She raised her spirits and forced a smile as she picked up the call. "Hello, Grandma Fu… En, right! Do you need me to make a hotel reservation for you? Right… I'm staying at that hotel too! Okay… Okay! Then let me know when you arrive, I'll get my assistant to give you the room number. I'll go find you… No, it's no trouble, the two hotels are located near each other!"

After hanging up the call, Chu Xun seemed to have depleted the last of her energy. She tossed her phone onto the sofa and removed her coat, then slumped lifelessly onto the couch.

Chu Jiaoyang hadn't stopped crying. Chu Xun buried her face in her hands in frustration, wondering why life was so difficult.

…

Lin Nuan was in a good mood today. Add to that the fact that Fu Huai'an had constantly put food on her plate and shelled prawns for her, and Lin Nuan inevitably ate a little more.

The night air was chilly. Fu Huai'an held Lin Nuan by her hand as he led her outside to admire the night view of Venice and take a walk to aid digestion.

You Nainai had originally followed them, but Fu Huai'an was unwilling to have a third party interrupt the two of them, so he asked You Nainai to go back first.

You Nainai was compliant with no strings attached when facing Fu Huai'an. She nodded and returned to the hotel first.

Only after returning to the hotel did it occur to You Nainai—she was used to obeying Fu Huai'an's orders; at his request, she had thrown the responsibility of protecting the person she was supposed to be protecting to Fu Huai'an…

She felt that this wasn't a good idea. However, with how capable Fu Huai'an was, he certainly wouldn't let anything happen to Lin Nuan, so she'd better not tag along and play gooseberry. She went to take a shower, feeling assured.

Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an had just received Little Lu's call informing them that he had safely sent Tuan Tuan back to Tianfu Bay. By the time they returned, Tuan Tuan had fallen asleep, so Auntie Li had carried him upstairs.

Lin Nuan, who had eaten too much, wanted to walk some more. Fu Huai'an pulled her in, having her face him. He lowered his head, saying in a low and sexy voice, "If you're really too stuffed, how about we go back to the hotel and do some pleasurable exercise that can aid in digestion?"

Lin Nuan's ears flushed in an instant. She slapped Fu Huai'an, unable to hide the bashful blush on her face. With her lips pursed, she feigned anger, but she couldn't fool anyone with those glistening eyes of hers.

"Then walk another two rounds with me!" Lin Nuan grabbed Fu Huai'an's arm.

She was talking terms!

Although he would prefer to return to their room and engage in said pleasurable exercise, Fu Huai'an was never one to reject Lin Nuan's requests.

"The chef in that restaurant seems pretty good, managing to make you eat a little more. If you want, I can think of a way to hire him…"

Lin Nuan didn't usually eat much, and it was rare for her to eat so much.

"The chef wasn't bad. For a Chinese restaurant overseas, even if the reviews are good, the standard is usually pretty average. It's just that I was in a good mood. After witnessing Chu Xun being forced to admit her defeat and seeing that innocent and pretty little princess cry, I couldn't help eating a little more."

Lin Nuan couldn't resist laughing out loud when she spoke.

Fu Huai'an was rendered speechless.

Lin Nuan turned to look at Fu Huai'an. "Do you feel that I'm gloating?"

Fu Huai'an pursed his lips. He agreed that it was a bit like that, but he didn't say it out loud. However, he was unable to hide the smile on his lips.

Because Lin Nuan was happy, Fu Huai'an was in a good mood too…

"Let's not bother talking about Chu Xun's feelings towards you, that young lady called Chu Jiaoyang has a pretty and innocent face, but I truly couldn't be fond of the way she was behaving. She was blatantly trying to snatch you from me. To be able to hold it in and eat at the same table with them, my upbringing is considered good."

Fu Huai'an nodded. "Then how about we call them along the next time we eat as well? That way, you can continue to be happy."

Turning her head and catching the sly glint in Fu Huai'an's eyes, Lin Nuan's dark eyes sparkled like the stars in the galaxy. "Isn't that too unkind?"

"What does it mean to be kind?" Fu Huai'an said in response as he continued walking forwards with Lin Nuan's hand in his.

With the sky darkening, the harbor in Venice started bustling with life, with lights all around.

Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan leisurely strolled hand-in-hand, enjoying their private world.

Because it was night time, Lin Nuan could see luxurious yachts parked in the harbor not far away. Members of a lighting crew were busying about, even using a large camera dolly to capture the night scene outdoors. While it wasn't clear what was happening, there was a group of people sitting in a small boat and making a lot of noise as they tried to rescue someone from the water. The blue and red lights from an ambulance could be seen next to them.

Lin Nuan suddenly recalled the news Bai Xiaonian had told her this morning, about Shi Hanchu and Su Manman being here in Venice. Could it be… they were here to shoot a movie?

At this thought, Lin Nuan's heart soared. Could it be… Su Manman or Shi Hanchu?

Su Manman naturally went without saying!

Although Lin Nuan hadn't seen Shi Hanchu since he appeared on her show back then, whenever something happened to her, Shi Hanchu was the first to side with her. Lin Nuan, of course, felt gratitude towards him.

Although Lin Nuan didn't mind, she knew that with Shi Hanchu's appeal, she had been saved from scolding by a lot of people back then.

When she was chatting with Shi Hanchu on the show, she learned that Shi Hanchu was a swimming athlete before he joined showbiz. He had even taken part in the Olympics, though he hadn't won a prize.

Therefore, Lin Nuan wasn't worried about Shi Hanchu; she was more worried about Su Manman.

"Lin Nuan?"

An unsure voice came from behind her.

Lin Nuan turned around and saw a woman with her hair flowing to her waist. She was wearing a tweed cap and a mask and was clad in a slim fitting jacket, black denim pants, and white shoes, standing under the lights. Seeing Lin Nuan turn around, she walked in Lin Nuan's direction as she removed her mask.

Fu Huai'an frowned, appearing displeased with the fact that his private time with Lin Nuan was being interrupted like this.

"You guys are really here!"

After removing her mask, even though the tweed cap blocked most of the light, they could see Su Manman's stunningly beautiful facial outline…

Su Manman and Bai Xiaonian's beauty was of the same type, the aggressively beautiful kind, the kind that might imply trouble. No matter where they went, they were able to capture people's attention at first glance.

Seeing Su Manman standing there safe and sound, Lin Nuan heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled and said to Su Manman, "What do you mean by really here?"
