704 There Aren’t So Many Instances of 'The Future Is Still Long” in Life

The young lady nodded and assured Little Lu.

When the photographer heard that the couple had rejected the notion of taking sexy photos in the swimming pool, he felt extremely regretful…

Although the photographer was also a man, he sincerely felt that Fu Huai'an's figure was too great. If they could take a set of photos where Lin Nuan wore Fu Huai'an's shirt while Fu Huai'an bared his upper body, then it'd definitely be very sexy even if the photos weren't photoshopped.

…

When Fu Huai'an closed the door and went back, Lin Nuan had already come out from the bathroom. She rested one hand on the bathroom's door frame, and her two feet stepped onto the carpet. She looked at Fu Huai'an with glistening eyes, appearing very alluring.

Fu Huai'an felt as if there was a fire burning within him, and his blood was surging toward his lower body. His body tensed up as he stood at the door, flames blazing in his eyes.

Lin Nuan released her fair and slender fingers from the door frame, put both hands behind her back, and walked toward Fu Huai'an.

The hand that Fu Huai'an was using to grab onto the doorknob tightened. He was trying so hard to restrain himself that it felt like he was going to shatter his molars!

His wife, who used to blush easily at the slightest thing, was becoming more alluring by the day. So much so that Fu Huai'an was unable to pull his eyes away. He even thought of dying in bed with Lin Nuan just like that.

"Do I look good in your shirt?" Lin Nuan stood before Fu Huai'an, and her small hands, which were like white jade, slowly moved upward from his chest, soon reaching his shoulders.

Lin Nuan's heart beat very quickly when she heard the sound of Fu Huai'an locking the door.

His big hand moved away from the doorknob, wrapped around Lin Nuan's slim waist, and pressed her back against the door.

Lin Nuan's body was seething, contrasting against Fu Huai'an's body temperature through the shirt's thin fabric and making Fu Huai'an feel slightly cold. Lin Nuan bit her lower lip shyly.

Fu Huai'an's voice was extremely hoarse and sexy. "It doesn't just look good. I'm very sure that it tastes good too!"

Lin Nuan's bare feet stepped on Fu Huai'an's, and her face burned up. Seeing Fu Huai'an lowering his head, her slender arms that had wrapped around his neck tightened. She tiptoed, raised her head, and went to meet Fu Huai'an's kiss.

Lin Nuan's mouth was sealed, and she gave her full cooperation in the kiss. Her entire body was tensed up, and her scorching breath became chaotic.

There was still some time before Fang Yan was supposed to bring people to Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan's new place to film the publicity materials for "Talking with Lin Nuan." It was sufficient for them to fool around.

Other than the gardener and servants who were busy with their work outside, only Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an were left in the massive manor.

…

When the people from the TV station drove all of the relevant lights and shooting props to Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an's new residence, they were stunned.

Fang Yan had followed the GPS coordinates that Lin Nuan had sent her, but she was so stunned that she thought she had gone to the wrong place.

It wasn't until she had called Lin Nuan to make sure that was the place that she dared to drive up to the manor's entrance.

They had never expected that there was such a large manor within Haicheng's suburbs!

Haicheng wasn't big, but every piece of land was worth a lot of money. Even if it was Haicheng's suburbs, the place was close to both Nanshan and Jinjiang. The location was fantastic!

Seeing the plate with the words "Fu Residence" hanging to the right of the manor's entrance, Fang Yan felt that her heart was beating especially quickly. She felt as if she was dreaming.

What was the net worth of Fu Huai'an, the financial backer behind their agency? There had been rumors outside that Fu Huai'an's net worth was a mystery, and that a few years ago, the assets he had were already far above the other wealthy businessmen in Haicheng. Some people even said that Fu Huai'an's net worth had already exceeded the wealthiest person!

However, no one could give a certain answer to how much it was.

Fang Yan suddenly felt excited about the fact that their agency would never have to fret about money again.

Knowing that the person who had come was Fang Yan, the guards quickly let her in.

Lin Nuan had already taken a shower and changed her clothes. She stood downstairs to welcome Fang Yan.

This time around, in consideration of Lin Nuan having to shoot the publicity materials for her new show, Fu Huai'an hadn't gone overboard and had let her go after getting his relief.

The manor's security was excellent, and it was very safe. Therefore, while Lin Nuan was shooting the publicity materials, Fu Huai'an went to the study upstairs to take care of things. He didn't plan on staying with her the entire time.

Lin Nuan wore a white sweater, standing before the majestic building, melting into one with the soft orange color on the right side of the sky. She looked beautiful, like a butterfly fluttering its wings in winter.

Two vans with the words "Jinjiang TV Station" printed on them followed behind Fang Yan's car, loaded with equipment. They passed by the fountain and stopped a short distance away from Lin Nuan. Lin Nuan smiled and walked toward Fang Yan's car.

Fang Yan came down from her off-road SUV. When she took in the clean air from Nanshan, she felt refreshed…

She had to admit that this was a great place.

The manor was so big that Fang Yan couldn't see the ends of it. She once again felt that Fu Huai'an was extraordinarily wealthy and couldn't help but wonder about his net worth.

Seeing Lin Nuan walking over, Fang Yan also walked toward Lin Nuan, having an envious smile in her eyes. "Will you and Mr. Fu be staying here after your marriage?"

Lin Nuan nodded. "That's right. This is our new home…"

Lin Nuan had plans for this new Fu residence. She wanted to rear a few dogs to accompany Tuan Tuan as he grew up. She also wanted to have a grape trellis. That way, when summer came, they could invite their friends and relatives over to rest under its shade, cutting off a bunch of grapes to enjoy the labor of their hard work.

"It's a great place!" Fang Yan smiled and said.

"D*mn! Since when was there such a building in Haicheng? Why didn't I know about it?"

"Wealthy people are really different! Even their homes are like a park!"

"I wonder how many lifetimes I would have to work to be able to stay one night here!"

The staff members from Jinjiang TV Station couldn't help but exclaim about how beautiful and huge this place was the moment they stepped out from the vehicles. They were so excited that they were cursing.

Lin Nuan asked Fang Yan, "Did they say if the shoot will be done indoors or outdoors?"

"Let's do it indoors! They've even brought over the green backdrop!" Fang Yan threw a glance at the massive manor. "In the beginning, we were still worried that there wouldn't be enough space. It seems that we thought too much… There's definitely sufficient room since Mr. Fu agreed to let us come over, hahaha…."

Fang Yan had just finished her words when the lady who had said that she wanted to become Lin Nuan's personal makeup artist jumped out of a van.

Seeing Lin Nuan glancing over, the young lady waved at her happily. "Sister Nuan!"

Lin Nuan smiled and nodded. "This lady came as well…"

Fang Yan rubbed her nose and nodded. "This lady is called Mu Taotao. She'll be your personal makeup artist in the future! She gets along well with others and has a good personality. She just met the staff members from Jinjiang TV Station, but she was already pulled over to ride here in their vans!"

Fang Yan didn't tell Lin Nuan that Fu Huai'an's assistant, Little Lu, had personally called her to get her to help make arrangements for Mu Taotao to be Lin Nuan's personal makeup assistant.

In the beginning, Fang Yan was a little put off by this, subconsciously thinking that Mu Taotao was a mistress. She even secretly felt that it was such a pity that even a man like Fu Huai'an was no different from other men, keeping a mistress outside. Even though he acted as if he treasured Lin Nuan…

In the past, when Fang Yan was still with the previous agency, there had been many times when she had to make job arrangements for the president's mistresses.

However, Fang Yan quickly realized that something wasn't right. If Mu Taotao was really Fu Huai'an's mistress, then how would he dare to arrange for his mistress to be right before his wife's eyes.

Fang Yan still hadn't made sense of what was going on. Little Lu didn't make himself clear, and Fang Yan had no idea if this was his intention or Fu Huai'an's!

It was only when she had met Mu Taotao later on that she found out that Mu Taotao and Little Lu were distant relatives. She really liked Lin Nuan and thus had pleaded with Little Lu to get his help.

Therefore, Little Lu gave Fang Yan a call…

Mu Taotao's makeup skills weren't bad. It was just that Fang Yan had wanted to look for someone she could place her trust in.

It was only later on that she thought that since Mu Taotao and Little Lu were relatives, and Little Lu was Fu Huai'an's trusted assistant, that it was unlikely for him to bring Lin Nuan harm. Therefore, she agreed to let Mu Taotao take the job for now and to have her replaced if things didn't work out.

Lin Nuan was a little surprised.

In the dressing room the other day, when Mu Taotao had pleaded for Fang Yan to consider her to be Lin Nuan's personal makeup artist, Lin Nuan could tell from Fang Yan's words that she had replied half-heartedly. It was very clear from her expression and tone that, at that point, she wasn't planning on using Mu Taotao.

Why did she suddenly want to hire this young lady when only such a short time had passed?

Lin Nuan didn't probe into this. "The room for the filming is already prepared. Huai'an has already gotten someone to prepare a green backdrop as well. I went up to take a look earlier, and there are many small white crosses stuck on it. Can it be used?"

Fang Yan had taken care of many celebrities and had also followed along to many filmings. She could tell that Fu Huai'an's preparations were really professional, and she quickly nodded. "The preparations were done really well. If I had known, I wouldn't have told them to bring along the backdrop!"

Lin Nuan led them to the filming room that Fu Huai'an had gotten people to set up previously. All of the necessary setups were done, and they would only need to adjust the lights and get the cameras ready.

While the staff members were busy setting everything up, Mu Taotao did Lin Nuan's makeup at the side.

Seeing that Lin Nuan had her eyes closed, looking a little tired, the corner of Mu Taotao's lips curled up really high as her makeup brush swept lightly across Lin Nuan's delicate and beautiful eyes.

Putting on makeup for a beautiful person was like copying the painting of a famous artist—effortless and enjoyable.

"Sister Nuan, have you ever thought of having short hair? The kind that's at the neck level…" Mu Taotao suddenly spoke up and asked.

Lin Nuan opened her eyes and looked toward Mu Taotao, who had her hair tied up into a ponytail and was beaming brightly. "Hmmm?"

"Sister Nuan, your features are especially delicate, so you would definitely look breathtakingly beautiful if you were to sport that kind of hairstyle. Such a hairstyle is very demanding, relying on the individual's features and hair volume! You have great hair volume, and your hair is black and shiny! In addition to your beautiful features, you would definitely win over all of the other female celebrities in the circle if you were to sport that hairstyle!"

Mu Taotao's expression showed how excited she was. She could even imagine how Lin Nuan would look if she were to sport that hairstyle and wore a champagne-colored mermaid gown.

Lin Nuan hooked up a tuft of hair with her fingers and said, smiling, "I've kept it for so many years, I can't bear to cut it…"

Mu Taotao quickly nodded, appearing very earnest. "This means that Sister Nuan is someone who is very sentimental."

Right before Mu Taotao finished Lin Nuan's hair and makeup, she said, "Sister Nuan, when you're filming later, can I take a look around your house? Don't worry, I'll definitely not recklessly take photos and post them in my social circle! I can leave my phone here…"

Seeing Mu Taotao appearing all solemn as she gave her assurances, Lin Nuan laughed, feeling amused. "Sure. Do you need me to get someone to show you around?"

"Is that alright?" Mu Taotao's eyes lit up. "Your house is so big. If there's no one accompanying me, I might only dare to go around the vicinity. I'd be scared to lose my way!"

After the makeup was done, Lin Nuan got someone to show Mu Taotao around before she started filming. When Fang Yan learned about this, she felt a little displeased. She felt that Mu Taotao had gone a little overboard just because she was affiliated with Little Lu. This was someone's house, not a park. What was there to look at?

Fang Yan's satisfaction level toward Mu Taotao dropped a little.

Fang Yan was someone who couldn't accept the slightest flaw. If her satisfaction level toward Mu Taotao fell below the passing line, Fang Yan would fire her without a care, ignoring Mu Taotao's relationship with Little Lu. There would be no room for negotiations.

…

After the filming was done, Fu Huai'an carried Tuan Tuan, whom Uncle Hu had brought back from kindergarten, and walked downstairs to look for Lin Nuan.

Lin Nuan said that she had troubled everyone by having them come so far to film the publicity materials just to accommodate her. Therefore, she and her husband wanted to treat everyone to a meal.

The staff members from Jinjiang TV Station felt a little excited about being able to have a meal with a legendary character like Fu Huai'an.

Fang Yan was the one who had picked the location. It was a hotpot shop that was considered very good to salaried employees. Fang Yan had a membership there, so she only had to ask for a private room and could head over directly. There wasn't a need for prior reservations.

The private room was filled up, and the yuan yang hotpot in the middle of the table bubbled. It was the best to be eating hotpot in such cold weather to warm up!

They ordered two crates of beer, and someone wanted to pour beer for Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan. Fu Huai'an pointed to his teacup and said calmly, "I drove. I'll just have tea!"

Fu Huai'an had a compelling aura, and with him refusing to drink, no one would dare to force him to. They didn't even dare to pour beer for Lin Nuan. Instead, they were very considerate and ordered hot soy milk for Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan.

After three rounds of drinking, the staff members from Jinjiang TV Station, who were speaking softly before Fu Huai'an's compelling aura from earlier, were now feeling very agitated and chatted noisily.

Someone smiled and said, while looking at Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an across the steam, that he hadn't expected that Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan would be so down-to-earth and sit together with them at a hotpot shop.

Tuan Tuan sat between Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan. Lin Nuan lowered her head and placed some fish meat with the bones removed into Tuan Tuan's small bowl, which didn't have any condiments in it.

Tuan Tuan held onto his small bowl with his fat hands while he ate, his large and pitch-black eyes darting around at the lively staff members from the TV station.

This was the first time that Tuan Tuan had a meal in an environment where everyone was chatting happily. Moreover, they were speaking in blaring voices, unlike what Tuan Tuan had been taught—to not talk during a meal to avoid indigestion. However, Tuan Tuan felt that the atmosphere was very good, and he felt thrilled.

"Mr. Fu!" Mu Taotao held onto her beer and stood up, raising it toward Fu Huai'an. "Mr. Fu, let's have a drink! I'll be Sister Nuan's personal makeup artist in the future. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Sister Nuan!"

Lin Nuan raised her head and looked at Mu Taotao, smiling.

Mu Taotao's gaze when looking at Fu Huai'an was very clear. She could tell that there wasn't the greed other women would have in their eyes when they looked at him.

Fu Huai'an complied and raised his teacup to take a sip.

Mu Taotao didn't mind and raised her head, finishing all of the beer.

"Excellent!"

It was unclear which man at the round table had cheered first, but the other staff members from Jinjiang TV Station all clapped for Mu Taotao.

Mu Taotao's face flushed, and she sat down, smiling.

Fang Yan's brows furrowed tightly, and her satisfaction level toward Mu Taotao almost dropped below the passing line.

She looked toward Lin Nuan, and when she saw that Lin Nuan was still smiling, she suddenly felt worried for her.

There was no one else at the table who dared to toast Fu Huai'an. This Mu Taotao seemed very brave. She had no idea whether Mu Taotao was trying to get Fu Huai'an's attention.

Fang Yan was also married, and despite how capable she was, she, like other women, detested such young ladies who tried to get into the good books of married men.

When they went to the washroom, Fang Yan frowned, tugged Lin Nuan by the arm, and pulled her to a corner. "If you don't like that Mu Taotao, I'll get her changed. It was your husband's assistant who called me to arrange for her to get this job! I heard from Mu Taotao that Little Lu is her cousin or something!"

Little Lu?

Despite being a little surprised, Lin Nuan smiled and asked Fang Yan, "I think that she's quite good. What's the matter?"

Fang Yan really treated Lin Nuan as her friend, so she reached her hand out to poke Lin Nuan on the head. "Are you a fool? No one at the table dared to drink with your husband, but she stood up and finished an entire glass! Don't you have any thoughts on this?"

"I understand my husband. Even if other people harbor thoughts toward him, he won't care about them…" Lin Nuan looked at Fang Yan, who was worried about her, and the smile on her face brightened even more.

Fang Yan was rendered speechless.

She was suddenly fed a handful of dog food!

Lin Nuan's trust toward Fu Huai'an really wasn't affected by anything.

Thinking back on what Fu Huai'an had done for Lin Nuan, she suddenly smiled as well…

Given how much Fu Huai'an cared about Lin Nuan, he probably loved her to his bones to be doting on her like this!

Warm water flowed down onto Lin Nuan's hands while she rubbed them. She said, "Sister Yan, life is actually very short. I don't wish to waste time on those meaningless things… like being jealous. One lifetime isn't even enough for me to stick to Huai'an's side. I don't have time to kick up a fuss. There aren't so many instances of 'the future is still long' in life. With each passing day, there's one day less. Don't you think?"
