But Lin Nuan didn’t know how to console her. Lin Nuan wasn’t the kind of person who would interfere too much in her friend’s love life.
“Lin Chen!”
Lin Nuan heard a delicate voice.
Perhaps because the voice was calling out Lin Chen’s name, she instinctively turned around to look. She saw a young lady in a pink dress standing up at a table in the distance, waving at the door’s direction.
Lin Nuan shifted her gaze toward the door. It was indeed Lin Chen.
Su Manman, who was about to leave, sat back down and asked Lin Nuan with a prying smile, “Isn’t that your brother? Why does he look so angry?”
Lin Nuan, who was hesitating about whether she should say hello to her older brother, could tell from Lin Chen’s expression that he was indeed not in a good mood. He spotted the young lady and walked over to her with a tense face. As soon as he arrived at her table, he threw a file in front of her. His deep voice was filled with warning. “Don’t do something so meaningless in the future!”
“Aye? Why…” The young lady gave Lin Chen a perplexed look. Her large, watery eyes were filled with confusion. “Aren’t you competing with my brother for this project now? I’ve given you such an important confidential document…”
Lin Chen was so angry that he was rendered speechless. Thinking that he’d already done what he’d come there to do, which was to return the document, he turned around to leave.
The young lady cried and tugged at Lin Chen’s arm. “Lin Chen… I’m doing this to please you! Even if you’re not grateful, you should at least appreciate my efforts!”
“Do your parents know that their daughter is shamelessly selling out their company’s shares just to pursue someone who doesn’t even like her? Wouldn’t they be upset?” Lin Chen pulled back his sleeves and turned to leave.
The crying young lady called out Lin Chen’s name, but she didn’t chase after him. After Lin Chen disappeared from her sight, the young lady suddenly changed her sad countenance and sat back in her chair. A sly smile appeared on her face as she glanced at the file in front of her…
“Hmm… What a gentleman. He didn’t even open it to look! What should I do…? I like him even more!” With her fair and slender fingers tapping on the file, the young lady was like a sly little fox. She seemed like she was in a good mood.
Lin Nuan raised her brows slightly…
She could tell that the love this young lady had in her eyes for Lin Chen was real. When Lin Nuan turned around, she saw Su Manman was also raising her brows as she looked at the fox-like young lady. Su Manman couldn’t help but smile. “I previously always thought that a man like Fu Huai’an, who was always so serious and gloomy, would eventually be conquered by a girl like her! This world… is truly wonderful. I didn’t expect you to be the one who’d conquer Fu Huai’an in the end!”
Su Manman then picked up her bag and put on her sunglasses. “Then I’ll get going first… I’ll give you a call later!”
Lin Nuan nodded.
After watching Su Manman leave, Mu Taotao walked to Lin Nuan’s side and asked, “Sister Nuan, where are we going next?”
“Let’s go to Kaide Corporation! I’ll pay Huai’an a visit…” Lin Nuan also picked up her bag to leave.
“Okay!”
Upon hearing that they were going to the Kaide Corporation, Mu Taotao was elated.
“Why are you so happy to go to my husband’s office?” Lin Nuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at Mu Taotao’s reaction.
“Because I can see Brother Little Lu!” Mu Taotao smiled vibrantly.
Actually, it wasn’t as if Mu Taotao didn’t know that someone of her status couldn’t fall in love and have children like a normal person. If her identity got exposed, it would be very troublesome to get captured or hunted down by the enemy.
However, Little Lu knew Mu Taotao’s identity. Therefore, Mu Taotao didn’t have any reservations and boldly pursued her love…
She had already told Little Lu that they were only dating, not getting married, or having a baby!
But Brother Little Lu didn’t seem to like her as he refused to accept her!
This was Mu Taotao’s first time wooing a man, so she didn’t want to give up halfway. Since she didn’t manage to succeed yet, she had to work hard to quickly conquer his heart.
Seeing how Mu Taotao didn’t even try to hide her feelings for Little Lu, Lin Nuan smiled and nodded as they headed towards the restaurant exit.
Before leaving the restaurant, Lin Nuan couldn’t help but take another glance at the young lady from earlier. The young lady was delicate and pretty, and her clever and sly look was evident. She looked like a sly, little snow-white fox, and Lin Nuan felt that it was rather interesting.
The young lady probably noticed that someone was looking at her, and she instinctively looked at Lin Nuan’s direction…
But Lin Nuan had already retracted her gaze and walked towards the elevator.
The young lady sat in her seat and felt that the woman looked very familiar. Only when the dishes were served did she realize that she was Lin Nuan… Lin Chen’s younger sister!
The young lady’s face turned pale. Oh no… Could it be that she had discovered that she was hiding her prowess to entrap bigger fish? Should she… go after her and explain?
Wouldn’t she just make things worse?
When Lin Nuan came out of the underground parking lot, she saw Lin Chen’s car parked by the roadside. Lin Chen was standing on the road, making a phone call with furrowed brows.
Lin Nuan asked Mu Taotao to stop the car and rolled down the car window. “Brother… what’s the matter?”
Lin Chen seemed surprised to see Lin Nuan there. He sighed and said, “My car broke down!”
“I’ll drop you off! It’ll be raining by the time the trailer arrives!”
Lin Chen hesitated for a moment before opening the car door and getting into the car…
The siblings sat together in the backseat. Lin Nuan thought of the petite young lady from earlier and smiled. She asked, “Brother, why are you here?”
Lin Chen was indeed feeling a little uncomfortable. “Mm, I just came to have lunch!”
“But this place is far from the company!” Lin Nuan deliberately teased Lin Chen.
Lin Chen’s brows furrowed as though he was thinking of something unpleasant. He tugged at his collar and said, “Mm, something happened.”
Lin Nuan wasn’t the gossipy type, so she didn’t ask Lin Chen about it. After dropping him off at his company’s entrance, she told him she was going to the Kaide Corporation.
Lin Chen looked at Lin Nuan, who was smiling in the car. He bent over and propped one hand on the car’s roof, reminding Lin Nuan, “Bring Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan home more often. Father, Mother, Grandpa, and Grandma miss the two kids very much. They also miss you…”
“I know. Mom called me this morning. I told her Huai’an and I will visit them with the kids this weekend. Brother, will you also be there and join us for dinner? Tuan Tuan really liked the toys you gave him last time… He made a piece of artwork and kept saying that he wanted to give it to Uncle Lin Chen!”
At the mention of Tuan Tuan, a rare smile appeared on Lin Chen’s face. “Mm, I’ll be there that day!”
“Alright, then I’ll get going first! See you on the weekend!”
Lin Chen nodded. He only went inside after watching Lin Nuan leave.
Before Lin Nuan went to the Kaide Corporation, she had learned from Little Lu that Fu Huai’an hadn’t had lunch yet because he was still in a meeting with Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng.
Lin Nuan asked Mu Taotao to take a detour to Man Jiang Lou to buy lunch. Even after she arrived at the Kaide Corporation with the food, their meeting had yet to end.
Lin Nuan didn’t go in to disturb them. She called You Nainai, who was standing guard by the door, to the resting lounge.
