Mr Fu, I Really Love You

One had to take one bite at a time and do things one step at a time, so for the time being, Fang Yan didn’t intend to reveal too much to Lin Nuan. Lin Nuan had to go to “The Exorcist’s” shoot later, so she should focus on her role within the movie right now; everything else Fang Yan could take care of for her.

Fang Yan had to think of a way to get Fu Huai’an’s or his assistant’s contact information. She looked at Lin Nuan with her peripheral vision; even though she could get to Fu Huai’an more easily by simply asking Lin Nuan, it was apparent Lin Nuan didn’t wish to implicate Fu Huai’an in this matter.

Fang Yan required Fu Huai’an’s help in her third step, so she had to think of a way to communicate with Fu Huai’an. Even if Lin Nuan wasn’t willing for Fu Huai’an to be dragged to the forefront, what if Fu Huai’an himself was willing?

Despite knowing Lin Nuan wasn’t too concerned with the rumors and insults by the netizens, Fang Yan still had to prepare her for it mentally. “Although the netizens will scold you for doing all that even after giving birth to a child, something good will definitely arise out of this misfortune. The trend now is that the more vicious the scolding, the hotter the incident will become! Shi Hanchu was once under my wing… when he just debuted, he was criticized so harshly, but now no one can waver his solid position as the best actor in the industry!”

Lin Nuan held the warm coffee cup in her hands as she nodded. “I believe in you, Ms. Fang!”

“How are your preparations for the role of Feng Wuluan’s past reincarnation coming along? There are spirited controversies over your role on the Internet…” Fang Yan changed the topic. “If you have any doubts, you can consult the original author later, she’ll be present today as well.”

Hearing this from Fang Yan, Lin Nuan felt herself getting nervous all of a sudden. She nodded vigorously. “I got it, Ms. Fang!”

Fang Yan was swift and vigorous in her actions; while in the car, she had already arranged for someone to write a long Weibo post to explain Lin Nuan’s current marital status… explaining that the kid in the photo was born in 2014. Because Lin Nuan had gone to Iraq in search of Wen Moshen after giving birth, her relationship with her husband fell to a freezing point; it was only several years later, when Lin Nuan’s husband brought the kid back to the country, that the two buried the hatchet and got back together. And also, it was mentioned in the post that Fu Tianci was just a kid of their relatives and not that of Lin Nuan’s husband!

Fang Yan didn’t divulge the fact that Lin Nuan’s husband was Fu Huai’an.

Over the phone, Fang Yan instructed the author of the Weibo post to write that, because Lin Nuan and her husband had kept their marriage under wraps, Fu Tianci didn’t understand the true situation of their marital status, so such a misunderstanding had arisen.

Fang Yan didn’t reveal her entire plan to Lin Nuan, telling her that this was a last-resort tactic until she could come up with something even better and that she had to prepare this in case of an emergency. They would only use this if they didn’t manage to think of a better way before Lin Nuan was done with her shoot today.

Because she was worried that the reporters would adversely affect Lin Nuan’s emotions at the shoot, Fang Yan notified the reporters who had been camping at the set of “The Exorcist” that Lin Nuan would be coming out to clarify the matter with everyone after she was done with the shoot.

The moment Lin Nuan got to the set, she took the chance to close the door and give Fu Huai’an a call before the makeup artist got there, telling him about Fang Yan’s current arrangement.

Fu Huai’an was rendered speechless.

Fu Huai’an was holding an old photo in his hand; upon hearing Lin Nuan’s words, he frowned, unwilling to admit that he felt a little gloomy after hearing about the results of Lin Nuan’s discussion with Fang Yan.

He had originally planned to make use of this incident, as well as Tuan Tuan’s parentage, to confirm his married status to Lin Nuan. He also hoped that Lin Nuan would stop harping on about wanting to keep their marriage a secret…

In the end, he was left hidden in the backdrop now, with them only admitting to Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan’s mother-and-son relationship, as if this was none of Fu Huai’an’s business!

Fu Huai’an had wanted Fang Yan to urge Lin Nuan to reveal to the public the fact that they were now married.

Shouldn’t managers make their artists their top priority? How could she let her own artist bear such a great burden on her own? Was this top manager’s reputation fake?

Fu Huai’an didn’t say another word for a good while; over the phone, Lin Nuan could hear a man’s steady breathing.

“Huai’an?” Lin Nuan called out in a small voice.

The door to Fu Huai’an’s office opened, and Little Lu came in with a stack of documents in his arms…

Fu Huai’an casually slipped that photo into the drawer. Seeing Little Lu place a document in front of him, he pulled out a pen and signed on the papers, his handwriting strong and forceful. “Did your manager not say anything else to you?”

Lin Nuan looked at the makeup before her as she sat in front of the mirror, nodding. “I told Ms. Fang that you were in Iraq at the time too. Ms. Fang suggested that we could switch up the concepts and claim I had gone there in search of you instead, or that you and I were in Iraq to begin with. However, I didn’t want to drag you into this.”

“Don’t want to drag me into this?” Fu Huai’an’s brows were now tightly knitted together. “Only unilaterally admitting to your mother-and-son relationship with Tuan Tuan? Then how did Tuan Tuan come about? People are bound to press you for the identity of Tuan Tuan’s father! Who will you say is your husband then?”

Seeing that Lin Nuan wasn’t replying, Fu Huai’an set aside the signed document and scribbled his signature on the second document. “Xiao Nuan, I only asked for you to hear Fang Yan’s opinion on how to deal with the matter because I believed in her reputation. If she can’t handle this… let me do it.”

Just then, his assistant Little Lu knocked on the door and entered. Seeing that Fu Huai’an was on the phone, he didn’t make a sound.

Fu Huai’an’s vision swept over Little Lu, and he said to Lin Nuan, “I’ll give you a call later.”

“Sir, Madam’s manager called me and asked if she could take up a bit of your time.”

Since the matter concerned Lin Nuan, Little Lu decided to come in to consult Fu Huai’an.

Fu Huai’an nodded. “Transfer the call!”

“Yes, Sir!”

Little Lu was about to leave the room before Fu Huai’an halted him in his footsteps.

“When am I scheduled for the interview with MD Magazine?” Fu Huai’an asked.

“Next Wednesday!” replied Little Lu.

Fu Huai’an nodded. “Bring it forward to tomorrow…”

“Yes, Sir!”

Five minutes later, after Fu Huai’an ended his conversation with Fang Yan, he returned Lin Nuan’s call.

Fu Huai’an didn’t say much, only telling Lin Nuan to believe in Fang Yan. On this matter, she should just act according to Fang Yan’s arrangement. Since she had chosen this manager, she should just believe in the manager’s competence. Also, she should believe in him.

“Xiao Nuan, I am your husband. I should be the big umbrella that is there to shelter you from the wind and the rain. Even if you are already used to this, I can’t stand by and do nothing while you get attacked by all these rumors! Your husband isn’t so weak to be destroyed by such rumors. Let’s take this opportunity… to reveal the fact that we are married to each other. I want the whole world to know that you are my, Fu Huai’an’s wife, my Mrs. Fu!”

Lin Nuan’s throat lightly vibrated. Fu Huai’an’s sentence about wanting the whole world to know that she was his Mrs. Fu made her eyes redden.

She felt nervous, her hands gripping the armrest of her chair tightly, her heart full of internal struggle and hesitation. After a long while, and with much difficulty, Lin Nuan finally said, “Ok.”
