Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Fu Huai’an’s voice carried an alluring smile in it. As his warm and slightly wet lips grazed Lin Nuan’s ear, she felt like her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

“That… that’s so not the case!” Lin Nuan turned around and pushed against Fu Huai’an’s shoulder to increase the distance between them.

“Let me hear you call me Sir Fu…” Fu Huai’an’s dark eyes narrowed as he gazed at his little bride with interest, a bewitching glaze in the depths of his eyes.

Lin Nuan only felt that her brain was running out of oxygen. She felt devoid of strength all over as desire took over her rational senses. Even if her rational senses were made of steel, they wouldn’t be able to withstand Fu Huai’an’s advances.

Fu Huai’an’s large and tough hand grabbed Lin Nuan’s soft-as-water petite one tightly as he kissed the top of her head. Nonetheless, he ultimately said this, “I won’t bully you today!”

Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

Had Fu Huai’an ever eased on the bullying? Just a moment ago, he was pinning her on the bed and bullying her to death… and now he had the cheek to say he wasn’t going to bully her?

Lin Nuan was indeed like Fu Huai’an’s poison. When he was alone with her, she wasn’t the only one with her desire stirred up.

It took Fu Huai’an a great deal of self-restraint to not let Lin Nuan sense his desire to possess her anytime and anywhere. Despite that… the way Lin Nuan gazed at him told him that she had an idea of that desire.

Looking at Fu Huai’an’s handsome and well-defined facial features and his elegant peach-colored skin tone that glistened…

Lin Nuan bit her tongue and held back the urge to live in an uninhibited manner with Fu Huai’an.

For a man and woman who were compatible in every area, especially in bedroom matters, when their eyes met, a certain gene in their bodies would be triggered, perhaps even explode.

Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an’s fingers were intertwined, and the warmth from their pressed palms was the sense of security that Lin Nuan was most reluctant to part from.

Hearing the sound of Fu Huai’an’s phone vibrating in his pocket, Lin Nuan subconsciously gazed towards it. In doing so, she accidentally spotted that clearly enlarged spot on Fu Huai’an’s trousers, causing her face to explode with redness.

Fu Huai’an took out his phone and glanced at it, then stuck one hand in his pocket to conceal his unnaturalness. “Go upstairs first… I’ll come back and accompany you after I’m done with this call!”

Who needed him to accompany her?

Lin Nuan retorted in her heart. If she were to let Fu Huai’an accompany her, who knew what that might lead to.

Lin Nuan put on her slippers then held her phone tightly as she jogged upstairs…

Gazing at Lin Nuan’s back view as she fled the scene, Fu Huai’an couldn’t help smiling.

Even though he had been married to Lin Nuan for so long, even though Lin Nuan was indeed seductive enough sometimes, she was, after all, a little tender and needed to be taught more.

Watching until Lin Nuan arrived upstairs, Fu Huai’an then answered the call. “Qingcheng…”

It wasn’t known what was said on the other end of the line, but it made Fu Huai’an frown as he walked to the backyard.

Lin Nuan had just laid back onto the bed and turned on the wall lights, not even having a chance to turn off the main lights before her phone rang.

Lin Nuan hadn’t expected Bai Xiaonian to be calling at this hour. With her elbow on her pillow, she reached for her phone on the bedside cabinet and put the call through with her body leaning sideways. She pulled on the sheets to cover herself properly. “Hello… Xiaonian.”

“Nuan Nuan! Something happened to Song Yao!” Bai Xiaonian couldn’t hide the panic in her voice. “That scumbag Cai Jingyao took a voice recording of her! The voice absolutely belongs to Cai Jingyao. I’ll remember her voice until the day I die!”

Cai Jingyao was someone Bai Xiaonian would rather die than mention!

Cai Jingyao used to be Song Yao, Bai Xiaonian, and Lin Nuan’s bestest best friend when they were roommates. But since Cai Jingyao slept with Lu Jinbei behind Bai Xiaonian’s back, Cai Jingyao had fallen out with Bai Xiaonian and moved out of their hostel, choosing to go overseas for her studies. Since then, Lin Nuan hadn’t heard any news about Cai Jingyao!

Lin Nuan hadn’t expected the name Cai Jingyao to return to her life again. That name still had the effect of causing Bai Xiaonian’s voice to tremble with panic.

“What voice recording?” Lin Nuan asked after calming down.

All these years, Lin Nuan had never heard Song Yao mention that she kept in touch with Cai Jingyao.

“Internet… Their conversation is all over the internet! Nuan Nuan, Song Yao is finished!” Bai Xiaonian’s voice was trembling hard.

“Don’t hang up!”

Lin Nuan removed her blankets and got up to grab her laptop from the sofa, then opened it.

When she tapped open the news app, the screen was filled with news about Song Yao.

[Shocking revelation! Newly-crowned Best Actress Song Yao didn’t deserve the award. She revealed that she obtained it by sleeping her way up!]

[Plastic surgery! Third party! Newly crowned Best Actress/natural beauty/sweetheart image completely destroyed!]

[Best Actress Song Yao willingly became a third party and ditched her boyfriend after plastic surgery. Is she degrading herself, or is this true love?]

[Netizens boo at Third Party Song and want her to scram from the entertainment industry!]

[Breaking news! Song Yao revealed that she became a third party in order to obtain a movie role to advance her career!]

[Revealing the truth after getting drunk—under her sweetheart mask, Song Yao is actually a lustful woman?]

[“This industry is so messy” series: Newly-crowned Best Actress Song Yao—did she benefit by playing by the unspoken rules in the industry, or did she get where she is through true talent?]

Lin Nuan read headline after headline with trepidation.

Lin Nuan recalled how Song Yao had shown up at her apartment with those wounds and the things she said to her and Bai Xiaonian when she later got drunk!

Those words of self-mocking and self-loathing, it was fine for Song Yao to say them to her friends—her and Bai Xiaonian. But should someone else have heard it, Song Yao wouldn’t be able to explain herself.

Lin Nuan played the voice recording.

“Among the four of us, I’m the oldest. What an awkward age. This seems like an age where I should be shining the brightest, yet I’m not tender enough when compared to those young ladies who just graduated from film school. In just a few years, I’ll be thirty. At that age… if I’m still a C- or D-list actress in the industry, I’ll be finished! What will be waiting for me then? Get married to the thirty-year-old Su Huan and be a stay-at-home mom? I don’t want to spend the rest of my life this way, Yao Yao. I spent huge amounts of money on my face, choosing the most expensive skincare products and going for micro plastic surgeries. I no longer spend my free time as I did back in school… eating instant noodles and potato chips while binging on US dramas. Instead, I give it my all in the gym, trying to sculpt firm abs and a firm butt! I’ve been working so hard… I don’t want to remain a nobody for the rest of my life! I want to become popular! I, too, want to taste what it’s like to be wildly popular!”

“But even then, you can’t break up with Su Huan! You guys have been together for so many years. Everyone assumed you guys getting married was a done deal! How many people are envious of the love between the two of you? Su Huan loves you so much! He rushed to the airport to try and get a hold of you and get a proper explanation when you asked for a breakup. He almost got into an accident and lost his life! Doesn’t your heart ache… just a little for him?”

Lin Nuan clenched her hands slightly. This was indeed Cai Jingyao’s voice!

“But what can I do other than break up with him? Don’t tell me I should bed other men behind his back instead!” Song Yao laughed softly. “Don’t tell me that I need to tell Su Huan that I’m willing to degrade myself… willing to become a third party, just so I can get my hands on a role I’ve been eyeing for a long time, in order to get a Best Actress Award? Or should I straddle two boats and think about how well another man treats me while lying in the arms of another man, then have the best of both worlds?”

The voice recording stopped here.

Lin Nuan’s heart was suspended in mid-air…

If Song Yao had never said these things to Lin Nuan, Lin Nuan would already have stood out to speak for Song Yao by now, because her good friend of many years wasn’t such a person in her heart.

But the truth was the truth. Even Lin Nuan, a person who was protective of people she cared about, had no idea how she should go about defending her!

On the other end of the line, Bai Xiaonian had listened to the voice recording another time with her breath held. She was silent for a good while before saying, “On top of snatching other peoples’ boyfriends, Cai Jingyao has gone on to scheme against her friends. This person…”

Lin Nuan lowered her eyes, hearing how Bai Xiaonian was choking as she said this.

Back then, when Bai Xiaonian fell out with Cai Jingyao, things had gotten ugly in the hostel. They demanded that Song Yao and Lin Nuan pick sides. If one chose to be with Bai Xiaonian, she couldn’t continue associating with Cai Jingyao, and vice versa.

After calling Bai Xiaonian a childish ghost, Cai Jingyao left and didn’t return to their hostel after. Later on, she went overseas to continue her studies.

After all these years, Lin Nuan hadn’t expected Song Yao to stay in touch with Cai Jingyao while keeping it from her and Bai Xiaonian.

“I can’t get through to Song Yao’s phone. I’m afraid she…” Bai Xiaonian choked a little.

“My older brother knows Cen Mo. I’ll think of a way to contact him and see if Cen Mo knows of Song Yao’s whereabouts. I’ll call you back in a bit!”

After ending the call, Lin Nuan couldn’t care what time it was, immediately calling Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was working overtime in the office and was prepared to turn off his computer when he saw Lin Nuan calling.

“Nuan Nuan…”

Lin Chen reached for his suit jacket and put it on, holding onto his navy blue knitted sweater as he walked towards the elevators.

“Brother, can you help me contact Cen Mo and ask him how Song Yao is now? Whether she is with him right now!”

Detecting Lin Nuan’s anxious tone of voice, Lin Chen agreed immediately.

Very quickly, Lin Nuan received Lin Chen’s call. Cen Mo said that Song Yao was with him and was very safe. The woman called Cai Jingyao had been abducted by Cen Mo’s men, and it was likely that nothing good was going to happen to her.

Lin Nuan couldn’t quite pinpoint how she was feeling right now. Lin Chen then said in his deep voice, “I remember Cai Jingyao. She used to be your hostel roommate?”

Lin Nuan lowered her eyes, her index finger gently gliding on her laptop’s touch screen. “En…”

“Don’t interfere in this matter. Cen Mo had a fiancée very early on. In this matter, that Song roommate of yours was indeed the third party. If you were to come out and speak for her, you’d inevitably be implicated! You’re about to get married, so take care of yourself first!” Lin Chen raised his hand and pressed the elevator button.

Not wanting Lin Chen to worry about her, Lin Nuan said okay, then hung up the call.

Just as Bai Xiaonian had said, with the exposure of this voice recording, Song Yao’s future was ruined!

Cen Mo… Song Yao’s biggest calamity in this lifetime!

Lin Nuan called Bai Xiaonian back and told her that Song Yao was fine and was with Cen Mo now, helping to put her heart at ease.

“Nuan Nuan, when Song Yao brought Cen Mo to meet us at the Night Palace, should we have stopped Song Yao from carrying on with her mistakes at that time? She…”

Bai Xiaonian didn’t know how to describe Song Yao. Based on Bai Xiaonian’s character, if she had seen this news as an outsider, she surely would have stood on the moral high ground and scolded Song Yao badly.

Third parties had, in Bai Xiaonian’s eyes, degraded morals and were shameless without limits!

However, Song Yao was her friend!

She clearly knew that Song Yao deserved to be scolded, clearly knew that Song Yao was in the wrong, yet Bai Xiaonian couldn’t help worrying for her.

Bai Xiaonian even suspected there was now something wrong with her morals!

Lin Nuan was in the same dilemma as Bai Xiaonian, conflicted as to what she should do.

After ending the call, Lin Nuan went into deep thought.

Lin Nuan had been to that hotel and knew that Song Yao had repented on her mistakes, yet she couldn’t bear to escape Cen Mo. Precisely because of this reason, she directed her rage at Song Yao to Cen Mo, feeling that this man was too shameless. Although he claimed to love Song Yao, he had given Song Yao the identity of a third party!

If it were true love, why couldn’t he have handled his fiancée and given Song Yao a proper place!

Song Yao said that Cen Mo was aware that Song Yao’s mother was driven to her death by a third party and that she loathed third parties the most in this lifetime. Yet, Cen Mo had made her a third party…

Was this really true love?

Lin Nuan frowned.

The door opened. Fu Huai’an closed the door with the back of his hand, then, seeing how Lin Nuan was sitting on the sofa with a frown, smiled and asked, “Why… are you still troubled over which design to pick?”

Lin Nuan wasn’t in the mood to joke. She gazed at Fu Huai’an and said in a low voice, “Something happened to Song Yao. Her matter with Cen Mo was exposed. Cen Mo has a fiancée… so things have become very tricky.”

Nowadays, the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television strongly asked that all programs and celebrities kept an upright image and faced the public and media with a positive and hardworking attitude. After such a scandal was exposed, it was unavoidable for Song Yao to be blacklisted.

But Lin Nuan was more concerned that Song Yao couldn’t take this psychologically.

To drive someone to this state due to one’s fondness, Lin Nuan sure had her horizons widened when she saw how Cen Mo’s fondness for Song Yao played out.

“What is there to be vexed about?” There was a smile in Fu Huai’an’s eyes. He curled up his fingers and knocked against Lin Nuan’s head. “That boyfriend of Song Yao’s isn’t a simple character. If he truly loves your friend, he will naturally help your friend take care of this matter. This isn’t a difficult matter to him.”

Cen Mo’s identity wasn’t simple?

Lin Nuan frowned even harder. She raised a hand and held it against the reddened spot where Fu Huai’an had knocked against just now and looked up at him, her clear eyes still visibly worried.

Fu Huai’an looked at Lin Nuan and paused, then rubbed the top of her head with his large hand, saying in a soft voice, “If you have the time to be worried about such matters, why not use it to look at shopping websites and pick out a piece of kinky lingerie that catches your eye!”

“Fu Huai’an, is your brain filled with these yellow things1?” Lin Nuan pried away the hand that Fu Huai’an had placed on the top of her head. Her face had grown hot, but she was still worried about Song Yao.

“My brain is filled with you…” Fu Huai’an bent over and kissed Lin Nuan on her forehead.

Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

So, was she scolding herself?

Lin Nuan raised her hand to remove those loose strands of hair that had been kissed messy by Fu Huai’an and were sticking to the corners of her lips. She was about to ask Fu Huai’an how Cen Mo’s identity wasn’t simple, but before she could open her mouth, Fu Huai’an had lifted her off her feet and carried her to the bed.

Fu Huai’an embraced Lin Nuan from behind and covered her with the sheets before turning off the lights. Then, in a low voice, he told Lin Nuan to close her eyes and rest.
