Liang Mulan came back and realized that the scarves had gone missing. She heard from the servants that Lin Ran had thrown them into the trash, and the trash in the bin had been cleared away. Liang Mulan went through the trash bin in the kitchen before she managed to get the scarves back.
 

From then on, Liang Mulan kept the two scarves Lin Nuan knitted in the deepest part of their wardrobe to avoid Lin Ran seeing them again.
 

Lin Nuan knew about this, so she didn’t ask. She started to discuss the sweater with Liang Mulan.
 

Hearing the sound of Fu Huai’an and Lu Jinnan coming down, Lin Nuan quickly hid the sweater under the blanket and gestured for Liang Mulan to keep things a secret. She said secretly,
I plan on surprising Huai’an on Christmas Day!

 

Liang Mulan was pleased to see that her daughter and son-in-law’s relationship was good. She nodded and wore an understanding expression, lowering her voice and saying,
Mom understands!



 

To Liang Mulan, Lin Nuan’s marriage could be considered her greatest consolation!
 

It was true that Fu Huai’an had given Lin Nuan a warm home!
 

If Lin Nuan was still drifting alone oLiang Mulan had seen Lu Jinnan’s photo in the newspaper before. It was the photo of Lu Jinnan and Fu Huai’an heading to Jincheng to meet Tang Xi. She knew that Lu Jinnan was Fu Huai’an’s most important right-hand man in the Kaide Corporation, so she treated Lu Jinnan more politely.
 

utside or had met bad people… Liang Mulan would have forever blamed herself, living in torment.
 

Fu Huai’an came down together with Lu Jinnan. When he saw Liang Mulan seated on the sofa, he called out,
Mom, you’ve come!

 

Liang Mulan nodded and smiled.
You’re busy?

 


Auntie!
Lu Jinnan greeted Liang Mulan seriously. His shirt and trousers were tidy and in order, and he emitted an elitist’s disposition.
 


Hello!
Liang Mulan nodded toward Lu Jinnan.
Take a seat. Does Xiao Lu want water or tea?

 

Liang Mulan got up and seemed as if she was going to get busy…
 

Liang Mulan knew Lu Jinnan’s surname and thus addressed him as Little Lu. He felt overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. After all, he hadn’t introduced himself.


 

Lu Jinnan was used to acting freely at Fu Huai’an’s. When he saw what Liang Mulan was going to do, he felt a little uneasy.
 

Lu Jinnan could only smile and say, seemingly refined,
I’ve already intruded and had lunch here. My talk about business with Huai’an is already done, and I have other things to attend to and am about to leave. There’s no need to trouble Auntie with this.

 

Liang Mulan saw that the clean and refined-looking Lu Jinnan had spoken gracefully. Despite there being news that Lu Jinnan had killed someone previously, Liang Mulan still had a good impression of him. She nodded.
Alright! You and Huai’an are good friends, so I won’t be standing on ceremony with you!

 

Lu Jinnan quickly nodded.
 

Seeing that Fu Huai’an’s gaze had turned toward the coffee table and the many bags around it, Lin Nuan quickly explained,
These are the preparations that Mom made for our wedding. Mom and I are in the midst of picking them out! Why don’t… you join in as well?

 

Fu Huai’an nodded, and there seemed to be a smile in his deep and pitch-black eyes.
I’ll pass on the choosing of the items… I’m not good at this! I’ll have to trouble Mom!

 

Liang Mulan shook her head but didn’t say anything.
 

This wasn’t considered trouble at all. Liang Mulan felt that, as a mother, what she had done for her daughter was really very little.
 

After sending Lu Jinnan off, Fu Huai’an patiently sat on the sofa and tried all of the confectioneries from the different shops. He picked out two that didn’t taste bad, and after discussing it with Lin Nuan, they decided to use the confectioneries from those two places for their wedding.
 

Lin Nuan could tell that Fu Huai’an didn’t wish to let Liang Mulan’s efforts go to waste. He had made Little Lu place the orders for insignificant things like confectioneries.


 

Lin Nuan nodded.
Later on, I’ll inform Little Lu…

 

Liang Mulan’s smile deepened, liking her son-in-law Fu Huai’an more and more as she looked at him.
 

Putting aside the fact that he was capable and outstanding, he really doted on Lin Nuan as well.
 


If the two of you are free in the afternoon, Mom will make a trip to the supermarket and cook good food for the two of you!
Liang Mulan didn’t manage to achieve one goal today and kept wanting to make it up to Lin Nuan in other areas.
 


We don’t have much going on today…
Fu Huai’an looked at Lin Nuan.
If we’re going to shop at the supermarket, then I’ll drive.

 


No need, I’ll just call a cab to the supermarket. I’ll get Old Zhu to send me back later. The two of you can just attend to your own matters! There’s no need to accompany me!

 

Their wedding was coming up soon, and Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an would definitely have a lot of things that they had to attend to. Buying groceries was something that Liang Mulan could do by herself, so she didn’t wish to trouble the two of them.
 

After Liang Mulan returned in the afternoon, Fu Huai’an and Liang Mulan prepared dinner while chatting in the kitchen. Lin Nuan couldn’t find anything to help out with and thus stayed in the living room, listening to their voices while holding onto the Christmas gift she had prepared for Fu Huai’an.
 

Fu Huai’an had always been a man of few words. While they were chatting in the kitchen, it was mostly Liang Mulan speaking and Fu Huai’an listening, occasionally giving a reply. Although he didn’t say much, every time he spoke, it’d be on point. Liang Mulan liked Fu Huai’an more and more. She thought of Lin Ran and felt that if the husband that Lin Ran found in the future could be as good as Fu Huai’an, then she’d be assured.
 

Dinner was ready just as Tuan Tuan stepped into the door.


 

When Tuan Tuan saw Liang Mulan, he docilely called her Grandma. Liang Mulan’s heart ached when she saw the cute Tuan Tuan, and she started nagging about how Lin Chen wasn’t getting married.
 

Tuan Tuan liked the crucian carp fish with radish soup that Liang Mulan made, drinking two big bowls of it. If Liang Mulan wasn’t afraid that he wouldn’t have any room left for food after drinking too much soup, Tuan Tuan would have been able to drink two more bowls of it.
 

Liang Mulan couldn’t bear to leave Tianfu Bay, and Fu Huai’an suggested that she stay for the night. However, Liang Mulan smiled and shook her head.
Now that I won’t be busy with the matters of Nuan Nuan getting married out from the Lin family’s house, I’ve recalled that a friend was saying that she was going to introduce partners for Little Chen and Ran Ran. I’ll have to head back quickly and attend to this matter!

 

Lin Nuan couldn’t help but smile. It wasn’t long ago that Liang Mulan was saying that she’d be leaving these things to fate, yet she was starting to look around for prospective partners so quickly.
 

…
 

The next morning, Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an were going to take wedding pictures at their new house. Fang Yan said that in the afternoon, Lin Nuan had to rush off to Jinjiang to shoot the official publicity video and photos for
Talking with Lin Nuan.
Time was very tight.
 

Lin Nuan was the only celebrity that Fang Yan was in charge of. When she heard that Lin Nuan had to take wedding photos, she was afraid that Lin Nuan wouldn’t be able to make it in time and was also worried that Lin Nuan would be too tired. Therefore, she liaised with Jinjiang TV Station for the official publicity video and photos for
Talking with Lin Nuan
to be shot at Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an’s new place.
 

They were going to film in front of a green backdrop anyway, so the location didn’t matter!
 

Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an didn’t want the wedding photos to be too complicated, and Lin Nuan’s bridal gown was still being tailored. Therefore, she brought along a white V-collar mermaid gown and the red gown that Liang Mulan had bought for her. Fu Huai’an was dressed even more simply. He just wore a suit.
 

The furniture in the manor had already been put in place. The effects would be good regardless of whether the wedding photos were taken outside or inside the manor.


 

Fu Huai’an had a figure that was even better than that of a model. With a height of almost 1.9 meters, he’d look good in anything. Dressed in his suit and leather shoes, he had a tall height and long legs, giving off the disposition of a steady and successful man. The photos were flawless, no matter which angle the photographer captured them from.
 

He had distinct and cool features, appearing headstrong, masculine, and healthy. He also looked steady and mature…
 

Her features were delicate and beautiful, her skin so fair that it reflected light, and it was also very tender. When their gazes met, Lin Nuan’s lips curled up into a gentle smile that was blurred out by her hair, which fluttered with the wind… The way her hair fluttered close to her lips could be said to be extremely astonishing!
 

There was no doubt about Fu Huai’an’s disposition. Lin Nuan’s occupation also made her look good on camera. When the two of them stood together, it was like the lenses favored them.
 

As there wasn’t a need for the photographer to instruct them on the poses to take, every action that Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an assumed was flawless through the camera lens. The two sets of photographs that they thought they would need to spend half a day on, in addition to putting on makeup and changing styles, only took three hours.
 

The photographer took a look at the photos, and his gaze brushed past the full-length window and landed on the indoor swimming pool in the manor. The sunlight shone through the windows, and the water reflected the light…
 

An idea struck the photographer, and he attempted to discuss it with Little Lu, getting Little Lu to ask Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an if they were interested in taking a set of photos in the water that was a little sexier.
 

Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an were changing in the room when Little Lu knocked on the door…
 

Lin Nuan took her clothes with her to the bathroom, and Fu Huai’an, who had just unbuttoned his shirt, buttoned it up again while heading toward the door.
 

After opening the door, he saw Little Lu and a young lady, who was the photographer’s assistant, standing outside.
 

The photographer’s assistant saw Fu Huai’an’s shirt half-tucked into his trousers, half left out. He hadn’t finished buttoning up his shirt, and she could faintly see the muscular lines of his tanned and sturdy chest under the shirt. Her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
 

The young lady’s face was a little flushed. She was so shaken by Fu Huai’an’s strong disposition that she didn’t dare to look in his direction. However, she was unable to resist temptation and kept on sneaking peeks toward him. Her hands, which were hanging down on both sides of her body, clutched onto her shirt tightly.
 

The young lady was Lin Nuan’s fan, but now, she had completely become a fan of Fu Huai’an…
 

She had a strong urge to take a photo of Fu Huai’an and upload it onto Weibo!
 

The young lady was there to represent the photographer and talk with Fu Huai’an, but when she saw him, she wasn’t able to say a single word…
 

Little Lu looked at the unpromising assistant and could only say to Fu Huai’an,
Sir, the photographer wishes to take a set of photos for you and Madam in the indoor swimming pool. It’d be a little sexier. He told me to come and ask if the two of you are agreeable to it.

 

The young lady secretly prayed for them to agree to this proposal! She really wanted to see the sexy photos between Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an!
 

Lin Nuan had already changed out of her clothes and came out of the bathroom. She pulled over a sweatshirt and used the back of her hand to gather her long hair. She asked Fu Huai’an,
What’s the matter?

 

Seeing Lin Nuan walking to the door, the young lady quickly said,
Ms. Lin Nuan, our boss wishes to take a set of photos for you and your husband in the water. It’ll be a little sexier! You can have it as part of your private collection! What do you think?

 

The young lady looked toward Lin Nuan with a gaze filled with anticipation. Seeing that Lin Nuan pursed her lips and wasn’t saying anything, she looked pitifully at Lin Nuan, as if fearing that she’d be rejected.
Ms. Lin Nuan…

 

Lin Nuan’s ears turned a little red. Sexier photos…
 

She looked toward Fu Huai’an.
Are we going to take them?

 


It won’t be very revealing. Our boss says that it can be a low-profile sexiness. He hopes that Ms. Lin Nuan can put on your husband’s shirt. You might get wet, but if you aren’t accustomed to it, you can put on a camisole inside. It won’t be overly revealing!
The assistant tried very hard to persuade them.
 


Wait a moment!
Fu Huai’an closed the door after saying that.
 

Lin Nuan raised her head and looked at Fu Huai’an. Both her ears and face were red.
Do you want to do it?

 

Fu Huai’an’s gaze darkened, and his throat rolled. He recalled how Lin Nuan looked when she wore his shirt previously. Her bust was indistinctly exposed from the collar, and the hems of the shirt covered her butt, revealing her fair and long legs.
 

Fu Huai’an’s body started to heat up, and his long and slender fingers removed the few buttons on the shirt he had done up earlier…
 

Lin Nuan’s heartbeat quickened.
What are you doing?

 

Having been with Fu Huai’an for so long, Lin Nuan knew what that dark gaze in Fu Huai’an’s eyes meant.
 

However, she hadn’t done anything yet. Her sweatshirt and black slim-fit pants were properly put on. There was nothing about her that might seem alluring.
 

Fu Huai’an’s tanned skin with distinct muscular lines appeared before Lin Nuan. She bit her lower lip, and her face flushed up even more.
 

Fu Huai’an unbuttoned his shirt with one hand and pulled Lin Nuan to his front with the other. He asked,
Do you want to do it?

 

Lin Nuan raised her head and looked into Fu Huai’an’s pitch-black eyes, through which she could see her reflection.
A little.

 

Fu Huai’an took off his shirt.
Put it on and show me!

 

Lin Nuan took the white shirt. It still had Fu Huai’an’s warmth on it, as well as his unique manly scent.
 

She clutched the collar with sweaty palms, trying to sound him out.
If I put it on… something terrifying won’t take place, right?

 

Fu Huai’an couldn’t hold back the smile in his eyes and on his lips. He locked onto Lin Nuan’s slender waist with one hand, and his other hand slid down to Lin Nuan’s perky butt, pulling her toward him.
You’ll know after you give it a try…

 

Lin Nuan’s small hand rested on Fu Huai’an’s sturdy arm. She bit on her lower lip and looked at Fu Huai’an’s gaze. She knew that something would definitely happen. Even if it didn’t take place during the shoot, it would definitely take place when they went back tonight.
 

She took a look at the shirt in her hands, then raised her head to look at Fu Huai’an. She pushed away the arm that was hugging her.
I’ll go to the bathroom and change!

 

Fu Huai’an nodded.
 

Lin Nuan changed into Fu Huai’an’s shirt and lifted her long hair out from the collar, allowing it to drape down casually…
 

She looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her waist-length hair was tucked behind her slightly reddened ears, falling down before her chest. She appeared especially petite with the shirt on.
 

She frowned, feeling that it looked too prim to have all of the buttons done up. It wasn’t sexy enough. She loosened one button at the collar, turned to take a look, then undid another…
 

Three buttons were undone, and Lin Nuan’s beautiful bust appeared indistinct. Her straight, long, and slender legs extended out from the hems of the slightly creased shirt. Her curves were beautiful and extremely alluring.
 

Her body heat warmed up the shirt, and Fu Huai’an’s scent, together with her own, darted into her nose. It caused her heartbeat to quicken uncontrollably.
 

It gave her the feeling of wanting to embrace Fu Huai’an tightly. Lin Nuan’s hands were trembling as she undid the fourth button. That strong urge of wanting to dart into Fu Huai’an’s embrace surged up into her mind, causing her to feel a little giddy…
 

Lin Nuan looked at her slightly flushed face. Was it really alright to take photos like this?
 

She had never taken such revealing photographs before…
 


Thud thud thud—

 

The sound of someone knocking at the door rang out, and Lin Nuan subconsciously tugged at the hems of the shirt, wanting to cover up her legs. She was afraid that Fu Huai’an would suddenly walk in.
 


Are you done?
Fu Huai’an urged.
 

Lin Nuan clutched the hems tightly, cleared her throat, and replied,
Almost!

 

After making mental preparations, Lin Nuan buttoned up the fourth button again. Then, after a slight hesitation, she unbuttoned it again…
 

After preparing herself, she opened the bathroom door. Fu Huai’an was putting on a T-shirt, and he turned when he heard sounds coming from the bathroom. What he saw was her beautiful figure covered up by the oversized shirt.
 

Lin Nuan held onto the doorknob with one hand and rested her other hand on the door frame. Her black, fluffy, smooth, and slightly curly long hair draped down to her waist, and the high-quality white shirt brought out the fairness of her skin.
 

Fu Huai’an’s heart felt as if a feather had lightly brushed past it, causing it to itch…
 


Is this alright? Are we going to take the photos?
Lin Nuan’s fair and delicate skin was slightly flushed. Her beautiful features were dyed in a layer of embarrassment that couldn’t be hidden, appearing very alluring.
 

Fu Huai’an put on his T-shirt, and his eyes, which were as deep as the seas, half-squinted. A strong desire to monopolize struck him. He didn’t want others to see Lin Nuan in such an alluring state.
 

His lips curled up, and after assessing Lin Nuan, his throat felt dry and tense. He slowly tugged his T-shirt properly, saying in a hoarse voice,
We won’t be taking them…

 

How could Fu Huai’an possibly be willing to let other people see such an alluring Lin Nuan? This was something that only he could enjoy!
 

Fu Huai’an’s gaze locked onto Lin Nuan, and he raised his feet to walk toward the door…
 

Lin Nuan’s head peeked out from the bathroom, and she saw Fu Huai’an walking to the door, opening it, and saying to the people outside,
We won’t be taking them! Let the photographer go back! Little Lu, you can be dismissed from work after you’ve sent the photographer off!

 

After saying that, Fu Huai’an didn’t give Little Lu or the assistant a chance to persuade him any further, closing the door immediately.
 

Outside, the stunned assistant and Little Lu exchanged a glance.
 

Little Lu smiled.
Let’s go. Our Sir isn’t agreeable to the photoshoot. I’ll send you guys out!

 

The assistant frowned, feeling worried.
Did Ms. Lin and Mr. Fu get into a fight? Mr. Fu’s expression didn’t look too good when he opened the door!

 

Little Lu also saw Fu Huai’an’s dark expression. However… Fu Huai’an’s thoughts had always been hard to fathom! Little Lu wouldn’t be able to guess it even if he were to try hard. So, he decided not to try at all…
 

However, there was no way that Little Lu would believe that Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan had gotten into a fight.
 

Fu Huai’an doted on Lin Nuan a lot, even more so than he did Tuan Tuan. He couldn’t even bear to say anything harsh to her, so how could they possibly have gotten into a fight?
 


It’s unlikely that Mr. and Mrs. Fu got into a fight. I feel that it’s because Sir is concerned that Madam will be too tired since she still has to film the publicity video and take photographs for her new show!
Little Lu made a this-way-please gesture to the assistant.
The young lady was a little unable to accept this, and she threw a glance toward the tightly shut door. After admitting that there was really no hope, she left, heading downstairs with Little Lu.
 


 COMMENT

When they got downstairs, Little Lu didn’t forget to instruct the young lady that this was a private residence and mustn’t be exposed. He hoped that she wouldn’t mention this place to her friends or anyone else when she went back.
