Upon hearing those words, Lin Nuan took back what she was about to say about how she owed Miss Xia a favor from the meal that time and didn’t refuse her, simply keeping the money.
…
At the meal, just as Miss Xia had said, they were accompanying a female leader. Apart from Miss Xia, Lin Nuan, and the leader, the rest were all men.
Miss Xia had brought Lin Nuan with her because the leader’s daughter had always been a big fan of Lin Nuan’s shows and had requested for Lin Nuan’s autograph, so Miss Xia decided to just bring Lin Nuan over in person.
Lin Nuan’s looks and style had always been well-liked by older women, so the leader had a good impression of Lin Nuan.
Halfway through the meal, likely because everyone was getting slightly tipsy, someone played a somewhat dirty joke on Lin Nuan and quietly took advantage of her under the table. Miss Xia sat beside the leader, so she didn’t notice. Fortunately, Bai Xiaonian’s call saved Lin Nuan, and she only returned the call once she reached the bathroom.
Lin Nuan leaned against the sink counter when she saw someone coming out of a cubicle, so she shifted slightly to the side. After hearing Bai Xiaonian’s inquiries, she turned on the tap and clipped the phone between her face and shoulder as she scrubbed the back of her hand, where she was touched, with force.
It’s fine, it’s just a meal with a female leader, and she’s a pretty nice person. You can just relax and sleep well, you and Song Yao don’t have to wait for me to eat later in the afternoon, I still have something on later…
Turning off the tap, Lin Nuan placed her phone inside her pocket and took some soap to scrub her hand. She almost used up the whole bottle of hand soap and scrubbed the back of her hand so aggressively it burned painfully before she stopped. She took a few pieces of tissue and wiped her hands as she walked out.
Just as she opened the bathroom door, Lin Nuan heard a familiar voice that made her pause in her steps.
Did you turn dumb from fooling around with women? You even dare to reveal the company’s bottom-line price to Jia He’s side?
Behind the glass door of the smoking area opposite her, was Fu Huai’an who was speaking on the phone with his back to her. He was still wearing the same black outfit he did earlier, making him appear all the more stable. His back remained firmly straight, and his mature, elegant aura had a pressuring feel.
Probably because of his anger, his deep voice held impatience and displeasure, making his aura even more pressuring.
Excuse me…
The voice came from behind Lin Nuan, and her shoulder was knocked into; Lin Nuan moved a step to the side.
A duo came out together, and a lady with a sexy figure glanced at Lin Nuan unhappily.
When she raised her head once more, Fu Huai’an had already turned around, and his deep gaze was looking over to Lin Nuan. She clenched her fists around the tissues in her palms.
Yo… Lin Nuan! What a coincidence! Why are you here?
Tang Zheng, who came out of the room to find Fu Huai’an, had a cigarette between his lips. He moved it away upon seeing Lin Nuan, smiling as he asked her.
Lin Nuan didn’t reply, and Tang Zheng shifted his gaze to Fu Huai’an who was in the smoking area, asking,
Old Fu, are you using the excuse of a phone call to sneak out to secretly meet Lin Nuan? No wonder you haven’t returned after such a long time, the mahjong table has been abandoned for so long it’s turning cold…
Lin Nuan’s ears turned red from Tang Zheng’s words as she got reminded once more of how Tang Zheng had barged in when she and Fu Huai’an almost did the deed, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
She hurriedly explained,
No, I’m here for a meal, and I came together with Miss Xia…
Lin Nuan felt guilty for some reason, and she brought Miss Xia in subconsciously, as though with that evidence, others would believe that she wasn’t there to meet Fu Huai’an secretly.
