It wasn’t so bad before he conceived this idea, but once he had, he had regarded Lin Nuan as his daughter-in-law and daughter from the bottom of his heart. He would even imagine a blissful image of his elder son with Lin Nuan when he had nothing better to do!
Now… his daughter-in-law had become someone else’s daughter-in-law, and they even had a kid who could run around!
Lu Jinnan’s father directly smacked his phone on the bed and got up to walk over to Bai Xiaonian’s father, a limp in his right leg. He pointed at Bai Xiaonian’s father’s nose, demanding furiously,
Old Bai! Say, what were your intentions! That kid Lin Nuan is already married, were you deceiving me on purpose! What introduce Lin Nuan to my elder son, were you making fun of me?

Bai Xiaonian’s father had a look of being wronged on his face.
You really can’t blame me for this! How was I to know that kid Nuan Nuan got married! I was doing it out of the goodness of my heart…


Goodness of your heart, my foot!
Lu Jinnan’s father boomed angrily.


Lu Jinnan’s father stood with his hands akimbo, his chest heaving up and down.
Lin Nuan was on such close terms with Xiaonian, how would you not know? Say, what intentions did you harbor? Did you know Lin Nuan’s husband was my elder son’s childhood playmate, who grew up rolling in the mud together! He’s even my son’s boss now! Thou shalt not covet thy best friend’s wife, much less thy boss’s wife! How could you instigate me to get my elder son to woo Lin Nuan!

These few days, Lu Jinnan’s father had read a lot about Lin Nuan, watched her shows several times, as well as listened to her previous radio broadcasts. He was growing fonder of Lin Nuan, his mind filled with images of Bai Xiaonian and Lin Nuan following him around like his daughters and calling him,
Dad, Dad…

Now that his hope was shattered, Lu Jinnan’s father felt dejected…

Enough of that! Stop boasting!
Bai Xiaonian’s father left the disposable cup on the windowsill, using a rag to wipe up water that had spilled onto the windowsill.
How could it be such a coincidence! I can believe it when you say Nuan Nuan’s husband is your elder son’s boss, but childhood playmate? Hur hur… what’s more, one with whom he grew up rolling in the mud together? Oh, did I mention, I grew up together with the Chairman of the Jiahe Corporation, Xie Jingqiu—would you believe that?


I say…

Lu Jinnan’s father had just opened his mouth when he saw Lu Jinnan walking into the ward carrying things in his hands.
Lu Jinnan’s father rushed forward and grabbed his son’s arm, walking to Bai Xiaonian’s father and retorting,
Son, tell your Uncle Bai that you’re childhood playmates with Fu Huai’an? Did you two grow up rolling in the mud together!

Bai Xiaonian’s father turned around and smiled at Lu Jinnan.
Jinnan is here…


En, Uncle Bai, how do you do!
Lu Jinnan straightened his spine a little. Now that he felt differently facing Bai Xiaonian’s father, as compared to before, he felt a little nervous. He nodded, almost a smile on his lips.

Are you not feeling well? Do you have a face cramp?
Bai Xiaonian’s father asked concernedly.


Lu Jinnan didn’t know what to say in response to that.
Future father-in-law, can we still play together merrily?
He didn’t smile much usually, and if he did, it was either a sarcastic smile or an official one at social exchanges. Now that he was facing his future father-in-law, Lu Jinnan was very nervous.

Lu Jinnan! I asked you to tell your Uncle Bai that Fu Huai’an is your childhood playmate? Quick, tell him!

Lu Jinnan thought it was probably because of the fact that Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an’s marriage had been exposed, and it just so happened he was childhood playmates with Fu Huai’an, and Bai Xiaonian and Lin Nuan were as close as sisters; hence, the two elders started talking about them.
This could be considered a great affinity?
In order to bring the two elders closer together, Lu Jinnan earnestly nodded.
My relationship with Huai’an is like that of Xiaonian and Lin Nuan’s!

Look!
Lu Jinnan’s father furiously pointed at Bai Xiaonian’s father.
Your Uncle Bai was up to no good!

Lu Jinnan had the word panic written all over his face; how could his father berate Bai Xiaonian’s father so ferociously, what was he to do if they had a falling out?

Dad…
Lu Jinnan frowned and grabbed his father.
You went overboard to have spoken to Uncle Bai like this!




Son! You have no idea! The last time Lin Nuan came to visit your Uncle Bai, your Uncle Bai instigated me to pair up the two of you! All I could think of was the image of Lin Nuan calling me Dad. Turns out, Lin Nuan has long been married and even has a son old enough to run around! This Old Bai must have done this on purpose!

Lu Jinnan was shocked. He… with Lin Nuan? And what’s more, it was his future father-in-law’s idea!

I’ve said I had no idea Nuan Nuan had gotten married! If I had known, even if I wanted to play a prank on you, I wouldn’t have dragged your elder son into this!
Bai Xiaonian’s father slapped his hands together, a helpless look on his face.
Lu Jinnan fell silent. It seemed like he had a long way to go with his future father-in-law.
…
In the car, Fang Yan told Lin Nuan of the decision made by Haicheng TV Station’s management, to remove Lin Nuan from the program
A Sunday Date.

Lin Nuan’s lips parted slightly as she stared at Fang Yan.

Although the official documents aren’t released yet, Haicheng TV Station is already in the midst of selecting a new talk show host! I’ve heard that President Chu gave the orders this personally. Miss Xia asked me to inform you of this…
Fang Yan said.
Because Lin Nuan had taken over
A Sunday Date
when it was a brand new program, she felt special sentiments towards this program.
She pursed her lips and looked down at her feet. After a long while, she raised her head and looked ahead with her dark eyes and said,
I got it.



It was impossible for Lin Nuan not to feel upset.
Between her breathing, she only felt her chest stuffed up, as if there was insufficient oxygen inside the car.
Lin Nuan lowered the car window a little. The chilly wind blew at Lin Nuan’s hair, and she combed her hair backwards with her slim and long fingers.
Only after a long while did Lin Nuan close up the car windows.

Last night, I saw your contract with Haicheng TV Station at Miss Xia’s, it was a six-year contract!

Lin Nuan nodded.
En, I signed that when I took on the ‘Morning News Daily’ show.

Fang Yan nodded, analyzing the situation and negotiating with Lin Nuan seriously. She said,
I’ve seen the compensation sum for breaching the contract—it’s not a small sum, but neither is it too big. So I intend to advise you to terminate the contract. What is your take on this?

Now at Haicheng TV Station, she was at the mercy of Chu Xun. So long as Chu Xun was determined to pick on her, Lin Nuan might have to loaf around at home for these six years.
Lin Nuan roughly calculated the savings she had on hand; add to that the remuneration from AG if she successfully shot the commercial, and she should just have enough, so she nodded.
Ok…

Because they had an appointment, Fang Yan smoothly entered the underground parking lot at the AG Company. She parked the car in the B1 lot, near the elevator.


Lin Nuan slung her bag over her shoulder and got out of the car. She distractedly closed the car door and began to walk towards the elevators…

Be careful!
