Chapter 795: I’ll Get It Changed Right Away!

Fu Tianci quietly mocked himself for being wishy-washy and worried about this earlier. Lin Nuan had said before that he was family, and family… should, of course, eat together!
A joyful Fu Tianci saw a pink-colored exhibition by a jewelry brand in front of a department store and paused as he suddenly remembered Mu Mantong, whom he had forgotten all about in the parking lot.
The last recording attempt for the show didn’t go on successfully because Ah Zhan had suddenly abducted Fu Tianci and Lin Nuan. Mu Mantong had turned up for the recording today too.
It was just that Mu Mantong was a little late this time, and by the time she arrived, the show had already started!
Mu Mantong feared that she would disrupt Fu Tianci during the filming, so she merely sent him a message, saying that she would wait for him in the parking lot to have lunch together at noon.
Fu Tianci only saw the message after the filming and had yet to find the time to reply to her until now.
Fu Tianci frantically whipped his phone out of his pocket.
He felt embarrassed about calling Mu Mantong in front of Lin Nuan, so, after some thought, he decided to send Mu Mantong a message. He didn’t tell her directly that he had already left with Lin Nuan, merely saying that he had something to do and would be leaving first, hence being unable to eat lunch with her, apologizing about it! He also said that he would treat her to her favorite foods the next time around.
By the time she received this message, Mu Mantong was already on the way back to Pengcheng.
She was sitting in the back row of seats, and her countenance didn’t look all that good. When she saw Fu Tianci’s message, she fiddled with her phone for quite a while before replying to him with a smiley face, followed by a text message…
‘Mu Mantong: It’s okay. I was a little abrupt in asking you out this time, sorry about that! We can arrange it again another time!’
Back at the parking lot, Mu Mantong had watched as Fu Tianci happily got into the car with Lin Nuan.
Auntie Wu had wanted to call after Fu Tianci, but Mu Mantong had stopped her from doing so…
Through the car window, Mu Mantong saw Fu Tianci talking with Lin Nuan with a vibrant smile on his face as he got into the car with her. Mu Mantong felt her heart rise to her throat, her brain replaying the images of the times she had seen Fu Tianci and Lin Nuan appear together over and over.
Mu Mantong gripped the hem of her clothes. She liked Fu Tianci’s smile, yet when Fu Tianci was with her, he never smiled so vibrantly and from the bottom of his heart, like he did when he was with Lin Nuan.
Mu Mantong suddenly had a suffocating thought. Perhaps… the one Fu Tianci liked was Lin Nuan?
It was a scary thought because, based on seniority, Lin Nuan was Fu Tianci’s niece-in-law, and according to age, Fu Tianci was a lot younger than Lin Nuan. Moreover… Lin Nuan was Fu Huai’an’s wife, the wife of the man who was vying with Fu Tianci for the Kaide Corporation!
She felt her breathing get messed up. She didn’t want to admit it, yet she couldn’t help thinking of the smile that Fu Tianci had on his face when he was with Lin Nuan.
Her jumbled up feelings almost made her break down. Mu Mantong gripped her phone tightly and turned to look out the car window, unable to hide her panic and helplessness.
She grabbed her legs that had lost all sensation with a death-like grip, yet her legs couldn’t feel even a tiny bit of pain.
If the person hidden in Fu Tianci’s heart was Lin Nuan, Mu Mantong didn’t know how she was going to compete…
Lin Nuan’s legs were slim and long, and her gait appeared sharp and smart. As for her, she was a pitiable person who couldn’t even stand on her own two feet!
Auntie Wu, who was seated beside Mu Mantong, poured a cup of water from a thermos and handed it to Mu Mantong.
Missy has come over from Pengcheng, which is so far away. Why don’t we go directly to Haicheng? At least you’ll get to see the young master of the Fu family.

Mu Mantong quietly released her grip on her legs and took the cup of water from Auntie Wu, giving her a gentle smile.
Forget it, we’ll have other chances in the future!

Holding the warm cup in her hand with her gaze lowered, no one knew what Mu Mantong was thinking.
After a long while, Mu Mantong asked in a soft voice,
Auntie Wu, is it really impossible for my legs to be treated?

Sometimes, Mu Mantong even envied those with amputated legs, for they could at least stand on their own with the help of prosthetic limbs. However, for her… even though she had a pair of legs, she couldn’t walk or even stand on her own.
Auntie Wu paused. She gazed at Mu Mantong’s lowered red eyes, knowing very well why she was asking this.
It was said that women dress up to please the men they fancy. Mu Mantong, who had been relying on a wheelchair all these years, had lived well, was happy, and had a cheerful personality!
Auntie Wu took care of Mu Mantong day in and day out, so she knew that Mu Mantong’s self-esteem had become low ever since she fell for Fu Tianci.
Therefore, her wanting to stand up today was perhaps also due to Fu Tianci.
Auntie Wu smiled at Mu Mantong.
Missy, even if you’re sitting in a wheelchair, you’re the prettiest and most adorable lady in the world! Young Master Fu will surely be fond of you!

Mu Mantong looked a little embarrassed at having her thoughts exposed.
She turned away to look outside the window, gripping her cup tightly, feeling uncertain in her heart…
Really? Would Fu Tianci really like the Mu Mantong who sat in a wheelchair?
…
By the time Lin Nuan and Fu Tianci reached the Kaide Corporation, Fu Huai’an was indeed still not done with his meeting.
Little Lu took Lin Nuan and Fu Tianci to Fu Huai’an’s chairman’s office to wait for his meeting to be over.
Little Lu said that they only started renovating the chairman’s office that day, so Fu Huai’an’s office would be set up there temporarily, hence the simpler decor.
In the new office, regardless of whether it was the sofa or the large office desk, everything carried the scent of new wood.
One could tell that Little Lu had put effort into setting up the temporary office. It was in the style of Fu Huai’an—mature and steady.
Little Lu had prepared snacks and hot tea. It was estimated that the meeting would be over in half an hour’s time.
Little Lu was the one who made the restaurant reservation. Seeing that Fu Tianci had come along too, he asked Fu Tianci if he was going to join Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an at lunch later.
Fu Tianci nodded his head, trying to look reserved.
Lin Nuan said to eat lunch together at noon…

Little Lu nodded.
Okay, I’ll get it changed right away!

It wasn’t Fu Tianci’s first visit to the Kaide Corporation. Everyone who knew Fu Tianci’s identity couldn’t figure out what was going on when they saw him enter with Lin Nuan.
According to logic, Fu Tianci and Fu Huai’an should be rivals!
Now, with Fu Huai’an aggressively replacing Fu Qingquan as the chairman of the Kaide Corporation, how could Fu Tianci still be chatting merrily with Fu Huai’an’s wife?
Fu Tianci could tell that Lin Nuan wasn’t in the best of moods. With him and Lin Nuan alone in Fu Huai’an’s office, the two of them had nothing to talk about, so it was pretty awkward.
Fu Tianci conveniently told Lin Nuan that he was going out to look for a USB when his phone ran out of battery and then left Fu Huai’an’s office.
The young master, Fu Tianci, swung his phone by the strap and glanced towards the secretary’s office after closing the door behind him.
Half of the secretary’s office was empty, so Fu Tianci guessed that some had left with Fu Huai’an for the meeting. Everyone else looked unusually busy.
Perhaps with the appointment of a new chairman, the messiest department would be the secretary department, since all the messy affairs to do with the passing over of duties were waiting for them to be dealt with.
Fu Tianci didn’t want to disrupt the people in the secretary’s office who were busy at work, so he walked out with his phone in his hand, looking for a random staff member to try and get a USB to charge his phone.
