"Do as you see fit. I'm hanging up!" Fu Huai 'an retracted his gaze and hung up. He frowned and put his phone back into his suit pocket as he put out his cigarette and picked up his lighter.
Lin Nuan's heartbeat quickened and her breathing quickened when she saw him walk out of the smoking area.
They parted on bad terms in the morning, so Lin Nuan couldn't help feeling awkward seeing him again.
Fu Huai 'an walked out and stood at the door without looking at Lin Nuan. He said to Tang Zheng indifferently, "Let's go …"
Lin Nuan's grip on the tissue tightened. It was clearly a ball of slightly damp softness, but she felt like a needle was pricking her palm.
Tang Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Fu Huai 'an, who was leaving first. He could sense that the atmosphere between them wasn't right.
Or rather, since he called Fu Huai 'an over that morning, everyone could sense that he wasn't in a good mood. Fu Huai' an had always been a person who controlled his emotions well and never let them out easily.
The only one who could affect his emotions was probably Lin Nuan.
Seeing that Lin Nuan was about to leave, Tang Zheng quickly invited her, "Lin Nuan, let's go together. It's rare that Old Fu is on leave today, so let's have a gathering with our friends. The room is full of us, so let's play cards and chat!"
Lin Nuan gripped the wet tissue in her hand and forced a smile at Tang Zheng. She rejected him without hesitation, "No thanks, my dinner isn't over yet. You guys have fun …"
"Don't!" Tang Zheng blocked Lin Nuan's path. "I'm about to lose my pants from playing cards with them. You take my place and I'll pay for the losses if you win! I'm your investor, so just treat it as helping me … "
She didn't forget that night at Fu Huai 'an's house when Tang Zheng stopped her from leaving. Lin Nuan lowered her head and reached out to push him away, but she wasn't Tang Zheng's match in terms of strength and height.
She stopped and looked towards Tang Zheng. Before she could say anything, she heard Tang Zheng say, "Your dinner appointment isn't a problem, I can settle it with just a phone call. But if you don't help me play this round of mahjong and make me lose too much, I might accidentally spill the beans to your station's leader about you pretending to be allergic to alcohol."
That was a threat …
Lin Nuan took a deep breath and suppressed her temper. She stood still and said, "President Tang …"
"Just three!" Tang Zheng was the first to stop Lin Nuan from saying anything. His tone was respectful and polite, with a hint of sincerity. "After three rounds, no matter who wins or loses, I'll never mention this matter again. I'll write you a guarantee, okay?"
Although Lin Nuan was very hesitant about Tang Zheng's words, she thought of Fu Huai 'an and felt that she would be rushing if she went with Tang Zheng like that.
"President Tang, I really can't help you. I don't know how to play cards either …" Lin Nuan tried her best to sound calm.
"It's okay if you don't know how to play cards, but Old Fu will feed you cards!"
Tang Zheng's words directly brought up the ambiguous relationship between Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an. Lin Nuan felt suffocated, and seeing that Tang Zheng wasn't giving way, she pulled out the Lin family's name and said, "It's fine if President Tang accidentally reveals this to the station's leader. I think … if I'm not willing to attend the dinner, I can probably use the Lin family's name to keep things under control."
Taking advantage of Tang Zheng's moment of surprise, Lin Nuan walked past him and headed towards the private room.
