"What do you want to watch?" Lin Nuan asked Fu Huai 'an as she stared at her phone screen.
Fu Huai 'an's long fingers tapped on the steering wheel as he asked, "What's up?"
"Su Manman's movie 'Summer in Phoenix City' is still airing. Why don't we watch it and support her?" Lin Nuan turned to look at Fu Huai 'an's profile.
"I'll accompany you today. You can watch whatever you want to watch. But before we go to the movies, we need to buy a hat, in case you're recognized and everyone asks for your autograph …" Fu Huai 'an turned his head to look deeply at Lin Nuan as he drove. His dark and alluring eyes seemed to exude infinite charm.
Fu Huai 'an rarely had a day off and only wanted to enjoy life with Lin Nuan. He didn't want to be disturbed.
The photo of Lin Nuan being asked for an autograph at the pharmacy had already been posted online …
Fu Huai 'an had always been sensitive to news about Lin Nuan. Even if he didn't notice it in the beginning, he must have found out later on.
Someone speculated that Lin Chen was Lin Nuan's boyfriend and posted a photo of them leaving in the same car.
Xia wanted to use this news to boost Lin Nuan's popularity, but Lin Nuan's manager, Fang Yan, rejected it without hesitation. She said that Lin Nuan shouldn't go down the path of scandals. She didn't want Lin Nuan to be a second or third-rate celebrity. She wanted Lin Nuan to be upright, elegant, smart, and brave.
Fang Yan said that it was time for Lin Nuan to lie low and not reveal herself.
Then, someone clarified that it was the current president of the Lin Corporation, the eldest brother of the Lin family who grew up with Lin Nuan and asked everyone not to make a fuss.
That news was quickly suppressed and didn't cause a stir. The next day, it was overshadowed by other entertainment news and disappeared without a trace.
It wasn't that Lin Nuan didn't know about this news. She nodded …
Lin Nuan was only a host and didn't intend to go down the path of a celebrity, so she didn't care about scandals. But … she really cared about Fu Huai 'an and was worried that she would implicate him and make him a topic of gossip.
As for the marriage news, they hadn't officially held a wedding ceremony. At least, Lin Nuan didn't plan to make it public for now.
"Then, let's go to the nearest Wanda. The one on Yannan Fourth Road is two kilometers from here. We can eat there, then buy a hat at the mall and watch the movie at five. How does that sound?"
Lin Nuan asked Fu Huai 'an.
"Let's buy the hat first! If we're discovered during the meal, we might be followed all the way … "
Lin Nuan nodded and bought the tickets for the five o 'clock movie on WeChat.
Fu Huai 'an parked the car in the underground parking lot, which happened to be directly opposite the elevator. As he unbuckled his seatbelt, he said to Lin Nuan, "Wait for me in the car!"
Lin Nuan slowly unbuckled her seatbelt and watched as Fu Huai 'an got out of the car. He closed the door behind him and strode towards the elevator.
The engine wasn't turned off in the car, and the warm wind blew on Lin Nuan's petite face, making it warm and a little dry.
She reached out to turn down the heater and propped her left elbow on the lid of the storage box on the center console. She scrolled through her phone and waited for Fu Huai 'an to return.
The moment the elevator doors opened, Lin Nuan subconsciously raised her head to see if it was Fu Huai 'an who had returned. What she saw was a burly middle-aged man dragging a young girl who was wearing high heels and extravagant clothes, walking out with a sinister gaze.
Walking out of the elevator, the girl flung the man's arm away and looked at him coldly. Her eyes were full of sarcasm. "Do you really think you're my father? What a big face! Your son lost money in gambling, what right do you have to make me pay for your son's debt? Why don't you get your biological daughter to pay for your son's debt? The two of them are blood-related siblings! Didn't you say that if you can't afford it, you can sell yourself for quite a bit of money? You're asking her to sell herself! You've been throwing a tantrum at me, your step-daughter, over and over again. What's going on? "
The man's face was livid as he stood at the door of the elevator and looked at the girl. When he heard the words "sell herself," he raised his hand and slapped her across the face, causing her to fall to the ground. It was clear how strong he was.
There was a huge disparity in strength between men and women.
Lin Nuan frowned and had the urge to get out of the car.
The man seemed to be infuriated, his chest heaving up and down violently. Knocking the girl to the ground wasn't enough to vent his anger, so he raised his leg and kicked her in the waist …
"You slut, how dare you ask my daughter to sell herself! What kind of person is my daughter, and who do you think you are? How dare you compare yourself to my daughter? You have the money to shop at the mall and buy branded goods, but you don't have the money to pay for your brother's debt? Do you think I raised you for nothing? Either you come up with the money to pay for me today, or you go sell yourself in Cloudy Water to pay for your brother's debt. Otherwise … I'll ruin your reputation! Let's see if you can still work at the Kaide Corporation! "
When Lin Nuan heard the words "Kaide Corporation," she raised her hand to press on the door handle and was about to get out of the car …
The girl was kicked a few times, but it wasn't too bad. When the middle-aged man tried to kick her again, she somehow mustered enough strength to knock the burly middle-aged man back a few steps.
Lin Nuan's hand paused as she pulled on the door handle.
She wasn't someone who liked to meddle in other people's business. Perhaps it was because the Kaide Corporation was related to Fu Huai 'an, so when she heard those words … knowing that the girl was working for Fu Huai' an, she couldn't sit still …
Lin Nuan originally thought that if the girl couldn't handle it, she would get out of the car to warn her and call the police.
The girl stood up and sneered at the man. "Don't you know we're in a law-abiding society now? You're in such a hurry to become a pimp and drag me to sell myself in Cloudy Water. This is against the law. One call from me to the police … and you'll have to go to jail! You don't believe me? Let's give it a try … "
As she spoke, the girl had already taken out her phone …
The man looked at the girl's cold expression and muttered something about bad luck. He asked the girl to wait, then hurriedly left.
Lin Nuan retracted her hand from the door handle. Looking at the girl, her cold and indifferent expression instantly shattered. Her hand, which was holding onto the phone, fell limply to her side, and she leaned against the elevator door frame weakly. Tears streamed down her face like pearls from a broken necklace. She gripped her collar in pain and bent down to cry.
After a long while, Lin Nuan pushed open the car door and walked to the girl, handing her a packet of tissues.
The girl raised her head and looked at Lin Nuan with reddened eyes. Her lips parted slightly. "Lin Nuan?"
Lin Nuan didn't pay much attention to it. She was the host of the hottest show, "A Sunday Date," so it was normal for people to recognize her.
