Fu Huai 'an silently mocked himself for not knowing what he was feeling awkward about earlier. Lin Nuan had said that he was family, and family … naturally had to eat together!
Amidst his joy, Fu Tianci saw a pink castle set up by a jewelry brand in front of the department store. He suddenly thought of Mu Mantong, who he had forgotten in the parking lot, and was stunned.
Fu Tianci and Lin Nuan were suddenly abducted by Ah Zhan, causing the recording of the previous show to be unsuccessful. Mu Mantong had come to the recording today as well.
It was just that Mu Mantong came late this time, and the show had already started by the time she arrived!
Mu Mantong was afraid that she would disturb Fu Tianci's recording, so she sent Fu Tianci a message, saying that she would wait for him in the parking lot for lunch.
Fu Tianci only saw the message after the show ended, and he hadn't had the time to reply yet.
Fu Tianci hurriedly took out his phone from his pocket.
It wasn't nice to call Mu Mantong in front of Lin Nuan, so Fu Tianci thought about it and sent Mu Mantong a message. He didn't directly say that he and Lin Nuan had left. Fu Tianci wrote that he had something on and had to leave first, so he couldn't have lunch with Mu Mantong. He was sorry! He would treat Mu Mantong to something she liked to eat next time.
When she received the message, Mu Mantong was already on her way back to Pengcheng.
She sat in the backseat, her expression dark. When she saw Fu Tianci's message, she rubbed her finger against the edge of her phone for a while before replying to Fu Tianci with a smiley face. She then quickly added a text message …
[Mu Mantong: It's okay. I'm sorry that I asked you out so suddenly this time! Let's do it again next time!]
In the parking lot, Mu Mantong watched as Fu Tianci happily got into the car with Lin Nuan.
Auntie Wu wanted to stop Fu Tianci, but Mu Mantong didn't let her …
Through the car window, Mu Mantong saw Fu Tianci smiling brightly as he got into the car with Lin Nuan. Mu Mantong's heart rose to her throat, and her mind replayed the scenes of Fu Tianci and Lin Nuan every time they were together.
Mu Mantong gripped the hem of her shirt tightly. She liked Fu Tianci's smile, but when Fu Tianci was with her, he had never smiled as brightly and sincerely as when he was with Lin Nuan.
Mu Mantong had a suffocating thought. Perhaps … Fu Tianci liked Lin Nuan?
This was a scary thought, because in terms of seniority, Lin Nuan was Fu Tianci's niece-in-law. In terms of age, Fu Tianci was much 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!
Even her breathing was a mess. She didn't want to admit it, but she couldn't help but recall the smile in Fu Tianci's eyes when he was with Lin Nuan.
Mu Mantong's chaotic emotions made her feel like she was on the verge of breaking down. She gripped her phone tightly and turned her head to look out the window, unable to hide her panic.
She clutched her numb legs tightly, trying her best to hold on, but her legs did not feel the slightest pain.
If the person hidden in Fu Tianci's heart was Lin Nuan, Mu Mantong didn't know how she would fight …
Lin Nuan's legs were straight and slender, and she walked in a nimble and capable manner. But he was a pitiful wretch who couldn't even stand up!
Auntie Wu, who was sitting next to Mu Mantong, poured a cup of water from a thermos and passed it to Mu Mantong. "Miss, you've rushed over from Pengcheng. Why don't we go to Haicheng directly? At least we'll be able to see the Fu family's Young Master?"
Mu Mantong calmly released her grip on her legs, took the cup of water, and smiled gently at Auntie Wu. "Forget it, there'll be a chance in the future!"
[Please note: Please pay attention to resting your eyes when reading for long periods of time.] [Recommended reading:]
Holding the warm cup of water in her hand, Mu Mantong's eyes were lowered, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
After a long while, Mu Mantong asked in a low voice, "Auntie Wu, is there really no way to treat my legs?"
Sometimes, Mu Mantong even envied those who had amputations. At least, those people could stand up with the help of prosthetics. But she … had a pair of real legs, yet she was unable to walk or even stand up.
Auntie Wu was stunned. She looked at Mu Mantong's lowered and reddened eyes, knowing very well why Mu Mantong would ask this.
It was said that a woman would dress up for the man she liked. All these years, Mu Mantong, who had been living in a wheelchair, had been living very well. She was very happy, and she had a lively personality!
Auntie Wu took care of Mu Mantong all day, so she knew that Mu Mantong's sudden sense of inferiority came from her falling in love with Fu Tianci.
Then, the reason why she wanted to stand up now was probably because of Fu Tianci.
Auntie Wu smiled at Mu Mantong. "Miss, even if you're sitting in a wheelchair, you're still the most beautiful and adorable lady in the world! Young Master Fu will like you! "
Having her thoughts seen through, Mu Mantong looked a little disheveled.
She tilted her head and looked out the window, gripping the cup tightly. Her heart was filled with uncertainty …
Would he? Would Fu Tianci really like the wheelchair-bound Mu Mantong?
…
When Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an arrived at the Kaide Corporation, Fu Huai' an was indeed still in a meeting.
Little Lu brought Lin Nuan and Fu Tianci to Fu Huai 'an's chairman's office to wait for Fu Huai' an's meeting to end.
Little Lu said that the renovation of the chairman's office had only started that morning, so Fu Huai 'an's office was temporarily set up there. The renovation was simpler.
In the new office, be it the sofa or the large office desk, they all had the smell of new wood.
It could be seen that Little Lu had put in a lot of effort into this temporary office. It was Fu Huai 'an's calm and steady style.
Little Lu had already prepared the snacks and hot tea, and the meeting was expected to end in half an hour.
Little Lu was the one who made the reservation for the seats in the dining room. Seeing that Fu Tianci had come along, he asked Fu Tianci if he wanted to have lunch with Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an at noon.
Fu Tianci pretended to be reserved and nodded. "Lin Nuan said that we'll have lunch together at noon …"
Little Lu nodded. "Okay, I'll get it done right away!"
This wasn't Fu Tianci's first time at the Kaide Corporation. Those in the company who knew of Fu Tianci's identity couldn't figure out what was going on when they saw Lin Nuan and Fu Tianci together.
Logically speaking, Fu Tianci and Fu Huai 'an should be competing with each other!
Now that Fu Huai 'an had forcefully pushed Fu Qingquan over to become the chairman of the Kaide Corporation, how could Fu Tianci still joke around with Fu Huai' an's wife?
Fu Tianci could tell that Lin Nuan wasn't in a good mood today. He was the only one in Fu Huai 'an's office with Lin Nuan, yet the two of them had nothing to say to each other. It was extremely awkward.
Fu Tianci took advantage of the fact that his phone had run out of battery and told Lin Nuan that he was going out to look for a charging cable.
The young master, Fu Tianci, held onto the lanyard of his phone in his hand as he closed the door and glanced at the secretary's office.
The secretary's office was half-empty. Fu Tianci guessed that everyone had gone to the meeting with Fu Huai 'an, and everyone else seemed abnormally busy.
Perhaps the most chaotic department after a new chairman took office was the secretary's office. There were all sorts of messy matters waiting for the handover.
Fu Tianci didn't want to disturb the people in the secretary's office, so he grabbed his phone and walked out, preparing to look for a random employee to get him a charging cable.
