Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Cen Mo stood before the French windows with one hand in his pocket, gently shaking the ruby-colored liquid in his hand, his eyes narrowed. “Chu Xun, congratulations on the commencement of your journey into hell.”

…

Director Yang Rui spoke to the male lead Zhang Jingcong just like Fang Yan taught him, and when Zhang Jingcong reached the set, he apologized to everyone sincerely and said he would put in 200% effort from then on.

Even if there weren’t his scenes, he would memorize his lines by the side, training his chest muscles and arms, striving for the silhouette of his muscles not to differ too much from those of his stunt double Fu Huai’an. After all, Fu Huai’an’s silhouette was way too perfect, so it was indeed difficult to achieve an identical result!

Zhang Jingcong could only hope to maintain his body in its best shape possible to be ready for the shoot at any time.

Every day at 5 pm, when Fu Huai’an came to pick up Lin Nuan, the production crew would be excited.

Before Lin Nuan was done removing her makeup and came out, she could hear the young ladies chattering outside, discussing Fu Huai’an’s long legs, good figure, incredibly handsome looks, and things like that.

“Ya! It seems like I need to hurry! Mr. Fu has come to pick you up, Sister Nuan!” Mu Taotao teased Lin Nuan.

“You sure talk a lot!” Although Lin Nuan said this, her face turned red too.

After coming out of the temporary dressing room, Lin Nuan saw that in the distance beside a black car, Zhang Jingcong was bowing to Fu Huai’an at 90 degrees, making one feel his actions were sincere.

Zhang Jingcong straightened his body and said to Fu Huai’an, “Thank you, Mr. Fu. A man of your stature was willing to be my stunt double, and I was too narrow-minded. I’m truly sorry!”

Fu Huai’an’s vision went past Zhang Jingcong and saw Lin Nuan coming over from not far away. A smile involuntarily appeared on his face. He retracted his gaze and looked at Zhang Jingcong as he said, “Never mind, in any case, I truly… don’t like the idea of you having intimate interactions with my wife. I don’t mind being your stunt double in some scenes!”

Zhang Jingcong paused…

He thought of how the male lead would shelter the female lead as they escaped from the rain of bullets, which meant physical contact was inevitable. And also, the photo that caused so many waves on the internet… the one of the two of them hugging each other on the soft ladder of the helicopter.

Was he displaying his jealousy with righteous indignation and also brazenly putting on a public show of affection?

“Then… I’ll take note in the future!” Zhang Jingcong said with reddened ears.

“Mm!” Fu Huai’an nodded, not standing on ceremony.

Zhang Jingcong stood before Fu Huai’an, not sure what to do. Shouldn’t this Mr. Fu stand on ceremony in such a situation?

“Can you leave now?”

Hearing Lin Nuan’s voice, Zhang Jingcong turned around and nodded at Lin Nuan, out of respect to a senior. According to age, Zhang Jingcong ought to address Lin Nuan as “Sister Nuan!”

Lin Nuan smiled and nodded. “All of us can see how hard you’re working! Keep up the good work!”

Zhang Jingcong’s face turned red in embarrassment. “Mm! I will, Sister Nuan…”

Fu Huai’an was there to fetch Lin Nuan, so Zhang Jingcong didn’t feel like imposing on their time. After bidding them farewell, he left on his crutch.

In the car, Fu Huai’an received a call from China, seemingly about work matters. Lin Nuan caught the words “Jiahe Corporation” and suddenly recalled Xie Jingqiu’s call to Fu Huai’an.

After Fu Huai’an hung up, Lin Nuan asked, “You have a collaboration with Dr. Su’s husband?”

Little Lu, who was in the driver’s seat, glanced at Lin Nuan through the rearview mirror, surprised that Lin Nuan actually knew about the matters in the Kaide Corporation. This was only finalized this morning. From the time the Jiahe Corporation’s President Tang Xi contacted President Lu Jinnan to the time Fu Huai’an came to fetch Lin Nuan, Little Lu hadn’t heard Fu Huai’an call Lin Nuan to tell her about this matter.

“Mm!” Fu Huai’an nodded as he slipped his phone into his pocket and held Lin Nuan’s hand. “I guess it’s a collaboration…”

He guessed?

Lin Nuan didn’t harp on this. Regarding Fu Huai’an’s work matters, Lin Nuan never asked too many questions, and neither was she curious about it.

The phone in her bag vibrated. Lin Nuan took it out and glanced at the number, but it was a number she didn’t recognize…

She answered the call. Chu Jiaoyang’s hysterical voice could be heard from the other end as she shouted at Lin Nuan. “Lin Nuan! You must be happy now! My cousin is dead now! You caused my cousin’s death! How can someone as vicious as you exist in this world?”

Lin Nuan removed the phone from her ear and glanced at her phone screen…

Chu Jiaoyang’s hysterical voice continued, “So what if she won a prize with the news you discovered? Isn’t it just a worthless piece of news! What right do you have to force her to her death? If you want money, we’ll just give you money! If you want fame, we’ll return it to you! What right do you have to get those netizens to scold my cousin like that?”

Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

Towards Chu Jiaoyang, Lin Nuan really had no idea how to describe her. This young lady seemed to feel that everyone on earth owed something to her Chu family, that whatever the Chu family wanted from someone, that someone ought to give them, or else they would be letting the Chu family down!

What Lin Nuan was surprised to hear was the line about her cousin being dead. Was Chu Xun… dead?

Chu Jiaoyang continued shouting at Lin Nuan in an aggrieved voice, but Lin Nuan could no longer bear to listen…

She slightly frowned and said in a calm and rational voice, “Firstly, to claim news that someone else found to be her own, then fabric some story about how heroic and fearless she was, that by itself is wrong. If even some trashy news can win a prize, why didn’t she just find herself some random news and win a prize herself? Moreover, I’m not the one who forced your cousin to her death. From the start to the end, I didn’t even make a single call to your cousin, never spoke a word to her. If she’s really dead, you can’t pin the blame on me!”

“You…”

“Speaking of money…” Lin Nuan didn’t even give Chu Jiaoyang an opportunity to speak. The instant Chu Jiaoyang opened her mouth, Lin Nuan interrupted her, saying, “Miss Chu, don’t ever talk about money in front of me. The thing I lack the least is money, because I’m Fu Huai’an’s wife!”

Little Lu, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, held back the urge to laugh. His lady boss was truly terrific…

Don’t ever talk about money in front of me. The thing I lack the least is money, because I’m Fu Huai’an’s wife! Was it really a good idea for his lady boss to flaunt their lovey-doveyness and wealth like that?

Little Lu willingly ate the dog food this time around!

Through the rearview mirror, Little Lu glanced at Fu Huai’an, who was seated beside Lin Nuan. He saw that Fu Huai’an couldn’t help smiling… his gaze full of gentleness.

Lin Nuan continued in her pure and pleasant voice, “Speaking of me getting the netizens to scold your cousin… Young lady, you really have a vivid imagination. I neither have that capability nor the right to control others’ actions. If you think you’re up to it, you can go and do it! It’s really beyond my capability…”

Chu Jiaoyang was in tears now. “If it wasn’t you, who else could it be?”

Lin Nuan ignored Chu Jiaoyang’s words. “One last thing. Regardless of where you got my number, stop calling me. Otherwise, I might get unhappy and upload the recording to the internet to let the netizens teach you how to behave!”
