Mr Fu, I Really Love You

“Oh…” Auntie Li caught on. “Hai, my bad. I called Madam before I had a complete picture of the situation!”

“Auntie Li, I’m very grateful to you for caring about Xiao Liuli so much. That child is like a younger sister to me. It’s really been tough on you all this while!”

After ending the call, Lin Nuan heard Mu Taotao, who was helping her put on makeup, laugh as she asked, “Did Xiao Liuli get what she wanted?”

Lin Nuan set her phone on the dressing table and nodded.

Previously, when Yun Liuli followed Lin Nuan to her show recordings, she developed a friendship with Mu Taotao. Mu Taotao liked that Yun Liuli was pretty, and especially since the two young ladies both knew some martial arts, they had a common topic.

When Mu Taotao learned that Yun Liuli liked the Gu Qingcheng whom Mu Taotao considered out of reach and stern-looking, Mu Taotao wanted very much to see Yun Liuli snag Gu Qingcheng.

“Tsk tsk… I really want to see Mr. Gu’s expression!” Mu Taotao smiled in an up-to-no-good way.

Lin Nuan’s head was lowered as she read her script. Hearing Mu Taotao say that… thinking of how Gu Qingcheng always kept a straight face, she also said, “I want to see it too!”

Before the recording started, Lin Nuan called Fu Huai’an and told him what Auntie Li said to her. “So, I feel that Gu Qingcheng should have gotten together with Xiao Liuli.”

On the other end, Lin Nuan heard Tang Zheng’s voice…

“Damn, Old Gu is too fast! I haven’t even settled Candy’s mom, and he has already snagged Xiao Liuli. They clearly looked like they would be the last pair among us to get together! Lu Jinnan… are the two of us too slow!”

“I’m different from you. We’re different!”

Hearing Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng’s voices, Lin Nuan’s smile broadened. “I need to record a show here, so I’m hanging up first!”

“Okay!” Fu Huai’an answered. “I’ll go back earlier in the afternoon!”

“Right…” Lin Nuan raised a hand and tucked her hair behind her ear, saying, “I asked Xiaonian to have a meal at our place this afternoon. You should see if Lu Jinnan is free to come over!”

“Okay, I’ll tell Lu Jinnan!”

“Do you even need to ask? Old Lu will surely go!” Tang Zheng’s voice was especially clear, sounding as if he was next to the phone.

“Old Fu, give the phone to me!” Tang Zheng snatched the phone from Fu Huai’an and said to Lin Nuan, “Sis-in-law, help me ask You Nainai out too! Can I join you guys at dinner at the Fu residence tonight?”

Lin Nuan glanced at You Nainai, who wasn’t far from her, then nodded. “Nainai will send me back later, and I’ll help you make her stay!”

“Then why not ask Xiao Liuli and Old Gu over as well? And Bai Jinyu and Xu Wanwan… Those two aren’t good friends! They didn’t even treat us to a meal after registering their marriage! I need to lecture them later!” Tang Zheng sounded enthusiastic.

Originally, Lin Nuan had planned on cooking herself today. But since so many people were coming, she had to get the kitchen to make arrangements in advance.

“Okay, then you guys contact Gu Qingcheng, Bai Jinyu, and the rest. I’ll call back home to make the arrangements. Then, I need to start recording the show!”

In order to accommodate the guests’ schedules, she had to record two shows today and was thus very busy.

“Sure, Sis-in-law, don’t worry!” Tang Zheng said.

It had been a while since the group of them gathered. The last time they got together was at Yuan Yuan’s full month birthday celebration.

Now that they were in Haicheng, and since Fu Huai’an was the only one who had settled down, they naturally held their gathering at the Fu residence.

Lin Nuan had just called home to make the necessary arrangements when she saw Fu Tianci peering into the recording studio wearing a baseball cap and shades.

Fu Tianci had become an up-and-rising and highly popular singer. With his pretty-boy looks that looked straight out of a comic, he had won over many girls’ hearts and had fans all over the globe.

Even many ladies in Lin Nuan’s agency were fangirls of Fu Tianci. She heard that their biggest motivation for coming to work was the chance to bump into Fu Tianci at the agency.

“Sister Nuan!” The director’s assistant called out to Lin Nuan, indicating for her to prepare to start recording.

Lin Nuan nodded. She handed the script to Mu Taotao and made a gesture to wait, then walked towards the entrance of the studio.

The instant Fu Tianci saw Lin Nuan, he grinned at her, revealing his pearly white teeth. “I came here to record a show. I heard that you were here today as well, so I came over to take a look!”

Lin Nuan looked behind Fu Tianci and asked with a frown, “Where’s the assistant that Sister Yan arranged for you?”

Fu Tianci, this child, was too good at getting into trouble, giving Fang Yan a headache. Although she said she was arranging an assistant for Fu Tianci, in actual fact, it was arranging someone to make sure Fu Tianci stayed out of trouble.

“The assistant that Sister Yan arranged for me, she…” Fu Tianci found it hard to say what he was going to say. He fidgeted a little before telling Lin Nuan, “Well… that Auntie Wu who takes care of Mu Mantong, she pushed the assistant that Sister Yan arranged for me down the stairs from the second story. It happened last night. She was sent to the hospital, and the doctor said that she broke her nose and fractured her little finger!”

Lin Nuan’s brows furrowed. She had an impression of Mu Mantong. Lin Nuan had seen her at Fu Tianci’s engagement party to her previously. She could tell that the girl was very smart, the sort who was scheming and diplomatic.

“How are you planning to handle this?” Lin Nuan asked.

Fu Tianci shook his head. “I don’t know, that’s why I’m here to look for you!”

“What did your assistant say? Does she wish to sue?” Lin Nuan asked.

“Well, she didn’t say…” Fu Tianci’s brows were knitted. “Auntie Wu audaciously pushed her down simply because I have a marriage agreement with Mu Mantong. I’ve really tried to like Mu Mantong, but… I just don’t feel anything towards her. I swear it’s not because she’s wheelchair-bound! I don’t mind the fact that Mu Mantong can’t walk, I can be friends with her, but I’m really unable to like her!”

“So?” Lin Nuan pressed. She felt that Fu Tianci already had his own thoughts about this.

“I want to cancel the marriage agreement, but with my dad’s health, I’m afraid he’ll be driven to his grave if I ask!” Fu Tianci sighed. “Can you get Fu Huai’an to handle this matter?”

“Why don’t you call Huai’an and ask him?”

“I don’t dare to! I’m scared of him!”

Fu Tianci hid nothing in front of Lin Nuan, saying it as it was. “Help me ask! If it doesn’t work, I’ll think of another way! Canceling the marriage agreement will do Mu Mantong good too. Since I’m unable to like her, I don’t wish to hold her up!”

More importantly, Fu Tianci didn’t want to let the Mus tell him what to do using the marriage agreement as an excuse!

It wasn’t the first time that Auntie Wu did something nasty to Fu Tianci’s assistant, but Fu Tianci didn’t dare speak up. Even the manager that Fang Yan arranged for Fu Tianci previously had quit the agency because Mu Mantong was unhappy with the fact that his manager was a woman. Afraid that Fu Tianci would develop feelings for her over a long time of interacting, she persuaded and cajoled the manager with veiled threats…
