Chapter 979: Making a Call to Lu Jinnan
Fu Huai’an’s vision swept over the phone screen. He lowered his head and seriously rinsed the shaver, then said, “Set it aside. I’ll answer it after I’m done shaving…”
Lin Nuan set the phone aside. When she turned her head, she saw Fu Huai’an shaving seriously at a close distance for the first time. She asked, “Want to let me try?”
Fu Huai’an, who was holding the shaver, saw the enthusiastic Lin Nuan, so he handed the shaver to her with a smile…
Lin Nuan felt pretty nervous with a shaver in her hand. She was shorter, so even when she stood on her tiptoes, she wasn’t able to reach Fu Huai’an’s chin. With flushed ears, she said, “I can’t reach you…”
Fu Huai’an laughed softly, then lifted Lin Nuan and placed her on the sink amidst the ringing of his phone. He then propped his hands on Lin Nuan’s sides and bent over… His masculine and handsome features were enlarged before Lin Nuan’s eyes.
Lin Nuan leaned back slightly to dodge, unable to hide the smile on her lips. Ignoring the remnants of shaving cream on Fu Huai’an’s face, she cupped his handsome face and kissed upon it. Now, her just-washed face and hands were covered in foam.
After a gentle kiss, Lin Nuan was like a girl who had secretly eaten candy, her smile especially sweet. She cleared her throat and picked up the shaver that had foam on it. “Then, I’m starting for real…”
Lin Nuan had just touched Fu Huai’an’s face with the shaver when her wrist was grabbed by Fu Huai’an’s large calloused hand. His peppermint-scented scalding lips that had bits of foam on them came pressing down…
Her lips were pried open by Fu Huai’an’s hot and nimble tongue. The passionate kiss came urgently and ferociously. Lin Nuan was kissed until her neck grew hot, and her heart felt like it was about to leap out of her chest. She was clearly extremely out of breath… yet her nerves were overwhelmed by Fu Huai’an’s mature and masculine scent. She was unable to breathe autonomously.
He gripped Lin Nuan’s knees with both hands, squeezing his muscular body between her knees…
Lin Nuan’s heart rate had reached an extreme. She felt hot steam emerging from her body, intertwining with the scent from Fu Huai’an’s body. It almost made her melt.
Lin Nuan once again recalled how Fu Huai’an had told her that he was addicted to doing this thing with her. Now, Lin Nuan herself was infected. She, too, had a serious addiction. It was as if the instant she touched Fu Huai’an, her blood would boil inside of her, making her neither able nor willing to kick the addiction.
She felt… that she likely wouldn’t be able to leave Fu Huai’an in this lifetime!
An unavoidable intense session of lovemaking ensued. By the time they were done, Lin Nuan felt so exhausted that she wasn’t able to do anything.
After placing Lin Nuan on the soft and large bed, gently caressing her long hair, and watching her fall asleep, Fu Huai’an got up and returned Xie Jingqiu’s call.
All these years, Xie Jingqiu and Fu Huai’an chose not to contact each other if possible…
After all, the instant the duo met, they would recall Jiang Ming’an and Lu Xiangsi’s deaths, so it was better for them not to see each other or talk over the phone.
Fu Huai’an walked to the balcony and dialed Xie Jingqiu’s number. Very quickly, someone picked up.
“Sorry, the phone was on silent mode, and I didn’t hear it,” Fu Huai’an explained.
Xie Jingqiu seemed to be busy on the other end. Fu Huai’an could hear the sound of documents flipping…
“Chu Fangzheng of the Chu Group found Tang Xi. They took out the Chu Group’s most profitable project, wanting the Jiahe Corporation to become a shareholder.”
Xie Jingqiu’s rich voice was calm, making one unable to detect any emotions. One could only hear the sound of a lighter striking on the other end.
“So? Is the Jiahe Corporation planning to become a shareholder?” Fu Huai’an stared at Lin Nuan, who was sound asleep under the gentle lighting, one hand in his pocket. He sounded extra distracted.
The lighter was thrown on the desk, making a soft thud. Only then did Xie Jingqiu say leisurely, “Fu Huai’an, let’s cooperate… and swallow the Chu Group, shall we?”
It was really foolish of Chu Xun’s father, Chu Fangzheng, to seek out the Jiahe Corporation!
Based on the relationship between Xie Jingqiu, Tang Xi, and Jiang Ming’an, after finding out about how Lu Xiangsi died, how would they become a shareholder because of that little bit of profit? How would they be willing to be the Chu Group’s backer?
There was a hint of a smile in Fu Huai’an’s deep eyes. “Setting a trap?”
“The willing party takes the bait…” Xie Jingqiu’s voice was as calm as usual.
When they saw the video of Lu Xiangsi being shot, it was impossible for Xie Jingqiu and Tang Xi not to feel anything…
Lu Xiangsi had been by Jiang Ming’an’s side since she was little. Lu Xiangsi was almost always present at their gatherings, so Lu Xiangsi sort of grew up with Xie Jingqiu and the rest. Although they had never had a deep conversation before, they did have some ties.
Moreover, because of Lu Xiangsi’s death… Jiang Ming’an fell into despair and ended up seeking revenge using a suicidal method. When he died, he was burned and reduced to a pile of scorched ground. Fu Huai’an could only take a handful of mud back and mix it with Lu Xiangsi’s ashes.
It wasn’t that Xie Jingqiu had no idea Tuan Tuan was Jiang Ming’an and Lu Xiangsi’s child, and it wasn’t that he had never paid attention to Tuan Tuan. All these years, other than Fu Huai’an’s men by Tuan Tuan’s side, there were also men arranged by Xie Jingqiu.
However, that time at the kindergarten, when there was an attempt to abduct Tuan Tuan, Xie Jingqiu’s men discovered that there was an elite team protecting Tuan Tuan, so he withdrew his men.
Since Tuan Tuan was raised by Fu Huai’an’s side, at every important moment as he grew up, although Xie Jingqiu wasn’t present personally, he would have photos of them.
The reason he didn’t get near Tuan Tuan was that he was afraid that when he saw Tuan Tuan, he would think of Jiang Ming’an. Also, he feared that excessive interaction would make others grow suspicious of Tuan Tuan’s identity…
It was no secret that Lu Xiangsi was pregnant back then. There were also plenty of employees at the Jiang family’s heavy machinery and equipment company who were aware of Lu Xiangsi giving birth!
However, those people were indebted to Jiang Ming’an and Lu Xiangsi’s kindness, and later, Fu Huai’an also offered them money to get them to sign confidentiality agreements. Hence, no one ever talked about this matter.
Xie Jingqiu didn’t wish for complications to arise. Fu Huai’an and Xie Jingqiu’s identities were special to begin with, and the media loved to circle around them for news.
If Xie Jingqiu visited Fu Huai’an’s son all the time for no good reason, others would surely suspect something.
After Fu Huai’an and Xie Jingqiu reached an agreement, he hung up…
…
Chu Xun sat behind the sofa in her condo for several hours before making a call to Lu Jinnan…
Among Fu Huai’an’s many friends, Chu Xun and Lu Jinnan were previously somewhat on talking terms.
But when she called, the one who picked up was Bai Xiaonian!
The instant that Bai Xiaonian heard Chu Xun’s voice, she started scolding her, saying, “I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you! Did it feel fantastic betraying your savior? You dare to claim the award that you got by stealing someone else’s work? Aren’t you embarrassed? The saying goes ‘without skin, the tree will die, but without face, the man can beat anyone else.’ From how I see it, Miss Chu is invincible in this aspect!”
“I want to talk to Lu Jinnan! Hand the phone to Lu Jinnan!” Chu Xun said to Bai Xiaonian, restraining her own emotions.
“Lu Jinnan, that Chu b*tch wants you to answer the call…” Bai Xiaonian shouted.
“What do I have to talk about with that b*tch?”
Although he was far away, Chu Xun could tell that it was Lu Jinnan’s voice.
