“What do you want to watch?” Lin Nuan asked Fu Huai’an as she stared at her phone with her head lowered.

Fu Huai’an tapped the steering wheel with his long finger and asked, “What’s showing recently?”

“Su Manman’s movie ‘Summer in Phoenix City’ is still showing. Why don’t we watch this to show her some support?” Lin Nuan twisted her head to look at Fu Huai’an’s side profile.

“I’m keeping you company today… let’s watch whatever you want to watch. But before we head to the cinema, let’s buy a cap, in case other people recognize you and they swarm you for an autograph…” Fu Huai’an turned to look deeply at Lin Nuan in between driving, his dark and seductive eyes exuding unlimited charm.

Fu Huai’an rarely had a day off, so he only wanted to have Lin Nuan all to himself and didn’t want to be bothered by strangers.

That one time, Lin Nuan was photographed and chased for an autograph at the pharmacy, and those photos had already been released on the web…

Fu Huai’an had always been sensitive to news regarding Lin Nuan. Even if it wasn’t clear from the start, it must’ve been made clear later on.

There were speculations on the web that Lin Chen was Lin Nuan’s boyfriend, and there were photos posted of Lin Nuan leaving together with Lin Chen in a car.

Miss Xia had originally wanted to make use of this news to raise Lin Nuan’s profile in the public eye, but Lin Nuan’s manager, Fang Yan, had rejected the notion without considering it. She said with Lin Nuan’s niche positioning in the industry that she shouldn’t be relying on such scandals to increase her popularity. She didn’t want to position Lin Nuan like those B- or C-list celebrities but was instead going for a righteous, high-end, elegant, wise, and courageous image.

Fang Yan said that now was the time for Lin Nuan to remain dormant and not reveal too much of her ability.

Immediately following that, there were clarifications that Lin Chen’s identity was, in fact, the current chairman of the Lins’ Corporation and also the brother Lin Nuan grew up with. They urged people not to make a fuss out of nothing.

That news was held down very quickly and didn’t cause many waves, being overtaken swiftly by other entertainment news the very next day.

Lin Nuan was aware of that news, so she nodded…

Lin Nuan was only a talk show host and wasn’t intending to go the celebrity route, so she wasn’t too bothered about scandals. But… the thing she truly cared about was Fu Huai’an. She was worried that he might become the subject of others’ gossips.

Regarding marriage, they had yet to hold a proper wedding ceremony. At least for now, Lin Nuan had no intention to reveal it to the public.

“Then, let’s go to the nearest Wanda Megamall, the one that’s on Yannan Fourth Road, two kilometers from here. We can eat there, then buy our caps at the mall, followed by a movie at five-ten. How does that sound?” Lin Nuan asked Fu Huai’an for his opinion.

“Let’s buy the cap first! If we’re discovered while we’re eating, we might get followed from there…”

Lin Nuan nodded and proceeded to buy the tickets for the five-ten showing on the WeChat official channel.

Fu Huai’an parked his car in the underground parking lot, in the spot right in front of the elevators. As Fu Huai’an unbuckled his seat belt, he said to Lin Nuan, “Wait for me in the car!”

Lin Nuan slowly removed her seat belt and saw Fu Huai’an getting out of the car, closing the car door with his backhand, then striding towards the elevator with those long legs of his.

The engine wasn’t turned off. The warm air blew upon Lin Nuan’s petite face, giving her a warm sensation, as well as feeling a little dry.

She reached over to lower the heat. Her left elbow was leaned on the car storage box as she scrolled through her phone while waiting for Fu Huai’an to return.

The elevator door opened, and Lin Nuan subconsciously raised her head to see if it was Fu Huai’an. However, what she saw was a burly middle-aged man dragging along a young lady dressed exquisitely and in heels. He had a sinister look on his face as he walked out.

Once out of the elevator, the girl flung away the man’s arms forcefully, a cold look on her face and her tone full of sarcasm. “Just because I call you dad, you really think you’re my father? How shameless! Why should I fill the hole of debt created by your son’s gambling? Why aren’t you looking for your birth daughter to repay the debt for your son? They’re the ones who are related by blood! Didn’t you say that even if you can’t repay the debt, selling one’s body can raise quite a lot of money? Let her sell hers! Why do you keep looking for me, your step-daughter? I’ve paid off the debts on his behalf time and time again, how many more times must I do it for him?”

The man turned green as he stood at the elevator door, glaring at the girl. Upon hearing the words “selling one’s body,” he gave the girl a tight slap across the face, such that she fell onto the floor. It wasn’t hard to see how much strength had gone into that slap.

The disparity in strength between men and women was great to begin with.

Lin Nuan’s brows furrowed, and she felt the impulse to get out of the car.

The man seemed to be enraged to the max, his chest heaving violently up and down. Merely slapping the girl to the ground didn’t manage to quell his anger. He raised his foot and was about to stomp down mercilessly…

“You cheap slut, you dare to ask my daughter to sell her body! What kind of a person is my daughter, and what are you anyway? You have the money to shop for branded goods in a mall but no money to pay off your brother’s debts? Have I raised you in vain? You either cough up the money today or go sell yourself at the brothel to pay off your brother’s debt. Or else… I will make sure your reputation stinks! I’ll see if you still have the face to work at the Kaide Corporation!”

Upon hearing the words “Kaide Corporation,” Lin Nuan moved her hand to the door handle and was prepared to get out of the car…

That girl suffered a few kicks from the man, but she was quite sharp too. When that man was about to kick her again, she summoned all her strength and headbutted the burly man, causing him to retreat quite a few steps.

Lin Nuan’s hand froze on the door handle.

She had never been a nosy person. Perhaps because the Kaide Corporation was related to Fu Huai’an, upon hearing those two words… knowing that the girl was an employee under Fu Huai’an, she couldn’t sit still…

Originally, she had thought that if the girl couldn’t handle the man on her own that she would get out of the car to warn the man that she would be calling the cops.

The girl got up and laughed coldly at the man. “Is our society not ruled by law now? Look at the way you can’t wait to play pimp and sell me to the brothel. It’s illegal, you know? One call to the cops… and you’d have to do time in prison! Don’t believe me? Let’s try…”

As she finished her words, the girl took out her phone…

That man took a look at the girl’s cold face, spat something about how unlucky he was, then left after telling the girl to watch it.

Lin Nuan retracted her hand from the door handle. She watched the girl’s expression suddenly turn from one of coldness to one of breaking down in an instant. Her phone-wielding hand suddenly fell limp, and her body slumped lifelessly against the elevator door. Then, tears started falling. She bent over, howling as she painfully tugged at her collar.

After a long time, Lin Nuan opened the car door and walked to the girl, handing her a packet of tissues.

The girl raised her head, and her reddened eyes stared at Lin Nuan. Her lips parted slightly. “Lin Nuan?”

Lin Nuan wasn’t too mindful of the fact that she was currently the wildly popular “A Sunday Date” host and that it was normal for people to recognize her.

Lin Nuan’s attention turned to the white gash on Lu Qili’s wrist. Sensing what Lin Nuan was looking at, Lu Qili let go of her collar and stood up…
