Mr Fu, I Really Love You
Chapter 69: The Show Would Be Crashed!

Once Bai Xiaonian finished speaking, Tang Zheng looked towards Lin Nuan. Just one cup of alcohol down, and Lin Nuan’s face and neck was already flushed with an unnatural shade of red.

Tang Zheng’s heart stuttered. He had planned to corner Lin Nuan and make her slightly drunk so that Fu Huai’an could come to rescue his damsel in distress and leave her with a better impression of himself. But if Lin Nuan was truly allergic to alcohol, the show would be crashed!

All it took was another short second for the small red rashes to appear on both sides of Lin Nuan’s face.

“Being allergic to alcohol isn’t a minor matter!” Tang Zheng stood up and picked up his box of cigarettes, lighter and car keys from the table. “I’ll send you to the hospital!”

“President Tang!” Bai Xiaonian was one step ahead of him and was already beside Lin Nuan, holding her up as she said, “You’ve been drinking so it will be inconvenient for you to drive. My car is parked downstairs, so sorry, I’ll be making my leave with Lin Nuan.”

Tang Zheng watched as Bai Xiaonian hurriedly brought Lin Nuan away, her bag already in hand. Tang Zheng refused to believe—even over his dead body—that Bai Xiaonian had thought of the escape at the last minute.

…

Once Lin Nuan got into the car, Bai Xiaonian took out the allergy pills and opened a bottle of mineral water for Lin Nuan.

“I’ve already asked before, and this medicine will not react with alcohol…”

Lin Nuan’s face was itching uncomfortably. She took the pills and mineral water Bai Xiaonian passed over and raised her head to swallow the pills, finding the very act difficult.

Only when she was properly seated in Bai Xiaonian’s car did Lin Nuan heave a sigh of relief, her body and mind exhausted as though she had just gone through a battle.

She could still feel the burn on her face and her bag was endlessly vibrating.

Bai Xiaonian thought that it was definitely the vice president calling to lecture them and she found the ringing annoying, saying, “Can’t he just properly sponsor you? It’s not like you’re all taking the sponsor for granted. Why should the money used up in advertising be taken back because he couldn’t feel up the female anchor? How shameless are they?”

Lin Nuan lowered her head and took out her phone from her bag. Seeing that it was Miss Xia calling, she picked up the call saying, “Miss Xia…”

“Is your face alright? If you can’t get on tomorrow’s broadcast, I’ll find a replacement.” Miss Xia’s voice remained calm..

Lin Nuan pulled down the mirror and took a look at her reflection. Based on past experience, she said, “I can make it tomorrow, it won’t affect the live show.”

“That’s good.”

Just as Miss Xia was about to hang up, Lin Nuan said, “Miss Xia, thank you for today…”

On the other side of the line, Miss Xia remained silent for a moment before replying, “Hurry to the hospital.”

The car ride from Jiangman Garden to Lin Nuan’s house took around half an hour, and because she took the medicine in time, once the medicine took effect Lin Nuan’s face quickly felt relief and the red dots on it gradually faded. Unless someone paid close attention, the marks were unnoticeable.

Unlocking her door and entering the house, Lin Nuan asked, “What do you want to eat?”

When they were drinking, both Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian didn’t even get to touch their chopsticks and they were both very hungry.

Bai Xiaonian didn’t reply. The whole journey when she was sending Lin Nuan home, Bai Xiaonian didn’t speak at all, until Lin Nuan asked her that question, and she then said, “I’m considering changing my job…”

Lin Nuan’s hands paused in the middle of placing her bag onto the shoe cabinet and she turned back to look at Bai Xiaonian.

Bai Xiaonian gave a relaxed smile and shut the door, saying, “Haven’t I always been writing for E.N magazine’s delicacies column? Their main editor keeps inviting me to join them so I plan to go over.”

Bai Xiaonian was the same as Lin Nuan—both couldn’t accept the unspoken rules in the industry.

The narrow space at the entryway was filled with silence.

“Stubbornly staying in this job for so long, I’ve seen everyone fight with their lives for a chance to show their faces on the screen, giving gifts… or even gifting their bodies. I find it boring.”

Bai Xiaonian looked towards the floor-to-ceiling window as she spoke, avoiding looking into Lin Nuan’s eyes.
