Lin Nuan knows that such a business alliance often leads to unhappy marriages.

She also knew that Chu Xun just wanted to use her family background to force Lin Nuan to back down.

"If you really love Fu Huai'an, you shouldn't be a burden to him! Think about how awkward your position is in the Lin family. Even if you are their biological daughter, the Lin family is not strong enough to help Fu Huai'an," Chu Xun said before apologizing, "I'm sorry, I did a background check on you.

Lin Nuan didn't mind Chu Xun conducting a background check on her, because almost everyone in Haicheng knew her story.

Lin Nuan didn't respond except for pursing her lips. Her delicate face remained calm and peaceful. Chu Xun forced himself to stay calm and control his emotions. If she loses her cool in front of this young lady, it won't work.

She snuffed out the cigarette in her hand, picked up the juice bottle and took a sip before saying, "Lin Nuan, I'm not afraid to tell you frankly, I love Fu Huai'an, more than you think......"

When Chu Xun said this, there was a trace of fragility in his eyes.

"I am grateful to Fu Huai'an because he saved my life......"

Lin Nuan was taken aback. She didn't think that Chu Xun would open up to her and confess her innermost feelings, because they were just acquaintances.

Lin Nuan put the juice bottle on the coffee table before saying, "President......"

Chu Xun raised his hand to stop Lin Nuan from speaking, and then continued: "Let me finish!"

Lin Nuan pursed her lips, nodded, and sat there quietly.

"At the time, I was following a news lead that led me to Iraq. They were fighting at the time, and it was Fu Huai'an who saved my life! Chu Xun said, tears welling up in his eyes. "When you're on the verge of death, you don't experience feelings of despair, you can't understand how I feel. That's when he appeared in front of me, and you can't imagine my attachment to him...... I love him, I love him so much!

Chu Xun's words evoked Lin Nuan's memories of Fu Huai'an's time in Iraq—his tall figure stood against the light.

She lowered her gaze and stared at her white, slender fingers. She remembered how her legs had crumbled beneath her and how he had lifted her up with his powerful hands.

Chu Xun said in a stiff tone: "After dying on the verge of death, I feel like I have a new life, and I treat every day as if it were my last!" I won't give up on the man I love!

In fact, Chu Xun also has another secret hidden...... It's about Tuan Tuan!

In January 2014, Chu Xun was investigating a human trafficking trail when she somehow became stranded in war-torn Iraq. After passing through many secure areas, she eventually entered an area occupied by the forces of the anti-government Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate.

When she contacted the embassy, she was told to go to Samara. There is a heavy machinery and equipment company there, which belongs to the Jiang Group, and will arrange for them to be evacuated by helicopter.

On the evening of the 22nd, Chu Xun and his colleagues came to the venue. There, they met Jiang Ming'an, who was also waiting for a helicopter. They hoped they would get home soon, and the group waited there until late at night.

However, the helicopter did not arrive. Jiang Ming'an ordered some people to stay and let the others go back to rest. Jiang Ming'an asked Chu Xun and her colleagues if they would be interested in returning to the Jiang Group's company, where there were ammunition, medical supplies and rations to fill their stomachs. There are many others who have taken refuge there.

Chu Xun saw that her colleagues were hungry, and she agreed that they would all go to the factory with Jiang Ming'an. They can finally eat something and get a good rest.

All day on the 23rd, Chu Xun stayed in the factory, taking pictures everywhere, because she felt that these materials would be a piece of good news. When the helicopter takes them home, she can publish it in the newspaper with a sensational headline.

However, the helicopter did not appear on the night of the 23rd.

Chu Xun said worriedly.

In the early morning of the 24th, Lu Xiangsi gave birth to Tuan Tuan.

Early the next morning, Jiang Ming'an decided to let them evacuate. His eyes were bloodshot because he hadn't been able to get much sleep the night before. He led the first group, and they set out to find a safe route.

When they arrived safely, Lu Xiangsi could have set off with the children and the second batch of women and children to meet them.

But Jiang Ming'an's wife Lu Xiangsi chose to persevere to the end. Chu Xun was going to get in the car, but decided to stay at the last minute. She didn't want to give up covering all the available news materials; It's a waste.

Lu Xiangsi has taken many precious pictures of the evacuation of Jiang's employees.

They were the last to evacuate, but the outlaws launched a surprise attack just as they were about to leave, shooting and killing several young men. The criminals took guns and forced everyone to get out of the car.

This was the first time Chu Xun had been so close to death. Watching innocent people fall one by one, her heart was about to jump out of her throat. Her legs were shaking terribly and she needed someone to help her get out of the car. Her face was pale and bloodstained. She is the complete opposite of the confident and strong professional female self she usually portrays.

They were then surrounded by outlaws - murderers who killed many innocent lives - and held hostage at gunpoint.

Chu Xun didn't even have the courage to scream.

Her legs were weak and she knelt in front of her, her pupils trembling with fear, fearing that her life was coming to an end.

Once upon a time, Chu Xun once thought about how she could sacrifice her life in the name of journalism.

But on the verge of death, Chu Xun regretted that he had thought so.

She regretted that she had come to Iraq, and she regretted that she did not stay at home to live the easy life of the second daughter of the Chu family.

She was afraid that she would die, and there would be no more Chu Xun in the world.

The outlaws did not shoot at them as Chu Xun expected. The man next to the group leader spoke in broken English. He asked to know who Jiang Ming'an's wife and children were.

Chu Xun's heart pounded with fear.

No one in the group came out to identify Lu Xiangsi.

The leader of the outlaws said something in Arabic and fired several shots into the sky. Chu Xun felt his whole body tense, and his fear tightened all over his body. She screamed and fell to the ground, covering her head with her hands.

The leader turned his head to look at Chu Xun and walked towards her. He grabbed her by the collar and pointed a gun at her forehead.

Chu Xun shouted in despair. The man who could speak English said coldly: "Tell us who Lu Xiangsi is, and we will spare your life."

Chu Xun intuitively looked in the direction of Lu Xiangsi.

The moment the two met their eyes, Lu Xiangsi glanced back with her crystal clear pupils and stood up from the crowd.

The muzzle of the gun was aimed at Lu Xiangsi, and she raised her hands unyieldingly. A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. She stood in the bright sunlight, shining like a goddess in Greek mythology.

She said in fluent Arabic: "I am Jiang Ming'an's wife, Lu Xiangsi."

As she spoke, she slowly approached the leader of the terrorist organization and said, "Release the innocent ......"

The leader threw Chu Xun to the ground, turned around and pointed a gun at Lu Xiangsi's forehead. His gaze was cold and unforgiving. "Jiang Ming'an's woman, kneel! You must pay for your husband's sins. When you meet your maker, you can ask my brother's forgiveness!

Lu Xiangsi stared at the leader without flinching. She stood not far from him, unwavering in the face of death, and said firmly and calmly in Arabic: "Jiang Ming'an's woman will not kneel to anyone......"

Chu Xun closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look at this scene again. She heard the gunshots and felt guilty.

Over the years, she has struggled with insomnia and repeated nightmares. She was ashamed of what had happened.

After that, she was rescued by Fu Huai'an's special operations forces. During this time, she suffered a gunshot wound to her leg.

Because of her status, she received special recognition across borders and was able to return in the same helicopter as Fu Huai'an, who was taken to the same hospital.

At this moment, Chu Xun realized that he was the barrister, Fu Huai'an. He is even capable of commanding special operations forces!

She didn't dare to reveal to Fu Huai'an that she indirectly caused Lu Xiangsi's death.

It was precisely because of that casual glance that Lu Xiangsi died.

This is also the reason why Chu Xun took the initiative to compensate Tuan Tuan.

She can replace Lu Xiangsi and provide love and care for Tuan Tuan.

Although Tuan Tuan is a child of few words and is not easy to open up to others, Chu Xun believes that as long as she works harder, Tuan Tuan will accept her one day.

However, Chu Xun saw a photo of Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan on Fu Tianci's Weibo account.

She could tell that the photo was taken in the villa in Tianfuwan.

This is because she also bought a villa in Tianfu Bay in order to be closer to Fu Huai'an. Her villa is almost identical to Fu Huai'an's.

This photo was taken in a restaurant. Under the dim light, Lin Nuanhe's image of Tuan Tuan Tuan looked warm and affectionate.

Chu Xun was afraid that Tuan Tuan would like Lin Nuan!

Chu Xun was also afraid that Lin Nuan would show favor to Tuan Tuan in order to get close to Fu Huai'an. Perhaps, once she wins Tuan Tuan's heart, she will kick Tuan Tuan aside.

Chu Xun took out another cigarette. She realized she had put the lighter on the table and stood up and walked over to the desk.

"Tuan Tuan lost his mother, poor and miserable, I don't want to see anyone take advantage of him!" Chu Xun stood at his desk, picked up a lighter, and lit a cigarette.

She put down the lighter, leaned back on the table more confidently, and let out a long puff of cigarette.
