Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 827: Is Speaking the Truth Being Harsh?

“Of course! Of course Mr. Fu is worthy!” Miss Xia repeatedly nodded as she gazed at Fu Huai’an, who had both hands in his pockets, a pleased look written all over her face.

The quick-thinking Miss Xia wanted to push “Talking with Lin Nuan” to new heights with Fu Huai’an’s appearance on the show. However, she also wanted to let Lin Nuan bring up the topic of military personnel on the show by making use of the fact that Fu Huai’an used to be a soldier. This would do good for the ratings of the military-themed online show that they would be taking on.

When Peng Yanzhi heard that the guest was going to be changed, her expression looked even worse. “Miss…”

Fu Huai’an glanced in Peng Yanzhi’s direction. Intimidated by Fu Huai’an’s imposing aura, Peng Yanzhi dared not speak a word more. She clenched her fair hands together, her voice stuck in her throat.

Lin Nuan looked at Fu Huai’an with surprise and delight in her eyes and a bright smile.

“Huai’an…” Zhang Ruomin wanted to speak with Fu Huai’an, yet she was mindful of the fact that they were in the midst of a show recording, causing her to be caught in a dilemma.

She had once proposed to Fu Huai’an during an awards ceremony, and today, Fu Huai’an had appeared there. Not to mention, Lin Nuan was Fu Huai’an’s wife. She had no idea if “Talking with Lin Nuan” would edit this part out, but she knew for sure that the variety show wouldn’t!

It was a reality TV show, so how could they miss out on the chance to publicize their show by making use of such an explosive talking point?

Fu Huai’an nodded at Zhang Ruomin in a polite yet distant manner. “Miss Zhang…”

Him calling her Miss Zhang made it clear that he regarded her as no more than a mere acquaintance.

Several other celebrities who were part of the variety show couldn’t help lamenting about how faithless men were. Fu Huai’an sounded so distant, addressing his ex as Miss Zhang now that he was with another woman.

However, Lin Nuan’s fans felt that Fu Huai’an was a good man who was rare to come by because he managed to draw clear boundaries with other women after he got married!

Zhang Ruomin held back her emotions, curling up her lips, feigning magnanimity. Wanting to gain a good reputation of someone able to let go of things, she said, “Although we didn’t get married, we should still be considered friends. You sound too distant, calling me Miss Zhang…”

“Miss Zhang, your words are too ambiguous. I’m afraid that I’m going to have a hard time explaining things to my wife tonight.” Fu Huai’an’s gaze was deep and calm, not hiding anything, and his low and mature voice sounded calm too. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Ruomin’s video journalist.

The video journalist understood what Fu Huai’an was implying and was forced to turn off the camera by Fu Huai’an’s imposing aura. The director also turned off the ear mic.

Only then did Fu Huai’an say to Zhang Ruomin, “Miss Zhang’s words at the award ceremony… the only reason I never stood out to explain things was because I felt there wasn’t a reason to do so. Today, I’m married and have a wife. For Miss Zhang to raise this matter before my wife, I have no choice but to explain things to my wife clearly. Miss Zhang and I met at a dinner because a friend wanted to pair us up. Hence, I sincerely tried getting to know Miss Zhang. Including today, we have met a total of six times, and on all of those occasions, there were others present…”

“Several years ago, before Miss Zhang attended the award ceremony, I made things clear before my friends, that the two of us weren’t suitable for each other. I thank Miss Zhang for once admiring me, though it was wrongly placed! My wife gets jealous easily, so today, I hope to take the chance to explain things in my wife and Miss Zhang’s presence.”

Lin Nuan was very surprised to hear this. She used to think that they should have at least dated each other for Zhang Ruomin to put everything at stake and propose to Fu Huai’an at the award ceremony.

Suddenly recalling how, at the award ceremony, Zhang Ruomin had said that she fell for Fu Huai’an at first sight, Lin Nuan subconsciously looked towards that tall and broad man.

Zhang Ruomin hadn’t expected for Fu Huai’an to spare her no face at all when he spoke!

She tightened then slowly released her fists. Actually, all along, she had known that Fu Huai’an was a heartless man…

Back then, after Fu Huai’an told Zhang Ruomin that the two of them weren’t suited for each other, she was depressed for two days before appearing at the award ceremony looking glamorous and vibrant. She decided to go all out and propose to Fu Huai’an, hoping to force him to appear. Even if they couldn’t get married then… she at least hoped that it would make him try dating her!

Zhang Ruomin was outstanding in appearance, family background, and level of fame. So long as it was a normal man, she believed that if a man heard how she was willing to give up everything for him at the height of her popularity, the man would be touched and at least appear in order to spare her the embarrassment.

But later, although Zhang Ruomin sent Fu Huai’an countless messages, he replied to none of them…

She even lowered her stance and begged Fu Huai’an to just come and fetch her so that she wouldn’t have to suffer embarrassment, saying that she wouldn’t hope for anything more!

But later, it was Fu Huai’an’s assistant, Little Lu, who called Zhang Ruomin.

Little Lu passed on a message from Fu Huai’an, saying that the reason he didn’t turn up was so as not to give her any false hope. Also, Fu Huai’an didn’t want any man to have concerns about courting Zhang Ruomin in the future… thinking that they had a marriage agreement.

Zhang Ruomin hung up the call and cried as her assistant escorted her away from the set of the award ceremony.

Recalling the events of that night, even Zhang Ruomin’s tongue shivered…

Perhaps getting the video journalist to turn off the camera and the director to turn off the mic was the kindest gesture Fu Huai’an could show to her.

Despite that, the celebrities on the variety show with Zhang Ruomin still heard this. All of them looked incredulous with disbelief!

All along, whenever Zhang Ruomin was mentioned, one would think of Fu Huai’an, and whenever Fu Huai’an was mentioned, one would think of Zhang Ruomin. Everyone had thought that the two of them shared an enigmatic relationship!

Especially that year, when Zhang Ruomin suddenly announced her departure from the showbiz, the public had many speculations about Zhang Ruomin and Fu Huai’an’s relationship! Some of Zhang Ruomin’s fans even called Fu Huai’an a scumbag.

In the end, it turned out that Zhang Ruomin’s confession at the award ceremony was nothing but a solo act. It was no wonder that Fu Huai’an didn’t show up now that things were made clear!

Downstage, the audience couldn’t hear what Fu Huai’an was saying, and they were all anxiously discussing it among themselves.

Zhang Ruomin forced back her tears and gazed at Fu Huai’an. “I don’t know what I said to make Mrs. Fu misunderstand. Everyone knows that I proposed to you back then. You didn’t accept my proposal, and we didn’t get married, but does that mean we’re no longer friends?”

“When I told Miss Zhang that we weren’t suited for each other back then, what did I say that made Miss Zhang misunderstand and think we could become friends?” Fu Huai’an asked in turn.

Zhang Ruomin paused in surprise…

Usually, when one rejected a person, they would friendzone the latter and say something like “we can still be friends”!

However, carefully thinking about it, back then, Fu Huai’an indeed said nothing of the sort.

Zhang Ruomin bit her lip, nearly unable to hold back her tears.

“Are you really… going to be so harsh with your words?” Zhang Ruomin’s tears started slipping down her face. She was unable to hold them back anymore.

Fu Huai’an’s voice was calm and indifferent, a puzzled look in his eyes. “In Miss Zhang’s eyes, is speaking the truth being harsh?”

Zhang Ruomin couldn’t say a single word to rebut Fu Huai’an. What Fu Huai’an said… was indeed nothing but the truth!
