Chapter 1203: Was Her Husband’s Show of Jealousy That Great?
The two of them were squeezed on the single-seater sofa. Fang Yan was all smiles as she pointed at one line in the script and said something, whereas, on the other hand, Lin Nuan was frowning.
Fu Huai’an handed his jacket to a servant before walking towards the living room. He heard Lin Nuan say, “It’s not that I don’t think well of the script, but I feel that I’m not that good at acting. Especially since I’ll be playing the female lead of an ancient drama… all the more I won’t be able to act well! Can you tell Director Hu… that I can go and guest-star as some random character. My profession isn’t acting, so this is too hard for me!”
By Director Hu, Lin Nuan was referring to the director of “The General”.
“Are you silly or what? All these years, how many people have been vying to work with Director Hu? Just count using your own fingers! All these years, the movies that Director Hu directed, which of them didn’t win awards?” Fang Yan tried to brainwash Lin Nuan.
“But I’m not an actress!” Lin Nuan looked up at Fang Yan, not sure whether to laugh or cry. “Back then, when I acted as the female lead in ‘Eagles on the Sea’, I agreed because the scenes I had to film were pathetically few, and you said it would help in building my public persona.”
“Lin Nuan, can you be a little more ambitious!” Fang Yan poked Lin Nuan’s head. “Look at how likable the female lead’s character is in this drama!”
“But I’m a show host…” Lin Nuan paused and changed her argument. “With so many best actors and actresses waiting to work with Director Hu, why is he insisting on looking for me? Did you do something behind my back?”
Fang Yan was rendered speechless.
Fang Yan rolled her eyes at Lin Nuan…
“You were the one who snagged Liuli’s role in ‘The General’. It must be you… Sister Yan, you deliberately did me in!” Lin Nuan, who was usually calm and steady, rarely said something so aggrieved.
Fu Huai’an saw Lin Nuan’s girly mannerisms and lively expressions, and he couldn’t resist standing at the entrance of the living room, gazing at his little bride with a smile on his face.
Fang Yan poked Lin Nuan’s head again. “Do you think Director Hu’s movie is a public toilet which I’m guarding the entrance of? Do you think I can let whoever I wish enter? Liuli managed to snag this role because, firstly, Director Hu finds Liuli’s appearance striking. Secondly… it’s so that he can talk terms with me to get you to take up this movie!”
“Why don’t I introduce Manman for this movie… Manman has always wanted to work with Director Hu!” Lin Nuan said.
Fang Yan sighed again. “Director Hu told me that the reason he’s offering you this role is that you’ve seen real war in Iraq… Hence, you’ll be able to act with more depth than others!”
Speaking of Iraq, Lin Nuan slightly put away her joking manner.
“Director Hu also said that acting comes from experience. If one acts based on experiences… it’s far more convincing than imagining you’ve experienced something like that! This is why he insists on using you!”
Lin Nuan didn’t rebut Fang Yan’s words this time. “Then I… will take a look at the script first!”
“Look at the script first and properly consider it. If you agree, I plan to get Xiao Liuli a role in this movie too!” Fang Yan said
Lin Nuan nodded. “I got it…”
Fang Yan looked up and saw Fu Huai’an standing outside the door. “Mr. Fu…”
Fu Huai’an nodded before walking in. “Are you going to let Xiao Nuan take up a movie?”
Perhaps because she was afraid Fu Huai’an might reject, Fang Yan said with a smile, “There are no intimate scenes in this movie…”
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
Was her husband’s show of jealousy that great?
Fu Huai’an nodded. “Okay… then let Xiao Nuan take a look at the script first!”
Fang Yan glanced at her watch. “It’s getting late, I’d better go first. Remember to take a good look at the script! Give me a reply by tomorrow night at the latest… Director Hu is waiting anxiously for a reply!”
All these years, Director Hu hadn’t produced many movies, only filming one every two to three, perhaps even three to four years.
This time, he had begun casting “Red Rivers” right after filming wrapped up for “The General”. Perhaps that really went to show that the scripts of these two movies were excellent!
After sending Fang Yan out, Lin Nuan anxiously asked Fu Huai’an, “How is Gu Qingcheng’s brother?”
“He’s fine. Bai Jinyu said he didn’t injure vital parts!” Fu Huai’an held Lin Nuan’s shoulders and walked back into the house. “Yun Liuli is taking care of Jacob Bellucci in the hospital now, don’t worry!”
Lin Nuan nodded. “Then… have you found out who tried to kill Jacob Bellucci?”
Fu Huai’an shook his head. “We aren’t Old Gu, who had many methods to check. But… based on our judgment, for that person to be able to retreat unscathed while fighting against so many top experts, his identity probably isn’t simple!”
Lin Nuan halted in her steps. She looked at Fu Huai’an nervously. “What should we do? Will sending Jacob Bellucci back to Venice be dangerous?”
Fu Huai’an nodded. He smiled at Lin Nuan, holding her hand as they went upstairs. “We persuaded Jacob Bellucci to stay in the country for the time being. Else, if he’s in Venice and out of our reach, we can’t guarantee his safety. Sheng Kang also explained what Old Gu used to do to Jacob Bellucci, including which enemies he had. Jacob Bellucci was perhaps frightened, so he agreed to stay here for now!”
“Will he be staying at the Fu residence?”
Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an’s voices gradually became more distant…
The servant who was clearing away the teacups that Fang Yan and Lin Nuan used earlier looked up at the staircase before taking them into the kitchen.
Once they returned to their room, Lin Nuan closed the door and said with a smile to Fu Huai’an, “With Gu Qingcheng moving into the Cloud Top Condominium, Xiao Liuli should be extremely happy!”
Fu Huai’an smiled and removed his watch. He loosened his tie and said, “Next, we’ll be scanning in ‘Jacob Bellucci’s’ fingerprint at the apartment. Someone on Tang Zheng’s side might want to compare Old Gu and Jacob Bellucci’s fingerprint…”
“Is there a way to deal with that?” Lin Nuan asked.
Fu Huai’an nodded and explained it to Lin Nuan in detail, “There’s this especially thin film that one can stick on their finger. You can’t see or feel it, and so long as you have the fingerprint mold, you can leave whoever’s fingerprint wherever you wish…”
The team member who had been assuming Jacob Bellucci’s identity had been wearing this thin film all those years in Venice.
Otherwise, if someone had the intention to check, from minute details like fingerprints, the cat would be let out of the bag.
Fu Huai’an’s subordinates had always been cautious.
“I feel that the things you’re describing seem to be from a sci-fi movie, like the high-level technology you see in them!” Lin Nuan smiled and retrieved Fu Huai’an’s home clothes to hand it to him.
Fu Huai’an held Lin Nuan’s wrist and pulled her into his arms. “All technology originates from mankind’s imagination and needs. Since there’s a need, naturally, someone will study it.”
Lin Nuan nodded in agreement.
The smile in Fu Huai’an’s eyes intensified. He lowered his head and pressed his thin lips against Lin Nuan’s ear. “I have sexual needs, the kind you haven’t experienced…”
