Chapter 1 — I am no longer anyone's ladder

Updated 10/08/2026 5 min read

In order to pamper the intern, my fiance publicly confessed his love throughout the city. I immediately withdrew the support agreement worth 10,000,000,000 yuan. One day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I took a flight to Nancheng. I planned to surprise my fiance, Luc Thua Chu. We've been in love for six years. As long as he completes the handover of the Nam Thanh branch, the two will return to Van Chau to hold the wedding. The taxi driver was very lively. As soon as the car turned onto the riverside road, he smiled and asked:

"Are you here to meet your lover?"

"The timing is right. This year Nam Thanh organized the Love Confession Lantern Festival, Truong Dieu Group fully sponsored, the whole city was filled with a happy atmosphere."

I also smiled. Luc Thua Chu... is the son most respected by the Chairman of Truong Dieu Group. The driver pointed towards the giant LED screen on the riverbank.

"Look at that screen."

"What a talented and beautiful young man. I heard that he is the owner of Truong Dieu Group and his fiancee."

I looked in the direction you pointed. On the largest electronic screen on the riverbank. Luc Thua Chu was bowing his head, gently tying the tassel of a lamp for a young girl. The girl raised her head to look at him. A radiant smile as if the whole city was being held in the palm of one's hand. The red text below made my eyes hurt.

"The leader of Truong Dieu Group - Luc Thua Chu and his fiancee Hua Niem An, respectfully invite you to the romantic confession season of the whole city."

In a city I've never been to. My fiance... I also have another fiancee. I calmly opened the phone. Send mom a message.

"Support agreement with Truong Dieu Group..."

"Don't stamp for now."

Just put the phone down. Luc Thua Chu's message has been sent. 【Nam Chi, the Light Festival project is so urgent, I have to stay awake tonight. I already asked someone to send my ring to Van Chau. Wait for me to come back, we will go register the marriage right away.】 Below is also attached a photo of a brightly lit office. The photo is real. It is also true that he is at the project site. Borrowing that same project to publicly declare to the whole city that another woman is his fiancee... It's also true. The car stopped in front of the Nam Thanh branch of Truong Dieu Group. The hall was filled with red lanterns. On the reception desk is a row of heart-shaped candy boxes. Each box has a photo of Luc Thua Chu and Hua Niem An printed together. As soon as I got to the ticket gate, I heard a burst of laughter. Several female employees surrounded a girl in a white dress and walked out of the elevator. She is Hua Niem An on the big screen.

"Nien An, your fate is so good. You've only been interning for three months and you're already being pampered by General Director Luc as your fiancee."

"Can this be called a good number? It should be called General Director Luc's good eye for people. Their family's Niem An is so pure and lovely, who wouldn't like it?"

"The main images of the campaign The Whole City Vibrates are two people. Waiting for the light festival to open tomorrow, everyone in Nam Thanh will not know that she is the future young lady of Truong Dieu."

Hua Niem An bowed her head and smiled, each box of candy in her hand was handed out one by one.

"Thua Chu said I was cowardly and insisted on standing up have my back. I can't stop you either."

A curly-haired woman standing next to her immediately continued:

"Don't stop me. After you marry into the Luc family, remember to send me to the event room to be in charge."

Hua Niem An stuffed the candy box into her hand.

"I will tell Thua Chu. He listens to me the most."

Some people laughed loudly. I stood outside the ticket gate. Watch them hand out boxes of candy to the guards. Watching the receptionist write the three words Hua Niem An on the guest registration board. Originally, Luc Thua Chu did not have the qualifications to sit in the position of heir. A few years ago, Truong Dieu suffered consecutive losses. The Luc family ran to Van Chau to pray everywhere. My mother respected her old love and gave the Luc family a way to live. Also give Luc Thua Chu a chance to prove himself. She only gave one condition. Six years before the wedding, if Luc Thua Chu kept his duty, the On family would hand over the next step of cooperation to Truong Dieu. Everyone up and down the Luc family knew about this. Only Luc Thua Chu does not know how to appreciate it. The ticket gate made a "whisper" sound. I scanned the temporary pass code and walked inside. The curly haired woman suddenly raised her hand to stop me. The candy box in her hand almost hit my sleeve.

"Who are you? Didn't you see Niem An coming over?"

I stopped walking.

"I go first this way."

She looked at me from head to toe.

"Come from somewhere else, right? When you come to Truong Dieu, learn some rules. Ms. Niem An is CEO Luc's fiancee, will you lose a piece of meat if you give in a little?"

Hua Niem An walked over. His voice is as soft as candy wrapper.

"Stop arguing. Maybe she doesn't know who I am."

She looked at me.

"Which department do you belong to? What are you doing here?"

I took out my employee card from my pocket.

"Yunzhou Headquarters Office, Wen Namzhi."

The smile on Hua Niem An's face stopped for a moment. The curly haired woman snatched my employee card. After reading the name, her expression immediately changed.

"Wen Nam Chi?"

Hua Niem An stared at me. The gentleness in his eyes seemed to be torn apart.

"It turns out you are the old classmate who kept clinging to Thua Chu and refused to let go."

She swung her hand and threw the candy box at my chest.

"You still dare to chase me all the way to Nam Thanh."

The candy box fell to the ground. Wedding candy rolled all over the floor. The laughter in the hall immediately died down. Dozens of eyes simultaneously looked over. The curly haired woman responded the fastest. She pointed straight at me and said loudly:

"Everyone, look clearly, this is the woman General Director Luc has been avoiding for half a year. Relying on his seniority at the Van Chau Headquarters Office, he used his work to force General Director Luc to meet him every day."

Hua Niem An's eyes turned red. But every word spoken was clearer than anyone.
