Chapter 785: Lin Nuan Had Never Considered This

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Gu Qingcheng took the phone and gripped it with his long fingers, staring fixedly upon Lin Nuan with a deep gaze.

After a long while, he asked, “If you have to live in trepidation like this for the rest of your life with Old Fu, Lin Nuan… are you still willing to stay by his side?”

Lin Nuan looked up, her eyes meeting Gu Qingcheng’s. There was a sophisticated and calm look in his eyes from his life experiences. His gaze was so calm that it gave off a highly imposing feeling.

Gu Qingcheng asked the question in a serious tone, and Lin Nuan couldn’t react for a moment. Her mind was all jumbled up…

If she had to live in trepidation like that for the rest of her life? Lin Nuan had never considered that.

The incident arose because Li Muyang had wanted to see her. If Li Muyang and Ah Zhan went berserk, who knew what they would do next?

Lin Nuan felt that she ought to be the one asking Fu Huai’an that question!

Having a wife who constantly gave him trouble, was Fu Huai’an still willing to stay by her side?

Before she could sort out her thoughts, Fu Huai’an had returned with snow all over him.

He removed his snow-stained knitted jacket and handed his leather gloves and scarf to a servant. He fixed his black eyes on Lin Nuan. The warm lighting in the house and Lin Nuan were reflected in his black eyes, which didn’t hide his deep affection.

There were certain emotions that felt as if they were going to erupt the minute Lin Nuan saw Fu Huai’an.

With her body moving faster than her brain, Lin Nuan got to her feet, the shawl slipping from her shoulders as she took a step forward. Yet, in consideration of the fact that there were others around, she halted in her actions as if she suddenly froze. She didn’t run into Fu Huai’an’s arms, but a hot sensation hit her eyes, and her nose stung.

Fu Huai’an saw how Lin Nuan yearned to run into her arms yet was restraining herself. He strode towards her and slowly pulled her into his embrace, his well-defined jaw resting upon the top of her head.

Lin Nuan’s nostrils were filled with Fu Huai’an’s masculine scent, mixed with the faint smell of nicotine. It was such a pleasant smell that it messed up her breathing, yet it put her heart at ease at the same time.

Seeing this, Gu Qingcheng shot the others a look and had everyone else leave the living room on the first floor with him.

Inside the living room, it was so quiet that they could only hear each others’ breathing.

Smelling the faint scent of shampoo from Lin Nuan’s hair, Fu Huai’an pulled her in even closer, then asked in a low voice, “Were you startled?”

Lin Nuan nodded, then shook her head. After wiping away her tears with the clothing on Fu Huai’an’s chest, she looked up at him. “I knew that Ah Zhan wouldn’t hurt me, so I wasn’t scared! But, seeing you arrange so many people around me, I was afraid that you might be in danger but are keeping it from me! Sending the people meant to protect you over to my side!”

Fu Huai’an gazed at Lin Nuan’s misted up eyes. Although he could now see that she was safe and secure, when he thought of how Ah Zhan threatened her, he felt a choking sensation in his chest.

He held back his heavy breathing as he lowered his head and kissed her dry and slightly chapped lips, familiarly prying open her teeth.

Lin Nuan stood on her tiptoes, moving her hands up Fu Huai’an’s back, up to his firm shoulders, accommodating Fu Huai’an’s aggressive and experienced hot kiss.

His lips felt hot, but his nose was particularly cold.

After a long and lingering kiss, Lin Nuan felt her feet grow numb and sore.

She leaned her forehead against Fu Huai’an and turned red in the face. She lowered her gaze, but the light flutter of her eyelashes could barely conceal her shyness.

Being tightly embraced by Fu Huai’an, the realness of his warmth was enough to soothe her panicky heart.

Although the kiss stirred her, it wasn’t to the point where her head spun. She asked Fu Huai’an, “Is Haicheng equally as unsafe as overseas? Is your identity in danger of being exposed at any moment? Is it like Li Muyang said, that those people haven’t given up testing your identity? Are they all in Haicheng?”

Lin Nuan firmly gripped Fu Huai’an’s clothes, a sense of fear in her heart.

Fu Huai’an cupped his hands around Lin Nuan’s petite face and caressed her smooth skin with his thumbs, gently kissing her at the corner of her lips. The man’s hot breath grazed past her lips, and she heard him say, “Don’t worry, it’s none of the stuff that you’re worrying about. I merely arranged these people to protect you, as a precautionary measure against Li Muyang!”

Her petite hand was on the back of Fu Huai’an’s large hand. Lin Nuan closed her eyes and pressed her face firmly against his slightly calloused palms.

“I’ve brought you trouble…” Lin Nuan sounded a little stiff. “And implicated Fu Tianci!”

Fu Huai’an nodded mockingly and whispered in her ear, “Then, Mrs. Fu should give me some benefits tonight. Let’s play with that new wedding gift that Xie Jingqian gave you!”

Hearing Fu Huai’an talk about that so abruptly, Lin Nuan wasn’t sure whether she should laugh or cry. She slapped Fu Huai’an’s back in annoyance. “Be more serious! Don’t play gangster!”

There was a warm smile in Lin Nuan’s pure and clean eyes, like sugar-coated haws with honey, sweet with a hint of sourness.

The gloominess in Fu Huai’an’s heart started to dissipate. After gazing at Lin Nuan for a long time, he gently pressed her head to his chest and hugged her tightly.

Having been startled, Lin Nuan was in a high-strung state for several hours. Right now, being held in Fu Huai’an’s arms, when she finally managed to relax, the exhaustion began setting in.

“I’m tired…”

Beneath Lin Nuan’s palm was Fu Huai’an’s strong and forceful heartbeat. She knew… that he was still hiding something from her and wasn’t willing to reveal it.

But Lin Nuan no longer had the strength to press him for it.

Lin Nuan also didn’t have the energy to mull over the question Gu Qingcheng asked her earlier. Perhaps because the question had never appeared in Lin Nuan’s mind, perhaps because she felt that Fu Huai’an loved her the same way she loved him, but with the exception of death… what else could tear them apart?

“I’ll take you upstairs to rest!”

“Will you carry me upstairs?” Lin Nuan looked up, an unreserved dependency on Fu Huai’an in her eyes.

“Acting coquettish?” There was a smile in Fu Huai’an’s voice.

Lin Nuan nodded.

Under the sparkling chandeliers, she was bewitched by Fu Huai’an’s mature and handsome features, and the masculine scent on him. She wanted to hold him by his narrow waist forever and never let go.

…

With Fu Huai’an’s entry into the board of directors as the largest shareholder, the first one to explode was naturally Lu Qingmei.

In the Fu manor, Lu Qingmei had smashed an entire set of vases.

Seeing Lu Qingmei sitting on the sofa with her chest violently heaving up and down, the servants carefully cleared away the broken pieces and dared not even breathe heavily.

Lu Qingmei had thought that so long as Fu Qingquan handed all of his shares to Fu Tianci, then the mother-and-son duo would be able to control the entire Kaide Corporation!

But now, how did Fu Huai’an suddenly hold 53.4% of shares in his hands? Even more than Fu Qingquan!

Lu Qingmei vaguely suspected that Fu Huai’an had used some despicable means to cheat Fu Qingquan of all of his shares, or perhaps part of his shares!

This was only Lu Qingmei’s speculation, for before she got to see Fu Qingquan, she couldn’t be sure.

Lu Qingmei, who was supposed to be on vacation for the day, couldn’t sit still. She changed into her formal wear and planned on heading to the Kaide Corporation.
