Chapter 1239: Said That He Admired Lu Jinnan a Lot
This meant that it was far more dangerous in the dark. Right now, Cen Mo was taking an increasingly headstrong stance, making those people wary toward him, ensuring that they didn’t dare lay a hand on him and the people around him!
Right now, in Morocco, Cen Mo had all of his attention focused on protecting his wife and kid. If others were to find out about Lin Nuan, Cen Mo would have one more weakness. He was scared that he wouldn’t be able to provide sufficient protection and wouldn’t be able to protect Lin Nuan.
It wasn’t that Cen Mo didn’t believe in Fu Huai’an, but that he had seen too many extremely dirty tricks in this circle!
Right now, Fu Huai’an was no longer the Mr. Moral he had been in the past.
Lin Nuan had dreams, and Cen Mo wanted to watch Lin Nuan take flight while he stayed in the darkest area.
This was probably the difference between how a man treated his lover and his family!
Toward his family, he wanted to protect her, wanting to see her fly increasingly higher. The higher she flew to, the happier he was.
However, toward his lover, he just wanted to keep her by his side at all costs. It’d be fine even if they didn’t do anything at all, just embracing each other day and night.
Cen Mo had great ambitions. He wanted to become the strongest person at the very top in this circle. He wanted to be the first in the circle to live to an old age safely!
He was working hard for this. Therefore, there were many times in which he couldn’t take care of Lin Nuan. He only hoped that Lin Nuan could avoid contacting him as much as possible so that other people wouldn’t learn of their relations.h.i.+p. With Haicheng being Fu Huai’an’s territory, those people naturally wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on Lin Nuan.
Before they ended the call, Tuan Tuan held onto the phone and called out “Uncle”. Cen Mo couldn’t hide his smile…
Even though Tuan Tuan was a nephew that wasn’t related to him by blood, he was Lu Xiangsi’s child, and now he was Lin Nuan’s child. Cen Mo liked this nephew a lot.
He answered Tuan Tuan and said to him, “You’re the older brother… a small man. You must take care of your younger sister!”
He didn’t want Tuan Tuan to be like him, having two younger sisters… but being unable to take good care of either of them.
Tuan Tuan was still young and didn’t understand the deep meaning behind Cen Mo’s words. He nodded, putting his mouth close to the phone and saying, “Okay…”
After hanging up the call, Lin Nuan rubbed Tuan Tuan’s small head. The kid crawled up onto the bed and laid down next to Yuan Yuan, looking at his younger sister and smiling foolishly.
The young lady chuckled as she sucked on her thumb. She then rolled over, not paying any heed to Tuan Tuan. She seemed to just want to quietly suck on her thumb.
Tuan Tuan wasn’t discouraged. He twisted his small b.u.t.t, got up, and moved over to the other side, laying down to look at his adorable younger sister. Yuan Yuan seemed to have been influenced by him. She also revealed her toothless gums and grinned. She touched Tuan Tuan’s face with her small hand that was covered in her saliva, but Tuan Tuan didn’t mind at all. He happily looked up and said to Lin Nuan, “Mama… Yuan Yuan touched my face!”
Lin Nuan nodded. “Yuan Yuan has always liked her brother the most!”
“Tuan Tuan too!” Tuan Tuan couldn’t wait to express his feelings.
Lin Nuan was looking at her son and daughter, who were playing on the bed, when the phone in her hand suddenly vibrated. It was a call from Bai Xiaonian. She smiled as she got up and went over to the sofa to pick up the call.
“Xiaonian, what’s the matter…”
“There’s something I need to beg for your help with!” The sound of Bai Xiaonian flipping the pages in a book rang out from the phone as she joked with Lin Nuan.
“It’s so serious that you’re begging me for help? It makes me scared to say yes!”
“I’ve realized that after you got married to Fu Huai’an, you’ve gotten more and more cheeky!” There was a hint of a smile in Bai Xiaonian’s voice. “The British amba.s.sador’s daughter likes you a lot. After learning about our relations.h.i.+p, she came to ask if she can visit you at work tomorrow. Is this request overboard?”
“It’s been a very long time since I last met you. After visiting me at work, let’s have a meal together…” Lin Nuan said to Bai Xiaonian. “Huai’an, myself, Xiao Liuli, and Xiao Liuli’s new boyfriend went to have hotpot together today. That place’s hotpot isn’t bad. I’ll take you to try it out.”
Bai Xiaonian had no idea that Jacob Bellucci was Gu Qingcheng. Hearing Lin Nuan mention Jacob Bellucci, she stopped flipping through the book. “I saw the endors.e.m.e.nt video. I didn’t take a close look previously, but I feel that Jacob Bellucci and Gu Qingcheng really look alike!”
Lin Nuan smiled when she heard this and subconsciously stroked her earlobe. “En, they are twins… of course they look alike!”
It wasn’t that Lin Nuan didn’t trust Bai Xiaonian, but it was better for there to be as few people as possible who knew that Gu Qingcheng was Jacob Bellucci.
“But does Jacob Bellucci know that Liuli previously liked Gu Qingcheng?” Bai Xiaonian was worried about Yun Liuli. “If he finds out, will he feel that Xiao Liuli is using him as a stand-in, will he… ”
“Xiaonian, if you have the energy to be worried about others, why don’t you show more concern for yourself?” Lin Nuan asked. “Uncle asked you to go for matchmaking sessions?”
Lin Nuan had heard about this from Mu Taotao this morning when she was doing her makeup.
Mu Taotao had bought a small 3-room apartment that had an exquisite interior. When she collected the keys on Sunday and got Little Lu to help her pick out furniture, she saw Bai Xiaonian and a young man chatting at a cafe. Out of curiosity, she sat near them and listened to their conversation.
Bai Xiaonian had pressed the United States’ spokesperson at the news conference in the United States in the capacity of Lu Jinnan’s wife, so Lu Jinnan and her were now seen by everyone as a couple with a strong relations.h.i.+p!
Mu Taotao worked alongside Lin Nuan and thus knew that Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan had fallen out with each other.
Mu Taotao only wanted to see if Bai Xiaonian was really planning on breaking things off cleanly with Lu Jinnan. She hadn’t expected for it to be true!
“Your news is really updated!” Bai Xianian smiled. “My dad has been going crazy trying to find me a partner. You don’t know what strange people I’ve been meeting! There’s one who actually asked me for Lu Jinnan’s signature… saying that he admires Lu Jinnan a lot. Don’t you think that this guy has a screw loose?”
“Do you still love Lu Jinnan?” Lin Nuan asked amidst Bai Xiaonian’s laughter.
Bai Xiaonian’s laughter suddenly seemed as if brakes had been applied, coming to an abrupt stop.
Bai Xiaonian, who was on the other end of the phone, stared at the book in her hand, not making a single sound as if she had lost her voice.
“You can’t even lie to yourself, so why continue to torment each other?” Lin Nuan tried to persuade Bai Xiaonian.
This was the first time Lin Nuan tried to persuade Bai Xiaonian after their conversation the other time.
If Bai Xiaonian had answered no when Lin Nuan asked her if she still loved Lu Jinnan, then Lin Nuan wouldn’t continue to persuade her. However, Bai Xiaonian hadn’t said anything.
“I have no idea what the thorn in your heart is because you’ve never told me about it! I’m guessing that… it’s probably related to Hong Jinyun!” Lin Nuan changed the topic calmly. It was as if she was just chatting casually with Bai Xiaonian. “Have you heard of Jincheng’s Xie Jingqiu?”
When Lin Nuan said this, she got up and threw a glance at the bed. There were some things… she didn’t wish to say before her children.
Seeing that her children were playing well together, she opened the door and headed outside.
“The Xie family that has been a reputable family for a century? I know. They are based in Wei City… They are doing quite well in the political world!” Bai Xiaonian replied. Her voice didn’t sound as clear as it was earlier, having a hint of hoa.r.s.eness to it.
