Chapter 515: No One Treats Me Better Than He Does
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On this silent night, Wen Mos.h.i.+ very much enjoyed standing around and talking with Lin Nuan just like this. His heart felt an unprecedented sense of calm and stability…
Wen Mos.h.i.+ turned his head to look at the tranquil-looking Lin Nuan, his throat slightly vibrating. Although he knew he shouldn’t be asking this, he still did, “Does Fu Huai’an treat you well?”
When Lin Nuan turned back to meet Wen Mos.h.i.+’s gaze, her lips naturally turned up, her eyes appearing as if they contained the brightest stars in the world.
A cool breeze blew by. Lin Nuan raised a hand to tuck the loose strands of hair behind her ear and smiled as she nodded. “En! No one treats me better than he does…”
Although she was still feeling annoyed with Fu Huai’an at heart, Lin Nuan was unwilling to say words that betrayed her conscience. Fu Huai’an treated her well, and it wasn’t just as a show to others.
Wen Mos.h.i.+ nodded, feeling happy for Lin Nuan. But at the same time, he couldn’t help feeling miserable, as if tiny needles were p.r.i.c.king his heart.
He turned around and leaned against the rails on the stairs of the balcony, gazing at Lin Nuan. “I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but the only daughter of the Mus of Pengcheng is about to get engaged to that illegitimate son of Old Master Fu. The date is fixed for the day after tomorrow. It seems like Old Master Fu is planning to make this a grand affair. Even our Wen family has received the invitation. I heard many less-known corporations in Haicheng also received an invitation. Do you think Old Master Fu has made up his mind regarding your husband…”
Wen Mos.h.i.+ halted in his speech.
Lin Nuan looked surprised. Regarding Fu Tianci’s engagement, she had vaguely heard of it before. However, she had always thought that, with Fu Tianci’s character, this matter surely wouldn’t go through successfully, so she didn’t think much about it. Unexpectedly, this turned out to be true?
Fu Tianci was still so young—an engagement? Would Fu Tianci be willing?
Seeing the look of surprise on Lin Nuan’s face, Wen Mos.h.i.+ tried to change the topic again. “Then… you won’t be attending Granny Lin’s birthday banquet tomorrow, right?”
Lin Nuan hesitated for a moment before nodding. “It’s unfair to Lin Ran if I appear again. People will inevitably put Lin Ran and me up for comparison. It’s meaningless.”
Wen Mos.h.i.+ nodded understandingly, and he was about to say something when his phone rang. He frowned as he took it out and glanced at it, then he frowned even harder.
“You go do what you need to. I’ll take a breather here before returning to the suite!” Lin Nuan looked up and gazed at Wen Mos.h.i.+ as she spoke.
Wen Mos.h.i.+ didn’t want to leave actually; he was feeling incredibly vexed, but he had no choice but to get his spirits up to face it. He didn’t want to reveal his vulnerable side in front of Lin Nuan, so he nodded to her. “It’s cold out here, don’t stay for too long!”
Wen Mos.h.i.+ had just finished saying those words and had yet to leave before they heard someone say, “Yo… Young Master Wen is hiding here secretly meeting a beauty, eh!”
Lin Nuan and Wen Mos.h.i.+ both turned to look at the source of the voice. It was a man in his thirties, and his eyes sparkled upon seeing Lin Nuan.
Wen Mos.h.i.+’s expression changed suddenly, and he hurried towards him with a smile on his face. “Young Master Mu, sorry I’ve been out for so long! Let’s go… I’ve asked the manager to bring you a few pretty girls to drink with you!”
“What need is there to look for pretty girls? Isn’t there one standing right here?” That man pushed away Wen Moshen’s supporting arm and stared right at Lin Nuan, looking like he was going to walk straight towards her.
Wen Mos.h.i.+ blocked her with his body, but that man still managed to recognize Lin Nuan. “Aiyoh! Isn’t this the host of ‘A Date Today,’ Lin Nuan! That’s a famous person!”
Lin Nuan frowned. Before that man got close, Lin Nuan could smell the stench of alcohol on him. She couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath and correct him that it was “A Sunday Date” instead. She stood there, silent.
“Young Master Mu! Young Master Mu!” Wen Mos.h.i.+ blocked the man’s way with his body. “Lin Nuan is my friend. Plus, you know Lin Nuan is already Mrs. Fu—she has married the Kaide Corporation’s President Fu. It’s not appropriate to ask her to drink with you. The day after tomorrow, your cousin will be getting engaged to Young Master Fu. When that happens, you’ll be considered family. It’s not too late to have a drink together then!”
“Family? Don’t joke around! What the h.e.l.l is Fu Huai’an! How dare he claim to be a family with us Mus! Wait until Young Master Fu marries my cousin, the Kaide Corporation will have nothing to do with Fu Huai’an! Will I be scared of him? Even if I were to sleep with his wife today, he wouldn’t dare to make a sound! Stop getting in my way!”
Lin Nuan flared up the moment she heard this. How dare this piece of trash say something like what the h.e.l.l is Fu Huai’an!
Young Master Mu had too much to drink. He pushed Wen Mos.h.i.+ away and reached out to grab Lin Nuan.
Wen Mos.h.i.+ tried his best to stop him from doing so. Lin Nuan knew this was the Night Palace’s territory, and there were surveillance cameras around. The employees of the Night Palace would absolutely not allow something to happen to their guests on their premises. At the thought of this, she got bolder. She clenched her fists and charged up, raising her hand…
Before the slap could land on that detestable face, Young Master Mu suddenly fell backwards.
Lin Nuan was frozen for a moment. It was the dark-faced Fu Huai’an. He single-handedly grabbed the tall and burly man by the back of his neck and pulled him backwards in one forceful move; that man was hurled towards the ground.
“I f*ck your…”
Fu Huai’an glanced sideways, looking downwards at Young Master Mu, who was on the ground. Young Master Mu ultimately didn’t say that last word.
Fu Huai’an’s handsome and steady face didn’t appear enraged. His mature facial features were deep and unfathomable; one couldn’t tell his emotions from his face. But the coldness he exuded from having been in the battlefield-like business world all these years was evident; his imposing manner made a chill run down one’s spine.
Wen Mos.h.i.+’s heart was beating especially fast now. He panted as he gazed at Fu Huai’an. Before he could let out another breath, he saw Fu Huai’an’s well-polished leather shoe step on the area between Young Master Mu’s crotch, his face expressionless.
The heart-wrenching cry of pain resounded throughout the entire Night Palace.
Wen Mos.h.i.+ widened his eyes and stared at Fu Huai’an, a look of disbelief on his face, his eyes clearly spelling out the fear he was feeling within.
Lin Nuan felt her heart in her throat too. But when she recalled how Young Master Mu had insulted Fu Huai’an just now, she felt the hatred rising in her.
Wen Mos.h.i.+ didn’t know that, in the past, Fu Huai’an was one who killed without batting an eye, much less making someone impotent.
Fu Huai’an was never a morally perfect person with a sense of justice.
Wen Mos.h.i.+ stared at Young Master Mu, who had pa.s.sed out from the pain and was lying in a pool of urine. He was shocked by Fu Huai’an’s brutal way of handling this incident.
Wen Mos.h.i.+ didn’t know Fu Huai’an’s connection with the Night Palace, but he noticed that the employees of the Night Palace had come over quickly to clear up the mess made by this Young Master Mu. Even those who came out to watch the fun didn’t get to see Young Master Mu.
This was Wen Mos.h.i.+’s first time meeting Fu Huai’an face-to-face.
Where age was concerned, Wen Mos.h.i.+ was younger, and so he wasn’t as mature and steady as Fu Huai’an.
Where aura was concerned, Wen Mos.h.i.+ all the more couldn’t compare to Fu Huai’an, who had a wealth of experiences. Even if Fu Huai’an were to stand there without saying a word, the imposing and powerful sense of aura given off by Fu Huai’an had the silent effect of crus.h.i.+ng one’s cranial nervous system.
