Chapter 522: Do You Want to Eat?

This was like a silent invitation, causing Fu Huai’an’s gaze to turn darker, his breathing becoming more rapid.
Fu Huai’an couldn’t hold it back any longer. He lowered his head and kissed Lin Nuan on her neck, gently sucking on it. Lin Nuan was afraid there might be a visible kiss mark on such a conspicuous spot on her neck and that it would be difficult to explain it to Tuan Tuan should he see it, so she gasped, “Fu Huai’an! What are you doing by the roadside!”
Unable to retract her hands, which were still held firmly in place by Fu Huai’an, Lin Nuan quickly turned her head around. However, her lips were still caught by Fu Huai’an. Then it was another long and deep kiss.
“Let’s go home! En?” Fu Huai’an’s forehead leaned against Lin Nuan’s. “You’re my poison, and my addiction is acting up… en?”
Fu Huai’an’s magnetic voice caused one to drown within it, and willingly so.
Their noses met, gently grazing against each other. Gooseb.u.mps rose all over Lin Nuan, her breathing even more rapid than previously. Her lips slightly parted, wanting Fu Huai’an to rub his lips gently against hers.
No surprises there, Lin Nuan was once again bewitched.
The sound of the phone’s vibration grew louder. She clenched her pet.i.te hands, her fingernails digging into the tender flesh; the mild pain caused her to come back to her senses.
She said, “Answer the call first. After you’re done with the call… let’s go home!”
Lin Nuan was no longer the innocent girl who hadn’t entered society. Having experienced s.e.x, and furthermore, facing such a masculine and bewitching man like Fu Huai’an, who could stay in control?
With such a reply, Fu Huai’an let go of Lin Nuan and sat back into his seat.
Lin Nuan brought the seat back to an upright position and fixed her messy hair.
There was already a thin layer of sweat on her body; her hair also stuck to her neck. Only after several strokes did she gather all those stray locks of hair.
Fu Huai’an saw Lu Qili’s name on the screen of his phone and smirked. Lu Qili was indeed relentless.
Through his peripheral vision, he saw Lin Nuan biting onto the rubber band on her wrist, using her fingers to tie her hair up. He answered the call and put it on speakerphone in front of Lin Nuan in an aboveboard manner.
“Yes…”
“Huai’an, Fu Tianci’s mother came to look for me today!” Lu Qili sounded anxious. “She knows Tuan Tuan’s ident.i.ty. She also says she knows how your stepmother in that Jiang family caused you and Sis Xiangsi to let each other slip by because you were undercover when you were in the special forces. Is that true?”
Lin Nuan, who was tying her hair up, glanced towards the screen of the phone held in Fu Huai’an’s hand.
The blue light from the screen illuminated Fu Huai’an’s chiseled features. Seeing Fu Huai’an’s usually calm eyes contract slightly, Lin Nuan felt her heart in her throat.
Lin Nuan knew about Fu Huai’an serving in the special forces…
The first time she met Fu Huai’an, he had appeared in front of her as a member of the special forces.
“Did she find you just to tell you this?” Fu Huai’an’s voice was calm.
On the other end of the line, Lu Qili was momentarily silent after getting no reply from Fu Huai’an. “She told me to give you a message. If you don’t wish for anything to happen to the people around you, don’t fight with Fu Tianci for the Kaide Corporation that doesn’t belong to you in the first place. Otherwise, there’ll be plenty of people willing to pay money to buy information on you!”
There was suddenly a glint of a smile in Fu Huai’an’s eyes. He calmly said, “Then you can tell her that she can go ahead and try! I don’t care…”
“Huai’an!” Lu Qili was very anxious.
“If it’s something like this in the future, I won’t trouble you to call me! I hope Miss Lu can forget about this number from now on. It’s troublesome to change a work number.” Fu Huai’an looked up as he replied. Seeing the worried look in Lin Nuan’s eyes, he smiled. “Your phone calls will make my wife very unhappy. It troubles me to see my wife unhappy!”
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
Why did he drag her into this?
Fu Huai’an’s explicit show of affection caused Lin Nuan to temporarily forget about the danger mentioned in Lu Qili’s call.
Seeing Lin Nuan’s mouth twitch, Fu Huai’an’s smile broadened. “That’s all…”
Fu Huai’an hung up the call and tossed the phone onto the console. With one hand on the steering wheel and looking at Lin Nuan, who was now fixing her fringe after tying her hair up into a low ponytail, his mind was full of what Lu Qili had just said.
Fu Huai’an’s information was absolutely confidential in the national security system. Fu Huai’an was once an undercover, but when he wrapped up his operations, he killed every single person that shouldn’t be left alive. Even Fu Huai’an’s ident.i.ty from that time was made to look like he had received the death penalty and had been executed. That was so Fu Huai’an could lead a safe life in the future.
Fu Tianci’s mother could play some tricks in front of men, but she certainly wasn’t capable of discovering such cla.s.sified information!
Fu Huai’an didn’t take this so-called threat to heart.
She was likely making accusations on hearsay.
Otherwise, based on Fu Tianci’s mother’s character, she would have approached Fu Huai’an personally, or even approached Lin Nuan. She wouldn’t test him through Lu Qili…
“Satisfied?” Fu Huai’an asked Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan fixed her hair and her clothes, then turned her head sideways and gazed at Fu Huai’an. “Don’t push everything on to me, I wasn’t unhappy at all.”
“You say one thing but think another!” Fu Huai’an said as he started the engine and turned on the winds.h.i.+eld wiper. After several swipes from the winds.h.i.+eld wiper, the winds.h.i.+eld was clear again. “I still prefer the you in bed, where you’re more honest.”
After he flicked on the turning signal, he got on the road.
At the mention of her being honest in bed, Lin Nuan’s neck blushed. She wrapped the jacket around her firmly, turning her head sideways to look outside the window, pretending she had heard nothing. However, there was a thin layer of sweat on her palms.
The rain in Haicheng seemed to be getting heavier. Lin Nuan leaned against the genuine leather seat and listened to the light music coming from the stereo, gradually feeling sleepy.
“There’s cake in the backseat. Don’t fall asleep yet. If you’re not full, you can fill your stomach with that…”
Fu Huai’an had noticed that Lin Nuan hadn’t eaten much today. Afraid that she hadn’t eaten her fill, he reminded her of the cake bought earlier that day, the cake Tuan Tuan forgot to take out of the car.
At the Night Palace, Lin Nuan didn’t eat much. Her mind was full of nonsensical stuff, and it affected her appet.i.te. After that intense kiss with Fu Huai’an, she indeed felt hungry now.
Lin Nuan held her seatbelt and turned her head around. Indeed, there was a cake box in the backseat.
She lengthened the seatbelt a little and extended her arm… grabbing the cake box with much difficulty. She then placed it in her lap and opened it up.
“Do you want some?” Lin Nuan asked.
Fu Huai’an sneered. “Too sweet…”
She opened the cake box and found a piece of strawberry cake inside—Tuan Tuan’s favorite.
Lin Nuan looked at the dashboard; Tuan Tuan should have fallen asleep by this hour. It wasn’t a good idea to leave the cake until tomorrow; it would be better just to buy Tuan Tuan a fresh slice.
Lin Nuan picked up the strawberry atop the cake with a fork and sent it into her mouth. “On the one hand, you’re asking Tuan Tuan to go on a diet; on the other, you’re buying him cake. You’re truly a father who says one thing but thinks another!”
Fu Huai’an was rendered speechless.
