Chapter 564: Lin Nuan Was Indeed Popular Now
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
No matter how brave Lin Nuan was, she was but an ordinary little woman, she too would get scared when she encountered something like that.
But Fu Huai’an was by her side, and he said everything was okay. Lin Nuan was willing to believe that things would be okay.
“Mama is fine! Really!” Lin Nuan lifted Tuan Tuan, then turned her head to smile at Fu Huai’an. “I’m really fine now! It’s okay… let’s set off now! I’d feel more relaxed if we go out and have fun!”
Since Lin Nuan insisted, Fu Huai’an didn’t object. The group of them set off for The Lost Chambers Aquarium.
On the way there, Bai Xiaonian discreetly asked Lin Nuan if she had fought with Fu Huai’an.
Lin Nuan shook her head and told her about the car accident on the streets of Dubai yesterday, a.s.suring her that she got a scare because she was worried about Fu Huai’an. She didn’t mention a word about Qin Zhe.
Bai Xiaonian appeared speechless as she stared at Lin Nuan. “With the little guts you have, how did you make your way to Iraq back then?”
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
When they got to the aquarium, Lin Nuan tightly held hands with Fu Huai’an, as if fearing that if she were to loosen her grip, Fu Huai’an would disappear.
Little Lu was in charge of taking care of Tuan Tuan, and the two of them had already run ahead.
Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan walked a little behind Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan.
Lin Nuan gripped Fu Huai’an’s large hand tightly with one hand, holding onto his arm with the other.
“Why are you holding me so tightly? Are you afraid I’ll run away?”
Fu Huai’an joked in order to soothe Lin Nuan’s tense emotions.
Lin Nuan turned her head to gaze at Fu Huai’an, nodding solemnly. “En!”
Fu Huai’an could sense the uneasiness she was feeling.
During the past twenty years of her life, Lin Nuan had already lost too many things that she cared about. It wasn’t easy for her to meet Fu Huai’an, the Fu Huai’an who loved her so much, so she began to feel anxious about losing him.
She was scared, scared that she might lose everything she had now…
“Did you get a scare from yesterday’s events?”
Lin Nuan didn’t deny it.
Fu Huai’an gripped Lin Nuan’s pet.i.te hand tightly as he led her forward. “I promise you, in the future, I’ll call you in time and not leave you unable to contact me!”
“You said it yourself!” Lin Nuan spoke childishly.
Fu Huai’an held her close. “I said it myself! Qin Zhe… it’s not every day that I b.u.mp into Qin Zhe. It was merely a coincidence this time around! When have you ever seen me put myself in danger?”
Lin Nuan lowered her head and looked at her feet, which were moving forward one after the other. For that kind of danger, once was enough to make Lin Nuan feel trepidation.
“This is Dubai, and the language spoken is Arabic, so it will inevitably invoke memories of what happened in Iraq. It’s normal for you to feel scared.” Fu Huai’an kissed the top of Lin Nuan’s head. “Let’s set off for Venice tonight! The scenery there is wonderful… it will help you relax.”
Lin Nuan didn’t know if what Fu Huai’an said made sense, but she still nodded.
Anyway, Lin Nuan truly didn’t wish to stay in Dubai.
By the time they were done at The Lost Chambers Aquarium, Tuan Tuan’s head was covered in sweat.
Lin Nuan squatted before Tuan Tuan and handed him a cup of water, then started helping him wipe his sweat.
Tuan Tuan slurped down the water with a straw, his grape-like large eyes staring at Fu Huai’an, who said they would be preparing to leave for Venice after lunch.
Bai Xiaonian was a little surprised to hear Fu Huai’an mention they would prepare to leave for Venice. “We’re leaving now? Haven’t we just arrived?”
“The scenery in Venice is more beautiful…” It was rare for Fu Huai’an to open his mouth and explain things to Bai Xiaonian.
Bai Xiaonian frowned, but when facing a man with such a powerful aura, she didn’t have the guts to rebut.
Little Lu had made a reservation at the hottest restaurant, Dubai Mall’s Texas Roadhouse, way in advance.
The Texas Roadhouse restaurant was patronized by more of their fellow countrymen. The moment they were seated, Lin Nuan could hear the familiar mother tongue. She glanced at her surroundings and saw that there were indeed many Chinese nationals around. This put her heart slightly at ease.
Perhaps it was just as Fu Huai’an had said, that because they were in Dubai and the Arabic language was spoken, her nerves had tensed up.
Lin Nuan’s psychiatrist, Lu Hanzi, had said that Lin Nuan was still traumatized due to the events that took place in Iraq…
It was noon, and the suns.h.i.+ne was perfect.
The sun’s golden rays shone on the Burj Khalifa fountain, and the surface of the water sparkled in the sunlight. The strings of pearl-like water droplets appeared as magnificent as diamonds under the sun.
Lin Nuan turned her head and watched as the crystal-like water droplets splattered out from the fountain, squinting because her eyes weren’t adjusted to the piercingly bright sun rays.
Under the suns.h.i.+ne, Lin Nuan’s skin appeared so fair and tender that light bounced off of it. The curves of her neck seemed to glisten with a gentle glow under the sun rays, appearing particularly attractive…
Tuan Tuan looked up at Lin Nuan and saw that there seemed to be a red mark under Lin Nuan’s light green collar. He frowned and stood up with the support of his hands on the chair, then pulled at Lin Nuan’s collar with his little hand, blowing on it for her.
The child’s soft lips were nearly pressed onto Lin Nuan’s neck; the hot air that he blew out swept over Lin Nuan’s neck and startled her such that she turned around, her lips sweeping past Tuan Tuan’s nose.
Tuan Tuan’s ears reddened. He pointed at the red kiss mark on Lin Nuan’s neck, waving his little hand. “Hoo hoo, it doesn’t hurt…”
Lin Nuan supported Tuan Tuan, who was standing on the chair, with one hand, while pulling at her collar with the other, embarra.s.sed.
The top she was wearing was made of a silky fabric. That cooling collar could only vaguely hide the kiss marks; so long as one paid attention, they would be able to see them.
Tuan Tuan moved his face towards Lin Nuan’s neck and wanted to blow on it for Lin Nuan.
Bai Xiaonian held her laughter back as she told Tuan Tuan, “Tuan Tuan… Your mama doesn’t hurt there!”
In her peripheral vision, Lin Nuan could see Fu Huai’an sitting with his legs crossed, leisurely leaning against the wooden chair and acting like none of it concerned him. She lied to the kid with her ears reddened and heart thumping wildly. “Mama was bitten by a little bug. It’s a little itchy, but it doesn’t hurt…”
Lu Jinnan, who just drank a mouthful of coffee, directly spat it all out.
“I’m sorry!” Lu Jinnan drew a tissue and wiped his mouth. He couldn’t resist coughing. “Cough cough cough…”
Lu Jinnan glanced at Fu Huai’an subconsciously. Bitten by a little bug? That little bug was really big!
“Red!” Tuan Tuan insisted, his heart aching for his mother.
Lin Nuan braced herself and forced herself to smile. “Mama doesn’t hurt!”
“Tsk tsk tsk, how old are you already!” Bai Xiaonian handed a tissue to Lu Jinnan with a look of disdain.
“Are you Lin Nuan? You’re Lin Nuan, aren’t you?”
A young lady’s delighted voice rang out from Lin Nuan’s side. With her hand still supporting Tuan Tuan, Lin Nuan turned her head around and saw a young lady gus.h.i.+ng in delight. “You’re really Lin Nuan! I’m your fan. I like you very much. I watch every episode of your ‘A Sunday Date.’ After viewing the trailer of ‘The Exorcist,’ I have converted into your hardcore fan! I super, super like you! Is this your son? He’s so adorable!”
“Nuan Nuan’s fan!” Bai Xiaonian propped her chin up with one hand and winked at Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan was indeed popular now, very, very popular…
Especially after the first trailer of “The Exorcist” was released. Lin Nuan’s performance was too striking, so striking that it left one breathless.
