Chapter 768: Were About to Kiss?
“Mm…” Lin Nuan nodded her head.
Although Lin Ran had taken Ji Yun to stay at the Lin house, this was no reason for Lin Nuan to go over to the Lin house without qualms.
From the time Liang Mulan helped out with the wedding preparations until now, Lin Ran kept relenting, sharing some of Liang Mulan’s motherly love with her. However, she couldn’t take it for granted.
Lin Ran’s personality was very sensitive. She could understand Lin Nuan, and Lin Nuan could also understand her. Thus, Lin Nuan chose to a.s.sociate with the Lins within the boundaries that Lin Ran had given her.
Actually, it was hard to decide the extent, especially since there was a kins.h.i.+p of over ten years between Lin Nuan and the Lins that couldn’t be broken off just like that.
So, when it came to handling this relations.h.i.+p, Lin Nuan would rather go about it cautiously and in a more conservative manner than risk overstepping the boundaries.
Lin Nuan’s heart warmed up at the thought of how Lin Ran had defended her at the cafe that day.
She gazed at Liang Mulan, who was standing right before her, and was all the more unwilling to act indulgently and hurt Lin Ran’s feelings because her heart was softened momentarily by Liang Mulan!
When things came to that point, she would have to cut off all ties with the Lin family completely. Wouldn’t that make Liang Mulan more brokenhearted?
After sending Liang Mulan off, Lin Nuan wrapped herself firmly with her jacket and walked back in. She saw Fu Huai’an coming out from inside with an unlit cigarette in his mouth. He was standing at the door and holding a lighter, but he had yet to light it up when he saw her.
Seeing Lin Nuan wrapped firmly in a jacket in the snow, Fu Huai’an was a little surprised…
When Liang Mulan left, she didn’t want to dampen the spirits of the youngsters and thus didn’t tell him that she was going, so Fu Huai’an didn’t know that Liang Mulan had left.
Fu Huai’an had wanted to hide out there and smoke a cigarette, but he was unexpectedly caught doing so by Lin Nuan.
Their gazes met. Fu Huai’an s.h.i.+fted the cigarette away from his lips and slipped the lighter back into his pocket. He held the cigarette in his fingers, unable to bear throwing it away.
Fu Huai’an walked down the stairs and into the falling snow, a smile on his lips. With his deep-set eyes and deeply-carved eyelids, his gaze was deep and quiet. Lin Nuan’s fair and delicate pet.i.te face was reflected in his eyes. “Why are you out here?”
“My Lin mother just left! She didn’t want to disrupt you during a chat with your friends, so she didn’t call you…” Lin Nuan lowered her head and looked to Fu Huai’an’s left and right and saw the cigarette he was holding. Without a second word, she took it from him and looked up with a slight frown. “Were you planning on smoking secretly?”
“I was being considerate of the fact that you and the girls were having a nice chat. Since I couldn’t very well get you to come out for a kiss, I came out to smoke a cigarette…” Fu Huai’an indeed came out for a smoke because he missed Lin Nuan’s soft lips.
Lin Nuan moved a step closer and squeezed her way into his arms. The gentle rustling of the down jacket sounded a little ambiguous, and her ears were a little hot. “Why couldn’t you very well do that? We’re a married couple who have registered our marriage…”
Seeing the snow get heavier, landing on Lin Nuan’s eyelashes, Fu Huai’an said seriously, “Be more serious. The children are looking at us!”
Lin Nuan turned around and saw Fu Tianci, Tuan Tuan, and Little Candy neatly lying p.r.o.ne and looking out the French windows…
An embarra.s.sed Lin Nuan frantically released her hold on Fu Huai’an’s clothes.
Fu Tianci was slightly older and managed to sense something. He turned around and sat on the sofa, then whipped out his phone to play games, his heart thumping wildly…
Just now, Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan were about to kiss, weren’t they?
“Nuan Nuan! Quickly, quickly, we want to disturb the nuptial chamber! Hurry over, the two of you!”
On the second floor, Xie Jingqian was bent over the balcony and shouting to Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an.
“Why are you talking about disturbing the nuptial chamber when we haven’t even eaten dinner!” Ji Zibai could be heard lecturing Xie Jingqian.
“Dabai, what do you know!” Xie Jingqian spoke in a soft and tender voice to Ji Zibai. “Of course, we should disturb the nuptial chamber as soon as possible, then leave the married couple their personal s.p.a.ce!”
Xie Jingqian turned around and winked enthusiastically at Lin Nuan. “Don’t you want to take a look at my wedding gift to you?”
Nope!
Lin Nuan didn’t want to at all!
What could Xie Jingqian have given her? It must be kinky lingerie!
“Go upstairs and take a look…” Fu Huai’an put his large hand on Lin Nuan’s waist and gently pushed her.
Regarding Xie Jingqian’s last present, even though Fu Huai’an didn’t say it, he felt very pleased with it.
“Qianqian’s present, I don’t dare open it in front of others! If you dare, you do it…” Lin Nuan said calmly.
Lin Nuan didn’t have the courage to display kinky lingerie before other people, so she didn’t hesitate to admit her cowardice!
“Quickly!” Xie Jingqian urged, seeming impatient.
Fu Huai’an’s slightly calloused hand enveloped Lin Nuan’s fair and tender fingers, pulling her away from the increasingly heavy snow and into the house.
The servants left after lighting the fireplace, as the house was already tidied up. The few friends of Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan would be staying overnight.
Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing took Tuan Tuan and Little Candy upstairs to rest. Fu Tianci had initially planned on sitting around the fireplace with Fu Huai’an and the rest, but he heard the door guard say that someone who identified himself as Secretary Song had come to pick him up.
Fu Tianci’s mouth twitched, but he no longer tried all means to resist as he did in the past, merely saying, “I’ll get going first!”
By the time he put on his jacket and got out the door, Secretary Song had gotten out of the car and was holding a wedding gift for Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an.
Secretary Song had bought it in a rush on the way to the Fus’ residence. He courteously and respectfully claimed that Fu Qingquan had asked him to bring it over, and he also congratulated Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an on their wedding.
Fu Huai’an asked the servants to take it away.
Actually, regardless of whether Fu Qingquan prepared a gift or liked Lin Nuan, Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an getting married was a foregone conclusion.
Since they had announced their wedding on Weibo, Fu Qingquan had been waiting, with the air of an elder, for Fu Huai’an to invite him. After all, he was Fu Huai’an’s elder, how could the Fu family’s elders be absent from the wedding?
However, Fu Huai’an didn’t invite him, so he knew that Fu Huai’an had likely made up his mind to fall out with the Fus entirely. And so, he gave the set of gem jewelry to Lu Qingmei out of spite.
“It’s rather cold outside! You guys had better not go out!” Fu Tianci put on his jacket, then his vision swept over the crowd at the fireplace, and he said to Lin Nuan, “Stay around and entertain the guests!”
Right, in Fu Tianci’s eyes, he was one of their family, while the others there were guests.
“It’s cold outside, you’d better not go out!” Fu Huai’an squeezed Lin Nuan’s thin shoulders.
Tang Zheng, who was about to head out for a smoke, saw Fu Tianci putting on a long black down jacket that made his pretty face look fairer and all the more exquisite. It was fitting to call him a pretty youth.
“Leaving?” Tang Zheng asked as he bit a cigarette at the corners of his lips.
Fu Tianci nodded.
Secretary Song pulled open the car door, and Fu Tianci got into the car. He then closed the door and, after taking a glance at Tang Zheng, who was smoking under the roof, said to Fu Huai’an, “President Fu, regarding Young Master Fu Cheng. I have gone over and talked with Haicheng West’s Old Master w.a.n.g, but Old Master w.a.n.g said that they only recognize you from the Fu family. Do you think you can… think of a way to get Young Master Fu Cheng out of Old Master w.a.n.g’s place?”
