She frantically held up the bottle, then gingerly helped Fu Huai"an clean his wound dab by dab using a cotton ball…
Her long hair fell over her shoulders, and Lin Nuan tucked it behind her ears, her vision blurred by mist.
There were countless big and small scars on Fu Huai"an"s body, and each and every wound was like a needle to Lin Nuan. Seeing them caused her heart mild pain, her heart aching for Fu Huai"an involuntarily!
In the room, Lin Nuan"s sniffing was rather apparent. She couldn"t hold herself back, after all. Tears flowed down her cheeks as she helped Fu Huai"an dress his wound with gauze again and helped him pull up his pants.
Seeing Lin Nuan like that saddened Fu Huai"an. Thinking of how in the future… Lin Nuan might be dragged into that gory world, his heart ached.
Lin Nuan originally should"ve been the most tender and beautiful flower in the world. She should"ve been cherished, living in a greenhouse where sunlight was warm and water adequate. She didn"t need to go through any storm!
Fu Huai"an looked at Lin Nuan, who had her head lowered as she packed up the first aid box. She had taken out everything from the first aid box, wiping the items one by one and then placing them aside.
Fu Huai"an placed a large hand on the top of her head. "I"m sorry. I promised you not to involve myself in any danger…"
Lin Nuan halted in her act of wiping the bottle, her tears flooding down her cheeks like strings of broken pearls. She stubbornly refused to raise her head, a lump coming into her throat. Even her voice sounded heavily m.u.f.fled. "Why didn"t you tell me about your injury? How is your wound going to recover fast if you don"t put on medication? Were you afraid I might discover your wound… and blame you for doing something dangerous behind my back? But you already went anyway… isn"t the most important thing after coming back treating your wound? Fu Huai"an… what I"m worried about is your safety and health, not the fact that you lied to me. You don"t understand such simple logic?"
From how Lin Nuan looked at it, Fu Huai"an"s health and safety were more important than anything else!
Listening to Lin Nuan"s words, Fu Huai"an couldn"t hold back the overwhelmed emotions in his heart. He got out of the bed, knelt beside Lin Nuan on one knee, kissed the top of her head, and pulled her into his embrace, his eyes reddened.
"Sorry…" Fu Huai"an"s mature and masculine voice could be heard above Lin Nuan"s head.
Lin Nuan clenched her teeth, unable to restrain her tears. She hugged Fu Huai"an"s arm, trying not to sound like she was crying. "Don"t let yourself get injured again, will you…"
Fu Huai"an closed his eyes and said nothing, merely kissing the top of her head forcefully.
Fu Huai"an couldn"t guarantee that he wouldn"t let himself get injured again in the future!
May Myint Yady"s matter, plus Fu Huai"an"s ident.i.ty as Mr. Moral…
Before all of those matters were settled, they were like landmines hidden under a peaceful facade. No one knew when they would explode and hurt him… as well as Lin Nuan and those around him!
…
Early the next morning, Yun Liuli arrived at 5:30 am, but the servants in the Fu residence didn"t appear fl.u.s.tered just because their masters Fu Huai"an and Lin Nuan were both not around.
Even though Yun Liuli had arrived at such an hour, the servants in the Fu residence still made arrangements for her in an orderly manner.
In the past, Yun Liuli had stayed at the Fu residence, so she had a room there…
Plus, Lin Nuan had instructed the servants to tidy up Yun Liuli"s room, so it was spotless, and Yun Liuli could move in at any time.
When Yun Liuli arrived, she still looked sleepy. The servants hurriedly brought Yun Liuli"s luggage to the room, then asked if she needed the kitchen to prepare some food for her.
Yun Liuli was so tired that she couldn"t open her eyes and only wanted to sleep, so she waved her hands. Before she even took off her jacket and clothes, she crawled onto the bed in an exhausted state.
Noticing this, the servants helped her turn off the lights in the bedroom, then gently closed the door.
The servants hadn"t left for long before Yun Liuli, who was sprawled on the bed, opened her bright and glazed eyes…
Because no one had stayed in that room the night before, the curtains of the French windows weren"t drawn. It was pitch-black outside the windows.
After a while, she propped herself up into a sitting position… an inexplicably desolate look clouding her pretty and exquisite features.
Yun Liuli lowered her head and looked at the s.h.i.+rt b.u.t.tons she had been gripping onto the entire trip, feeling that she was silly and pathetic!
To Gu Qingcheng, she was perhaps just a big burden!
The only reason Gu Qingcheng had treated her so well, had doted on and spoiled her, was because he regarded her as the daughter of a friend!
There was a sadness that couldn"t be dispelled in Yun Liuli"s pretty and clean eyes.
…
Yun Liuli, who had been sent to the Fu residence, had, over this period of time, kept to herself in her room upstairs, not going downstairs much. Lin Nuan had gone up several times in an attempt to get Yun Liuli to go downstairs, but it didn"t work. At most, Yun Liuli would just go down and play with the fat little cat for a bit before yawning continuously and heading back upstairs.
Yun Liuli claimed that she had slept too little previously, and now that she was at Lin Nuan"s place, she wanted to make up for all that lost sleep!
Yun Liuli did eat properly. She ate whatever was sent up to her room, and she appeared to be in a good mental condition when speaking with Lin Nuan. She sometimes even liked to tease the fat little cat at home, playing with it along with Tuan Tuan when he returned from kindergarten!
Yun Liuli appeared to be in a better state emotionally and mentally compared to that time before Lin Nuan and Fu Huai"an"s wedding. Seeing all of that, Lin Nuan felt her heart put at ease a little more.
However, even though Lin Nuan"s heart was put at ease a little more, she still planned to take Yun Liuli to see Lu Hanzi!
Fu Huai"an"s wound was recovering faster than expected, perhaps due to Lin Nuan"s attentive care.
Ever since Lin Nuan came to know of the injury on Fu Huai"an"s leg, she took on the responsibility of helping Fu Huai"an change his dressing. She even asked Fu Huai"an to do his work at home and not leave the house unless he absolutely had to, wanting him to focus on recuperating at home.
It was the day that Lin Chen was discharged from hospital in Jincheng and returned home. Lin Nuan had packed up early and prepared to set off for Jincheng to fetch Lin Chen.
Fu Huai"an had initially planned to accompany Lin Nuan, but she asked him to stay at home because he hadn"t completely recovered from his injuries.
"Don"t go to the company simply because I"m not around. There"s Lu Jinnan at the Kaide Corporation. You focus on recuperating. You can get busy after you"ve fully recovered, I definitely won"t stop you then!" Lin Nuan reminded Fu Huai"an as she put on her shoes at the door right before leaving.
Fu Huai"an, who was wearing black home clothes, took Lin Nuan"s extra thick down jacket and handed it to her. "Okay… don"t worry!"
He had already caused Lin Nuan to worry about his injury once, so he didn"t want her to worry about him again.
"I"ll try my best to come back early after fetching Brother!" Lin Nuan tied her shoelaces and then got to her feet.
She took her down jacket from Fu Huai"an and put it on properly. Right before leaving, seeing as there weren"t others around, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips. "I have nothing planned for this afternoon, so I"ll come back early to keep you company!"
"No hurry! Get You Nainai to drive slower. Safety first!" Fu Huai"an reminded Lin Nuan as he walked her to the door.
Seeing Lin Nuan and Fu Huai"an come out, You Nainai addressed Fu Huai"an.
Pulling open the front pa.s.senger door, right before getting into the car, Lin Nuan thought of Yun Liuli, so she said to Fu Huai"an, "Xiao Liuli told me last night that after sleeping at home the past few days, she wanted to go out for a walk. I have You Nainai by my side, and that"s enough, so you can arrange the people around me to go protect Xiao Liuli!"
