Mu Taotao let out a soft laugh. Her tingling laughter was like that of a bell, and she looked at the blus.h.i.+ng Little Lu, feeling as if she had encountered a pure-hearted young boy…
She was about to say something when her phone rang. She lowered her head and dug her phone out from her bag. The moment she saw that it was a call from her boss, she waved to Little Lu, saying, "I"ll be making a move first!"
The young lady was wearing a pink scarf, and when she spoke, a faint fog came out from her mouth. However, it couldn"t cover her big and bright eyes that had a hint of a smile in them.
Little Lu knew about Mu Taotao"s ident.i.ty. He had thought that killers like Mu Taotao, whose hands were stained in blood, should all be very cold. He hadn"t expected that this young lady would like to smile so much.
"Alright! Be careful on the way!" Little Lu"s ears were flushed red, and his expression was courteous and graceful.
Before Mu Taotao could say something to tease Little Lu, she was interrupted by the puppy guy"s call. When she picked up the call, she couldn"t help but felt a little displeased.
"Boss, you really know how to pick a time to call…" Mu Taotao walked over to her small Nissan car, unlocked it, and then entered from the front pa.s.senger seat. By the time she put on her seatbelt and raised her head again, Little Lu had already left.
…
Since the heat in the car was too hot, Lin Nuan unbuckled her seat belt, removed her down jacket, and threw it into the backseat. She asked Fu Huai"an, "How did you know that Lu Qili came to look for me?"
The moment Lin Nuan asked this, she felt that her question was excessive. She was surrounded by Fu Huai"an"s men. Since Mu Taotao knew about it, how could he possibly not know about it?
"This time around, I was busy with the rescue operation and have made you feel aggrieved…" Fu Huai"an"s voice was low.
Lin Nuan tugged off the hair tie on her ponytail, then tidied her hair with her fingers. After, she unraveled the hair tie while biting on it and untangling it with her fingers before tying her hair up again. "How was I aggrieved? I was just afraid that Tuan Tuan would feel aggrieved!"
Fu Huai"an kept one hand on the steering wheel and saw Lin Nuan tying up her hair from the corner of his eye. He smiled and said, "I like how you look with your hair down…"
Lin Nuan paused in her action of tying her hair. She half-squinted her eyes and asked Fu Huai"an, "You have this kind of obsession?"
Fu Huai"an was rendered speechless.
"You don"t know that?" Fu Huai"an asked back, his fingers occasionally knocking on the steering wheel. His deep voice had a hint of a smile in it.
Being asked this by Fu Huai"an, Lin Nuan recalled that when they had s.e.x, Fu Huai"an would always stroke her long hair. She turned and looked at him. "You really do have…"
Fu Huai"an was rendered speechless.
After pa.s.sing the tollbooth, Fu Huai"an let Lin Nuan open the glove compartment. There was a sapphire blue velvet jewelry box. When she opened it up, there was a sun brooch inside.
At the thought of the word "Nuan"[1], one would think of sunlight, and then the sun. Therefore, when Fu Huai"an saw this brooch, he immediately thought of Lin Nuan. The workmans.h.i.+p was exquisite, and it was embedded with many small diamonds. It looked stunning.
Lin Nuan took out the brooch and couldn"t hold back the happiness in her eyes. "It"s so beautiful!"
"Its beauty isn"t even one-tenth of Mrs. Fu"s…" Fu Huai"an"s gaze remained looking straight ahead.
Lin Nuan bit her lower lip and put the brooch on her sweater. The brooch stood out a lot on her light brown sweater.
"I like it a lot! Thank you!" Lin Nuan thanked Fu Huai"an and then asked, "Is this… compensation?"
"This is a present! The compensation will be left for tonight!" Fu Huai"an used his mature and alluring voice to say something embarra.s.sing in a matter-of-fact manner. "I know you missed me. Little Nuan[2] also missed me…"
Lin Nuan understood what Fu Huai"an meant, and her ears started to heat up. She subconsciously shut her legs tightly together. "That"s not true!"
"Tonight, Little Nuan will tell me honestly whether it"s true or not! I"ll ask Little Nuan myself…"
Fu Huai"an was wearing a suit and emitting an abstinent and deep disposition. However, even though they had been husband and wife for quite some time, his words made it hard for Lin Nuan to sit still.
Lin Nuan turned and looked out of the car window, which reflected the upward curl on her lips, something she couldn"t hold back.
It only took slightly more than two hours to travel from Jinjiang to Haicheng. The traffic in Haicheng was more congested. Lin Nuan initially thought that Lu Qili would leave the cafe after they missed the agreed-upon time for the meetup. She hadn"t expected that Lu Qili would still be around when she and Fu Huai"an arrived.
Fu Huai"an parked the car. When Lin Nuan unbuckled her seatbelt and saw Lu Qili seated at a window seat, she said to Fu Huai"an, "Miss Lu seems sure that I"d come. We"re already 20 minutes late, but she"s still around!"
Haicheng"s sky had gradually turned dark. Although it was only noon, the lights in the cafe already appeared especially bright. The warm light shone down on the sofas and people in the cafe, illuminating the busy streets and beautifying Haicheng"s street view.
Lin Nuan turned her head and reached out for the jacket that she had placed in the backseat. Before her fingers touched it, Fu Huai"an said, "There"s no need for you to go over. We"ll leave after I say a few words!"
After saying that, Fu Huai"an unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to look at Lin Nuan. "Five minutes will be sufficient. Otherwise, we won"t be able to make it in time for the movie…"
"Movie?" Lin Nuan looked toward Fu Huai"an in surprise.
Fu Huai"an smiled at Lin Nuan. "I might not even take five minutes before I come out…"
Lin Nuan sat in the front pa.s.senger seat, her long, slender, fair, and clean fingers still on the door handle. She watched as Fu Huai"an opened the door to the cafe and entered. Her hand slowly moved away from the door handle.
It was undoubtedly eye-catching when a man like Fu Huai"an entered the cafe. Regardless of whether it was his mature and handsome looks or his calm and composed disposition, they made it hard for others to neglect him.
Lu Qili was very surprised to see Fu Huai"an. Even from the distance, Lin Nuan could see Lu Qili stiffening up.
Fu Huai"an sat down opposite Lu Qili and said something. Lu Qili"s countenance turned increasingly grim, and she anxiously explained something to Fu Huai"an, making gestures with her hands.
However, Fu Huai"an nodded seriously, his sharp and deep gaze forcing Lu Qili to stop talking. Tears trickled down her eyes.
It only took five minutes for Fu Huai"an to leave the cafe, open the car door, and get into the car.
Unwilling to give up, Lu Qili ran out behind Fu Huai"an. When she saw Lin Nuan seated in the car, she paused in her steps. Her makeup was ruined due to her tears and looked very bad.
In order to chase after Fu Huai"an, Lu Qili didn"t even put on her coat. She was dressed in a very thin layer, only wearing a light pink s.h.i.+rt, a pair of formal black trousers, and a pair of high heels.
As Fu Huai"an got into the car, Lin Nuan buckled her seatbelt. She looked over toward Lu Qili. "Did Miss Lu explain things?"
"It"s not important to me whether she explains things or not!"
Fu Huai"an had just finished his words when Lu Qili charged up, spread open her arms, and stood in front of the car…
A beautiful lady was breaking down in tears and standing in front of a Bentley Mulsanne. There was an expensive car, a beautiful woman, as well as a man in a suit who had handsome and robust features, and Lin Nuan, who had astonis.h.i.+ngly exquisite features and was in the front pa.s.senger seat.
