Chapter 206: Why Here?

Lin Nuan said that quite sheepishly. She didn’t know much about w.a.n.g Quan, who knew things would turn out to be that way.
She didn’t know if she meant to comfort herself or Bai Xiaonian, but she had to go to get some news on the Lin Father.
Her phone vibrated in front of the makeup mirror. Lin Nuan saw Lin Chen’s caller ID and immediately picked up. “Brother…”
“I was busy just now. I knew you were probably going to ask about father. Don’t you worry, I’ll be here for you!”
Lin Chen loosened his tie on the other end of the phone and moved the cigarette away from the corner of his mouth. He flicked the cigarette in the ashtray.
Lin Nuan tightened her grasp on her phone. “Alright, I got it. Go, do your work! I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Lin Nuan fell silent after she hung up.
Bai Xiaonian knew too well from Lin Nuan’s expression that the Lin Family must have run into something big.
“Alright, I’ll just drive behind you guys later! “Bai Xiaonian immediately made a decision. “In case the b.a.s.t.a.r.d wants to do something to you, the two of us can keep him in place.”
Bai Xiaonian’s had limited capacity to help out when the Lin Family was in turmoil, but for things like that, she could still offer some help.
Lin Nuan also found w.a.n.g Quan quite intimidating. Knowing that Bai Xiaonian was going to follow her, she felt at ease.
Bai Xiaonian felt it wouldn’t be right for her to go alone as a single woman. She made an excuse to go to the toilet and called that jerk Lu Jinnan.
After they broke up, he still tried to chase her despite her not showing him much attention.
Bai Xiaonian decided to go all out for Lin Nuan’s safety.
Once Lu Jinnan heard it was Bai Xiaonian calling, without hesitating, he promised he’d be waiting for her at the radio station building within fifteen minutes.
Before Lin Nuan got in the car with w.a.n.g Quan, she saw that Bai Xiaonian’s car lights from a short distance. She let out a sigh of relief and sat next to the driver’s seat. Her cell phone in her bag was still on a call with Bai Xiaonian.
w.a.n.g Quan sat in the driver’s seat and fastened his seat belt. He noticed from the corner of his eye that she was changing into her jeans. He felt like it was such a pity since he noticed how bedazzling her fair, long legs looked in her short dress… it was such a sight that he couldn’t help fantasizing about her.
All he could smell was the faint yet pleasant scent of Lin Nuan’s body. One look at her clear features and he remembered how she looked stunning even next to the renowned beauty Su Manman. He felt increasingly attracted to her.
Containing the desire in his heart, w.a.n.g Quan reminded her to buckle up, put his hands on the steering wheel, and drove off.
Along the way, w.a.n.g Quan managed to behave himself and inform her that his mother was accompanying his father to attend an elderly family’s birthday dinner and that they had limited time to meet her.
Lin Nuan nodded and thanked him.
Nothing happened during the ride, and he did manage to drive her to a mansion in the rich suburban area.
The mansion was brightly lit as if it were Gatsby’s palace—it did look like a banquet was going on inside.
However, Lu Jinbei began to feel uneasy as he drove Xiaonian’s car. He kept his hands on the steering wheel and looked stunned. “Shoot… why here?”
Bai Xiaonian stared at Lu Jinbei. “You know this place?”
“This is the land of the grandparents of my brother’s friend. Tonight, my brother’s friends are celebrating his grandmother’s birthday! His last name is Fu… You’ve surely heard of him, Fu Huai’an, a great figure!” Lu Jinbei always looked indecent; it was quite rare for him to display any sign of admiration… until then.
