Chapter 701 Distance Isn’t an Obstacle Between the Two of You
The couple was utterly surprised.
“Since you’re in love, then lead a proper life and don’t return to Russia. Leave Haicheng and find a place to lead a peaceful life. Just take it that you’ve already died! Go look for a new life…”
After saying this, Lu Jinnan left the bas.e.m.e.nt and went upstairs to wash the blood off himself. Someone had already come up to report to him that, with the exception of that couple, the rest of the people had been dealt with.
Lu Jinnan rarely showed sympathy, especially toward couples…
However, this time around, he didn’t know what had gotten into him!
After making that decision in that instant, Lu Jinnan also felt uneasy, fearing that he might have left a hidden danger for the future. However, at the thought of how that couple hadn’t shown the ugly state of pus.h.i.+ng each other to face death before themselves in the face of the six Tosas, protecting each other instead, the softest part in Lu Jinnan’s heart was moved…
It even made him think of Bai Xiaonian.
He was even wondering, if there were a day when he and Bai Xiaonian were to encounter the same scenario, would Bai Xiaonian also defend him in the same manner?
If she would, then Lu Jinnan felt that it’d be worth it even if he were to die.
Lu Jinnan dried his hair with a towel and calmly said, “Release news that foreign friends have come great distances to Haicheng to put Mr. Fu, myself, Tang Zheng, and Bai Jinyu under surveillance. Tang Zheng and I have hosted them with great ardor, sending them to a great place. They enjoyed themselves so much that they won’t be coming back anymore!”
Lu Jinnan had the intention to instill shock in others.
“Yes!”
The door closed, and Lu Jinnan sat on the sofa, his mind filled with images of Bai Xiaonian.
He clenched his teeth, picked up his phone, and familiarly found Bai Xiaonian’s number. However, he didn’t call her…
A long time later, after taking a deep breath, Lu Jinnan dialed Bai Xiaonian’s number.
It was already late, and Bai Xiaonian didn’t pick up quickly.
“h.e.l.lo…”
Hearing Bai Xiaonian’s sleepy voice coming from the other end of the phone, Lu Jinnan’s heart suddenly softened, and he said, “If… you feel that it’s too early to get married, we can wait for a bit!”
…
The next morning, Lin Nuan was so tired that she couldn’t open her eyes. Her body and brain had yet to wake up, but some kind of seething desire was already churning in her. The numb feeling darted up her spine from the bottom of her feet, shooting up to her brain. This caused Lin Nuan to curl up her toes, press her legs together, and rub them together…
She let out a soft moan, feeling as if something was lighting up a fire on her body from just a touch.
Heavy panting rang out next to her ears, and Lin Nuan tried hard to open her eyes, but she couldn’t…
Many kisses landed all over her body, and she was unable to resist. Her lips opened slightly, and her voice turned into intimate and alluring tones.
It wasn’t until the familiar l.u.s.t acted up in her body like a corrosive venom that Lin Nuan woke up from the intense actions. Her voice was already cracking.
“Don’t…” Lin Nuan clutched the bed sheets tightly. The sun was about to come up, and Tuan Tuan still had to go to kindergarten. Lin Nuan had to get up to prepare breakfast for him.
Her mind was filled with these thoughts, and she kept crying out in refusal, but her body couldn’t reject it.
Last night, Fu Huai’an had hugged Lin Nuan in his arms and hadn’t slept at all. The wild beast in him had howled for the entire night. It was just before the sun came up, when he felt that Lin Nuan should have had enough rest, that Fu Huai’an took action while Lin Nuan was still fast asleep.
“It’s still early! Be good… If you’re tired, then sleep a little longer. You can just ignore me!” Fu Huai’an’s heavy and hoa.r.s.e voice rang out next to Lin Nuan’s ear.
How could Lin Nuan sleep under such conditions?
Lin Nuan felt that the man who had said this was very irresponsible.
She clutched tightly onto the bed sheets, feeling as if there was the clas.h.i.+ng of fire and ice everywhere in her body. Her heart felt as if countless ants were crawling all over it, and she woke up, unable to withstand the feeling. It was as if a numb feeling that pushed her to the verge of collapse was running through her entire body.
The only way that Lin Nuan could sleep under such conditions would be if she fainted.
Lin Nuan couldn’t say a single word. She could only bite her lip and clench the bed sheets even tighter.
Things ended in the way Lin Nuan wished for. She fainted unknowingly, only remembering that even in her dreams, she was unable to break free from the big net that had been woven by l.u.s.t. The whizzing sounds in her mind sounded like symphony music.
When Lin Nuan opened her eyes again, she had already missed the time she needed to get up to prepare breakfast and send Tuan Tuan to school. In fact, she had almost missed lunch.
After the exercise in the morning, Lin Nuan was covered in sweat. She now felt as if her cold had gotten a lot better.
Lin Nuan dragged her sore body to take a bath and then went downstairs, only to see Fu Huai’an, energized and with calm composure, seated on the sofa and reading the English newspaper.
Hearing Lin Nuan coming down, Fu Huai’an put the newspaper on the coffee table and got up to walk toward the stairs. “Lunch has been sent over. Do you want to eat?”
Lin Nuan was famished, so she nodded.
Fu Huai’an took Lin Nuan’s hand and entered the dining room.
Fu Huai’an had already taken the lunch out of the takeaway boxes and placed it on the plates they had at home, keeping it warm.
There were more meat dishes for lunch. Fu Huai’an said that it was to let Lin Nuan replenish her energy.
Lin Nuan helped take the dishes to the table and served the rice. She sat at the dining room table and couldn’t help but flip through the news on her phone. She wanted to see what the netizens were saying about the report of her meeting Li Muyang after one night had pa.s.sed.
When Fu Huai’an saw Lin Nuan’s actions, he pursed his lips and smiled, knocking onto the plate with his chopsticks. “Have your meal first!”
“Wait a minute, let me take a look…”
Lin Nuan opened the news app and was stunned when she saw the news headlines.
[Lin Nuan’s husband quickly releases news of their wedding, showing strong support for Lin Nuan.]
[The Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an couple’s wedding date is announced!]
[Renowned host Lin Nuan’s husband has an open outlook toward marriage, allowing for a third party’s interference?]
[Both husband and wife posted on Weibo concurrently, breaking the rumors of having a broken marriage!]
[Lin Nuan and her husband announced their wedding news concurrently. Is this an attempt to cover for and protect the lover?]

[Mysterious wealthy man traveled the seas in pursuit. Lin Nuan and her husband’s relations.h.i.+p is strong, and they announced their wedding news, sticking strongly to their marriage.]
Lin Nuan scrolled down quickly. There were both good and bad news headlines, but more of them were good. All of them told Lin Nuan one thing; Fu Huai’an had announced news of their wedding! She had done the same as well.
Lin Nuan was stunned for a moment. She raised her head, moved the chopsticks that she had been biting onto, and asked Fu Huai’an, “You announced our wedding news?”
“En!” Fu Huai’an nodded. “After we take the wedding photos tomorrow, we’ll also pick out a few and make an announcement.”
Lin Nuan’s big and bright eyes looked at Fu Huai’an. “Didn’t we say that we weren’t going to announce it to the public?”
“It doesn’t matter whether we announce it. Everyone knows that we’re husband and wife anyway! It’s just that it might be a little tough on security when the time comes. After all, my wife has a lot of friends given how popular you are now…” Fu Huai’an picked up some food for Lin Nuan and smiled.
Lin Nuan tapped open her official Weibo account. The latest post was Fang Yan getting the person managing Lin Nuan’s official account to share Fu Huai’an’s Weibo post…
[@Lin Nuan’s Official Weibo: (Heart gesture)(Heart gesture) Full of antic.i.p.ation for the beautiful Nuan Nuan on New Year’s Day. Congratulations to the couple! Hope that the two of you can give our little cutie a younger brother or sister soon! //@Lin Nuan’s husband: Although we have been married for a long time, I’m still full of antic.i.p.ation to see Lin Nuan putting on a wedding dress for me! See you on New Year’s Day!]
The second Weibo post was the announcement on Lin Nuan’s official Weibo account that their wedding date was on New Year’s Day. It said that they were in the midst of shooting the wedding photos and that when the photos were out, they would be posted on the official Weibo account in appreciation of the fans.
Another website’s official Weibo account also shared and @Lin Nuan Official Weibo, asking whether Lin Nuan had a relations.h.i.+p with Li Muyang…
[@Lin Nuan’s Official Weibo: Their meeting was done openly in front of everyone, and they also met at an outdoor cafe! How the h.e.l.l are they acting intimately? A wise man doesn’t believe in rumors! Be good, and don’t be like those r.e.t.a.r.ds! //@Kneel on a washboard: What is really up between Ms. Lin Nuan and that fan? I went to watch that show, and he really did confess to Ms. Lin Nuan. I like Ms. Lin Nuan a lot and believe that she wouldn’t have an extramarital affair. However, everyone is saying that Ms. Lin Nuan acted intimately with that man and wants to run away with him. What on earth is going on? Pleading for an official reply on this! @Lin Nuan Official Weibo]
Lin Nuan finished reading through her official Weibo account and tapped open Fu Huai’an’s Weibo account.
The very first post was the one that announced their wedding news, and there was a photo of the wedding dress attached. It was the wedding dress that Lin Nuan had selected…
Lin Nuan couldn’t help but smile and look at Fu Huai’an. “When I was trying on the wedding dress previously, you refused to enter the room and take a look. The alterations to the wedding dress will be done in another two days. When the designer brings the wedding dress over, I’ll put it on and show you!”
Fu Huai’an picked up his gla.s.s and took a sip of water. He looked toward Lin Nuan, put down the gla.s.s, then said, “I won’t take a look…”
“You want to leave a sense of mystery for New Year’s Day?” Lin Nuan smiled and asked.
Fu Huai’an shook his head. As if imagining the scene of Lin Nuan in her wedding dress, his gaze darkened a little, and his s.e.xy throat rolled. “I’m afraid that I won’t be able to hold back and will tear it!”
Lin Nuan was stunned. She hadn’t expected Fu Huai’an to say this. Her clear eyes were wide open as she looked at Fu Huai’an.
While looking at his wife’s surprised expression, Fu Huai’an heard the sound of water boiling. He got up and dissolved a packet of cold relief effervescent medicine for Lin Nuan, cooling it with some cold water. He brought it over and put it in front of Lin Nuan. “After the visual enjoyment, the only fun left for me is to tear it apart personally.”
“Why do you have to tear it? Can’t you just take it off properly?” Lin Nuan didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry. “It’s such a beautiful and expensive wedding dress…”
Fu Huai’an appeared very interested in tearing the wedding dress. What about it being expensive…? What about it being beautiful…? None of that was important to him at all.
“Drink up…” Fu Huai’an indicated for Lin Nuan to drink the cold medicine.
Lin Nuan frowned and got closer to smell it. It felt as if the bitter taste had already spread out in her mouth.
“You’re already so old, and yet you’re still afraid of taking medicine?” Fu Huai’an’s voice was filled with a low and doting smile.
Lin Nuan looked at Fu Huai’an’s face. The smile in his eyes looked so good that it made her heart palpitate, and she couldn’t stop the fierce beating of her heart. She then took a look at the brown medicine that was shrouded with bitter vapor. With a sigh, she said, “Why don’t… you give me a kiss, and I’ll finish it in one go?”
Fu Huai’an watched as Lin Nuan’s fair ears turned red. She was biting her lip and suppressing her smile and embarra.s.sment. Looking at her beautiful appearance, the gaze in his eyes darkened even more.
Fu Huai’an put down his chopsticks and extended his hands toward Lin Nuan. “Pa.s.s me the medicine!”
Lin Nuan teased Fu Huai’an while pa.s.sing him the cup. “Are you going to feed me?”
Fu Huai’an took the cup with one hand and grabbed Lin Nuan’s slender wrist with the other. He pulled her up from her chair, moved her around the dining room table, and dragged her into his embrace.
The pet.i.te Lin Nuan looked like a young child while seated in Fu Huai’an’s embrace. She raised her head and looked at Fu Huai’an, watching as he put the cup with the cold medicine to his lips and raised his head…
Lin Nuan’s small hand, which rested on Fu Huai’an’s chest, tightened as she realized what Fu Huai’an was going to do. Her entire body suddenly heated up, and she turned weak.
Her gaze was on Fu Huai’an’s s.e.xy Adam’s apple, and when she looked up a little, she saw that some of the medicine had dripped down from the corners of his lips. It flowed down his cold and sharp chin and down his neck. Her breathing started to accelerate.
Fu Huai’an put down his arm and lowered his head to kiss Lin Nuan’s lips. The gla.s.s that was placed on the dining room table wasn’t placed down properly, and it fell over, rolling all the way to the plate. A clank rang out as it collided with the porcelain plate.
Lin Nuan’s hands clutched the clothes in front of Fu Huai’an’s chest tightly. Even though she was prepared for it… she was still shocked by the medicine that had been suddenly sent into her mouth by Fu Huai’an. It was to the extent that she momentarily forgot to breathe.
After swallowing all of the medicine, Lin Nuan wrapped both of her arms around Fu Huai’an’s neck. She opened her small mouth, allowing Fu Huai’an’s warm and soft tongue to slide in.
The strong taste of the medicine filled up her mouth. Although it was supposed to be bitter, the exchange of their saliva caused Lin Nuan to experience hints of sweetness.
Fu Huai’an cupped his hand around the back of Lin Nuan’s head, kissing her intensely, so much so that Lin Nuan’s heart was beating too fast for her to handle. She felt as if she was going to faint, and her body turned as limp as cooked noodles.
A big, long, and slender hand slid under her clothes. It had a scorching temperature that was even higher than her l.u.s.t-filled body. It felt as if Lin Nuan was going to melt…
His arm probed deeper, and he lifted up Lin Nuan’s clothes. The clothes bunched up before her chest, and the fair and delicate curves at her waist were exposed to the air, feeling a little cold.
Thankfully, the long kiss with a hint of bitterness didn’t turn into unrestrained indulgence.
Fu Huai’an released Lin Nuan and looked at her alluring gaze, which contained a hint of stupor. He gently wiped away the medicine that flowed out from the corners of her lips.
Lin Nuan slowly regained her senses and rested her head on Fu Huai’an’s chest. Her ears listened to Fu Huai’an’s strong heartbeat, and she said, “If this is how I’ll take medicine in the future, then I’ll be good and take my medicine every single time!”
The hand that Fu Huai’an used to wipe the medicine from Lin Nuan’s lips pinched her face. “Mrs. Fu, your mouth is so sweet… Do you want to live the rest of your life in bed?”
Lin Nuan tightly wrapped her arms around Fu Huai’an’s neck, and her mouth got closer to his lips. “I want to spend my next life with you in bed as well!”
After saying that, Lin Nuan propped herself up and kissed Fu Huai’an’s thin lips. However, just as Fu Huai’an was about to open his mouth to bite her mouth and invade it, she moved away from his lips…
Fu Huai’an’s scorching breath blew on Lin Nuan’s forehead. Lin Nuan looked at Fu Huai’an with a smile that was even brighter than the sunlight. She tried to hold back her laughter and said, “We mustn’t continue kissing like this. If this continues, I won’t be able to hold back and will push you down!”
Fu Huai’an couldn’t hold back his laughter, and he hugged her even tighter. “Let’s have lunch first. After lunch, we’ll continue!”
“Ding-dong— Ding-dong—”
Hearing the doorbell, Lin Nuan’s body subconsciously tensed up.
The sweet atmosphere was interrupted, and Lin Nuan held the back of Fu Huai’an’s collar tightly.
“I’ll go and take a look…” Fu Huai’an patted Lin Nuan’s b.u.t.t.
Lin Nuan frowned deeply and bit her lower lip. She now had a trauma towards having someone suddenly press their doorbell. She was afraid that it’d be someone looking for Fu Huai’an, and then he’d get into trouble again.
“I’ll go!” Lin Nuan squirmed from Fu Huai’an’s embrace, withstood her heartbeat, and stood up. She took a long look at Fu Huai’an, then walked toward the door.
Lin Nuan didn’t open the door directly but checked things out through the peephole. Lu Jinnan was standing outside. He took a final deep puff of the cigarette in his mouth and then tossed the cigarette b.u.t.t at the stairs. He puffed out the smoke and reached out his hand, wanting to press the doorbell once again.
The door opened.
Lu Jinnan looked at Lin Nuan and said, “I’m here to look for Old Fu!”
Lin Nuan could tell that Lu Jinnan hadn’t slept for the entire night. The fatigue was showing on his face. His eyes were bloodshot, and stubble had grown out on his distinct chin.
Seeing that it was Lu Jinnan, Lin Nuan heaved a sigh of relief. She turned sideways and let him in. “Huai’an is in the dining room and has just started eating. If you haven’t eaten yet, then join us!”
Lu Jinnan didn’t refuse and nodded. “Alright!”
The moment they entered the dining room, Lu Jinnan pulled out a chair and sat down on the other side of Fu Huai’an. Lin Nuan went to the kitchen to get a bowl and chopsticks for Lu Jinnan.
“The matter has been dealt with!” Lu Jinnan didn’t hide things from Lin Nuan and spoke directly to Fu Huai’an.
Fu Huai’an nodded. “Let’s have our meal first!”
Lin Nuan didn’t ask what had been dealt with.
Lu Jinnan took a bite of food, and his expression made it seem as if he was chewing on wax. It was only after a while that Lu Jinnan raised his head and looked toward Lin Nuan, asking, “Are you aware that Bai Xiaonian is going to become a correspondent? ”
Lin Nuan received the bowl of soup Fu Huai’an had scooped for her and nodded. “I know…”
Lu Jinnan’s lips moved slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
“You want me to persuade her to stay?” Lin Nuan seemed to have seen through Lu Jinnan’s thoughts. “Or do you wish for me to persuade her to accept your proposal?”
Lu Jinnan knew that Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian’s relations.h.i.+p was good. It was within his expectations that Bai Xiaonian would share their matters with Lin Nuan.
Seeing that Lu Jinnan wasn’t saying anything, Lin Nuan carried on, saying, “I’m very supportive of Xiaonian becoming a correspondent next year. Xiaonian’s mother was an exceptionally outstanding reporter! Xiaonian’s lifelong dream has been to become a reporter like her mother. If she missed this opportunity, was she going to stay at Haicheng TV Station and be a host or broadcaster forever?”
Lu Jinnan frowned.
Lin Nuan could actually understand what Lu Jinnan was thinking. Bai Xiaonian didn’t agree to his proposal, and he was afraid that if he were to let Bai Xiaonian leave, he wouldn’t be able to hold onto her in the future!
“Lu Jinnan, if you love Xiaonian, you shouldn’t tie her down by your side. Instead, you should help her achieve her dreams. Even if you can’t help her, at least don’t stop her. There’s no conflict between your love and her dream! In this day and age, with communication and transportation being so well-developed, distance isn’t an obstacle between the two of you,” said Lin Nuan sincerely.
Everyone had something they wanted to do. It was the same for Lu Jinnan as well…
Lu Jinnan asked himself honestly. If Bai Xiaonian were to stop him from doing what he wanted one day, he wouldn’t be able to let things go just like that. However, Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian’s conversation didn’t go well last night.
Today, Bai Xiaonian had already blacklisted him!
