Her words were clear.
It was Lin Nuan's first time encountering such an occasion. She had thought that she would feel guilty and blush, but after hearing Mrs. Liu's straightforward words, Lin Nuan was actually able to smile, her heart unperturbed.
After sending off the Liu family, Liang Mulan held Lin Nuan's hand and sat on the sofa in the private room, asking Lin Nuan about her marriage with Fu Huai 'an.
Lin Jingquan sat on the single-seater sofa on Lin Nuan's right and lit a cigarette. He looked at Lin Nuan with his sunken eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"If your brother didn't mention it, your father and I wouldn't have known that you and Fu Huai 'an didn't get married. Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing?"
Lin Nuan didn't know what to say. She just sat there and smiled at Liang Mulan.
"Stop smiling!" Liang Mulan smacked the back of Lin Nuan's hand.
"Your brother said you didn't come home all these years because you didn't want to hurt Xiao Ran's heart. Aren't you afraid of hurting Mom and Dad's hearts?" Lin Jingquan's voice was low. "Getting married is such a big thing. I only found out about it from your mother after I came back from my business trip. In your heart … do your mother and I still matter?"
Lin Jingquan and Liang Mulan raised Lin Nuan from a young age. Their feelings for her weren't fake.
Afraid that Lin Nuan wouldn't be able to handle it, Liang Mulan glared at her husband. "Just talk nicely. Why are you scolding her?"
It was impossible for Lin Jingquan not to be angry all these years.
Back then, when Lin Nuan left home in a fit of pique, Lin Jingquan had no choice. He was worried that Lin Nuan wouldn't be able to take care of herself, so he hired a nanny for her, but Lin Nuan found an excuse to kick her out. He informed the school leaders to take care of her, but she stubbornly transferred her living expenses back to Liang Mulan's card. It was as if she was deliberately going against him.
Later, when Lin Nuan started working at the radio station, Lin Jingquan wanted to tell the higher-ups to take care of Lin Nuan, but he resisted the urge. He was afraid she would quit her job if he told her.
Lin Jingquan frowned and flicked the cigarette ash. After a while, he said, "You don't like Liu Mingchen?"
Lin Nuan clenched her fists and didn't speak.
"Nuan Nuan, we're all family, so I won't beat around the bush with you. Since you don't like Liu Mingchen, have you considered your brother?"
Lin Jingquan got up as he spoke, grabbing the teapot from the table that the waiter hadn't cleaned up yet. He sat down and casually poured himself a cup of tea, his deep gaze fixed on Lin Nuan as if his words weren't scary at all.
When these words came out of Lin Jingquan's mouth, Lin Nuan got a shock.
Lin Nuan could only hear the thumping of her heart. She reached for the cup and lowered her head to sip the tea to hide her fear and awkwardness.
First, Liu Mingchen was introduced to her, and then Lin Chen was mentioned. Lin Nuan was caught off guard.
Liang Mulan didn't expect Lin Jinghui to suddenly bring up the matter of Lin Chen and Lin Nuan being a couple. She was surprised, but she was also looking forward to Lin Nuan's reply.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Jingquan took a puff of his cigarette and spoke with a frown …
