She sat by the bed and dried her hair while contemplating how she should tell Fu Huai 'an about Gu Hanyan. She wasn't that close to Fu Huai' an.
If she were to ask him not to get engaged, it would be too abrupt no matter how she thought about it. It might even make people think that she was up to no good and was jealous of him.
Lin Nuan dried her hair and felt frustrated.
When Lin Nuan went to find Fu Huai 'an, he had already finished his supper and was going upstairs.
Lin Nuan didn't give herself any room to retreat and said in a clear voice, "Mr. Fu, I'm here because I have something to ask of you."
Fu Huai 'an held a cup of coffee in one hand and put the other in his pocket as he stepped onto the last step of the stairs. His tall figure stood against the light, completely enveloping Lin Nuan in his shadow. The strong sense of oppression and deterrence made Lin Nuan tighten her grip on the sides of her shirt. She furrowed her brows slightly and straightened her back, subconsciously not wanting to show her fear.
Their eyes met. Fu Huai 'an's eyes were calm and unfathomable, as if he could easily see through people's hearts.
Lin Nuan's intuition told her that Fu Huai 'an was someone who liked to speak frankly. If she played tricks in front of him, she would definitely be seen through.
Fu Huai 'an didn't rush her and patiently waited for her to speak.
She took a deep breath and threw away the script she had prepared in her mind and simply said, "Mr. Fu, you may not know, but Gu Hanyan used to be Wen Moshen's fiancée. She is still waiting for Wen Moshen to come back."
Fu Huai 'an's dark eyes made Lin Nuan panic. She was afraid that Fu Huai' an would misunderstand that she was up to no good.
Lin Nuan had just finished showering and her slightly wavy waist-length hair was loose. Seeing Fu Huai 'an's deep eyes looking at her, she raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear to hide her nervousness.
"They say that a gentleman doesn't take what others like, nor does he force them to do anything. Mr. Fu, you are a gentleman. Even if you want to get engaged, you should ask for the woman's opinion first and not directly set it with the Gu family. After all, this is no longer the era of arranged marriages."
Lin Nuan used honorifics. Her words were both soft and hard, and she was very direct. She didn't use any tricks. Even when she praised Fu Huai 'an as a gentleman, it was just a flattery.
Fu Huai 'an looked at Lin Nuan calmly. His thin lips were pursed coldly as he ignored her words. "I lack a woman, and Tuan Tuan lacks a mother. I don't care who Gu Hanyan has in her heart!"
Lin Nuan suddenly thought of the little boy who had looked at her with his big, watery eyes and called her Mama shyly.
A thin layer of sweat covered her palms, and her heart skipped a beat. She felt that Fu Huai 'an's words were a hint to her.
Lin Nuan watched as Fu Huai 'an brushed past her, her mind elsewhere.
In the bedroom, Fu Huai 'an lit a cigarette and casually tossed the custom-made lighter on the coffee table.
"Clang, clang, clang …"
Hearing the knock on the door, Fu Huai 'an picked up the coffee cup with the hand holding the cigarette. His deep eyes looked in the direction of the door, but he didn't speak for a long time.
It came faster than Fu Huai 'an had expected.
"Dang dang dang —"
The knocking came again. Fu Huai 'an's slender fingers brushed against the sides of the coffee cup. After a moment of silence, he said unhurriedly, "Come in …"
Fu Huai 'an's deep and mellow voice came through the door. Lin Nuan's heart tightened for a moment. Confusion and timidity almost surrounded her heart, but the two words Wen Moshen … were like a shield, blocking her hesitation.
Lin Nuan grabbed the doorknob and turned it, opening the door.
Fu Huai 'an was sitting lazily on the sofa, a document on his long legs casually crossed.
When Lin Nuan entered, she saw Fu Huai 'an put down the coffee in his hand and flip a page of the document with a cigarette in his mouth.
She closed the door, looking as if she was facing death with equanimity.
"What's the matter?" Fu Huai 'an didn't turn his head and asked lightly with the cigarette in his mouth.
In the smoke-filled room, Fu Huai 'an's expression was a little unreal.
"You said that you need a woman, and Tuan Tuan needs a mother. Mr. Fu, I think that no matter if it's Tuan Tuan's mother or your woman, I might be more suitable than Gu Hanyan!" Lin Nuan's eyes were a little red, and her tone was a little unfriendly. "You were waiting for me to say that, right?"
Fu Huai 'an didn't say anything, his eyes drooping. Through the white smoke, his resolute facial features were indifferent.
If Fu Huai 'an didn't like Gu Hanyan, then Lin Nuan's stunning appearance would definitely be more attractive to men. And speaking of being Tuan Tuan's mother, didn't Tuan Tuan already treat Lin Nuan as his mother?
Lin Nuan wasn't stupid enough to not understand Fu Huai 'an's hint.
