Feeling a slight heartache, she placed her finger on the scar that was closest to his heart. She knew that this spot had almost been fatal. Her eyes turned hot as emotions surged through her. "I've always wanted to ask you why you have so many scars on your body. Are they all from the army?"
Lin Nuan didn't raise her head, afraid she wouldn't be able to hold back her tears.
She had once read an article about the special forces. The author had said … there was no such thing as a peaceful life in this world. There was only someone to carry the burden for you.
She could understand …
Even if she didn't see the scars on Fu Huai 'an's body, she had already experienced it in Iraq.
At that time, she and Fu Huai 'an didn't know each other, but Fu Huai' an took off his bulletproof vest and helmet and gave them to her!
Most of the scars on Fu Huai 'an's body were from his years as a spy …
Fu Huai 'an wasn't willing to tell Lin Nuan about those dark things, and he couldn't.
When it came to missions, even though Fu Huai 'an had retired from the army, he couldn't say those things.
Fu Huai 'an gently pulled her into his arms and said in a low voice, "Your heart aches for me?"
Lin Nuan clutched the clothes on both sides of Fu Huai 'an's narrow waist, her petite face pressed tightly against his chest as she nodded. "En …"
Fu Huai 'an hugged her even tighter.
Not wanting to let the atmosphere sink into such a heavy atmosphere, Fu Huai 'an patted Lin Nuan's shoulder. "Change your clothes and go somewhere in time for lunch! Although it's sunny in Jincheng today, it's very cold. I bought you a coat, scarf, and gloves. Go and see if you like it! "
"En!"
Lin Nuan lowered her head and moved away from Fu Huai 'an's embrace. When she walked out of the bedroom, there were tiny tears on her eyelashes.
Opening the bag beside the sofa, there was a camel-colored thin coat, a white scarf, and gloves. It looked very delicate and beautiful, and it was obvious that it had been carefully selected.
Lin Nuan gripped the furry scarf tightly, her heart aching even more.
That day at the cafe, Lu Jinnan's words kept replaying in Lin Nuan's mind like a curse.
Actually, Lin Nuan really wanted to hold Fu Huai 'an's hand and appear in front of everyone just like that, to tell everyone … that this good man was her husband.
But Lin Nuan didn't want Fu Huai 'an to become someone else's gossip.
There were some experiences that Lin Nuan had gone through … Even if she didn't care about it, it still hurt her heart.
Fu Huai 'an changed his clothes and saw Lin Nuan in a daze with the white scarf in her hand. He asked, "You don't like it?"
Lin Nuan looked up and smiled at Fu Huai 'an, shaking her head. "No, I like it very much!"
She put down her scarf and patted the sofa towards Fu Huai 'an. "I have something to tell you …"
"What do you want to say?" Fu Huai 'an sat down on the sofa.
Lin Nuan leaned against the sofa's armrest and interlocked her fingers with Fu Huai 'an's. She smiled and said, "I'm thinking … can we keep our marriage a secret?"
Fu Huai 'an gazed at Lin Nuan with his dark eyes and didn't say anything. The smile on his lips was unfathomable as he waited for Lin Nuan to continue.
"I'm not saying that we should hide it from our friends and family. Of course, we should let the people we care about know, but we shouldn't deliberately announce it to the media! I don't like to live my married life under the scrutiny of others. For example, if I go shopping alone today, people will say that we had a disagreement and have divorced. If you go out to eat with a female client tomorrow, people will say that Lin Nuan has been abandoned by a wealthy family and that Mr. Fu has found a new lover. Such news will affect one's mood … "
Lin Nuan's reason was well-thought out.
All these years, her married life had been exposed to the media and the public too much. Every time there was a stir in the wind, it would be written as a divorce. Some even said that they had already divorced a long time ago.
Fu Huai 'an didn't say anything, which made Lin Nuan feel especially uncertain. She pursed her lips and thought of what Xie Jingqian said in the morning …
"When one day you really learn to act coquettishly, you'll be out of control. It's too convenient!"
Lin Nuan mustered up her courage and grabbed Fu Huai 'an's arm with both hands, shaking it. "Okay?"
"Apart from this reason, are there any other reasons?" Fu Huai 'an's tone was normal.
Lin Nuan shook her head. "No!"
Fu Huai 'an nodded. "I'll think about it …"
He didn't reject her outright. Lin Nuan was already very satisfied with such an answer.
…
Lin Nuan put on her coat and wrapped her scarf around herself. She tucked her petite mouth and nose into the scarf, feeling very warm.
She walked out of the hotel hand in hand with Fu Huai 'an. The female lawyer from Fu Huai' an's law firm got out of the car and sized Lin Nuan up.
Fu Huai 'an opened the front passenger door for Lin Nuan and asked, "Didn't I ask Xiao Li to drive the car over? Why are you here?"
The female lawyer in a white suit glanced at Lin Nuan, who was getting into the car. She smiled and replied, "I happened to have something to do here. I'll be drinking a little later, so it's not convenient for me to drive, so I drove the car over for you. That way, Xiao Li won't have to call a cab back."
Fu Huai 'an closed the front passenger door and nodded as he took the car keys from the female lawyer. "Thanks!"
Fu Huai 'an then opened the driver's door and got into the car.
He reached out to fasten Lin Nuan's seatbelt and explained, "She's the current partner of my law firm. She's managing the law firm now!"
Lin Nuan chuckled. "Afraid I'll misunderstand?"
Fu Huai 'an wasn't in a hurry to start the car.
The female lawyer suddenly walked to the driver's seat and reached out to knock on the car window …
Fu Huai 'an rolled down the car window.
"I have to make a trip to World Trade Street. It's not far from here, but it's not easy to hail a cab here. Is it on the way? Give me a lift! "The female lawyer smiled at Fu Huai 'an.
Fu Huai 'an nodded and closed the car window.
The female lawyer pulled on the backseat door, but it didn't open. She then knocked on the car window and pointed at the backseat door.
Fu Huai 'an gazed at Lin Nuan and smiled. "If she knew I was married, this wouldn't have happened. Think about it, do you still want to keep our marriage a secret?"
Fu Huai 'an then unlocked the car door and let the female lawyer get into the car.
On the way, Lin Nuan lowered her head and played with her phone, not saying a word.
However, the female lawyer in the backseat couldn't hold it in and asked, "Huai 'an, is this your friend? Aren't you going to introduce her? "
While Fu Huai 'an was driving, his gaze swept over Lin Nuan. "Why don't you introduce yourself?"
Lin Nuan looked up and smiled, then turned to look at the female lawyer. "Hello, I'm Lin Nuan, Huai 'an's wife …"
The female lawyer's attitude toward Fu Huai 'an was too obvious, so obvious that Lin Nuan couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.
The female lawyer had clearly heard of Lin Nuan's name before. When she saw Lin Nuan's delicate face under the scarf, her lips opened slightly, so astonished that she couldn't react.
"Why … I didn't hear you mention when you got married?" The female lawyer forced a smile on her face.
"My wife wants to keep our marriage a secret. She doesn't plan on announcing it to anyone other than her close friends and family. Just now, I told her that you're a partner of my law firm. She probably thought you were my friend, so she didn't hide it from you …"
Fu Huai 'an's words were artistic.
