From afar, Uncle Hu saw Lin Nuan coming out. He saw that the windshield was covered in raindrops and was hesitating if he should bring an umbrella over to receive Lin Nuan. However, he saw Lin Nuan standing together with a man in a suit and leather shoes with a profound aura.
He sat in the car and didn't move, afraid that he would disturb Lin Nuan's conversation. However, he couldn't help but scrutinize Lin Chen …
Uncle Hu rarely saw a man with a strong aura like Fu Huai 'an, so he couldn't help but take a second look at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's suit was unbuttoned, and he wore a white shirt inside. He didn't have a tie on, and his collar was unbuttoned, revealing his sexy Adam's apple. It moved slightly as he smoked, and his facial features were blurred by the smoke. He looked very charming.
Even with the wide sidewalk between them, Uncle Hu could still vaguely sense that the tall man had handsome features. Otherwise, he wouldn't have attracted so many passersby's attention.
"I ate at noon." Lin Nuan's stomach was still hurting, and the medicine would only take effect in ten minutes.
Lin Chen moved the cigarette away from his lips and looked at Lin Nuan through the white smoke.
Liang Mulan kept asking if Lin Nuan ate on time, saying that she couldn't be hungry because of her stomach problems.
Lin Chen stood there with one hand in his pocket, trying to figure out if Lin Nuan had eaten at noon.
They had lived under the same roof for many years, so Lin Nuan could tell from Lin Chen's probing gaze. She said, "I really ate at noon, just not a lot …"
"I was busy with a meeting and didn't have time to eat at noon. Have some with me." Lin Chen tapped the cigarette ash and said in a noncommittal tone.
Lin Nuan didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, so she didn't reject him. She called Uncle Hu and asked him to leave first, and to meet him at the entrance of Tuan Tuan's kindergarten in the afternoon.
Uncle Hu was scared by Little Lu's words and quickly said, "Madam, if you have something to say to your friend, you can talk first. I'll come and pick you up when it's almost over!"
Lin Nuan didn't explain to Uncle Hu that Lin Chen was her brother. She simply said that she would call him twenty minutes in advance to pick him up.
"Then, Madam, do you need an umbrella? I'll give you one … "Uncle Hu looked at Lin Nuan and Lin Chen through the car window, his heart pounding.
Although he was only a chauffeur, if the mistress of the house was having an affair with another man and he didn't tell Mr. Fu in advance, would Mr. Fu fire him when he found out about it?
Uncle Hu was only worried about his job.
"Brother, do you need an umbrella?" Lin Nuan turned and asked Lin Chen.
"There's one in the car!" Lin Chen answered.
Hearing Lin Nuan call him brother, Uncle Hu heaved a sigh of relief. He had heard of Lin Nuan's background. Lin Nuan used to be the daughter of the Lin family. That man must be the current CEO of the Lin family, Lin Nuan's brother!
No wonder his temperament was so outstanding.
"It's okay, Uncle Hu …" Lin Nuan replied politely.
"Okay, then I'll go first. Call me in advance and I'll pick you up!"
After hanging up the call with Uncle Hu, Lin Chen told Lin Nuan to wait under the roof while he went to the car to get the umbrella …
The rain wasn't heavy, so Lin Nuan didn't wait for Lin Chen and ran after him.
Lin Chen turned his head and glanced at Lin Nuan, who was following beside him. He grabbed the lapel of his suit and placed it over Lin Nuan's head to shield her from the rain.
The two of them quickly ran to the car. Lin Chen opened the front passenger door for Lin Nuan and let her get in first.
After closing the door, Lin Chen walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat. He took off his suit jacket and casually placed it on the backseat, reminding Lin Nuan, "Seatbelt …"
Lin Nuan was still holding onto the mineral water bottle, wallet, phone, and medicine box. Before she could change her hands, Lin Chen had already moved closer to Lin Nuan and buckled the seatbelt for her.
"What do you want to eat?" Lin Chen put on his seatbelt and turned left, asking as he turned.
"You haven't eaten at this hour. Let's eat something light. Let's go to Uncle's Tea Restaurant! It's not far from here, at the Sunshine Plaza at the intersection of Renmin Road and Qujiang New Road. There's an underground parking lot there, so it's convenient to park there … "
"Okay!"
Lin Chen's car quickly merged into the traffic.
…
Because of the heavy rain, the traffic had already turned on their headlights. The shops on both sides of the road were also brightly lit.
Lin Chen parked the car in the underground parking lot and took the elevator to the tea restaurant with Lin Nuan.
Because it was already past mealtime, there were very few people at Uncle's Tea Restaurant.
Lin Chen and Lin Nuan sat in a private room with floor-to-ceiling windows. The waiter poured tea for them and handed them the menu.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of hot water, the discomfort in Lin Nuan's stomach eased a lot, and she felt hungry.
Lin Nuan indeed didn't eat much when she ate with Old Madam Fu today.
Lin Chen casually placed his suit jacket on the back of the seat and took out a pack of cigarettes and lighter. He sat down and said to Lin Nuan, "You decide …"
Lin Nuan followed Lin Chen's usual eating habits and ordered a few dishes — shrimp dumplings, porridge, and soup.
After the waiter left, Lin Nuan's phone rang. It was a WeChat message from Bai Xiaonian.
[Bai Xiaonian: How is it? Did Fu Huai 'an's grandmother make things difficult for you?]
Lin Nuan lowered her head and fiddled with her phone as she replied to Bai Xiaonian.
[Lin Nuan: It's not that difficult. I'll tell you in detail when we meet …]
Lin Nuan heard the sound of Lin Chen lighting his cigarette and lighter. She put down her phone and couldn't help but say, "Brother, don't smoke so much."
Lin Chen grabbed the ashtray with his cigarette-holding hand and tapped the ash into it. He said, "Lin Ran left the Lin family."
Lin Nuan was about to wipe the cutlery with a napkin when her hands paused. She looked at Lin Chen and said, "She … quarreled with her family?"
Lin Chen's deep eyes looked distant behind the white smoke. He shook his head and said, "This time, she didn't quarrel or make a fuss. She left peacefully …"
"Did something happen?" Lin Nuan asked.
After Lin Nuan left that day, Liang Mulan and Lin Jingquan couldn't stop praising Lin Ran for having grown up. The next morning, at the dining table, Liang Mulan and Lin Jingquan discussed that it would be Old Madam Lin's birthday banquet in a few days. This time, Lin Jingquan and Lin Jinghui had met with misfortune, so they wanted to hold a big banquet to wash away the bad luck.
Lin Jingquan nodded in agreement.
Liang Mulan recalled how Lin Ran and Lin Nuan got along well the night before and couldn't help but say to Lin Ran, "Ran Ran, now that you've grown up and become sensible, let's invite Nuan Nuan to Grandma's birthday banquet as well. Let's have some fun together, what do you say?"
Lin Ran didn't say anything. She lowered her head and drank the millet porridge in her bowl.
Liang Mulan smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay. If you don't want Nuan Nuan to come, then don't let her come! In the afternoon, Mom will accompany you to try on your gown. Let's see if there's anything that needs to be changed. We'll adjust it one last time. "
