Without seeing Bai Xiaonian, Lin Nuan was still at a loss. She twisted her fingers together, revealing her nervousness.
Fu Huai 'an held the steering wheel with one hand and held Lin Nuan's petite hand with the other.
Warmth spread from his dry and strong hand to her heart through her cold fingertips, making her entire body warm up with the flow of her blood.
Lin Nuan saw the scenery outside the car window moving backward, and her chaotic heart gradually calmed down.
She felt sweat on her palms. She gripped Fu Huai 'an's large hand and asked nonchalantly, "Did you smoke last night?"
Fu Huai 'an emptied the ashtray after he finished smoking last night and washed up again. He didn't expect Lin Nuan to still find out.
Not hearing Fu Huai 'an say anything, Lin Nuan said, "You're addicted to smoking, so I'm afraid it's impossible for you to quit immediately. Sometimes, when you smoke, I can smell a hint of cigarette smoke on your body. Take it slow, and one day, you'll quit …"
Lin Nuan's voice was clear, and no other emotions could be heard.
Fu Huai 'an pried open Lin Nuan's sweaty palm with one hand and interlocked their fingers. "I'll quit!"
Lin Nuan nodded. She trusted Fu Huai 'an.
It wasn't far from the Cloud Top Condominium to the hospital …
When Fu Huai 'an parked the car in the underground parking lot, Lin Nuan had already unbuckled her seatbelt and exhaled a few times to relieve the heavy feeling in her heart that made it hard for her to breathe.
Lin Nuan didn't know Bai Xiaonian's condition, so she couldn't find a suitable way to console her.
She held hands with Fu Huai 'an as they stood in the elevator. She took out her phone from her bag with her other hand, but her finger tapped on Lu Jinbei's name. She wanted to ask about his condition, but the call didn't go through. She was very conflicted.
There were more and more people standing in the elevator. The moment the elevator door opened, the people coming out brushed past Lin Nuan's shoulder. Even though they didn't use much strength, they still made Lin Nuan stumble.
Fu Huai 'an naturally pulled Lin Nuan into his arms. He only walked in with Lin Nuan in his arms after the people in the elevator had left. Their posture was so warm and touching.
In the bright elevator, the mirror reflected Fu Huai 'an's actions as he pulled her into his arms. Lin Nuan smiled faintly, and her gloomy expression finally showed some liveliness.
She just wanted Bai Xiaonian to know that no matter what happened, she would always be by her side. That was probably enough!
She didn't need to ask Bai Xiaonian what had happened. She shouldn't rashly reopen old wounds. If Bai Xiaonian recalled it again, it would be painful again. She would also be in pain.
But when she stood in front of the ward, she was at a loss.
Through the transparent glass of the ward door, Lin Nuan could see Lu Jinnan feeding Bai Xiaonian sticky millet porridge mouthful by mouthful. Lu Jinbei was long gone.
Fu Huai 'an stood by Lin Nuan's side. Seeing that Lin Nuan didn't turn the doorknob and enter after a long time, he said, "There's an inside story to Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan's matter. It's not what we initially thought it was. We already investigated the matter last night, but I think it's better to let Bai Xiaonian tell you herself …"
As soon as the man finished speaking, Bai Xiaonian, who was leaning against the bed with difficulty, looked in Lin Nuan's direction.
Their eyes met. Bai Xiaonian wanted to smile at Lin Nuan, but the moment the corners of her lips curled up, it hurt her wound. She didn't dare to grimace too much.
Lu Jinnan turned his head. He noticed Lin Nuan and turned back to say something to Bai Xiaonian. He then placed the bowl of porridge on the bedside table and walked towards the door …
She opened the door and stood face to face with Lu Jinnan. The marks left by Lin Nuan's metal bag on his face had already coagulated into scabs, and there was stubble on his chin. His originally fair and clean features were filled with fatigue, unlike his usual energetic self.
"Xiaonian is awake …" Lu Jinnan said to Lin Nuan.
She nodded. Not wanting to talk to Lu Jinnan any further, she said in a hoarse voice, "Excuse me …"
Only then did Lu Jinnan realize that he was blocking Lin Nuan's path, so he moved aside to make way.
Lin Nuan walked in with a soft leather shoulder bag in hand. Her shoulder brushed past Lu Jinnan's chest in an imposing manner, forcing him to take a step back and knock into the wall.
Lin Nuan's attitude towards Lu Jinnan was different, and Lu Jinnan's attitude towards Lin Nuan had also changed.
This change was fully expressed in his body language.
Lin Nuan's current identity was not only the wife of Lu Jinnan's best friend, but she was also Bai Xiaonian's best friend in the world …
Lu Jinnan had never thought that he would one day land himself in such a situation. If he had known earlier … he would have been kinder to Lin Nuan in the past.
Lu Jinnan closed the door and gave Bai Xiaonian and Lin Nuan some space. His eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his fists were clenched by his sides. "Old Fu, help me investigate three people …"
After Lu Jinnan heard Bai Xiaonian say how she jumped off the building, he even had the urge to grab a knife and kill someone!
It was just that there was no one by Bai Xiaonian's side to take care of her, so he didn't dare leave.
Bai Xiaonian said that she didn't know the two men and one woman, but from what they said, it sounded like they had a grudge against Lu Jinnan and planned to capture Bai Xiaonian to force him to break one of his legs.
Knowing what Lu Jinnan was referring to, Fu Huai 'an thoughtfully put his hands in his pockets and said after a moment of silence, "I've already found them! Tang Zheng has already taken care of it, so you don't have to worry about this. Taking good care of Bai Xiaonian is the most important thing … "
Lu Jinnan paused and immediately asked, "Who did it?"
"The son and daughter of Guangxia Pharmaceuticals. A few years ago, in order to help the Kaide Corporation take over Guangxia Pharmaceuticals, you broke one of their legs and held a knife to his neck to force him to sign. His son and daughter wanted to take revenge for their father, and they tampered with your car …"
Fu Huai 'an spoke slowly and calmly, but it was enough to make Lu Jinnan's blood boil. He tugged at his collar, a murderous look in his eyes.
"What about the other one?" Lu Jinnan's fingers tightened as he asked.
"The precious grandson of the Wang family in Haicheng West. He's lying in the ICU right now, and it's hard to say whether he'll wake up or not …"
Seeing a nurse pass by with a trolley, Fu Huai 'an moved to the side to make way for her …
The nurse subconsciously stole a glance at Fu Huai 'an, then at Lu Jinnan. She returned to the nurses' station and started chattering with her colleagues.
The two men in suits with completely different styles stood at the door of the ward. They were so handsome that one couldn't close their legs.
A nurse who had been on night shift yesterday and hadn't left yet looked at the handsome man her colleague was talking about. Seeing Lu Jinnan turn around, she lowered her voice and said with pity, "That handsome guy seems to have a girlfriend. The one lying in the ward is her. Professor Bai Jinyu personally performed the surgery yesterday, but it's a pity … his girlfriend seems to have been taken by someone else!"
