When she went back to her hotel room to retrieve her phone, she was caught. There was still a bitter taste lingering in her nose and mouth. She must have been drugged!
Now, she suddenly woke up in an unfamiliar room, on an unfamiliar bed, and Li Muyang was sitting next to her …
Even her clothes had been removed and changed into comfortable silk pajamas. This made Lin Nuan feel as if her blood had stagnated, and her mind was buzzing.
She had no idea what Li Muyang had done to her while she was unconscious!
She recalled Fu Huai 'an's instructions to her. He said … that when he wasn't by her side, she should try not to get into direct conflict with Matt De Niro …
Lin Nuan held back the fear in her heart. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Her heart was beating violently, and it felt as if it was stuck in her throat.
"I know you're scared right now, and I want to know what exactly happened!" Li Muyang looked at Lin Nuan's expression, which was flushed red like an injured deer looking at a hunter, and hurriedly explained, "You were drugged and were about to be taken away from the hotel. My bodyguard, Ah Zhan, saw it and saved you. At that time, my plane was about to take off. Moreover, I didn't bring many people with me to Venice. Seeing that group of people chasing after me, I could only bring you onto the plane and bring you to America. Because the flight application was approved, I couldn't turn around after taking off. I've already spoken to your husband on the phone! He'll come and pick you up very soon … "
As he spoke, Li Muyang's deep eyes stared at Lin Nuan, who looked as if she was facing a formidable enemy. Afraid of scaring Lin Nuan, he smiled and gestured for her to move to the bedside table. Then, under Lin Nuan's gaze, he walked to the bedside table and pulled open the drawer …
Li Muyang took out the satellite phone from the bedside table drawer and tossed it to Lin Nuan's feet. "If you don't believe me, you can call your husband and ask him! Your husband is on the plane right now, and it should have been three hours since he took off. "
Lin Nuan looked at the phone within her reach, her palms sweating. She swallowed with difficulty, adjusted her voice, and asked, "My … my clothes!"
She was clearly trying to suppress the trembling in her voice. It was so shaky that one could easily sense the panic in her heart.
"Your clothes are dirty. I asked the maid to help you change them! If you don't believe me, I'll ask her to come in … "Li Muyang shouted outside the door," Victoria … "
A woman in her thirties, wearing a formal suit and with blonde hair coiled up, walked in. She crossed her hands in front of her abdomen and bowed to Li Muyang and Lin Nuan, asking politely, "What do you need?"
Li Muyang's eyes were only looking at Lin Nuan, as if she was the only one left in the world. There was an obvious joyful smile on his lips as he said calmly, "Explain to this lady, the clothes she's wearing …"
"I'm sorry, Miss. I helped you change your clothes without your permission. Ah Zhan was injured, and when he carried you back, his blood stained your clothes. That's why I helped you change your clothes. Don't worry, the pajamas you're wearing are brand new. Your clothes have also been sent to be cleaned and will be sent back to you soon!"
Victoria explained with a smile, seeming to think that Lin Nuan was worried that the clothes she was wearing weren't new.
Lin Nuan felt a little more at ease, but she didn't let her guard down just because Li Muyang had said so much to this lady called Victoria. After nodding, she took the phone that Li Muyang had tossed to her and dialed Fu Huai 'an's number with trembling hands.
The phone beeped a few times before it got through …
"My wife's awake?"
Fu Huai 'an's mature and deep voice rang out, and in that instant, Lin Nuan's tears almost flowed out.
"Huai 'an!" Lin Nuan's voice was so choked up that she almost couldn't make a sound. It was so hoarse that it broke one's heart.
She suppressed her urge to cry and called out Fu Huai 'an's name. Her throat couldn't make a sound anymore, leaving behind only a swelling pain.
"Xiao Nuan, it's fine now …"
On the other end of the line, Fu Huai 'an's magnetic voice had a comforting gentleness to it. "I'm on the way to pick you up. I'll be there in ten hours at the latest! I'll get someone to pick you up first. Once he's here, don't worry and leave with him. Gu Qingcheng, whom you've met before. "
Gu Qingcheng happened to be in Canada, which was very close to the US. It would be the fastest if he rushed over! Moreover, Fu Huai 'an wouldn't feel at ease letting someone else pick Lin Nuan up.
Lin Nuan nodded before realizing that Fu Huai 'an couldn't see it. She held back her emotions, unwilling to show her fear in front of outsiders. She suppressed the trembling in her voice and said, "En, there's no rush. I'm very safe now."
"En, do you feel any discomfort?"
"I still feel a little dizzy and can't get up!" Lin Nuan told him the truth. She held back her sobs, but she couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes.
Her thin and slender body was curled up at the head of the bed, hugging her knees. She looked like an injured little animal that was filled with fear towards the unknown environment.
Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an understood each other well. If she lied and said she was fine now, it would only make Fu Huai' an more worried.
"There's probably still remnants of the drug in your body. Don't worry, it won't cause any harm after your body metabolizes it."
Hearing Fu Huai 'an say this, Lin Nuan subconsciously raised her hand and placed it on her lower abdomen. Lin Nuan didn't know if the little life they were anticipating had arrived. If that little life came, would the drug affect that little life?
Fu Huai 'an gave Lin Nuan a few simple instructions and told her to call him if anything happened, then hung up the call.
Seeing Lin Nuan raise her head after hanging up the call, she gazed at him with her watery eyes …
Li Muyang revealed a friendly smile at Lin Nuan, but his eyes were so deep that Lin Nuan couldn't see through them. She couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"I'm sorry, and thank you for saving me!" Lin Nuan said to Li Muyang. Her tense nerves eased a little, and she hesitantly reached out to pass the satellite phone to Li Muyang.
Li Muyang gazed at Lin Nuan's fair and petite hand, which was still trembling a little. Her clear and bright eyes were trying hard to hold back the tears.
Li Muyang smiled and held onto the headboard with one hand as he took the phone. His pale and large hand seemed to have inadvertently touched Lin Nuan's fingertips …
The man's fingers were so cold, as if he had just come out of an icehouse, without a hint of warmth.
Lin Nuan immediately retracted her hand, clearly wary of Li Muyang.
Li Muyang didn't mind, merely assuming that Lin Nuan didn't do it on purpose. He said, "It's nothing! It's just that … I'm sorry, I brought too few people to Venice this time. After saving you, I was chased, so I could only bring you back to America. Later, I spent a lot of effort to find your husband's contact information, which is why I was late in contacting him by two days. "
"Two days?" Lin Nuan was surprised.
Li Muyang nodded. As if he was afraid that Lin Nuan would be scared, he smiled at her and said, "You've been unconscious for two days!"
