Lin Nuan's fists were clenched tightly by her sides, and she felt as if something was stuck in her throat.
"But my husband has already touched all of this! He's handed all of this to others! "
Lin Nuan stared at Li Muyang, her gaze clear and unusually firm. "He's different from you! You said it yourself. My husband is different from you. Even if he's doing such a dangerous business, he still has a bottom line! He's … completely different from you! "
"Then, Nuan Nuan, are you willing to admit that we're from the same world?"
After going one big round and exposing Fu Huai 'an's background, Li Muyang wanted Lin Nuan to admit that they were from the same world?
Lin Nuan shook her head firmly. "We're not from the same world! You and I, Huai 'an and you, we're not from the same world! "
Faced with Lin Nuan's stubbornness, Li Muyang didn't insist on arguing. He smiled, and his classic European eyes deepened. "It's said that it's easy to lie to others, but hard to lie to yourself. I hope you feel the same way!"
The two of them stood there in a stalemate, as if frozen. If it weren't for the butterflies dancing around them, one would think that Lin Nuan and Li Muyang were characters in a painting.
Ah Zhan pushed open the door and entered from the small door on the first floor. He quickly ran to Li Muyang's side and said something in Li Muyang's ear with one hand covering his mouth.
Lin Nuan saw that Ah Zhan's other hand was hanging in front of his chest. She recalled Li Muyang saying that Ah Zhan had gotten injured in order to save her. Her lips moved slightly, unsure if she should thank him.
"So fast?" There was a smile in Li Muyang's dark eyes.
Lin Nuan could vaguely sense that Gu Qingcheng had probably come to pick her up.
Lin Nuan swallowed her words of thanks. She became nervous, afraid that Li Muyang wouldn't let her go!
Ah Zhan nodded. "I've already invited her to the living room. Sir, do you want me to go …"
Because Lin Nuan was around, Ah Zhan hesitated to say the word "send her away."
Ah Zhan knew that Li Muyang viewed Lin Nuan in a different light and wasn't willing to let Gu Qingcheng take her away. He couldn't say this in front of Lin Nuan.
Li Muyang looked at Lin Nuan's clear and pure eyes that were looking at him. His Adam's apple vibrated slightly …
No matter how calm Lin Nuan appeared, her clenched fists by her sides betrayed her inner feelings.
"Your husband's man, Gu Xiaosheng, is here to pick you up!" Li Muyang told Lin Nuan honestly.
Ah Zhan felt depressed. He didn't understand why his boss was so honest with Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan was smarter than the Shi Hanmei of the past. Li Muyang knew that he couldn't hide it from Lin Nuan. Rather than making Lin Nuan hate him, he might as well tell her the truth.
Although she wasn't familiar with Gu Qingcheng, Lin Nuan couldn't help feeling unusually excited when she heard that Gu Qingcheng, who had come to pick her up, had arrived.
Hearing Li Muyang's words, Lin Nuan didn't say a word. She merely stared at Li Muyang, waiting for him to answer whether he was going to let her go or not. She felt a little flustered.
"Nuan Nuan …" Li Muyang lowered his voice, his gaze unfathomable. "In America, I'm the only one who can protect you. Gu Qingcheng came in a hurry, and there are many people watching him. If you leave with him, you'll definitely expose Fu Huai 'an. If you want to leave with him, I won't stop you!"
Lin Nuan was stunned.
"Everyone wants to find out who the Mr. Moral behind Gu Qingcheng is. If you leave with Gu Qingcheng so openly, smart people will naturally follow the clues. No matter how well Gu Qingcheng hides his traces, it'll take at most half a month for them to find out who Fu Huai 'an is! By then, your peaceful days in Haicheng will be over … "
She didn't know if Li Muyang was being alarmist, but if he was trying to scare Lin Nuan, then he had succeeded!
Hearing Li Muyang's words, Lin Nuan was flustered.
Her ears were filled with the sounds of birds chirping and flowing water. Lin Nuan forced herself to calm down. She held back her heartbeat, smiled, and said to Li Muyang, "Mr. Li, you're being too alarmist. Putting aside whether what Mr. Li said about my husband being Mr. Moral is true or not, even if my husband is! Gu Qingcheng and my husband are best friends. If someone could find out who my husband is … they would have found out long ago. Why would they wait until today? "
The smile on Lin Nuan's lips made her look like she was bluffing …
But she didn't have much confidence, so she didn't dare to say that!
She had met Gu Qingcheng before, which meant that Gu Qingcheng often returned to Haicheng to meet with Fu Huai 'an. Just as Lin Nuan said, if someone could really find out who Fu Huai' an was, they would have found out long ago!
Li Muyang's gaze darkened. He increasingly felt that Lin Nuan was so smart that it made him want to take her for himself. It wasn't easy for her to remain calm at a time like this. He was happy about Lin Nuan's intelligence, but he was also annoyed that she didn't give him any chance.
If Shi Hanmei had been half as smart as Lin Nuan back then, she probably wouldn't have died and wouldn't have brought him so much trouble …
"Nuan Nuan, you're really … surprisingly smart!" Although Li Muyang had a gentle smile on his lips, there was clearly a hint of anger in his handsome and thin features.
Facing Lin Nuan, this was probably the first time Li Muyang felt helpless!
He could use schemes to deceive her, but Lin Nuan was too smart!
He couldn't beat her up, so Li Muyang really had internal anger that he couldn't vent and scare Lin Nuan.
Facing Lin Nuan was something that made Li Muyang both happy and tormented at the same time.
"You can leave with Gu Qingcheng, but I hope you'll remember my fondness for you, my sincerity and passion!" Li Muyang said word by word. His gaze was cold, not as passionate as his words.
Lin Nuan didn't say anything. Since she was about to leave, she didn't want to argue with Li Muyang endlessly. If Li Muyang went back on his word and detained her here, it wouldn't be worth it.
"If you don't mind, you can walk around here for a while. I still have other things to discuss with Mr. Gu. After we're done … I'll get Ah Zhan to bring you over!" Li Muyang glanced at Ah Zhan.
Ah Zhan nodded.
After seeing Li Muyang leave, Ah Zhan stood two meters away from Zi and Lin Nuan. He smiled and said to Lin Nuan, "Miss Lin, you can do as you please …"
Her gaze landed on Ah Zhan's arm, which was hanging in front of his chest. After all, he had gotten injured because he had saved her. Lin Nuan asked, "Are your injuries serious?"
"They're fine. That person didn't bring a gun. It's just that his dagger was too sharp. I underestimated him and let him take advantage of the situation to injure me!" Ah Zhan insisted on using Lin Nuan's mother tongue to speak to Lin Nuan, sounding a little stiff and even stuttering.
Lin Nuan smiled at Ah Zhan and thanked him. "Thank you for saving me!"
