Hot air slowly rose with the fragrance of red dates. Her long and curly eyelashes were faintly covered with a layer of mist, blurring her obsidian-like eyes.
Lin Nuan swallowed the snack in her mouth. Even if he was really Mr. Moral … Lin Nuan was already married to him, so she would naturally share his misfortunes and blessings.
Her heart gradually calmed down.
Ah Zhan's phone vibrated in his pocket. He saw Lin Nuan put down the teacup in her hand and take out a tissue to wipe her mouth. He covered his mouth with one hand and turned sideways to pick up the call.
The person on the other end of the line was indeed asking Ah Zhan to bring Lin Nuan over.
Even though Ah Zhan was unwilling, he still put away his phone and said respectfully to Lin Nuan, "Miss Lin, let me bring you over …"
Lin Nuan smiled at Ah Zhan and said, "Just call me Mrs. Fu! It's more pleasing to the ear. "
Ah Zhan paused for a moment, then nodded. "Mrs. Fu!"
Following Ah Zhan out from the small door on the first floor, Lin Nuan saw Li Muyang and Gu Qingcheng standing in front of the fountain in the manor.
Li Muyang had devilishly exquisite and handsome features. Even though he was thin and sickly, his flaws couldn't obscure his beauty! It wasn't a big deal if they were alone … but when Gu Qingcheng and Li Muyang stood together, they didn't pale in comparison. Gu Qingcheng usually didn't smile much, but it couldn't be denied that he had a handsome face that made one's heart palpitate.
One had a bewitching smile on his lips, while the other was as calm as water and cold and handsome.
Seeing Lin Nuan and Ah Zhan come over, the smile on Li Muyang's devilishly handsome and thin face became even wider. Even though his face was pale and bloodless, the smile on his lips still made the gardeners in the manor unable to bear to look away.
A black car was parked behind Gu Qingcheng. Lin Nuan guessed that it was Gu Qingcheng who drove it.
Lin Nuan could count on one hand the number of times she had spoken to Gu Qingcheng, but right now, she only felt at ease and cordial.
Lin Nuan also trusted Fu Huai 'an's friend.
Unlike Li Muyang, who was dressed casually, Gu Qingcheng, who was tall and had long legs, wore a dark blue fur coat that accentuated his broad shoulders. His trousers were well-ironed …
He had a black scarf around his neck, and he wore a woolen sweater over a white shirt with a stiff collar. He held a cigarette in one hand and a pair of leather gloves in the other, looking travel-worn.
His facial features were cold, and his deep and narrow phoenix eyes were filled with indifference. Even if he didn't speak and just stood there, his murderous aura was enough to make people feel cold.
He tapped away the ash on his cigarette and looked in Lin Nuan's direction. He saw that Lin Nuan's exquisite face was pale, and her jade-like eyes were reddened. He didn't know what she was saying to Li Muyang, but her expression was calm.
Li Muyang's lips curled up even more, and his deep gaze became increasingly deep.
Gu Qingcheng casually flicked away the unfinished cigarette between his fingers, and the fine sparks collided with the ground, shattering it.
Gu Qingcheng opened the car door and took out a lady's coat from the car, then walked towards Lin Nuan.
Seeing Gu Qingcheng walking toward her, Lin Nuan suppressed her racing heartbeat and smiled at Gu Qingcheng as if he were an old friend.
Gu Qingcheng stood in front of Lin Nuan and handed the coat to her. "Put it on!"
When they came to pick her up, Fu Huai 'an instructed Gu Qingcheng to buy a coat for Lin Nuan, fearing that she would be cold. Gu Qingcheng, who knew nothing about women's clothing, got someone to buy it for him, not knowing if Lin Nuan would like it.
After thanking him, Lin Nuan took the coat and put it on. She asked worriedly, "If I go with you now, will someone find out about Huai 'an?"
Lin Nuan was Fu Huai 'an's wife, so Gu Qingcheng treated Lin Nuan as one of his own. Gu Qingcheng, who was a man of few words, raised a hand to support Lin Nuan's lower back and said calmly in Lin Nuan's ear, "Your safety is more important. Let's go!"
Walking to the side of the car, Lin Nuan saw Victoria putting a coat on Li Muyang.
Gu Qingcheng helped Lin Nuan open the backseat door …
Out of courtesy, Lin Nuan held onto the car door and thanked Li Muyang. "No matter what, thank you, Mr. Li, for saving me!"
Lin Nuan then looked at Ah Zhan, who was already standing behind Li Muyang. "Thank you too, Ah Zhan!"
Ah Zhan raised his head in surprise and looked at Lin Nuan, nodding respectfully at her.
Li Muyang smiled, his gaze sweeping over Gu Qingcheng and finally meeting Lin Nuan's clear and clean eyes. "Mr. Gu, you brought a lot of good will with you this time. We're even now. There's no need to thank me."
"That's what I should do! It's not nice to trouble Mr. Li for nothing. "Lin Nuan nodded at Li Muyang." Then I'll take my leave! "
After watching Lin Nuan get into the car, Li Muyang's smile widened.
Lin Nuan was trying to distance herself from him.
It was fine. If he wanted to get closer to Lin Nuan, he still needed more interaction and time. Li Muyang wasn't in a hurry …
Li Muyang gazed at Gu Qingcheng. "While you're in America, if Mr. Gu has any problems, you can contact Ah Zhan. I'll definitely do my best to help you!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded, his expression still as calm and indifferent as before, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.
It was only after Gu Qingcheng drove away from the manor that Ah Zhan went up and said to Li Muyang in a low voice, "Boss, let's go back. It's getting cold outside."
Li Muyang's hands, which were in his pockets, slowly clenched into fists, and the smile on his lips gradually faded. He believed … that one day, Lin Nuan would return here! She definitely would!
…
It wasn't until the car drove out of Li Muyang's manor that Lin Nuan truly felt at ease.
Her stiff back leaned against the leather seat, and she let out a long exhale.
Gu Qingcheng glanced at the relieved Lin Nuan through the rearview mirror and said, "Old Fu will be here soon."
Lin Nuan nodded. Gu Qingcheng's deep and slow voice had the power to soothe one's heart.
"I'm just afraid …" Lin Nuan opened her mouth, her voice a little hoarse. "I'm afraid I'll implicate Huai 'an."
Gu Qingcheng didn't speak for a long while. He had always been a man of few words, and most of the people he dealt with were his subordinates. Gu Qingcheng wasn't very good at comforting people, especially women. After a while, he said, "No."
Lin Nuan smiled at Gu Qingcheng. She turned her head and looked at the scenery outside that kept retreating, her heart feeling heavy.
She had a feeling that there were signs of danger circling around them since Dubai. She was afraid that her future life would be filled with trepidation, going against the peace and tranquility she wanted.
Red light.
Gu Qingcheng had one hand on the steering wheel as he stopped the car. Seeing that they were about to reach the hotel, he said to Lin Nuan …
"There's a hat, mask, and scarf in the bag in the backseat. Put them on when we arrive at the hotel entrance. They might offend you and make intimate gestures when we get out of the car. In the lobby on the first floor, go to the washroom. Someone will receive you there! As long as your identity isn't exposed, Old Fu will be safe. "
Understanding what Gu Qingcheng meant, Lin Nuan nodded.
Woman's bag, she took out a mask, sunglasses, and cap and put them on, fully gearing up.
