Was it okay for her to look at Lu Qingcheng so openly?
Lin Nuan's heart was pounding, and she was hesitating whether she should look away. Coincidentally, Gu Qingcheng also raised his head and looked in her direction.
Gu Qingcheng was indeed a man with a dazzling temperament. Coupled with his handsome and cold facial features, he was filled with a cold and aloof temperament that was especially attractive to young ladies.
Lin Nuan held her breath and saw that Gu Qingcheng's gaze didn't move away from her …
Little Aunt was still chattering in Lin Nuan's ear about how handsome Lu Qingcheng was. She had the same reaction as any other young lady.
Lin Nuan heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Looking over and whispering to each other was the normal reaction of a young lady …
Lin Nuan was wearing a black knee-length puffy short skirt and black high heels, which made her long and fair legs look even more slender and straight!
She was wearing a black leather jacket, and her waist-length hair was like a waterfall, which made her palm-sized face look even whiter and more tender, as if water could be squeezed out of it. Her black and white eyes were like black gemstones, but they were enough to attract people's attention.
Any normal man would probably take a few more glances at such a dazzling beauty.
Their gazes met, and the look in Gu Qingcheng's eyes made Lin Nuan feel at ease.
She clutched her bag tightly and walked even straighter, looking like she was trying to use her beauty to attract Gu Qingcheng's attention.
Even when Lin Nuan brushed shoulders with Gu Qingcheng, their gazes were still entangled …
The short-haired young lady kept turning around, tugging at Lin Nuan's arm as she mumbled softly, "That man is still looking at you! What a superb man! I just don't know if he dares to come up and ask for your contact number! "
Gu Qingcheng's gaze was practically watching Lin Nuan leave, openly checking to see if anyone was following Lin Nuan.
"What are you looking at?"
As she spoke, a pair of slender arms wrapped around Gu Qingcheng's neck, and a clean, slender, and fair hand turned Gu Qingcheng's face …
Gu Qingcheng turned around, and the great beauty who was wearing the coat, hat, and mask that Lin Nuan had come with came out. She pretended to be intimate with Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng's lips curled up, his large hand holding the woman's slender waist as they walked towards the elevator.
The few people in the hall who had different expressions just now followed Gu Qingcheng.
…
Coming out of the hotel, the short-haired girl flagged down a taxi.
Once in the car, the young lady looked back and took off her coat. "No one is following us!"
Lin Nuan paused and subconsciously looked at the driver in front, feeling uneasy.
"We're friends!" The young lady smiled at Lin Nuan and said, "Mr. Gu asked us to send you to the apartment. Everything in the apartment has been prepared for you!"
The young lady then handed the red bag to Lin Nuan. "There's your phone and cash in here. We'll be nearby to protect you!"
Lin Nuan wanted to ask the young lady who they were, but she swallowed her words and only nodded.
These people seemed to be Gu Qingcheng's subordinates, and Lin Nuan could tell that they were skilled. When the short-haired young lady next to her reached out to pull her, Lin Nuan could clearly feel the calluses on the young lady's hand between her thumb and index finger.
Moreover, Gu Qingcheng's subordinates were all great actors. It wouldn't be a problem for them to win an Oscar! Their acting skills were even better than professional actors!
The young lady was a little surprised. Seeing how weak and confused Lin Nuan looked just now, she had thought that Lin Nuan would ask a lot of questions. She hadn't expected Lin Nuan to nod so calmly.
As subordinates, they couldn't guess Lin Nuan's relationship with Gu Qingcheng …
Since Gu Qingcheng said that Lin Nuan was a very important person, then she must be very important, and they would protect her well.
Lin Nuan lowered her gaze and looked at the red bag, feeling very uneasy. Fu Huai 'an said that Gu Qingcheng was in charge of those dangerous businesses. Did that mean that these people were also Fu Huai' an's men?
Were they all killers?
Lin Nuan's heart was in a mess, and she couldn't help but feel goosebumps.
To Lin Nuan, such people only appeared on television and in novels. Now that she was in close contact with them, she felt uneasy, as if her life was on the line and she was on the run for her life.
This was really terrible …
After all, to Lin Nuan, firstly, she didn't have any extraordinary skills. She didn't even have the ability to protect herself if she encountered something! Secondly, she wasn't the kind of person who was especially adventurous and liked to seek out excitement!
This unknown world, which was filled with life and death, was so unfamiliar that it made her fearful for someone like her who was slow to warm up.
It wasn't like when she went to Iraq to look for Wen Moshen in 2016!
At that time, Lin Nuan felt that the world had lost its meaning. There was nothing more sorrowful than a dead heart.
But now, Lin Nuan had Fu Huai 'an, Tuan Tuan, and her good friends Bai Xiaonian and Song Yao!
She couldn't bear to leave her family!
Someone like Lin Nuan, who had weaknesses everywhere, didn't fit in with Fu Huai 'an's other world.
Without Fu Huai 'an by her side, Lin Nuan only felt inexplicably flustered and at a loss.
The short-haired girl next to her saw Lin Nuan leaning against the back of the chair with her eyes closed and didn't disturb her.
When they reached the condominium, the girl said to Lin Nuan, "Third floor, 0308. It's a lower floor. Even if you encounter a situation, it'll be easy to escape."
The girl was afraid that Lin Nuan didn't have experience, so she kindly reminded her. However, this made Lin Nuan even more uneasy, afraid that danger would befall her at any moment.
…
She took the key upstairs and opened the door. The sensor lights at the entrance lit up.
The condominium wasn't big, but it was clean and tidy.
Lin Nuan closed the door and changed into slippers, but she couldn't rest peacefully. She looked out through the peephole, then walked to the window and looked downstairs.
The taxi that brought her here was parked downstairs, which made Lin Nuan feel a little more at ease.
It was already sunset, and the warm orange sunlight shone in through the west window, illuminating the entire living room with a warm orange color that was calm and reassuring.
Looking out from the huge west window, the burning clouds in the sky became a colorful canvas for the tall buildings in the distance.
It was such a warm, colorful, and beautiful scene in front of her, but Lin Nuan's heart was heavy.
After entering the condominium, Lin Nuan placed the key on the coffee table. After a simple inspection of the environment, she hugged a pillow and sat on the single sofa facing the door. She stared at the door and calculated the time Fu Huai 'an would arrive.
Lin Nuan didn't want to stay abroad for a moment longer. She wanted to return home.
She felt that she would only be safe in the country.
The light from the setting sun moved from the sofa to the wall, getting darker and darker until night fell. Darkness enveloped the entire condominium, and only the colorful lights outside became a faint light source in the condominium.
Lin Nuan didn't know when she fell asleep leaning against the back of the sofa, hugging a pillow tightly in her arms.
She didn't sleep well, her brows furrowed as if the slightest movement would wake her up.
