Outside the window, two stray cats were hunching their backs and baring their teeth at each other, as if they would attack at any moment.
Lin Nuan's heart was beating especially fast after being startled awake. Her head was throbbing along with her heartbeat, and her throat was burning uncomfortably.
Lin Nuan's legs, which were curled up on the sofa's single seat, were already numb, and her neck was stiff and aching …
She felt for her slippers on the floor, wanting to go to the kitchen to get some water to drink. However, the room was dark and quiet, and when Lin Nuan's toes touched the slippers, she felt an inexplicable sense of eeriness. She retracted her legs and used her skirt to wrap her legs and feet, trying to warm them up a little.
In the dark, Lin Nuan couldn't tell what time it was, so she could only stare at the door.
Her head hurt more and more, and she felt more and more dizzy. Lin Nuan couldn't take it anymore and leaned her head against the sofa. She wanted to take a short nap and then wake up to wait for Fu Huai 'an, but she fell asleep the moment she closed her eyes.
The apartment door was quietly opened, and a tall figure pushed the door open and entered …
The bright lights in the corridor shone on Lin Nuan's slippers as she curled up on the sofa.
Fu Huai 'an appeared at the door wearing a black turtleneck and a black woolen coat. He had a dignified and steady aura, and because he hadn't been able to rest for the past few days, his cold face appeared very thin. His sharp and deep eyes were visibly bloodshot, and he exuded a cold aura and fatigue.
Seeing Lin Nuan's exquisite features … seeing her safely appear before him, quietly sleeping on the sofa, the coldness in Fu Huai 'an's eyes was gradually dispelled by gentleness, and his reddened eyes felt a little sore.
He closed the door, removed his woolen coat, and casually placed it on the back of the sofa. The little woman curled up on the sofa moved slightly, her eyelashes fluttering like butterflies. She seemed to want to wake up, but in the end, she couldn't overcome her fatigue and fell asleep.
Fu Huai 'an propped his hands on the sofa's armrests and bent over to plant a kiss on Lin Nuan's forehead.
He closed his eyes, feeling a slight pain in his heart after he relaxed. She must have been very afraid when Li Muyang took her away, right?
He sat down close to Lin Nuan and circled her in his arms, his large hand grabbing onto Lin Nuan's exposed feet. Her jade-white feet were cold, and when Fu Huai 'an's large and warm hand grasped them, Lin Nuan felt her entire body heat up in her sleep.
Fu Huai 'an carefully let Lin Nuan lean into his arms, kissing her long hair repeatedly. It was as if he had been fortunate enough to see a treasure that he had lost and regained. He greedily inhaled the familiar fragrance and scent of her hair.
As the source of warmth approached, Lin Nuan, who was shivering all over, subconsciously buried her head into Fu Huai 'an's chest. Her nostrils were filled with the familiar and reassuring scent of a mature man. Her tense nerves gradually relaxed, and even her brows relaxed.
Before he saw Lin Nuan, Fu Huai 'an's nerves were tense. He kept thinking about what he should do if something happened to Lin Nuan!
Now that he saw that Lin Nuan was safe and sound, he felt relieved. To think that he had such a lingering fear!
In his heart, this was probably how Lin Nuan felt when she thought he had gotten into a car accident in Dubai!
Fu Huai 'an's eyes were swollen. He thought that by letting You Nainai follow Lin Nuan, and with Lin Nuan by his side, he would definitely be able to protect her. However, she still ended up in trouble.
Even though Lin Nuan had experienced Iraq and war, to Lin Nuan, Fu Huai 'an's previous world was foreign to her. Would she be afraid?
Fu Huai 'an recalled the three months he had been in a coma before he brought Tuan Tuan back from overseas.
In those three months, after he woke up, Gu Qingcheng took over all of Fu Huai 'an's businesses as the spokesperson for "Mr. Moral."
Lu Jinnan said that when Fu Huai 'an was in a coma, this was a decision made by Tang Zheng, Lu Jinnan, and Gu Qingcheng.
Needless to say, after Lu Jinnan was released from prison, Fu Huai 'an didn't let Lu Jinnan get involved in any dangerous things …
At that time, Fu Huai 'an had already arranged for Tang Zheng to extricate himself from that quagmire and was making arrangements for Gu Qingcheng. Because Gu Qingcheng had helped Fu Huai' an handle most of his businesses, and there were too many people who had seen Gu Qingcheng, it was more tiring to make arrangements.
However, Fu Huai 'an didn't have any plans or arrangements for himself.
Fu Huai 'an had long known that it wasn't easy to get involved in this mess. Once one entered this line of work … there weren't many who could have a good ending! Therefore, once he entered, he didn't think of leaving. He had his own ambitions, very strong ambitions.
Moreover, to ensure Lu Jinnan, Tang Zheng, and Gu Qingcheng's safety, Fu Huai 'an needed to be tied to that position his entire life. He had to be strong …
Strong enough that others wouldn't be able to find out who Lu Jinnan and the others were. Strong enough that even if they found out who they were, they wouldn't dare to touch them out of fear of Fu Huai 'an.
However, when Fu Huai 'an got into an accident, Gu Qingcheng, Lu Jinnan, and Tang Zheng discussed and decided to push for someone to replace Fu Huai' an. This was because they were well aware of the reason why Fu Huai 'an couldn't extricate himself!
They hoped that Fu Huai 'an would stay away from these dangers!
Gu Qingcheng smoked a pack of cigarettes and made the decision to stand in front of Fu Huai 'an.
He said that he had helped Fu Huai 'an manage many businesses, and it had been like this all these years. There were many people who knew him, so he was the most suitable candidate.
Ever since Gu Qingcheng completely became the spokesperson of "Mr. Moral," Fu Huai 'an had really extricated himself from that bloody life. In these few years of peaceful life, the only thing that could pique Fu Huai' an's interest was the Kaide Corporation …
All these years, Fu Huai 'an had focused all his energy on the Kaide Corporation. He had also given his ambitions in his career to the Kaide Corporation, wanting to make the Kaide Corporation the number one conglomerate in the country.
After living a peaceful life for too long, one would really forget about danger.
Fu Huai 'an recalled what Lu Jinnan had asked him before he left for America. Lu Jinnan had asked Fu Huai' an if he regretted saving Qin Zhe. If he hadn't saved Qin Zhe, Lin Nuan probably wouldn't have suffered this time.
Deep down, Fu Huai 'an was a man who valued relationships. Even if he had to do it all over again, Fu Huai' an would still save Qin Zhe if he had to!
But if he had to do it all over again, he would definitely protect Lin Nuan well. He wouldn't be like this time, thinking that Lin Nuan would be careless just because she was right under his nose.
It wasn't that Fu Huai 'an didn't blame himself. He hugged Lin Nuan tightly, then carried her horizontally to the bedroom after a while.
Fu Huai 'an, who wasn't sure where the master bedroom was, carried Lin Nuan into the study. Seeing that something wasn't right, he carried Lin Nuan out and entered the master bedroom on the right.
On the plane, Fu Huai 'an took a shower and shaved, trying his best not to look disheveled.
He had thought that Lin Nuan would rush into his arms in tears after seeing him. He hadn't expected that Lin Nuan would fall asleep in this small apartment.
