After Tuan Tuan left, Lin Nuan was left alone in the house. It was so quiet that it made her panic.
Without Fu Huai 'an around, Lin Nuan felt as if her backbone had been taken away.
She pulled herself together and sent Fu Huai 'an a message, saying that she had sent Tuan Tuan to kindergarten and that she would prepare a sumptuous meal for his return.
Without Fu Huai 'an around, Lin Nuan made herself busy …
She had no appetite for breakfast. After washing the dishes, she cleaned up the entire villa.
Lin Nuan, who was extremely exhausted, fell into a deep sleep as she sat on the sofa to rest and drink water.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw You Nainai bending over and covering her with a blanket, testing the temperature of her forehead with her hand.
"Nainai? Why are you here? "Lin Nuan propped herself up.
You Nainai straightened up and looked at Lin Nuan's overly pale face, saying worriedly, "Little Candy called me at noon from kindergarten. I heard from her that Tuan Tuan said Sir Fu isn't around today. He called you, but you didn't pick up. I was worried and came to take a look!"
Lin Nuan was still a little groggy. She picked up her phone that had fallen into the cracks of the sofa and glanced at it …
Perhaps she had accidentally turned off the volume while holding onto her phone when she fell asleep.
"Sorry, I accidentally pressed the mute button!"
You Nainai shook her head. "Sir Fu said that I have to stay by your side when he's not around. I'm late."
"Huai 'an will be back tonight. Nothing will happen to me at home, so there's no need to rush over!" Lin Nuan smiled at You Nainai.
Lin Nuan didn't eat breakfast. She spent the entire morning cleaning up and fell asleep in the afternoon from exhaustion. When she woke up, it was already 1: 30 pm. She was so hungry that her blood sugar was a little low, and she felt dizzy.
"Do you need to go to the hospital?" You Nainai looked at Lin Nuan anxiously and asked.
Lin Nuan shook her head. "Nainai, please heat up a glass of milk for me …"
You Nainai nodded and went to the kitchen to heat up the milk for Lin Nuan. Lin Nuan took the candy on the coffee table, peeled one, and put it in her mouth.
Lin Nuan leaned against the sofa and closed her eyes, feeling that time had passed exceptionally slowly today.
The strawberry-flavored candy melted in her mouth, and Lin Nuan felt nauseous. The feeling rushed up her throat, and she suddenly sat up …
Lin Nuan pulled out a tissue and spat out the candy, then retched a few times before the nauseous feeling subsided.
You Nainai, who came out with hot milk, patted her chest and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Nuan reached out to take the milk. After thanking him, she said, "Maybe the flavor in the candy is too strong. It's a little disgusting."
You Nainai suddenly recalled the time when she was pregnant with Little Candy. She remembered that she also felt nauseous after eating a piece of candy. She felt nauseous for a few days and only found out that she was pregnant when she went to the hospital.
You Nainai sat on the armchair and asked, "Could you be pregnant?"
Lin Nuan was stunned by You Nainai's question, and her heart started to race.
"I don't think so! My period just ended not long ago! According to the time of ovulation, it's not time yet … "
"That messed up ovulation date isn't that accurate! When I was pregnant with Little Candy, I also thought it was a safe period … "You Nainai's voice trailed off. She pursed her lips awkwardly and cleared her throat." Why don't I go buy a few pregnancy tests for you to try? "
During this period, Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an hadn't used protection. Perhaps … she was really pregnant.
Fu Huai 'an's absence caused the gloom in Lin Nuan's heart to slowly dissipate because of You Nainai's words.
"Then drink the milk first. I'll go buy pregnancy tests and be right back!"
Lin Nuan held back her heartbeat and nodded.
Hearing the sound of You Nainai closing the door, Lin Nuan placed her hand on her abdomen. If she was really pregnant, Fu Huai 'an would be very happy to find out when he returned!
Lin Nuan couldn't help feeling a little expectant.
Lin Nuan had just finished drinking the milk when You Nainai returned with a bunch of branded pregnancy tests.
"You don't need so many, do you?" Lin Nuan took the pregnancy tests and felt horrified.
"Sometimes, one pregnancy test isn't accurate. You have to try a few more!" You Nainai picked up one of them. "This can show when you're pregnant! I bought three just in case there's a problem! Take a closer look at these instructions, then go to the bathroom to test! "
Lin Nuan nodded, feeling very uneasy. She didn't know if the fruit of her and Fu Huai 'an's love had really arrived. She was so nervous that she even forgot about her hunger.
Lin Nuan entered the bathroom with the pregnancy tests and sat on the toilet. After reading the instructions carefully, she started to test them.
Lin Nuan couldn't use so many of the pregnancy tests that You Nainai bought, so she only used six.
After washing her hands, Lin Nuan stared at the pregnancy tests. The red vertical bar for comparison had already appeared, but the display area was still pure white.
Lin Nuan had just wiped her hands with a towel when she saw the words "not pregnant" appear on the blue test that You Nainai mentioned.
Lin Nuan couldn't help feeling disappointed. She picked up the other pregnancy tests and looked at them carefully under the light. They were still pure white, and there was nothing at all.
Previously, when she was planning to have a child with Fu Huai 'an, Lin Nuan had searched for many posts on pregnancy preparation and pregnancy reactions online. She kept using symptoms on herself, so by the time she realized that she was pregnant, she was already more than a month pregnant …
Lin Nuan's period had just ended, so the symptoms of nausea shouldn't be right.
Even though Lin Nuan already had a clear understanding in her heart, she still carefully picked up each pregnancy test and looked at them under the light.
After confirming that she wasn't pregnant, Lin Nuan wanted to throw the pregnancy tests into the bin. But after thinking about it, she felt that what if the results showed later on, so she picked up the pregnancy tests and put them aside, washing her hands again.
Lin Nuan raised her hand to her slightly aching head and walked out of the bathroom.
Seeing Lin Nuan come downstairs, You Nainai, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and looked up at the stairs. She asked, "How was it?"
Lin Nuan smiled and shook her head. "I felt nauseous just now, probably because there was nothing in my stomach and I suddenly ate candy, so I felt a little nauseous."
You Nainai nodded. As if she could tell that Lin Nuan wanted to have a good child, You Nainai said, "Maybe it's because you didn't get the results in such a short period of time. You can wait a few days before taking the test."
Lin Nuan nodded.
After eating a little, Lin Nuan felt that she had regained some strength, but her head still hurt.
She and You Nainai sat by the French windows with the TV on, holding a steaming cup of water in their hands. Their fingers were burning red, but they didn't realize it.
She wondered how Fu Huai 'an was doing.
Seeing that Lin Nuan wasn't in a good mood, You Nainai thought that Lin Nuan was feeling down because the pregnancy test didn't show that she was pregnant. However, she didn't know how to comfort Lin Nuan, so she could only sit by the side and look at Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan's phone, which was on the coffee table, vibrated. You Nainai glanced at Lin Nuan, who was in a daze. She picked up the phone and glanced at it. The caller ID didn't have a name, so she called out to Lin Huan and handed the phone to Lin Nuan. "The phone …"
Lin Nuan snapped back to her senses. She put down the cup in her hands and picked up the phone, placing it by her ear. "Hello, who is this?"
"Mrs. Fu …"
Ah Zhan's voice came from the other end of the line, causing Lin Nuan's nerves to tense up. She straightened her back slightly and pursed her lips tightly.
You Nainai saw that Lin Nuan looked as if she was facing a formidable enemy, and she stared at Lin Nuan without blinking.
"Mr. Fu should have been called in for questioning and hasn't returned yet. Our boss wants to meet with you. This matter concerns Mr. Fu!" Ah Zhan's voice sounded sincere and respectful.
Lin Nuan's voice was still calm. "My husband will be back tonight. You and your boss don't have to worry about his matters."
On the other end of the line, Ah Zhan's phone was taken away by Li Muyang …
"Nuan Nuan, do you really think that Fu Huai 'an will be back tonight?"
Li Muyang's deep and smiling voice came from the other end of the line, causing Lin Nuan to subconsciously tighten her grip on the corner of her shirt.
"I believe that Mr. Li is well-informed in the United States, but in China, Mr. Li's connections probably aren't that reliable!" Lin Nuan pretended to be calm, making her voice sound as relaxed as possible.
Fu Huai 'an said that he would be back tonight, so Lin Nuan believed that he would definitely be back tonight.
Li Muyang's low chuckle traveled into her ears. He said, "But there's evidence pointing to Fu Huai 'an as Mr. Moral. Do you think they'll let Mr. Fu come back so quickly?"
Lin Nuan clenched her fists. "You did it?"
Li Muyang wasn't surprised by Lin Nuan's intelligence. "Come out and meet me! You decide the location … If you're worried, you can bring that female bodyguard of yours. "
Lin Nuan directly hung up the call, feeling uneasy.
Thinking of how Fu Huai 'an had once admitted to her that he was Mr. Moral and how Fu Huai' an had secretly asked Gu Qingcheng to take care of those businesses, Lin Nuan felt uneasy.
If all of this was found out, what would happen to Fu Huai 'an?
Lin Nuan was very anxious, but she couldn't just blindly listen to Li Muyang say that the people who took Fu Huai 'an away knew that Fu Huai' an was Mr. Moral and went to meet Li Muyang in a panic!
Lin Nuan thought of Lu Jinnan. She vaguely remembered that Fu Huai 'an had said that both Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng knew about the businesses he had asked Gu Qingcheng to take care of.
Lin Nuan had only heard about Fu Huai 'an's businesses from Li Muyang, so she didn't know the details. She couldn't act on her instincts and impulsiveness when she encountered problems. She had to discuss it with someone in the know lest things backfire and end up being bad for Fu Huai' an.
She forced herself to calm down and not panic. Almost without hesitation, she dialed Lu Jinnan's number.
After receiving Lin Nuan's call, Lu Jinnan didn't dare to delay for even half a minute. He quickly drove to Tianfu Bay.
Tang Zheng also rushed to Tianfu Bay after receiving Lu Jinnan's call. He lived closer to Lu Jinnan, so he arrived much faster than Lu Jinnan.
The moment Tang Zheng entered the door and saw You Nainai, he couldn't be bothered to greet You Nainai. He asked Lin Nuan, "Old Lu said that Old Fu was taken away. What's going on?"
You Nainai knew that something was up, so she didn't avoid him just because Tang Zheng was there. She said, "I'll stand guard outside the door!"
Lin Nuan nodded.
Lin Nuan didn't plan on letting more people know that Fu Huai 'an was "Mr. Moral," even though she still trusted You Nainai.
Lin Nuan's throat swelled. "Yesterday afternoon, someone came to look for Huai 'an. Judging from the way he walked and the way he carried himself, he seemed like a soldier. Later, after dinner, someone came to show Huai' an his identification. He was too fast, so I didn't get a good look at his identification. I thought he was a police officer, but now that I think about it, those people's words and actions also seemed like soldiers! I feel that … Huai 'an being taken away might have something to do with the person who came to look for him yesterday afternoon, but I don't know who he is! "
As she spoke, Lu Jinnan also entered the door.
Lin Nuan repeated what she had said to Tang Zheng earlier to Lu Jinnan.
She looked at Lu Jinnan and said, "Just now, I received a call from Li Muyang. He said that those people took Huai 'an away because there's evidence pointing to Huai' an being" Mr. Moral. "Huai 'an told me that he would be back by tonight at the latest, but Li Muyang said that Huai' an wouldn't be back tonight …"
Lin Nuan's heart was in a mess. Even though she tried her best not to tremble in her voice, she spoke whatever was on her mind. Her words were all over the place, and Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan could see the panic in her heart.
"Don't panic!" Tang Zheng comforted Lin Nuan.
Lu Jinnan knew of Li Muyang.
He frowned and asked Lin Nuan, "Why did he call you?"
"He said he wanted to meet me!" Lin Nuan bit her lip and frowned. "I asked if Huai 'an was taken away because of him, but he didn't give me a direct answer. He only asked me to meet him, and I'll choose the location and bring Nainai along!"
Ever since Gu Qingcheng took Lin Nuan away from Li Muyang's place when she was abducted, Gu Qingcheng, Lu Jinnan, and Tang Zheng all knew that Li Muyang harbored unusual feelings toward Lin Nuan.
"Should we inform Old Gu?" Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan discussed.
Lu Jinnan hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "If Gu Qingcheng finds out that Old Fu was taken away, who knows what he'll do. Don't tell him for now."
Tang Zheng frowned and nodded, feeling that what Lu Jinnan said made sense.
"I think …" Tang Zheng looked at Lin Nuan. "Why don't we let Lin Nuan meet Li Muyang and see what she can find out from him? We'll accompany Lin Nuan and watch from afar to make sure nothing happens! With Nainai by Lin Nuan's side, nothing should go wrong! "
Moreover, Fu Huai 'an had arranged for quite a number of people to protect Lin Nuan by her side, and they were in Haicheng.
Even if Li Muyang harbored other intentions, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything to Lin Nuan in Haicheng.
"It's fine if you're unwilling to go!" Lu Jinnan said to Lin Nuan, afraid that she would feel burdened.
Lin Nuan shook her head. "As long as you feel that it's beneficial for Huai 'an, I'll go!"
"If we go, we can at least find out what he did to make the military take Old Fu away for questioning. If we can find out … we can target him when we do things!" Tang Zheng said.
Lu Jinnan nodded. "Let's meet at a cafe with more people. Let's go too!"
Lin Nuan didn't hesitate. "Okay, I'll go! I'll call Li Muyang back right now! "
Lin Nuan grabbed the phone and called back. This time, it was Li Muyang who picked up the call.
As if he was certain that Lin Nuan had called to set up a time and place with him, Li Muyang smiled and said, "Time and place!"
Lin Nuan glanced at Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng, then glanced at the grandfather clock in the living room. She said to Li Muyang, "In half an hour, at the open-air cafe on the first floor of Century Flourishing Tang."
"Okay!" Li Muyang agreed immediately. "See you in half an hour!"
After hanging up the call, Lin Nuan went upstairs to get a coat and put it on. She then sat in You Nainai's car and headed to Century Flourishing Tang. Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng sat in the same car and followed closely behind.
In the car, Lin Nuan looked at the scenery outside the car window that kept moving backward. She rehearsed what she should say when she saw Li Muyang later, her mind a mess.
Friday was Christmas. A week ago, the sidewalks and the windows of the shops facing the streets were already filled with a strong Christmas atmosphere.
There were decorated Christmas trees everywhere, as well as red and white Santa Claus decorations. Colorful lights shone brightly, and the shops were also playing songs with a strong Christmas atmosphere.
Lin Nuan thought of the present she had prepared for Fu Huai 'an. It was going to be Christmas soon, and she wasn't very familiar with it, so it was a little strenuous for her to prepare it.
She wondered if she would be able to prepare it for Fu Huai 'an before Christmas …
You Nainai turned on the turn signal. After turning left for a few hundred meters, Lin Nuan could already see the Christmas tree that was tens of meters tall in the Shengshi Tang Dynasty Square. The five-pointed star at the top of the Christmas tree looked especially dazzling in the gloomy weather, and the colorful lights around it were very dazzling.
Lin Nuan perked up. She couldn't show her fear when she was going to face Li Muyang later.
You Nainai parked the car in the parking lot, unbuckled her seatbelt, and looked at Tang Zheng's car, which was parked not far away from them.
When Lin Nuan put on her mask and got out of the front passenger seat, it started to rain and snow from the gloomy sky.
The cold wind brought with it not heavy snowflakes and rain, but it was still so cold that one couldn't help but shiver.
Lin Nuan closed the car door and looked towards the open-air cafe …
Li Muyang and Ah Zhan had already arrived!
Because of the cold, there was almost no one in the open-air cafe square. The customers had all entered the cafe, so Li Muyang, who was wearing leather gloves and holding a walking stick, looked especially conspicuous as he sat under the big umbrella.
Ah Zhan stood next to Li Muyang. When he saw Lin Nuan from afar, he bent over and whispered something into Li Muyang's ear.
Li Muyang smiled. He saw You Nainai take out an umbrella from the trunk and open it above Lin Nuan's head …
In the snow and rain, Lin Nuan walked over slowly. She was wearing a black turtleneck sweater and a black coat. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and she wore a black mask, leaving only her beautiful and clean eyes exposed. She exuded a cold aura.
There was a gentle smile on Li Muyang's face. He gripped his walking stick tightly, and his leather gloves made slight noises.
Before Lin Nuan came over, Li Muyang said to Ah Zhan, "Order a cup of hot cocoa for Nuan Nuan!"
"Boss, it's too cold outside. Do you want to go in and sit with Miss Lin?" Ah Zhan bent over and asked Li Muyang.
"There's no need. There aren't many people here, and it's quiet." Li Muyang seemed very satisfied that there was no one else here. He didn't seem to mind the cold.
Li Muyang, who was wearing a light gray turtleneck sweater and a dark coffee-colored long woolen coat, sat near the edge of the sidewalk. He looked very presentable, attracting the attention of the young ladies who were walking back and forth. Seeing Ah Zhan, who looked like a bodyguard, speaking respectfully to Li Muyang, they guessed that this man's identity was as decent as his attire.
