His facial features were exquisite and beautiful. Under the contrast of his turtleneck sweater, he looked like a noble from the Middle Ages, causing passersby to turn their heads repeatedly.
When Lin Nuan and You Nainai entered the open-air cafe, Ah Zhan had already brought out two cups of hot cocoa. One was for Lin Nuan, and the other was for You Nainai.
Li Muyang looked up at Lin Nuan, who was already standing opposite him. He smiled and said, "I asked Ah Zhan to order some hot cocoa for you. You'll feel warmer after drinking a little."
Lin Nuan smoothed her coat and sat down opposite Li Muyang. Her petite face was tense, and she didn't remove her mask.
You Nainai also sat down next to Lin Nuan, looking at Li Muyang with an unfriendly gaze.
"Mrs. Fu!" Ah Zhan placed the two cups of hot cocoa in front of Lin Nuan and You Nainai, then smiled and retreated behind Li Muyang.
"Can you tell me what you did?" Lin Nuan had both hands in her coat pockets, her voice muffled through the mask.
Li Muyang gestured at his face. "Take off your mask. It shouldn't be that cold. Try the hot cocoa …"
Lin Nuan, who was sitting opposite Li Muyang, didn't move. You Nainai said, "Nuan Nuan's status in the country is special. In order to avoid being photographed by the paparazzi, it's better not to take off your mask!"
"Then how do you know that I didn't contact the paparazzi to keep watch here after you informed me of the time and place?" Li Muyang smiled. When he spoke, there was a small cloud of white fog in the air around his lips, making his bewitching smile appear even more gentle.
Lin Nuan disliked Li Muyang and couldn't help feeling unhappy.
"Nainai, help me get a latte!" Lin Nuan turned and said to You Nainai.
Although You Nainai was worried about Lin Nuan being alone, she could only nod when Lin Nuan asked.
After You Nainai left, Lin Nuan looked towards Li Muyang …
"Did you meet me face-to-face just to beat around the bush?" Lin Nuan sounded a little impatient.
"I'm afraid Mr. Fu didn't tell you that recently, there have been more foreign friends in Haicheng. Of course, I'm not one of them. They want to test if Mr. Fu is that 'Mr. Moral'. If I'm not wrong, they want to start with you or Mr. Fu's son!" Li Muyang said slowly. "I made the first move because I knew that the military wouldn't have anything against Mr. Fu. That way, Mr. Fu's suspicions would be cleared, and you, and that child … would be relatively safe!"
"In that case, my husband has to thank you!" Lin Nuan said meaningfully.
Li Muyang smiled, as if he had said something extremely joyous to an old friend. He looked at Lin Nuan with his extremely charming and deep eyes, and his right hand, which was wearing a leather glove, rested on the wooden table, gently pressing against it. "Nuan Nuan, I'm not a saint, and I don't like to do good deeds without leaving my name behind. The reason I'm doing this is to get into your good books! So, after I did something good, I had to call you out and tell you in person … "
Lin Nuan's hands in her coat pocket tightened. Li Muyang was indeed abnormal …
"If you're willing to come out and see me today, Mr. Fu will probably be able to return home safely tonight. If you don't come, I'll definitely cause more trouble for Mr. Fu and prolong the time he's out until you come out and sit peacefully with me!"
Li Muyang was very straightforward.
Lin Nuan had never seen someone like Li Muyang who pursued someone in such an obvious manner. What's more, it was a married person …
Perhaps, he wanted to hear a word of thanks from Lin Nuan. What's more, he needed Lin Nuan to let down her guard against him after thanking him.
"Actually, from the start, I wanted to stir up this mess. It was enough as long as I could ensure your safety. I didn't care if those people laid their hands on Mr. Fu's child. I wanted to see if Mr. Fu would pretend to be a helpless civilian and ask the police for help when his child was kidnapped, or if he would jump out in a rage and get those precious operations teams to kill those who dared to touch his son …"
Hearing Li Muyang say this, Lin Nuan clenched her petite hands in her pockets tightly, and the fury in her heart only increased. Her fear of Li Muyang was replaced by overwhelming fury toward him. She almost couldn't resist standing up and giving Li Muyang a slap.
Lin Nuan looked at Li Muyang's gaze, and her heart turned colder. She tried her best to restrain herself from hitting Li Muyang.
As a mother, the thing she couldn't tolerate the most was someone else wanting to do something to her child.
"But later, seeing how much you care about that child, I was afraid you'd be sad, so I gave up on this idea!"
Just as Li Muyang finished speaking, You Nainai came back with a latte and placed it in front of Lin Nuan …
Lin Nuan remained calm and collected. She raised a hand to remove her mask, and the exquisite face that Li Muyang yearned for day and night entered his eyes. Li Muyang's smile widened.
"Nuan Nuan …" You Nainai frowned, afraid that Lin Nuan would be photographed by the paparazzi.
Lin Nuan approached Li Muyang and revealed a cold smile. "Mr. Li, aren't you afraid that not only will I not come to see you, but … that you won't be able to walk out of Haicheng in one piece? Haicheng isn't America, after all. Mr. Li, aren't you afraid? "
"There's no tomorrow for my life. You and Mr. Fu are both smart people, so you won't take the life of someone who's about to die in Haicheng!"
Lin Nuan sneered and straightened her back, her clear black eyes filled with mockery. "If Mr. Li is still in Haicheng on New Year's Day, you can attend my husband and my wedding if you don't mind!"
"Sure! I'll definitely be there! "Li Muyang didn't feel unhappy at Lin Nuan's words. Instead, his smile widened.
Lin Nuan wasn't annoyed at all. She smiled even higher. "When the time comes, I'll introduce someone to Mr. Li!"
"It would be my honor …" Li Muyang replied very quickly.
"It's my psychiatrist. Since Mr. Li has investigated me, you should know that Lu Hanzi is a very famous psychiatrist in our country. She's even very authoritative internationally. Mr. Li, you can get Dr. Lu to take a look at you. A mental illness like perversion is also an illness … and needs to be treated!" Lin Nuan's voice was soft and gentle, just like when she was hosting a show, her voice smooth and mellow.
Li Muyang's smile froze for a second, but he quickly broke into a smile. "The medicine for my illness is you. Other than you, no one else can treat it. No matter how authoritative a doctor is, they won't be able to!"
"That's unfortunate. I'm not good mentally either. It's hereditary … I have faint signs of acting up whenever I see Mr. Li. People have to save themselves first before they can save others. Mr. Li, I won't keep you company! I don't want to do anything rude! "
Lin Nuan got up and nodded at Li Muyang with a slight smile. She put on her mask and turned around …
Seeing that there were already people raising their phones and taking photos in Lin Nuan and Li Muyang's direction, Lin Nuan walked towards the car.
Li Muyang gazed at Lin Nuan's back view, his smile becoming increasingly vibrant.
After Lin Nuan got into the car and left, the rain got heavier, and the sound of the rain hitting the ceiling was especially clear.
Li Muyang watched as the traffic light turned green under the neon lights in the distance and the pedestrians holding umbrellas hurriedly walked past the stopped cars. He was momentarily in a daze.
Ah Zhan frowned and bent over to whisper in Li Muyang's ear, "Miss Lin has left. Boss, let's go too!"
"Ah Zhan, say … if Xiao Mei had treated some people the way she treated me back then, would our endings have been different?" Li Muyang gazed into the distance, his gaze distant.
Ah Zhan lowered his eyes and didn't say a word.
"I'm so envious of Fu Huai 'an …" Li Muyang sighed. He had just stood up with the support of his walking stick when he fell back onto the rattan chair.
"Sir!" Ah Zhan called out to Li Muyang and hurriedly supported him.
Li Muyang's gloved hand pressed against his head, the veins on his forehead popping up.
"Sir! Let's go back to America! " Ah Zhan was filled with worry, and his tone couldn't help but raise. "Are you really going to throw your life away here for a woman you don't like? Don't you know how bad your body is?! You need to recuperate well! "
After a long while, Li Muyang calmed down a little. He put down the hand that was covering his face, and his eyes were bloodshot. "What's the point of being a walking corpse? Ah Zhan … I also want to love someone with all my might for once! "
"But she, but she …"
Ah Zhan gritted his teeth and didn't say anything else in the end, afraid that it would hurt Li Muyang's feelings.
But everyone knew that Lin Nuan was married. She had a husband!
Anyone could tell that Lin Nuan was deeply in love with Fu Huai 'an …
Why was it Lin Nuan? Even if it was that You Nainai by Lin Nuan's side! At least he wasn't married!
Even if Li Muyang liked any other woman who had nothing to do with Mr. Moral, Ah Zhan could still help him …
But they really couldn't go head-on against Lin Nuan's husband!
…
Lin Nuan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was anxious to return to Tianfu Bay.
At this time, Tuan Tuan was almost home!
At night, Fu Huai 'an was also coming back …
Lin Nuan had to hurry back and prepare dinner so that she could welcome Fu Huai 'an back with Tuan Tuan.
Lin Nuan's heart suddenly became fervent because a certain someone was going to return to the place she called home …
She felt a lump in her throat. Her longing for Fu Huai 'an was like boiling water that couldn't be stopped from overflowing.
She felt that she was very useless. To think that she would want to cry just because she missed someone.
When Fu Huai 'an left with those people, she didn't cry. But right now, she couldn't help but feel choked up …
You Nainai drove quietly. In her pocket, Tang Zheng's phone kept vibrating.
The four of them went to Prosperous Tang Dynasty together. Because Lin Nuan and Li Muyang's seats were too conspicuous, Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan didn't go over directly.
They had thought that after Lin Nuan and Li Muyang got into the car, they would stop after making a turn. They didn't expect that the car wouldn't stop at all.
Lin Nuan's phone was on silent mode in her bag, so Tang Zheng could only call You Nainai.
But seeing that Lin Nuan wasn't in a good mood, You Nainai didn't pick up the call.
The car drove into the Long Ming Tunnel. The warm lights in the tunnel made the tunnel look especially bright, shining on Lin Nuan through the windshield. She looked at the back of her hand that was dyed by the lights and felt warm.
Thinking of Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan, Lin Nuan took out her phone. There were already more than ten missed calls.
She called Lu Jinnan back and told him that Fu Huai 'an would be back tonight. Lu Jinnan heaved a sigh of relief and asked Lin Nuan, "Have you figured out what happened?"
"I've figured it out. Let's talk when we get back!" Lin Nuan didn't want to say it in front of You Nainai. The fewer people who knew about Fu Huai 'an's identity, the safer he would be.
You Nainai wasn't curious about Fu Huai 'an's matters. She just had to do her job as a bodyguard and assistant.
After hanging up the call, Lin Nuan started to think about what ingredients she had in the fridge and what kind of dinner she could prepare for Tuan Tuan and Fu Huai 'an.
Since it concerned Fu Huai 'an's safety, Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan put down what they were doing and followed You Nainai's car all the way to Tianfu Bay.
She clearly knew that Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan had come over to ask them questions, so when she was talking to Li Muyang earlier, Lin Nuan had sent You Nainai away. You Nainai knew what to do, so when Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan parked the car and were about to enter, she said to Lin Nuan, "I'm going to the convenience store to buy some things!"
Lin Nuan nodded. "Bring an umbrella! The umbrella rack outside … "
"Okay!"
Lu Jinnan had just opened the door when You Nainai walked out. She turned sideways to let Lu Jinnan in first, then lowered her gaze and didn't look at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng entered and stared at You Nainai …
You Nainai's long and dense eyelashes were lowered, and her fair face was lowered as she stared at the ground. Seeing Tang Zheng's leather shoes step in, You Nainai turned sideways to leave, looking like she had no intention of talking to Tang Zheng.
"Nainai!"
When they brushed past each other, Tang Zheng grabbed You Nainai's wrist.
You Nainai didn't want to fight with Tang Zheng in Fu Huai 'an and Lin Nuan's home. She looked up and pursed her lips, not saying a word. Her gaze was cold as she warned Tang Zheng to let go.
"What did that sickly man say to you?"
Tang Zheng heard Lu Jinnan asking You Nainai a question and looked down helplessly. In the end, he still frowned and let go of You Nainai's hand …
You Nainai went out and took out an umbrella from the umbrella rack. With reddened eyes, she wrapped her coat tightly around herself and walked out of the villa's garden with the umbrella.
Tang Zheng watched You Nainai's back view until she disappeared before closing the door and entering the villa.
The rain drenched Tang Zheng's hair and the shoulders of his suit. He removed his suit and hung it at the door before walking towards Lin Nuan and Lu Jinnan.
Sickly man was the nickname Lu Jinnan had given Li Muyang. In Lu Jinnan's opinion, Li Muyang looked more feminine than a woman, and he also looked sickly. Lu Jinnan just couldn't stand the sight of him.
Lin Nuan gripped her phone in her hand and said with a frown, "Li Muyang said that recently, there have been more so-called friends from outside Haicheng. Not counting him, these people are tempted to test if Huai 'an is Mr. Moral. He said that those people want to make a move on Tuan Tuan and me. This time, he deliberately leaked the news to the military so that the military can investigate Huai' an and clear Huai 'an of suspicion so that Tuan Tuan and I can be safe!"
Lu Jinnan raised an eyebrow, looking like he didn't believe her. "What?"
"He said that it's because he knows that Huai 'an definitely won't let the military have anything against him. He also said that as long as he doesn't do anything, Huai' an will definitely return tonight!" Lin Nuan glanced at the time on her phone. "Last night, when Huai 'an left with those people, he said that he would be back by tonight at the latest!"
Tang Zheng frowned. Although he was worried, he still said, "Since Old Fu said … he would be back by tonight at the latest, why don't we wait and see first? I've already asked someone to find out more information. It's just that firstly, Old Lu and I found out about this news late. Secondly, we've been deliberately avoiding the military all these years, so we don't have much information in the military. However … the people I've asked are reliable. I believe we'll get a reply soon. "
Tang Zheng's phone rang just as he finished speaking.
Tang Zheng took out his phone and revealed a look of joy. "There's news …"
The sound of tires rolling over a speed bump came from outside. Lin Nuan looked outside. "Tuan Tuan is back!"
"I'll go to the back to answer the call!" Tang Zheng took his phone and went to the small courtyard behind the villa.
"Stay for dinner with you, Tang Zheng, and Nainai tonight! I'll prepare more … "Lin Nuan said to Lu Jinnan.
After a moment of hesitation, Lu Jinnan nodded. "Okay!"
Since Fu Huai 'an was going to be back tonight, Lu Jinnan also wanted to know how he was doing.
Fu Huai 'an had been preparing for his wedding with Lin Nuan during this period of time. Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng didn't want to disturb them, so they didn't know Fu Huai' an had been asked to leave for a day and a night.
Although they knew Fu Huai 'an would be fine if he went to the military, they couldn't help but worry. They could only be at ease when they saw Fu Huai' an was safe.
Lin Nuan looked out through the floor-to-ceiling window and saw that Tuan Tuan had already gotten out of the car. Lin Nuan walked towards the entryway and placed her phone on the shoe cabinet. She changed her shoes and opened the door to welcome him.
"Mama!" Tuan Tuan called out excitedly when he saw Lin Nuan come out, bouncing towards her.
Lin Nuan smiled and looked at Tuan Tuan, who had jumped into her arms. She reached out and stroked his little head …
Seeing Tuan Tuan holding a Christmas hat in his hand, Lin Nuan asked, "Did you spend Christmas at kindergarten today?"
Tuan Tuan nodded and raised the Christmas hat, saying cheerfully, "The prize!"
"Tuan Tuan is so awesome!" Lin Nuan squatted down and took the Christmas hat from Tuan Tuan's hands. She asked, "What did Tuan Tuan do to get the prize?"
Hearing Lin Nuan's question, Tuan Tuan took off the little school bag on his back, unzipped it, and took out a painting wrapped in silk. Lin Nuan took Tuan Tuan's little school bag and watched as he untied the bow on the silk and unfurled the painting …
Tuan Tuan had drawn a family of three. Compared to Tuan Tuan's devilish style from before, the drawing this time was really not bad. At least the outline was clear, and the colors used were beautiful and harmonious, making one feel comfortable just by looking at it.
The kindergarten teacher stuck a golden trophy sticker on Tuan Tuan's drawing. The comment was that the colors were very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Lin Nuan looked up from the drawing and saw Tuan Tuan's sparkling eyes, looking like he was asking for praise. She smiled at Tuan Tuan. "Tuan Tuan's drawing is really beautiful!"
Tuan Tuan's smile was especially bright. "Tuan Tuan, can you give this drawing to Papa as a Christmas present?"
"Okay!" Tuan Tuan agreed decisively and nodded obediently.
Lin Nuan stroked Tuan Tuan's little head and held his chubby little hand as they walked into the house. "Uncle Tang Zheng, Uncle Lu Jinnan, and Auntie Nainai all finished eating at our house today. What does Tuan Tuan want to eat?"
"Eggs!" Tuan Tuan looked up and said to Lin Nuan.
"Okay! Then I'll make eggs for Tuan Tuan … "
After entering the house, Tuan Tuan called out to Lu Jinnan, then obediently went to wash his face, hands, and mouth. He then went upstairs to change his clothes.
