The moment Fu Huai 'an returned, Lin Nuan felt as if her heart had found a place to belong, and she felt very safe. She was no longer as listless as when Fu Huai' an wasn't around.
…
This time, when the military took Fu Huai 'an away, it was as Li Muyang had said — Fu Huai' an was cleared of suspicion!
Those people probably wouldn't target Fu Huai 'an and his family anymore.
However, now that Fu Huai 'an was cleared of suspicion, Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng weren't in a good position.
Previously, those people had their eyes on Fu Huai 'an. Now, they would probably change their target …
Tang Zheng had originally wanted to take the opportunity to build up a good relationship with his daughter, Little Candy, and win You Nainai over. From then on, he would be able to live a life of comfort with his wife and children. But now, for their safety, Tang Zheng could only set aside this beautiful wish for the time being!
After all, You Nainai and Little Candy's safety was the most important.
Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian had fallen out recently because of the marriage proposal. Lu Jinnan had been hesitating on whether he should look for Bai Xiaonian again. If Bai Xiaonian felt that getting married was too urgent, he could put it off for a while.
But now, if Lu Jinnan were to do so, those people would definitely start with Bai Xiaonian if they wanted to test Lu Jinnan …
Moreover, Lu Jinnan was different from Tang Zheng. His father and younger brother were both in the country!
It was easier for those people to test Lu Jinnan than Tang Zheng. Therefore, Fu Huai 'an told Lu Jinnan to be extra careful about his family's safety. Lu Jinnan could take care of his father and younger brother, but he didn't have the energy to take care of Bai Xiaonian. This was for sure!
However, long before those people came to Haicheng, Gu Qingcheng had already sent people over to ensure Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng's safety.
Tang Zheng had some influence in Haicheng. Even if something really happened, he wasn't afraid. However, there was always a possibility.
Fu Huai 'an whipped out a cigarette and held it between his long and slender fingers. He leaned against the table and gazed at Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan, who were sitting on the sofa with their brows tightly furrowed. He said slowly, "Rather than waiting for others to test us out and make them believe that none of us is the person they're looking for, we might as well use the most direct method …"
Lu Jinnan's pupils narrowed slightly as he gazed at Fu Huai 'an. "You mean, we'll take care of them in Haicheng?"
Fu Huai 'an lowered his head and lit his cigarette with a match. He flicked the match out and casually placed it in the ashtray. He moved the cigarette away from the corner of his mouth, and the white smoke from the corner of his mouth blurred the cold expression in his deep eyes.
"We're in Haicheng's territory. If we're still bullied, wouldn't we be too useless?" Tang Zheng had tolerated it for so long, and indeed, he didn't want to tolerate it anymore.
"I know the two of you have been holding it in, afraid of bringing trouble to Qingcheng." Fu Huai 'an tapped away the cigarette ash, his tone calm and unperturbed. "But since we're the local tyrants … we should act like the local tyrants."
"Old Gu has his own way of doing things. If we want to act rashly, should we contact Old Gu?" Tang Zheng asked.
Fu Huai 'an's phone vibrated. He picked it up with his cigarette-holding hand and saw that it was a WeChat message. He opened it and said, "If you give in to Qingcheng too much, you'll bring trouble to Qingcheng …"
Although they knew that Gu Qingcheng's friends were in Haicheng, they also knew that Gu Qingcheng's friends didn't dabble in that area of business. If Haicheng accommodated Gu Qingcheng in everything, it was inevitable that people would notice something fishy.
It was better to be more straightforward and do things according to their style of doing things in Sea City! It didn't matter even if it caught Gu Qingcheng off guard …
Tang Zheng understood and nodded.
It was a WeChat message from Little Lu. It was a screenshot of the news headline about Lin Nuan going to meet Li Muyang today …
[Rumor has it that Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an's wedding date is approaching. Lin Nuan is meeting a mysterious tycoon in secret, and the wedding date is a mystery.]
[A mysterious fan's confession, the famous host Lin Nuan has a secret meeting with a mysterious man, is Fu Huai 'an and Lin Nuan's marriage a red light?]
[Shocking news! Mysterious American Tycoon Rushes to Haicheng to Confess His Love. Will His Transnational Pursuit Succeed?]
[A Famous Host's Marriage Becomes a Mystery, or He Rides Two Top Cruise Ships.]
[Lin Nuan's Mysterious Fan's Identity Revealed, So Rich You Can't Imagine!]
[The Single Boss of an American Weapons Manufacturer Aggressively Pursues Married Young Lady Lin Nuan, Young Lady Can't Hold Back Her Secret Meeting]
The headlines that Little Lu had intercepted were all especially vulgar, clearly meant to gain attention and clicks. It was obvious that they were the work of paparazzi.
Fu Huai 'an narrowed his eyes. Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng had already told Fu Huai' an about Lin Nuan going to meet Li Muyang that afternoon. Fu Huai 'an knew that Lin Nuan had gone there for him.
It was just that these news headlines weren't pleasing to the eye and were an eyesore.
Little Lu added a message after the screenshot. It seemed to be asking for a way to deal with it, as well as explaining for Lin Nuan …
[Little Lu: Back then, when Madam went, You Nainai went with her. Sir, do you want to deal with these fake news?]
Fu Huai 'an brought the cigarette to his lips and bit it. He narrowed his eyes and replied to Little Lu with two words, "No need."
If he were to deal with this news now, who knew what other nonsense the paparazzi would write?
Putting down his phone, Fu Huai 'an moved the cigarette away and tapped away the white ash. "Don't drag this matter out. Let's settle everything tonight."
Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng understood what Fu Huai 'an meant and nodded.
"Tang Zheng and I will do it right away!" Lu Jinnan said as he stood up. His face was tense, looking a little frightening.
…
That night, Lu Jinnan, Tang Zheng, and Fu Huai 'an chatted for a long time in the study. Only when Lin Nuan coaxed Tuan Tuan to sleep and came out of the room did Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng come out of Fu Huai' an's study.
"Are you leaving?" Lin Nuan asked Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng.
"En!" Lu Jinnan nodded.
Concealing the worry in his handsome eyes, Tang Zheng smiled at Lin Nuan and said, "It's late. You and Old Fu should rest early too."
Lin Nuan nodded and sent Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan downstairs without asking anything.
Her phone kept vibrating on the coffee table. When Lin Nuan accompanied Tuan Tuan to shower and coaxed him to sleep, she left her phone on the coffee table downstairs and didn't bring it upstairs. Fang Yan called her five or six times, but Lin Nuan didn't pick up. After sending Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan back, Lin Nuan happened to see her phone vibrating on the coffee table.
Fang Yan picked up the call and asked, "Did you go out to meet the man who confessed to you on the show today?"
Lin Nuan recalled that when she took off her mask during the meeting with Li Muyang at the cafe, someone in the cafe used their phone to take photos of her and Li Muyang. Someone in the cafe might have posted it on Weibo or WeChat Moments.
"En, I met him for something this afternoon," Lin Nuan replied.
Fang Yan originally thought that someone had mistaken Lin Nuan for someone else and planned to use Lin Nuan's official Weibo account to clarify things after Lin Nuan denied it. She didn't expect Lin Nuan to admit it.
"Don't tell me you didn't go online for the entire afternoon?" Fang Yan asked.
"En, I was a little busy in the afternoon and didn't look …"
Fang Yan sighed. "Why did you meet with that person this afternoon? It'd be good if your husband accompanied you! Don't hang up, turn on your computer and take a look! "
Lin Nuan was confused by Fang Yan's words. She took out her laptop from under the coffee table and turned it on …
In between booting up the laptop, Lin Nuan asked Fang Yan, "Did the netizens say that I went on a date with a fan?"
Fang Yan was browsing the news with her glasses on. She pinched her brows and said, "If only it were that simple. It's mainly because this gentleman's identity is too special …"
By the time Fang Yan finished speaking, Lin Nuan's laptop had already been switched on. She clicked on the news, and the headline that the editor had written to catch people's attention was very glaring.
[Breaking news! Fu Huai 'an and Lin Nuan's relationship has been interrupted by a powerful third party.]
[Rumor has it that Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an's wedding date is nearing. Lin Nuan secretly meets a mysterious tycoon, and the wedding date is a mystery.]
[Mysterious fan confesses on the show. Lin Nuan meets a mysterious man in secret. Their relationship is a mystery!]
[American tycoon pursues Lin Nuan! Is Fu Huai 'an and Lin Nuan's marriage on the red light?]
[Shocking! American tycoon rushes to Haicheng to confess. Is Lin Nuan's heart moved during the secret meeting?]
[Lin Nuan's mysterious fan's identity revealed. He's so rich you can't imagine it!]
[Fu Huai 'an or the mysterious tycoon, who's worth more? Which family does Lin Nuan belong to?]
[American weapon manufacturer's single boss aggressively pursues Lin Nuan. The two of them meet in secret and act intimately!]
Lin Nuan was infuriated.
In the past, Lin Nuan would just glance at any news articles that wrote nonsense about her and let it go. However, her marriage with Fu Huai 'an was being used. Lin Nuan couldn't help feeling infuriated.
"What kind of nonsense is this?" Lin Nuan couldn't help but frown.
Fang Yan was about to say something when her phone vibrated.
The caller ID showed that it was Fu Huai 'an.
Fang Yan got a shock. She hurriedly removed her glasses and said to Lin Nuan, "I'll call you later. I need to make a call first!"
Fang Yan felt very uneasy. Fu Huai 'an was also calling her at the same time she called Lin Nuan. Did that mean that the two of them weren't together? Could it be that … their relationship really had problems because of that American man?!
Fang Yan didn't have the time to ask Lin Nuan in detail. She took a sip of water, cleared her throat, and picked up Fu Huai 'an's call. "Hello, Mr. Fu …"
"Ms. Fang, what do you think about using Xiao Nuan's official Weibo to announce our marriage news?" Fu Huai 'an's voice was calm. "If you think it's feasible, I'll announce our marriage news on my Weibo at the same time!"
Fang Yan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that there were no problems with Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an's relationship. She deliberated for a moment, then nodded. "It'd be better if there were wedding photos, but I heard from Nuan Nuan that they haven't been taken yet."
"When the wedding photos are out in a few days, I'll get someone to send a copy to your agency. Xiao Nuan can announce on her official Weibo that after the wedding photos are taken, they'll be officially released. That'll be more convincing. As for that mysterious fan, you can ignore him …"
Fang Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with Fu Huai 'an's solution. She agreed and asked, "Then, should I tell Nuan Nuan?"
"I'll do it. You can just go about your work …"
After hanging up, Fang Yan felt relieved.
Fang Yan had thought that Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an had fallen out and was still thinking about how to resolve it.
Now that the news had blown up to this point, if she were to ask Fu Huai 'an and Lin Nuan to come out and clarify things, there might be people who would feel that they were trying to cover things up.
If Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an were to announce their marriage news and say that they would be releasing their wedding photos in a few days' time, it would indeed be more convincing.
As for those messy rumors, rather than trying to explain them, it would be better to just say that the rumors were stopped by the wise.
At the thought of this, Fang Yan no longer hesitated. She got the publicist to prepare to announce Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an's wedding on Weibo.
Fang Yan and Miss Xia both knew that Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an's wedding date was set to be on New Year's Day.
Lin Nuan naturally had to invite the two of them to her wedding. It was just that when Lin Nuan informed them, she told them not to inform the media. She didn't want the wedding to attract too much attention.
Actually, during this period of time, although news of Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an's wedding had been kept under wraps, there was no such thing as a wall that didn't have ears. The news still leaked out. It was just that the media didn't know the exact date for the time being. Even the so-called time of announcement on the internet was merely a guess …
This time, Lin Nuan and Li Muyang's meeting was suddenly exposed because of those paparazzi who were making groundless accusations and trying to figure out the date of Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an's wedding. They quietly followed Lin Nuan to look for clues, but they didn't expect to find out that Lin Nuan had a secret meeting with a fan!
This was especially so since the fan Lin Nuan was meeting had confessed to Lin Nuan on the show. Moreover, this fan's identity was too shocking. Now that Lin Nuan was secretly meeting this gentleman, people couldn't help but overthink things.
…
Lin Nuan didn't click on them to know what kind of words those articles used to describe her. She merely skimmed through the headlines to see what the paparazzi had written.
Fu Huai 'an came downstairs and saw Lin Nuan sitting on the carpet in the living room, using her laptop to flip through the messy news.
He walked to Lin Nuan, bent over, and picked up the laptop …
"Aye!"
Lin Nuan exclaimed and raised her head. She saw that Fu Huai 'an had closed the laptop and placed it at the side, his tightly furrowed brows still furrowed.
"Don't worry, Fang Yan has settled everything!" Fu Huai 'an revealed an extremely faint smile at Lin Nuan. "Let's go upstairs and rest!"
Lin Nuan didn't stand up. She looked up at Fu Huai 'an and asked, "Aren't you angry that I went to see Li Muyang?"
"Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng both told me that you did it for me. I'm very happy, Xiao Nuan." Fu Huai 'an's gaze was sincere when he spoke.
The fat cat, who was curled up in the cage and sleeping, moved its ears. It lazily opened its eyes and glanced in the direction of its master and mistress before falling back to sleep peacefully.
Fu Huai 'an's tall and slender figure stood under the main light in the living room, his shadow enveloping Lin Nuan …
Hearing Fu Huai 'an's words, Lin Nuan couldn't help but feel touched. There was no one else in the house, so Lin Nuan couldn't help but get up and go around the coffee table to hug Fu Huai' an's waist, burying her head in his chest!
When Fu Huai 'an wasn't home, the uneasiness she felt turned into grievances, causing Lin Nuan's eyes to turn moist.
"I don't want to be separated from you ever again, not even for a day!" Lin Nuan's voice became slightly louder.
Fu Huai 'an wrapped his arms around Lin Nuan's thin shoulders and hugged her tightly in his arms. His deep voice was filled with infinite gentleness. "It won't happen again in the future …"
Lin Nuan buried her face in Fu Huai 'an's chest.
Fu Huai 'an felt a slight dampness on his chest, so he carried Lin Nuan horizontally.
As his eyes met Lin Nuan's reddened eyes, Fu Huai 'an said solemnly, "It definitely won't happen again in the future!"
Lin Nuan nodded. She wrapped her arms tightly around Fu Huai 'an's neck and couldn't help but sneeze.
"You've caught a cold?" Fu Huai 'an paused in his steps and asked.
Lin Nuan rubbed her itchy nose. "It seems a little …"
"Have you taken your medicine?" Fu Huai 'an's eyes were filled with concern.
"I don't think you need to take medicine. You'll be fine after taking a hot bath and sleeping. Medicine is 30% toxic, so you still have to rely on your body's antibodies!"
After saying that, Lin Nuan did a strong action.
With Fu Huai 'an by her side, Lin Nuan felt much more relaxed. One could feel it from her words and tone.
Fu Huai 'an agreed with Lin Nuan that medicine was 30% toxic. He kissed his little wife's lips and carried her upstairs.
…
Fu Huai 'an carried Lin Nuan and quietly lay on the soft and large bed. There wasn't the intense feeling of absence that made the heart grow fonder.
It was as if it was the happiest thing in the world for the two of them to hug each other tightly like this.
Lin Nuan nestled in Fu Huai 'an's arms and said softly with her eyes closed, "You weren't around last night, so I couldn't fall asleep with Tuan Tuan in my arms. Now that I'm in your arms, I feel especially secure and want to sleep …"
"Not going to take a hot bath?" Fu Huai 'an asked.
"I'm too tired. Can you let me slack off for a day?"
Fu Huai 'an could hear the heavy fatigue in Lin Nuan's voice. God knew how secure Lin Nuan felt after Fu Huai' an returned. It was as if her soul had returned to her body.
This made Lin Nuan realize that her sense of security was actually tied to Fu Huai 'an!
It was precisely because of this that an unprecedented fatigue engulfed Lin Nuan as she nestled in Fu Huai 'an's arms.
"You've sneezed a few times!"
Fu Huai 'an even heard the sound of Lin Nuan sniffling. This cold didn't seem like it was just a minor one.
"If you want to take a bath, I'll help you … Hm?" Fu Huai 'an's voice was extremely gentle next to Lin Nuan's ear.
Lin Nuan, who had her eyes closed, laughed softly. "I don't want to. If I ask you to help me, who knows if I'll end up fooling around in the bathroom! I need to conserve some energy. I still have to film the promotional video for the new show tomorrow and take wedding photos the day after tomorrow. I feel like I need a good sleep! I feel like I might not even have the energy to film the promotional video for the new show tomorrow. I need to tell Sister Yan to move it back! I really don't have the energy to fool around with you today! "
"Not today. I'll let you have a good rest today so that you can enjoy yourself to the fullest tomorrow …"
Fu Huai 'an's words made Lin Nuan's ears heat up, and her sleepiness seemed to have been dispelled.
Lin Nuan turned to look at Fu Huai 'an's dark eyes, which were as dark as the night sky outside the window. The sleepiness in her eyes gradually disappeared, and what replaced it was an obsidian clarity.
There was a fiery desire in his eyes, even though he hadn't fully awakened yet.
Just by looking into each other's eyes, an emotion that could erode one's rationality was like a plant that was adept at climbing high walls. It easily overcame Lin Nuan's fatigue, and it quickly occupied her entire body and mind.
