Although it was early autumn, it had been raining non-stop for four to five days. The entire city was shrouded in mist, and the air was especially damp and cold.
Lin Nuan felt the chill in the air as soon as she came out of the cafe.
"Lin Nuan!"
Gu Hanyan ran out of the cafe and grabbed Lin Nuan, who was holding the umbrella. She said in a sharp voice, "Moshen has been missing for four years. His inheritance, company shares, car, and house were all taken by his younger brother, Wen Moshi!"
Lin Nuan's back stiffened.
"The only thing I can do for Wen Moshen now is to protect myself! I don't want to wait for the day when Moshen comes back only to find that he has lost everything … "
Lin Nuan's heart was struck, and it hurt.
Wen Moshen was the untouchable love hidden in Lin Nuan's heart.
Gu Hanyan stood outside the umbrella in the rain, and Lin Nuan stood in the shadow under the umbrella.
Lin Nuan pulled back her wrist and took out a black shawl from her shoulder bag. She wrapped it around herself to block out some of the bone-chilling cold.
"You can force me like this only because I love Wen Moshen. But if he comes back one day and finds out the truth, I will definitely become a thorn between the two of you. Gu Hanyan, do you dare to bet with me?"
Gu Hanyan's lips quivered. She wanted to say yes, but she was afraid that if she answered too directly, it would seem indifferent. As she hesitated, her eyes turned red, and her almond-shaped eyes looked even more pitiful in the rain.
Lin Nuan's slender and fair fingers gripped the handle of the umbrella tightly, her knuckles turning white. Her eyes were clean and clear as she waited for Gu Hanyan's answer.
Gu Hanyan couldn't answer for a long time. Lin Nuan turned to leave, but when her eyes met the tall and deep man standing next to the Bentley, she was stunned.
The black car was parked under the streetlight, and the orange light intertwined in the drizzle, creating a hazy halo. The light fell on the man's broad back and shoulders, outlining the man's well-defined facial features.
A man with such outstanding looks and a steady aura would always be dazzling no matter where he was, so dazzling that no one could ignore him …
It was Fu Huai 'an!
She didn't know why, but when she saw Fu Huai 'an now, she felt a sense of unease and guilt haunting her.
She clearly wasn't sure if she should help Gu Hanyan. She clearly hadn't done anything, but she panicked the moment she saw Fu Huai 'an.
A gust of wind, mixed with the rain, blew Lin Nuan through in an instant …
Lin Nuan clenched her fists and gripped the handle of the umbrella tightly. Her body stiffened as she looked at the man in front of her. She tried her best to shift her gaze away, but her body was as stiff as a stone statue, unable to move.
The middle-aged man who had followed Fu Huai 'an out of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant … saw Fu Huai' an holding a cigarette between his fingers, and with a fawning expression, he held up a lighter with both hands, wanting to light Fu Huai 'an's cigarette.
The light drizzle wet the shoulders of Fu Huai 'an's crisp suit and hair. He had one hand in his pocket, looking indifferent and condescending, his expression exuding an air of superiority and nobility …
His good friend Lu Jinnan, who had accompanied Fu Huai 'an to socialize, saw Lin Nuan across the road as soon as he came out of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and loosened his collar, narrowing his eyes as he walked in Fu Huai' an's direction.
"President Wang, do you mind going to the convenience store across the road for me … to buy a pack of cigarettes?"
Lu Jinnan's tone was relaxed, and the middle-aged man beside Fu Huai 'an nodded quickly, saying, "No problem, President Lu!"
"Thanks!" Lu Jinnan's thanks weren't sincere.
Fu Huai 'an calmly extinguished the cigarette in his hand as he watched the chubby President Wang jog away.
It was a high-grade cigarette that someone had passed to Fu Huai 'an at the dinner, not the brand he was used to smoking.
Lu Jinnan took out a pack of cigarettes from his trousers and passed one to Fu Huai 'an, putting the other in the corner of his lips, saying, "Old Fu, the white moonlight in your heart, Lin Nuan, is just across the road."
Fu Huai 'an paused in the middle of lighting the cigarette and looked up at Lu Jinnan with a deep gaze.
Lu Jinnan bit on the cigarette, both hands in his pockets, and raised his chin in Lin Nuan's direction, saying, "I'm not joking, with that fiancée of yours, Gu Hanyan …"
The cigarette was lit, and white smoke rose from the corner of his lips. Fu Huai 'an put away his lighter, and his unfathomable eyes looked towards the opposite side of the road, accurately capturing the woman who was peeping at him.
With just one glance, the tightness in Lin Nuan's heart snapped. She recalled what Gu Hanyan had said in the cafe, and her sweaty hands clutched the handle of the umbrella guiltily.
