Chapter 96: Leave It for After Dinner

Lin Nuan averted her eyes from Fu Huai’an and pretended to converse with Liang Mulan calmly. She looked down and picked up the phone at the other end of the restaurant.

Her back was facing Fu Huai’an’s direction as she hurriedly tucked her loose strands of hair behind her ear.

“Yes, I’m already eating… with my friend.”

Liang Mulan told Lin Nuan to eat less spicy food on the other end of the line since her stomach wasn’t good. Her words were filled with motherly care.

“I know, I barely even touch spicy foods now…”

She wanted to say she was going to visit Liang Mulan the next day, but as soon as she thought of Lin Ran, she gulped back her words.

But then Liang Mulan apologized for Lin Ran and said she was ready to go back home to recover, so Lin Nuan flimsily said, “Then I’ll visit you in my free time!?”

Even if it was flimsy, Liang Mulan was still very happy to hear it. She persuaded Lin Nuan to call before coming back so that she could prepare her favorite dishes in the kitchen.

As she hung up and turned around, Lin Nuan saw that Fu Huai’an had already hung up the phone – she wasn’t sure if he was smoking or waiting for her.

Lin Nuan’s hands clenched as she held her phone. She said, “I’ll be going inside first…”

Fu Huai’an put out his cigar and walked towards Lin Nuan.

Fu Huai’an’s tall, imposing figure approached her, causing the muscles over her whole body to tense up. She unconsciously took a step back, but then she felt the gesture made her look as if she was super scared of him. Hence she clutched her fists and stood her ground. The sound of rain flooded her ears.

She was enveloped by Fu Huai’an’s shadow, her nose filled with the faint scent of cigars on Fu Huai’an’s body and the healthy aroma of a man. At eye level, she could see his open shirt collar and his Adam’s apple.

Fu Huai’an kept his hands in his pockets and his gaze fixed on Lin Nuan.

“Lin Nuan, the relationship mentioned last time… do you want to try it?” Fu Huai’an said in his low, intoxicating voice.

As he said it, his attractive Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. Lin Nuan caught sight of it, blushed and looked down… yet her gaze unconsciously fell on Fu Huai’an’s lower area.

His hands were in his pockets which caused that area to look tighter than usual…

Lin Nuan’s averting eyes were full of panic as her heart began to beat faster.

“Which word did I say to make you blush like this?” Fu Huai’an asked in a low voice.

That made Lin Nuan feel ashamed and angry. She wanted to look straight up into his eyes, yet she met with his playful, smiling gaze and averted her eyes like a coward again, clutching her phone in her hands.

“I’ve never been in a relationship before, so I’m not sure what you’re referring to by this relationship, Mr. Fu,” Lin Nuan said in a cold tone, “Is it just the usual, eating together, going on dates together, sleeping together?”

Lin Nuan felt that no matter how she answered it would be wrong. If she agreed to try… then they would collect the certificate after being in the relationship long enough. If she disagreed then they would have to collect it right then, leaving her with no choice whatsoever.

With Wen Moshen being back, she could be a bit reckless. After all, in Lin Nuan’s heart… she did feel cheated by Fu Huai’an.

Before Gu Hanyan’s photos were revealed, Lin Nuan didn’t think that way. But after Fu Huai’an told Gu Hanyan to wait for Wen Moshen for an eternity that morning, Gu Hanyan’s photos with other men were leaked.

It implied Fu Huai’an was well aware of what kind of person Gu Hanyan was like long ago, and had no intention of making Gu Hanyan his woman. She sent herself to his doorstep like an idiot!

She guessed that Fu Huai’an’s mentality at that time was that Lin Nuan sent herself there and might as well enjoy the benefits.

Fu Huai’an was pleased by how Lin Nuan said she “wasn’t in a relationship”. He sensed Lin Nuan was agitated and smiled even more, “Finish your meal first, we’ll leave this for after dinner…”
