Mr Fu, I Really Love You

The wall lights obviously gave out a gentle glow, but Lin Nuan still felt the lights were piercing to her eyes, so piercing it made her eyes ache terribly…

She wanted to turn over but was pinned in place by Fu Huai’an, unable to break free of his hold. She closed her eyes and refused to look at him.

Fu Huai’an wiped away her tears, but those tears were seemingly endless.

“Xiao Nuan, Bai Xiaonian is still unconscious. We still don’t know what exactly happened. There’s no hurry to call the police, let’s not do anything first. Our first priority is to take good care of Bai Xiaonian, while the next is to try to hide this matter from Bai Xiaonian’s sick father. After Bai Xiaonian wakes up, let’s act according to her wishes. We just can’t blow the matter up right now. Think about Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan—both their identities are special, once this matter blows up… it will surely cause a fiasco all over town! By then, it’d be impossible to hide this from Bai Xiaonian’s father. Do you think this works?”

Now that both of them had calmed down a little, they could finally hear what the other party was saying.

Lin Nuan ultimately couldn’t bring herself to repeat the fact that Lu Jinnan himself had already admitted to raping Bai Xiaonian.

This didn’t mean that Lin Nuan had relented in this matter…

It was just that she felt that Fu Huai’an had a point. The first priority was to take good care of Bai Xiaonian, and the second one… was to hide this matter from Uncle Bai; regarding how to go about hiding this from him, Lin Nuan had to think of a solution.

Bai Xiaonian’s mother jumped off a building back then precisely because she couldn’t bear the humiliation of being violated… If Bai Xiaonian jumped off the building for the same reason, how would he be able to take it?

Lin Nuan didn’t make a sound, so that counted as silent consent. She held back the searing pain in her eyes and opened them, asking, “If, after Xiaonian wakes up, she wants to call the cops?”

Fu Huai’an recalled what Lu Jinnan had told him earlier today—if Bai Xiaonian wanted his life, he would give it up, and if she wanted for him to go to prison, he would also comply.

“If that’s the case, we’ll do whatever needs to be done…” Fu Huai’an added, “I will stay out of it.”

Hearing this promise from Fu Huai’an, Lin Nuan’s eyes didn’t look as dead as they did before. She gazed at Fu Huai’an a good while before she ultimately couldn’t hold back her tears.

Those clear and beautiful eyes were misty, full of blood vessels, making Fu Huai’an’s heart ache just by looking at them.

“Really?”

Lin Nuan was a little childish in asking that.

Lin Nuan knew in her heart that Fu Huai’an never was a righteous man.

He used to be a lawyer, and lawyers resolve people’s problems in exchange for money—that’s just what they do. Lin Nuan never used to pay close attention, but she did hear that Fu Huai’an defended an accused client for an exorbitant fee and was able to turn black into white, forcing the plaintiff’s entire family to commit suicide by jumping off the building.

“En… really!” Fu Huai’an nodded, hugging her close to him. “On the one hand, it’s you, and on the other, it’s Lu Jinnan. Xiao Nuan…”

Lin Nuan didn’t wait for Fu Huai’an to finish. She flipped over into Fu Huai’an’s arms. “I only ask that you stay out of this!”

Fu Huai’an kissed Lin Nuan’s forehead, lips not parting for a long moment, as he hugged her in his arms.

Lin Nuan was never one to reach out for a yard after taking an inch. She knew where to draw the line…

Lin Nuan only requested this one favor from Fu Huai’an after considering things from Fu Huai’an’s perspective, which wasn’t actually overboard. But Fu Huai’an could feel… that at this moment, she was hugging him with her heart full of gratitude.

Fu Huai’an could sense that Lin Nuan cared about their relationship.

This added a hint of sweetness to Fu Huai’an’s vexed emotions. He very gently pecked Lin Nuan on her face, lips… and neck…

Considerate of Lin Nuan’s feelings, Fu Huai’an ultimately didn’t go overboard with his actions. In the end, he just fell asleep with Lin Nuan in his arms like that.

At three in the morning, Fu Huai’an’s phone vibrated.

Fu Huai’an had always been a light sleeper. He was afraid the vibration from the phone might wake Lin Nuan up, so he reached out for his phone on the cabinet and blackened the screen.

Lin Nuan sensed the motion, so she stirred a little before dozing off again with her brows furrowed.

Fu Huai’an picked up the phone and carefully got up. Seeing that it was Tang Zheng, he went out to the balcony and pulled the door shut behind him before answering the call…

“What’s the matter?” Fu Huai’an peered into the room through the glass door at the sound asleep Lin Nuan.

“Old Fu, I just heard someone speaking with certainty that he saw Lu Jinnan’s woman jump off a building? Since when did Lu Jinnan get himself a woman? Do you know what’s going on?” Tang Zheng sounded muddled. “I couldn’t get Lu Jinnan on the phone no matter how many times I called.”

Fu Huai’an’s dark gaze sharpened the minute he heard this. “Heard from who?”

Fu Huai’an had taken all measures to prevent the news regarding Bai Xiaonian jumping off a building from leaking.

What’s more, regardless of the hospital staff or anyone who knew anything about this, what little they did know… was that Lu Jinnan had raped Bai Xiaonian, so it shouldn’t have evolved into something so far-fetched like Lu Jinnan’s woman having jumped off a building.

Tang Zheng stood at the entrance of the washroom, took a puff of his cigarette, glanced around at his surroundings, and only spoke after confirming no one was around. “The Young Master of the Wangs of Haicheng West…”

Fu Huai’an’s grip on his phone tightened. His originally deep and rich vocals now carried with them a coldness. “Invite Young Master Wang into a suite for a good chat, within half an hour… I want to know how he came to know of Lu Jinnan’s woman jumping off a building.”

So serious?

“The Young Master of the Wangs of Haicheng West, he is…”

Tang Zheng sounded like he was about to speak but then held himself back. After taking a final puff off his cigarette, he threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray on top of the bin. “Got it…”

After ending the call, Tang Zheng slipped his phone into his pocket and loosened his tie, walking out of the washroom corridor with both hands in his pockets.

A security guard in black was saying something into his ear mike. Seeing the frowning Tang Zheng wave at him from nearby, he hurriedly ran over.

Tang Zheng covered his mouth with one hand as said some things in the security guard’s ear; the latter nodded. “Yes, boss! Getting on it right away!”

From the corner of his eyes, Fu Huai’an sensed Lin Nuan flip over. He took a glance, then walked further away and pondered for a moment before dialing the number of the Deputy Director of the Province Department of Public Security.

A sleepy voice came from the other end of the line. “President Fu, for you to call at this hour, is there anything I can do to be of service?”

Fu Huai’an said in an emotionless voice, “Apologies for interrupting Director Fang’s dreams. Today, when my assistant left the Night Palace, he picked up a badly beaten Young Master of the Wangs of Haicheng West by the roadside. Young Master Wang is unconscious right now. You know how precious he is to the Wangs, and recently our Kaide Corporation and the Wangs have been vying for the Municipal Reform Project. If this isn’t explained clearly, I won’t be able to account to Old Master Wang. I know you have some ties with Old Master Wang, that’s why I’m calling you to see if you can check on the municipal traffic surveillance and find out where Young Master Wang went to today, to see if there are any leads.”

“Which idiot beat up Xiao Feng of the Wangs?” Vice-Director Fang was jolted awake by his newfound knowledge.

The Wangs only had this one descendant left. Old Master Wang’s son and daughter-in-law were no longer around, and the old man only had this one grandson left, so he loved him with his life…
