Chapter 408 - Better to Know the Limits

It was his wife who misunderstood him, so she told her the secret which should only be known by their relatives.

At that moment, the female lawyer in the car was restless and embarrassed.

Lin Nuan glanced at Fu Huai’an lightly and felt that he spoke too harshly.

Although those words weren’t as open as Tang Xi’s, it was the same if one listened carefully.

They weren’t far from World Trade Street. Soon, Fu Huai’an parked his car in the parking area of World Trade Street. The lawyer awkwardly said goodbye, then got out of the car and left without turning back.

Fu Huai’an hit the turning signal, turned the steering wheel, and drove the car onto the main road.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lin Nuan couldn’t help but smile. “I think your mouth is too harsh.”

“Then what did you want me to say to her?” Fu Huai’an looked at Lin Nuan deeply, smiled, and asked, “Should I have told her directly that my wife wasn’t happy with how well she knows me and that she should get out of the car?”

Lin Nuan was shocked. She then laughed before turning her head to watch the traffic outside the window, hiding her blushing face in her scarf. “What you said before was more euphemistic.”

She remembered that Tang Xi had talked frivolously when they had a meal with Ji Zibai that day. Fu Huai’an said that he couldn’t bear to see her being mistreated. Who knew that he actually meant what he said.

“It seems that your partner likes you very much. If she knows you’re married, will it affect your work?” Lin Nuan suddenly thought of something and turned her head to ask.

“I wouldn’t have allowed her to become my partner if she didn’t have any professional qualifications,” Fu Huai’an answered indifferently.

Lin Nuan’s mobile phone vibrated in her pocket. She wanted to tell Fu Huai’an not to underestimate a woman’s jealousy, but she also didn’t want to judge his partner too much. She believed he had a good eye for people.

She took out the phone, and there were the words “Aunt Wen” on the screen.

Wen Moshen’s mother?

Since Wen Moshen’s accident, Wen Moshen’s mother had never contacted her. That was until now, out of the blue. Lin Nuan felt it might be related to Wen Moshen.

“Wen Moshen’s Mom…” Lin Nuan stared at the phone screen and said, as if she were asking for Fu Huai’an’s advice on whether to answer the call or not.

Lin Nuan had left the upper-class circle of Haicheng for many years. At this moment, it wasn’t like Wen Moshen’s mom would invite her to have a cup of tea or chat with her. Their relationship wasn’t like mother and daughter, where they could talk about anything.

Fu Huai’an also guessed that the purpose of the call was about Wen Moshen.

“Mrs. Wen has always been noble. However, if such a noble person can get off their high horse, they will persist until they get the desired result.”

Lin Nuan wasn’t stupid, and she understood this. What Fu Huai’an meant was that if Lin Nuan didn’t answer Mrs. Wen’s call, she would call her relentlessly.

Lin Nuan hesitated. Then the telephone had been hung up. A few seconds later, Mrs. Wen called again, which confirmed Fu Huai’an’s words. If she didn’t get the result she wanted, she would persist until she did.

“Something might have happened to Wen Moshen,” Fu Huai’an said. “Answer it if you want!”

Lin Nuan answered the phone and put it near her ear.

“Aunt Wen,” Lin Nuan said.

Because she didn’t intend to hide anything from Fu Huai’an, Lin Nuan chose to put the call on speaker after answering it.

“Nuan Nuan.” Wen Moshen’s mom cried once she heard Lin Nuan’s voice. “Nuan Nuan… Please save Moshen! It was discovered that Moshen has a glioma, but he is reluctant to receive treatment from the doctors. Nuan Nuan… I know Moshen has always liked you. Your words… he… he may listen! I beg you! Can you persuade Moshen? I lost him once and finally got him back. I don’t want to lose him again.”

The voice of Wen Moshen’s mother sounded particularly desolate and desperate.

Lin Nuan was astonished. Her fingers clutched her phone tightly, and she didn’t speak for a while.

Before answering the phone, Lin Nuan had guessed that it was about Wen Moshen. She even guessed that Wen Moshen’s mother perhaps called her to let her persuade Wen Moshen and Gu Hanyan to get a divorce.

However, she never thought that Wen Moshen was seriously ill.

The scarf was wrapped around Lin Nuan’s neck, which warmed her neck and made her sweat unnoticeably. In her heart… she was experiencing an inexplicable mix of emotions.

This was different from the time she knew that Wen Moshen’s plane was missing. At that time… Lin Nuan felt like the whole world was collapsing.

But now, after a slight upsurge in her heart, there were still some unexpected things that were difficult to describe besides compassion.

On the contrary, it was the mother’s loving heart that made her more moved.

Lin Nuan didn’t know whether it was because her heart had grown cold over the years or… that person was no longer in her heart. He was only an ordinary friend. Her heart was just worried about her friend, that was all.

She took off her scarf and put it on her lap. She listened to the desperate cry from the other side of the phone and whispered, “Aunt Wen… Brother Moshen is married. As a friend, I can persuade him. However, whether he likes me or not is in the past. I dare not do so when you say that.” Marriage was a promise, one which encircled two people closely. There was happiness and misfortune in it. However, in other people’s marriages, no matter who liked someone who didn’t belong to them, they must know how to avoid suspicion.

Lin Nuan happened to be in a precarious situation, so she needed to know how to deal with it.

“Nuan Nuan… You have always been a kind girl. I beg you! What’s that Gu Hanyan? Our Wen family will never admit to having such a daughter-in-law! Your uncle and I have discussed this matter. As long as you can persuade Moshen to receive treatment, we will agree that you two can be together and let Moshen and Gu Hanyan get a divorce! We won’t be picky… as long as Moshen can live and still likes you!”

Fu Huai’an looked straight ahead with his eyes half squinted. What she said sounded almost like she was doing a favor for Lin Nuan, which made him feel very bad. As long as Wen Moshen liked Lin Nuan—what about what Lin Nuan felt?

“Aunt Wen, I am married already.”

Fu Huai’an didn’t think that Lin Nuan, who said she would keep their marriage a secret, would mention she was married for the second time today.

After a brief silence on the other end of the phone, Wen Moshen’s mother couldn’t believe it. “Nuan Nuan, are you bluffing?”

“No, I’m not. In order to avoid suspicion, I will call Brother Moshen to persuade him, but I don’t know if my words will work.”

It seemed that Lin Nuan was particularly ruthless. For the sake of a sick patient, even if he were just an ordinary friend, Lin Nuan should go to visit and persuade him to accept treatment. But she refused to go there when it concerned Wen Moshen.

“Nuan Nuan, are you really so cruel? You loved him so much that you even want to die for him when you went to Iraq!” Wen Moshen’s mother cried heavily.
