Mr Fu, I Really Love You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the way to the hospital, there was something that Lin Nuan didnât dare to but couldnât help thinking aboutâ¦
What should she do if Fu Huaiâan was gone?
Just the thought of it made Lin Nuan feel as if the entire world was going to collapse.
An answer that was gradually getting clearer appeared in Lin Nuanâs heart, and she kept holding it in, not allowing herself to pry open that layer of fog. She didnât allow herself to arrive at an answer!
Right now, Fu Huaiâan was standing before her, safe and sound. Tears burst out from her eyes as the layer of fog in her heart that she intentionally didnât pry open caused her to be struck by the realization that⦠without Fu Huaiâan, she probably wouldnât be able to live on!
From the moment she was born until now, no matter what kind of great matter she encountered, Lin Nuan had never thought that she wouldnât be able to live on.
When her imagination was running wild with the various reasons that Fu Huaiâan didnât pick up the call, she felt like she was going crazy!
If the Fu Huaiâan she saw after coming here was alreadyâ¦
Then Lin Nuan would either go crazy or wouldnât be able to live on!
Right now, Fu Huaiâan was perfectly fine, standing before Lin Nuan and embracing her. However, Lin Nuan still felt as if her heart had been clenched tightly by that big hand, causing her to be unable to breathe!
She still felt that the fear was so great that it brought despair.
âIâm sorry, itâs my fault! I left my phone behind in the car! I met someone fromâ¦â
Before Fu Huaiâan could finish his words, Lin Nuan heard someone calling Fu Huaiâan. âCommander Fu!â
Lin Nuan wiped her tears and snot onto Fu Huaiâanâs shirt and turned her head. She continued grabbing Fu Huaiâanâs shirt, not releasing her hands.
The person who called Fu Huaiâan Commander Fu was the black-haired man that Lin Nuan had seen when she opened up the last separating curtain. The man had already put on a cap, and the hood of his black hoodie was also cupped over his head.
Earlier on, Lin Nuan was filled with worry for Fu Huaiâan and didnât take a close look. However, she now found this person a little familiar.
Fu Huaiâan lowered his head and said to Lin Nuan, âYou should have met him in Iraq. Qin Zhe!â
Hearing that, Lin Nuan released her grip on Fu Huaiâanâs shirt and stood next to him, facing Qin Zhe. Her red eyes carefully assessed Qin Zheâs features.
Qin Zhe was surprised as well and also assessed Lin Nuanâs small face seriously.
Lin Nuan looked at Qin Zheâs tanned features and felt that he was a little familiar. However, she couldnât recall which soldier he had been. After all, back then, all of them had camouflage face paint on, even Fu Huaiâan.
âItâs you! Gutsy Sister!â Qin Zhe recalled who Lin Nuan was and unconsciously called her by the nickname that their team had for her previously.
Lin Nuan was stunned.
Was he addressing her?
âGutsy Sister?â This also seemed to be the first time that Fu Huaiâan had heard that Lin Nuan had such a nickname.
Qin Zhe scratched his head and said, smiling, âItâs a nickname our team had for her back then!â
Lin Nuan was a feeble woman, but she had dared to go against terrorists for the sake of a child she didnât know, refusing to hand the child over. What was this if not gutsy?
Recalling how Lin Nuan and Fu Huaiâan were embracing each other earlier, Qin Zhe asked out of curiosity, âCould it be that the two of you fell in love in Iraq?â
Lin Nuan had yet to reply when Fu Huaiâan put his arm around Lin Nuanâs shoulder and nodded.
Qin Zhe smiled. âCongratulations!â
He beamed as he looked at Fu Huaiâan and Lin Nuan, but then he thought of something, and a hint of grief flashed uncontrollably in his eyes. His throat rolled for a moment, and then his gaze returned to that of a sincere smile. âCommander Fu, itâs really great to see that youâre living a good life now! If only all of us⦠could be just as good!â
There seemed to be hidden meaning behind Qin Zheâs wordsâ¦
His eyes turned red, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he had made up his mind. He then said, âI should get going. I wonât stand on ceremony with you. And thank you! Commander Fu, Iâll be heading off!â
âWhere are you going with your injuries?â Fu Huaiâan frowned, having no intention of letting Qin Zhe off. His tone sounded indisputable as he said, âCome with me!â
Qin Zheâs brows furrowed tightly. âCommander Fu, I mustnât implicate you!â
âYou have already done that! I was the one who brought you to the hospital!â
Qin Zhe and Fu Huaiâan were brothers who had gone through life and death situations together in the past! He was his team member!
It was one thing if he didnât know about this, but after knowing about it, there was no way that he was going to leave things be!
Fu Huaiâan had also taken on missions in the past, so how could he not know how dangerous Qin Zheâs plight was?
Fu Huaiâan grabbed Qin Zheâs shoulder with his big hand that was holding the bill and pulled Qin Zhe toward him. âI can send you past the border! Letâs go!â
Fu Huaiâan patted Qin Zheâs shoulder, indicating for him to rest assured.
Qin Zhe felt uneasy. However, Fu Huaiâanâs words had always been orders to them, and his influence was strongly built into them. There was no way he could get himself to object to what Fu Huaiâan said.
He followed behind Lin Nuan and Fu Huaiâan and got into the car.
Lin Nuan didnât continue to ask what happened to Qin Zhe. Qin Zheâs identity was special, and Lin Nuan guessed that it must be something related to his mission and needed to be kept secret.
She merely asked Fu Huaiâan why they couldnât contact him today.
Fu Huaiâan said that he happened to meet Qin Zhe, who had been injured at the scene of the accident, so he sent Qin Zhe to the hospital. He left the cake and phone behind in the car and thus didnât manage to pick up the calls that Little Lu made.
In the extended luxury car, Qin Zhe leaned against the window with his hands in his pockets. He kept on looking outside.
Along Dubaiâs streets, a luxury car like this didnât stand out at all. It was very common.
The partition in front had been raised, and the chauffeur couldnât see what was going on in the back.
Fu Huaiâan didnât press Qin Zhe about his mission. He merely asked, âYouâve been betrayed?â
Qin Zhe looked at Fu Huaiâan in surprise and nodded with a grim countenance. His hands, which were in his pockets, clenched tightly, and green veins were popping out.
Fu Huaiâan wore an understanding expression. âIâll make arrangements to send you back tonight!â
âWill this implicate you?â Qin Zhe sat upright, feeling uneasy.
âI have some connections over here, and not just anyone can lay their hands on me. Even if someone finds out that I was the one to send you back, it wonât matter!â
Fu Huaiâanâs words let Qin Zhe feel at ease.
Qin Zhe hesitated for a moment as if there was something he wanted to say to Fu Huaiâan. He threw a glance at Lin Nuan and eventually pursed his lips, leaning back against the comfortable seat with his brows tightly furrowed.
Qin Zheâs mission this time around was to investigate the smuggling of firearms.
Qin Zhe wanted to say that some vague leads pointed toward Haicheng. Qin Zhe wanted to ask if it was related to Fu Huaiâan but was afraid that this would scare Lin Nuan. If Fu Huaiâan was really involvedâ¦
Qin Zhe raised his head and looked at Fu Huaiâan, recalling that Fu Huaiâan mentioned that he had some connections here.
Qin Zhe suddenly felt a little uncertain about whether Fu Huaiâan was trustworthy.
However, Qin Zhe was willing to trust Fu Huaiâan. After all, Fu Huaiâanâs younger brother and sister-in-law had both been killed by the guns of those people. Therefore, he would be willing to believe that Fu Huaiâan was involved in firearms!
Qin Zhe refused to believe that Fu Huaiâan had smuggled firearms to those people for the sake of money!
At the thought of this, Qin Zhe felt a lot more assuredâ¦
He was willing to believe in Fu Huaiâan!
Later on, in the absence of Lin Nuan, Qin Zhe was willing to reveal everything to Fu Huaiâan!
