Chapter 584 - My Nuan Is Still Too Innocent

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next morning, Lin Nuan slept until 10:30.

If it wasn’t for her growling stomach, Lin Nuan likely wouldn’t have woken up. She was really too tired from last night.

Although Fu Huai’an wasn’t by her side, there was a dewy red rose on the bedside table, as well as Fu Huai’an’s sweet message.

Fu Huai’an, Lu Jinnan, and Little Lu had to discuss some matters concerning work. He asked Lin Nuan to eat something after she woke up, then be good and wait for him to return and take her out to play.

Lin Nuan looked at the message from Fu Huai’an; he was coaxing her like she was a little kid.

She took another look at the message; at the bottom were the words, “I hand to you all of my assets, Mrs. Fu, please safeguard with ease and use them boldly.”

Lin Nuan turned and retrieved a file that was sitting on the bedside table. The file felt heavy in her hands…

Her heart was beating rapidly.

It was a wondrous feeling.

Lin Nuan opened the file, and merely taking a quick look made her feel trepidation.

She had never expected Fu Huai’an to own so many assets. Included in the file were his identification documents, as well as all of his bank cards.

No wonder Fu Huai’an’s net worth was a mystery.

Lin Nuan felt like she had suddenly transformed into the wife of a tycoon, which was quite a wondrous feeling.

Of course, what made Lin Nuan the happiest was that what she said in jest on the little boat yesterday was taken seriously by Fu Huai’an. He actually handed all of his assets to her for safekeeping.

She had no idea where these documents came from. Surely he couldn’t have brought all of them with him considering they were there to have fun, right?

She took another look at Fu Huai’an’s message. It was mentioned that he had some business to settle with Little Lu and Lu Jinnan; Lin Nuan guessed that Fu Huai’an had asked Little Lu to bring these documents over after he sent Tuan Tuan back home.

The phone under her pillow vibrated. Lin Nuan speedily retrieved her phone thinking it was Fu Huai’an’s message, only to realize her phone’s battery had died.

After putting her phone to the side to charge, Lin Nuan put on her sleeping robe and got out of bed. She casually bunched her hair into a low ponytail, then carefully put the file inside her luggage.

After washing up, Lin Nuan picked up the rose on the bedside table and sniffed it; it was the fragrance of a rose, and not the artificial scent that florist shops sometimes added to fresh flowers.

After coming out of the bathroom, Lin Nuan, who was sniffing the rose with her head lowered, saw two people sitting in the living room and got a scare.

“You’re up!” Bai Xiaonian, who was seated in her wheelchair, greeted Lin Nuan with a white piece of paper stuck on her forehead.

You Nainai, who appeared to have a clean and fresh face, smiled at Lin Nuan. “Mrs. Fu!”

That morning, Fu Huai’an, Lu Jinnan, and Little Lu, who had rushed back, had some work to deal with, so Bai Xiaonian came over to look for Lin Nuan.

Before Lu Jinnan sent her over, Fu Huai’an had reminded her to let Lin Nuan sleep in a little. He said that You Nainai was pretty good at poker and that she could play with her for a little while.

Hence Bai Xiaonian came over to play poker with You Nainai. She lost so terribly that one couldn’t bear to look at her; she had tissue stuck all over her face.

Noticing the rose in Lin Nuan’s hands, Bai Xiaonian raised her hand to remove the white paper blocking her eyes, grinning slyly. “Yo, how romantic of Mr. Fu!”

As if to make it more obvious, Lin Nuan hid the rose behind her back. Her ears were reddened, and her actions were adorable.

“What are you hiding? I’m long used to eating dog food around you guys—this is but a small case!” Bai Xiaonian couldn’t resist laughing, not bothering to be more discreet even though You Nainai was around. She winked as she asked Lin Nuan, “You were nourished again last night, weren’t you!”

Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

Nourished?

Lin Nuan was stunned for a moment. When she returned to her senses, she glared fiercely at Bai Xiaonian. Bai Xiaonian had been led astray! Now she talked dirty whenever she opened her mouth!

“I can’t be bothered with you!” Lin Nuan rolled her eyes, then went searching for a vase to hold the rose.

“Tsk tsk… glaring at me! Last night, I came over with Lu Jinnan and some good wine. That moan you made… we could hear you despite being separated by several doors! No wonder Lin Nuan, who leads a disciplined life, could sleep until this hour.” Bai Xiaonian turned her wheels and rolled herself towards Lin Nuan.

Lin Nuan was shocked; she turned her head around, her large, dark eyes staring at Bai Xiaonian.

You Nainai was shocked too, a look of disbelief on her face. She seemed to have thought of something that made her ears turn red, and she rubbed her nose uncomfortably. She hadn’t expected Sir Fu, who normally looked abstinent, to be so ferocious!

Bai Xiaonian removed the tissue paper stuck to her face, unable to resist laughing. “Looking at your reaction, it was indeed intense last night!”

You Nainai was speechless.

“Bai Xiaonian!” Lin Nuan didn’t know how to tell her off.

Bai Xiaonian revealed a set of white teeth. “My Nuan is still too innocent. A little tactic, and you confess everything!”

The reason Bai Xiaonian didn’t bother to be discreet even though You Nainai was around was that she had heard from Lu Jinnan that You Nainai was the lady Tang Zheng liked. They even had a child who was as old as Tuan Tuan—Little Candy!

Since they were all grown women, and she was considered one of them, there was nothing to hide and dodge. Besides, Bai Xiaonian’s practical experience was the least amongst them.

Furthermore, Bai Xiaonian came early, and after a long chat with You Nainai, Bai Xiaonian very quickly found out about how You Nainai and Tang Zheng managed to conceive Little Candy.

Since everyone was on this topic, and since things had been made explicit, Bai Xiaonian no longer had any qualms.

“Orders from your Mr. Fu, for Nainai to take you to eat something after you wake up! I’m hungry too… quickly go change your clothes, then we can go out and grab a bite!”

Just then, the doorbell rang…

The conscientious You Nainai walked to the door. From the peephole, she saw that it was the young lady from yesterday, Chu Jiaoyang.

Honestly speaking, You Nainai didn’t have a good impression of Chu Jiaoyang; she was just a spoiled young lady who thought the whole world should be doting on her.

You Nainai turned her head around to look at Lin Nuan. “Mrs. Fu, it’s that young lady from yesterday, Chu Jiaoyang.”

Seeing Lin Nuan knit her brows lightly, Bai Xiaonian wasn’t planning to start something. She urged Lin Nuan to change her clothes, thinking that Chu Jiaoyang would leave on her own after seeing that no one was answering the door…

In the end, after Lin Nuan came out wearing new clothes, Chu Jiaoyang was still standing at the door, pressing the doorbell persistently.

Bai Xiaonian’s expression darkened, not sure whether to call this Chu Jiaoyang obstinate or silly!

Bai Xiaonian was the kind of person who, once she got into battle mode, could argue with someone to the ends of the earth. However, facing a “little princess” who had zero battle prowess like Chu Jiaoyang, Bai Xiaonian felt mentally fatigued.

Yesterday at lunch was a prime example. After Lin Nuan insinuated that there was a problem with the upbringing of this “little princess,” it wasn’t known whether she truly didn’t understand or was merely pretending that she didn’t. She even started exposing her family’s dirty laundry in public with a look of sincerity on her face. It was to the point that people felt embarrassed for suspecting that she was just pretending.
