Chapter 619 - I’ll Definitely Give It My All!

The sweet fragrance of the red dates rose up, and her long curly lashes were covered in a layer of mist, moistening her eyes that were like black gemstones.

Lin Nuan swallowed the snack. Even if he was Mr. Moral… Lin Nuan had already gotten married to him and would naturally share woes and weals with him.

Her heart gradually calmed down.

The phone in Ah Zhan’s pocket vibrated. He saw Lin Nuan putting down her teacup and drawing a piece of tissue paper to wipe her mouth, so he covered his mouth with one hand and turned to pick up the phone in a soft voice.

The order from the other end of the call was for Ah Zhan to bring Lin Nuan over.

Even though Ah Zhan was unwilling to do so, he still put away his phone and said respectfully to Lin Nuan, “Ms. Lin, let me take you over…”

Lin Nuan smiled at Ah Zhan and said, “You better call me Mrs. Fu! It sounds better that way.”

Ah Zhan was slightly stunned, and then he nodded. “Mrs. Fu!”

Lin Nuan followed Ah Zhan out of the door from the first floor and saw that Li Muyang and Gu Qingcheng were standing before a fountain in the manor.

Li Muyang had handsome and exquisite features like those of a demon, and even though he was skinny and carried a hint of sickness, his flaws couldn’t obscure his looks! It was fine to look at Gu Qingcheng individually… but when Gu Qingcheng stood together with Li Muyang, he didn’t lose out in looks at all! Gu Qingcheng usually didn’t smile a lot, but it was true that he was handsome to the point that it would cause one’s heart to throb.

One of them had an alluring and demonic look with a smile, while the other had a cool and handsome appearance that was as calm as water.

Seeing that Lin Nuan and Ah Zhan had come over, the smile on Li Muyang’s handsome and lean face appeared even brighter. Although his face was pale, the smile still made it hard for the gardeners to turn their eyes away.

There was a black car parked behind Gu Qingcheng, and Lin Nuan guessed that he had driven that here.

Lin Nuan could count the number of times she had conversed with Gu Qingcheng with one hand. However, right now, she felt very assured and warm with him around.

Lin Nuan trusted the friends that Fu Huai’an had placed his trust in.

Unlike Li Muyang’s casual wear, Gu Qingcheng, with his tall figure and long legs, was wearing a dark blue woolen coat that brought out his wide shoulders. He was also wearing a pair of well-ironed formal trousers…

He had a black scarf around his neck and a knitted cardigan over his white collared shirt, and he was holding a cigarette with one hand and a pair of leather gloves with the other. There were also traces of fatigue, likely from the trip.

His features were cold, and his deep and narrow eyes were filled with an indifferent gaze. Even if he stood there without saying anything, he still emitted an aloof and sharp aura.

He tapped his cigarette into an ashtray and looked in Lin Nuan’s direction. Lin Nuan’s exquisite face appeared a little pale, and her black eyes that were like black jade appeared a little reddish. Upon seeing this, he turned to say something to Li Muyang with a calm expression.

The corners of Li Muyang’s lips curled up further, and his deep eyes appeared even more unfathomable.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Qingcheng casually flicked away the cigarette he hadn’t finished, and tiny sparks crashed into the ground. He then opened the car door and brought out a lady’s coat before walking over to Lin Nuan.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng walking toward her, Lin Nuan suppressed her intense heartbeat and smiled at him as if she were seeing an old friend.

Gu Qingcheng stood before Lin Nuan and handed the coat to her. “Put it on!”

Before Gu Qingcheng came to get Lin Nuan, Fu Huai’an had instructed him to buy a coat for her, afraid that she’d be cold. Gu Qingcheng knew nothing about women’s clothing and got someone to buy one casually. He had no idea if Lin Nuan would like it or not.

After expressing her thanks, Lin Nuan took the coat and put it on. She asked, a little worried, “If I leave with you now, will others trace it to Huai’an?”

Lin Nuan was Fu Huai’an’s wife, and Gu Qingcheng treated her as one of his own. Despite being a man of few words, he raised his hand to circle behind Lin Nuan’s waist without touching her and said calmly by her ear, “Your safety is more important. Let’s go!”

After walking to the car, Lin Nuan saw Victoria bringing Li Muyang a coat and meticulously draping it over him.

Gu Qingcheng opened the rear passenger side door for Lin Nuan…

Out of courtesy, Lin Nuan placed her hand on the door and thanked Li Muyang. “No matter what, thank you, Mr. Li, for saving me!”

After saying that, Lin Nuan looked toward Ah Zhan, who was already standing behind Li Muyang. “And thank you as well, Ah Zhan!”

Ah Zhan looked toward Lin Nuan in surprise and then nodded respectfully.

The corners of Li Muyang’s lips curled up, and his gaze brushed past Gu Qingcheng and finally met Lin Nuan’s clear eyes. “Mr. Gu has brought a lot of goodwill in this trip here, and we’re considered to be even. So, there’s no need for thanks.”

“This is something I should do! It’s not good to trouble Mr. Li.” Lin Nuan nodded toward Li Muyang. “Then, I’ll be leaving!”

After Lin Nuan stepped into the car, the corners of Li Muyang’s lips curled up even more.

Lin Nuan clearly wanted to draw a line between them.

That was fine. Li Muyang would simply need more time and contact with Lin Nuan to get closer to her. He was in no hurry…

Li Muyang looked at Gu Qingcheng. “While Mr. Gu is in the United States, feel free to contact Ah Zhan if you need any help. I’ll definitely do my best to help out however I can!”

Gu Qingcheng nodded, his expression remaining as calm and indifferent as usual, making it hard for others to fathom his thoughts.

It was only when Gu Qingcheng drove the car out of the manor that Ah Zhan went up to say to Li Muyang in a soft voice, “Boss, let’s head back, it’s getting cold outside.”

The hands Li Muyang had in his pockets slowly clenched into fists, and the smile gradually disappeared from his face. He believed that… there would be a day where Lin Nuan would return to this place! She would!

…

It was only when the car had left Li Muyang’s manor that Lin Nuan felt assured.

Her stiffened back leaned against the seat, and she heaved out a long breath.

Gu Qingcheng took a glance at the relieved Lin Nuan through the rearview mirror and said, “Old Fu will be arriving very soon.”

Lin Nuan nodded. Gu Qingcheng’s low and calm voice had the power to calm one’s heart.

“I’m only afraid…” Lin Nuan spoke up with a slightly hoarse voice, “That I’ll implicate Huai’an.”

Gu Qingcheng didn’t speak for a while. He had always been a man of few words, and the people he faced the most were his subordinates. Therefore, he didn’t know much about consoling people, especially women, and it was only after a while that he said, “You won’t.”

Lin Nuan smiled at Gu Qingcheng and turned to look at the reversing street view outside, feeling heavy-hearted.

She had the feeling that traces of danger had already started hovering around when they were in Dubai. She was afraid that their future would be filled with fear, completely different than the peaceful and calm life that she wanted.

Red light.

Gu Qingcheng had one hand on the steering wheel as he stopped the car. Seeing that they were going to arrive at the hotel soon, he said to Lin Nuan, “There’s a cap, mask, and scarf in the bag in the backseat. When we reach the hotel later, put them on. I might have to perform intimate actions with you, and you might find it offensive. When we reach the hall on the first floor, head to the washroom. Someone will meet you there! As long as your identity isn’t divulged, Old Fu will be safe.”

Understanding Gu Qingcheng’s intentions, Lin Nuan nodded and took out the mask, scarf, and cap from the LV bag in the backseat and put them on.

The car parked steadily at the hotel, and the bellboy quickly ran over and opened the door for Lin Nuan.
