“Xiao Nuan, be good. I’ll bring you a present when I come back! Okay?” Fu Huai’an comforted Lin Nuan.

“I’m not talking gibberish. Look…” Lin Nuan raised her arm to show Fu Huai’an, her eyes reddened.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She had instructed You Nainai and Lu Jinnan not to tell Fu Huai’an about her injury at the hospital, yet when she video called Fu Huai’an, she couldn’t resist telling him.

She didn’t know if this was considered despicable. She knew that, because of her injury, even if it didn’t make Fu Huai’an come back right now, at least Fu Huai’an would agree to some things she asked of him.

Lin Nuan wanted to hog Fu Huai’an’s private number while he was in Dubai…

She wanted to be able to call out “Huai’an” at any moment and have him reply to her. She wanted to know where Fu Huai’an was and whether he was in any form of danger.

Frankly speaking, Lin Nuan wanted to keep tabs on Fu Huai’an’s every movement in an above board manner.

“What happened?” Fu Huai’an frowned and looked worried.

“My mind was filled with you, and I wasn’t careful when I walked!” Lin Nuan retracted her arm and hid it back under the blanket. She then said with reddened eyes, “I feel especially awful being separated from you, even if it’s only for a second! I want to be an accessory that you carry everywhere!”

Lin Nuan wasn’t being honest. Fu Huai’an’s voice dimmed, and he sounded imposing. “Want me to call You Nainai and ask her?”

Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

You Nainai had an instinctive fear of Fu Huai’an and would surely confess everything once she was asked.

Lin Nuan had no choice but to give an honest recount of how she got injured. She also took the chance to deride Fang Yan’s husband and mother-in-law. Yet, she was afraid Fu Huai’an would be overly worried, so she concluded with, “Actually, I’m fine. I only got four stitches, and it didn’t bleed much. It’s all superficial!”

After she finished, Lin Nuan frowned, regretting what she had said.

She was initially planning on making it sound more serious, to see if she could dupe Fu Huai’an into coming back!

However, she felt bothered the instant she saw Fu Huai’an frown, so she couldn’t bear to lie to him and cause him to worry for her.

She secretly berated herself for being spineless, her expression vexed.

It was said that people in love had IQs of zero. Why was her IQ still subpar despite having been married to Fu Huai’an for so long?

She still couldn’t resist worrying for Fu Huai’an, still couldn’t bear to see him frown…

She looked up and gazed at Fu Huai’an with her clear eyes, frowning. “I initially planned on making my injury sound more serious so that you’d be worried and rush back immediately!”

Lin Nuan didn’t hide anything from Fu Huai’an. All of a sudden, Fu Huai’an didn’t know whether he ought to praise Lin Nuan or laugh at her.

Lin Nuan pulled down the blanket hiding her petite mouth and asked, “Do you want to reward me for my honesty and come back earlier?”

The wheedling Lin Nuan was like a little fox with its tail stuck up in the air. The cleverness in her eyes was the most beautiful thing Fu Huai’an had ever seen.

She was even asking for a reward herself! Fu Huai’an didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Fu Huai’an cleared his throat. “No matter how fast, it would have to be after the groundbreaking ceremony ends, right?”

Lin Nuan laid on Fu Huai’an’s pillow as he asked if Fang Yan needed a lawyer. If she did, he said that he could offer assistance.

Fu Huai’an had a law firm in Jincheng, and the lawyer who was most skilled at handling divorce cases, Bai Hui, was already Fu Huai’an’s partner in the law firm. So long as Fu Huai’an opened his mouth, Bai Hui would surely take on Fang Yan’s case.

Fu Huai’an told Lin Nuan about Bai Hui, who replied that she would ask Fang Yan tomorrow whether she needed assistance in this area.

“Say, how could such selfish people like Fang Yan’s husband exist in this world?” Lin Nuan couldn’t resist complaining to Fu Huai’an. Using the pillow to prop up her phone, she plugged the USB charging cable into her phone and freed both hands.

Seeing that Lin Nuan could still wheedle and complain to him, Fu Huai’an felt less worried about her. When she yawned, he smiled slightly and reminded her, “Don’t let your wound come into contact with water for the next few days. I’ll remind you to change your wound dressing on time. If you’re tired, sleep early. I’ll get Little Lu to inform Fang Yan not to schedule anything for you these few days so that you can rest properly at home and wait for me to come back!”

“Are you busy?” Lin Nuan asked.

“I don’t have much on my schedule today, I just noticed that you’re getting sleepy…” Fu Huai’an spoke in a gentle voice. “Goodnight, baby!”

Fu Huai’an’s magnetic voice entered Lin Nuan’s ears, making her heart throb. She gripped the blankets. “But after ending this video call with you, I likely won’t be able to fall asleep! I’m the only one lying on this large bed. Without your presence, this bed feels cold! Can I sleep with the video call on? That way, I can see you anytime and any place! Take it as rewarding me for being so honest!”

After laying so much groundwork, Lin Nuan finally revealed her intention…

She wanted to fall asleep with the video call on at night and talk with Fu Huai’an when she woke up the next morning. Basically, she wanted to be able to track Fu Huai’an’s every movement 24/7, to remind him not to put himself in any danger with her presence.

“Okay! I’ll watch as you sleep…” Fu Huai’an acceded to her request.

Fu Huai’an was unable to reject the small wish.

Lin Nuan revealed a satisfied smile, her eyes reflecting the resplendent sunset behind Fu Huai’an as she spoke. “The sunset on your side is lovely!”

Fu Huai’an didn’t turn back to look, merely saying in a low voice, “Not as pretty as my wife…”

In Fu Huai’an’s eyes, whatever beautiful things existed in this world, none were nearly as charming as one smile from Lin Nuan.

Lin Nuan, who couldn’t sleep well without Fu Huai’an by her side, started to feel sleepy as the video call went on. Her eyelids began feeling heavier and heavier until they finally closed slowly.

Fu Huai’an gazed at Lin Nuan’s relaxed and smiling face as she slept, grazing the phone screen with his thumb, feeling comforted and at peace.

When he left Haicheng, he could sense Lin Nuan’s lifelessness and anger through the French windows. But his little bride was easy to coax—just one video call was enough to appease her anger. With just one video call, she was all smiles and acted coquettishly with him.

Actually, his little bride was most concerned about his safety! So long as she could see him safe and sound at the hotel and not in any danger, her anger was appeased.

Fu Huai’an felt incredibly lucky to be able to obtain Lin Nuan’s heart, to receive her love… a silly girl who loved without any reservation.

When he heard the sound of someone knocking on the door, Fu Huai’an was afraid of waking Lin Nuan, so he turned off the microphone before saying, “Come in…”

Little Lu pushed open and stood at the door, saying to Fu Huai’an, “Chairman, Qin Zhe has already reached the Jebel Ali Port! At 7 pm tonight, you’re scheduled to attend a private party held by the Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Mr. Ma.”

Fu Huai’an nodded, holding the phone in his hand as his vision swept past the soundly asleep Lin Nuan on the screen. “Got it!”

“Then, if you don’t have any other instructions for me, Chairman, I’ll go out first!”

“Little Lu…” Fu Huai’an called out to Little Lu.

Little Lu froze and gazed at Fu Huai’an, who was wearing Bluetooth earphones and slipping his phone into his pocket before reaching out for his jacket. “Just now, on the way from the airport, did you see any florist?”
