Chapter 978 - Life-Saving Medicine!
Song Yao nodded. She looked up and gazed at Lin Nuan with her reddened eyes. “I don’t quite understand people who are psychologically ill. If I encourage Cen Mo to take revenge, I don’t know what Cen Mo will end up like subsequently! I’m terrified Cen Mo will lose control! But… never mind Cen Mo, even when I looked at that video, I had the urge to kill those people… kill that Chu woman! But I can understand, people are selfish. In a life-and-death situation, anyone would choose to protect themselves!”
“But what that Chu woman did later…” Song Yao clenched her fists. “I really…”
Lin Nuan held Song Yao’s hand and said, “I understand. You need to believe in Cen Mo. So long as you… and your child stay by Cen Mo’s side, Cen Mo won’t lose control of his emotions! You know I’m someone with a psychological illness too. Although there have been constant troubles these days, with Huai’an and Tuan Tuan by my side, it’s been a long time… since I went to Sister Hanzi!”
Song Yao gazed at Lin Nuan, a little surprised…
Lin Nuan smiled and nodded at Song Yao. “So… the key to Cen Mo’s psychological illness is you… and our little sweetie!”
Lin Nuan then bent over and placed a hand on Song Yao’s tummy. She looked up and smiled at Song Yao. “You must believe in the weight you and your child hold in Cen Mo’s heart. You must believe in Cen Mo! Believe me, since I’m speaking from experience as someone who suffered from a psychological illness!”
Song Yao’s watery eyes reflected Lin Nuan’s warm smile. At that moment, Song Yao felt more confident…
“Done whispering to each other?”
Hearing Fu Huai’an’s mature and deep voice, Lin Nuan got up and looked towards the source of the voice. She saw Fu Huai’an standing at the turn of the stairs not far from them, with both hands in his pockets.
Song Yao turned around to wipe her tears with the back of her hand and wrapped herself firmly with her jacket, then shoved Lin Nuan. “Done talking! I won’t disturb you two!”
Lin Nuan smiled and glanced at Song Yao, then made a gesture to cheer her on before walking towards Fu Huai’an.
After Fu Huai’an nodded at Song Yao, he reached out to hold Lin Nuan’s waist, then walked with her back to their room. Song Yao could vaguely hear Fu Huai’an laughing lightly and asking Lin Nuan, “Tuan Tuan and I are your medicine?”
Lin Nuan smiled and turned her head to gaze at Fu Huai’an, holding Fu Huai’an’s arm with both hands and nodding. “Right! Life-saving medicine!”
When Song Yao heard Lin Nuan say this to Fu Huai’an, she was a little surprised… Then, she couldn’t help smiling.
She hadn’t expected that Lin Nuan would one day say something so flirty. In Song Yao’s heart… Lin Nuan had always been a calm and steady girl. She hadn’t expected that Lin Nuan was such a glib talker.
Song Yao stood where she was, watching Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an’s sweet back views, her mind filled with Lin Nuan’s words to her earlier.
After hesitating for a long while, Song Yao let out a long exhale and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Cen Mo was standing at the door with one hand in his pocket and smoking a cigarette. His back view looked lonely and sad, so sad it made Song Yao’s heart ache for him…
Supporting herself on the handrail by the stairs, she quietly walked up to Cen Mo and circled her arms around his waist from behind.
Cen Mo, who was in a daze, turned around, surprised by the hug… Before he saw her, he could already smell the shampoo fragrance from the top of Song Yao’s head.
Cen Mo threw down his half-smoked cigarette and extinguished it with his foot, placing his hand on Song Yao’s slender arm that was wrapped around his waist, gently caressing it. “It’s cold at night, why did you come out?”
Cen Mo sounded extra raspy because he was smoking, with a texture like sandpaper.
“Let’s go inside, I have something to say to you…” Song Yao’s voice was soft like a kitten. “Okay?”
“Be good and go upstairs to sleep first. I’ll come later!”
Song Yao could detect the restraint and quiver in Cen Mo’s voice, as well as his endless sorrow.
Song Yao held Cen Mo even more tightly. She whispered to Cen Mo from behind him, “I know how upset you are after watching the video…”
Sensing Cen Mo tighten his grip on her wrist, she knew that she had struck Cen Mo’s sore spot, so she embraced him more tightly. “I know you want to take revenge for Xiangsi. Even I, when I saw what that Chu woman did in the video, had an urge to kill her!”
“You want to stop me?”
When Cen Mo spoke, his chest vibrated visibly.
Song Yao shook her head. “I want to tell you… regardless of the decision you make, you have my support! I’ll be by your side! I know I have limited ability and won’t be of much help, but I hope that you know I will always be around! Always supporting you!”
Cen Mo hadn’t expected that Song Yao would say something like this to him, so he was rather surprised. From his black eyes, one could tell he was affected by her words.
“I… and our child!” Song Yao sounded slightly choked up. “We will always be by your side!”
Cen Mo gripped Song Yao’s hand tightly. He was overwhelmed by emotions, yet he was unable to convince himself entirely that someone would be by his side forever!
No one…
Even so, Cen Mo’s heart had softened greatly. The rage in his heart from seeing Lu Xiangsi be murdered lessened by quite a bit. Even the sorrow in his heart was comforted by a warm current.
He turned around and embraced Song Yao in his arms, saying to her gently, “Let’s go… Let’s go upstairs!”
…
Fu Huai’an accompanied Lin Nuan back to their room. When Fu Huai’an was washing up, the phone he placed on the bedside table vibrated. Lin Nuan, who was putting on face cream at the dressing table, got up. She wiped the excess cream onto her neck as she walked towards the bedside table.
She picked up Fu Huai’an’s phone and was rather surprised to see that the incoming call was from Xie Jingqiu…
Lin Nuan had seen Xie Jingqiu in Jincheng once, and she still remembered that they ate together once.
Xie Jingqiu was the older brother of Xie Jingqian, and he was also Su Nian’s husband. Because of the messy relationships in their family, Lin Nuan had asked Fu Huai’an about them before, but Fu Huai’an had said that he wasn’t familiar with the family of Ji Zibai’s niece.
However, Xie Jingqiu was the chairman of the Jiahe Corporation. Lin Nuan wondered if Xie Jingqiu was looking for Fu Huai’an regarding cooperation matters at work.
But then, China was eight hours ahead of Morocco. It was 9:30 pm in Morocco now, which meant it should be 5:30 am in China. In any case, he shouldn’t be calling at this hour…
Lin Nuan took the phone to the bathroom, knocked on the door, and twisted open the knob. She stuck her head in and said in a soft voice, “Huai’an, a call from Dr. Su’s husband. Are you answering it?”
Fu Huai’an was shaving in front of the sink, and there was still foam on his face. He slowly rinsed the foam off the shaver under the tap and looked at Lin Nuan with a questioning look through the mirror. “Dr. Su?”
“Ji Zibai’s niece, Dr. Su Nian of Jincheng’s Furen Hospital…” Lin Nuan jogged to Fu Huai’an and raised the phone before him. “Her husband, the chairman of the Jiahe Corporation!”
