Chapter 765 - Lin Nuan Started to Fear Death
The shopping malls had changed their giant posters to ones celebrating New Year’s Day, though the large Christmas tree at the entrance had yet to be removed.
Lin Nuan didn’t have to ask about Cen Mo’s identity. Previously, Lin Chen had received news from Cen Mo, and later, when Li Muyang managed to contact Cen Mo, Lin Nuan knew that Cen Mo’s identity wasn’t simple!
Originally, Lin Nuan had thought that the violent and law-breaking world was far away from her. But she had discovered… that it was always right beside her.
It was just that what she saw was a world disguised with peace!
Everyone beside her, as well as the people associated with her friends… more or less had some connection to the world that she found foreign.
Actually, it wasn’t that the world was too scary, Lin Nuan was just too fragile.
Because she now had Fu Huai’an and Tuan Tuan, Lin Nuan started to fear death, which was why she was extremely fearful of that world.
“Brother… you and Cen Mo, you guys… have work collaborations?” Lin Nuan subtly asked.
She wanted to ask if Lin Chen was involved in the world that she didn’t know about.
“Saved him overseas back then. He’s a friend.”
Lin Chen didn’t hide his relationship with Cen Mo, but he didn’t reveal any involvement. Else, how would he be able to ensure that the Lin Corporation was able to advance steadily in this filthy world?
“So, there’s no work collaboration…” Lin Nuan pressed, wanting to receive a definite reply.
“Mm!” Lin Chen nodded.
Lin Nuan nodded. Thank god… not everyone around her was involved.
Out of his chauvinistic thinking, Lin Chen felt that there were many things that Lin Nuan didn’t need to know about! This was also a form of protection for Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan returned to the new residence. Tang Xi was sitting in the living room, looking at the Lin relatives who came over in hopes of establishing some ties with him. There was a smile on his lips, yet despite his great concealment, people familiar with him would still detect his disdain.
Tang Xi was perhaps such a person, someone who thought a great deal of himself and considered himself an extraordinary person, forever occupying a high position above everyone else.
Lin Nuan was a little surprised to see Tang Xi, who had invited himself over.
Tang Xi was also surprised to see Lin Nuan return…
Lin Nuan was wearing a long black down jacket, and her entire body, including her long and loose curls, was hidden inside the down jacket. All that was revealed was her slim and straight calves and a pair of strikingly white sports shoes.
Lin Nuan nodded at Tang Xi out of courtesy before heading upstairs to change her clothes under You Nainai’s accompaniment.
Ji Zibai was talking with Fu Huai’an. It wasn’t easy for Xie Jingqian to finally spot a familiar face in Tang Xi, so she naturally went over to him.
Tang Xi introduced Xie Jingqian as Xie Jingqiu’s younger sister, so various families went over with their similarly aged daughters to try and establish some ties.
Tang Xi’s sudden appearance at the wedding seemed to verify the fact that Fu Huai’an would soon be entering the Jiahe Corporation as the president of the company.
Tang Xi was a petty man and still bore a grudge after being retorted at by Lin Nuan the last time. Therefore, he was always seeking an opportunity to have his revenge.
Seeing that Lin Nuan didn’t look so good as she headed upstairs, he turned his head and secretly asked Xie Jingqian, “Aye… isn’t today the day that Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an are holding their wedding? Why does Lin Nuan’s expression seem kind of ghastly to me? Was she forced? Or did she change her mind about marrying Fu Huai’an and run away only to be captured back in the end?”
“Brother Tang Xi, I feel that your mouth is pretty vicious! It’s their big day, so try to tone it down a little, else I’ll lodge a complaint with my older brother! Or with Xin Xin!” Xie Jingqian rolled her eyes at Tang Xi. “I heard that it’s because something happened to Nuan Nuan’s friend. Don’t go around seeking trouble!”
Tang Xi made a tsk sound at her, then uncrossed his legs and placed his cup on the coffee table. He pulled his phone from his pocket and glanced at it. Seeing that the incoming call wasn’t an important one, he declined it and looked at Xie Jingqian. Perhaps he hadn’t expected that Xie Jingqian would defend Lin Nuan.
The reason Tang Xi came was that he caught wind of the news that someone would come to snatch away the bride. He showed up in the hopes of watching a good show. Especially when he saw Lin Nuan leave in a car earlier, he had thought that he would get to see an enraged Fu Huai’an.
Unexpectedly, before the drama could unfold, Fu Huai’an arrived to entertain the guests, doing a solo act by himself!
Tang Xi was patient and sat there, waiting to see how Fu Huai’an would hold things up until the end. Unexpectedly, Lin Nuan returned!
Bor-ing!
Tang Xi sighed in his heart, thinking that it was a pity.

Lin Nuan changed out of her clothes, then You Nainai accompanied her downstairs. Fu Huai’an was waiting for Lin Nuan at the foot of the staircase.
Fu Huai’an had heard about Song Yao’s condition in the hospital. He saw Lin Nuan come down with slightly reddened eyes, so he pulled her into his arms by her slim waist and said in a low voice, “Bai Jinyu called me to say that Song Yao is alright, so she will definitely be fine…”
Lin Nuan nodded. Even she had heard of Bai Jinyu’s reputation in the medical field.
The best doctors in the country were Su Nian of gynecology, Guan Yanfei of cardiology, Bai Jinyu of neurosurgery, and Xu Zinan of plastic surgery.
Fu Huai’an kissed the top of Lin Nuan’s head, but before he could say anything else, she was called over by Liang Mulan, who wanted to ask about Song Yao’s condition. Even Lin Ran had come over and tried to pretend she was asking unintentionally, doing so under the excuse of getting some cake for Ji Yun.
Soon after Lin Nuan returned, Cen Mo had his men send over Lin Nuan’s wedding gift.
Lin Nuan frowned upon seeing the large gift box, looking as if there was something stuck in her throat. She clearly wanted to throw it away, yet she couldn’t do such a thing with so many people around.
You Nainai asked the servants to take the gift away.
Lin Nuan held onto Fu Huai’an’s arm. In her ears was his deep and pleasant-sounding magnetic voice, whilst in her heart, she was thinking about Song Yao’s condition.
Liu Mingchen’s parents had also come to Lin Nuan’s wedding.
Perhaps because Liu Mingchen’s mother had looked for Lin Nuan previously because of Liu Mingchen’s matter, to be showing up at Lin Nuan’s wedding… especially when she was getting married to the most eligible bachelor in Haicheng, caused Liu Mingchen’s mother to feel awkward.
However, she was a middle-aged person who had been through things, so she steadied herself and showed up to congratulate Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan smiled in response, acting as if Liu Mingchen’s mother had never spoken to her in a half-pleading-half-threatening manner.
This was why Lin Nuan was unwilling to make a grand affair of the wedding in the first place!
Lin Nuan liked sincere congratulations, but she didn’t like having to wear a fake smile on such an important day of her life. It was way too tiring for her to smile like that.
She was never one who spoke a lot. Faced with Liu Mingchen’s father’s warm questions, she merely answered whatever she was asked and didn’t say anything else.
Liu Mingchen’s father mentioned that Liu Mingchen had resigned and that they weren’t sure what he was busy with, that he wasn’t at home all the time.
Lin Nuan smiled, not continuing the topic about Liu Mingchen as she took a small sip of the fruit juice she was holding.
“Nuan Nuan, Xiaonian’s call!” You Nainai whispered in Lin Nuan’s ear.
Lin Nuan turned her head and told Fu Huai’an that she was going to answer Bai Xiaonian’s call, then politely nodded at Liu Mingchen’s parents before walking to a quiet corner to answer the phone. “Xiaonian…”
