Chapter 661 - She Loves Him!
Liang Mulan’s actions were natural and smooth. The soft tissue paper wrapped around Liang Mulan’s finger and gently brushed against Lin Nuan’s lips. Their gazes met, and both Lin Nuan and Liang Mulan’s eyes turned red as they let out soft laughs.
Lin Nuan was actually very lucky. She had a mother like Liang Mulan to accompany her through her entire childhood. There were many things that she had learned from Liang Mulan’s influence!
Liang Mulan drew back her hand and looked at Lin Nuan with feelings of consolation in her eyes. “My Nuan Nuan has grown up…”
Countless times in the past, Liang Mulan had imagined the scene in which Lin Nuan got married. She thought that she would be the one to drape the white veil over her and then break out in tears.
However, she hadn’t expected Lin Nuan to marry herself off silently, without even a proper wedding!
“Do you want to have dinner with Mom and your brother tonight?” Liang Mulan asked Lin Nuan. “I don’t know if you have any other plans later.”
Not wanting to worry Liang Mulan by telling her that Tuan Tuan was hospitalized from a fever, Lin Nuan only said, “How about tomorrow? Give me a call tomorrow if you’re free. I have something going on today…”
Liang Mulan didn’t force her and nodded. “Alright!”
After Lin Nuan removed her makeup, the staff members from the production crew arranged for Lin Nuan to leave through a special path, avoiding the fans. They had already moved the car that You Nainai drove there into the passageway.
Lin Nuan, who was wearing a cap, had her arms around Liang Mulan’s arm, and the two of them took the elevator and left the building through the back door.
Before heading out the back door, Liang Mulan tugged Lin Nuan’s coat out of habit and then pulled up her sweater’s hood before pushing open the door.
It was drizzling in Haicheng.
The light shower distorted the cold road lights in the parking lot. A layer of mist shrouded the chilly air, fogging up the view.
Lin Chen sat in his car. He hung up the call he was on and casually tossed the phone onto the dashboard. Clamping a lit cigarette between his long and slender fingers, he rubbed his forehead and took in a deep puff before exhaling white smoke.
He tugged at the tie at his collar and still didn’t feel good. He bit onto the cigarette and half-squinted his eyes amidst the white smoke. After a moment, he removed his tie and threw it into the front passenger seat, then removed his suit and rolled down the car window moodily.
There were no secrets in this world that could be kept forever. Lin Chen had already found out that Lin Nuan had been kidnapped in Venice. He had also heard what Fu Huai’an had done in Venice.
Cen Mo had merely given a vague hint to Lin Chen that those people in Venice were targeting Fu Huai’an!
He also told Lin Chen that Haicheng wasn’t peaceful recently. Some people were targeting the “Mr. Moral” behind Gu Qingcheng.
Lin Chen never got involved in any dangerous business. The Lin family were proper businessmen, but even proper business people couldn’t be completely blind or deaf. They still needed to have channels in which they could get the news that they should know about.
However, what the Lin family knew were superficial things. After all, that world and the peaceful world within the country were two different things. The Lin family’s ambitions weren’t so great that they’d want to get involved in any business that could earn them money.
In the past, Lin Chen only knew that Gu Qingcheng’s business dealings were shady. However, it was only just now that he had found out from Cen Mo that Gu Qingcheng was slowly becoming the greatest dealer in firearms. It was because Gu Qingcheng had stayed at the very top that some people were no longer able to sit still. Therefore, they wanted to pull out that Mr. Moral behind Gu Qingcheng!
Lin Chen frowned and took a deep puff of his cigarette. If he were to guess who that “Mr. Moral” in Haicheng was, the first person that came to his mind would be Fu Huai’an!
Putting aside the fact that Fu Huai’an and Gu Qingcheng’s relationship was close, Lin Chen had gotten some information that Fu Huai’an had given Lin Nuan. The information was so astonishing that not only could they protect the lives of his father and his second uncle, they could also assure his second uncle’s promotion.
Therefore, Lin Chen had enough reason to suspect that Fu Huai’an was Mr. Moral.
Mr. Moral… The boss behind Gu Qingcheng?
Lin Chen’s brows furrowed tightly, and he took another puff of the cigarette. Based on what Lin Chen knew, there weren’t many who could have a good ending after getting involved in that world!
Even if there were, in their later years, their family would be hunted down and killed.
Both he and Lin Nuan had lived in this peaceful era since young. Matters that felt dangerous or involved human lives were all just on the news!
The most serious events that they had witnessed before were things like someone being beaten to the point of paralysis…
However, the people in that world were all criminals, and murder was a piece of cake for them!
If Lin Nuan were to be with the so-called Mr. Moral, then who would be the one to assure her and her descendants’ peace?
Lin Chen had never encountered such a tricky problem before.
When Fu Huai’an had posted a Weibo post to support Lin Nuan after she got into trouble, Lin Chen had already accepted it! He felt that it was enough that Lin Nuan had a man like Fu Huai’an to dote on her and protect her, allowing her a lifetime of peace and happiness.
He could tell from Lin Nuan’s gaze when she was looking at Fu Huai’an that she loved him!
However, what if Fu Huai’an was that Mr. Moral?
Cen Mo said that in this world, people died unnatural deaths every day. Politicians, militants, rich merchants… and their families! Even in the present world where information flourished, as long as the people in power with money and authority were bent on not letting the public find out about something, then only a small portion of people would find out about it!
The fact that people didn’t know about these things didn’t mean that they didn’t take place.
The world that was plagued with danger had always been by their side. It was just that the people living in the peaceful world didn’t know about it!
Lin Chen didn’t care about the people dying every day, as those people were unrelated to him. He was only concerned about Lin Nuan. He feared that in the future, Lin Nuan would also become one of those people.
Taking a deep puff of his cigarette, the red sparks on the cigarette moved up. Half of the cigarette was burned, leaving behind only white smoke.
Lin Chen raised his head and saw Lin Nuan coming out, holding Liang Mulan’s arm. Through the white smoke, Lin Chen could see the small and fair face under the cap and hood clearly. Even though they were so far apart, Lin Chen could still see her beautiful features, which were like a piece of art.
Lin Chen tapped the ashes outside the car window and bit the cigarette, getting out of the car while holding his suit. After he got out, he closed the car door and agilely put on the suit. He then took out an umbrella from the trunk, extinguished the cigarette by stepping on it, and headed in the direction of Liang Mulan and Lin Nuan.
Liang Mulan smiled when she saw Lin Chen’s upright and slender figure coming over in the drizzle from afar. She said to Lin Nuan in a soft voice, “If there are suitable ladies around you, remember to tell your brother about them… Our family doesn’t mind one’s family status or background!”
Liang Mulan pat Lin Nuan’s arm, which was still hung around hers, then gripped her cold fingertips tightly to warm up her hand.
“Didn’t you say earlier that you’d leave it to fate?” Lin Nuan couldn’t help but laugh.
“Yes, leave it to fate. They can meet, and if it’s fated to be, then they can continue to develop their relationship. If not, then forget it. There’s no need to force it…”
Lin Chen was mature, reliable, handsome, and rich. A man like this was the Prince Charming to countless girls!
There was no lack of people who liked Lin Chen. It was just that someone was already living in Lin Chen’s heart, so no one else could enter.
