  There was already a car waiting outside the airport.

  The chauffeur was a dark-skinned man, and he opened the car door for them gentlemanly, greeting them with awkward mandarin. However, his smile was heartfelt. He looked very cute, especially when he revealed his row of white teeth.

  Lin Nuan smiled, nodded at the chauffeur, and entered the car.

  The car drove all the way to Jumeirah Frond P Villa. Seeing Lin Nuan’s surprised expression, Fu Huai’an patiently explained, “This villa belongs to my friend and is often vacant, with no one living in it. He knew that we were coming to Dubai and thus let us stay here. He’s too passionate, so it was hard to reject his offer.”


  Lin Nuan had never been clear about Fu Huai’an’s net worth and had never thought of asking him.

  Today, it had first been the private jet followed by the Jumeirah Frond P Villa. Lin Nuan had truly been shocked.

  Tuan Tuan had been sleeping for the entire journey and hadn’t woken up. After settling him down in a room, Fu Huai’an brought Lin Nuan around the villa.

  Lin Nuan saw that there were a variety of guns hung up on the walls in the room in the basement. She turned and asked Fu Huai’an, “Are those real guns?”


  Fu Huai’an had one of his hands holding Lin Nuan’s and the other in his pocket. He asked Lin Nuan, “Are you interested?”


  After nodding, Lin Nuan said, “When I watched movies in the past, I always felt that the male leads’ cool and composed bearing was especially cool when they held a gun with one hand, had the other in their pocket, and fired the gun…”


  Lin Nuan gestured an action of holding up a gun and saw Fu Huai’an’s deep eyes looking at her with interest. Lin Nuan bit her lower lip, feeling embarrassed.

  “Are my actions repulsive?” Lin Nuan asked.

  After all, Fu Huai’an was a professional, so she was showing off in front of an expert.

  “Come…” Fu Huai’an took Lin Nuan’s small hand and entered the elevator, heading down to the room on the lowest floor.

  The moment the elevator’s doors opened, an indoor shooting range appeared before their eyes…


  Lin Nuan was even more surprised. She hadn’t expected that such a huge indoor shooting range was hidden under a villa like this. The moment the elevator doors opened, the sensors for the six shooting lanes were activated, and they lit up.

  Did the relevant departments not care about people building private shooting ranges in their homes?

  Seeing that Lin Nuan was stunned, Fu Huai’an gently pulled her to his side and exited the elevator.

  There were all sorts of pistols placed in the glass cabinets. However, all of the guns were disassembled, and the corresponding drawers at the bottom should be filled with the proper bullets.

  Fu Huai’an chose a smaller PPK handgun that was more suitable for Lin Nuan. He took out the tray with the PPK parts from the cabinet, bringing out a few clips while he was at it, and walked up to the shooting lane.

  A PPK’s recoil was weaker and more suitable for Lin Nuan.

  Lin Nuan was like a curious elementary school student, following closely behind Fu Huai’an with glimmering eyes.

  Fu Huai’an placed the tray on the shooting window and assembled the gun with agile movements. Lin Nuan’s gaze was fixed as she looked at Fu Huai’an’s slender and long fingers, which had distinct joints, assembling the gun rapidly. He pushed the clip in with his palm, and Lin Nuan subconsciously plugged her ears and took a step back.

  Fu Huai’an lifted the gun with one hand and aimed at the target, his other hand in his pocket. His actions were very smooth and completed in one go…


  Lin Nuan took another step back, thinking that Fu Huai’an was going to shoot. However, Fu Huai’an turned his head and asked Lin Nuan, “Who is cooler?”


  Seeing Fu Huai’an’s lips opening and closing, Lin Nuan removed the fingers that were plugging her ears and asked, “What?”


  “Am I cooler, or is the male lead in the television drama you watched cooler?” Fu Huai’an asked.

  Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

  After all this, it turned out that the reason Fu Huai’an had brought her here was so that he could act cool and not so he could show off his shooting skills to her!

  “Who is cooler?” Fu Huai’an asked again.

  Lin Nuan couldn’t go against her conscience. Putting aside Fu Huai’an’s action of holding the gun, just his earlier actions of assembling the gun smoothly had already caused her heart to flutter because he looked incredibly cool. How could an actor compare to that?

  “You’re cooler!” Lin Nuan grinned and replied earnestly.

  Clearly, Fu Huai’an was pleased with Lin Nuan’s “You’re cooler.” He put down the gun, took a close look at it, loaded the firearm, and beckoned toward Lin Nuan. “Come over here…”


  Lin Nuan walked up to Fu Huai’an and was pulled into his embrace by her wrist.

  Lin Nuan felt a little nervous as her back came into contact with Fu Huai’an’s strong and sturdy chest.

  Fu Huai’an’s big hands supported Lin Nuan’s small hands. He told her to hold onto the gun with both hands and guided her on the main points and basic operation. He then placed Lin Nuan’s index finger onto the trigger, causing her to withdraw her finger in fright.

  “Weren’t you fearless when you kept on pulling the trigger crazily at me with your eyes closed in Iraq previously? Hmmm?”


  His deep and alluring voice rang out next to Lin Nuan’s ear with great enticement, causing her ears to feel itchy and become flush.

  “It was a life or death moment back then! How can it be compared to now?”


  There seemed to be fury in Lin Nuan’s words, but Fu Huai’an just smiled and put on protective goggles and earmuffs for Lin Nuan. He then bent over and put his cheeks close to Lin Nuan’s earmuffs, guiding her index finger back onto the trigger…


  Lin Nuan was a little nervous, and she kept on staring in front.

  Fu Huai’an guided Lin Nuan to pull the trigger.

  “Bang—”


  Lin Nuan’s heartbeat became exceptionally fast. This was the first time she had fired a gun in her life. Although it was with Fu Huai’an’s hands-on guidance, it was still her first time at it!

  Although the handgun didn’t seem big, Lin Nuan’s wrist was shaken from the recoil, and it turned a little numb since she had never truly fired a gun before.

  An Arabic number nine appeared on the screen. Nine points!

  Lin Nuan was a little agitated and turned to look at Fu Huai’an excitedly.

  Fu Huai’an couldn’t hold back his smile when he saw how happy Lin Nuan was. Such a small achievement was able to make her so happy?

  Fu Huai’an guided Lin Nuan to finish the seven bullets in the clip. Lin Nuan took off the earmuffs and appeared especially happy as she looked at Fu Huai’an. “They are all nine points!”


  “If you like it, when we go back, I can take you to the shooting range often.” Fu Huai’an raised his hand and tucked Lin Nuan’s stray hair, which had been messed up by the earmuffs, behind her ears. “I’ll teach you how to use a gun.”


  Lin Nuan nodded and smiled brightly. “Okay!”


  Lin Nuan could still remember the first time she met Fu Huai’an…


  Thankfully, Lin Nuan still didn’t know how to use a gun back then. Otherwise, she would have hit Fu Huai’an with how crazily she had fired.

  Before she had even taken off her goggles, Lin Nuan looked at Fu Huai’an and pounced into his embrace.

  Fu Huai’an wrapped his arms around Lin Nuan’s shoulders and gripped her gently. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on the crown of her head.

  He thought that Lin Nuan was happy that she’d be able to go to the shooting range in the future.

  However… Lin Nuan was feeling thankful.

  She was thankful that she didn’t know how to fire a gun in the past. Just the thought of her firing a gun and hitting Fu Huai’an caused her heart to ache.

  Fu Huai’an kissed the crown of Lin Nuan’s head like a young lad who was anxious to please the girl he liked. He asked in a soft voice, “Do you want to watch a movie?”


  Lin Nuan raised her head and looked at Fu Huai’an. “Are we going out to watch? I’m not that good with Arabic.”


  Lin Nuan hadn’t forgotten that the people in Dubai spoke Arabic. She felt strangely nervous upon hearing that she was going out with Fu Huai’an to watch a movie.
