Fu Huai’an glanced at Lin Nuan’s reddened face, his eyes full of laughter. “I thought you had enough patience not to ask!”


  Lin Nuan’s ears heated up at Fu Huai’an’s words, and she turned back to look in front, holding back her curiosity. But a few minutes later, she turned to look at Fu Huai’an again. She opened her mouth but didn’t say a word…


  Fu Huai’an noticed Lin Nuan’s little movements out of the corner of his eye. The expression in his eyes was warm. “There’s no place in the city to prepare such a colossal proposal present for you!”


  Fu Huai’an flipped on the turn signal as he spoke.

  In front of them was a narrow two-way street. It seemed to be newly paved and had been rinsed clean by last night’s rain.

  There were London plane trees planted on either side of the street. In this weather, the leaves of the plane trees had already turned a golden color, and there were fallen leaves on both sides of the road. The sight was as beautiful as an oil painting.

  Her heart started to thump.

  At the end of the street, Lin Nuan could vaguely make out a massive black iron gate…


  Lin Nuan asked Fu Huai’an, “What is this?”


  Rays of sunlight shone through layers of plane tree leaves and the windscreen. Fu Huai’an drove the car very slowly, and Lin Nuan could hear the crunch of the fallen leaves as the tires rolled past them. The golden spots swept across Fu Huai’an’s arched brows, but their warmth remained in his deep-set eyes.

  His lips parted to say, “The home I’m giving you.”


  These five words were neither light nor heavy. They passed through Lin Nuan’s eardrums and landed on her heart like feathers. It was as if the fallen leaves had touched water, creating warm ripples.

  The huge black iron gate slowly opened. As Fu Huai’an’s car drove into the manor, Lin Nuan saw that the door plate on the right had “Fu Residence” written on it.

  There were grass fields and a rectangular fountain on both sides of the path to the manor. The structure in the distance that entered their line of sight was similar in architectural style to Chatsworth House, yet the two were vastly different. It was as if the styles of Chinese and European architecture had been perfectly blended into one. Nanshan was just behind the structure.

  Lin Nuan’s lips parted slightly. She loved the architecture in “Pride and Prejudice” ever since she watched the movie when she was younger…


  But she’d only ever seen them in drawings. In the past, whenever she planned to see them in England, she’d always be tied down by this or that. And after her experience in Venice, she never wanted to travel overseas again!

  This was their home?

  Lin Nuan was delighted yet bewildered. She was going to live there with Fu Huai’an and Tuan Tuan?

  Her heart had never beat faster for a building before. This was the first time.

  “When I got someone to check your background in America, I saw the video of you taking part in the Haicheng Middle School Public Speaking Competition when you were 14. In your speech, you mentioned that you liked Chatsworth House, which was the setting for “Pride and Prejudice”. When I brought Tuan Tuan back to China a few years ago, I chanced upon a similar manor being put up for sale. After I bought the estate, I got Ji Zibai’s friend to completely redesign and renovate it, as well as restore the exterior. They just completed everything a few days ago! So I didn’t get the chance to give this to you when we collected our marriage certificate.”


  Lin Nuan could only hear the beating of her own heart.

  Fu Huai’an drove down a lane surrounded by water on both sides. After going around the oversized fountain in the middle, he stopped the car at the entrance to the manor.

  Fu Huai’an unfastened his seatbelt, then turned to Lin Nuan and asked, “Do you want to go in and see?”


  There was a thin layer of sweat on Lin Nuan’s palms. She unfastened her seatbelt and asked softly, “The three of us are going to live in such a big manor?”


  “Apart from the security guards, everyone else is on leave. We’re the only two people in the manor today!” Fu Huai’an opened the door to the driver’s seat.

  Lin Nuan stepped out of the car after him.

  The cool breeze blew, and Lin Nuan wrapped her jacket around her body more tightly. Her long hair was blown in all directions, and there were a few wisps of hair stuck on her lips.

  Lin Nuan narrowed her eyes and tucked her hair behind her ears.

  Fu Huai’an walked around the car and reached out for Lin Nuan’s hand. Together, they walked up the steps.

  Lin Nuan was one step behind Fu Huai’an. She was jumping for joy as she turned to look into the full-length window. Half of the main hall was covered in the golden sunlight, giving the impression that even if cold winds were blowing outside, it would be warm inside…


  As they walked up the steps, Fu Huai’an pulled Lin Nuan over to his side and held onto her shoulders. He then pushed her towards the two brass doors.

  As Fu Huai’an grabbed onto Lin Nuan’s slender shoulders, his eyes landed on her fair ears, which were heating up. He bent down to press his lips onto her ear, saying, “Open the doors, baby…”


  Lin Nuan’s body tensed up. Fu Huai’an must have done it on purpose. Every time Fu Huai’an made love to her, he liked to use his deep and magnetic voice to call her “baby”. Adding on the fact that her ears were the most sensitive part of her body, he was essentially teasing her!

  Fu Huai’an was so naughty!

  Lin Nuan’s palms grew even more sweaty as she reached out to push open the doors…


  Lin Nuan paused.

  The inside of the manor was… different from what she expected.

  She thought the inside of the manor would look as mature and elegant as the outside. She didn’t think that once she opened the doors and the warm air caressed her face, she would be greeted by a pink world!

  There were adorable pink Angry Birds on the curtains, the carpet on the staircase, and every step. There were also pink ribbons wrapped around the staircase railings, which had pink balloons tied to them. The ceiling was covered with pink balloons as well.

  There was no furniture in the house. There were only dolls of numerous sizes and in various shades of pink. It was an adorable pink world.

  Fu Huai’an closed the doors, took off his jacket, and casually placed it on the coat rack by the door. He pressed his chest against Lin Nuan’s back and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, saying softly, “I once had a dream where I brought my wife to our home and transformed it into a pink world for her!”


  As Fu Huai’an spoke, he slowly led Lin Nuan towards the living room. Lin Nuan followed Fu Huai’an and turned to the right… As she breathed in, she could vaguely smell the scent of fresh flowers. She looked down… Her white sneakers had stepped on a pink rose petal.

  There was a Christmas tree in the living room, which was decorated with golden, sparkling lights and various candies.

  Beside the Christmas tree… there was a huge pink bunny plush. Lin Nuan had to crane her neck to see it!

  Underneath the emerald green Christmas tree was a sea of pink roses that nearly covered the whole living room.

  Lin Nuan’s heart thumped. She felt like she’d seen all of this somewhere before…


  Fu Huai’an’s deep and magnetic voice rang beside Lin Nuan’s ears once again. “There was a huge bunny plush taller than a Christmas tree in the living room. She had to crane her neck to see it. The Christmas tree and huge bunny were surrounded by a house full of pink roses. She thought she was in a dream. A childish dream, yes, but she couldn’t help but feel choked up with emotions.”


  As Fu Huai’an spoke, he let go of Lin Nuan’s slender waist. Lin Nuan turned to look at Fu Huai’an, only to see him getting down on one knee in front of her. “In that dream, I got down on one knee among the sea of roses and proposed to her with a candy diamond ring…”


  It was as if something had exploded in Lin Nuan’s mind. She suddenly understood everything!

  Her heart and eyes were suddenly filled with warmth. She clasped a hand over her mouth, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she nearly laughed. “You read my diary!”


  Fu Huai’an couldn’t hold back his smile, and he raised his head to laugh along with Lin Nuan.

  Lin Nuan had never heard Fu Huai’an laugh like that before. He had always been very mature and rarely smiled. It was the first time she heard Fu Huai’an laugh with her like that. Her nose began to sting, and although she laughed heartily, her tears rolled down her cheeks continuously.

  “My wife was moved and agreed to my proposal! Even though it was only a candy diamond ring…”


  Lin Nuan nodded. She was so moved that she couldn’t make a sound. Her black eyes brimmed with tears. As she nodded, she clasped both of her hands over her mouth, as though she feared she would start crying if she let go.

  Fu Huai’an reached out for Lin Nuan’s hand. “Your hand…”


  Lin Nuan quickly stretched out her hand towards Fu Huai’an. The candy diamond ring had some weight to it when placed on Lin Nuan’s finger.

  In the diary, Lin Nuan wrote this at the end…


  “I agreed to the man’s proposal while feeling touched. Although I couldn’t see the man’s features clearly in my dream, I know that he’s not Brother Moshen. Nevertheless, my heart couldn’t stop thumping! I thought I would forget this dream, just like I did with other dreams, but when I woke up, the thumping of my heart and the setting in the dream were as clear as day!

  I described my dream to Mama. She said it’s a prediction, and the man in my dream that made my heart thump is my future husband. I would definitely find the love of my life.

  If it’s really as Mama says, and the dream was a prediction, is my future husband really not Brother Moshen?”


  Liang Mulan didn’t lie to her!

  Fu Huai’an was only able to do all of this because he’d looked at her diary! But… her future husband, the love of her life, was indeed not Wen Moshen!

  Fu Huai’an stood up, and Lin Nuan threw herself into his arms with so much force that he had to take a step back to steady himself.

  “When… when did you read my diary?” Lin Nuan buried her face in Fu Huai’an’s chest and choked up.

  Fu Huai’an held Lin Nuan’s face in one hand, his thumb unable to stop wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes. “The day that I helped you pack up in the rental apartment, the diary dropped onto the floor and broke open by itself…”


  “So fate decided that you were my husband, the love of my life?” Lin Nuan smiled as tears rolled down her cheeks continuously.

  Fu Huai’an gazed at her fair face, gently smiling and not saying a word.

  “Huai’an, why are you so nice to me?” Lin Nuan’s voice was very nasally. “So nice that I don’t even want to let go of your hand in the next life!”


  “En!” Fu Huai’an lowered his head, and his lips ghosted over hers. “Then, don’t let go!”


  The searing kiss was so anxious that it caused Lin Nuan to panic…


  She tilted her head up and parted her lips, allowing Fu Huai’an to abuse her mouth as he pleased!

  Fu Huai’an embraced the woman in his arms as he lowered his head obediently…


  Fu Huai’an’s mature and masculine scent filled her lungs, making her spellbound.

  “Go upstairs!” Fu Huai’an said in a raspy voice while catching his breath, “Let’s fulfill your little dream! I promised you I would make it happen!”


  Fu Huai’an kissed her again and hugged her slender waist tightly with one hand, then turned to lead her up the stairs. The journey was hard, and his footsteps were messy.

  Lin Nuan’s cheeks were warm and flushed red as though she was drunk.

  There was no one else in the manor, so Lin Nuan threw all caution to the wind. She started to remove Fu Huai’an’s belt and pull out the ends of his shirt from his trousers…


  Lin Nuan hurriedly apologized, “Sorry…”


  After she finished speaking, Lin Nuan looked down at Fu Huai’an’s belt buckle. She was then kissed again…


  Fu Huai’an forcefully grabbed Lin Nuan’s hand. Her gaze was unfocused as she looked up at him blankly.

  Lin Nuan’s face heated up even more. “S-Sorry!”


  Fu Huai’an let go of Lin Nuan’s hand, which nearly unbuttoned his trousers, and continued to kiss her…


  As she moved, Lin Nuan heard the sound of Fu Huai’an’s belt buckle. In her flustered state, she stepped on a plush toy and lost her balance. The world spun, and the two of them fell on the stairs, with Lin Nuan falling on top of Fu Huai’an.

  “Mmm…”


  Lin Nuan’s shocked yelps were completely swallowed by Fu Huai’an!

  Fu Huai’an broke their fall by supporting Lin Nuan with one hand and holding himself up against the steps with the other. But both of their mouths inevitably started bleeding.

  Lin Nuan was shocked. Her hands pushed against Fu Huai’an’s chest as she hurriedly tried to get up, but Fu Huai’an didn’t let go of her slender waist.

  Her face was as red as a tomato as she looked up at Fu Huai’an’s handsome features with slightly trembling eyes. Her mouth was filled with the taste of blood, but she didn’t feel any pain…


  “Are you alright?” Lin Nuan’s voice was as tiny as a mosquito. She looked at Fu Huai’an with a startled expression, and her worried eyes trembled slightly.

  Fu Huai’an relaxed his body and sat on the steps. Holding himself up with his elbow, he used his thumb to wipe away the blinding red on his lips. His lip started to bleed again, and he tasted blood as he licked his lips. He looked at Lin Nuan with a hint of a smile in his deep eyes. “You really want to do it on the staircase?”


  Lin Nuan bit her lip, which was red from the kissing. “I didn’t mean to do that…”


  If the person Lin Nuan fell on wasn’t Fu Huai’an, his waist… would have been sacrificed on this staircase.

  Fu Huai’an propped himself up against the steps with his hands as he brought his handsome and cold features closer to Lin Nuan. He embraced her as he started to kiss away the blood on the corner of her lips…


  Lin Nuan lowered her eyes, her expression bashful. Her hands, which were placed on Fu Huai’an’s chest, curled up and grabbed at his shirt. She then seemingly mustered up the courage to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss it.

  Her forehead pressed against the side of Fu Huai’an’s face, and she asked, “You want to do it on the staircase?”


  Fu Huai’an tightened his hold on Lin Nuan’s hand. “Mrs. Fu is becoming more and more daring!”


  Lin Nuan’s delicate and petite face heated up furiously, but she mustered the courage to look up. Her glistening eyes were like black diamonds, and her gaze towards Fu Huai’an was bright and clear, but at the same time, enchantingly alluring. She asked, “Well, do you like it?”


  Her arms, which were so slender that they seemed like they would break with one snap, wrapped around Fu Huai’an’s neck. She kissed him passionately and bit Fu Huai’an’s lip, then said in a low voice, “Hm, Sir Fu?”


  Fu Huai’an’s eyes darkened so much that it was terrifying, and it sent a chill down Lin Nuan’s spine. But she didn’t run away.

  Despite her fingers shaking, her right hand, which was wrapped around Fu Huai’an’s neck, trailed along the stiff collar of his shirt and stopped below his sexy Adam’s apple. She proceeded to unbutton his shirt.

  Fu Huai’an’s Adam’s apple bobbed furiously. He grabbed Lin Nuan’s hand and pulled away from her lips, then said in a deep voice, “Let’s go to the bedroom!”


  Lin Nuan looked into Fu Huai’an’s eyes earnestly. “I’m not afraid! As long as you’re willing…”


  Although the steps were carpeted, the plush toys on top of them were enough to make Lin Nuan panic. If she were to do it there with Fu Huai’an, she’d probably lose half her life by the end of it.

  Their eyes met, which caused Lin Nuan’s heart to beat so quickly that she couldn’t take it.

  Her breathing quickened as she uncomfortably used her elbow to hold herself up. She then tilted her head up to kiss Fu Huai’an. Her thick and lustrous hair spread out onto the steps below, making her face appear even more bewitching.

  “You’re really not scared?” Fu Huai’an wanted to lift her up bridal style from the steps.

  Lin Nuan, however, forcefully hooked her arm around Fu Huai’an’s neck to stop him from doing so. Her hand moved to unbutton Fu Huai’an’s shirt. “As long as it’s with you, I’d do it anywhere…”


  Lin Nuan kissed Fu Huai’an, and he grabbed onto the plush toys tightly.

  She knew that Fu Huai’an liked this!

  Fu Huai’an had always taken Lin Nuan’s happiness to heart. She was also willing to change to accommodate his desires…


  Fu Huai’an had never dreamed of Lin Nuan taking so much initiative, but he couldn’t refuse it.

  …


  When Lin Nuan woke up, she was lying on dark blue silk bed sheets.

  It was very warm in the room, so the silk bed sheets that covered Lin Nuan… had mostly slipped off the bed along her smooth back. Her nicely curved shoulders and back lay underneath her long dark hair.

  Her long fingers beside her face twitched, and her eyelashes moved.

  She opened her eyes.

  She propped herself up and turned. Fu Huai’an was nowhere to be seen…


  The pale orange light shone through the clear full-length window, bathing the floors and walls in a tea-like glow.

  It was probably afternoon by now.

  Lin Nuan got up with much difficulty. Her body was so sore that she just wanted to take a shower.

  When she moved her body, she couldn’t even stand on her feet.

  She sat by the bed and was too lazy to even lift an arm to grab her clothes. She called out, “Huai’an…”


  Lin Nuan’s voice was hoarse.

  She pursed her lips.

  Her phone was still in the car, so there was no way to call Fu Huai’an.

  Lin Nuan felt that she was going to be hollowed out today!

  Her body had never felt so weak before.

  After some time, she still hadn’t seen Fu Huai’an, and she began to panic. She held onto the bed as she got up. Not wanting to walk out of the room naked, she looked at Fu Huai’an’s shirt on the edge of the bed.

  Lin Nuan walked along the bed, placing a hand on it to support herself as she put on Fu Huai’an’s shirt. Her bare feet stepped on the plush carpet. The feeling was as though she was stepping on cotton, and it made her knees go weak. She slowly walked to the door and held onto the door frame as she opened it. She saw Fu Huai’an in a robe, about to walk into the room.

  He saw Lin Nuan wearing his shirt. It was way too big on her, such that her whole body was covered. Only her fair and slim legs were exposed.

  Lin Nuan looked as alluring as a magnificent rose blooming at midnight. Her whole body had a captivating fragrance to it.

  “Where did you go?” Lin Nuan asked in a hoarse voice, as though his absence had inconvenienced her.
