Lu Jinnan looked in front as he tried to figure out where the sound was coming from. Eventually, he saw Lin Nuan sitting on a bench to the right. She had a coat draped over her shoulders, and her left arm, which was weakly hanging in front of her chest, was wrapped in white gauze. The bloodstains on her dusty pink blouse were frightening.

  Lu Jinnan quickly walked towards Lin Nuan. His handsome features tensed up, and he tightly gripped the handles of the paper bag with the clothes in it.

  She raised her head and saw anger in Lu Jinnan’s eyes as he stood in front of her. She glanced at the bag in his hand and asked, “Is that for me?”


  He glanced around and saw no sign of You Nainai, so he asked, “Where’s You Nainai?”


  Lin Nuan pointed behind Lu Jinnan. You Nainai walked over from the water cooler with a disposable cup in her hand.

  As Lu Jinnan passed Lin Nuan the clean clothes he brought for her, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Old Fu just left, and you’ve already injured yourself…”


  You Nainai gave Lin Nuan the cup of hot water and summarized what happened at the agency to Lu Jinnan. Lu Jinnan was a man too. After hearing that Fang Yan’s husband brought his mother to the agency and that the two of them acted shamelessly, he said, “I’ll get someone to take care of this!”


  Lu Jinnan returned after making a call. Lin Nuan had already changed and was sitting in the same spot as earlier, sipping the cup of water in her hands.

  Lin Nuan saw that Lu Jinnan had walked over to her and said to him, “Don’t tell Huai’an about this. I don’t want him to worry.”


  Lu Jinnan paused for a moment and sat down beside Lin Nuan before saying, “You should have convinced Old Fu to stay and not go to Dubai! You may not understand how dangerous this is…”


  Lu Jinnan didn’t blame Lin Nuan. He merely spoke to her simply and straightforwardly and was somewhat worried.

  She looked at Lu Jinnan and smiled at him as she attempted to deceive herself and him. “He’s just sending Qin Zhe over. He’ll be fine!”


  “But so long as the army or those people are involved, there’ll always be danger!” Lu Jinnan propped his elbow on his knee and looked at Lin Nuan seriously. “Old Fu’s worried that if he gets us involved, people will look for Qingcheng to settle things, so he only asked that comrade of his to provide him with intelligence. But think about it, based on that person’s abilities alone, can he really escape unscathed? What if he’s captured alive? What if he ends up dead, but people recognize him? Old Fu saved him in the past! If he gets caught, won’t people want to settle things with Old Fu, who just happens to be in Dubai?”


  Did Lin Nuan really not think of those things?

  If Lin Nuan hadn’t thought of all of that, she wouldn’t have tried so hard to make Fu Huai’an stay. She wouldn’t have such a great desire to become strong and not become a burden to Fu Huai’an after he left!

  Lu Jinnan looked at Lin Nuan’s pale face and tried to speak as calmly as possible. “I’m not blaming you! I know you love Old Fu very much. I just hope… that you’ll try to dissuade him the next time he wants to put himself in danger like this! Old Fu may not listen to me, but you… Old Fu will definitely listen to you!”


  Lu Jinnan didn’t forget how Fu Huai’an once said that so long as Lin Nuan’s love for him was one-tenth of her love for Wen Moshen, his life would be hers!

  Lin Nuan smiled slowly. There seemed to be sadness and weakness in her eyes. “I tried my best to stop Huai’an from going to Dubai, but he still went in the end…”


  Lu Jinnan was stunned for a moment.

  He had just said that Fu Huai’an would definitely listen to Lin Nuan…


  Lu Jinnan didn’t think that Lin Nuan had already tried to stop Fu Huai’an. There was a long silence between the two, as he didn’t know what to say. Lu Jinnan watched as tears formed in Lin Nuan’s clear eyes, and her lips trembled slightly.

  Lin Nuan had tried all ways and means to stop him, and she was at her wits’ end!

  Under Lu Jinnan’s gaze, Lin Nuan got up, walked over to a trash can, and threw the disposable cup away. She pulled at the coat that was falling from her shoulders with one hand and pulled out a tissue from its pocket to wipe her tears. After she calmed down, she asked Lu Jinnan, “I’m going up to visit Song Yao. Xiao Bai’s here as well. Do you want to come?”


  “No thanks…” Lu Jinnan replied.

  Lin Nuan nodded and threw away the tissue. She then thanked Lu Jinnan before walking over to the lobby with You Nainai and going up to visit Song Yao.

  Song Yao was shocked to see Lin Nuan injured. Her brows furrowed tightly, and her face tensed up. “Was it that Li Muyang…”


  Lin Nuan shook her head. “Something happened at the agency today. It was just a small accident!”


  Lin Nuan didn’t want to make Fang Yan’s personal matters public.

  “I saw the news. Your Mr. Fu is on a business trip to Dubai? Why didn’t you go along with him?” Song Yao asked.

  Bai Xiaonian had heard Lu Jinnan talk about what happened to Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an in Dubai. She didn’t want Lin Nuan to recall bad memories, so she poured a glass of water for her as she tried to change the subject. “My leg has only just healed, Song Yao just had an operation on her head, and now your arm is stitched up. It’s like we’re going through hardship together! You two are really my best friends!”


  Song Yao rolled her eyes at Bai Xiaonian and tried to hold back her laughter as she said, “Who wants to go through hardship with you…”


  The phone rang before Bai Xiaonian could respond. She frowned as she glanced at the phone. “It’s my dad. I’ll take the call outside!”


  Bai Xiaonian answered the call and walked out of the VIP ward.

  You Nainai had been standing guard at the door the whole time, leaving only Song Yao and Lin Nuan in the room. Song Yao had the chance to talk to Lin Nuan about Cen Mo. “Nuan, this time, Cen Mo and Li Muyang… Don’t hold it against Cen Mo! Li Muyang hoped that after stealing you away during your wedding, Cen Mo would help make it more convenient for him to return to America! Cen Mo wanted a business line from Li Muyang in exchange! He didn’t have any direct conflict of interest with you and Fu Huai’an, and he didn’t really want to hurt you either…”


  Lin Nuan held onto Song Yao’s hand and smiled. She didn’t say a word.

  “Did you see the wedding present I sent on behalf of Cen Mo?” Song Yao changed the subject.

  Lin Nuan nodded. “But I haven’t had the time to open it. A present from you… I don’t think it’s as silly as Bai Xiaonian’s, right?”


  Song Yao smiled. “Trust me, you’re going to like it!”


  The door to the ward was pushed open. Bai Xiaonian was frowning as she entered the room.

  Bai Xiaonian’s father had called earlier. He told Bai Xiaonian to return home earlier as he had invited Lu Jinnan’s father and his family over. He said it would be their last get-together before Bai Xiaonian went overseas.

  Get-together her foot!

  Inviting her ex-ex-boyfriend Lu Jinbei, her ex-boyfriend Lu Jinnan, and their father to the Bai household all at the same time—what the hell was this?

  Wouldn’t it be awkward?

  Bai Xiaonian’s father barked at Bai Xiaonian over the phone and told her that she had to come back. Bai Xiaonian roared back at him that she would never go back!

  Who knew that Bai Xiaonian’s father would threaten not to take his medication that night!

  Lin Nuan and Song Yao gritted their teeth when Bai Xiaonian recounted this to them. She grabbed her bag and prepared to leave. “I’m leaving!”


  “So anxious to go back and see Lu Jinnan?” Song Yao teased Bai Xiaonian.
