Chapter 622: Had to Be Powerful
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Outside the windows, two wild cats were arching their backs, revealing their teeth at each other, as if they were about to launch an attack at any moment.
Suddenly woken up, Lin Nuan’s heart was beating particularly fast. Her head was throbbing along with her heart, and a fiery sensation in her throat was making her feel terrible.
Lin Nuan’s legs, which were curled up on the one-seater sofa, had gone numb, and her neck also felt so stiff that it ached…
She felt for her slippers on the ground, wanting to go to the kitchen for some water, but the room was pitch-black and quiet. Lin Nuan felt it was a little sinister as her toes touched the slippers. She retracted her legs, covering them and her feet with her skirt, attempting to make her legs feel warmer.
In the darkness, Lin Nuan couldn’t clearly see the time on the clock on the wall, so she could only stare fixedly at the door.
Her head increasingly painful and dizzy, Lin Nuan could take it no more; she slanted her head sideways to lean on the sofa, thinking she would just snooze for a short while before waking up to wait for Fu Huai’an. But she ended up falling asleep.
The door to the apartment quietly opened, and a tall and broad figure walked in…
As the door opened, the bright lights from the corridor entered the room and shone upon Lin Nuan’s slippers while she was curled up asleep on the sofa.
Fu Huai’an was wearing a black sweater with a high collar and a black cashmere coat as he arrived at the door, exuding an air of nobility and maturity. His cold and handsome features appeared thin due to an inability to rest these past few days. Red blood vessels were visible in his deep and sharp eyes, and he looked worn out by the journey.
Upon seeing Lin Nuan’s exquisite and petite features… upon seeing her safe and sound before his eyes, quietly sleeping on the sofa, the chilliness in Fu Huai’an’s eyes was dissipated by gentleness, his reddened eyes a little swollen now.
He closed the door and removed his coat, casually placing it on the back of the sofa. The little woman curled up on the sofa stirred, her eyelashes that resembled butterflies spreading their wings fluttered, seeming as if she was about to wake up. But ultimately, she couldn’t beat her fatigue and fell back asleep.
Fu Huai’an propped himself up with both hands on the sofa as he bent over to plant a kiss between Lin Nuan’s eyebrows.
He closed his eyes, feeling a mild pain after his heart was put to ease. All this time, when she was taken away by Li Muyang, she should have been petrified, right?
He sat down close to Lin Nuan and hugged her, his large hand grabbing her revealed ankle. The fair and tender foot felt cold; under Fu Huai’an’s warm and large hand, Lin Nuan, who was sound asleep, vaguely felt a temperature spread through her entire body.
Fu Huai’an carefully let Lin Nuan lean against his chest, then kissed her long hair repeatedly, as if he was extremely lucky to have recovered a lost treasure. He greedily sniffed the familiar scent and fragrance from her hair.
With the source of warmth edging closer, Lin Nuan, who felt cold throughout, subconsciously buried her head into Fu Huai’an’s chest, her nostrils filled with the familiar and reassuring masculine scent of a mature man. Her nerves gradually eased while she was asleep, and her brows unfurrowed.
Before seeing Lin Nuan, Fu Huai’an was highly tense, his brain constantly repeating the thought of what he would do if something were to happen to Lin Nuan!
Now that he saw Lin Nuan safe and sound, that worry eased, and he felt fear!
At this moment, his feelings were probably the same as Lin Nuan’s when she thought he had gotten into an accident in Dubai!
Fu Huai’an’s eyes felt stung and swollen. He thought that since You Nainai was following Lin Nuan, and since Lin Nuan was just by his side, he would certainly be able to protect Lin Nuan, but he still ended up letting her suffer.
Even though Lin Nuan had experienced Iraq, experienced war, the world that Fu Huai’an was once in was foreign to her. She would be scared, wouldn’t she?
The year before Fu Huai’an brought Tuan Tuan back from overseas, he had suffered a major injury and was unconscious for three months.
In a span of three months, Gu Qingcheng had taken over all of Fu Huai’an’s business as the representative of Mr. Moral.
Lu Jinnan said that this was a decision reached by Tang Zheng, Lu Jinnan, and Gu Qingcheng collectively while he was unconscious.
There was no need to talk about Lu Jinnan. Ever since he got out of prison, Fu Huai’an had never let him touch any dangerous business…
At that time, Fu Huai’an had arranged for Tang Zheng to escape from that mud pool and was in the midst of making arrangements for Gu Qingcheng. Because Gu Qingcheng helped Fu Huai’an with a majority of his business, too many people had seen Gu Qingcheng, so it was harder making arrangements for him.
The only person Fu Huai’an didn’t make plans and arrangements for was himself.
Fu Huai’an had known that it would be troublesome. Once someone was in… there weren’t many that had a good ending! Therefore, he didn’t have the intention to get out of it once he was in. He had his ambitions, powerful ambitions.
Furthermore, in order to protect Lu Jinnan, Tang Zheng, and Gu Qingcheng from harm, Fu Huai’an needed to be bound to that position forever; he had to be powerful…
So powerful that others wouldn’t be able to trace anything to Lu Jinnan and gang, so powerful that even if they managed to trace it to them, others would fear Fu Huai’an and not dare to lay a finger on them.
But when Fu Huai’an got into that accident, after talking, Gu Qingcheng, Lu Jinnan, and Tang Zheng decided to push out a person to take over Fu Huai’an’s position, because they knew very well the reason Fu Huai’an couldn’t extract himself from this!
They hoped Fu Huai’an could stay away from these dangers!
Gu Qingcheng smoked a pack of cigarettes, then took the liberty of standing before Fu Huai’an.
He said that he had always been tending to Fu Huai’an’s business, and there were plenty of people who knew him, so he was the most suitable candidate.
Since Gu Qingcheng completely became Mr. Moral’s representative, Fu Huai’an truly extracted himself from that bloody life. These past few years, he had lived peacefully, and the only thing that piqued Fu Huai’an’s interest was the Kaide Corporation…
All these years, Fu Huai’an invested his energy and career ambitions into the Kaide Corporation, aiming to make it one of the top corporations in the country.
Having lived in peace for too long, one could easily forget about danger.
Fu Huai’an recalled what Lu Jinnan had asked him before he left for America last minute—Lu Jinnan asked Fu Huai’an if he regretted saving Qin Zhe; if he hadn’t done so, Lin Nuan likely wouldn’t have suffered this time around.
Fu Huai’an was a person who had loyalty carved into his bones, so even if he had to choose again, Fu Huai’an would still save Qin Zhe!
But if he were to relive this incident, he would surely have protected Lin Nuan well and not been careless because she was right by his side, like he did this time.
Fu Huai’an blamed himself. He hugged Lin Nuan tightly, and only after a long while did he carry her into the bedroom horizontally.
Not sure which was the master bedroom, Fu Huai’an carried Lin Nuan into the study. Upon seeing that it didn’t seem quite right, he carried her out of the room and entered the master bedroom on the right-hand side.
On the plane, Fu Huai’an had taken a shower and shaved, trying his best not to look disheveled.
He thought that Lin Nuan would certainly cry running into his arms upon seeing him, but unexpectedly, Lin Nuan had fallen asleep in this little apartment.
Not turning on the lights, Fu Huai’an placed Lin Nuan on the large bed. Seeing Lin Nuan fidget a little in his arms, Fu Huai’an also laid on the bed as he hugged her. He pulled a blanket over with one hand and covered both of them with it.
