Bai Xiaonian had one hand inside the pocket of her coat and was still dialing Song Yao’s number relentlessly outside the greenhouse.
You Nainai, who was by Lin Nuan’s side, saw Fu Huai’an walk over, so she called out to Lin Nuan.
“What happened?”
Lin Nuan looked backward upon hearing this. She then felt the man with the deep-set eyes circling his arms around her slender waist.
The familiar and reassuring scent enveloped Lin Nuan, visibly easing her nervous state.
“Ah Zhan brought his men, and they are standing at the door. He claimed that Song Yao hit Li Muyang with her car. I don’t know what condition Song Yao is in and I’m a little worried, so I asked my brother to call Cen Mo and ask him about it.”
Lin Nuan never hid things from Fu Huai’an.
Lin Nuan looked up and gazed at Fu Huai’an. The man’s expression didn’t change much when he heard this. His eyes, nose, thin lips, and well-defined jaw all appeared calm, just like they always did.
Seeing a waiter walk over, Fu Huai’an extended a hand and placed his wine glass on the platter, then said, “Yesterday, Li Muyang went to find Cen Mo. I’m guessing your friend Song Yao found out about something…”
Fu Huai’an was clear about Li Muyang’s movements!
After all, they were in his territory, Haicheng!
It was Fu Huai’an’s wedding day, so there was a chance that Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan had received some news but chose not to inform him, fearing that it might affect his emotions on his big day.
Yesterday?
Lin Nuan recalled how Song Yao hadn’t shown up the night before.
Lin Nuan remained quiet, though her cold hand burrowed its way under Fu Huai’an’s suit. Through his shirt, Fu Huai’an could feel the chilliness from her fingertips.
“Why is your hand so cold?” Fu Huai’an gripped her petite hand, the warmth from his palms warming up her fingertips.
“I’m afraid that something has happened to Song Yao!” Lin Nuan’s voice was quivering.
“Don’t be anxious…” Fu Huai’an reassured her, his vision directed at Lu Jinnan, who was talking to someone else.
As if sensing that someone was looking at him, Lu Jinnan looked over. He got Fu Huai’an’s meaning, and after lightly laughing and patting the arm of the man opposite him, he smiled and waved goodbye. He then walked towards Fu Huai’an.
“What’s the matter?” Lu Jinnan asked.
“Li Muyang got into an accident?”
Lu Jinnan paused for a moment, then nodded. There was a hint of sarcasm in his deep voice. “But someone like him deserves to die!”
Lu Jinnan felt like Li Muyang’s body was in a pretty bad state. With such a bump this time… he certainly wouldn’t survive.
Lu Jinnan then looked at Lin Nuan. “But that friend of yours and Xiaonian’s is truly vicious. She even disregarded her own life…”
Lin Nuan felt her heart rise to her throat. “How is Song Yao?”
Seeing the blood drain from Lin Nuan’s petite face in an instant, Lu Jinnan realized that he had said something wrong. His throat vibrated a little before he opened his mouth to speak. “My men said that she was sent to the hospital, though we’re not too sure about her exact condition now. Shall I send someone to check?”
“Nuan Nuan…”
Lin Nuan turned her head upon hearing Lin Chen’s voice.
Lin Chen slipped his phone into the inner pocket of his suit, then said to Lin Nuan, “Song Yao is in surgery right now. Cen Mo said that she has internal bleeding inside her skull, so it’s more dangerous.”
Lin Chen had studied medicine, so he knew that Song Yao was in a rather precarious state after roughly asking about her condition.
All Lin Nuan could hear was the sound of her heart rapidly beating and blood rushing through her body. The increase in temperature from the warmth of Fu Huai’an’s fingertips dissipated in an instant from Lin Nuan’s hands.
“Huai’an…” Lin Nuan looked up at Fu Huai’an. “I think…”
Without waiting for Lin Nuan to finish her words, Lin Chen had already spoken. “You’re getting married today. What’s going to happen to your wedding after you leave? I’ll make a trip to the hospital. If there’s an update on her condition, I’ll give you a call!”
Lin Chen and Cen Mo were friends, so it was reasonable for him to head over at a time like this.
“I’m going as well!” Bai Xiaonian hurriedly exclaimed after returning to hear that Song Yao had landed herself on the operating table in her attempt to hit someone.
Fu Huai’an’s hand retracted from Lin Nuan’s slim waist. He knew how worried she was about Song Yao.
“There’s me here. Lu Jinnan… you accompany Xiao Nuan to the hospital!” Fu Huai’an said in his mature and magnetic voice.
Fu Huai’an lowered his gaze and saw that Lin Nuan’s eyes were reddened. He lightly laughed and stroked the top of her head. “I know your heart won’t be put at ease unless you go over and take a look for yourself. Even if you stayed, you’d be in constant trepidation.”
Lin Nuan nodded. She felt that her husband was truly the most amazing husband in the world.
Fu Huai’an gently caressed Lin Nuan’s fair and tender face with his ring-wearing hand. “Go change your clothes! Wear something thicker, and come back earlier! I’ll take care of our relatives and friends here! I’ll go inform Dad and Mom in a while…”
“Mm!” Lin Nuan nodded her head vigorously.
Bai Xiaonian pulled Lin Nuan by the hand and speedily went upstairs with her to change out of their clothes.
Lin Chen took his jacket and put it on, then said to Fu Huai’an, “I’ll look after Nuan Nuan and send her back here asap!”
Fu Huai’an gave a courteous nod. “Thanks for the hard work!”
Lin Chen left first to get his car, while Fu Huai’an turned around and said to Lu Jinnan, avoiding other people, “Take care of Xiao Nuan! Get Bai Jinyu to follow along!”
Bai Jinyu was the best neurosurgeon at the moment!
Not just in Haicheng, even on a national level, it was hard to find a more outstanding neurosurgeon than Bai Jinyu.
“Okay! Don’t worry!” Lu Jinnan nodded.
Fu Huai’an heard Lin Jingquan calling him over, wanting to introduce him to the Lins’ relatives and friends. Fu Huai’an picked up a glass of wine from the tray of a passing waiter, then walked over, a polite yet distant smile on his lips.
Noticing that Lu Jinnan left as well, Lin Ran frowned hard. She had initially wanted to go over and ask Fu Huai’an what had happened, but she dared not because of the imposing aura that he gave off.
She frowned, worried that something might have gone wrong at today’s wedding.
Lin Ran was in a daze as she stared in Fu Huai’an’s direction. Just then, she suddenly felt someone tugging at her skirt.
Lin Ran lowered her head and saw Tuan Tuan gazing up at her in his little tuxedo, complete with a bow tie. The little one was so adorable that it made one’s heart soften merely by looking at him. Lin Ran smiled at Tuan Tuan, then bent over and asked him, “What’s the matter?”
Tuan Tuan opened his palms, and inside was a piece of chocolate. He pointed at Ji Yun. “For Grandma!”
Tuan Tuan was a clever boy. He knew that Ji Yun was his grandmother, but he noticed that whenever others gave grandma something, she wouldn’t eat it. Grandma would only eat something given to her by this older sister.
Little Candy had wanted to snatch this chocolate from Tuan Tuan, but he had refused. He felt that since he loved his own mama, then… his mama would certainly love her own mama too! Hence, Tuan Tuan also wanted to love his mama’s mama!
Tuan Tuan had two pieces of chocolate. He gave one piece to Liang Mulan and saved the other one… for Ji Yun.
Lin Ran gazed at Tuan Tuan with a warm smile in her eyes. “Then, I thank Tuan Tuan on behalf of Grandma, okay?”
The little one thought about it, then shook his head. “Must be filial!”
“Are you saying that one must be filial to one’s elders, so there’s no need for her to thank you?” Lin Ran asked.
Tuan Tuan nodded.
“Tuan Tuan is terrific!”
Tuan Tuan, who was just praised by Lin Ran, didn’t turn red in the ears. Although he liked this pretty older sister, he was still most fond of Mama’s praises!
…
Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian got into Lin Chen’s car, while Bai Jinyu got into Lu Jinnan’s car.
