Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 387: She Saw Lu Jinnan Seated on the Couch

When Liang Mulan saw Tuan Tuan, she was reminded of how her friends already had grandchildren, so she couldn’t help but to nag Lin Chen a little.

”These kinds of matters are all determined by fate. When it arrives, you’ll have your grandson… stop worrying blindly!” said Lin Jingquan.

”Stop worrying? Even when I’m worried, your son is still not concerned about his own marriage. If I don’t worry, when will the two of us get to have grandkids?”

”Look at you, will you get your grandkids out of all this worry?”

With Liang Mulan and Lin Jingquan’s debate, the atmosphere in the living room started becoming more lively. Lin Chen’s smile and the warmth in his heart started to dissipate… he felt like silence had settled around him instead.

Without a cigarette between his fingers, Lin Chen felt as though his heart was missing something.

Some questions were hard for Lin Chen to ask in front of his parents and the child, so when his parents’ debate grew even more heated, Lin Chen said, ”I’ll step out for a smoke…”

Seeing Lin Chen stand up, Liang Mulan misunderstood it as her son being unhappy about her mention of his marriage. She glanced at Lin Nuan and hinted for her to go with her eyes.

Lin Chen took out the pack of cigarettes and lighter in his suit jacket. He stood under the roof and withdrew a cigarette, lighting it up while shielding it from the wind with one hand.

The remnants of the sunset dyed the sky the color of rust. Lin Chen’s dark eyes reflected the sky and resembled two balls of passionless fire.

The cool breeze blew into Lin Chen’s thin shirt as he let out a puff of smoke and tapped the cigarette ashes on to the ground. Before he could place the cigarette back to his lips, he saw Lin Nuan walk outside as she wiped her hands with a piece of wet tissue.

She didn’t wear a jacket, instead simply donning a slightly thicker black shirt. Lin Chen asked, ”Don’t you feel cold?”

Lin Nuan smiled and replied, ”Not really…”

Lin Nuan stood beside Lin Chen, and she hesitated for a moment before saying, ”Brother, I’m officially married to Fu Huai’an now.”

Lin Chen wasn’t dumb; when he saw Tuan Tuan at their house, he already had a vague guess.

He took a drag of his cigarette before saying, ”Be honest, why did you get married to Fu Huai’an? Is it to return the favor… or do you really like him?”

The wet tissue in Lin Nuan’s hand felt warm from her body heat, and she squeezed it as she smiled and said, ”Initially, it was more of returning the favor… but now, I truly like him.”

”What do you like about him?” asked Lin Chen, the rising white smoke from his lips blurring his unreadable gaze from her sight.

Lin Nuan couldn’t help but smile, saying, ”I think I like him for plenty of reasons, I can’t just give a single one…”

Lin Chen smiled too. He stared at the red end of the cigarette with half-lidded eyes, looking as though he was enjoying the cigarette thoroughly. He then asked, ”Have you two decided on a wedding date?”

Lin Nuan pursed her lips and only answered after a momentary pause, saying, ”I don’t want a wedding. I think the current situation is pretty good…”

Lu Jinnan’s words were ingrained in her mind⁠—she didn’t want Fu Huai’an to become a topic of gossip for high society.

Lin Nuan constantly felt that there was very little she could do for Fu Huai’an, and this was one of them.

Lin Chen chose to swallow his whole speech…

He hadn’t finished smoking the cigarette, but he realized that Lin Nuan wasn’t going to go in until he did. Lin Chen had no choice but to surrender and put out the cigarette before following Lin Nuan back into the house.

Liang Mulan continued nagging at Lin Chen for his smoking addiction. He promised to smoke less before he carried his belongings upstairs to change into casual clothes, instructing Lin Nuan to make tea for him.

…

Inside the Lins’ small kitchen, which was reserved for brewing tea…

Lin Nuan had just placed the tea leaves inside the teacup and turned around to grab the kettle when Lin Ran took the kettle a step ahead of her.

After Lin Ran had passed that envelope to Lin Nuan earlier on, she headed upstairs saying she wanted to get some sleep since she didn’t sleep well the night before, but she didn’t look like she slept.

Lin Ran held the kettle with one hand and her mug in the other. Knowing that she wanted to get some water, Lin Nuan placed Lin Chen’s teacup aside on the marble counter to let Lin Ran get her water first.
