Fu Huai'an nodded and tossed the backpack into the back of the car."Let's go!"
Fu Huai'an was still wearing the uniform of the air conditioner repair company. Little Lu was also wearing a waiter's uniform under his jacket. The two of them returned to the hotel and entered from the back kitchen.
Little Lu was telling Fu Huai'an about how the air conditioner had suddenly stopped working, and the two of them managed to dart into the hotel under the eyes of Marius's men.
Fu Huai'an believed that Marius was probably busy with May Myint Yady and didn't have the time or energy to take care of the matters in London's prison. Therefore, he wasn't feeling anxious at all.
According to the plan that Fu Huai'an had drawn up, if there were no accidents, it'd only take 30 to 35 minutes for the rescue operation to be completed.
As expected, the moment they arrived at the hotel, Fu Huai'an received the news that all four of them had been saved!
Fu Huai'an's four comrades each suffered injuries of varying degrees, which were caused by them being beaten up for fun within the prison.
After receiving the call, Fu Huai'an wasn't surprised at all. He only instructed the teams to send the four of them safely back to the country. Other than that, there wasn't a need to say anything else.
Little Lu had a lot of things to follow-up on, including taking care of Alyssa and the waiter.
...
Lin Nuan had to head to Jinjiang TV Station to record "Talking with Lin Nuan" today. The military sent four men to protect her. She knew that this was for her safety and thus didn't raise any objections.
Afraid that something might happen on the way, Lin Nuan left Tuan Tuan and Yun Liuli with the army while she headed to Jinjiang TV Station with Mu Taotao, Miss Xia, and Fang Yan.
However, Lin Nuan, Mu Taotao, Fang Yan, and Miss Xia appeared too conspicuous as they entered Jinjiang TV Station under the protection of four military officers.
After the recording, Lin Nuan sat in the dressing room, appearing fatigued as she kept her eyes closed.
Mu Taotao took out makeup cotton pads and looked at Lin Nuan...
When Lin Nuan was recording the show earlier, she appeared so spirited under the lights. However, after coming down from the spotlights, Lin Nuan looked as if she had been sapped dry.
"Sister Nuan, that Lu Qili asked you out for a meeting. Later on... are you really going to meet her?" Mu Taotao asked as she gently pressed the cotton pads that were soaked with makeup remover onto Lin Nuan's eyes. She wanted to remove the fake eyelashes first.
Mu Taotao didn't hear Lin Nuan's reply, and her gaze landed on Lin Nuan's face. She wanted to see Lin Nuan's reaction to guess what her objective was for agreeing to meet Lu Qili.
Not seeing any reaction from Lin Nuan, Mu Taotao contemplated what she might be thinking, then said, "Sister Nuan, why do you have to go and meet her? There are plenty of ways to get a person to be obedient! Why do you have to go through the trouble of arguing with them? People like this... it'd be fine to just give her a beating. If one round of beatings doesn't work... then make it two! Beat her up until she's in pain, until she's afraid, or even until she's paralyzed! I guarantee that she won't dare to create any trouble in the future and will know her place!"
Lin Nuan still didn't say anything. She raised her hand to hold down on the cotton pad that Mu Taotao had pressed on her eyes. She then adjusted her sitting position and opened her eyes. The fake eyelashes were already on the cotton pad.
After removing her makeup and washing her eyes with eyewash, Lin Nuan put the lid back on the eyewash and said, "Who said that I'm going to meet her?"
When Mu Taotao heard this, she quickly suggested, "Sister Nuan, then I'll make a trip on your behalf when you head back to the army later! I promise to teach her a lesson so that she won't dare create any trouble in the future!"
Through the vanity mirror, Lin Nuan could see that the Mu Taotao behind her appeared as if she was raring to make a move. Lin Nuan was no fool. Given Mu Taotao's capabilities, as well as the fact that she had been transferred over from Gu Qingcheng, Mu Taotao's hands were probably stained in blood!
To people like Mu Taotao, human lives were probably the most worthless, and they felt no pressure at all when dealing with such things. What would happen if Mu Taotao accidentally took Lu Qili's life given her capabilities?
"You'd better stay by my side!"
After saying that, Lin Nuan closed her eyes and buried her face into the water...
The door to the dressing room was opened gently. Mu Taotao saw Fu Huai'an, who was covered in Haicheng's chill, entering. She was about to say something but was stopped by Fu Huai'an.
Fu Huai'an was wearing a black coat, a dark blue high-collared sweater, and a fitting suit. They made his features appear increasingly distinct and mature.
His trousers were well-ironed, and the hand that pushed open the door had his scarf hung on it. His other hand was holding a flower bouquet.
Little Lu, who was standing outside the door, beckoned to Mu Taotao, gesturing for her to come out.
Mu Taotao nodded. After Fu Huai'an entered, she left the dressing room, leaving the place to Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan raised her head from the basin and reached for a disposable tissue. Seeing that, Fu Huai'an put down his scarf and drew out two pieces of tissue to hand to Lin Nuan.
When Lin Nuan felt that there were two pieces, she frowned slightly."Why would I need to use two pieces? It's such a waste!"
Fu Huai'an stood behind Lin Nuan and smiled when he heard what she said, a gentle expression breaking out on his face.
After wiping her face, Lin Nuan opened her eyes. She walked over to the vanity mirror, picked up the spray, and before she sat down, she saw Fu Huai'an's bright leather shoes under his well-ironed trousers through the mirror.
Lin Nuan suddenly turned. Fu Huai'an was standing right behind her, smiling.
Lin Nuan hadn't had a good rest recently and had gotten a lot thinner. Her old clothes now appeared a lot looser on her, and she was so skinny that her facial features became increasingly distinct. Even the indentation near her collar bones deepened.
Lin Nuan was slightly stunned. She hadn't received news that Fu Huai'an was returning today. If she didn't recall wrongly, today was the day when the wedding of the World Bank's vice-president would take place!
"To feel that it's a waste when it's just two pieces of tissue. You really lead a very conservative lifestyle!" There was a hint of a smile in Fu Huai'an's deep voice. It sounded so nice that it made her heart throb.
Lin Nuan's eyes turned red. While feeling awkward, she assessed Fu Huai'an from top to bottom, wanting to see if he was injured like he was the previous time.
Before Lin Nuan could ask, Fu Huai'an placed the bouquet on Lin Nuan's chair and pulled her into his embrace.
Lin Nuan banged into Fu Huai'an's arms. She could feel his sturdy chest under her hands, and her nose was filled with his mature and fresh scent. Lin Nuan's eyes reddened even further, and her throat felt as if it was blocked.
She bit her lower lip, and her slender arms wrapped around Fu Huai'an's waist. She heard Fu Huai'an speaking softly next to her ear."Mrs. Fu, I've brought your Mr. Fu... back safely! Are there any rewards? En?"
Lin Nuan restrained her emotions, not allowing her tears to flow down. She pressed her face against his chest, and the arms that wrapped around Fu Huai'an's slender waist moved up to his broad shoulders and back. Lin Nuan nodded. Her throat felt so sore and swollen that she couldn't make a sound, and her nose sounded as if it was slightly blocked.
The familiar person, familiar embrace, and familiar scent finally let Lin Nuan's hovering heart be at ease.
She raised her head and tried hard not to let her vision be misted up by tears. She smelled the scent of aftershave.
It was likely that... Fu Huai'an had just shaved before coming to see her.
