569 You Really Fell for It!

She asked, "Thinking about Qin Zhe's matter?"

Fu Huai'an hadn't expected Lin Nuan to guess his thoughts with just one try. He reached out and squeezed Lin Nuan's tender and bouncy little face. "When did Mrs. Fu learn to read my mind? En?"

"Qin Zhe has already been sent onto the plane by you. Did you recall your days in the special forces because of Qin Zhe? Recalled those comrades in the past, hence you couldn't fall asleep?"

Lin Nuan had always believed what Fu Huai'an told her…

Since Fu Huai'an said that Qin Zhe had already left on a plane, Lin Nuan took his word for it and believed that Qin Zhe had left.

Fu Huai'an ran his fingers through Lin Nuan's long hair and tucked it behind her fair and beautiful ears, nodding distractedly.

Tightening her hold around Fu Huai'an's waist, Lin Nuan said, "Huai'an, actually, I'm really glad you chose to leave the special forces. Although I know my thinking is selfish, I hope you can stay with me in peace for a lifetime and not face danger every day. Although I know it's narrow-minded and selfish of me to think this way…"

Just thinking of those large and small scars on Fu Huai'an, Lin Nuan felt as if a knife was piercing her heart.

Fu Huai'an rubbed Lin Nuan's slender shoulders and held her in his arms, speaking in a gentle tone, "I like the way you're being narrow-minded and selfish!"

Fu Huai'an knew in his heart that she only feared he would get injured because he had a place in her heart.

Lin Nuan shut her eyes. In her ears was Fu Huai'an's steady and powerful heartbeat. She smiled slightly. "Let's rest! Shall we?"

Fu Huai'an lifted Lin Nuan horizontally and walked towards the bedroom.

On the bed, Fu Huai'an's naughty hands began wandering all over Lin Nuan's body. Her soft and fragrant skin made Fu Huai'an's breathing grow heavier.

He had just kissed Lin Nuan's neck when she frantically flipped over and blocked Fu Huai'an's lips with her small hands. "Don't… If you leave another mark, Bai Xiaonian is going to make fun of me!"

Speaking of this, Lin Nuan recalled their last lunch in Dubai. When she was being mocked, Fu Huai'an merely sat there like it was none of his business, staring at his phone.

Lin Nuan inevitably sounded angered. "When I was being mocked, you sat there as if it was none of your business and didn't bother to help me out of the situation. I didn't know what I should say! So I ban you from leaving any kind of mark on my body from now on!"

Fu Huai'an looked at the way Lin Nuan was puffed up with anger and felt tickled. "The minute Bai Xiaonian mentioned it, you looked in my direction, as if fearing nobody would realize I was the one who left behind the mark! Bai Xiaonian only said that to tease you and see you blush. And you really fell for it!"

Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

She had to admit, what Fu Huai'an said seemed to make sense.

"I spend so much effort teaching you in bed, why don't I see you falling for it?" Fu Huai'an sounded decent.

Lin Nuan pinched what little bit of soft flesh there was on Fu Huai'an's waist, a threatening look on her face. "You dare continue!"

It wasn't that Fu Huai'an felt threatened by Lin Nuan's threat, but he still gave her advice, fearing that his little bride might encounter a situation like that again and fall for Bai Xiaonian's teasing once more. "If you encounter such a situation again, just pretend you don't understand what she's saying. Whoever has thicker skin will win!"

Lin Nuan was once more rendered speechless.

When it came to comparing who had thicker skin, Lin Nuan was indeed no match for Bai Xiaonian, much less Fu Huai'an.

Although in her heart she knew that what Fu Huai'an said was right, she refused to admit it. Lin Nuan glared at Fu Huai'an. "You think everyone has thick skin like you!"

Fu Huai'an didn't feel ashamed of that; on the contrary, it appeared to be something he was proud of. He said, "It's okay if your skin is thin. Just practice more, and it will get thicker! Let me teach you…"

After utterly taking advantage of Lin Nuan, Fu Huai'an finally laid down with her.

Lin Nuan was exhausted by all this activity, so she fell asleep. Fu Huai'an, whose desire wasn't quenched, couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Fearing that Lin Nuan might wake up if he were to leave halfway, Fu Huai'an hugged the soft Lin Nuan in his arms and sniffed the alluring scent on her body, his entire body tightening to the max. Still, he held himself back and ultimately didn't leave the bed.

…

The next morning, the weather in Venice was particularly splendid…

The golden sun shone on the entire City of Canals. Fu Huai'an only fell asleep when it was almost daybreak. Lin Nuan carefully removed the large hand on her waist and didn't wake up Fu Huai'an, wishing for him to sleep a little more.

The phone at the head of the bed rang. Lin Nuan frantically silenced it and saw that it was Bai Xiaonian who had called. Without even slipping into her slippers, she tiptoed as she lightly jogged to the bathroom. She picked up the call after closing the door. "Hello…"

On the other end of the line, Bai Xiaonian shouted, "Hotel lobby," before Lin Nuan's phone, which went uncharged the entire night, died.

Lin Nuan stared helplessly at the darkened screen of her phone…

She had fooled around with Fu Huai'an after she got back last night and had forgotten to charge her phone.

But in the call, Bai Xiaonian had excitedly mentioned the hotel lobby, so what exactly was going on?

Lin Nuan pulled open the bathroom door and took a glance at the sound asleep Fu Huai'an. She then closed the door again and turned on the water. After washing up, she patted on some toner and moisturizer, bunched her hair into a ponytail, and then applied a thin layer of sunscreen before stealthily exiting the bathroom.

After charging her phone, Lin Nuan left a message on paper for Fu Huai'an…

When she was signing the bottom, she looked up at the deep features of the handsome man on the bed before writing down the words "Mrs. Fu," unable to hold back a smile.

Picking up the wristwatch that Fu Huai'an had set down on the bedside table last night, Lin Nuan used it as a paperweight. She then placed the cap back on the pen and left for the hotel lobby after grabbing her coat.

Bai Xiaonian, who was seated in her wheelchair, couldn't keep still when she saw Lin Nuan exit the elevator. She waved excitedly at her.

Lin Nuan stepped out of the elevator and put on her coat. She peered around Bai Xiaonian and didn't see Lu Jinnan anywhere. Lin Nuan walked over to Bai Xiaonian and zipped up her coat properly before asking Bai Xiaonian with a frown, "Where's Lu Jinnan? Why are you here alone?"

"I don't know what Lu Jinnan was busying himself with last night, but he went to sleep late. I wanted to let him sleep a little more, so I came out first. Where's your Fu Huai'an?"

"He didn't get to rest well last night. Seeing that he was still sleeping when I went out just now, I didn't wake him up…"

Bai Xiaonian sized up Lin Nuan's flushed face and tender skin, and she couldn't resist smacking her lips together. "Tsk tsk tsk. Until how late did you guys fool around? You actually managed to make Fu Huai'an unable to get out of bed! Weren't you ferocious!"

Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

"Could you think of other things with that brain of yours?"

"I'm thinking logically. Look at yourself. You're radiant with happiness and clearly well nourished! Moreover, you two are in love and in a beautiful place like Venice. Every minute of a night in this beautiful setting is worth a thousand taels of gold. Don't tell me you purely chatted with him through the night as you and I would?"

Bai Xiaonian didn't wait for Lin Nuan to rebut. She raised her phone to show Lin Nuan. "The winner of the Best Actor Award, Shi Hanchu, is staying at this hotel too! I just took a photo! Do you know what the biggest piece of gossip I discovered is?"
