This time around, if Lei Mengqing didn't get her mind straight and wished to stomp down on Lin Nuan, then there'd probably be no one else who would look for trouble for Lin Nuan after she cleared her name. This would be a good thing as well.
By the time Fang Yan settled everything, Lin Nuan and her family had already finished their meal.
During the meal, Fu Tianci kept scrolling through Weibo posts. When Fu Tianci saw that things were suddenly turning in an unbelievable direction, his mood became very good. All the words he wanted to curse disappeared together with his fury.
By this time, Xiao Mengqing could be considered a person who was down on her luck. If Fu Tianci still insisted on scolding her, he'd be seen as lacking class…
By the time Lin Nuan had washed up and was lying in bed to read the contents on Weibo, she was blushing a little.
Although it was true that Lei Mengqing had pretended that she couldn't drink, Lin Nuan had also lied back then when she said that she was allergic to alcohol. It was so that she could escape from dinner and drinking parties. She hadn't expected that her ex-colleagues from Haicheng TV Station would all step out to support her.
Lin Nuan felt very warm inside. She had some bad memories in the broadcasting building in Haicheng, but it wasn't as if she didn't make some precious memories as well…
The online discussions concluded with the assertion that Lin Nuan was allergic to alcohol, but she couldn't help but feel guilty about it.
One of Lin Nuan's fans even used a long post to compare the poses and reactions that Lin Nuan and Lei Mengqing had when they were drinking to verify that Lin Nuan really couldn't drink and that Lei Mengqing was just putting on an act. Some netizens joked that Lei Mengqing could be awarded the Best Actress Award!
There were even people who asked whether Lei Mengqing felt guilty about saying that her family enforced strict discipline. If this was considered strict discipline… then the way they had been brought up could be said to be extremely harsh!
Lin Nuan heard the sound of the bathroom door opening and raised her head to look toward Fu Huai'an.
Fu Huai'an had a white bath towel wrapped around his waist, and the firm muscles on his upper body exuded extremely masculine power and sexiness. It was filled with the scent of hormones.
After locking her phone screen and casually putting it onto the bedside table, Lin Nuan raised her head and looked at Fu Huai'an, who had walked up to her. She tried to hold back her smile. "Did you put it on?"
Fu Huai'an's hands rested next to both sides of Lin Nuan's body, and one of his knees was on the bed. He lowered his head and got close to Lin Nuan. "Isn't Mrs. Fu planning on putting it on me personally?"
Lin Nuan's ears flushed, and she pushed Fu Huai'an's chest, which was still slightly wet. "Forget it… I don't think I have the confidence to put it on you!"
Fu Huai'an's eyes squinted a little, and he used his gaze to gesture for Lin Nuan to look toward the bath towel that was wrapped around his waist. "Isn't Mrs. Fu planning on opening up the present herself?"
He really put it on? Lin Nuan could only feel blood surging to her head, and her gaze uncontrollably glanced toward Fu Huai'an's V-cut abs. Her ears were so red that it felt as if blood might just come dripping out from them.
She bit her lower lip, and her small hand that was like white jade gently touched the firm curves of Fu Huai'an's waist muscles. Her glistening eyes looked up and met Fu Huai'an's pitch-black eyes, but she quickly averted her gaze away. She didn't dare to look straight into his eyes!
Lin Nuan's small hand clutched tightly onto the bath towel but didn't tug it off…
Fu Huai'an's big hand clasped onto Lin Nuan's small wrist, slowly guiding her to unravel the bath towel, which caused Lin Nuan's face to turn increasingly hot.
"Mrs. Fu, do you like it?" Fu Huai'an's alluring voice rang out once again next to Lin Nuan's ears.
Lin Nuan raised her head, and her glistening eyes trembled. Her dense lashes were like fluttering butterflies, and she was dyed in a layer of pink. She was feeling so embarrassed that she couldn't meet Fu Huai'an's gaze.
It turned out that such things didn't look as unbearable as she had imagined!
The photos she had seen online were misleading. As long as one had a good figure, it would definitely be incredibly alluring when they put on these "clothes"!
…
When Yun Liuli was discharged from the hospital, it was both raining and snowing in Haicheng.
Tang Zheng took the time to send Yun Liuli to Fu Huai'an's place.
Yun Liuli sat in the front passenger seat, wearing the light brown sweater that Lin Nuan had brought over for her. Her hands rested against the car window as she looked out, her breathing causing a layer of fog to cloud up the glass.
She saw a couple on the streets, standing next to a tree that was wrapped in many small lights. The couple was holding onto a red umbrella, snuggling up to each other and waiting for a taxi.
Yun Liuli smiled and said, "I like rainy days…"
Hearing Yun Liuli's cold and soft voice, Tang Zheng replied, "En, I like rainy days as well."
Yun Liuli smiled as she drew a heart on the fog that she blew onto the car window. Her long, slender, and beautiful finger then tucked her stray hair behind her ears as she turned to look toward Tang Zheng and said slowly, "When I first met Gu Qingcheng, he was wearing a white shirt with the top button unbuttoned, and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. He was holding onto a black umbrella with one hand and clamping onto a cigarette that was giving off white smoke with the other…"
Tang Zheng was speechless.
If he had known better, he wouldn't have said anything!
Ever since he had made things clear with Yun Liuli, she had been continuously expressing her love for Gu Qingcheng in front of him!
Tang Zheng felt a little regretful. Was it too late to put up that barrier again?
Yun Liuli saw Tang Zheng's smile fading, and her clear eyes became increasingly bright…
She tilted her head and looked at the heart she had drawn on the glass, saying in a soft voice, "Behind the smoke, Gu Qingcheng's face struck my heart, leaving behind a mark that was like a tattoo. Unless my heart is changed… no one will be able to remove Gu Qingcheng from my heart."
Her resolve was unshakable!
"Xiao Liuli, you're only 18. You're still young, but it's different for Old Gu. If you get together with Old Gu… when he turns old after another 30 to 40 years, you'll still be in your prime, and you'll regret it! You'll regret not averting your gaze from this terrible old man and looking at the bright and good-looking young men in the world who are close to your age!" Tang Zheng said patiently.
Yun Liuli smiled, and her voice was as gentle as the character she displayed. She said, "Thirty to forty years is such a long time. Death and accidents could occur at any moment. Why do I have to think so long in advance? Since I want to be with Gu Qingcheng right now, then I'll just do all I can to be with him. Why do I have to have so many reservations, and why do I have to keep on regretting?"
Tang Zheng's heart kept on thumping as he listened to Yun Liuli's words.
He pursed his lips, no longer talking about reasonings with Yun Liuli. It would be useless anyway, as the young lady had her own set of reasons. Moreover, it was very awkward that Tang Zheng couldn't find any flaws in them.
Tang Zheng remained silent until they arrived at Tianfu Bay.
Lin Nuan and Auntie Li had already tidied up a room for Yun Liuli. Auntie Li had initially thought that young ladies should use pink bed sheets, but Lin Nuan felt that, given Yun Liuli's character, she should like calmer colors. Therefore, she picked a grayish-green color.
The room was decorated nicely, but the young lady wasn't really willing to stay there.
It was because, in the afternoon, she had gone with Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an to their new residence in Nanshan to see Aunt and Uncle Blessing!
The moment Yun Liuli arrived at their new residence, in addition to Aunt and Uncle Blessing—two seniors who liked children a lot—she strongly requested to stay behind and accompany them.
