Li Muyang took it and covered his mouth, coughing for quite some time. Only after he coughed out the blood in the airway did his breathing gradually calm down…
His mouth was filled with the smell of blood.
Li Muyang didn’t have to look at the tissue to know it was a shocking shade of red.
Perhaps because he had been sick for a long time, or perhaps because he was about to reach the end of his life, Li Muyang had a feeling that his days were numbered.
Li Muyang clenched the tissue in his hand tightly.
He only had two wishes left in his life. One was to avenge Ah Zhan, and the other was for Lin Nuan to accompany him for the rest of his life.
From the looks of it, he wouldn’t be able to fulfill both wishes…
Li Muyang looked out of the window at the dark night of Mexico, his eyes unfocused.
After several long moments, Li Muyang said, “Let’s… go to Haicheng!”
Li Muyang’s man was stunned when he heard it, but he immediately nodded in understanding. Haicheng was considered the most dangerous place, yet at the same time, also the safest place.
Li Muyang chose to die in Haicheng.
Because Haicheng… had Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan was probably the deepest obsession in Li Muyang’s life.
Li Muyang knew he most likely wouldn’t be able to avenge Ah Zhan’s death and was prepared to seek forgiveness from Ah Zhan in the afterlife.
This time, he just wanted to meet Lin Nuan in Haicheng. It was enough for him.
…
On the third day after Jiang Chengyuan passed away, Bi Wenliang suddenly contacted Fu Huai’an, implying that before Jiang Chengyuan’s death, they found out he had left all of his assets to Fu Huai’an’s son. It was Jiang Chengyuan’s wish, and they respected the dead, but she hoped Fu Huai’an could leave the Jiang family’s residence to Bi Wenyan.
After all, Bi Wenyan was Jiang Chengyuan’s wife. She couldn’t possibly give her a place to rest just because he had passed away.
Fu Huai’an didn’t want the Jiang family’s residence at all, so he merely said, “I’ve already informed the lawyer that I’m rejecting all the assets he left for Tuan Tuan.”
Bi Wenliang didn’t expect Fu Huai’an to reject it. After a moment of silence, she said, “After you left the funeral, Wen Yan… she kept thinking you were Ming’an. After all, both of you share the same blood and resemble each other. If you have the time… can you visit Wen Yan often? Look… you’ve lost your mother, and she has lost her son. Both of you are in the same boat, so why don’t you…”
“I’m busy. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.” Fu Huai’an didn’t wait for Bi Wenliang to finish speaking before he interrupted.
It wasn’t as if Bi Wenliang didn’t know what his younger sister had done to Fu Huai’an. It was good enough that Fu Huai’an didn’t hold it against her, so how could she ask him to get along with Bi Wenyan like a mother and son?
It was because the Bi family had something to request of Fu Huai’an, so Bi Wenliang awkwardly wanted to pull strings.
Fu Huai’an saw right through Bi Wenliang’s intention. He stood in front of the French windows in his study, watching Lin Nuan take a walk with Bai Xiaonian in their garden while Tuan Tuan was having fun on the grass. His lips curled up.
“I can’t help you with the Bi family’s matters, nor do I want to interfere. I’ve cut off my father-and-son relationship with Jiang Chengyuan after the funeral, so I don’t have anything to do with the Jiang family anymore, much less the Bi family!”
After saying that, Fu Huai’an didn’t give Bi Wenliang another chance to speak. He hung up the call and headed downstairs towards the lawn.
When Tuan Tuan saw his papa coming over, he happily ran over and hugged Fu Huai’an’s leg. “Papa… Auntie Xiaonian bought me and Yuan Yuan two rabbits. Come see if they’re super cute!”
Tuan Tuan pointed at the two big white rabbits on their lawn…
Fu Huai’an carried Tuan Tuan and nodded. “Right, very cute! Just like you and Yuan Yuan.”
Lin Nuan looked in Fu Huai’an’s direction and smiled.
Seeing the couple smiling at each other, Bai Xiaonian couldn’t resist teasing Lin Nuan in a soft voice. “Did Tuan Tuan and I become the third wheel? Why don’t I take Tuan Tuan back first? The two of you can spend time together walking!”
“Stop it!” Lin Nuan’s gaze swept over Bai Xiaonian’s stomach. “You’re just too lazy to find an excuse not to walk. You should walk more now. It will help you have an easier labor. I’ll walk another two rounds with you!”
“You’re too brutal! I’ve already walked more than seven thousand steps!” Bai Xiaonian protested. She felt really sluggish. The bigger her stomach was, the more slothful she was.
“Let’s go for 15,000 steps!” Lin Nuan hooked her arm around Bai Xiaonian’s slender arm. “When I was pregnant, Dr. Su told me that as long as there’s no problem with the placenta and mother, I had to walk every day. That was how I had quick labor.”
Unable to dissuade Lin Nuan, Bai Xiaonian could only look at Tuan Tuan for help.
But Tuan Tuan’s heart was filled with the desire to take Papa to see a rabbit, so he didn’t notice Bai Xiaonian’s gaze.
Lin Nuan walked another two rounds with Bai Xiaonian. When they returned, Bai Xiaonian immediately plopped down on the sofa. “As soon as Lu Jinnan gets better, we’ll move out of your house quickly. You’re too merciless! You’re even scarier than my father… not even letting me have one less step!”
“It’s for your own good!” Lin Nuan said as she showed Bai Xiaonian a picture from her phone. “Do you see this bag?”
Bai Xiaonian saw the photo on Lin Nuan’s phone. It was the limited edition dark green bag she had always wanted. Bai Xiaonian seized Lin Nuan’s phone. “Wow… where is this bag now? It’s so beautiful!”
“This bag… Gu Shaoting gave this bag to me from his position as the son-in-law of the Lin family. If you obediently walk 15,000 steps a day, I’ll give this bag to you after you give birth! You know this is a limited edition bag, right? This is the only one in the world!” Lin Nuan smiled, trying to entice Bai Xiaonian.
“Then show me the bag first!” Bai Xiaonian’s eyes lit up at the mention of the bag. She stood up and held Lin Nuan’s arm. “Is it upstairs? Let’s go… let me take a look!”
“Does your leg not hurt anymore?” Lin Nuan asked.
“Of course not. Have you never heard of how a bag treats all illnesses!?” Bai Xiaonian was energetic.
Lin Nuan was almost dragged upstairs by Bai Xiaonian. Bai XIaonian fixed her gaze on Lin Nuan as she took out the bag from the dressing room.
Upon seeing the bag, Bai Xiaonian immediately grabbed it and hugged it in her arms. “Ah ah ah… Lu Jinnan tried so hard but didn’t manage to get this bag for me. Your ex-fiancé managed to snatch it! He even gave it to you… He’s not afraid that Lin Ran will get jealous!”
Lin Nuan smiled and said, “This was all Gu Shaoting’s secretary’s hard work. Gu Shaoting never paid much attention to gifting. His secretary even picked my parents’ and grandparents’ presents.”
“Wow, what kind of god-like secretary does he have? Can you poach him over to be my secretary… He wouldn’t have to do anything else but snatch some bags for me!” Bai Xiaonian couldn’t bear to part with the dark green bag.
Lin Nuan had previously called Lin Ran to tell her that she wanted to give this bag to Bai Xiaonian because Bai Xiaonian really liked this bag.
