Lin Nuan was slightly shocked but was okay again rather quickly. Fu Huai’an rushed to the TV station to pick her up.
This matter had blown up quite a bit.
Immediately, it was trending on Weibo. Later on, all the major websites were vying to report about it.
Over the years, Lin Nuan made many good friends in the industry. All of them had called to ask if she was injured.
…
In the car, Fu Huai’an gripped Lin Nuan’s hand tightly.
“I’m fine. Taotao protected me well. Moreover, I didn’t even enter the dressing room, and he didn’t scare me!” Lin Nuan said to Fu Huai’an.
Fu Huai’an pursed his thin lips and held the steering wheel with one hand, his expression horrid.
A few days ago, Fu Huai’an heard that Maynard Sanchez had gone crazy because he couldn’t find Li Muyang’s corpse. He was certain that Li Muyang wasn’t dead, so he wanted to force Li Muyang out by attacking Lin Nuan.
Fu Huai’an thought that the crisis in Haicheng had been resolved. In order to eliminate Maynard Sanchez, he pulled out the team that was previously assigned to protect Lin Nuan and sent them to deal with Maynard Sanchez.
He hadn’t expected that after Lin Nuan’s team left today, Li Muyang would find an opportunity to get close to Lin Nuan… The person who protected Lin Nuan only realized it after Lin Nuan called him.
“From tomorrow onwards, when you go out… I’ll accompany you!” Fu Huai’an said.
He gripped Lin Nuan’s hand firmly. It was difficult to imagine the consequences if the person in question today was an assassin, not Li Muyang.
“Then what would you do about the company’s matters? I’m fine…” Lin Nuan held Fu Huai’an’s hand tightly. “It’s already more than enough with Taotao protecting me. Moreover, isn’t Li Muyang already captured? There’s nothing to worry about!”
Just as Lin Nuan finished speaking, Fu Huai’an’s phone rang.
It was from Little Lu.
Fu Huai’an answered the call. “Hello…”
“Sir, Li Muyang couldn’t make it to the hospital. He died on the way there.”
Little Lu reported Li Muyang’s death to Fu Huai’an.
When he previously received news that Li Muyang had fallen into the sea, Fu Huai’an had thought that Li Muyang had died. He hadn’t expected that he would appear in Haicheng again.
This time, when Little Lu called to say that Li Muyang was dead, Fu Huai’an became extraordinarily calm.
“I got it…”
After Fu Huai’an hung up the call, Lin Nuan asked, “Is there something going on at the company? If you’re worried, I’ll accompany you to the company.”
“It’s not about the company,” Fu Huai’an said. “It’s Li Muyang. He died on the way to the hospital.”
Lin Nuan recalled that Li Muyang had covered his mouth with his hand in the dressing room, and blood had seeped out from between his fingers. She nodded. “Earlier in the dressing room, Li Muyang told me he might not be able to last until tomorrow…”
Fu Huai’an pursed his lips tightly.
“Huai’an, you really don’t have to be so nervous!” Lin Nuan gripped Fu Huai’an’s hand tightly. “I’m no longer that Lin Nuan from back then. You’ve taught me personally, and I’ve been practicing every day, including shooting. My muscles are rather well-developed now. Forget Li Muyang… I can take down more than ten people at once!”
Fu Huai’an turned on the turn signal and stopped the car by the roadside. His eyes met Lin Nuan’s, and without a word, he pulled Lin Nuan into his arms.
Lin Nuan’s petite hand moved along Fu Huai’an’s broad back, onto his firm shoulders. She buried her head in his shoulders. “I’m no longer how I used to be, a bird that’s frightened by the slightest breeze. I’m no longer afraid of that world, that was so dark I didn’t understand it. Because… you were a part of that world before.”
Previously, Lin Nuan didn’t even want to go overseas anymore because of what had happened there. Foreign countries used to be her source of dread.
But she had developed the ability to withstand the fear over time…
It was because there were traces of Fu Huai’an in that world.
Or perhaps it was because she was no longer the helpless Lin Nuan from back then…
Hence, she was no longer afraid.
Whether it was the dark side of the world or the bright and beautiful side of the world, they were both the same world!
To see the beautiful and peaceful side of it, she couldn’t ignore the other side just because she was afraid.
Because of this realization, Lin Nuan admired those who walked in the dark to protect others.
She respected Qin Zhe, whom she had met in Dubai, and Wang Mang, who had opened his own restaurant after getting injured because of his mission. Feng Yang, who had died to protect Qin Zhe…
She also respected the young soldier who had been forced to get addicted to drugs to help the police investigate the drug route and ended his life by jumping off a building.
Lin Nuan regarded them highly, so she was willing to do “After Heroes” even longer to let more people know that behind the peaceful and beautiful world, there were so many nameless heroes silently shouldering the darkness for them.
“Let’s go home!” Lin Nuan gently stroked Fu Huai’an’s back. “Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan are still waiting for us at home!”
Fu Huai’an hugged Lin Nuan tightly and only released her after a long while…
Lin Nuan didn’t know that when Fu Huai’an had found out about Li Muyang’s appearance through her call… he had goosebumps all over.
Even though he knew Li Muyang no longer had any power to take Lin Nuan away, the fear of losing her still enveloped Fu Huai’an’s heart.
When it came to Lin Nuan, he couldn’t tolerate any risks.
“Let’s go home…” Fu Huai’an said.
The two of them were silent throughout the journey. When they got home, they saw the two little cuties sitting in the living room, playing building blocks together. Basically, it was a game of Tuan Tuan stacking the blocks up, and Yuan Yuan knocking them over…
After successfully pushing the blocks onto the ground, she happily revealed all of her eight teeth to her older brother, Tuan Tuan.
Tuan Tuan doted on his younger sister a lot. Every time Yuan Yuan pushed down the building blocks he had built, Tuan Tuan would clap his hands and smile, saying that his younger sister was the strongest. After that, the blocks would be knocked over by Yuan Yuan again after he set them up properly.
The siblings were enjoying themselves until Yuan Yuan saw Lin Nuan. She was the first to see her. She propped herself up with her little butt and leisurely stood up to ask Lin Nuan for a hug.
Lin Nuan’s heart was about to melt. After changing her shoes and putting down her bag, she couldn’t even be bothered to wash her hands. She quickly walked over to carry Yuan Yuan and planted a kiss on Tuan Tuan’s head. “Our Tuan Tuan is so capable. He takes good care of his younger sister!”
“Mm!” Tuan Tuan nodded vigorously and pounced into Lin Nuan’s arms. “Tuan Tuan loves Yuan Yuan the most. Tuan Tuan also loves Mama the most!”
Fu Huai’an removed his suit jacket and looked at Lin Nuan and the two kids, who were huddled together in the living room. His heart seemed to have found the place it belonged to.
His lips involuntarily curled up. Lin Nuan asked Tuan Tuan if he wanted to eat pudding, making the little one elated.
Because of his weight, Tuan Tuan had long been restricted by Fu Huai’an’s not to eat snacks. He had an unusual obsession with snacks.
Fu Huai’an didn’t say anything when Lin Nuan offered their son snacks.
Lin Nuan gave Tuan Tuan two puddings. He only started eating after obediently feeding Yuan Yuan. Tuan Tuan really took good care of his younger sister.
