Chapter 397: Huai’an, I love you

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“I was also concerned for Tuan Tuan when I first left him behind for business trips. But he’s a boy… and boys need to grow up earlier. They say girls mature earlier than boys, so it’s necessary to develop his independence earlier. I really want him to grow into a dependable man for his future wife—only men like this can win the trust of the woman they love.”

Fu Huai’an’s words did make sense. Lin Nuan thought that kids needed to have their independence developed from a young age, no matter if they were a boy or girl!

But wasn’t it too early to start developing Tuan Tuan’s independence?

Not to mention this child didn’t have a mother. Lin Nuan wanted to love Tuan Tuan properly.

Lin Nuan took the milk and began to drink. “You’re looking at it from the big picture…”

Just as she finished talking, his phone began to ring. He stopped the car right before the traffic light and answered the phone after seeing the caller ID. He rolled down the car window and reached for the storage compartment to grab his cigarettes.

“I’m already on the way to Jincheng,” Fu Huai’an said on the phone.

He pulled out the pack of cigarettes and whipped one out, then put it in his mouth. He then reached for his lighter, but before he could, Lin Nuan grabbed it and held it in her palm.

Fu Huai’an’s sharp, defined eyes looked towards Lin Nuan. With the cigarette still in the corner of his mouth, his mature and grounded aura made her heart beat faster.

Lin Nuan didn’t say anything and put the lighter in the storage compartment. She clearly didn’t intend to return the lighter to Fu Huai’an.

The person on the other end of the line said something as Fu Huai’an moved the cigarette from his mouth and answered, “Yes, I brought Xiao Nuan along. It’s just the two of us.”

The light turned green.

Fu Huai’an kept his hand on the steering wheel and drove straight.

She just heard her name. She couldn’t help but turn and examine his defined side profile, the curves of his eyes and neck. He had such a grounded presence and mature aura.

He felt her gaze on him and glanced at her before fixing his eyes on the road again. He was now sure she was looking at him. He hung up the phone and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Lin Nuan inhaled and said, “You should smoke less!”

Fu Huai’an was a heavy smoker. Lin Nuan felt he was so addicted that he was smoking all the time except when he was sleeping or doing it with her.

It wasn’t realistic to make him quit smoking altogether, but it would be good to make him smoke as little as possible!

“Since we’re already married, I’d naturally want you to be with me until the end. But as you can see, our age gap is quite large, not to mention you’re smoking so much now. They say that one less cigarette means six to ten minutes worth of life! The time you’re giving away to smoke now is lost time you could be with me in the future!”

Lin Nuan started talking about this topic seriously with him.

She intended to make him smoke less and less over time, then quit altogether…

Fu Huai’an kept his hands firmly on the steering wheel. Lin Nuan’s final sentence about how the time he was giving away to smoke now was lost time he could be with her in the future… It struck him to his core.

Lin Nuan wasn’t wrong, they did have a large age gap. If he got old one day and passed away early, what would Lin Nuan, who was much younger than him, do?

He recalled his grandmother’s words when she raised him—wife and husband should be together until the end.

If he passed away earlier in his older years and left Lin Nuan alone, wouldn’t she be lonely?

Fu Huai’an had never thought about this before…

The cigarette in his fingertips lost its sweet taste.

Lin Nuan wasn’t sure if she was being too harsh—she fixed her eyes on him as he tapped on the steering wheel with his fingers.

For some reason, Lin Nuan’s eyes suddenly grew moist as she turned to look at the raindrops trickling down the car window. She said in a low voice, “Huai’an, I love you. That’s why… I want you to stay with me for a long time. It’s hard for me to love someone, and once I do, I’m terribly afraid of being abandoned.”

Fu Huai’an felt his chest tremble…

Lin Nuan said she loved him!

He felt his heart tingle, as if it were touched by a feather—it itched, and he couldn’t bear it.

He crushed the cigarette in his fingers.

Lin Nuan turned and looked at the way his veins popped out from the back of his hands, then looked back up at him.

He threw the cigarette in the ashtray and reached over for Lin Nuan’s hand on her legs. He opened her clenched fist and crossed fingers with her.

He wasn’t willing to let go of her hand. He didn’t even turn on his indicators and parked right next to the road. He cupped Lin Nuan’s face with his hands and kissed her.

This was a non-parking area!

Lin Nuan saw the camera lights flash in front of them—she knew they were going to get fined!

She wanted to push him away since he was being ridiculous, but she wasn’t strong enough!

Fu Huai’an’s burning kisses nearly melted Lin Nuan down. His lips smothered hers as he took in all the air in her. His tongue intruded into her mouth and took what he wanted, giving Lin Nuan goosebumps all over her body.

He nearly swallowed her with his intense kisses.

She grasped his shirt tightly and willingly gave in to him. At the same time, she was eager to return his passion.

Fu Huai’an’s heart shattered to pieces when he heard the words “I love you!”

After a long while, Lin Nuan felt her mind go blank; Fu Huai’an finally showed mercy and let go of her red lips.

Lin Nuan lost her breath as her chest heaved up and down.

Fu Huai’an’s heavy breathing near her ear made her spine tingle.

The kiss ended, yet Lin Nuan tightened her grasp on his shirt. Her mouth was filled with the scent of this dominant man.

She blushed and said, out of breath, “What do we do now that you’ll get a ticket?”

“I won’t smoke in the future!” Fu Huai’an answered in a roundabout manner. He seemed determined as he had a serious and cold expression. His deep, mature voice became solemn as he said, “I’ll quit smoking to be with you until the end.”

She didn’t expect him to agree so readily. Her eyes grew wet as she nodded.

“Not here, they’ll get the photos of us…” Lin Nuan said shyly.

…

Fu Huai’an drove onto the expressway immediately.

Jincheng was less than two and a half hours away from Haicheng; Fu Huai’an didn’t bring along his assistant in order to attend a wedding there.

After he got on the expressway, Fu Huai’an didn’t let go of Lin Nuan’s hand.

In the car, the warm breeze gently caressed Lin Nuan’s pink cheeks. She felt somewhat hot.

Even when Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan didn’t speak, the atmosphere in the car was still sweet.

Fu Huai’an drove through the first service station. He got out to buy some gum and snacks for her, then took out a few bottles of water from the back.
