Chapter 394: How Could She Bear to Just Let Go?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

She had thought that Lin Nuan would stand on moral high ground and accuse her of causing Lu Xiangsi’s death, making Tuan Tuan motherless!

But instead, Lin Nuan used such a calm and indifferent tone to say that… it was all in the past, then without hesitation, ripped apart the remaining curtain in her heart, exposing her shame.

Using guilt as an excuse when she actually wanted to be together with a man!

Chu Xun thought back to that night when she felt that she had no choice but to strip naked in front of Fu Huai’an, and the words she said when her mind was all jumbled up…

She closed her eyes, recalling that not a single word she said had been about Tuan Tuan!

That’s right, she was simply using guilt as an excuse for why she wanted to be with Fu Huai’an!

If she was really doing it because she felt guilty towards Tuan Tuan, she definitely would have said it all that night.

Chu Xun actually knew deep down that…

Tuan Tuan… was simply an excuse she gave herself to explain her shamelessness.

She couldn’t believe that she used a reason that she had used to lie to herself when faced with Lin Nuan, who was clear and observant.

Now that she was exposed just like that, she felt horrified…

Chu Xun’s tears fell even more uncontrollably. Lin Nuan’s soft speech made Chu Xun even more uncomfortable than she would have been if Lin Nuan had slapped her and lashed out at her, calling her a shameless sl*t who tried to seduce Fu Huai’an.

Lin Nuan didn’t give her any physical humiliation; she simply exposed her shame with ease and calm!

When she realized that Lin Nuan had talked about Lu Xiangsi’s matter truthfully and without any exaggeration, she felt even more guilty and embarrassed…

Chu Xun suddenly laughed lightly and said, “Are you always such a saint? Do you act like a saint towards everyone or just me? Shouldn’t you exaggerate Lu Xiangsi’s issue and make me so shameless and guilty that I wouldn’t be able to see Fu Huai’an, Tuan Tuan, and you in the future? After all, I went to your house that day and stripped in front of your husband…”

Lin Nuan spoke up and interrupted Chu Xun’s words, saying, “As Fu Huai’an’s wife, what happened that night you came over made me angry and disgusted! But I have faith in Fu Huai’an that even if I wasn’t there that night… Fu Huai’an wouldn’t have touched you anyways! I have this much trust in Fu Huai’an, otherwise, I wouldn’t have married him! In the end, you are the one who earned humiliation through your own actions.”

Chu Xun looked at Lin Nuan’s clear gaze as a part of the burnt cigarette fell onto the ground.

She had to admit that Lin Nuan was right!

No matter what the circumstances were, Fu Huai’an would never touch her!

Earning humiliation through her own actions, these words were really well-said!

“I was simply describing what happened in Iraq out of respect for Sister Xiangsi and for life, not for you, I’m not familiar with you! As Fu Huai’an’s wife, I don’t have that kind of magnanimity and right position to comfort you. But I hope you understand that Fu Huai’an and I are already married. If President Chu still tries forcefully come between us when you now know this fact, then that just means that President Chu’s morals are questionable!”

Lin Nuan gripped the soy sauce bottle tightly as she spoke to Chu Xun seriously.

In Chu Xun’s heart, she had played out every possible scenario that could unfold when Lin Nuan learned of this matter. This reaction, as well as Lin Nuan’s attitude, weren’t what she expected at all…

Chu Xun noticed someone in the distance, approaching from afar…

Holding an umbrella under the heavy rain…

The man under the umbrella had handsome features even though his lips were tightly pursed. He wore an all-black casual outfit with one hand in his pocket as he walked under the dark sky. The scene… looked like a painting!

Seeing how Lin Nuan held only a bottle of soy sauce and no umbrella in her hands, Chu Xun knew that Fu Huai’an was here to fetch Lin Nuan.

She put out the cigarette in her hands and wiped her tears away, taking a deep breath to adjust her emotions.

Before Fu Huai’an could arrive, Chu Xun said, “Lin Nuan! I really love Fu Huai’an! It doesn’t matter if it’s for Tuan Tuan or Fu Huai’an, I indeed really desire your position!”

Lin Nuan looked towards Chu Xun with a clear, unworried gaze.

“Even though you and Fu Huai’an are married, it doesn’t mean that I absolutely have no chance! I won’t use any despicable methods to steal Fu Huai’an from your side, but Lin Nuan… the future is unpredictable. If I ever have the chance to get Fu Huai’an in a proper manner, I won’t hesitate! Hopefully, you have the ability to make sure that Fu Huai’an will always love you!”

After Chu Xun finished speaking, she picked up her bag of groceries and rushed into the rain.

After that night, if Chu Xun still had the slightest bit of courage to face Fu Huai’an, it was all destroyed after Fu Huai’an introduced Lin Nuan as his wife in front of so many people.

Chu Xun wasn’t joking about the words she had just said to Lin Nuan.

Life was short, and it was so hard to love someone!

Chu Xun finally found someone to love, how could she bear to just let go?

She had no idea how to face Fu Huai’an now, but one day she would have the courage, she just needed time!

Her shoulder barely brushed against Fu Huai’an under the umbrella, and Chu Xun had a slight moment of shame where she paused, but she continued to run past Fu Huai’an for a distance before stopping to turn around…

She looked on hopefully, hoping that Fu Huai’an would turn around to take one look at her.

But Fu Huai’an never even stopped walking…

The heavy curtain of rain blurred Lin Nuan’s smiling features, making Lin Nuan look unreal.

As long as Lin Nuan was present, Fu Huai’an probably couldn’t even see other people!

But was Fu Huai’an like this because… Lu Xiangsi had passed Tuan Tuan into Lin Nuan’s care that time, or because he really loved Lin Nuan?

Up until now, Chu Xun was still unable to figure out how much the past Lu Xiangsi weighed in Fu Huai’an’s heart…

Was she important enough for Fu Huai’an to love Lin Nuan simply because she regarded Lin Nuan enough to leave the baby in her care?

Chu Xun’s heart hurt, and she could no longer distinguish if those were tears or raindrops on her face… She turned back around and ran into the estate area.

…

Fu Huai’an stood in front of Lin Nuan holding an umbrella, saying, “Auntie Li has been waiting for this soy sauce of yours for so long that her wok is dry…”

The raindrops that were sliding down from the roof on to Fu Huai’an’s umbrella made noise upon impact.

Lin Nuan tightened her grip on the bottle. Seeing that the legs of Fu Huai’an’s pants and his shoes were all wet, she definitely felt touched.

She smiled and went under Fu Huai’an’s umbrella, holding Fu Huai’an’s arm in a natural and intimate manner. She said, “The rain is too heavy, by the time I reacted, all the umbrellas in the convenience store had been sold out!”

Lin Nuan’s clear voice was almost drowned out in the loud, harsh sound of the falling rain.

Fu Huai’an took the bottle of soy sauce in Lin Nuan’s hands and looked at her with a smile, indulgence in his soft gaze. He simply said, “Let’s go home!”

Lin Nuan nodded and replied, “En! Go home…”

The harsh winds blew over, causing the branches of the trees to shake intensely. The raindrops hit against the umbrella mercilessly, the sound scarily loud…

Lin Nuan’s pants turned wet instantly, and the cold material stuck to her leg. When the wind blew, she felt especially cold, goosebumps appearing on her skin.

She hugged Fu Huai’an’s arm even tighter, seeking warmth.

Fu Huai’an switched the umbrella over to another hand and reached out to hug Lin Nuan’s shoulders with his left arm. He tried to protect her under the umbrella and help her block the rain and wind.
