Chapter 450: It’s in a Woman’s Nature to Act Coquettish

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“There’s no if! Definitely no if!” Wen Moshen’s mother was resolute in her tone. “My son is blessed, even something as major as a plane crash… even when nobody else on the plane managed to survive, my son still survived! My son will be fine, for sure! For sure!”

“Mom, I got lucky the last time around…”

“Moshen! Are you trying to take your mother’s life with those words?” Wen Moshen’s mother hugged the tall yet skinny Wen Moshen, tears drenching the front of Wen Moshen’s hospital gown. “You’ll definitely be able to step down from the operating table safe and sound tomorrow! In the future, you’ll… definitely meet a better girl than Lin Nuan! My Moshen is so outstanding! You definitely will! Definitely will!”

Wen Moshen’s mother didn’t know if she was consoling herself or Wen Moshen with those words…

The golden sunshine shone into the room through the windows but was unable to warm Wen Moshen.

…

In the elevator.

Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan’s hands were tightly held together.

Through the mirrored elevator in the hospital…

Lin Nuan saw Fu Huai’an put a hand in his pocket, the other hand holding onto her petite hand. His gaze appeared like it always did, but at the same time, it revealed an unfathomable deepness.

Sensing what Lin Nuan was looking at, Fu Huai’an’s attention turned to the mirrored elevator as well….

Their gazes met, Fu Huai’an’s cold and tough facial features not revealing a hint of his emotions, his gaze peaceful yet sharp as if he could look right into one’s thoughts.

Lin Nuan bit her lip and said nothing, merely tightening her hold on Fu Huai’an’s hand, a pleasing look on her face.

Regarding Fu Huai’an’s sudden appearance in the hospital, Lin Nuan was touched and happy.

Although he said he didn’t wish for her to come, she still came…

Although he was angry, he still followed her here because he was worried about her.

Fu Huai’an didn’t respond to Lin Nuan, merely gazing at her calmly and indifferently. Seeing Lin Nuan’s ears redden, he retracted his gaze, a distant look in his eyes.

It wasn’t that Fu Huai’an hadn’t seen the scratch marks on Lin Nuan’s arm; he was holding back his pent-up anger and holding himself back from asking.

Seeing that Fu Huai’an wasn’t responding, Lin Nuan looked down, biting her lips harder…

Even her petite palm in Fu Huai’an’s hand was starting to get covered in a thin layer of sweat.

It seemed like Fu Huai’an got really mad this time.

She remembered the last time he got angry, when they ran into each other, Fu Huai’an had pretended like he hadn’t seen her.

But this time around, even though Fu Huai’an was ignoring her, he was still holding onto her hand.

Lin Nuan felt a little upset, but there was also a sweetness in her heart.

Lin Nuan wasn’t an unappreciative person. Fu Huai’an treated her well, and she knew it…

She tightened her grip on Fu Huai’an’s hand and spoke up, “Huai’an…”

“Ding—”

The elevator’s ding sound coincided with Lin Nuan’s voice as she started speaking. Fu Huai’an walked out with Lin Nuan’s hand in his, so Lin Nuan could only hurriedly catch up to him.

Lin Nuan was in high heels, and the leggy Fu Huai’an also happened to walk fast, so Lin Nuan couldn’t quite keep up with his pace, lightly jogging along.

Watching Fu Huai’an’s back view, Lin Nuan gritted her teeth. She glanced around and didn’t see any surveillance cameras in the dimly-lit underground parking lot, so she made up her mind there and then. After removing her hand from Fu Huai’an’s, she grabbed him by his narrow waist in one swift movement.

Fu Huai’an froze in surprise. Looking at the slim arm wrapped around his waist, the corners of his lips turned up a little. The little flame of anger in him seemed to be extinguished by those fair arms…

However, upon seeing the reddened patch on Lin Nuan’s fair wrist, the anger started surging again.

He tugged at Lin Nuan’s elbow and attempted to pull her away, but Lin Nuan hugged him tighter instead.

“Huai’an…” Lin Nuan’s voice was soft and a little muffled, as if she were being coquettish. “Do you intend to keep ignoring me like this?”

Fu Huai’an didn’t utter a word but had stopped trying to break away from Lin Nuan.

Lin Nuan recalled Xie Jingqian’s advice on acting coquettish. She once thought that with her character and temperament, she’d rather die than do something like that.

But when Fu Huai’an truly got mad, Lin Nuan wanted to swallow her pride and admit she was wrong. To be able to act like this… Lin Nuan had never imagined that it was so simple.

Perhaps it was in a woman’s nature to act coquettish.

Her face was slightly flushed as she leaned against Fu Huai’an’s back. She said in a low voice, “I know you didn’t want me to come. But Wen Moshen will be undergoing surgery tomorrow, and it’s not known if he will survive. I’d feel bad if I really didn’t come. Wen Moshen and I grew up together, so there’s friendship between us. But I didn’t have other intentions for coming. You’re so large that after you squeezed your way into my heart, there’s no more room for anyone else…”

Lin Nuan had never imagined that one day she’d be able to say something so mushy; her heart was beating wildly.

Lin Nuan almost couldn’t bear to continue what she was about to say…

Her face was already terribly flushed; she bit her lip, then looked up at the back of Fu Huai’an’s head, tightening her embrace around him once more. “Don’t be mad anymore. Okay?”

Sensing Fu Huai’an’s thumb caressing the spot where she was pinched red by Wen Moshen and his mother, Lin Nuan deliberately shrank back her arm. “Hurts…”

“You still know pain?” Fu Huai’an finally spoke, his deep vocals low and powerful, though no hint of emotion could be detected.

Lin Nuan reached out for a yard after taking an inch. With her arms still around Fu Huai’an’s narrow waist, she ducked under his armpit and reappeared facing him, looking straight into his eyes. “Not angry anymore?”

Fu Huai’an looked at the woman intent on staying in his arms, keeping both hands in his pockets and not making a move to hug her… his gaze peaceful.

“I already said I’d be unhappy if you came to visit him. You clearly knew I’d get mad, yet you still came…” Fu Huai’an spoke calmly. “Or did you feel that, even if I get mad, everything would be fine if you just act coquettish and coax me a little?”

In the dimly-lit underground parking lot, a car shone its headlights behind Lin Nuan…

Lin Nuan dared to take so much initiative when no one was around, but if someone was around, Lin Nuan inevitably felt shy. She turned around and squinted at the car, pulling Fu Huai’an to the side and subconsciously burying her face in his chest to avoid being recognized.

But that car didn’t move in their direction and merely took a turn.

Lin Nuan looked up at Fu Huai’an again. “That’s not what I mean!”

The phone in her shoulder bag vibrated. Lin Nuan had no choice but to let go of Fu Huai’an’s arm as she lowered her head to whip out her phone…

She saw that it was Lu Jinbei’s number and was about to take the call when Fu Huai’an easily snatched the phone away from Lin Nuan and hung up the call.

“Then, clearly tell me what you mean.” Fu Huai’an clutched Lin Nuan’s phone in his palm.

Before Lin Nuan could reply, Lu Jinbei’s call came again. Lin Nuan furrowed her eyebrows, and as she listened to the urgent ringing of the phone, she suddenly had a bad feeling, causing her to feel uneasy.

In the past, Lu Jinbei only called Lin Nuan when it concerned Bai Xiaonian. But if Lin Nuan hung up once, Lu Jinbei absolutely wouldn’t call a second time.

“Let me take the call first…” Lin Nuan took back her phone from Fu Huai’an’s hands.
