312 A New Lease on Life? (1/2)

Lin Nuan didn't mind that Chu Xun had run a background check on her, as almost everyone in Haicheng was aware of her story.

Lin Nuan gave no response other than curling her lips; her delicate face remained calm and serene. Chu Xun compelled herself to stay calm and keep her emotions in check. It wouldn't do if she lost her cool in front of this young lady.

She put out the cigarette she was holding and took a sip from the juice bottle before she said, ”Lin Nuan, I'm not afraid to tell you frankly that I love Fu Huai'an, more than you can imagine…”

When Chu Xun said this, her eyes betrayed a tinge of vulnerability.

”I am indebted to Fu Huai'an because he saved my life…”

Lin Nuan was taken by surprise. She didn't think that Chu Xun would open up to her and confess her innermost feelings as they were merely acquaintances.

Lin Nuan placed the juice bottle on the coffee table before she said, ”President…”

Chu Xun raised her hand to stop Lin Nuan from talking before she continued, ”Let me finish!”

Lin Nuan pursed her lips and nodded as she sat there quietly.

”Back then, I was following a news lead, which led me to Iraq. They were at war then, and it was Fu Huai'an who saved my life!” Chu Xun said as tears welled up in her eyes. ”You haven't experienced the feeling of despair while you were on the brink of death, you wouldn't be able to understand how I felt. He appeared in front of me then, and you can't imagine how attached I felt to him… I love him, I love him so much!”

Chu Xun's words evoked Lin Nuan's memories of Fu Huai'an when they were in Iraq—his tall silhouette standing against the light.

She lowered her gaze and stared at her fair, slender fingers. She remembered how her legs had crumbled beneath her and how he lifted her up with his strong hands.
