432 Drilling Into the Depths of Fu Huaisans Hear (2/2)
Lin Nuan tightened her hold around Fu Huai'an's neck. She leaned against Fu Huai'an's sturdy and warm chest, listening to his strong and forceful heartbeat. It didn't matter how heavy the rain outside was, because she felt no fear or coldness.
She rubbed against Fu Huai'an's chest and said, ”Huai'an… I'm thinking of removing my residency from the Lins and joining it with yours and Tuan Tuan's!”
Fu Huai'an nodded, hugging the soft woman in his arms. ”Sure!”
Afterwards, neither of them spoke again. Lin Nuan laid in Fu Huai'an's arms, and it seemed like she had fallen asleep, her breathing even.
Fu Huai'an's mature and masculine scent filled her nostrils, making Lin Nuan feel incredibly at ease.
Certain warmth was like poison, once you touched it… you would never want to let go again.
Lin Nuan was once lonely for many years, and all along, she thought she was fine by herself…
But, now that she was lying in Fu Huai'an's arms, she realized that nothing in the world gave her a more steadfast sense of belonging than an embrace by Fu Huai'an.
Just like that, Lin Nuan fell asleep in Fu Huai'an's arms, sleeping soundly.
Once again, Lin Nuan dreamt of the scene where her biological father went to the Lins with Lin Ran…
That afternoon, the Lins' house went into a frenzy because of his arrival.
Lin Nuan had just returned home, dressed in a white dress. She stood at the door and watched as her biological father recounted the truth of what happened in the past. Liang Mulan looked at Lin Ran's facial features, which bore a semblance to hers, shakily wiping the tears from a crying Lin Ran's face…
Lin Jingquan reached out and hugged his wife and daughter, the rims of his eyes reddened.
Lin Nuan's biological father kowtowed vigorously thrice before turning to leave, not once stopping to take a good look at Lin Nuan as he brushed shoulders with her.
At that moment, Lin Nuan lost the courage to step into the house.
She would rather that her biological father took her away with him…
Alas, that didn't happen.
Her gaze followed that biological father of hers who had just made his escape. He never took a proper look at Lin Nuan the entire time, leaving her abandoned in the Lins' home.
Tears slipped from the corner of her eyes in her dream, wetting the front of Fu Huai'an's shirt.
He hugged the woman in his arms even tighter, attempting to dispel all the sadness from her heart with his gentleness and warmth.
…
By the time Lin Nuan woke up, the sky had already darkened. The bright intersecting colors of a traffic light converged in the fallen rain droplets on the windshield.
Fu Huai'an held her in that position for however long she had slept.
”What time is it?” Lin Nuan sounded hoarse since she just woke up.
Fu Huai'an lifted his arm, looked at his watch, and said, ”Ten past six…”
A sleepy Lin Nuan's eyes met with the silent and dark eyes of Fu Huai'an. Her heart softened uncontrollably. ”Are your arms and legs numb?”
Although Lin Nuan was slender, she was also tall… Fu Huai'an couldn't possibly not feel numb with nearly a hundred pounds weighing on his body for so long…
”Don't move…” Fu Huai'an's brows furrowed.
It was numb indeed. When Lin Nuan moved slightly, a numb feeling drilled its way into the depths of Fu Huai'an's heart.
