697 The Medicine to My Kind of Condition Is You (1/2)

His facial features were exquisite and extremely beautiful. Under the complement of his high-collared sweater, he looked as elegant as an aristocrat from the mid-century, causing pedestrians to turn their heads constantly.

When Lin Nuan and You Nainai entered the outdoors cafe, Ah Zhan had already come out with two hot beverages—one for Lin Nuan and one for You Nainai.

Li Muyang looked up to see Lin Nuan, who was already standing opposite him, then smiled and said, ”I asked Ah Zhan to order you hot cocoa, drink a little, and you'll feel much warmer.”

Lin Nuan sat down opposite Li Muyang, her small face tensed up. She was still wearing her coat and had yet to remove her mask.

You Nainai also sat down, eyes fixed on Li Muyang with an unfriendly gaze.

”Mrs. Fu!” Ah Zhan placed two cups of hot cocoa before Lin Nuan and You Nainai, then smiled and retreated behind Li Muyang.

”Can you talk about what you've done?” Lin Nuan had both hands in her pockets, and her voice sounded muffled behind the mask.

Li Muyang made a gesture towards his own face. ”Remove your mask. It shouldn't be so cold. Try the cocoa…”

Lin Nuan, who was seated opposite Li Muyang, didn't move. You Nainai spoke up, ”Nuan Nuan's identity is special in our country. In order to avoid photos being taken by the paparazzi and made up nonsensical reports about her, it's better for her to keep her mask on!”

”Then how do you know that I haven't contacted the paparazzi and got them to camp here after I informed you of the time and location?” Li Muyang smiled. When he spoke, a white ball of smoke swirled in the air from his mouth, making his perplexing smile appear gentle.

Lin Nuan was repulsed by Li Muyang, and she couldn't hold back the unpleasantness in her heart.

”Nainai, help me order a latte!” Lin Nuan turned her head and said to You Nainai.

Although You Nainai didn't feel comfortable leaving Lin Nuan alone, since Lin Nuan had asked her to, You Nainai could only nod.

After You Nainai left, Lin Nuan looked towards Li Muyang…

”Did you ask to see me in person just to go around in circles?” Lin Nuan sounded impatient.

”I'm afraid Mr. Fu didn't tell you, but lately, some friends from overseas have arrived in Haicheng. Of course, that excludes me. They are tempted to test out whether Mr. Fu is Mr. Moral. If my guess is correct, they are planning to take action against you or Mr. Fu's son!” Li Muyang spoke in a leisurely tone. ”I took action first because I know the army doesn't have anything they can use against Mr. Fu. This way, no one will suspect Mr. Fu anymore. And that means you and that child… are relatively safer!”

”In that case, my husband ought to thank you!” Lin Nuan's words had a deep significance.

Li Muyang beamed broadly, looking as if he were chatting about an extremely joyful topic with an old friend. He gazed at Lin Nuan with his charismatic and deep eyes as he gently gripped the wooden table with his leather glove-clad right hand. ”Nuan Nuan, I'm no saint. I don't like to do good deeds quietly. My goal in doing this is to please you! That is why I had to call you and ask you out to tell you about it after I did the good deed…”

Lin Nuan clenched the hand in her coat pocket. Li Muyang was indeed an abnormal person…

”I figured, if you were willing to come out and see me today, Mr. Fu would likely be able to return home safe and sound by tonight. If you didn't turn up, I would certainly have found some trouble for Mr. Fu and prolonged the time it took to get him out, until you were willing to come out and sit with me peacefully!”

Li Muyang was frank.

Lin Nuan had never seen someone court another person in such an open manner, much less a married person…

Perhaps, he wanted to hear Lin Nuan thank him herself, and more importantly, wished to see her let down her guard before him after she thanked him.

”Actually, from the start, I just wanted to stir up this incident. In fact, I only care about your safety, and I didn't wish to interfere with Mr. Fu's child's safety. Originally, I had wanted to see if Mr. Fu would continue to pretend to be a hapless civilian after his own child was kidnapped. Would he seek help from the police, or would he flare up and let his precious teams kill those people who dared lay a finger on his son…”

Upon hearing Li Muyang say that, the petite hand in Lin Nuan's pocket clenched even tighter. Anger surged up within her, her fear towards Li Muyang replaced by a great fury directed at him. She almost couldn't hold herself back from standing up and giving Li Muyang a slap across the face.

Lin Nuan's gaze at Li Muyang grew colder as she tried her best to control herself, to hold herself back from getting physical with Li Muyang.

Mothers couldn't stand it the most when someone else wanted to do something to their kid.

”But later, when I saw how much you doted upon the kid, I was afraid you'd be sad, hence I dismissed this idea!”

Just then, You Nainai came back with a latte and placed it before Lin Nuan…

Lin Nuan didn't react. She raised a hand to remove her mask. When Li Muyang got to see the exquisite face that he dreamed about day and night, his smile intensified.

”Nuan Nuan…” You Nainai, who was afraid Lin Nuan might be photographed by the paparazzi, frowned.

Lin Nuan edged closer to Li Muyang and revealed a cold smile. ”Mr. Li, aren't you afraid that apart from me not coming to meet you… I might make it impossible for you to get out of Haicheng in one piece? Haicheng is, after all, not America. Aren't you scared, Mr. Li?”

”I might not even live to see tomorrow. You and Mr. Fu are both smart people and won't claim the life of an about-to-die person like me in Haicheng!”

Lin Nuan sneered and straightened her body, those clear and black eyes mocking him. ”If Mr. Li is still in Haicheng by New Year's Day, you are welcome to attend me and my husband's wedding if you please!”

”Sure! I'll certainly be there!” Li Muyang didn't appear displeased in the least. On the contrary, his smile intensified.

Lin Nuan wasn't annoyed at all. Her smile broadened like Li Muyang's. ”I'll introduce someone to Mr. Li then!”

”My pleasure…” Li Muyang replied quickly.

”It's my psychiatrist. Since Mr. Li has conducted checks on me, you should know that Lu Hanzi is a very famous psychiatrist in our country, even an authoritative one internationally. Mr. Li, you can get Dr. Lu to perform a checkup for you. Being a pervert is also a mental condition… and it needs to be cured!” Lin Nuan's voice was soft and soothing, just like how she sounded when she was hosting a show. She sounded pleasant, and she spoke smoothly.

Li Muyang's smile solidified for a second, but very quickly, he recovered and began smiling again. ”The medicine for my kind of condition is you. Other than you, no one will be able to cure me. No one, not even authoritative doctors!”

”Too bad, my mental condition isn't that good either. It's hereditary… Whenever I see Mr. Li, my condition starts acting up. One needs to save oneself before they can save others. Mr. Li, I'm unable to oblige! In case I do something to embarrass myself!”

Lin Nuan got up, smiled slightly at Li Muyang, and nodded before putting on her mask and turning around to leave…

Seeing that there were already people who had raised their phones and started taking pictures in Lin Nuan and Li Muyang's direction, Lin Nuan strode towards the car.

Li Muyang stared at Lin Nuan's back view, his smile more vibrant now.

After Lin Nuan got into the car and left, the rain got heavier, and the sound of rain pitter-pattering against the car roof became clearer and clearer.

Li Muyang looked momentarily lost in thought as he watched the traffic light in the far distance turn green, and as pedestrians carrying umbrellas walked briskly before the cars that had stopped.

Ah Zhan frowned and bent over to say in Li Muyang's ear, ”Ms. Lin has already left. Boss, let's get going too!”

”Ah Zhan, say… if Xiao Mei had treated those people the way Lin Nuan treats me, would our endings have been different?” Li Muyang's gaze appeared distant.

Ah Zhan lowered his eyes and didn't reply.

”I really envy Fu Huai'an…” Li Muyang lamented as he got up with the support of his cane, then fell back onto the rattan chair.

”Sir!” Ah Zhan called out in surprise as he hurried forward to support him.

Li Muyang pressed a glove-clad hand against his head. Veins had popped up on his forehead.

”Sir! Let's return to America!” Ah Zhan was extremely worried, so his voice was inevitably higher. ”Are you really going to die here because of a woman who doesn't like you? Are you not aware of what your condition is like now? You need to recuperate well!”

After a long while, when Li Muyang felt better, he lowered the hand that was covering his face and revealed a pair of bloodshot eyes. ”What's the meaning of living like a walking corpse? Ah Zhan… I want to give it my all in loving a person for once!”

”But she, but she…”

Ah Zhan gritted his teeth and ultimately said nothing, afraid his words might crush Li Muyang.

But everyone knew Lin Nuan was already married—she already had a husband!

Everyone could tell that Lin Nuan was deeply in love with Fu Huai'an…

Why did it have to be Lin Nuan? It'd be better even if it were that You Nainai by Lin Nuan's side—at least she wasn't married yet!

If Li Muyang had fallen in love with any other woman, someone unrelated to Mr. Moral, Ah Zhan could help him…

But they really couldn't use tough actions against Lin Nuan's husband!

…

Lin Nuan, who was seated in the front passenger seat, was anxious to return to Tianfu Bay.

Given the time, Tuan Tuan would be home soon!
