Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 431: Am I Mere Decoration to You?

Gao Daiwei’s chest was heaving greatly. Looking at the man who had Lin Nuan by the shoulders, she was oddly astounded by the powerful aura exuded by that man and couldn’t help but take a second look.

Dressed immaculately in a suit, Fu Huai’an’s style was simple yet classy.

The suit accentuated his tall and slender figure perfectly. Coupled with his well-chiseled facial features, even if he didn’t speak a word, his mere presence exuded an air of maturity and excellence—that of a man with a successful career.

Without saying or doing anything, his strong presence silently oppressed Gao Daiwei, such that she was unable to speak a word.

Fu Huai’an lowered his gaze and looked at Lin Nuan, positioning her on his right, enquiring in a low voice, “Are you hurt?”

Upon seeing Fu Huai’an, the grievance in Lin Nuan’s heart appeared to be magnified by several magnitudes…

She wanted very much to calm down her emotions and tell Fu Huai’an no in her usual voice, but she was so emotional that her eyes were already watery, so she could only nod.

Fu Huai’an’s large hand held onto Lin Nuan’s slender shoulder, and his gaze swept over the two women’s watches on the display tray in the sales lady’s hands. He recognized them to be a matching pair to the very one he was wearing right now.

He didn’t ask about what happened. When he arrived, he heard Lin Nuan mention the wages of the Development Bureau’s Director Gao, so he quickly got a sense of what the girl’s identity was.

Previously, Fu Huai’an had an investigation done on people around Lin Nuan. He found out about Lin Ran and naturally came to know of her best friend, Gao Daiwei, who was also the eldest daughter of the Development Bureau’s Chief.

Fu Huai’an guessed that Lin Nuan probably set her eyes on that watch because it was the other half of the couple’s watch she gave to him. He asked Lin Nuan, “Do you like that watch?”

Before Lin Nuan could reply, they heard a flustered and exasperated Gao Daiwei speak up. “I want both of these watches!”

Lin Nuan reached out and tugged on Fu Huai’an’s arm, not wishing to fight with Gao Daiwei. “Let’s go!”

Gao Daiwei’s father was the Development Bureau’s Chief, a person that real-estate developers couldn’t wait to suck up to as they relied on him to approve their building plans. Kaide Corporation’s main business was in real estate, so Lin Nuan didn’t want Fu Huai’an to offend the Development Bureau Chief for her sake; this would do no good for his future.

Fu Huai’an nodded but didn’t budge. His gaze swept over the watches in the sales lady’s hands, and he seemingly smiled. “Let me see what’s so great about this watch, to have people to fight over it…”

The sales lady handed the watches over to Fu Huai’an and smiled. “This is a limited edition model, and there are only two such pieces in the entirety of Haicheng. It’s no wonder the two ladies are so fond of it.”

With the two women’s watches in his hand, he took a look and asked Lin Nuan, “Do you like it?”

“I say, mister! I’ve already told the sales lady that I’m taking both of these!” Gao Daiwei couldn’t help emphasizing.

Lin Nuan’s brows furrowed. “Uhm, I don’t like it…”

Fu Huai’an nodded. Then, unexpectedly, he threw the watches in the direction of the fountains in a fluid and dashing movement.

The two watches were thrown out and nicely struck the spot where the statue was standing in the fountain. The watches were smashed apart, and loose parts bounced off the statue.

Lin Nuan widened her eyes.

Fu Huai’an had always been well-composed, so his act of smashing those two watches was something Lin Nuan couldn’t anticipate.

The sales lady was nearly frightened to death, mulling over how to stop Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an from running away from the scene! The watches had yet to be sold, and she certainly couldn’t afford to pay for them herself!

“Since you don’t like it, the watches shouldn’t bother you with their presence.” Fu Huai’an’s spoke in a cool voice.

Gao Daiwei stared in shock at the man beside Lin Nuan as he said to Lin Nuan, “Wallet…”

Lin Nuan recalled the money clip Fu Huai’an had been keeping with her. She lowered her head, took it out, and handed it over to Fu Huai’an.

He whipped out a credit card and handed it over to the sales lady. He then shut the money clip and handed it back to Lin Nuan before saying courteously to the sales lady, “Thanks!”

The sales lady could tell that the man was helping Lin Nuan get back at the other woman. She hurriedly received the card from him and sighed inwardly. Rich people sure were a different breed; they didn’t so much as blink an eye when smashing such an expensive watch!

“How much does a Development Bureau Chief earn, to afford his daughter such extravagance? To go at odds with someone on a whim, not blinking an eye when buying two such expensive watches.” Fu Huai’an hinted not so subtly. His dark gaze swept over the branded shopping bags that were strewn all over the ground.

“Miss Gao, your high profile is going to bring a great deal of trouble for the Development Bureau Chief. Back in the day, that Red Cross flaunting wealth incident implicated so many people, how many of them dare to come out today? It’s not a good thing to be flaunting your father’s massive net worth. It’s better to keep it low profile to be safe!”

Clearly knowing that there were people taking videos of the scene, Fu Huai’an deliberately spoke the naked truth as it was. It’d be a wonder if it didn’t make the news headlines tomorrow!

It wasn’t so long ago that the Lins’ Second Uncle Lin, Lin Jinghui’s matter got exposed. The anti-corruption authorities were keeping a close watch currently. For the daughter of the Development Bureau Chief to flaunt her wealth like that, if the Chief weren’t called in for an investigation and to have his assets thoroughly investigated… that’d be a wonder!

Gao Daiwei wasn’t stupid. She understood the implication and instantly turned as pale as a sheet.

Fu Huai’an suddenly appeared to stand up for her, so how could Lin Nuan not be touched?

Lin Nuan tugged on Fu Huai’an’s arm and made a move towards the exit. “Let’s go…”

Fu Huai’an’s long arm grabbed Lin Nuan’s hand instead. The warmth from his palm melted the cold from her fingertips. His silent and deep eyes gazed at her softly, smiling. “The car’s in the underground parking lot!”

As she got into the car with Fu Huai’an, some nosy people followed along and snapped pictures of them, attempting to capture their ambiguous relationship…

…

As Fu Huai’an’s car drove out of the underground parking lot, the windshield very quickly became blurred with the downpouring rain. The windshield wipers made a sweep across, but as soon as the vision became clear, rain blurred it out once more.

After making sure no cars were following them, Fu Huai’an stopped his car by the side of the road and turned on the double flashing lights…

Lin Nuan gripped onto the seatbelt in front of her chest and turned her head to look at Fu Huai’an, who was unbuckling his seatbelt. Their gazes met, and Fu Huai’an punishingly pinched Lin Nuan’s face with his long fingers.

Lin Nuan felt so much pain that she grabbed Fu Huai’an’s arm and smacked the back of his hand repeatedly. “Hurts!”

When he let go, clear red imprints were visible on Lin Nuan’s fair and flawless face. Tears formed in her eyes. She covered her face with her hands and looked at Fu Huai’an in a cute and easily pushed over manner.

“Why did you suffer grievances but keep it from your husband? Am I mere decoration to you?” Fu Huai’an spoke in a deep voice and couldn’t hide the heartache he felt for Lin Nuan in his dark eyes.

Today, Lin Nuan did feel wronged…

Momentarily, she had no idea where to start!

But today, there were also touching moments for Lin Nuan. In comparison, it seemed those feelings of being wronged weren’t even worth a mention.

She couldn’t resist the urge to run into Fu Huai’an’s arms, eyes watery, biting onto her lips…

Her gaze swept over Fu Huai’an’s thin, pursed lips. She removed her seatbelt and reached over to hug Fu Huai’an’s neck with her slender arms, kissing him.

Lin Nuan attempted to emulate the way Fu Huai’an kissed her with her inexperienced ways, tracing Fu Huai’an’s lips and prying open his mouth with her tongue, exchanging fluids with him.
