Chapter 590: Your Taste Is the Best When It Comes to Picking a Husband!

Little Lu had made a reservation for a private room earlier that day.
Most patrons were Chinese nationals who missed the authentic taste this place offered.
The food was served in accordance with the time Little Lu reserved the room. The waiter stood at the door after turning on the fire, to enter later only when the customers in the room called him in.
The hot pot with a butter base was piping hot, and the spicy fragrance entered their senses. It was so spicy that the smell made Lin Nuan sneeze twice.
The hot pot base was fragrant and spicy; Lin Nuan kept drinking lemon water, yet she couldn’t resolve the hot and spicy sensation in her gums. She was perspiring from eating, and her body felt good about it.
It was said that this hot pot restaurant had the most authentic ingredients flown over by air. Bai Xiaonian and You Nainai, who had always liked eating hot pot, enjoyed the meal very much.
Just as Little Lu was about to settle the bill, Lin Nuan reached for her shoulder bag. “Let me…”
Little Lu glanced at Fu Huai’an subconsciously; the latter drew a tissue to wipe his mouth, appearing emotionless.
“Let me!” Lu Jinnan reached for his suit and got up. The cost of a meal was considered peanuts to these people, but Lu Jinnan wasn’t used to letting a woman settle the bill. He deliberately teased Fu Huai’an, saying, “I never imagined that one day Old Fu would depend on his wife to pay for a meal!”
After getting the waiter to come over and settle the bill, Lin Nuan didn’t wait for Lu Jinnan to hand his card over. Instead, Lin Nuan whipped out Fu Huai’an’s bank card from her bag and handed it to the waiter with the bill. She then smiled. “Huai’an has submitted all of his assets to me! They’re all with me!”
There was a smile on Fu Huai’an’s lips. He casually tossed his napkin into the basin on the table and then laughed as he said, “Those with a wife don’t need to undertake the hard work of handling their own accounts…”
Lu Jinnan was speechless.
Fu Huai’an was doing this deliberately! Lu Jinnan looked moody. They were having a proper meal, and then, all of a sudden, they were fed with this dog?food1!
Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan were staring into each other’s eyes, their gazes intertwined as if no one else was around. Sparks were flying!
Bai Xiaonian, who was full after the meal, felt choked. Why was she fed with dog food anytime, anywhere? Whereas it was so hard for her to feed Lin Nuan some dog food herself!
“Yes yes yes! You have a wife! You’re a married couple! You’re terrific!” Lu Jinnan resentfully put away his wallet.
This was the first time Lu Jinnan’s words sounded so pleasing to Lin Nuan…
Under the table, Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an were already holding hands.
Fu Huai’an placed Lin Nuan’s petite hand on his lap, then gently opened her palm, intertwining his fingers with hers ambiguously.
Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an wanted to go to the mall after lunch to buy Fu Huai’an a watch. It was rare for Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan to agree on something, which was that they didn’t want to eat dog food in the presence of this married couple. And so, they decided to go to Saint Mark’s Basilica.
Little Lu and You Nainai kept a distance while they followed Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an. One was waiting for Fu Huai’an’s instructions, while the other was alert, having sensed that there was someone following them.
You Nainai had come from the special forces, so she had a keen sixth sense when it came to danger. She pretended to casually stand in a luxury watch shop while sweeping her gaze around to see several people following Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an.
She didn’t react, but she could tell, which meant that Fu Huai’an, who taught her this, must also be able to tell!
If Fu Huai’an didn’t give her instructions as to what to do, it was better for her to take no action.
With all of Fu Huai’an’s assets in her hands, Lin Nuan appeared confident picking out a watch.
She picked up a watch with a brown watch chain. The mature vibe it gave off matched Fu Huai’an’s aura, and it was also easy to match with his outfit, both for suits and casual wear.
“Like this piece?” Lin Nuan asked Fu Huai’an.
Fu Huai’an leisurely put it on his wrist for comparison, then nodded. “Mrs. Fu has good taste!”
Hearing this, Lin Nuan nodded. She retrieved her card to hand it to the salesperson. “I’ve always had good taste!”
Fu Huai’an nodded his head in all seriousness. “Your taste is the best when it comes to picking a husband!”
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
Were there people as shameless as Fu Huai’an? Was he praising her or himself?
Seeing Lin Nuan’s speechless expression, Fu Huai’an was in an awesome mood.
The salesperson looked at this married couple with a tinge of envy as she asked in a low voice whether they wanted the watch to be wrapped up.
Fu Huai’an took a look at the watch and saw that the time was precise. “No need, I’ll be wearing it! Is there a female version of this watch?”
The salesperson understood Fu Huai’an’s intentions. She looked at Lin Nuan smilingly and shook her head apologetically. “Apologies, there isn’t a female counterpart for this watch.”
“Never mind…” Lin Nuan raised her own hand and revealed the watch on her slim wrist. “This watch is of extraordinary significance to me! I’ll just wear this!”
Just then, Fu Huai’an’s phone began vibrating in his pocket.
This was Fu Huai’an’s personal phone, and not many people knew the number, not even Old Madam Fu. Otherwise, Old Madam Fu wouldn’t be unable to reach Fu Huai’an and need to ask Chu Xun to bring Fu Huai’an a message.
Seeing that it was Lu Jinnan, Fu Huai’an put the call through. “What is it?”
“Old Fu! Old Madam Fu is here in Venice. Chu Xun couldn’t contact you, so she called me. Old Madam Fu fell sick the moment she arrived in Venice and is now in the hospital.”
Lu Jinnan clearly sounded vexed, not knowing why Old Madam Fu had traveled so far to add to their troubles!
Even though Fu Huai’an was always one who knew what he was doing and she clearly knew that she was in poor health, she still traveled all the way to Venice!
“Do you want to go take a look?” Lu Jinnan asked.
After all, Old Madam Fu was Fu Huai’an’s maternal grandmother—the mother of Fu Huai’an’s mother…
He couldn’t cut away that blood connection.
Also, on the matter of the Kaide Corporation, Old Madam Fu and Fu Huai’an were on the same side. She had given it her all to help Fu Huai’an inherit the Kaide Corporation, which was why Lu Jinnan asked him this.
Fu Huai’an frowned and asked, “Which hospital?”
Hearing the word “hospital,” Lin Nuan felt her entire body tense up. Her first thought was that something had happened to Bai Xiaonian.
After hanging up the call, Fu Huai’an saw Lin Nuan’s worried little face, so he told her, “My maternal grandmother is in Venice and was admitted to the hospital, so I’ve got to go take a look. If you don’t wish to go, I’ll get You Nainai and Little Lu to send you back to the hotel.”
Lin Nuan shook her head, gripping Fu Huai’an’s hand tightly. “I’ll go with you!”
It was Fu Huai’an’s maternal grandmother, an elder. Lin Nuan couldn’t justify not going to the hospital when she obviously had nothing going on and was able to accompany Fu Huai’an shopping.
Fu Huai’an’s maternal grandmother not liking her was one thing, but as a junior, she had to have the attitude of a junior toward an elder.
Furthermore, Lin Nuan had lingering fears from that incident in Dubai, so she worried about Fu Huai’an going out alone. She felt safer staying with him.
Fu Huai’an nodded.
The salesperson courteously handed the card and carrier to Lin Nuan, and You Nainai dutifully took the carrier from Lin Nuan’s hands…
