Chapter 79: Do You Want to Be Drenched?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Nuan had just gone down the stairs a few steps before someone pulled forcefully at her slender hand. Her whole body fell backward, knocking into a solid warm wall as the scent of nicotine infiltrated her sense of smell.
Cars flew past puddles, making the water splash up, instantly drenching Lin Nuan’s feet which she had yet to retract; the part of her leg under her right knee felt icy cold.
She raised her head to see Fu Huai’an holding her arm with one hand and a black umbrella in the other, a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth. His strong facial features appeared before her eyes with his brows slightly furrowed, his deep eyes staring at her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHalf of the cold bright light from the hospital’s entrance was blocked by the black umbrella and the remaining half fell upon his strong jawline and broad shoulders.
Fu Huai’an’s suit trousers were also half-drenched and his suit was left unbuttoned; the aura of a strong and mature man was intimidating.
Seeing Lin Nuan’s blank look, Fu Huai’an’s brows drew in tighter as he released her arm to remove the cigarette from his mouth, saying, “Why are you spacing out while walking, do you want to be soaked?”
Fu Huai’an’s thick voice was slightly hoarse from smoking and it contained a hint of gentle anger as though he was lecturing a subordinate, strong and dominating.
“Why are you still here?” Lin Nuan slipped out the words without using her brain-to-mouth filter. action
“I met a friend at the hospital so we chatted for a bit…”
Lin Nuan didn’t believe Fu Huai’an’s reason.
It wasn’t that Lin Nuan had a lot of pride in herself, but it was simply that the timing of Fu Huai’an’s appearance was too much of a coincidence, to the point that Lin Nuan subconsciously felt that he’d been waiting for her.
Sensing the disbelief in Lin Nuan’s eyes, Fu Huai’an was just about to open his mouth when he heard someone calling him.
“Old Fu!?”
Upon hearing the call, Fu Huai’an raised the umbrella and looked towards the main building of the hospital.
Only to see a male doctor wearing his white coat and running towards their direction in the light rain, his hand carrying a plastic bag that contained medicine.
“Taking the time I was getting medicine to run over here and flirt with someone doesn’t seem like your style!”
Bai Jinyu, who had a nameplate that indicated him as the attending physician of the neurosurgery department, soon stood in front of Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing that it was Lin Nuan who was standing under Fu Huai’an’s umbrella, Bai Jinyu laughed and said, “I was wondering who it was and it turned out to be Lin Nuan. No wonder Old Fu didn’t wait for me to collect the medicine before running out here.”
Lin Nuan was the female anchor of Haicheng’s broadcasting station’s morning news, and she was the woman Fu Huai’an liked, so it wasn’t weird for Bai Jinyu to recognize her.
“Hello, I’m Old Fu’s friend, Bai Jinyu, and a doctor at this hospital.”
Bai Jinyu’s self-introduction made Lin Nuan feel awkward. She raised her gaze to see a trace of the meaningful smile playing on the corner of Fu Huai’an’s lips.
It was very slight but she couldn’t ignore it.
Just earlier she had been so full of herself and assumed that Fu Huai’an was waiting here for her. Her ears turned red as Lin Nuan tried her best to act properly and avoid letting others notice her strange behavior.
“Nice to meet you,” Lin Nuan said politely in her pleasing voice.
After greeting Lin Nuan, Bai Jinyu passed the medicine to Fu Huai’an while nagging at him, saying, “Avoid eating this medicine as much as possible. You can’t always rely on medicine to fall asleep…”
“I know.” Fu Huai’an jerked his chin up and took the bag of medicine with his hand still holding his cigarette.
Bai Jinyu looked at his wristwatch and said, “Then I’ll leave first, I still have a surgery coming up later.”
After he finished speaking, Bai Jinyu nodded towards Lin Nuan with a smile while Lin Nuan returned a slight smile of her own.
