Chapter 80: If I Said I Was Waiting For You

After Bai Jinyu left, the duo under the umbrella entered a weird and awkward silence.

Lin Nuan lowered her eyes and felt her soaked pants clinging tightly to her lower thighs. When the wind blew over, it was so cold it made her shiver.

She tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear to hide some of the embarrassment in her heart before opening her mouth to say, “I’m sorry, just now… It was such a coincidence to meet you here, I thought you were waiting for me.”

Among the noise of the car honks and tires splashing through the water puddles, Lin Nuan heard Fu Huai’an’s deep voice sounding beside her ear sensually.

“If I said I was waiting for you…”

Lin Nuan clenched her fists and her heart skipped a beat. She tried to control herself and not reveal the fluttering of her heart.

She looked away, lowering her head and not knowing where to place her gaze, but the move accidentally exposed her gradually reddening ears and elegant neckline to Fu Huai’an.

“Are you getting on my car?” Fu Huai’an asked calmly, his relaxed tone that of someone superior.

In Lin Nuan’s eyes, she saw Fu Huai’an’s hand holding the plastic bag and cigarette, white smoke rising from between his fingers, making her heartbeat increase involuntarily.

Seeing Lin Nuan who was turning red from shyness, Fu Huai’an felt stirred up and his Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.

“Lin Nuan.” Fu Huai’an called Lin Nuan’s name, his tone sounding slightly heavy as he added, “Answer me.”

As though Lin Nuan’s reply was an important decision.

Lin Nuan actually felt her heart panicking.

She felt Fu Huai’an’s strong masculine scent filling in between her breaths, mixed with the smell of nicotine and the faint hint of mint.

What made her uneasy was the forceful tone of Fu Huai’an’s voice.

The rain started getting heavier once more and the continuous raindrops hit the umbrella, as though they were drumming down in an attempt to urge Lin Nuan to answer.

Under the cross of the double rainbows, the pedestrians cursed at the ever-changing weather as they rushed to avoid the rain, the water in the puddles splashing up under their feet.

Lin Nuan was protected closely under Fu Huai’an’s umbrella, and she lowered her head to see the blurry traffic lights through the column of water trickling down as her fingers played with the corner of her shirt.

Fu Huai’an lowered the umbrella and leaned closer towards Lin Nuan, using the hand holding the cigarette to hold her chin up so he could meet her gaze. In the busy street, on a rainy day, the pose looked extremely intimate.

Lin Nuan’s heart thundered against her chest and she subconsciously tried to step back, saying, “Don’t be like this!”

She tore her gaze away and used her hand to hold Fu Huai’an’s wrist, feeling his slightly cold watch that was peeking out from under his sleeve under her palm.

“Like what?

The scenery behind Fu Huai’an’s back was colorful as he slightly tightened his hold on Lin Nuan’s chin, forcing her to face him as he lowered his thick voice on purpose. It was obviously a teasing sentence, but these two words sounded especially seductive in the dark and rainy weather, making Lin Nuan’s ears redden involuntarily.

Lin Nuan’s hand around Fu Huai’an’s wrist started perspiring and she had no choice but to raise her head. The shyness between her brows grew clearer and even her eyes were covered in a layer of mist.

“We’re in public, how can you act like this?!”

Her voice slightly trembled.

“You mean, as long as we’re not in public, I can do whatever I want?” Fu Huai’an opened his mouth to shoot back.

One sentence was enough for Lin Nuan to feel both shame and fury and she forcefully pried Fu Huai’an’s hand away from her chin. Before she could open her mouth, her lips were sealed by Fu Huai’an’s cold lips.

Lin Nuan’s mind blanked instantly, the intensity of the rain hitting the umbrella the only sound left in her ears.

Fu Huai’an pulled the umbrella extremely low and covered the two of them.
