Mr Fu, I Really Love You 145 I Thought it Was Ridiculous

These words were putting her intentions right on the table.

It was Lin Nuan’s first time dealing with that type of scene and she thought that she would feel guilty and blush, but upon hearing Mrs. Liu’s direct and straightforward words, Lin Nuan could actually just smile and laugh without getting too affected.

Sending the Liu family off, Liang Mulan dragged Lin Nuan onto the couch with her to ask her about the matter of her getting married to Fu Huai’an.

Lin Jingquan sat on the single couch on the right of Lin Nuan and lit a cigarette, his deep-set eyes staring at her, his deep and thinking gaze unreadable.

“If your brother hadn’t mentioned it, your father and I wouldn’t have known that you didn’t get married to Fu Huai’an. This is such a huge matter, why didn’t you tell us?”

Lin Nuan didn’t know how to reply so she sat there and smiled at Liang Mulan.

“How are you still smiling!” Liang Mulan smacked the back of Lin Nuan’s hand.

“Your brother said that you haven’t been home these past few years to avoid hurting Little Ran’s heart, but aren’t you afraid of hurting mine and your mother’s hearts?” Lin Jingquan spoke with a deep voice, “Getting married is such an important matter, I only heard about it from your mom when I came back from my business trip. In your heart… Do your mother and I still have a place in your heart?”

Raising Lin Nuan, the love and feelings Lin Jingquan and Liang Mulan invested in her were not fake.

Afraid that Lin Jingquan’s words would be too heavy for Lin Nuan to accept, Liang Mulan glared at her husband. “Just speak nicely, what are you lecturing her for?”

It was impossible to say that Lin Jingquan didn’t feel any anger these past few years.

That year when Lin Nuan left the house, Lin Jingquan couldn’t stop her but was afraid that Lin Nuan would be unable to take care of herself. Even the nanny he’d hired ended up being chased out by Lin Nuan with an excuse. He greeted the school’s leader to ask them to take care of her, but she purposely switched over to take a mass-communication major. The living fees they gave her would always be transferred back to Liang Mulan’s card, without a single cent missing, as though she was going against him on purpose.

That was why when Lin Nuan started working at the broadcast station, even though Lin Jingquan thought several times of asking the higher-ups to look after her, he forced himself to resist the urge, afraid that doing so would make her not even want her job anymore.

Lin Jingquan frowned as he tapped the cigarette, speaking again after a short pause, “You don’t like Liu Mingchen?”

Lin Nuan clenched her fists and remained silent.

“Nuan Nuan, we’re all family here so Papa will tell it to you directly—since you don’t like Liu Mingchen, have you considered your older brother?”

Lin Jingquan stood up as he spoke, taking from the dining table the teapot that the waiters had yet to tidy up. He casually poured himself a cup of tea as he sat down, his deep gaze fixed on Lin Nuan as though his words were not at all shocking.

Hearing those words come out of Lin Jingquan really gave Lin Nuan a shock.

Lin Nuan could only hear the beating of her own heart as she reached out to take the cup, lowering her head to take a sip of the tea to cover up her panic and awkwardness.

First, it was introducing a Liu Mingchen to her, then it was mentioning Lin Chen—it made Lin Nuan anxious and she didn’t know what to do.

Liang Mulan also didn’t think that Lin Jingquan would suddenly mention making Lin Chen and Lin Nuan a couple today. Apart from her surprise, she was anticipating Lin Nuan’s answer.

Seeing that she was keeping her silence, Lin Jingquan sucked in a breath of nicotine before he spoke with furrowed brows…

“Initially, when your mother mentioned it to me, I thought it was ridiculous. Today, when your mother arranged for you to have a blind date with this Liu Mingchen, I still wasn’t very happy. Thinking back to your mother’s previous suggestion, I then found it rather suitable. We’re a family, so it’ll be even more natural for us to live together. You can also be safe under our watch. You won’t have to be afraid of situations where you are being bullied by those you wrongfully trusted in yet as your father, I don’t even have the rights and position to stand up for you.”
