Lin Nuan looked out of the glass window with a distant gaze......

The busy Haicheng is covered in rainbows, and the bright spots blur in the mist, dotting the night view of Haicheng.

Lin Nuan's pensive face was reflected in the transparent glass dotted with rain.

"Ding-dong-"

Hearing the doorbell ringing, Lin Nuan came back to his senses and stood up, answering the door with a towel wrapped around his neck.

Having learned the lesson of the previous lesson, Lin Nuan did not open the door directly. She wore a jacket to cover her clothes and peeked out of the cat's eye.

Lin Chen's tall and broad figure stood outside the door, his suit jacket neatly stiff, holding the bag she had left in the hospital earlier that day.

The female neighbor in the office who came back from overtime saw a man standing outside Lin Nuan's door. As a single lady, she couldn't help but look at it curiously......

Lin Chen, who is in his early 30s, not only looks elegant, but also has the steady and strong atmosphere of a successful man.

Even if Lin Chen's suit was very casual, he unbuttoned his coat, he didn't tie it, and the first few buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, Lin Nuan's secretary neighbor could accurately guess that Lin Chen belonged to the upper class.

A member of high society... There is always a strong and intimidating vibe in them that can easily dominate others without having to do it on purpose.

Seeing Lin Chen's hand holding a lady's handbag, the corner of the neighbor's mouth twitched to express disgust. A female anchor, a member of high society - it doesn't take much imagination for people to easily sketch the image of power and body exchange.

Receiving no response, he rang the doorbell again.

Just as Lin Nuan's neighbor entered the door, she turned her head to take a good look at Lin Chen, only to see his handsome silhouette with a hint of coldness. She felt her heart beat faster for a while.

Lin Chen, the president of the Lin organization, had seen Lin Chen's photos in magazines before, and had fantasized about his elegant and masculine face.

Seeing Lin Chen's deep eyes and glance sideways at her, his shy face turned red. Just when the neighbor who was confident in her appearance was wondering whether to greet him, Lin Nuan opened the door.

"Brother..."

Seeing Lin Chen grabbing her bag through the peephole, Lin Nuan didn't ask obvious words, just said hello.

Lin Chen looked at Lin Nuan. Her long, wet hair tuddled behind her ears, revealing the soft lines of her delicate ears and chin. Her breath was still refreshing, mixed with a bit of warmth and gentleness, which made Lin Chen's gaze even deeper.

"You left your bag at the hospital today, so mom told me to come over to you. She still has something she wants you to know......" Lin Chen's deep and deep voice sounded a little hoarse, and the power of a person who was used to being a member of high society seeped through.

Lin Nuan left without even taking the bag. Lin Chen and Liang Mulan knew that Lin Nuan must have heard Lin Ran's inappropriate words, so they chose to leave quietly.

She pursed her lips, opened the door, and invited Lin Chen in.

This was the first time Lin Chen stepped into Lin Nuan's rented apartment. Although it is not big, it is very clean and feels like home, and there are traces of forest warmth everywhere, which is very comfortable.

Seeing that Lin Chen casually put the bag on the shoe cabinet but didn't rush in, Lin Nuan said: "I don't have suitable slippers here, so let's go in like this, brother......"

While walking towards the kitchen, Lin Nuan asked, "Do you want to drink the black tea or boiled water that my mother brought me last time?"

Lin Chen raised his foot, his shiny leather shoes stepped on the spotless floor, his eyes followed her back, and said, "Boiled water is no problem."

Lin Nuan remembered that Lin Chen had only drunk the West Lake Longjing tea that she had specially picked before the rain, but she didn't, so she asked him if he wanted black tea.

Seeing Lin Nuan boiling water in the kitchen, Lin Chen stood motionless in the living room, looking at Lin Nuan's living environment. His eyes fell on the passport on the coffee table and he bent down to pick it up.

Turning the page, Fu Huai'an's name appeared in it, and Lin Chen's dark eyes narrowed.

Lin Nuan picked up the cup and saw that Lin Chen was looking at her passport, she said, "Brother, drink some water......"

"When are you going to get married?

Lin Chen's voice was still calm and neutral, and he put his passport back.

"We don't know. We didn't sign the certificate last time......"

Lin Chen glanced to the side and watched Lin Nuan bend down and put the cup on the coffee table. His usually deep and calm gaze had a hint of emotion for them. He took off his blazer, nonchalantly placed it on a single seat, then sat down and asked, "Why didn't you manage to sign it?"

Sitting down, Lin Chen took out his lighter and wanted to turn it on, but finally closed it and put it back again.

Lin Nuan couldn't truthfully say that they were going on a date before they got married, so she said: "Before we get married, we want to have more time to get to know each other......"

Under the light, Lin Chen nodded approvingly, reached out to take the glass that was still steaming in the cup, and lowered his head to blow the liquid. The rising mist blurred his deeply carved features, and he took a sip before saying, "Well, you should try to understand each other better."

Lin Nuan recalled that before Lin Chen came in, he said that he had something to say to her, so he watched him put down his wine glass and sit down. She grabbed her left wrist with her right hand before deciding to speak first and asked, "Does Mom blame me for leaving without saying a word?"

Lin Chen glanced at her with an incomprehensible expression and said, "Do you still know?"

She grabbed her wrist tightly and said in a low voice: "Brother, I just thought that if I kept appearing in front of all of you, it would be unfair to Lin Ran......"

Hearing Lin Nuan's words, Lin Chen frowned slightly, and subconsciously reached out to get his cigarette case. Finally, he put it down as soon as he took it out.

"You can smoke, it's okay..."Lin Nuan's voice was soft, she stood up and opened the window. I opened the window. ”

She heard Liang Mulan say that when Lin Chen took over the Lin organization over the years, he had been relatively tired and under a lot of pressure. It's just that Lin Chen and Lin Nuan are equally introverted and unwilling to say it out loud. On the contrary, as time went on, his addiction to cigarettes became heavier and heavier, so much so that he needed to hold his cigarettes at all times.

Lin Nuan could see that since Lin Chen entered her apartment, he had been trying to hold back.

The pouring rain outside had not stopped, and as soon as Lin Nuan opened the window, a cool breeze mixed with moisture blew in.

Lin Chen took out a cigarette and looked at Lin Nuan's back, she gently pulled the translucent curtains. He moved the cigarette to his lips, then lowered his gaze and lit it.

Hearing the sound of Lin Nuan sitting back, Lin Chen took a puff of cigarette, looked at Lin Nuan with dark eyes, and asked, "It's not fair to Lin Ran, but it's fair to you if you don't associate with our family members?"

He saw Lin Nuan speak.

"After so many years, Mom and Dad... And I, our relationship with you is not a computer program and cannot be deleted just because someone says so. Tell me, how is your behavior different from that of stabbing us in the heart with a knife?

Lin Chen's tone was smooth, his deep voice was steady, and he sounded extremely convincing and credible, making his words pierce his heart.

After speaking, Lin Chen glanced at the cigarette between his fingers and asked, "Do you have a disposable cup?"

Lin Nuan's eyes were slightly red, and he was speechless to defend himself, so he could only nod and stand up, and said, "I'll go get a ......."

Lin Nuan brought a clean disposable cup to Lin Chen, and he took it with his cigarette-waving hand and put it on the coffee table. After pouring some hot water from the glass, he knocks the ash into the disposable cup.

She lowered her head, thinking that Lin Chen still had something to say, but until Lin Chen finished smoking the last cigarette, he didn't say another word once.

Hearing the sound of cigarette butts being thrown into disposable cups, Lin Nuan raised his head.

Lin Chen took out a sapphire velvet box from his pocket and placed it in front of Lin Nuan, the knuckles on his hands were clearly visible.

"What is this?" Lin Nuan asked.

"You ran away from home that year, and this was my birthday present that I originally wanted to give you." Lin Chen's tone was flat and neutral.

He stood up, put on his coat, and bent down to pick up the cigarette case and lighter. Then, he fixed his gaze on Lin Nuan's fair and beautiful face, and said, "If you are free tomorrow, go to visit your mother." She'll be happy..."

Lin Nuan hugged the hand of the long, thin box that had not yet had time to open, and stood up with Lin Chen, remaining silent.

After sending Lin Chen away, Lin Nuan sat on the sofa for a long time, staring at the glass of water that Lin Chen had been drinking.

A cold wind blew, and Lin Nuan's arms began to chill. Just as she was about to stand up and close the window, she found herself still holding the box that Lin Chen had given her.

Open it, and inside lies a delicate necklace. She felt a pain in her nose as she was dragged back into her memory.

Four years ago, on that sunny afternoon, light shone in through the tall windows and illuminated the room.

After lunch, Lin Nuan and Liang Mulan sat on the sofa flipping through magazines while discussing fashion trends. Lin Chen was packing his belongings upstairs, preparing to go on a business trip to France with his father.

The mother and daughter were talking about the jewelry on the model, and Lin Chen quietly climbed behind the two. When he heard Lin Nuan say that the delicate necklace hanging around the model's neck was beautiful, he said, "Then I bought you a birthday gift!"

At that time, Lin Nuan and Liang Mulan were startled, and their father reprimanded Lin Chen for being too lazy while arranging his collar, so he chose his sister's gift.

Such a bright and happy memory has been sealed in Lin Nuan's heart for so many years, so much so that it seems to have accumulated a thin layer of dust on it.
