The Substitute Groom Chases His Wife - Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Very Pretty

An Nuan told herself to stop crying.

Her parents merely returned to Y City, and she was going to see them again in a few weeks.

But her tears would not stop crying.

She thought of the reason her parents decided to visit S Country in the first place. If it was not for Pei Zhi Yi and his family continuously harassing them, their life would not be so difficult.

An Nuan felt that she was the reason for everything. She wanted to deal with everything on her own but the Pei family was too unreasonable. The Pei family’s constant harassment in their residential area hurt her family’s reputation.

Liu Qing mentioned that a few people in their social circle were still discussing her wedding and the Pei family’s harassment.

Instead of scolding her, her parents choose to protect her.

An Nuan felt that she owed her parents and her elder brother’s family a lot for the difficulties she caused.

The arms circled around her body snapped An Nuan out of her thoughts.

Instead of pulling away from Lin Xiao Feng’s embrace, An Nuan stayed in the position for a while longer.

Lin Xiao Feng’s embrace was always comforting. His pair of strong arms and his familiar scent gave her a sense of security.

Was it possible for him to stay in his embrace for a while longer?

A faint blush appeared on her cheek as the thought came to her mind.

“Are you alright?”

Lin Xiao Feng’s voice snapped An Nuan out of her thoughts.

It seemed that her time was up.

An Nuan pulled away and raised her hand, wanting to wipe the tears in the corner of her eyes. However, before she could touch her face, An Nuan felt something soft touching her face.

“Don’t be sad.” Lin Xiao Feng’s voice was soft and consoling. “You will get to see your parents again soon. We can come and visit them in Y City whenever you want.”

An Nuan nodded.

She wondered when she became a crybaby?

“Look…” Lin Xiao Feng heaved a sigh. He used the handkerchief in his hand to pat dry the tears on An Nuan’s face. “Your makeup is ruined.”

An Nuan paused. She looked at Lin Xiao Feng and sniffled. “Lin Xiao Feng, is my makeup really ruined?”

Lin Xiao Feng froze. He merely wanted to tease his wife. Lin Xiao Feng did not expect that An Nuan would be worrying about her makeup.

“I’m joking. It’s not ruined.” Lin Xiao Feng stared at An Nuan. Other than the streak of tears on her cheeks and her slightly red eyes, Lin Xiao Feng did not notice anything else.

An Nuan pursed her lips upon seeing Lin Xiao Feng’s reaction. She felt that Lin Xiao Feng might not tell her the truth.

He was a man. What did he know about makeup?

“I’m telling the truth,” Lin Xiao Feng said when he noticed the hint of hesitation in An Nuan’s eyes. “Really.” His eyes softened as their gazes met. “Nuan Nuan, you are very pretty.”

In his opinion, An Nuan will always look pretty.

Even when she cried, An Nuan was still pretty.

Her slightly reddened and watery eyes were adorable. He could look into them forever.

From their childhood to their teenage years… and now, they were adults… trying to look away from An Nuan was not an easy task.

When he was a teenager, Lin Xiao Feng could spot An Nuan wherever she went.

The moment his eyes fell on her, he simply could not look away.

It felt as if An Nuan had cast a spell on him.

Meanwhile, An Nuan could feel the heat traveling up her face, making her cheek turn red like a cooked lobster. The heat then moved up to her brain. It felt as if her head was going to explode anytime soon.

For a brief second, An Nuan was unable to react. The CPU in her brain was overloaded when Lin Xiao Feng looked her in the eyes and told her that she looked pretty.

Moreover, Lin Xiao Feng called her ‘Nuan Nuan’ instead of calling her full name as he usually did.

Her heartbeat accelerated and it seemed that she won’t be able to calm down soon.

“An Nuan?” Lin Xiao Feng tilted his head to one side to take a proper look at An Nuan when he noticed her staring into space.

An Nuan snapped out of her trance. The way Lin Xiao Feng was looking at her made her feel embarrassed. Swiftly, An Nuan turned away to avoid Lin Xiao Feng’s gaze. Without thinking, An Nuan walked away, leaving Lin Xiao Feng at the same spot.

As she walked away, Lin Xiao Feng’s words resounded in her head like a broken record.

She wanted to scold Lin Xiao Feng for flirting in public. But An Nuan did not want Lin Xiao Feng to know that his words and praise affected her that much.

An Nuan took a few deep breaths while telling herself to calm down.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao Feng was shocked at An Nuan’s sudden departure.

He stared at her retreating figure, wondering why An Nuan stormed off without saying anything.

Did he do something wrong? Did he say something that made his wife upset?

His brow furrowed as the thought came to his mind.

Lin Xiao Feng picked up his speed and ran after An Nuan.

It did not take him too long to reach her side with his long legs.

Lin Xiao Feng held An Nuan’s hand, making her stop on her track.

“An Nuan?” Lin Xiao Feng looked worried. “What’s wrong? Why did you walk away? Did I say something wrong?”

“No.” An Nuan shook her head. She managed to calm down and composed her thoughts while walking away from Lin Xiao Feng. “It’s nothing.” An awkward smile appeared on her lips. “I just want to leave sooner.”

“Why?” Lin Xiao Feng would not be at ease until he knew the reason An Nuan left so suddenly.

“I…” Her mind whirled to think of an excuse. “Didn’t you say that my makeup is ruined? I want to leave quickly and check on my makeup. It would be embarrassing to walk around with smudged mascara.”

Lin Xiao Feng stared at An Nuan, wondering if she was telling the truth but he could not find any other reason An Nuan would get upset.

“Alright.” Lin Xiao Feng heaved in relief when he saw that An Nuan was not angry. “Come on. I’ll take you to the ladies’ room first and you can touch up your makeup.”
