Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Because he was busy with filming, added to a lack of sleep, Shi Hanchu’s deep eyes were full of red blood vessels. Hence the way he looked at Li Muyang inevitably gave off a dark feeling.

Li Muyang appeared calm. He looked towards Shi Hanchu, the corners of his lips arching up as he asked, “I want to know, did you help her because her voice resembles Xiao Mei’s, or was it because… you like her as a woman?”

“She’s already someone else’s wife.” Shi Hanchu looked cold and displeased.

Shi Hanchu had always been one who spoke little, always getting right to the point and not wishing to speak unnecessarily.

Li Muyang’s hands remained in his pockets, his gaze deepening slightly. His pale and handsome face gave off a high-and-mighty aura, a smile with profound significance on his lips. “If you like her, so what if she’s married? Just snatch her over. It’s just that I know very little about her husband now. Her husband… is a mystery!”

Li Muyang’s style had always been this way. Morals performed practically no function for him; so long as he liked the woman, even if she was married, he would snatch her over, just like how he had snatched Shi Hanchu’s older sister back then!

When he thought of Lin Nuan, of how she had risked her life to go to Iraq, of how she went around with a bloody and filthy face, asking people if they had seen the person in that clean photo…

When he thought of how her gaze appeared empty when she didn’t get the reply she was looking for, Li Muyang’s heart ached terribly!

It was like Li Muyang saw himself when he had just lost Shi Hanmei. His peaceful heart seemed to fall into a scattered pool of cherry blossom petals, with gentle ripples causing his heart to be dyed the lovely pink shade of the flower petals.

Shi Hanchu looked up at Li Muyang, a barely visible sarcastic smile on his lips. “Indeed your style!”

“But if…” Li Muyang’s eyes met Shi Hanchu’s. “If it’s a woman you’re fond of, I wouldn’t lay a finger on her no matter how much I like her! So, Xiao Chu, do you like her?”

Shi Hanchu’s throat vibrated gently. Like?

No, Shi Hanchu admired Lin Nuan. It was pure admiration, and totally not the kind of fondness between a man and a woman. After all, the two of them had only ever chatted once on a TV program.

Shi Hanchu admired women like Lin Nuan. She was different from his older sister. Although Lin Nuan was introverted, she was resilient and brave, qualities his sister wanted to possess but lacked!

Li Muyang’s question made Shi Hanchu hesitant about how to answer.

Since they grew up together, Shi Hanchu understood Li Muyang’s character. It was like how he used to treat Shi Hanmei. So long as he wanted… he didn’t care about the fact that Shi Hanmei was a few years older than him! Neither did he care about the fact that Shi Hanchu’s older sister already had a fiance back then! He snatched her by unscrupulous means.

The only thing that surprised Shi Hanchu in this matter was that Shi Hanmei ended up falling in love with Li Muyang!

If Shi Hanchu said he didn’t like her, Li Muyang would likely use all his means to snatch Lin Nuan from Fu Huai’an’s side. Would Fu Huai’an be able to stop him?

Shi Hanchu’s eyes narrowed as he gazed at Li Muyang, speaking in a sarcastic tone, “Your style is still the same. Whatever you want, you just snatch! You’ve been the same since we were young…”

“Right! Everything except what you like!” Li Muyang smiled. That pale and handsome face had a demonic quality to it because of that smile. “This is what I owe you and your sister!”

Hearing this, Shi Hanchu wanted to ask him, even though his sister, Shi Hanmei, died for him in the end and he appeared so upset… How much did he love her?

However, he didn’t ask, because Shi Hanchu had always known that Li Muyang was a man cold to his bones.

What truly upset Li Muyang was probably the fact that he had lost a woman whom he was used to using. Li Muyang sometimes hated Shi Hanmei for being so stupid and falling for someone’s ploy. Although she managed to save him, she ended up losing her own life and bringing him endless trouble.

Li Muyang claimed to have killed all of the De Niro family whom he found an eyesore because he loved Shi Hanchu’s sister too deeply. However, whether Li Muyang did it for Shi Hanmei or himself, only he himself would know.

Shi Hanchu could understand the devoted act Li Muyang put on towards Shi Hanmei, but he loathed it.

Shi Hanchu ultimately didn’t answer Li Muyang’s question. He was unwilling to stay in Li Muyang’s presence much longer. Since they grew up together, Shi Hanchu was unable to leave with a cold face just like that, so he said, “It’s windy out here. Go back soon. I’ll get going first!”

When Shi Hanchu brushed shoulders with him, Li Muyang smiled, his empty eyes showing a hint of warmth now. He nodded in the breeze and said, “Ok…”

But Shi Hanchu didn’t hear him and left without turning back.

Li Muyang turned his head to see Shi Hanchu’s leaving back view, appearing gratified.

Ah Zhan nodded politely at Shi Hanchu before walking towards Li Muyang, handing the latter his cane.

Li Muyang took his cane and stood, holding on to it tightly as he gently smiled. “Xiao Mei… Xiao Chu is grown up now. He has realized his dream!”

Ah Zhan retreated and gave Li Muyang some space.

The sea breeze was a little chilly, but Li Muyang didn’t seem to have noticed. With his eyes narrowed, the corners of his lips turned up. “I met a girl. She has the same voice as you, very pleasant sounding, but your characters are entirely different! I remember you once said that if there was a chance, you would like to be someone of an entirely different character. That way, you would be able to capture my heart…”

Li Muyang’s smile widened. “So, did you send her to me?”

Li Muyang was answered only by the gusts of sea breeze.

Originally, Li Muyang really wanted to die early, to leave this dreary world. But now, he wished to live for a few more years.

“I invited her to dinner. I’m not sure if she’ll like the same food as you did, or whether she’ll like the fruit wine you liked!” Li Muyang’s mind sank into memories, his cold eyes appearing warmer and warmer. “I remember the night you drank too much fruit wine and knocked over my newly bought antique vase. It was that night you became my woman…”

Every time Li Muyang came here, he would speak a lot to Shi Hanmei, to the air. Even if no one answered him, he reveled in it, as if that person was right before his eyes, listening to him.

…

Because Li Muyang’s invitation was more formal, Lin Nuan changed into a short black gown and a long black trench coat…

At the entrance of the restaurant, there were several bodyguards in black suits. They looked solemn and gave off an imposing feeling.

Ah Zhan stood at the entrance. Seeing Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan enter with their people, he hurriedly and respectfully went towards them…
