CH 13.1

Warmth Radiated From the Man's Palm (1)

The man's voice fell, and the whole room fell into silence along with the note.

The scene that was originally still somewhat chaotic was instantly repressed, and replacing it was the dead silence after the explosion of a bomb.

It was only when the middle-aged man opened his mouth that the silence was finally broken.

"Lu, Mr Lu?"

Lu Nan's expression was cold: "Mr Fang."

Mr Fang looked at Lu Nan and the person he was protecting behind him. The surprise on his face could hardly be concealed: "This is ......"

Although they came to the engagement party, the vast majority of people have not seen Lu Nan's unpublicized engagement partner. They did not expect an accident that would lead Lu Nan to appear.

It should be known that there was a time when Second Young Master Lu came to the mainland and was detained in Shanghai for violating traffic regulations. Lu Nan's uncle had personally called to ask for his help but Lu Nan never extended any. In the end, the image of Second Young Master Lu was placed on the warning screens at various intersections in Shanghai for a whole month. The Hong Kong media was overjoyed to have received such big news, and even created a sensational countdown for Second Young Master Lu to go off air.

For such a cold-faced and cold-hearted character as Lu Nan, where even a request for help from a relative cannot move him, it is hard to imagine him making an exception for anyone.

Moreover, the wedding announcement was made without warning, and frankly, most people had considered today's engagement party as part of an unspoken show.

No one expected that Lu Nan would come out in person and make such an obvious protective gesture.

The crowd was still in shock when there was another commotion at the entrance of the lounge. A man in black suit walked in with two doctors after him, whom both hurried over and greeted Lu Nan: "Mr Lu, who is injured?"

The middle-aged man came back to his senses and quickly invited them over, "Doctor, over here! This way!"

The doctor went to check on Miss Fang's injury while Mr Fang and the people he brought with him gathered around them. On the other hand, Lin Yu He was brought to the edge of the crowd by Lu Nan.

The commotion here was quite serious, and it was also close to the main hall so many curious guests were attracted therefore the lounge quickly became crowded. Lin Yu He was said to be pulled to the side, but it was just a slightly less crowded circle around him. After all, it was impossible to avoid being the focus of attention as long as Lu Nan was here.

However, Lu Nan himself blatantly ignored those stares, and he only looked at Lin Yu He alone: "Are you okay?"

Lin Yu He shook his head: "Yes, I'm fine."

He glanced at the bustling crowd and whispered, "Sorry ......"

Lu Nan frowned and interrupted him, "Why did you apologize?"

Lin Yu He honestly admitted his mistake: "I have troubled you, so I'm sorry."

Lu Nan's expression hardened, and his eyes sank.

Lin Yu He had called him using the right name without having to be reminded this time, but Lu Nan didn't look very satisfied.

The man didn't seem to want to accept this sincere admission of fault either.

"You're not trouble."

After a moment of silence, Lu Nan suddenly spoke.

He said, "Don't say that again."

Lin Yu He flinched slightly.

If these words were a consolation, then they carried a little too much weight.

Additionally, there were so many people around them, Lin Yu He couldn't tell if he was comforting him or if he was saying it for others to hear.

Glancing at the stunned looks of those around him, he realized that everyone was actively paying attention, so Lin Yu He cooperated and responded.

"Okay."

Lu Nan, however, frowned again. It was unclear whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with this answer.

As the two were talking, a voice suddenly interjected.

"He He!"

Lin Yu He turned around at the sound: "Hui Xi?"

Shen Hui Xi managed to squeeze through the crowd and ran to Lin Yu He's side. He couldn't even take a break and asked anxiously, "What's going on, are you hurt?"

Lin Yu He had just sent a message to Shen Hui Xi asking him to call a doctor. At that time, Shen Hui Xi was waiting for Lin Yu He to go over and was shocked when he received the message. The message didn't say who was injured, so he thought Lin Yu He was in trouble and rushed to find him.

"I'm fine," Lin Yu He said, "I'm not the one who got hurt."

Shen Hui Xi checked him out and was relieved when he confirmed that his friend was really okay.

Only then did he notice the man beside Lin Yu He, and the look on his face that had just relaxed immediately tensed up again.

He hurriedly straightened up and greeted the man, "Mr Lu."

Lin Yu He was about to introduce the two men when he saw Lu Nan looking at Shen Hui Xi and narrowing his eyes, "Shen Hui Xi?"

Lin Yu He was surprised.

They know each other?

Shen Hui Xi nodded, "Yes."

He licked his lips, as if his mouth suddenly felt dry. Lin Yu He recognized this habitual action of his, Shen Hui Xi's mouth would dry up every time when he's doing something he's unprepared for.

Lin Yu He understood then that Shen Hui Xi was nervous.
