Mr Fu, I Really Love You

In the Lin Family, Lin Nuan’s mother had been utterly protective of her, to the extent that she had been literally sheltered like a delicate princess.

Lin Nuan bent down and lifted Tuan Tuan up by his tiny little elbows, nestling him in her arms.

She pondered what to do with him if she was going to go to the Lin Family that afternoon.

Fu Huai’an might not trust anybody else to look after him. Otherwise, Bai Xiaonian could be a good candidate to take care of Tuan Tuan.

However, the matter definitely needed to be discussed with Fu Huai’an before she could ask Bai Xiaonian for her help.

Tuan Tuan was a bright kid. He could remember Fu Huai’an’s phone number quite clearly. In fact, he managed to recite both of his numbers when Lin Nuan asked him.

Bai Xiaonian finished tidying up and took a look at the adorable pudding in Lin Nuan’s arms. She asked, “What’s the deal with this kid?”

“Help me look after him for a bit, I need to make a call…” Lin Nuan looked at Tuan Tuan and said, “Stay with Aunt Bai for a while, okay?”

“Don’t call me Aunt Bai.” Bai Xiaonian took Tuan Tuan into her arms and shamelessly brainwashed him. “Call me Sister.”

“….” Lin Nuan was speechless.

Bai Xiaonian took Tuan Tuan into the pantry to get something nice to eat while Lin Nuan walked into the stairway and called Fu Huai’an.

When Lin Nuan told him about the situation, Fu Huai’an asked, “So where’s Tuan Tuan now?”

“Tuan Tuan is with my friend,” Lin Nuan replied.

Fu Huai’an was taken by surprise. Tuan Tuan had an odd personality—he usually wasn’t willing to stay around strangers.

“Maybe he’s doing it to suck up to Lin Nuan?”

Fu Huai’an inwardly let out a sigh. Tuan Tuan really did want Lin Nuan as a mother…

“If you’re going to the Lins, I can pick you up at the radio station. I’ll hand Tuan Tuan over to my assistant who can babysit him for us.”

“So he was unwilling to let someone else look after Tuan Tuan,” Lin Nuan thought. She agreed. “Okay. Then what time are you coming to pick me up, Mr. Fu?”

“Three-twenty.”

He answered without hesitation.

“Very well. I’ll be waiting for you downstairs with Tuan Tuan at three-twenty.”

“Sure.”

Fu Huai’an hung up the phone after giving a succinct response.

Lin Nuan returned to the room and saw Tuan Tuan’s chubby, fair face surrounded by the station’s employees. No matter how hard they tried to tease him, he wouldn’t say a word.

As soon as he saw Lin Nuan come in, Tuan Tuan leaped off the seat and ran towards her. He stopped himself short half a meter away to look up at her. His huge, innocent eyes radiated a spark reserved only for her.

Lin Nuan found the cautiousness in his movements to be genuinely endearing.

She bent over and caressed his tiny head, “Father will pick us up at three-twenty. Hey, I know an awesome ice-cream shop downstairs, how about we go get ourselves some ice cream before he gets here?”

Tuan Tuan grinned like a Cheshire cat. He nodded furiously. “Yes!”

Bai Xiaonian walked towards Tuan Tuan and said, “This kid seems particularly close to you.”

Even though Tuan Tuan didn’t say anything, his behavior raised some suspicions regarding his relationship with Nuan Nuan.

Lin Nuan’s reputation was already pretty bad at that point. As soon as Bai Xiaonian said that, it was a silent explanation to the crowd that there wasn’t much going on between the child and Lin Nuan.

The ice-cream shop was right downstairs.

Tuan Tuan sat in a chair a tad higher than himself, holding the ice-cream bowl in one of his chubby hands while vigorously shoving spoonfuls of ice cream into his mouth with the other.
