Mr Fu, I Really Love You

“Mm…” Lin Nuan nodded. “My brother will surely be shocked.”

Right now, Cen Mo and Song Yao looked like they were leading a great life, and Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan also announced their marriage. She thought of Gu Qingcheng and Xiao Liuli, wondering how they were doing.

Lin Nuan stuck both hands into her pockets. Seeing the servant bring her and Song Yao hot milk, she thanked them and said, “You can prepare to go back to celebrate Chinese New Year’s Eve. You don’t have to stay and take care of Yao Yao and me. Happy Chinese New Year!”

The servant smiled and nodded at Lin Nuan. “Happy Chinese New Year, Madam.”

Today was Chinese New Year’s Eve. When Fu Huai’an came back on the night before New Year’s Eve, he granted leave to all the servants in the house, starting from the afternoon of Chinese New Year’s Eve, so that they could go back and celebrate the holiday with their families.

Song Yao raised the glass of milk in her hands. Staring at the three busy people in the snow, she widened her smile.

Lin Nuan’s phone vibrated, and even Song Yao could hear the sound. “Your phone is ringing!”

Lin Nuan was dressed too thickly, so her movements were a little clumsy. Her body leaned towards Song Yao in order for her to take out the phone in her pocket. It was Little Happy’s home number. Previously, Little Happy had called her, so she stored the number.

Not answering the call, Lin Nuan shouted out to Tuan Tuan, “Tuan Tuan, Little Happy is calling you…”

The little fellow who was huffing and puffing as he stuck up his little butt while trying to build a snowball heard Lin Nuan’s voice, so he bounced over. His little nose and face were so cold they turned red. He fixed his crooked hat with his gloved hands and, seeing Lin Nuan slide to answer the call, moved his little mouth closer to the screen. “Hello…”

Unable to hear Little Happy’s voice, Tuan Tuan blinked his eyes. “Louder…”

Lin Nuan attentively tapped on speaker mode, then Little Happy’s sobbing voice became clearer.

“Tuan Tuan…” Little Happy wasn’t at all happy today. The minute he opened his mouth, he started crying.

Tuan Tuan looked up at Lin Nuan helplessly. Lin Nuan smiled at Tuan Tuan and whispered, “Tuan Tuan, coax Little Happy a little…”

Tuan Tuan nodded. After thinking about it earnestly, he moved his little mouth closer to the screen. “Little Happy, be good… Don’t cry! Don’t cry!”

“Tuan Tuan, Grandma said… my mama doesn’t want me, my mama doesn’t like me at all. She didn’t even want to give birth to me… Oo oo oo oo…” Little Happy cried, devastated. “Papa didn’t lie to me. Mama really doesn’t like me! Mama doesn’t want me anymore!”

Lin Nuan recalled that Little Happy had once asked her if she would dislike her own children because giving birth was too painful. Her lips parted slightly.

The more Little Happy cried, the more upset he got. He was in pain and couldn’t stop himself from crying.

Tuan Tuan gazed at Lin Nuan with his bright and sparkly eyes, looking endearingly silly, unsure of what to do.

Lin Nuan pinched Tuan Tuan’s little face, then said while facing the phone, “Little Happy, if your mama didn’t tell you that she doesn’t like you personally, it’s not true!”

Little Happy, who was crying, sniffled. Lin Nuan continued, “Did your mama tell you personally that she doesn’t like you, Little Happy? Have you asked your mama?”

Little Happy was both aggrieved and upset. After shaking his head, he softly said, “No…”

“Then, Little Happy, you ought to ask your mama!”

“But I’ve never seen Mama before…” Little Happy started sobbing again. “Grandma said that Mama hates me the most… She won’t want to see me!”

Lin Nuan had no idea how to console the upset Little Happy. After a while, she said, “Does Little Happy like your mama?”

Little Happy, who burped from crying, nodded. “Like!”

“If you like your mama, then you should believe in her! Other than your mama, if anyone else tells you that she doesn’t like you, don’t believe it. Because they’re not your mama! Just like no one can tell Tuan Tuan that I don’t love him on my behalf. Does that make sense, Little Happy?”

Little Happy didn’t quite understand, but he still nodded. He was a little confused, but then it seemed to make sense.

“Little Happy, Auntie believes that your papa must love you very much, so if you want to find out if your mama loves you or not, plead with your papa to take you to her. Little Happy, your mama should be the one to tell you whether she loves you or not!”

Tuan Tuan felt that what Lin Nuan said made a lot of sense, so he nodded too. With both hands on Lin Nuan’s knees, he stood on his tiptoes and edged closer to the phone screen, saying, “Your mama must… love you a lot!”

Perhaps because of this encouragement from his friend, Little Happy sniffed and nodded. “Mm! I will ask my mother myself!”

“Good luck!” Tuan Tuan raised his gloved hand and made a posture to cheer him on.

After hanging up the phone, Tuan Tuan gazed at Lin Nuan with his bright eyes and couldn’t resist confessing to Lin Nuan, “Tuan Tuan loves Mama!”

Lin Nuan pinched Tuan Tuan’s cold little face and gently kissed him. “Mm, and Mama loves Tuan Tuan the most too!”

Tuan Tuan’s ears turned red in embarrassment, and he then ran away like the wind. He was going to make the world’s nicest snowman for Mama!

“I realized you’re good at coaxing kids!” Song Yao beamed. “Wait until your niece is born, I’m counting on you to share your experience on how to dote on and coax kids!”

“Can’t call it experience, just love them with your heart!” Lin Nuan gazed at Tuan Tuan’s joyful back view. “Kids are the purest beings in the world. They won’t conceal their fondness or love for you, so… once you interact with children, you will involuntarily dote upon and love them!”

Song Yao smiled as she looked at Lin Nuan. “That’s for obedient kids like Tuan Tuan. If it’s a brat, hur hur…”

Lin Nuan nodded with a smile.

The chefs and servants weren’t around today. Song Yao and Lin Nuan were both pregnant, so Cen Mo had originally planned on cooking. After a final discussion, they decided that it was merrier for them to eat hotpot together.

When Cen Mo and Fu Huai’an were preparing in the kitchen, Old Madam Fu came…

Fu Huai’an had even allowed the door guards to go back to celebrate Chinese New Year, so there wasn’t anyone to open the door for Old Madam Fu. It was only when Old Madam Fu called Fu Huai’an that she managed to get into the house.

Old Madam Fu was pushed in by Housekeeper Ye. She had an oxygen mask attached to her face and looked much thinner now. Her cheeks and eyes were sunken, and her complexion was pallid and sallow, looking a little scary.

Seeing Lin Nuan, Fu Huai’an, and Tuan Tuan, who was standing beside Lin Nuan’s legs, Old Madam Fu smiled and said in a voice devoid of strength, “I know… on a day like this, I probably won’t be able to get you and Tuan Tuan to go back to the Fu family mansion!”

Fu Huai’an stared at Old Madam Fu with both hands in his pockets and watched as she raised her skeleton-like hands towards Tuan Tuan. “Come, Tuan Tuan, come to Great-Grandma.”

At least in the past, Old Madam Fu had treated Tuan Tuan rather well. The little fellow went forward and gazed at Old Madam Fu with his pretty eyes.
