Mr Fu, I Really Love You

“Are you okay?” Lin Nuan felt her heart in her throat.

“I’m fine, I’m just held up! I suggested taking photos of the driver’s licenses and settling it tomorrow, but this person has a one-track mind and insists on waiting for the traffic police to come over and judge who’s responsible! He was the one who drove too close to the car in front! Judge what? He’s definitely fully responsible!”

Detecting the rage in Bai Xiaonian’s voice, Lin Nuan pacified her, saying, “So long as you’re fine! I’ll ask Lu Jinnan to go over and pick you up!”

Bai Xiaonian’s breathing halted for a moment. Only when the piercing sound of honking reached her ears did Bai Xiaonian say, “No need, I’ll take a cab over by myself!”

“You’d better let him go over and take a look. I’ll be worried otherwise!”

Bai Xiaonian said nothing, and Lin Nuan knew that this was Bai Xiaonian consenting. She asked Yun Liuli and Tuan Tuan to accompany Yuan Yuan first, then went downstairs to call Lu Jinnan.

Lu Jinnan’s heart felt heavier now.

Bai Xiaonian hadn’t arrived at this hour, meaning Lin Nuan was calling him to inform him that Bai Xiaonian wouldn’t be coming, wasn’t she…

He pursed his thin lips and walked towards Lin Nuan, then heard her say, “Xiaonian’s car was bumped by the car behind her. She’s at the roundabout of Qujiang Road, not far from here. You should drive there and pick Xiaonian up. If it’s convenient, get your assistant to go over and handle the matter.”

Lu Jinnan immediately retracted his hands from his pockets. “Where?”

“The roundabout on Qujiang Road. It’s a 10-minute drive from here…” Lin Nuan could see the anxiousness in Lu Jinnan’s eyes. “I told Xiaonian that you’re going over to pick her up, so don’t let her wait for too long!”

“I’ll go right now!”

Without even telling the people in the living room, Lu Jinnan paced briskly to the entranceway and casually took his jacket, then went off.

“Where is Lu Jinnan going?” Tang Zheng asked.

“He went to pick Xiaonian up!” Lin Nuan said with a smile.

“Sister Xiao Nuan… I’ll go upstairs with you to see Yuan Yuan!” Xu Wanwan happily jogged towards Lin Nuan, hooking her arm with Lin Nuan’s and heading upstairs.

Tang Zheng winked and nudged Bai Jinyu with his elbow. “Make a guess, will Bai Xiaonian give Old Lu a big fat slap?”

All was right with the world now that he had a wife. Bai Jinyu slowly blew at his hot tea and said, “I guess that if you send You Nainai back later, You Nainai will definitely not give you a big fat slap!”

Tang Zheng went speechless.

Tang Zheng was rather content with his current situation with You Nainai. His daughter would stay at You Nainai’s place on the weekdays, and Tang Zheng would visit her after work. Sometimes, he would eat there too. Tang Zheng’s mother-in-law was rather fond of Tang Zheng.

On the weekends, Little Candy would stay at Tang Zheng’s place. The little girl had reached a consensus with Tang Zheng—in order to get more candy, she would spare no effort in abducting her mother to Tang Zheng’s place on the weekends, so the family of three ate together nearly every single day.

Tang Zheng had expressed his stand to You Nainai over and over again and decided against forcing himself on her. He kept showering her with presents and flowers too. Also, regardless of whether You Nainai treated him fiercely or coldly, he persisted… Even if You Nainai’s heart was made of steel, it would warm up.

Looking at the way You Nainai and Tang Zheng talked to each other, there were signs that her heart was softening.

Xu Wanwan took many adorable photos of Yuan Yuan upstairs. She went downstairs and showed You Nainai and Bai Jinyu on her phone. While Tuan Tuan went to the washroom, Lin Nuan took the chance to ask Yun Liuli, “Does Gu Qingcheng know that you have been feigning amnesia?”

Yun Liuli, who was sprawled over the cradle, turned back and gazed at Lin Nuan. “How did Sister Xiao Nuan know I was feigning it? I acted so well!”

“Precisely because you acted too well…” Lin Nuan stroked Yun Liuli’s head. “It’s been hard on you.”

“Wasn’t hard…” Yun Liuli’s finger was held in Yuan Yuan’s palm. She smiled gently. “I took advantage of Gu Qingcheng many times while feigning amnesia. I’m usually unable to take advantage of him like that no matter how hard I rack my brains!”

Looking at Yuan Yuan, who was spitting bubbles in the cradle, Yun Liuli couldn’t help recalling what Gu Qingcheng said… about kids.

“Sister Xiao Nuan…” Yun Liuli cocked her head sideways and looked at Lin Nuan. “Kids… are they especially important to a woman? More important than who her husband is?”

Gu Qingcheng asked Yun Liuli to consider things carefully. He said that Yun Liuli was still young, so she decided to ask Lin Nuan, who already had a kid.

Lin Nuan had always been smart, so she could guess what Gu Qingcheng’s concerns were. Hearing this question from Yun Liuli, Lin Nuan understood that Gu Qingcheng likely had laid out the cards to Yun Liuli about his current situation.

Lin Nuan sat by the bedside and gazed at the pretty girl. She said, “That depends on whose kid it is…”

Yun Liuli stared at Lin Nuan with her black and bright eyes, waiting for her to continue.

“If it’s with someone you truly love, a child is the crystallization of that love, and the child arrives in the world carrying the expectation of both the man and woman!” Seeing Yun Liuli nod, Lin Nuan continued, “Have you ever heard that the most important structure in a family is the relationship between the husband and wife? The relationship between parents and children is secondary!”

Yun Liuli nodded.

“Then, have you ever heard that the greatest show of love from a woman to a man is the willingness to bear kids for the man?”

Yun Liuli nodded again.

“So… husband and wife first, then kids! To a woman, the most important thing is her husband!”

After hearing Lin Nuan’s words, Yun Liuli lowered her gaze and gave it some thought. She then smiled. “I got it. Gu Qingcheng asked me to consider it carefully… I’ll recite what Sister Xiao Nuan told me word for word to him!”

Yun Liuli smiled and touched Yuan Yuan’s chubby little face with a finger. “If I’m not with Gu Qingcheng, I don’t want to have children with someone else!”

Lin Nuan knew that Fu Huai’an had plans to help Gu Qingcheng retire…

But this couldn’t be done overnight. It would take time.

Lin Nuan gently stroked Yun Liuli’s long hair. Once, for their friendship… Gu Qingcheng had replaced Fu Huai’an in that position, pulling Fu Huai’an out of that gory quagmire!

Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an owed Gu Qingcheng and Yun Liuli a peaceful life. For this… they would spare no effort.

The dinner was sumptuous. Earlier, Lin Nuan had instructed the head chef on the preferences of Fu Huai’an’s friends, so everyone could find something they liked on the table.

Later, even after everyone finished eating, Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian still hadn’t arrived.

With one hand in his pocket, Fu Huai’an held Lin Nuan’s shoulder, standing at the door and watching their friends leave. Tang Zheng commented that Lu Jinnan went to pick someone up for so long and had yet to come back.

However, Fu Huai’an said, “It’s better that they didn’t come!”

Lin Nuan smiled and nodded. “Mm, better that they didn’t come!”

“Stupid…” Bai Jinyu tsked twice and looked at Tang Zheng with contempt. “Since the two of them didn’t come, they must have gone to do something that we can’t know about!”
