  Fu Huai’an frowned; he placed Tuan Tuan’s slippers at the entryway, then said to the little Tuan Tuan, “Get down!”


  Tuan Tuan obediently nodded, sliding down from Lin Nuan’s body.

  After putting on his slippers, Tuan Tuan heard Lin Nuan ask him and Little Candy to wash their hands and prepare to eat; Tuan Tuan nodded and bounced off, but Little Candy held onto Fu Huai’an’s fingers and refused to let go.

  “Little Candy, wash your hands and get ready to eat…” Lin Nuan bent over and smiled lightly at Little Candy.

  Little Candy stared at Lin Nuan’s clean and delicate facial features, an infatuated look in her eyes. Lin Nuan debuted as a radio DJ and had charmed countless people with that voice of hers. She had deliberately spoken more gently and softly because she was talking with a kid, and Little Candy felt her little heart flutter with this sudden onset of gentleness.

  Tuan Tuan’s mother was so gentle…


  Little Candy gazed at Lin Nuan with her big shiny eyes; she wished her mother could speak in such a gentle tone with her.

  “Shall I take you to wash your hands?”


  Lin Nuan noticed Little Candy wasn’t talking and only stared at her, so she smiled and reached out a hand to Little Candy.

  Little Candy let go of Fu Huai’an’s fingers and carefully slipped her little claws into Lin Nuan’s palm, lowering her head and drawing in Lin Nuan’s palm with her little finger…


  Tuan Tuan’s mother’s palms were so soft!

  Little Candy looked at her little hand that was held in Tuan Tuan’s mother’s soft palms, then happily followed Tuan Tuan’s mother to the washroom to see Tuan Tuan…


  Once they entered the washroom, Little Candy saw Tuan Tuan’s mother bending over again, rolling her sleeves to her elbows.

  Lin Nuan took a look at the fair and chunky little arms revealed on Little Candy and asked, “Do you know how to wash your hands by yourselves?”


  Little Candy’s ears were a little red; on the one hand, she slyly wanted to shake her head no, but on the other, she was afraid of drawing irk from Tuan Tuan’s mother, so she nodded.

  Tuan Tuan, who was standing by the side, saw Lin Nuan speaking gently to Little Candy and got a little upset. But Lin Nuan reached out a hand to stroke Tuan Tuan’s head the minute she turned back and took a look at his meaty little hands. “Our Tuan Tuan is so brilliant! Your little hands are already washed clean!”


  Tuan Tuan’s mood turned sunny instantly as he nodded his head vigorously, flashing a thumbs-up with his short little thumb, saying in a serious manner, “Tuan Tuan the best!”


  Lin Nuan’s tiredness from the day seemed to have dissipated into thin air once she saw Tuan Tuan. Under her delicate brows, the warm lighting seemed to reflect in the bottom of Lin Nuan’s dark eyes.

  Tuan Tuan couldn’t resist it and moved two steps forwards, running into Lin Nuan’s arms and grabbing her neck; he liked Mama the best!

  Little Candy, who was washing her hands, turned her head around and saw Tuan Tuan’s mother gently stroking his back, the gentleness resembling the warm water running over her hands right now.

  Little Candy really envied Tuan Tuan. She sniffed, then turned her head back around to finish washing her little hands. When she was done, she got off the little stool and raised both hands. “I washed my hands clean too!”


  Lin Nuan handed Little Candy a towel for her to wipe her hands dry, complimenting, “Little Candy is terrific too!”


  …


  After Fu Tianci got back, his feelings were so vexed he couldn’t find a word to describe it…


  According to Fu Tianci’s temper, right this moment, he should’ve been charging happily to Fu Huai’an and exposing how Lin Nuan was seeing another man behind his back!

  But…


  Fu Tianci laid on his bed, losing yet again, at his 36th round.

  He tossed his phone aside and flipped around, his right hand under his head, frowning.

  Fu Tianci had truly never expected that Lin Nuan was Tuan Tuan’s biological mother!

  For reasons unbeknownst, he actually secretly worried for Lin Nuan, worried Fu Huai’an might discover her affair with another man!

  Fu Tianci thought he must have gone mad!

  Could that woman have bribed him with just one meal? Chancing upon a matter like this, he actually didn’t run to Fu Huai’an and inform him about it immediately and was instead worrying that she might be caught cheating! Had his brain gone haywire?

  No no no! He must not be doing this for that woman called Lin Nuan—he was doing this for Fu Huai’an and Tuan Tuan!

  She was Tuan Tuan’s biological mother, and Tuan Tuan loved her so; if Fu Huai’an were to find out she had cheated on him, he would certainly choose not to be with Lin Nuan, then how pitiful would Tuan Tuan be?

  Plus, he had seen the Weibo post made by Fu Huai’an today; if Fu Huai’an didn’t deeply love her… why would he change his Weibo name to Lin Nuan’s husband?

  If it weren’t for deep love, why would he, at such a sensitive timing, retweet the long Weibo post uploaded by Lin Nuan’s official Weibo account? And also add that emotion-flaming text?

  Fu Huai’an was the person Fu Tianci idolized the most, and Tuan Tuan… was considered someone Fu Tianci cared about. These two people were very important to Fu Tianci, so he didn’t wish to see them get hurt.

  “Thud thud thud…”


  Upon hearing the sound of someone knocking on the door, Fu Tianci’s vision turned in the direction of the door.

  Fu Tianci had been lazing around on the bed since he got back, and he didn’t turn on the lights; he could vaguely see a shadow from the crack under the door.

  “It’s time for dinner…”


  Lin Nuan’s voice traveled beyond the door. Fu Tianci instantly got up and sat on his bed with his legs crossed, his back frozen straight. His mouth gaped open, and finally, he managed an “Orh.”


  Lin Nuan settled the two little ones in the dining room, then went upstairs to change her clothes. Before going down, she recalled what Little Candy had said about Fu Tianci playing games in his room, so on the way down, she knocked on Fu Tianci’s door, asking him to head down for dinner.

  Fu Huai’an hung up his call with Tang Zheng and saw Lin Nuan standing at Fu Tianci’s door when he exited the room. He said, “Tang Zheng just called and asked us to let his daughter stay for one night.”


  Upon hearing Fu Huai’an’s voice, Fu Tianci, who was about to get off his bed and call Lin Nuan, froze in his tracks. After a moment, he slowly stuffed his feet into his slippers and quietly sat in the dark.

  Outside the door, Lin Nuan looked at a loss, unsure whether to laugh or cry as she nodded and walked downstairs with Fu Huai’an. “Is he together with Little Candy’s mother?”


  There was a rare, joyful look on Fu Huai’an’s face. “I heard Little Candy’s mother’s circling kick nearly broke Tang Zheng’s nose. Even his left ear seemed to have been hurt.”


  This caught Lin Nuan by surprise; although she had long known Little Candy’s mother was brutal, she hadn’t expected her to be this brutal!

  What exactly did Tang Zheng do for Little Candy’s mother to act this brutally towards him…


  Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an’s talking voices became more and more distant. Inside the room, Fu Tianci was frowning hard; how could he convince Lin Nuan to repent and turn back to safety?

  …


  In the dining room, the two kids, Fu Huai’an, and Lin Nuan were already seated, but Fu Tianci was still nowhere to be seen.

  Auntie Li asked Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an in a small voice, “Madam, Sir, it seems like it’s raining outside. Those two bodyguards at the door, why don’t we give them two umbrellas and some food?”


  Auntie Li had a soft heart, so she prepared more food when she was cooking.

  “Auntie Li, you don’t need to worry about this. There will be people taking over their shifts on the dot! Who’s going to stand there and guard me 24/7 like a goon with no sleep at all?” Fu Tianci casually pulled out a chair and sat down.

  Little Candy stared at Fu Tianci curiously, wondering if this was Tuan Tuan’s elder brother.
