  The minute Fu Tianci finished speaking, a car was seen parking at the entrance of the villa.

  Indeed, the two bodyguards originally guarding the door climbed into the car, and another two bodyguards replaced their positions.

  Only then did Auntie Li nod and go to wipe the stove in the kitchen.

  On the dining table, Lin Nuan testingly told Little Candy she might have to stay here for the night; originally, Lin Nuan had thought the kid might resist this idea, might be frightened, might cry… might ask for her mother, might ask her why her mother wasn’t coming to fetch her.

  Unexpectedly, Little Candy’s eyes sparkled. There was a look of excitement on her face as she ebulliently stood on the chair, her hands propped on the dining table, jumping as she nodded. “Okay! Okay!”


  Lin Nuan watched the cheery Little Candy and couldn’t resist praising her. “Little Candy has such a cheerful personality.”


  “Yes! My granny said my personality isn’t oldish like my mother, she said I’m a little delight, the best weapon to liven up an atmosphere! The surrounding air would become vibrant with me around! But my mother said… I should be the biggest sh*t-stirrer in a quiet atmosphere, stinking others around me so that they hop up and down. And then my granny used a feather duster and began whacking my mother!”


  Little Candy’s mouth was moving quickly, and she rattled off all those sentences in one shot, a proud look on her face.

  Lin Nuan couldn’t help laughing out loud. The depressed mood in her heart dissipating into thin air. Even Fu Huai’an couldn’t resist smiling.

  The atmosphere at the dining table had livened up instantly because of Little Candy’s presence.

  Tuan Tuan’s round eyes were fixated on the merrily gesticulating Little Candy, feeling envious of her. If only he could speak so much, would his mother be laughing so happily with him?

  Fu Tianci took a glance at Little Candy and asked, “Do you know the term sh*t-stirrer doesn’t mean anything good?”


  Little Candy turned her head to look at Fu Tianci, her face puzzled…


  “How would a kid know so much? It doesn’t matter so long as she’s happy!” Fu Huai’an picked up his chopsticks and placed a prawn in Lin Nuan’s bowl. “Have an early dinner and rest early…”


  Auntie Li was attentive, having deveined and peeled the prawns before bringing them to the table.

  Lin Nuan nodded. Filming… was indeed tiring.

  In the past, Lin Nuan had never experienced acting, so she didn’t know. This time, Director Chen merely added a few scenes for her, and she was as tired as a dog, so she could only imagine how tiring it was for the main cast.

  When she thought of this, Lin Nuan felt admiration for Su Manman. She was involved in such a tiring and major movie production, and yet every time she appeared in front of people, she was glamorous and vibrant.

  There was no easy occupation, and to make it to the top of an industry was all the more no ordinary feat.

  Fu Tianci glanced at Lin Nuan, and it was unclear whether it was intentional or not. When he saw Fu Huai’an place a prawn in Lin Nuan’s bowl, he nabbed this chance and said, “Actually, Fu Huai’an is pretty good, is he not?”


  Although Fu Tianci didn’t address to whom he was speaking, everyone could tell it was directed at Lin Nuan.

  Fu Huai’an glanced at Fu Tianci, wondering what was up with this kid today.

  Seeing Lin Nuan look in his direction, Fu Tianci set down his chopsticks and banged on Fu Huai’an’s strengths. “Although Fu Huai’an is normally busy with work and doesn’t have much time to accompany you, but look, the moment he got off work, he’s back! Although he appeared to be more serious, he treats you incredibly well. Anyway, I’ve never seen Fu Huai’an place food in other people’s bowls other than Tuan Tuan’s.”


  Fu Huai’an was rendered speechless.

  Lin Nuan was speechless too.

  Fu Tianci was speaking incoherently, and while Lin Nuan couldn’t figure out what he was trying to say, she still nodded. And then?

  Fu Tianci felt himself panic a little. He didn’t dare to put his words across too blatantly, but at the same time, he feared Lin Nuan might not understand his words if he put it too subtly. Hence, he picked up his chopsticks and pretended like he was casually chatting…


  “I feel that men should be mature and stable. Those young little gigolos know how to sweet-talk women, but most of them are liars! Plus, men should possess a height and stature like Fu Huai’an to give one a sense of security! Those who are too short or too young… especially those shorter than girls, are a bad choice, don’t you agree?”


  Lin Nuan turned her head and sneaked a glance at Fu Huai’an. Was Fu Tianci confessing to Fu Huai’an here?

  “You’ve fallen for a girl taller than you?” Fu Huai’an looked at the unnatural Fu Tianci and guessed that Fu Tianci might have fallen for a taller girl but was too embarrassed to ask directly, so he was beating around the bush, pretending he was merely casually chatting with them.

  Fu Tianci widened his eyes, his expression that of having just seen a ghost. “I did not!”


  “Oh! I know!” Little Candy raised her hand all of a sudden, her chubby little index finger pointing at Fu Tianci as she yelled, “Is Tuan Tuan’s brother confessing to Tuan Tuan’s father?”


  Tuan Tuan looked up at Little Candy, who had stood up on her chair, then with his slow reflexes followed the direction of her finger and looked towards Fu Tianci.

  Fu Tianci’s ears had turned red. He angrily shouted at Little Candy, “Little sh*t-stirrer, what do you know! Shut up and eat your rice!”


  Tuan Tuan then muddleheadedly turned his head towards the smug-looking Little Candy.

  Little Candy, who was accustomed to brutal treatment, didn’t mind being howled at by Fu Tianci at all; this was a small case compared to her mother and her slippers.

  So Little Candy cheerily declared, “So I was right!”


  Fu Tianci was at a loss for words.

  Where did this darned kid come from, could he just throw her out?

  “Do you believe I’ll thrash you?” Fu Tianci threatened Little Candy.

  The minute Little Candy heard this, she recalled what her granny would say when her mother was about to thrash her, and she immediately stood on her stool and bravely pointed a finger at Fu Tianci. “Granny said that this is called flying into a rage out of humiliation!”


  Lin Nuan was a little surprised to hear Little Candy even knew such a difficult phrase. “Little Candy, you even know such a difficult phrase?”


  Little Candy’s chest puffed up, a smug look on her face.

  Fu Tianci was at a loss for words.

  So did Lin Nuan understand what he was trying to say? Fu Tianci had a glum look on his face.

  Seeing the glum-looking Fu Tianci with his lips pursed, who didn’t talk again, Tuan Tuan nodded his head. So he was indeed confessing to Papa!

  Tuan Tuan then nervously straightened his back and slid down from his chair, bouncing to Fu Huai’an’s front and grabbing his thigh with both hands, tiptoeing on his short little legs as he attempted to climb into Fu Huai’an’s embrace with much difficulty. His little hand was gripping the front of Fu Huai’an’s home clothes, gazing at Fu Huai’an with a look of seriousness. “Papa!”


  Fu Huai’an thought that Fu Tianci was indeed flying into a rage out of humiliation, unwilling for others to bring up the fact that he had fallen for a girl taller than he was. Fu Huai’an saw a nervous-looking Tuan Tuan, then nodded. “En, like you the best!”


  Tuan Tuan was brought up singlehandedly by Fu Huai’an, so Fu Huai’an knew every expression of his.

  Upon hearing Fu Huai’an’s words, Tuan Tuan smiled joyfully, his chubby and fair little face revealing a wide smile. “Tuan Tuan, like Papa, Mama the best!”
