  Lin Nuan had initially feared that Liang Mulan would be too busy over this, but Liang Mulan had said that she wanted to help Lin Nuan prepare for this wedding seriously. She said that she wanted to go through the procedure properly so that… when Lin Ran got married in the future, she would be experienced and wouldn’t be flustered.

  So, in the end, Lin Nuan didn’t stop her from helping out. All the matters were taken care of by Liang Mulan, Little Lu, and Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing. Even if Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan wanted to interfere, they had no room to do so.

  Every time Lin Nuan wanted to ask how the progress was, Liang Mulan and Aunt Blessing and Uncle Blessing would tell her to just focus on being a beautiful bride…


  Bai Xiaonian felt envious listening to Lin Nuan. This was perhaps what it felt like to have a mother who would fear you’d get tired and take care of all matters for you!

  She thought of her own mother. Bai Xiaonian then revealed her true intention for showing up today. “Nuan Nuan, after attending your wedding, I’m going to go to America!”


  Hearing this, Fu Huai’an looked up to see Bai Xiaonian, whose eyes had reddened slightly.

  Tuan Tuan held onto his little bowl with one hand and shoved a spoonful of porridge into his mouth with the other hand, making a mess around his mouth…


  Lin Nuan knew that Bai Xiaonian had stayed until then in order to attend her wedding.

  She clearly knew that Bai Xiaonian was taking a step closer to her dreams by doing this. She also knew that America wasn’t that far and could be reached by plane!

  But when she heard Bai Xiaonian say that she was leaving Haicheng, Lin Nuan couldn’t help feeling heartache.

  She sorted out her emotions, then smiled at Bai Xiaonian. “When are you leaving? I’ll send you off…”


  Bai Xiaonian shifted her gaze from Lin Nuan’s vision and doodled on the dining room table with a finger, her lowered eyelashes hiding the hurt and despair in her eyes as she smiled with her lips. “The afternoon of your wedding day!”


  Lin Nuan’s smile froze. Why the hurry?

  “Is it not too… rushed?” Lin Nuan sounded a little choked up. “You… are you all prepared? It’s such a rush!”


  “I’ve long wanted to go there. I’ve been sticking around because of your wedding! So that I can be your bridesmaid!” Bai Xiaonian propped up her chin with one hand and looked at Lin Nuan, a cheerful expression on her face. “I want to see my Nuan Nuan put on a wedding gown. I want to marry you off!”


  Seeing Lin Nuan’s eyes slightly reddened, Fu Huai’an said, “I’ll take Tuan Tuan out after breakfast. You and Bai Xiaonian can have a good chat…”


  Tuan Tuan still remembered the snowball fight that Lin Nuan had promised him. He tugged at Lin Nuan’s clothes pitifully and reminded her, “Snowball fight!”


  Fu Huai’an looked in Tuan Tuan’s direction. “Papa will play with you!”


  Tuan Tuan nodded, his eyes bright and sparkling.

  Knowing that Fu Huai’an was doing this in consideration of the fact that she had much to say to her best friend, Lin Nuan felt touched.

  …


  After breakfast, Lin Nuan helped Tuan Tuan put on thick clothes and a hat, gloves, and scarf. Tuan Tuan stood there obediently while she was doing so. Before heading out the door, Tuan Tuan recalled that he hadn’t checked out his presents in the stockings. So, the dumpling-like Tuan Tuan moved clumsily back into the house like a little duck, nearly managing to reach his presents before Fu Huai’an lifted him up and walked back towards the door with Tuan Tuan under his armpit…


  “Look at them when you’re back!”


  Tuan Tuan, who was held under Fu Huai’an’s armpit, left the house with a muddled look on his face.

  Hearing the door close, Bai Xiaonian suddenly held Lin Nuan around her neck and winked. “I got here at 9:30 this morning, and you were still asleep. Tell me honestly, did you make merry with Fu Huai’an last night until the break of dawn?”


  “Bai Xiaonian, can you be more decent?” Lin Nuan glared at Bai Xiaonian with reddened ears.

  The minute Tuan Tuan left, Bai Xiaonian revealed her true form.

  “I say, Nuan Nuan, has no one ever told you that you blush when you get exposed?” Bai Xiaonian couldn’t hide the glee in her eyes. “It seems like Fu Huai’an has serviced you quite well!”


  Bai Xiaonian gently pinched Lin Nuan’s cheeks. “Tsk tsk… look at how moisturized your face is. Look at this figure! How envious I am!”


  Lin Nuan glowered at Bai Xiaonian, then turned to walk towards the kitchen…


  Bai Xiaonian limped towards the shoe cabinet and picked up the Christmas present she brought for Lin Nuan, then followed her into the kitchen. “Right right… I have brought you your Christmas present! Do you want to take a look? I guarantee both you and Fu Huai’an will like it!”


  Hearing Bai Xiaonian put it that way, Lin Nuan knew that it wasn’t a great present. She rolled her eyes at Bai Xiaonian, then revealed a thanks-but-no-thanks expression. “No thanks! Please take it back and enjoy it yourself! I shan’t bother giving you your Christmas present!”


  At the mention of her Christmas present, Bai Xiaonian quickened her pace to catch up, her eyes lighting up. “Exchange, exchange! Believe me! You’ll surely like it! Open it and see for yourself if you don’t believe me!”


  She forcefully stuffed the present into the arms of Lin Nuan, who was about to clear away the dishes. Bai Xiaonian gazed at Lin Nuan with a look of anticipation. “Where’s my Christmas present? We exchange presents every year! You can’t deny me mine!”


  Lin Nuan looked up at Bai Xiaonian’s exquisite and beautiful features and recalled that she would be leaving for America after her wedding. She felt her heart ache a little.

  Every year, Bai Xiaonian, Lin Nuan, and Song Yao would exchange Christmas presents. In fact, not just Christmas, but on every holiday…


  She remembered how, when she left the Lin family, Bai Xiaonian and Song Yao would always find all sorts of excuses to shower her with presents, all of which were items Lin Nuan needed but didn’t have the financial means to buy herself!

  They protected Lin Nuan’s pride in the name of holidays and had never helped Lin Nuan with a charitable attitude.

  “Open it, open it! You’ll surely like it!” Bai Xiaonian looked impatient.

  Seeing the excited look in Bai Xiaonian’s eyes, even though Lin Nuan knew she was up to no good with this present, she still satisfied Bai Xiaonian, sitting down and taking out the present from the packaging.

  Lin Nuan looked testingly at Bai Xiaonian and only saw Bai Xiaonian staring at the gift box excitedly…


  Holding back a smile, Lin Nuan halted in her action of opening the present. She lifted the gift box to her ear and shook it, then asked, “What’s inside? Don’t tell me it’s some sort of prank toy!”


  “Lin Nuan, am I that childish?” Bai Xiaonian sat down beside Lin Nuan and glared at her. “Quick, open it and see if you like it!”


  Lin Nuan nodded and opened the gift box, then shot an I-knew-it look at Bai Xiaonian. Still, her ears had turned awfully red.

  “How is it, how is it? Isn’t it adorable?” Bai Xiaonian picked up the rabbit ears hairband from the box and put it on Lin Nuan.

  Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

  Bai Xiaonian’s tastes… were exactly like Xie Jingqian’s.

  “So adorable!” Bai Xiaonian looked at Lin Nuan, who had the rabbit ears hairband on. She felt her blood turn hot as she imagined how Lin Nuan would look with the kinky rabbit lingerie. “Your breasts are so big! With your boobs looking like they’re about to spill out in this costume, you’ll look so seductive! Your Mr. Fu will surely be unable to resist it when he sees you in this costume! He’ll surely make you so blissful in bed and be unable to stop! Hahaha…”


  “I’m blissful enough already! Keep this costume for yourself!” Lin Nuan removed the rabbit ears and placed them back into the box.
