It’d be best if they could get the netizens to start reprimanding her as well. The fiercer they got, the harder the slap in the face when it was revealed that Cen Mo was her brother. Just thinking about it made Fang Yan feel great.

  It wasn’t that Fang Yan was looking for trouble, but in this digital age, a person’s reputation wouldn’t be able to soar if they didn’t do something to increase their media presence!

  What Fang Yan wanted was for Lin Nuan to become the queen of hot topics for a prolonged period. If this duration continued on for a long time… Lin Nuan would become a real queen.

  …


  By the time Lin Nuan, Lin Ran, and Cen Mo left the tea house, the bright sky from earlier in the morning had turned gloomy.

  Lin Ran looked at Cen Mo. His compelling aura still pressured her. She tugged at her woolen scarf, covering up her chin and mouth, then put her hands into her pockets to hide her awkwardness. She then said to Cen Mo, “My parents will definitely be delighted if you come to the Lin residence. I’ll see you on the night before the Lunar New Year’s Eve!”


  Lin Ran’s impression of Cen Mo was quite good. At least, she could tell that Cen Mo treated Lin Nuan quite well.

  When they were leaving, he had taken care of Lin Nuan since she was pregnant, pulling out her chair and opening the door for her. When they headed down, he also walked in front of Lin Nuan to protect her. He was really very considerate.

  Sometimes, Lin Ran was really envious of Lin Nuan. Lin Nuan was born to have a better life than her, and even the people around her liked her and took care of her!

  Before Lin Ran left, Lin Nuan suddenly said, “Lin Ran, we’ll have one more elder brother in the future! I believe that Mom and Dad will be very happy to see us getting along harmoniously as a family!”


  Lin Ran looked at Lin Nuan in surprise, not expecting to be included as part of the family. Her ears turned red, and she nodded, a little pridefully. Her tone even sounded a little impatient. “I got it!”


  Cen Mo smiled at Lin Ran and raised his hand to pat her on the head.

  Lin Ran was given a shock, and she shrank her neck back, looking up at the tall Cen Mo. She heard him using his pleasant and mature voice to say, “If there’s anything I don’t do well in the future, let me know. I’ll try… to be a good elder brother!”


  Lin Ran, who hadn’t even been treated so gently by Lin Chen before, had her ears turn even redder. Her small hands that she put in her coat’s pockets heated up, and a layer of sweat formed on them as she nodded. “Alright, I got it!”


  Lin Nuan watched on from the side, noticing that Lin Ran felt at a loss. She smiled and said to Lin Ran, “Brother and I will see you to your car…”


  Lin Ran lowered her head, hiding her mouth under her woolen scarf, and bit down on her lip hard. She thought that… Lin Nuan, who had found her brother, would be like she had been in the past, not wanting her to get close to her brother.

  It might have been because their parents in the Lu family were no longer around, but after finding out that Cen Mo was the child that their parents in the Lu family had searched for all their lives, she unknowingly devoted a portion of her emotions to Cen Mo…


  Therefore, from the moment she saw Cen Mo earlier, she had subtly wanted to get close to him. She also hoped that she could be of help to Cen Mo, relieving her guilt toward Ji Yun.

  However, Cen Mo was now saying that he would try to become a good brother.

  This was very different from what Lin Ran had been expecting, but it made her feel warm inside for some reason.

  Lin Ran turned and walked up to her silvery gray Benz. She turned to look at Lin Nuan and Cen Mo, unknowingly smiled, and then drove off.

  “Let’s go, I’ll send you back!” Cen Mo said.

  Lin Nuan nodded.

  …


  Tuan Tuan, the small gentleman, stayed at home to play host to Little Candy and Little Happy. When he heard the sound of car tires crushing down on rocks, Tuan Tuan shot out at rocket speed. “Mama!”


  Little Candy came out after him.

  When Little Candy saw Lin Nuan getting out of the car, she also ran over, raised her head, looked at Lin Nuan, and asked, “Tuan Tuan’s Mama, Tuan Tuan’s Mama! Tuan Tuan said that there’s a baby in your stomach! Is that true?”


  Lin Nuan bent over and smiled as she rubbed Little Candy’s head. “That’s right!”


  “Is it a baby boy or a baby girl?” Little Candy’s eyes lit up as she asked.

  “The baby is still too young, so we don’t know yet!” Lin Nuan replied patiently.

  “Mama!” Tuan Tuan tugged Lin Nuan’s hand anxiously. “Go home!”


  The kid must have felt that it was too cold outside and wanted to take Lin Nuan inside.

  “Alright, let’s go in first!” Lin Nuan took Little Candy’s hand with one hand and Tuan Tuan’s with the other, then turned to ask Cen Mo, “Do you want to come in and have a seat, or are you going back to accompany Song Yao?”


  “I’ll go back to check on Song Yao!” Cen Mo said.

  Song Yao hadn’t been feeling well since she got off the plane. Although her morning sickness hadn’t been especially serious, Cen Mo couldn’t help but feel worried at the thought of her pale face.

  If it wasn’t because he had to pay respects to his parents with Lin Nuan, Cen Mo wouldn’t have left Song Yao’s side at all.

  “Alright. Be careful on the way back. Send me a message to let me know Song Yao’s condition after you get home!” Lin Nuan smiled and said.

  Lin Nuan was afraid that Song Yao might be sleeping and that she’d disturb her rest if she were to call her.

  “Alright!” Cen Mo nodded.

  “Tuan Tuan, say bye-bye to Uncle!” Lin Nuan said.

  “Bye-bye, Uncle…” The child obediently raised his head and waved at Cen Mo. His pair of dark eyes looked especially beautiful.

  “Alright, bye-bye!” Cen Mo smiled at the kid.

  “Bye-bye, Uncle!” Little Candy also turned and waved at Cen Mo, calling him uncle and giving him a shock.

  However, Cen Mo liked girls in the first place and was more tolerant of them. He replied, “Alright, bye-bye!”


  Little Candy was elated! Right now, she had also gotten the recognition of Tuan Tuan’s uncle, so she was closer to becoming Tuan Tuan’s bride! She cheered herself on secretly.

  After sending Cen Mo off, Lin Nuan took Tuan Tuan and Little Candy’s hands again and entered the house. Little Happy stood at the door, looking at Lin Nuan and saying, “Hello, Tuan Tuan’s Mama!”


  “Hello, Little Happy!”


  Tuan Tuan pulled Lin Nuan over to take a seat, and Little Candy immediately ran off. She picked up a cake that the servants had prepared for the children and squeezed next to Tuan Tuan, raising the cake up to pass it to Lin Nuan. “Tuan Tuan’s Mama, have some cake! If Tuan Tuan’s Mama eats this, it’ll mean that the baby in your stomach has eaten it. That’s what they said on the television shows!”


  The television shows also said that one needed to get into their mother-in-law’s good books!

  Little Happy wasn’t willing to lose out either. He ran off, and not long later, walked back unsteadily with a glass of warm water. He lifted it up and offered it to Lin Nuan. “Tuan Tuan’s Mama, have some water. Papa said that water is especially important to people, and women who are pregnant need to drink more water!”


  Tuan Tuan was surprised. He watched as Little Candy and Little Happy brought cake and water for his mama, stealing his jobs. He stood there, feeling at a loss, blinking his big black eyes and feeling a little aggrieved.

  Lin Nuan saw from the corner of her eye that Tuan Tuan had stiffened up and was standing next to the coffee table. She said to him, “Tuan Tuan, can you help Mama by bringing some fruits over? Thank you…”


  Tuan Tuan nodded vigorously and ran toward the kitchen, looking as if he had received an important order.

  “My papa said that it’s very painful to give birth to a child!” Little Happy was like a curious baby, asking Lin Nuan, “Then, did Tuan Tuan’s Mama feel especially painful when you gave birth to Tuan Tuan back then?”
