Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
Tuan Tuan got into a fight at the kindergarten, whereas these two elders got into a fight at the hospital, this was totally… There was a saying that goes, the older a person gets, the more he or she behaves like a kid.
Lin Nuan entered the elevator, and Tang Zheng said, “Then, Sis-in-law, I won’t be sending you…”
“How did you get here?” Fu Huai’an asked Lin Nuan suddenly.
“Uncle Hu drove me here!” Lin Nuan replied.
Fu Huai’an nodded. With one arm carrying Tuan Tuan, he pressed the button to the elevator with the other hand. “In that case, give Uncle Hu a call, tell him to send Chu Xun back. Chu Xun’s car broke down! You and Tuan Tuan come with me to visit Little Candy!”
Lin Nuan smiled and nodded. She knew Fu Huai’an’s intention was to avoid Chu Xun.
Tang Zheng watched them outside the elevator and didn’t make a sound, his face making it clear he was enjoying the show.
Chu Xun’s car had broken down the moment she ran into Huai’an. How frightening must Fu Huai’an be to frighten her car into a broken-down state?
Chu Xun’s face was pale…
Fu Huai’an turned around and said to Chu Xun, “Tang Zheng’s daughter is hospitalized. We’re going over to take a look, so let the chauffeur send you back first!”
“Tang Zheng’s daughter is hospitalized?” Chu Xun appeared shocked and worried. “Then I’ll come along to take a look at her!”
Tang Zheng laughed. Chu Xun wasn’t stupid; this was obviously her acting oblivious. For Fu Huai’an, she had disregarded her face entirely—was there still meaning to this?
Tang Zheng reached out and helped to block the elevator. Fu Huai’an exited with Tuan Tuan in one of his arms, and his other hand was holding Lin Nuan’s hand. Chu Xun followed closely behind with her shoulder bag. Seeing this scene, Tang Zheng couldn’t resist speaking up…
“Miss Chu is charitable indeed. You rush to visit anyone’s kid who gets injured! I’ll have to rub this in Lu Jinnan’s face. Little Candy is hospitalized, and all he cares about is his Xiao Bai Nian… After saying it’s not a big deal for kids to get into a fight, he left just like that! What a heartless jerk! Not like our little Tuan Tuan… When he found out Little Candy was hospitalized, he specifically asked Sis-in-law to come and visit Little Candy with her favorite family bucket!”
“It’s Bai Xiaonian…” Lin Nuan corrected Tang Zheng.
Previously, Tang Zheng had made things difficult for Lin Nuan over the business lunch using his influence as a sponsor, so Lin Nuan knew how foulmouthed Tang Zheng could be. How could he not be when he hung around Lu Jinnan?
Lin Nuan didn’t need to say anything. Lin Nuan felt that Tang Zheng’s combat power was far stronger than hers; it was almost as if Fu Huai’an was his husband!
Chu Xun had initially thought that since she was going to visit Tang Zheng’s daughter, Tang Zheng would have no reason to slap a smiling person like that. It turned out that Tang Zheng didn’t give her any face at all.
He had made it clear that Lin Nuan had come to visit with Tuan Tuan because Tuan Tuan wanted to visit Little Candy! Even Lu Jinnan, who was so chummy with Tang Zheng, didn’t come to visit Little Candy, so all the more, Chu Xun had no reason to be there.
But since Chu Xun had already said she would go, she couldn’t very well simply turn around and leave. She could only brace herself and follow them to the ward. The bag in Chu Xun’s hands was about to be crushed by her though.
Although she wasn’t on close terms with Tang Zheng, they had, after all, eaten a meal at the same table before. Tang Zheng had also spoken up for her when she was ridiculed by others previously, so Chu Xun thought they were something like friends. She hadn’t expected Tang Zheng to disregard her feelings entirely through his speech.
Chu Xun felt embarrassed, but she could still steady herself. She managed to stick behind Fu Huai’an as they went to visit Little Candy, and she didn’t turn around to leave mid-way.
However, when Chu Xun looked up to see Fu Huai’an with Tuan Tuan in one hand and Lin Nuan’s hand in the other, she felt as if needles were pricking her heart.
Lin Nuan felt weird having someone stare at her from behind, so she gripped Fu Huai’an’s large hand with more force. Fu Huai’an returned the gesture, and not only did he grip harder, but he also used his thumb to rub against Lin Nuan’s hand.
Although she hadn’t been married to Fu Huai’an for long, there was a silent convention between them; she knew Fu Huai’an was deliberately trying to ditch Chu Xun.
Lin Nuan didn’t utter a sound as she accompanied Fu Huai’an to visit Little Candy.
Tang Zheng didn’t introduce Chu Xun, and You Nainai didn’t ask either. Chu Xun just stood there awkwardly…
Lin Nuan saw You Nainai glance at Chu Xun, then at her, as if wanting to ask. But Lin Nuan was no saint and had no intention of introducing Chu Xun to You Nainai. Fu Huai’an and Tang Zheng hadn’t spared Chu Xun the embarrassment, so why should she be the nice one and save Chu Xun from the embarrassment?
She wasn’t sure whether there was fury in her heart because of work or Lu Qili or what, but Lin Nuan felt that her temper was becoming worse.
Lin Nuan smiled at You Nainai but didn’t say anything.
Little Candy didn’t hide how much she liked Fu Huai’an. Tang Zheng felt heartbroken seeing this, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He watched as Little Candy sat on the bed and pitifully wheedled in front of Fu Huai’an. “Tuan Tuan’s Papa, can I stay at your house when I’ve recovered?”
Fu Huai’an smiled and nodded. “Ok…”
Little Candy’s eyes lit up instantly, her little face serious. “Tuan Tuan’s Papa is the best papa in the world. If you were my father, that would be great!”
When Tuan Tuan heard this, he subconsciously tightened his hold around Fu Huai’an’s neck. Although he didn’t say a word, he obviously meant that his papa was his and that he wouldn’t give him up to her.
Tang Zheng was speechless.
His daughter was stabbing at his heart directly! She kept calling this biological father of hers “clueless uncle,” whereas, with Fu Huai’an, she addressed him as “Tuan Tuan’s Papa, Tuan Tuan’s Papa.” She even wished that Fu Huai’an was her father, clearly warmed up to him.
Who said daughters were most caring towards their fathers? Why did his caring daughter come with thorns… thorns that pierced right at his heart!
You Nainai almost couldn’t bear to look at Tang Zheng’s sad eyes. On the other hand though, she got a kick out of seeing him in this state.
Only when Chu Xun was about to leave did she say hello to Little Candy and tell her to recuperate well.
After Chu Xun entered the elevator with Fu Huai’an and his family, she heard Fu Huai’an ask Lin Nuan, “Which day are you recording ‘A Sunday Date?’ I plan to take you and Tuan Tuan out to sea for a few days. Let’s see which days can fit into your schedule…”
She had the vague sense Fu Huai’an was deliberately asking this in front of Chu Xun.
Through the mirror in the elevator, Lin Nuan saw Chu Xun’s darkened expression.
Lin Nuan smiled and said, “In the future, I won’t need to record ‘A Sunday Date’ anymore, as I’ve been removed from the program. For the time being, the station doesn’t have any plans for me, so I take it that the station is giving me a break for now. Is that right, President Chu?”
Chu Xun’s grip on her bag tightened. She held back the sensation of her racing heart and nodded. “Yes, no plans for now.”
Lin Nuan smiled and nodded, then said to Fu Huai’an, “Then I can go anytime. We can also take a leave of absence with the kindergarten anytime. So now, it only depends on your schedule.”
“You were doing fine on the program, so why were you removed?” Fu Huai’an ignored Chu Xun and only asked Lin Nuan.
