Lin Nuan looked toward the fat cat, which also lifted its head and looked at her with its round eyes. It meowed docilely and then licked its lips as it kept its eyes on Lin Nuan.
Right now, this big, fat, and smart cat had already realized that Lin Nuan was the female owner in this family, and its attitude toward her was a lot better now. This was especially so because Lin Nuan knew how to play with cats and let them feel comfortable. Naturally, the big fat cat would like Lin Nuan more.
Lin Nuan cut a piece of watermelon and put it to Kitty Cat’s mouth. Kitty Cat tilted its head and sniffed then licked to taste the watermelon. It then carefully avoided Lin Nuan’s fingers, picked up the watermelon with its mouth, wrapped its tail around itself, and lowered its head to eat the watermelon.
Lin Nuan had finished cutting up the fruit platter. She rinsed the knife, washed her hands, and then brought the plate out to the living room. The moment she entered, she saw that Tuan Tuan’s small and fair face had a big black cross drawn on it.
The simplified version of Monopoly was more suited for children to play, and during the time Lin Nuan had taken to cut fruits, Tuan Tuan had already lost one round, and Fu Huai’an had used a brush to draw a big cross on his face.
Seeing that Tuan Tuan looked determined to win and was planning to start another round, Fu Huai’an said, “If you lose again, then you’ll get panda eyes drawn on!”
Tuan Tuan said seriously, “En!”
In the end, after the games were over, Tuan Tuan had two panda eyes and two crosses drawn on his small face, appearing like a cute little panda. Since Lin Nuan couldn’t bear to see Tuan Tuan losing so badly, she also helped him receive the punishment and had two panda eyes drawn on her…
Tuan Tuan looked at Lin Nuan, and Lin Nuan looked at Tuan Tuan. Both of them couldn’t stop laughing.
Fu Huai’an was in a perfect mood and took a picture of the two of them with his phone, posting on Weibo, which was something unprecedented.
[@Lin Nuan’s husband: Lost too badly…]
It was followed by a photo of Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan’s faces that were put closely against each other.
Less than half an hour after the Weibo post was published, Fu Huai’an’s Weibo account was filled with comments from people who found Tuan Tuan and Lin Nuan too adorable.
Some people cried out that Fu Huai’an was too much. How could he bear to do such terrible things to his adorable son and beautiful wife?
…
That night, Lin Nuan, Fu Huai’an, and Tuan Tuan played around until very late before they went to sleep.
The Lin family had a grand birthday banquet thrown for Old Madam Lin, and the family also turned in very late that night.
However, people found it surprising that Lin Jingquan’s wife, Liang Mulan, as well as their daughter, Lin Ran, didn’t appear at Old Madam Lin’s birthday banquet.
When people asked where Liang Mulan and Lin Ran were, Lin Jingquan said proudly that Liang Mulan had accompanied their daughter Lin Ran to attend her interview at the University of Sheffield. Everyone congratulated Lin Jingquan, and some people praised Old Madam Lin and Old Master Lin for having brought up their granddaughter well.
Such a scene inevitably led to Old Madam Lin recalling the granddaughter that she had in the past, Lin Nuan.
In the past, Lin Nuan would always stay by Old Madam Lin’s side in all the banquets held by the Lin family, regardless of the size. She would remain poised and dignified, winning countless people’s praises. Old Madam Lin would also feel honored every time. After all, Lin Nuan’s poise and dignity were also partially contributed by Old Madam Lin…
Not to boast, but Old Madam Lin felt that the Lin Nuan that she had nurtured could be said to be a model lady in Haicheng.
Hearing people’s praises for Lin Ran made Old Madam Lin think of Lin Nuan, feeling that a lifetime had passed!
Old Madam Lin had never been close to Lin Ran. Therefore, when other people praised her, Old Madam Lin merely smiled and said that Lin Ran’s mother had taught her well. She didn’t dare to claim the credit.
At the banquet, Old Madam Lin asked Lin Chen if Lin Nuan would be coming.
Lin Chen kept silent for a very long time before he said that Lin Nuan’s husband had gotten someone to send over a gift…
Old Madam Lin was stunned for a moment before she remembered that Lin Nuan was already married.
Since Lin Nuan’s husband had sent someone to bring over a gift, then Lin Nuan definitely wouldn’t be coming!
Old Madam Lin grabbed onto her cane with both hands and sat there in her Chinese clothing. She pursed her lips, and subtle feelings of grief flashed in the depths of her eyes. When more people came to congratulate her later on, Old Madam Lin returned to her room to rest as she was feeling too tired…
Liang Mulan wasn’t around, and after Lin Jinghui’s wife passed away very early, he hadn’t remarried. Therefore, there wasn’t a female host to attend to the guests. The eldest son Lin Jingquan and the second son Lin Jinghui had been the ones busy attending to the matters at the banquet.
Lin Nuan only had a brief understanding of the birthday banquet by reading the “Haicheng News Flash” online. When she found out that Old Madam Lin had gone off to rest in the latter half of the banquet, she didn’t feel good.
She hoped that Old Madam Lin would be able to stay healthy and would be able to… appreciate Lin Ran just as she had appreciated her back then.
This would make everyone feel a little better.
…
The next day, Fu Tianci’s engagement party started at 7 pm.
Tuan Tuan, who had the day off, helped Lin Nuan pick a chiffon gown with golden embroidery. The design with three-dimensional embroidery was very striking.
In the current weather, the gown wasn’t overly revealing. It was a long dress. The quality of the chiffon material was excellent, and the dress had a V-neck and was very close-fitting, perfectly bringing out Lin Nuan’s figure. It made her look very graceful, dignified, and attractive.
Tuan Tuan wore a suit and sat on the stool in the closet. He watched as Fu Huai’an flipped up his shirt’s collar, hung his tie around his neck, and then picked out a set of cufflinks. He put on the cufflinks while looking in Lin Nuan’s direction.
The zipper on Lin Nuan’s back was caught in the chiffon at the hemline, so it was very difficult to pull it up…
“Let me…” Fu Huai’an walked up behind her, put on his cufflinks, and then helped Lin Nuan pull down the zipper a little before pulling it up smoothly.
Lin Nuan wasn’t wearing high heels and had to hold up her dress as she turned. She saw that the tie that Fu Huai’an had hung around his neck was still undone and naturally helped him tie it.
Tuan Tuan sat there, shaking his short legs and grinning happily as he watched Mama help Papa with his tie. He propped himself up on the leather stool with his two hands and stood up, clapping very loudly.
Tuan Tuan’s claps sounded especially loud in the closet.
Lin Nuan threw a glance in Tuan Tuan’s direction and smiled. Her long hair was draping off her shoulders, and her ears appeared a little red. She helped Fu Huai’an with his tie and then tiptoed to flip down his collar.
Fu Huai’an turned and said to Tuan Tuan, “Bring Papa’s watch over…”
Tuan Tuan nodded as he received the order. His hands propped onto the stool, and he slid off, running over and bringing back the watch that Lin Nuan had gifted Fu Huai’an with precision. He raised both his hands up and handed it to Fu Huai’an.
Fu Huai’an took the watch and put it on his wrist, saying, “Bring over Papa’s present for Mama!”
Present?
Lin Nuan looked at Fu Huai’an in surprise.
Tuan Tuan clearly knew about this and nodded, running out of the closet.
Truthfully, there was no woman who wouldn’t feel happy to be receiving a gift. Lin Nuan naturally felt delighted.
“What is it?” Lin Nuan couldn’t help but ask Fu Huai’an.
Fu Huai’an took the suit, put it on smartly, and arranged his sleeves. “You’ll definitely like it…”
Fu Huai’an didn’t reveal anything, which made Lin Nuan even more curious. “Why so mysterious?”
Tuan Tuan came running in, bringing Papa’s present for Mama. He tiptoed, raised the present over his head, and handed it to Fu Huai’an. Thereafter, he stood docilely at the side, watching with his head raised.
