Lin Nuan glanced over at the washroom on the first floor. The water was still running, so she tried to calm her heart down and said softly, “I’m really reluctant to do it, but I’ll have a look at you… in the surprise that you brought back for me from France!”
Fu Huai’an’s gaze darkened, and he tightened his hold on Lin Nuan’s arm as he pulled her in front of him. “You’re reluctant?”
“Yeah…” Lin Nuan nodded. “I’m afraid the sight will be too beautiful!”
The two of them stared at each other, and Lin Nuan couldn’t hold back the smile on her face. When she heard the water stop running, she passed the plastic bags in her hand to Fu Huai’an. “Help me out, Sir Fu!”
Fu Huai’an gazed into his wife’s mischievous eyes as he took the plastic bags. He then walked towards the kitchen.
Upon seeing Fu Tianci and Tuan Tuan walk out of the restroom, Lin Nuan bent down and placed a bag of snacks on the coffee table. “You and Tuan Tuan can watch some TV while I help Huai’an in the kitchen. The food will be ready soon!”
Fu Tianci’s ears instantly flushed as soon as he heard that Fu Huai’an was personally cooking for them today. He averted his eyes to the coat on the back of the couch and nodded. “Okay!”
Auntie Li knew that Mr. and Mrs. Fu wanted to prepare dinner by themselves today, so she had already tidied up the villa and returned to her home next door. As Auntie Li made a cup of tea and comfortably watched TV, she couldn’t help but worry about whether Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an would be done by dinner time and whether Tuan Tuan would go hungry.
Fu Tianci held the remote and lay against the armrest of the couch with his chin propped up on his hand. He was distracted and kept looking in the direction of the dining room. He knew that he couldn’t see the kitchen from there, but he couldn’t help it.
He switched channels several times. Tuan Tuan, who sat beside him, turned and stretched his neck to look at Fu Tianci. He didn’t know what Fu Tianci wanted to watch.
Fu Tianci noticed the tiny child looking at him and side-eyed him. He cleared his throat and sat upright, looking as if he wanted to set an example for Tuan Tuan. “Tuan Tuan, what do you want to watch? Peppa Pig or Katuri—or is it Katari?”
Tuan Tuan shook his head. Fu Tianci didn’t understand what that meant and raised an eyebrow. “Then what do you want to watch? Boonie Bears?”
“Childish…” Tuan Tuan replied obediently.
Fu Tianci was at a loss for words.
Childish? But he always watched those shows at home, and he found them very interesting!
Fu Tianci touched his nose awkwardly with his finger. His phone vibrated, and he passed the remote to Tuan Tuan. “You can watch whatever you want to watch!”
Tuan Tuan nodded and switched to the Animal World channel with ease.
Fu Tianci was at a loss for words.
He took out his phone and glanced at the screen. It was a text from Mu Mantong.
‘Mu Mantong: Tianci, what time will you arrive home? I’m waiting for you at the Fu manor, and I want to talk to you about Fu Huai’an.’
Fu Tianci raised an eyebrow. Why did she want to talk to him about Fu Huai’an? She didn’t know Fu Huai’an well, so what would there be to talk about?
Taking into account that Mu Mantong lacked self-confidence due to her physical disability, Fu Tianci didn’t use any harsh words in his reply to her.
‘Fu Tianci: I’m eating at Fu Huai’an’s place, and I might not go back tonight. Go home and rest early!’
A while later, Fu Tianci’s phone vibrated, and there was the sound of an incoming message.
Fu Tianci had been watching Animal World with Tuan Tuan. He picked up his phone and glanced at the screen…
‘Mu Mantong: (Image) I made a cake for the first time to celebrate you winning the match. I’ll let the housekeeper put it in the fridge. Remember to eat it when you get back, okay?’
In the photo was the cake that Mu Mantong made for Fu Tianci.
Mu Mantong knew all along that Fu Tianci was a soft-hearted person. She thought that if she sent the photo to him, Fu Tianci would definitely come back…
Fu Tianci saw the cake on Mu Mantong’s lap. He definitely felt touched, but when he remembered that Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan were preparing dinner for him in the kitchen, he began to think deeply.
He had already typed out his reply and was about to send it, but he deleted everything again…
He was cautious with the way he treated Mu Mantong. She already lacked self-confidence because she couldn’t walk. If he told her not to do something like this because it was difficult for her to move around, he would definitely injure her pride.
Fu Tianci pondered some more before his slender fingers danced over the virtual keyboard on the screen of his phone…
‘Fu Tianci: Thank you. Go back and rest early!’
He set his phone aside and held onto Tuan Tuan’s head with his slender fingers. He could hear the sound of the cooking hood from the kitchen, and he smiled. Clearly in a good mood, he hummed a tune as he opened the Weibo app. He was about to make a post on his Weibo account to express how happy he felt.
Before he could edit the post, he heard a phone ringing from somewhere. Fu Tianci turned around and tried to figure out where the sound was coming from…
“Fu Tianci, my phone’s on top of the shoe cabinet. Help get it for me!”
Lin Nuan called out from the kitchen. Fu Tianci answered and jogged over to the shoe cabinet to grab Lin Nuan’s phone before walking into the kitchen.
Fu Tianci saw that Lin Nuan was cutting up vegetables and asked, “It’s a call from Sister Yan… do you want to answer it?”
Lin Nuan put down the knife. She was about to wash her hands and answer the call, but Fu Tianci had already answered it for her. He stood over the counter and placed the phone at Lin Nuan’s ear.
Lin Nuan looked up to see that the tips of Fu Tianci’s ears had reddened and that he had averted his eyes to stare at the counter. She smiled faintly. “Sister Yan!”
“Don’t look at the mess on Weibo and ruin your mood. Don’t worry… give me a couple of hours, and I’ll definitely sort things out!” Fang Yan’s anger could be heard in her sharp and clear voice.
Fu Tianci vaguely heard what Fang Yan said and frowned as he looked towards Lin Nuan.
“I haven’t been looking at Weibo…” Lin Nuan replied honestly.
“Then don’t! You can look two hours later to save your frustration!”
Fang Yan was seething with rage inside. A C- or D-list celebrity dared to bully someone managed by her! If she didn’t teach that female supporting character of “The Exorcist,” Lei Mengqing, a lesson, her surname wouldn’t be Fang.
Fang Yan got to work after hanging up. Lin Nuan was puzzled—she didn’t understand what was going on!
Lin Nuan was tempted to look at Weibo after what Fang Yan said, but she was also worried that it would really ruin her mood. Therefore, she resisted the urge to do it and prepared dinner with Fu Huai’an, asking Fu Tianci to take her phone out.
Lin Nuan resisted the urge to look at Weibo, but that didn’t mean that Fu Tianci, who heard Fang Yan’s irritated voice, could.
Fu Tianci curled up on the sofa and didn’t even publish his own Weibo post. Instead, he searched for “Lin Nuan” on the app.
Soon enough, the video of Lin Nuan and the cast of “The Exorcist” participating in a variety show appeared in the search results…
When a program was filmed, the production crew would upload some clips from the live broadcast using the official Weibo account to let everyone anticipate the upcoming episode and increase viewership ratings.
Besides the clip of Song Cheng finding strangers for the game and coincidentally bumping into Best Actress Zhang Ruomin, who was out shopping, clips of Lin Nuan and the other guests participating in the drinking game were also purposefully uploaded online.
Some netizens saw the clip of Lin Nuan and the female supporting character of “The Exorcist” taking part in the drinking game. While praising the female supporting character for her professionalism, they bashed Lin Nuan for pretending that she couldn’t drink. Xiao Mengqing was able to finish her beer at one go even though she couldn’t drink, while Lin Nuan couldn’t finish hers within the amount of time given. Her acting was overdone, and she looked too fake!
