Chapter 820: Before Finally Agreeing

Lin Nuan shook her head. “No, I’ve already rejected him. Although this is a good deed, if it implicates you and the Kaide Corporation, then I’m absolutely not willing…”

Fu Huai’an couldn’t conceal the smile in his eyes.

During dinner, a servant brought Lin Nuan a beverage, a cup of water boiled with peanut skins, with red dates and rock sugar added. It tasted bitter and astringent. If it weren’t for the sweetened taste, Lin Nuan definitely wouldn’t have been able to drink it!

After several mouthfuls, Lin Nuan set it aside, having no intention of touching it again.

Auntie Li took the chance to educate Tuan Tuan. “You need to eat properly and not be picky about food. Just look at how awful your mama is feeling drinking that tea!”

Tuan Tuan’s little brows furrowed together. He raised his practice chopsticks and asked Lin Nuan, “Taste awful?”

Lin Nuan nodded, cooperating with Auntie Li. “Especially awful! But I must finish drinking it. It’s so bitter…”

Tuan Tuan frowned even harder. He slid down his chair and bounced to Lin Nuan with a tense face. He used his hands and legs to climb up the chair next to Lin Nuan, then stood on it and reached a hand out to Lin Nuan. “Drink for Mama!”

Hearing this from Tuan Tuan, Lin Nuan was surprised, but more than anything, she was touched.

She stroked Tuan Tuan’s head. “Mama needs to drink it herself for it to be effective!”

Hearing this, Tuan Tuan slid down the chair and bounced to the kitchen. After a moment, he ran back shakily to Lin Nuan’s side with a box of dried fruits. The preserved fruit he was hugging to his chest had spilled quite a bit. He raised it high and stood on his tiptoes to hand it to Lin Nuan.

Subsequently, for the rest of the meal, Lin Nuan didn’t touch the peanut beverage again.

Fu Huai’an wiped his mouth with a napkin in a relaxed manner. “Tuan Tuan already brought you preserved fruits…”

Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

In the end, Lin Nuan still finished drinking the large cup under Fu Huai’an’s watchful eyes!

Perhaps because he had slept a bit in Lin Nuan’s arms that afternoon, but by the time night fell, Tuan Tuan was still energetic. It was already his bedtime, yet the little one still dragged Fu Huai’an to play with the remote plane with him in the living room.

At eight-thirty, Lin Nuan received Liang Mulan’s call right on time. She was calling to ask Lin Nuan about her injured arm.

Ever since Liang Mulan came to know about Lin Nuan’s injury, she called every day. The past few days, when Fu Huai’an wasn’t around and when Lin Nuan was recuperating at home, Liang Mulan nearly went to the Fu residence every day to brew soup for Lin Nuan and take care of her…

It was the day Lin Jingquan and Liang Mulan returned to the Lin family mansion to accompany Old Master Lin and Old Madam Lin, so she didn’t come!

When Liang Mulan returned home at night, she was still worried and thus called Lin Nuan to ask about her condition.

“Mom, don’t worry about me. My arm is fine, it just feels a little itchy today.”

Lin Nuan rubbed her gauze-covered wound against her back. However, it made her feel pretty awful, for it was like scratching an itch through one’s boot.

“It’s a good thing that you’re feeling itchy. That means it’s about to heal! Don’t rub or scratch your wound, bear with it… you’ll be fine when your wound heals. Otherwise, you’re not going to look good if it leaves a scar!” Liang Mulan coaxed Lin Nuan like she was a little kid.

“Got it, Mom…” Lin Nuan answered.

Liang Mulan told Lin Nuan… that Old Madam Lin and Old Master Lin were also worried about her injury. If Liang Mulan hadn’t stopped the two elders, they would’ve called Lin Nuan to ask her about her condition too.

When Old Master Lin saw the video and learned the entire process of how Lin Nuan was smashed on her arm, he directly told Lin Chen to check on the fellow who injured Lin Nuan’s arm. His intention to avenge Lin Nuan was implicit.

Seeing that he was rather mad, Lin Chen told Old Master Lin that Fang Yan’s husband was previously a department supervisor in the Qiyue Company. He heard that the Qiyue Company had plans to send him to their new company in South Africa, but he was unwilling, so the company came up with some excuse to fire him. The Kaide Corporation’s new president had spoken to that company prior to this.

Only then was Old Master Lin’s anger appeased a bit.

Lin Ran, who was sitting by the side, seemed to be very concerned about the development of this matter too. She knew quite a bit, saying that the manager that Lin Nuan was shielding, Fang Yan, had already taken legal action, and it was inevitable for him to lose everything in the divorce.

As Liang Mulan talked with Lin Nuan about Old Master Lin, she couldn’t help sighing about how Fang Yan had met the wrong guy. Knowing that Fang Yan had an eight-month-old baby, Liang Mulan urged Lin Nuan to have a child with Fu Huai’an while they were still young. She knew she couldn’t count on Lin Chen, so she planned to help Lin Nuan look after her children in her golden years and enjoy the bliss of having grandchildren.

Lin Nuan didn’t tell Liang Mulan about the fact that she was possibly pregnant. One of the reasons was that she was afraid that Liang Mulan would get her hopes up for nothing, and she also hoped that their baby wouldn’t come for the time being.

Right before hanging up, Liang Mulan reminded Lin Nuan to cherish Fu Huai’an, saying that he was truly a rare gem of a good man to come by.

Lin Nuan gazed at Fu Huai’an, who was playing with LEGOS with Tuan Tuan. Under the lighting, his deep eyes had a warmth to them. She nodded and answered.

By the time Liang Mulan hung up, Tuan Tuan was sitting slanted sideways on the sofa, so tired that he was constantly rubbing his eyes and yawning.

“If Tuan Tuan is tired, go to sleep first. You don’t have to go to kindergarten tomorrow, so you can stay at home to play the entire day!” Lin Nuan said with a gentle voice as she stood behind the sofa and bent over to kiss Tuan Tuan on the top of his head.

Tuan Tuan nodded and subconsciously raised both hands, wanting Lin Nuan to hug him. At that moment, a large hand appeared on his head. “Mama’s arm is injured!”

The sleepy Tuan Tuan retracted his hands and nodded. The little one had just been lifted by Fu Huai’an when he thought of something and struggled to break free. He then jogged to Lin Nuan’s side and blew on her arm, doing so like it was a routine procedure, puffing his cheeks up like a confused little hamster.

He gently touched Lin Nuan’s gauze-wrapped arm, imitating Little Candy as he repeated, “Pain pain, fly away! Pain pain, fly away…”

Tuan Tuan held back the sleepy sensation and tensed his face, appearing earnest as he caressed her arm and chanted one line before making a gesture to wave away the pain, repeating that several times. Only when he heard Lin Nuan say that it didn’t hurt anymore did Tuan Tuan finally reveal a smile and peacefully allowed Fu Huai’an to carry him upstairs.

…

Because of Song Yao’s matter, Bai Xiaonian’s departure for America was delayed from New Year’s Day to the 7th of January.

Bai Xiaonian didn’t tell anyone before she left, except for Lin Nuan.

Bai Xiaonian didn’t like teary farewells, so she wasn’t planning on letting anyone send her off. However, Lin Nuan insisted.

Bai Xiaonian hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing.

After hanging up, Bai Xiaonian, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa while hugging a pillow to her chest, looked at her father, who was busy in the kitchen, a sore sensation overwhelming her eyes.

Bai Xiaonian’s mother’s photo was placed on the old-style fridge. It was a picture of Bai Xiaonian’s mother with Bai Xiaonian’s father.

Perhaps because Bai Xiaonian’s mother was never around much, there were extremely few photos of her around the house. When Bai Xiaonian took one away with her, there would only be three or four photos of her left in the house.

Hearing the sound of porcelain plates crashing to the ground, Bai Xiaonian hurriedly put on slippers and ran to the kitchen. “What is it, Old Bai?”

When she entered, Bai Xiaonian saw her father bending over to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
