Before Tuan Tuan could let go of the button on Lin Nuan's jacket, he stumbled forward and fell into Fu Huai 'an's arms.
Fu Huai 'an carried the child with one hand and wrapped his muscular arm around Lin Nuan's. He was as steady as a mountain.
Lin Nuan's face was flushed. She held onto Fu Huai 'an's arm with both hands, his familiar and mature scent filling her nostrils.
She didn't say a word and pretended to be calm as she freed Tuan Tuan's hands from the button on her jacket. She moved away from Fu Huai 'an's embrace and tucked her messy hair behind her ears, trying to suppress her erratic breathing.
"Mama …" Tuan Tuan called out to Lin Nuan carefully like a child who had done something wrong.
Tuan Tuan's sobbing voice made Lin Nuan's eyes redden. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "I have an interview with Su Manman in the afternoon. I can accompany Tuan Tuan after that …"
Fu Huai 'an opened the backseat car door and bent over to put Tuan Tuan in.
"Mama!" Tuan Tuan cried out and reached out for Lin Nuan.
"I'm also Tuan Tuan's mother!" Lin Nuan blurted out. "You said it before!"
Fu Huai 'an had said that Lin Nuan was Tuan Tuan's second mother.
Fu Huai 'an didn't intend to take Tuan Tuan away. He calmly placed Tuan Tuan in the backseat, then turned around and held onto the car door with one hand.
His expression was calm as he said, "Not today. There's a banquet tonight for the elderly's birthday. Tuan Tuan has to stay with the elderly. If you have time tomorrow, you can call Little Lu and he'll send Tuan Tuan over."
Fu Huai 'an's assistant, Little Lu, immediately walked up and handed his name card to Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan knew she was overthinking and couldn't help but feel her ears turn hot.
Fu Huai 'an was a mature man in his thirties and had experienced much more than Lin Nuan. Lin Nuan didn't think he would be so calculative as to fall out with a woman like her. However, she couldn't help but recall how he turned a blind eye yesterday …
Tuan Tuan held onto the car door with both hands and was about to step on the ground. She looked at Tuan Tuan and said, "Tuan Tuan … you heard it. Today is the elderly's birthday, and Tuan Tuan is going to celebrate. When you come back … I'll accompany you, okay?"
Tuan Tuan paused in his attempt to get out of the car. He held onto the car door and looked up at Lin Nuan, his eyes reddening uncontrollably.
"Pinky promise!" Lin Nuan extended her hand to Tuan Tuan.
Tuan Tuan held back his tears and looked down at Lin Nuan's slender and fair fingers. He sniffled and reached out his chubby little hand to make a pinky promise with Lin Nuan.
Fu Huai 'an placed his large hand on Tuan Tuan's head and gently rubbed it.
Only then did Tuan Tuan let go of Lin Nuan's fingers and obediently returned to the car.
Standing at the entrance of the broadcasting building and watching the car carrying Tuan Tuan and Fu Huai 'an leave, Lin Nuan received news that, as expected, Lin Jingquan had been asked to be investigated.
Although it was expected, Lin Nuan still felt flustered when she heard it.
She called Lin Chen, but no one picked up the call. Lin Nuan felt even more anxious.
…
She walked into the building and swiped her work pass. Someone called out to her from behind.
"Lin Nuan!"
Lin Nuan turned around and saw that it was Wang Quan, who had groped her at the table yesterday. She didn't hesitate and walked towards the elevator, ignoring him.
"Lin Nuan!"
