"Forgive me for asking, but I heard that Mr. Fu has a son. Are you getting married for the second time, or …" Liang Mulan felt that she had to ask some questions for her daughter's happiness.
Fu Huai 'an raised his deep gaze, the deep calmness between his brows unchanging. He spoke calmly, his voice deep and steady, "You're Lin Nuan's mother. Since I'm going to marry Lin Nuan, I should tell you the truth about the child. Tuan Tuan was entrusted to me by a pair of friends before they died."
That surprised Lin Nuan.
Fu Huai 'an didn't say anything else. Lin Nuan could guess that he didn't want the child to think he was an orphan, so he became the child's father.
Liang Mulan was shocked too. Ever since Fu Huai 'an returned with the child, there had been all sorts of speculations.
To put it nicely, it could be said that Fu Huai 'an had gotten married and divorced overseas … and then brought back a child!
Some said Fu Huai 'an's child was an illegitimate child.
An old friend had passed away, and it wasn't easy to open up such a scar. Liang Mulan apologized, trying to guess if Fu Huai 'an was telling the truth. But after looking at him for a long time, Liang Mulan couldn't see through his deep eyes.
This was the first time Fu Huai 'an told her about Tuan Tuan's past.
This was Fu Huai 'an's sincerity in marrying Lin Nuan.
"Then … do you know about Nuan Nuan's past?" Liang Mulan asked.
Liang Mulan was asking about Lin Nuan's past. She was more concerned about whether Fu Huai 'an knew that Lin Nuan's biological mother had a mental illness, and whether he minded it as much as the Gu Family did.
Four years ago, Lin Nuan's life changed drastically. Her biological father suddenly brought Lin Ran to their home. After telling them about the two children's past, he committed suicide with poison. Fu Huai 'an knew all of this.
Fu Huai 'an nodded. "Yes, I know everything about Lin Nuan's past and her biological parents."
Liang Mulan gripped the teacup in her hand and looked into Fu Huai 'an's deep eyes. "Nuan Nuan even told you this."
Fu Huai 'an didn't deny it, but Lin Nuan felt uneasy. Ever since she was young, Lin Nuan had never lied to Liang Mulan. Now that she had no choice but to cooperate, she couldn't sit still.
That afternoon, Liang Mulan and Fu Huai 'an chatted about some unimportant things. Fu Huai' an had a good conversational style, and his actions were steady. He understood her background and didn't mind.
Other than the fact that Fu Huai 'an was a child, Liang Mulan couldn't find any fault with him. She even admired and liked Fu Huai' an.
It was just that Liang Mulan felt that it was a little too soon since they had to rush to get their marriage certificate the next day. But Lin Nuan was the one who chose them, so Liang Mulan had no reason to stop them from getting married.
After sending Fu Huai 'an off, Lin Nuan got her household registration booklet and didn't stay at the Lins' house.
Sitting in the taxi, she tilted her head and looked out of the window at the busy traffic. She felt … a little relaxed.
After getting the certificate, he could use marriage as an excuse to remove his household registration from the book. Liang Mulan probably wouldn't say anything.
It would indeed be unfair to Lin Ran if she continued to be associated with the Lin family …
But as for the Lin family's parents and big brother, they had more than 20 years of family ties. How could they let it go so easily?
…
That night, Lin Nuan went home and took a shower. There were a few missed calls on her phone.
Lin Nuan saw that it was the landlord, so she returned the call.
Lin Nuan had just paid the rent for the next quarter, and the landlord called to discuss the increase in the rent …
Lin Nuan's landlord was a southern woman. Her voice was soft and pleasant, but every word she said was non-negotiable.
