"The little lover I want is the kind of little lover who wears a princess dress and carries a doll in her hand! She would lie in my arms and act like a spoiled child, saying things like 'Daddy, I love you the most in the world.' Instead of shouting for daddy to save me all day long, quickly grab a feather duster and beat mommy! "
When Tang Zheng recalled what Auntie Li had said about Little Candy's family, he found it funny.
Lin Nuan's smile deepened. After bidding farewell to Tuan Tuan, she closed the car door.
The car window was rolled down, and Tuan Tuan's hands were on the window as he reminded Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an, "Papa, Mama! Pick me up! "
"Yes!" Lin Nuan nodded.
After getting into the driver's seat, Tang Zheng, who had already fastened his seatbelt, stuck his head out and said, "Let's go!"
"Be careful on the road!" Lin Nuan reminded.
After watching Tang Zheng's car leave, Fu Huai 'an put one hand in his pocket and circled his arm around Lin Nuan's slender waist. "You deliberately let Tang Zheng send Tuan Tuan?"
"Tang Zheng isn't very talkative. I wonder if he'll still be so talkative when he sees Little Candy at kindergarten later?" Lin Nuan looked at the taillights of Tang Zheng's car and smiled. "Let's go in …"
…
Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an packed their things, and Fu Huai' an drove Lin Nuan to the mental hospital in the suburbs.
Lin Nuan talked to the doctor about her birth mother, Ji Yun's condition. Ji Yun was the same as usual, mumbling about Ran Ran and hugging a doll … She didn't do anything hurtful either. As long as the rag doll was by her side, her emotions were very stable.
After thanking him, Fu Huai 'an held Lin Nuan's hand and walked out. He asked Lin Nuan, "Since Mom didn't hurt anyone, why don't we take her home?"
Lin Nuan paused in her steps and subconsciously tightened her grip on the thermos she brought for Ji Yun. She turned her head to look at Fu Huai 'an …
Fu Huai 'an stood against the light, casting a deep shadow against the wall.
Her lips parted slightly.
Fu Huai 'an called Lin Nuan's biological mother "Mom" …
This surprised Lin Nuan.
Because Lin Nuan had never called Ji Yun "Mom" before!
She never had the chance to call her mother.
"What's wrong?" Fu Huai 'an asked.
Lin Nuan smiled. It was as if the bright sunlight had penetrated her chest and shone into her heart. She gripped Fu Huai 'an's hand tightly and said, "It's not that I didn't think about it in the past. It's just that the mental hospital usually follows the principle of the person who is admitted is the one who is taken out. Moreover, I've never lived with … Mom before. We don't even have the same household register, so there's no way for me to prove that I'm Mom's daughter. Why would the mental hospital allow me to take someone away?"
"You don't have to worry about that, I can handle it …" Fu Huai 'an smiled lightly.
Lin Nuan's palms were sweaty, and her heart suddenly thumped a few times.
It wasn't that Lin Nuan didn't yearn for maternal love, and it wasn't that she hadn't thought of living together with Ji Yun …
It was just that she didn't have the means to take care of Ji Yun and her job at the same time. It was also because of what she told Fu Huai 'an … that mental hospitals generally followed the principle of whoever was sent in would be able to take them out. With Lin Nuan's status, it was indeed impossible for her to take Ji Yun out.
"But what happens after I take him out?! How do I take care of them? "Lin Nuan looked up at Fu Huai 'an's smiling face and asked.
"That's easy. We can hire a caretaker to take care of Mom." Fu Huai 'an gripped Lin Nuan's petite hand tightly. "It's said that a son-in-law is half a son. Leave this matter to me. You don't have to worry about anything."
Was this what it felt like to have a chest to rely on?
Lin Nuan felt all sorts of feelings welling up in her heart.
…
Fu Huai 'an accompanied Lin Nuan to meet Ji Yun.
Ji Yun didn't show any signs of aggression, merely devoting all her maternal love to a doll. Therefore, she was allowed to walk around the courtyard with Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an's accompaniment.
Fu Huai 'an took a closer look at Ji Yun, whose sideburns had streaks of white. Lin Nuan's features were delicate and exquisite, likely inherited from her mother.
Even though Ji Yun was already getting on in years, one could still tell that she had stunning looks when she was young and untainted by worldly affairs.
Ji Yun's long hair was tied into a low ponytail, and she wore a hospital gown with vertical stripes. She wasn't tall and was very thin, unable to even hold up the hospital gown …
A gust of wind blew past, and one could vaguely see Ji Yun's bony silhouette.
The air outside, which had been bathed in the golden sunlight, was so fresh that one could relax their entire body …
Fu Huai 'an stood at the entrance of the gazebo in the hospital, looking at Lin Nuan, who was sitting with Ji Yun and scooping out noodles from the thermos and then pouring tomato and egg soup over them.
The Boston ivy climbed up the pillars of the gazebo, winding its way up. However, it was no longer as lively as it was in summer, gradually turning yellow. Under the sunlight, it swayed in the breeze, emitting a dry rustling sound.
Ji Yun merely stared at the doll in her arms with a loving gaze. One moment, she would stroke the doll's head, and the next moment, she would stroke the doll's little face. The next moment, she would mutter to the doll in a low voice, "Ran Ran Ran Ran" as she pressed her face against the doll's, smiling lovingly.
Lin Nuan seemed to be used to this. She wiped the chopsticks she brought and placed them on the bowl, saying in a low voice, "Tomato and egg noodles, your favorite!"
Hearing the words "tomato and egg noodles," Ji Yun finally reacted. She turned around and glanced at the tomato and egg noodles, then shrunk her neck and smiled at Lin Nuan. "Our Ran Ran loves to eat tomato and egg noodles!"
Lin Nuan smiled and nodded. "En, eat it while it's hot!"
Ji Yun hugged the little doll in her arms and coaxed it in a low voice, "Ran Ran, let's eat your favorite tomato and egg noodles!"
Seeing that Ji Yun offered the doll a pair of chopsticks and the doll refused to eat, she anxiously coaxed it again and again.
Lin Nuan held Ji Yun's hand, which was holding the chopsticks, and said, "Ran Ran said she's not hungry. Ran Ran said to let Mama eat first! Once Mama is full, she'll eat! "
When Ji Yun heard Lin Nuan's words, she smiled at the little doll. "Mama will eat! Mama will eat! Mama will eat right now! "
Very soon, Ji Yun finished the bowl of tomato and egg noodles, but the soup was all over her.
Lin Nuan drew out a tissue to wipe Ji Yun's mouth and clothes. Ji Yun angrily slapped Lin Nuan's hand away, then turned around and glared at Lin Nuan, pressing her index finger to the corner of her lips. "Shh …"
Ji Yun reprimanded in a low voice, "Our Ran Ran wants to sleep!"
Ji Yun then coaxed the doll in her arms, humming a child-coaxing song that Fu Huai 'an had never heard before.
"Ran Ran, be good. Don't be afraid, Mama is here! Mama is here! Mama will always love my Ran Ran the most. Ran Ran is the most lovable … "
Fu Huai 'an looked at the back of Lin Nuan's hand, which had turned red from the patting, and at her eyes, which were still smiling calmly. His heart ached for Lin Nuan.
When Lin Ran returned to the Lin family, at least with Liang Mulan by her side, she would give Lin Ran more motherly love!
But when Lin Nuan returned to her biological mother's side, her biological mother had long given all her love to Lin Ran!
