"Hello …" Little Candy's clear voice came from the other end of the line. "Is this Tuan Tuan's mother? I'm Little Candy, I'm looking for Tuan Tuan! "
Lin Nuan looked towards Tuan Tuan and saw that he had closed the door. She let go of the handle and nodded. "Okay! Wait … "
"Tuan Tuan, Little Candy is looking for you!"
Hearing Lin Nuan's voice, Tuan Tuan bounced over to her.
Lin Nuan passed the phone to him, but he didn't take it. He propped his hands on Lin Nuan's thighs and tiptoed as he spoke into the phone. "Hello?"
"Tuan Tuan!"
Before she could place the phone next to Tuan Tuan's ear, she heard Little Candy's surprised cry.
"I didn't want to see you at kindergarten today! So my mother called your mother, and I was able to find you! "
Tuan Tuan was rendered speechless.
Little Candy's words sounded like a tongue twister, and Tuan Tuan felt a little dizzy. He only understood the last sentence — Little Candy was looking for him.
"Then … what's the matter?" Tuan Tuan spoke to the phone seriously, his expression serious.
"I'm fine! But … can't I call you if there's nothing? "Little Candy's voice was still clear." I miss you! My mother said … the day I was hospitalized with a fever, you were hospitalized with a fever too! Then you were hospitalized with a fever today! My mother said … only an idiot would have a fever within two days! I was an idiot in the past, but I won't be an idiot anymore! Tuan Tuan, it's okay that you're an idiot now, but you won't be an idiot when you recover! "
Tuan Tuan stared at Lin Nuan with his eyes wide open, his black grape-like eyes staring at her, as if asking her if only idiots would have a fever within two days!
"Ah …" Little Candy screamed. "I'm going to tell my grandma that you hit my head! I'm going to let her smack your butt with a feather duster! "
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
Unsurprisingly, Little Candy was indeed beaten up!
She could imagine Little Candy hugging her head and complaining to You Nainai …
"Let's talk nicely, why did you hit her?"
Tang Zheng's voice could be vaguely heard from the phone.
You Nainai didn't seem to like Tang Zheng interacting with Little Candy, so she told him to stay away.
Tuan Tuan looked at the phone and wanted to speak several times, but it was noisy on the other side, not giving Tuan Tuan a chance to speak.
The little one blinked his big eyes as he looked at the phone screen. After some thought, he still said in an extremely polite and soft voice, "Little Candy, bye bye …"
Then, Tuan Tuan raised his head and looked at Lin Nuan with his black eyes.
After hanging up, Lin Nuan looked at Tuan Tuan seriously, stroked his little head, and said, "Our Tuan Tuan is the smartest! The fever yesterday was an accident, not an idiot like Little Candy's mother said! "
Lin Nuan spoke very seriously, and Tuan Tuan listened very seriously, nodding his head vigorously. Mama said he wasn't an idiot, so he definitely wasn't an idiot. Tuan Tuan smiled.
After Bai Jinyu accompanied Tuan Tuan through the checkup and confirmed that he was fine, he could be discharged. Bai Jinyu happened to get off work and left with his girlfriend, Xu Wanwan, who had come to pick him up.
…
Li Muyang stood in front of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down at Haicheng, which was shrouded in rain.
Ah Zhan stood nervously at the side and looked at Li Muyang, anxiously waiting for Li Muyang's reply. However, Li Muyang stood there for close to 15 minutes, showing no intention of changing hotels.
"Boss, we're overseas, and … we're in Haicheng. It's not a good thing for your residence to be found out! We have to change hotels quickly! Don't hesitate! "Ah Zhan urged anxiously, his voice inevitably a little high.
"Will Mr. Fu not be able to find out if we change hotels? Won't others be able to find out? " Li Muyang knocked on the floor-to-ceiling windows with his walking stick, not minding Ah Zhan's disrespect at all. He gestured for Ah Zhan to look across. "We've long been under surveillance!"
Ah Zhan's heart tightened.
Actually, at the start, Ah Zhan didn't approve of Li Muyang coming to Haicheng. After all, Lin Nuan was already married and devoted to her husband.
But in the end, he couldn't go against Li Muyang's orders and could only follow them over.
Before coming, Ah Zhan had already done his best to make preparations. But he knew in his heart … that once things progressed to the worst stage, they would definitely be at a disadvantage since they had no influence in Haicheng.
It wasn't that Ah Zhan didn't know what Li Muyang was thinking. There were many people watching Haicheng now. The closer Li Muyang followed Lin Nuan, the more those who wanted to lay their hands on Lin Nuan and test if Fu Huai 'an was Mr. Moral … wouldn't dare to act rashly!
If Fu Huai 'an was really Mr. Moral, they would be in deep trouble. Who would want to offend the De Niro family as well?
But Ah Zhan felt that it wasn't worth it. In America, Li Muyang could receive the best treatment and have the best environment!
He came all the way to Haicheng for Lin Nuan's safety, but Lin Nuan didn't appreciate it at all!
Ah Zhan could even see the disgust she had for Li Muyang in Lin Nuan's eyes!
"I'll let them see what I do every day …" Li Muyang's lips curled up in a devilish smile. "Where's Lin Nuan?"
Ah Zhan felt that Li Muyang had gone crazy!
He could only tell Li Muyang the truth that Tuan Tuan was sick. Last night, Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an had accompanied Tuan Tuan in the hospital, and they had just been discharged and returned to Tianfu Bay this morning.
"Boss, pardon my bluntness, but based on your health condition, we should return to China …"
Without waiting for Ah Zhan to finish speaking, Li Muyang, who was leaning on his walking stick, turned around with a smile that was as devilish as a poppy flower. "The two groups of people who have arrived in Haicheng … are preparing to test Gu Qingcheng's friends one by one to see who is Mr. Moral! I feel that I might not get to see such a good show even if I live for another few hundred years. How can I miss it? "
He really wanted to see what Gu Qingcheng would do, to see … what Mr. Moral would do.
Ah Zhan was anxious. "But your health …"
Without waiting for Ah Zhan to finish speaking, Li Muyang continued, "Do you think Mr. Moral's old foes will appear one by one?"
Ah Zhan didn't reply. He was afraid that before Mr. Moral's old foes showed up, Li Muyan would lose her life here first.
Li Muyang sat down on the sofa, and the smile on his lips became clearer and more horrifying. "But if we want to watch this show … we have to think of a way to start a fire first! What do you think, Ah Zhan? "
Ah Zhan didn't say anything, frowning as he looked at Li Muyang …
Ah Zhan felt that ever since Li Muyang met Lin Nuan, there had been life and vigor in his eyes. But … it had also become a little unfamiliar to Ah Zhan.
It was as if the dark side that had been suppressed in his heart for many years and hadn't been revealed was eagerly gushing out to devour the light source after receiving a ray of sunlight.
"Boss …" Ah Zhan clenched his fists by his sides.
…
Lu Jinnan held a black umbrella and stood in front of Fu Huai 'an's villa in Tianfu Bay. He bit onto a cigarette and narrowed his eyes amidst the white smoke, looking at the scene of the rain hitting the leaves.
Lu Jinnan's feet were covered with cigarette butts. He had almost finished smoking an entire pack of cigarettes. As if he had made up his mind, he flicked the cigarette butt in the direction of the trash can. The gray ash splattered everywhere, and the cigarette butt fell into the puddle along with the raindrops, making sizzling sounds.
He pushed open the gate, walked to the door, and closed the umbrella. He pressed the doorbell and casually placed the drenched umbrella on the umbrella rack at the door.
Tuan Tuan was the one who opened the door. Tuan Tuan was wearing Captain America's home clothes, and he stood on his tiptoes to open the door for Lu Jinnan.
Seeing the fair little one, a hint of a smile appeared in Lu Jinnan's eyes. He reached out and stroked Tuan Tuan's head. "Where's Papa?"
"Washing the dishes …" Tuan Tuan said two words.
"What?" Lu Jinnan thought he had heard wrongly, so he asked again in astonishment.
"Washing the dishes!" Tuan Tuan enunciated his words perfectly, sounding extremely adorable.
As he spoke, Tuan Tuan even let Lu Jinnan open the door. He then opened the shoe cabinet and squatted in front of it to find a pair of guest slippers and place them at the entrance. He then gazed at Lu Jinnan with his bright black eyes.
As Lu Jinnan changed his shoes, he couldn't help but look into the kitchen. He finally managed to stuff his feet into the slippers, took off his suit jacket, and hung it up before hurriedly walking towards the kitchen.
As soon as he entered the dining room, Lu Jinnan saw Fu Huai 'an washing the dishes.
Who would have thought that the dignified and calm man was washing the dishes in a navy blue V-neck home clothes and an apron that didn't fit him?
The warm light engraved Fu Huai 'an's deep facial features, adding a touch of gentleness to his cold and stern features.
Lin Nuan stood beside Fu Huai 'an, preparing the fruits …
The fat British Shorthair cat that Fu Huai 'an kept at home was sitting opposite the chopping board Lin Nuan was cutting fruits with its head tilted, looking curious.
Lu Jinnan froze at the door. Looking at Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an, he suddenly felt that such a scene was exceptionally heartwarming and harmonious.
Wife, child, and cat.
This kind of peaceful and stable life was what every one of them had always wanted!
Fu Huai 'an casually placed the washed dishes to the side. His deep and dark gaze looked up at Lu Jinnan, and he said with a fake smile, "You're finally willing to come in?"
"En?" Lu Jinnan didn't react at first, then he looked out the floor-to-ceiling window. The curtains were only half drawn, and he could see where he had been standing.
Lin Nuan, who was cutting fruits, also looked up at Lu Jinnan with a friendly gaze. She asked calmly, "I left some food for you, do you want to eat?"
"I won't eat, I have something to discuss with Old Fu." Lu Jinnan thought about how his actions had been seen through and felt a little awkward.
"Then let me finish the dishes! You and Lu Jinnan go sit in the living room … "Lin Nuan placed the cut fruits on a plate." You carry the fruits over! "
"There aren't many left, let Lu Jinnan wait!" Fu Huai 'an leisurely washed the plates in his hands, not at all anxious.
Lu Jinnan was speechless.
Lin Nuan looked at Lu Jinnan's expression and couldn't resist smiling at Fu Huai 'an. "If you're not hungry, I want to heat it up in the pot for you. It won't be too late to eat after you're done talking to Huai' an!"
Lu Jinnan nodded subconsciously.
Lu Jinnan stood at the entrance of the dining room and watched as Fu Huai 'an washed the dishes, then slowly wiped them clean with a kitchen towel. His large, well-defined hands held onto the porcelain plates and wiped them in a leisurely manner.
Lu Jinnan was speechless.
"Old Fu, can you hurry up?" Lu Jinnan finally couldn't resist speaking up.
Fu Huai 'an finished wiping the last plate, then took off his apron and placed it on the counter. Before he left, he gently held Lin Nuan's slender waist and said in a low voice, "I'll be there in a while …"
"It's okay, I'll accompany Tuan Tuan to paint, you guys can talk!" Lin Nuan said.
Fu Huai 'an and Lu Jinnan went upstairs. When Lin Nuan finished wiping the counter and came out with the fruits, Fu Huai' an and Lu Jinnan had already gone upstairs to the study.
Tuan Tuan was lying on the coffee table, finishing his kindergarten homework.
That chubby British Shorthair raised its tail, and its soft body followed Lin Nuan as they walked forward. It meowed, wanting to eat the food in Lin Nuan's hands.
Lin Nuan placed the fruit next to Tuan Tuan and reached out to touch the British Shorthair's head. The British Shorthair stretched out its neck and rubbed its head against Lin Nuan's palm, meowing.
"Is Tuan Tuan drawing a house?" Lin Nuan asked.
Tuan Tuan pointed at the crooked house in the drawing. "Home!"
"Tuan Tuan is drawing our home!" Lin Nuan glanced at it and gave Tuan Tuan a thumbs up. "Our Tuan Tuan is great at drawing!"
Tuan Tuan was embarrassed from the compliment. His ears turned red and he nodded. "Tuan Tuan, great!"
Lin Nuan kissed him on the cheek and sat down next to him.
As Tuan Tuan was drawing, Lin Nuan recalled how Lu Jinnan looked frowning and smoking outside the door. She sent Bai Xiaonian a WeChat message …
Lin Nuan: Lu Jinnan suddenly came looking for Huai 'an, and he didn't look too good. Did you quarrel with Lu Jinnan?
A few seconds later, Bai Xiaonian replied.
Bai Xiaonian: (Rolling her eyes) You don't know, he's crazy! He wants to marry me!
Lin Nuan: (Surprised face) This is a good thing! It means that Lu Jinnan is a responsible man. You didn't agree?
Bai Xiaonian: (Rolling her eyes) I chased him out!
Lin Nuan: …
After sending the message to Lin Nuan, Bai Xiaonian's mind was in a mess. She hid her phone under her pillow and pulled the blanket over her head.
Was Lu Jinnan having a stroke today? Bai Xiaonian couldn't figure it out. She couldn't understand why a man would propose in such a way!
When he pressed the doorbell of Bai Xiaonian's house, the first thing he said was, "Bai Xiaonian, I'm asking you one last time. Will you marry me? This is the last time I'm asking you! "
Bai Xiaonian, whose legs weren't nimble yet, immediately flared up. She pushed Lu Jinnan out of the door and said that this was the last time she would tell Lu Jinnan that she would rather die than marry him! She was going to be a foreign reporter after she recovered from her leg injury. She didn't have the time or energy to get married.
Then, Lu Jinnan left. He didn't bombard her with phone calls and text messages as usual …
She usually found Lu Jinnan's bombardment of phone calls and text messages annoying, but today, Lu Jinnan left in the rain without saying a word …
There were no messages or calls. Bai Xiaonian held onto her phone, which hadn't rung for a long time. Her heart felt empty.
She had been letting her imagination run wild, afraid that something had happened to Lu Jinnan. Now that she knew Lu Jinnan had gone to look for Fu Huai 'an, Bai Xiaonian felt a lot more at ease.
Bai Xiaonian opened the bedside table and took out her mother's photo. She looked at it seriously, the corners of her lips turning up.
Her lifelong wish was to become someone like her mother. She had been working hard for that!
Bai Xiaonian rubbed her sore eyes and told herself … that she couldn't take the romance that had happened along the way too seriously.
…
In the study, Lu Jinnan skillfully took out a cigarette from Fu Huai 'an's desk drawer and bit it at the corner of his lips. However, he couldn't find his lighter anywhere. Only then did he remember that his lighter was in his suit. He had hung it at the entrance when he entered.
Hearing the sound of the match, Lu Jinnan bit the cigarette and looked up …
He saw Fu Huai 'an holding the cigarette between his lips. He struck the match, and the flickering flame made Fu Huai' an's side profile appear even colder.
He lit the cigarette and took a deep puff. Amidst the white smoke, he narrowed his eyes and shook the match in his hand, casually tossing the burnt match into the crystal ashtray.
Fu Huai 'an threw the matchbox to Lu Jinnan. "You and Tang Zheng, both of you have families to feed, so it's not suitable for you! Things haven't reached the worst stage yet. Moreover … what about Bai Xiaonian? You came out and claimed to be Mr. Moral, but have you thought about Bai Xiaonian's situation? "
"Bai Xiaonian and I won't end up together!" Lu Jinnan frowned and lit the cigarette with a match. "She's going to go overseas to be a reporter."
Fu Huai 'an moved the cigarette away from his lips and asked, "When?"
"After her leg recovers!" Lu Jinnan said.
Fu Huai 'an nodded and said, "What about your father? And your brother! Isn't he important anymore? "
Lu Jinnan and Fu Huai 'an leaned against the desk together, one hand propping up the solid wooden table. He frowned and said, "I suspect that something happened to Old Gu and he's hiding it from us. Otherwise, even if someone suspects you, it's impossible for three forces to come to Haicheng so quickly from overseas. This isn't even including that Li Muyang who came for Lin Nuan …"
Fu Huai 'an lowered his gaze. He knew that Lu Jinnan's words weren't without reason. Gu Qingcheng had always reported only the good news and not the bad.
All these years, Fu Huai 'an hadn't asked about Gu Qingcheng's "business" methods. Even so, Fu Huai' an knew that Gu Qingcheng's business was getting better and better in such a short period of time. How could there be no twists and turns?
Fu Huai 'an knew the rules of this circle too well. In the beginning, the small fish ate the small fish, and the big fish ate the small fish. Later on, the big fish each occupied a side and kept each other in check. Gu Qingcheng wanted to reshuffle the cards and occupy a place in the circle. This was far more difficult than Fu Huai' an dealing with the politicians.
"Do you want me to check it out?" Lu Jinnan asked Fu Huai 'an in a low voice. He was also worried that something might have happened to Gu Qingcheng.
"Not for the time being. Now that Old Gu is in power, they don't know who Mr. Moral is. Even if they were to probe, they wouldn't dare to go overboard! Right now, they only dare to send people to keep an eye on us. Go on with your lives as usual … Lu Jinnan, do whatever you need to do. Tang Zheng, do whatever you need to do at the Kaide Corporation! Do your own things! "
Fu Huai 'an's dark eyes were deep and profound, so distant that Lu Jinnan couldn't understand them.
Lu Jinnan frowned. "If I had known, I wouldn't have let you go to Dubai!"
If he hadn't gone to Dubai and bumped into Qin Zhe, nothing would have happened to him!
Lu Jinnan was annoyed. He put out his cigarette. "I'll leave first!"
"Old Lu!" Fu Huai 'an called out to Lu Jinnan, whose hand was already on the door handle.
