Seeing this, Uncle Blessing hurriedly said, "Mr. Jiang, come in first!"
Uncle Blessing then turned to Fu Huai 'an and Lin Nuan and said, "Mr. Jiang just arrived …"
Fu Huai 'an nodded, exuding a noble aura.
Lin Nuan nodded at Jiang Chengyuan as a greeting. After all, he was Fu Huai 'an's biological father. However, Fu Huai' an didn't seem to want to recognize him, so Lin Nuan could only pretend she didn't know anything.
After brushing past Jiang Chengyuan, Fu Tianci raised his eyebrows and sized him up. He felt that Jiang Chengyuan looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Fu Tianci followed Lin Nuan into the small house. Aunt Blessing was squatting in front of Tuan Tuan, helping him take off his down jacket. She said in a gentle voice, "It must be freezing outside, right? Is Jincheng colder than Haicheng? "
Tuan Tuan shook his head obediently. His pinkish-white little face was so tender that it could be killed by cuteness.
Aunt Blessing's heart was about to melt. She took off Tuan Tuan's jacket and led him to wash his hands.
Tuan Tuan turned to look at Lin Nuan. Seeing Lin Nuan nod, he left with Aunt Blessing.
Fu Tianci had lived in a small house before, so he didn't mind that Aunt Blessing's place was small.
There was a set of fabric sofas. Aunt Blessing had carefully made a sofa cover and covered the sofa. The sofa cover was very clean, and one could tell that it had been used for a long time. On the wall behind the sofa hung a cross-stitch embroidered by Aunt Blessing. It was a beautiful peach blossom garden, very beautiful!
The living room was a little narrow, but it was filled with the smell of life, so warm that it made one's heart warm.
There was a small stove in the house, and the chimney led outside from the window. Snacks were being baked on the stove, and there was a circle of oranges on the edge of the stove. The smell of oranges filled the house, and it smelled very good.
The house had floor heating, and Uncle Blessing had specially prepared the stove because Fu Huai 'an was coming today …
When they were chatting in the past, Uncle Blessing had unintentionally heard Fu Huai 'an mention that when he was with his grandmother, his favorite thing was to start a stove at home when it snowed in winter, and his grandmother would bake snacks and oranges for him.
Lin Nuan took off her down jacket, and Fu Huai 'an took it and hung it up before taking off his woolen coat.
Uncle Blessing asked Little Lu and Fu Tianci to sit down, but Fu Tianci walked to the door and looked at the small yard outside through the transparent glass.
Little Lu thanked him and sat at the side.
Aunt Blessing came back with Tuan Tuan. Seeing Fu Tianci. standing there looking out, she smiled and said, "This young man is …"
"Fu Tianci …" Fu Huai 'an spoke up.
"Tianci, what a good name!" Aunt Blessing laughed. "Tianci … Come and have a baked snack!"
Fu Tianci. nodded obediently, which was rare for him, and sat down next to Lin Nuan. He took the baked snacks that Aunt Blessing had put on the plate with both hands and thanked her seriously.
Ever since Tuan Tuan washed his hands and came over, Jiang Chengyuan's gaze had never left Tuan Tuan.
He saw Tuan Tuan snuggling in Lin Nuan's arms. Lin Nuan was holding a small plate with snacks on it. She picked up the snacks with her chopsticks, blew on them, and brought them to Tuan Tuan's mouth. She reminded Tuan Tuan to take small bites and be careful of the heat.
Fu Huai 'an sat at the side with his legs crossed, holding a tangerine whose skin had been roasted to a golden brown. He peeled it open and brought a piece of the tangerine to Lin Nuan's lips with his long and slender fingers.
Little Lu was very perceptive and went to the kitchen to help Aunt Blessing scoop out fermented rice and eggs. Each person had a bowl, and the entire room was filled with the aroma of all kinds of food.
Jiang Chengyuan really wanted to talk to Tuan Tuan, but he held it in for Fu Huai 'an.
Tuan Tuan looked toward Jiang Chengyuan with his big round eyes. Jiang Chengyuan's eyes reddened, and he felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he smiled at Tuan Tuan.
Tuan Tuan held a piece of tangerine in his hand and blinked his big eyes as he looked at Jiang Chengyuan, not avoiding his gaze.
Jiang Chengyuan's throat vibrated. He took a tangerine from the stove and peeled it, then said in a fawning voice, "Tuan Tuan, do you still want to eat? Grandpa will peel the tangerine for you?"
Tuan Tuan's mouth was stuffed full of snacks, but he didn't say a word. He raised the tangerine in his hand to show that he still had more.
Jiang Chengyuan subconsciously glanced at Fu Huai 'an. Seeing that Fu Huai' an was focused on peeling the tangerine with his long and thick eyelashes lowered and didn't object to him talking to Tuan Tuan, Jiang Chengyuan said, "Tuan Tuan, come to Grandpa, okay? Let Grandpa hug you … "
Jiang Chengyuan's voice was slightly choked.
Tuan Tuan leaned in Lin Nuan's arms and didn't move.
"Mister, you're so strange. Our child isn't related to you in any way, so why are you hugging him?" Fu Tianci crossed his legs and leaned against the sofa comfortably. He took a sip of the fermented rice and eggs in his hand, looking very carefree. "You've been staring at our child ever since we entered the house. People who don't know better would think that you're a human trafficker!"
Originally, Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing's impression of Fu Tianci was that he was a polite and pretty young man who had walked out of a comic. Fu Tianci revealed his true nature the moment he spoke, destroying their illusion of him as a polite and pretty young man.
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
Indeed, Fu Tianci was still Fu Tianci. It was impossible for him to become an obedient child.
Lin Nuan looked toward Fu Tianci. Fu Tianci turned his head and met Lin Nuan's gaze. He paused in surprise and subconsciously uncrossed his legs. He straightened his back and sat properly, then lowered his head and took a sip of the fermented rice and eggs in his hand.
When Fu Tianci came back to his senses, he felt a little anxious. Why did he become obedient just because of Lin Nuan's gaze?
Jiang Chengyuan was embarrassed by Fu Tianci's words.
Aunt Blessing smiled and said awkwardly, "This child is really straightforward …"
Fu Tianci's ears turned a little red.
"Mama!" Tuan Tuan suddenly called out to Lin Nuan. He turned his head and held onto Lin Nuan's knee with one hand, then raised the orange in his hand high with the other. He stood on his tiptoes, wanting to feed Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan rubbed Tuan Tuan's little head. "Tuan Tuan, eat! Mama won't eat … "
Fu Huai 'an gazed at the adorable little Tuan Tuan and placed his large hand on Tuan Tuan's head. The corners of his lips curled up as he stroked the top of his head.
When Tuan Tuan smiled, he revealed a row of white teeth, and his eyes curved into crescents. He couldn't be more adorable.
When Jiang Chengyuan saw this scene, he recalled that Jiang Ming 'an was also this obedient and adorable when he was young. It was just that back then … Jiang Chengyuan had never cherished the Jiang Ming' an who loved his parents wholeheartedly.
He couldn't hide the sourness in his heart, and his eyes turned red.
"Huai 'an, let's come out and have a chat, okay?" Jiang Chengyuan restrained the trembling in his voice and asked in a low voice.
Fu Tianci looked toward Fu Huai 'an. Seeing Fu Huai' an get up, Fu Tianci turned to look at Jiang Chengyuan. He suddenly felt that … this old man who had been staring at Tuan Tuan resembled Fu Huai 'an a little!
Fu Tianci's mind suddenly lit up. He had heard Lu Qingmei mention Fu Huai 'an's background before. Could it be … that the person in front of him was Fu Huai' an's father?
After watching Fu Huai 'an and Jiang Chengyuan leave, Fu Tianci immediately turned his head and asked Lin Nuan, "Is that Fu Huai' an's biological father?"
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
How was Lin Nuan supposed to answer that?
Upon hearing that, Tuan Tuan glanced at Fu Tianci, then turned back to look at Lin Nuan seriously, looking like a curious baby.
"This … I'm not sure either!" Lin Nuan said vaguely.
"It must be! Look at their looks! I heard Old Man Fu tell my mother that Fu Huai 'an's father is an irresponsible scumbag, causing my sister, whom I've never met, to raise Fu Huai' an alone. Later, she died of an illness because it was too hard on her! "Fu Tianci said seriously.
Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing were confused. Wasn't this handsome young man Lin Nuan's younger brother? Why was his sister raising Fu Huai 'an?
Little Lu, who had been sitting at the side without interrupting, came out to introduce Fu Tianci to Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing. "Uncle Blessing, Aunt Blessing, this is Fu Tianci. He's the … son of Sir's maternal grandfather. According to seniority, he's Sir's uncle."
Little Lu didn't use the term "illegitimate son" to refer to Fu Tianci.
Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing's eyes widened in disbelief.
Weren't there rumors that Fu Huai 'an and this illegitimate son were vying for the Kaide Corporation? Why would Fu Huai 'an bring this illegitimate son over?
Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing had never asked about Fu Huai 'an's life. Firstly, they felt that it was the child's business, and secondly, they felt that they weren't qualified.
Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing felt that the rumors might be wrong.
However, this handsome young man's seniority had suddenly risen to Fu Huai 'an's uncle. Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing … didn't know how to treat Fu Tianci!
Could they … talk to Fu Tianci like he was a child?
"Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing, although Tianci is Huai 'an's uncle in terms of seniority, he's still a child. Treat him like your own child …" Lin Nuan placed the bowl in her hands on the coffee table and smiled at Tuan Tuan. "Just treat him like Tuan Tuan!"
When Fu Tianci heard Lin Nuan say that, his ears suddenly turned red. He turned his head and pretended to stare at the bowl in his hands, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.
Treat him like … a child like Tuan Tuan?
For some reason, Fu Tianci felt a slight itch in his heart. Even his palms started to itch, and his face looked like it was burning up.
"Tsk, you're the little brat like Tuan Tuan!" Fu Tianci turned his head away, his heart beating especially fast. He held the bowl of fermented rice with eggs in one hand and propped his chin up with his elbow on the armrest of the sofa, looking out the door.
Little Lu couldn't help but smile, knowing that Fu Tianci was shy.
Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing looked troubled. He probably didn't like being treated like a child! It seemed like all children nowadays were like this …
"Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing, please don't mind him. Tianci has such an awkward personality!" Lin Nuan lowered her head and looked at Tuan Tuan. "Isn't that right, Tuan Tuan?"
Tuan Tuan nodded at Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing with a serious expression. "En! Awkward! "
Uncle Blessing and Fu Sheng laughed out loud.
…
Outside the door, Jiang Chengyuan, who had seen Tuan Tuan, couldn't control his emotions. He turned around and glanced into the house, which was filled with laughter. "You've brought up Tuan Tuan very well! All these years … it's been hard on you to bring up the child alone! "
Fu Huai 'an stood under the eaves with both hands in his pockets, looking at the big tree in the yard that was covered in snow. "So, you specially came to Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing's place today to see if I've brought up Tuan Tuan well?"
"Huai 'an …" Jiang Chengyuan's voice sounded weak. "I'm here to see Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing. I didn't know that you were bringing Tuan Tuan back today, but Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing said that you were coming back to pick them up and bring them to Jincheng … to attend your wedding!"
Jiang Chengyuan's voice was filled with endless loneliness.
Fu Huai 'an came to Jincheng to pick up Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing, who had nothing to do with him, to attend the wedding. He didn't even go to see his biological father. How could Jiang Chengyuan's heart not ache?
Jiang Chengyuan had just finished speaking when he saw a big golden retriever's head push open the door and poke its head in.
The moment Little Blessing saw Fu Huai 'an, it quickly squeezed in through the door. It wagged its tail and ran toward Fu Huai' an, whimpering coquettishly.
Fu Huai 'an bent over and reached out to stroke Little Blessing's head. Little Blessing squatted in front of Fu Huai' an and stretched out its neck, nudging its nose against Fu Huai 'an's palm and sticking out its tongue to lick it.
Jiang Chengyuan watched as Fu Huai 'an knelt down and gently stroked the smooth golden fur under Little Blessing's neck. He said in a low voice, "Huai' an … if it's convenient, I'd like to attend your wedding!"
As if afraid that Fu Huai 'an would reject him, Jiang Chengyuan hurriedly said, "I'll just take a look from afar …"
"The wedding I'm holding for Xiao Nuan isn't meant for others to watch." Fu Huai 'an's deep voice was calm, as if he was speaking to Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing earlier. Jiang Chengyuan couldn't hear any fluctuations in his voice.
"Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing can attend, but I can't? I'm your biological father! "Jiang Chengyuan deliberately lowered his voice.
Fu Huai 'an lowered his gaze and looked at Little Blessing, who was trying his best to act cute, and he let out a soft chuckle.
Jiang Chengyuan clenched his fists by his sides. For some reason, he recalled what Fu Huai 'an said the other time …
Your surname is Jiang, my surname is Fu, and so is the child's surname. Whose grandfather are you?
Seeing Fu Huai 'an turn his head and look at him with a deep and threatening gaze, Jiang Chengyuan's throat suddenly felt sore. He was afraid that Fu Huai' an would respond to him with this.
Without waiting for Fu Huai 'an to speak, Jiang Chengyuan said, "I know, my surname is Jiang … your surname is Fu! But it's an indisputable fact that you have my blood in you! At least half of your life was given to you by me! "
Hearing Jiang Chengyuan's words, Fu Huai 'an's hand, which was stroking Little Blessing, paused slightly, and the smile on his lips grew wider.
Fu Huai 'an stood up under Jiang Chengyuan's slightly trembling gaze. He put his hands in his pockets and turned to look at Jiang Chengyuan, who was slightly shorter than him. "That half of my life … didn't I return it to you in the Golden Triangle?"
Jiang Chengyuan felt as if his heart had been gripped tightly by a large hand, and it was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
Fu Huai 'an was referring to the time when Bi Wenyan used underhanded means to send Fu Huai' an to the Golden Triangle!
Jiang Chengyuan still remembered that he was the one who agreed to it. Before Fu Huai 'an left, he went to see Fu Huai' an and told him to carry out the mission with a peace of mind. However, Fu Huai 'an almost lost his life there time and again …
"In the future, don't come to Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing's place! Putting aside the fact that you've disturbed their peace … "Fu Huai 'an's gaze was calm, and he always looked calm and mature." Even if Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing were to speak up, I wouldn't be able to sit down with you and pretend to be a father and son. "
Veins popped up on the back of Jiang Chengyuan's hand, and his heart felt as if it had been gripped by a large hand. It was so painful that he couldn't even make a sound.
"I'm only here to commemorate your grandmother. It's not what you think!" Jiang Chengyuan explained.
Fu Huai 'an nodded seriously. "That's for the best!"
