The waiter looked at Lin Nuan and felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen her before. Hearing someone calling for the waiter, the waiter hurriedly said, "You guys go ahead and order first. Call me when you're done!"
The waiter then left in a hurry.
Lin Nuan took out some tissues from her bag and washed the cutlery and teacups with tea. After wiping them with a tissue, she placed them in front of Bai Xiaonian, Fu Huai 'an, and Tuan Tuan.
Bai Xiaonian poured water into the teacup and clicked her tongue. "It's the same as when we were in school. I told you that you wouldn't get sick if you ate dirty food!"
Children couldn't drink tea. Fu Huai 'an was experienced in taking children out, so he stuffed a kettle into Tuan Tuan's backpack. The backpack was in the car.
He got up with the car keys and said to Lin Nuan, "I'll go get Tuan Tuan's backpack!"
Lin Nuan nodded.
She had just opened the door to the private room when she saw Lu Jinnan standing outside. He was in a position where he was about to knock on the door, his face twisted in surprise.
Bai Xiaonian looked up and saw Lu Jinnan standing outside the door. She subconsciously looked towards Lin Nuan.
There was no way Fu Huai 'an would know about the hotpot restaurant they frequented in university. For Lu Jinnan to suddenly find this place … it could only be Lin Nuan who told him!
But Bai Xiaonian saw an unconcealable surprise on Lin Nuan's face.
Lin Nuan was surprised. Lu Jinnan didn't reply to her message.
Bai Xiaonian was even more confused …
"I was driving past and saw you guys coming in, so I followed you, thinking that we could have a meal together. I'm not disturbing you, am I?" Lu Jinnan explained stiffly. His voice sounded especially hoarse from smoking.
Fu Huai 'an looked at Lu Jinnan with a hint of a smile and stepped aside. "Come in first. I'll go get Tuan Tuan's backpack!"
Lu Jinnan nodded and walked in. He nodded at Lin Nuan and looked towards Tuan Tuan.
He pretended to be calm as he took off his jacket and casually placed it on the back of the seat next to Bai Xiaonian. He asked Lin Nuan, "Can Tuan Tuan eat spicy food?"
Bai Xiaonian frowned. There was such a big table and so many chairs. Why did Lu Jinnan insist on sitting next to his ex-girlfriend?
"I want a mandarin duck pot. Tuan Tuan's side will be fine with clear broth. Add a little salt to the sesame sauce, so it's fine to eat a little less!" Lin Nuan lowered her head and stroked Tuan Tuan's head.
Under the dining table, Bai Xiaonian's hand, which was on her lap, was grabbed by a large hand. Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, as if it was going to jump out of her chest.
He struggled, only to be gripped even tighter.
Lu Jinnan didn't want to waste time arguing with Bai Xiaonian because the wheels had skidded and they had almost collided with the truck.
He remembered someone once said, "Who knows which will come first, the accident or tomorrow …"
In the past, Lu Jinnan didn't have a deep understanding of these words, but today, he couldn't deny that he was afraid!
He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stay together with Bai Xiaonian.
Even if they were separated by the Pacific Ocean, he could still fly over to see her if he missed her. It was better than never seeing her again.
Bai Xiaonian turned and glared at Lu Jinnan as a warning.
Lu Jinnan also turned around to look at Bai Xiaonian. He said, "I only saw Old Fu's back view just now. I didn't expect you to be here too. You're going to America soon. I have a gift for you. It's been in the car for a few days. Go get it?"
Lu Jinnan was very nervous when he said this, afraid that Bai Xiaonian would reject him.
Lu Jinnan wasn't someone who was good at lying to people he cared about. When he spoke, he stared fixedly at the other party without blinking … as if he was afraid that if he blinked too many times, the other party would see through him.
"What gift? I'm a little curious too! Xiaonian, show it to Tuan Tuan and me! "Lin Nuan smiled as she held Tuan Tuan in her arms.
Bai Xiaonian knew that Lin Nuan was helping Lu Jinnan, so she turned around and glared at Lin Nuan!
How could Bai Xiaonian not be angry that her hand was being held in Lu Jinnan's shameless palm and that her good friend was here to help him?
In her anger, Bai Xiaonian's ears were as red as the sky in the middle of a summer night.
Lu Jinnan was proud to his bones. This time, he was lowering his head in front of Bai Xiaonian. Lin Nuan knew that, but Bai Xiaonian knew it too!
The two of them had each other in their hearts. So when Lu Jinnan came, both Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian could guess the outcome.
It was precisely because she could imagine it that Bai Xiaonian couldn't control her ears from turning red.
His large and burning hand was holding hers. He didn't say much, but the scent of his hormones had already captured Bai Xiaonian's heart, making her heart beat faster and her blood rush.
"Let's go!" Lu Jinnan lowered his voice and tempted Bai Xiaonian.
Bai Xiaonian's heart beat even faster. It was as if she had been tricked into skipping class and doing bad things in high school, her heart beating like a drum.
"Let's go, what's there to be afraid of?"
Lin Nuan's gentle voice added fuel to the fire, looking as if she was watching a show.
Bai Xiaonian wasn't willing to back down. She nodded and forcefully pulled her hand out of Lu Jinnan's grasp. "I'll be right back!"
Lin Nuan nodded.
Lu Jinnan's hand was empty, but the sound of the chair rubbing against the old floor filled his heart, making him feel happy.
Lu Jinnan followed behind Bai Xiaonian. When he opened the door, he happened to come face to face with Fu Huai 'an, who was entering with Tuan Tuan's cartoon backpack.
"You're leaving?" Fu Huai 'an asked.
"Lu Jinnan said he had a parting gift for me! I'll go get it … "Bai Xiaonian's ears turned even redder.
Actually, she could totally let Lu Jinnan bring it in for her!
She came out to get it because she knew Lu Jinnan had something to say. Coincidentally, she wanted to hear if what Lu Jinnan said was what she wanted to hear.
In Bai Xiaonian's heart, Fu Huai 'an had always been a shrewd man. She was afraid Fu Huai' an would see through her, so she lowered her eyes, not daring to look at this man with a strong aura.
"En! There's no rush … Xiao Nuan and I will order first! "
After sending the two of them off, Fu Huai 'an closed the door and said to Lin Nuan with a smile, "The two of them probably won't be coming back! Do you want to eat hotpot here or something light? "
Fu Huai 'an hadn't forgotten about Lin Nuan's sore throat because of the heat from last night. It was one o' clock today … Fu Huai 'an meant for Lin Nuan to eat something light.
"That can't be!" Lin Nuan was doubtful. "At most, they'll talk for a little longer. Wouldn't it be bad for us to leave when they're back?"
Fu Huai 'an pulled out a chair and sat down. He took out Tuan Tuan's little water bottle from his backpack and poured a cup of water for Tuan Tuan with his beautiful fingers. He said with a hint of a smile, "Do you want to bet with me?"
Lin Nuan saw Fu Huai 'an's expression and felt her heartstrings tug. She bit her lip and asked, "Bet on what?"
Fu Huai 'an looked at Tuan Tuan meaningfully, his Adam's apple moving slightly. "They'll do whatever I tell them to do. Everything is within range!"
