Lin Nuan shook her head. "No, I've already rejected it. Although it's a good thing, I'm not willing to get you and the Kaide Corporation involved …"
Fu Huai 'an couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
In the middle of dinner, the servants served Lin Nuan a drink. Her cup was made with peanut butter and red dates. It tasted bitter and astringent. If it weren't for the sweetness, Lin Nuan wouldn't have been able to drink it!
Lin Nuan put it aside after a few sips.
Auntie Li took the opportunity to educate Tuan Tuan. "Eat properly, don't be picky. Otherwise, look at how uncomfortable Mama feels drinking that tea!"
Tuan Tuan frowned and asked Lin Nuan with his learning chopsticks, "Does it taste bad?"
Lin Nuan nodded cooperatively. "It tastes really bad! But you have to drink it all, it's so bitter … "
Tuan Tuan's brows furrowed even more. He slid down from the dining chair and bounced over to Lin Nuan. With a tense face, he climbed onto the chair next to Lin Nuan on all fours and stood on it, reaching out his hand towards Lin Nuan. "Drink for Mama!"
Lin Nuan didn't expect Tuan Tuan to say that. She was more touched than surprised.
She rubbed Tuan Tuan's little head. "Mama has to drink it herself for it to be effective!"
Tuan Tuan got down from the chair and bounced to the kitchen. After a while, he ran back to Lin Nuan with a box of dried fruits. Quite a bit of the candied fruit in his arms spilled out, and he held it up high on his tiptoes to hand it to Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan didn't touch the peanut butter drink for the rest of the meal.
Fu Huai 'an slowly wiped his mouth with a napkin. "Tuan Tuan even brought you candied fruit …"
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
In the end, Lin Nuan still finished the entire cup under Fu Huai 'an's threat!
Perhaps because he slept in Lin Nuan's arms for a while that afternoon, Tuan Tuan was in high spirits. It was already bedtime, but he still dragged Fu Huai 'an to play with the remote control plane in the living room.
At 8: 30, Lin Nuan received a call from Liang Mulan on time, asking about the condition of her arm wound.
Ever since Liang Mulan found out that Lin Nuan was injured, she had been calling her every day. Fu Huai 'an wasn't around, and Lin Nuan was recuperating at home. Liang Mulan ran to the Fu residence almost every day to make soup for Lin Nuan and take care of her …
Today was the day that Liang Mulan and Lin Jingquan returned to the Lin family mansion to accompany Old Master Lin and Old Madam Lin, so they didn't come!
When Liang Mulan got home that night, she was still worried and called Lin Nuan to ask about the situation.
"Mom, don't worry about me. My arm is fine. It's just a little itchy today."
Through the gauze, Lin Nuan rubbed the wound on her back. It felt like she was scratching an itch through her boots, and it wasn't a good feeling.
"Itching is a good thing. Itching means you're about to recover! Don't scratch or scratch the wound. Bear with it … You'll be able to get through it when it's all healed. Otherwise, it won't look good if there's a scar! "Liang Mulan coaxed Lin Nuan like a child.
"I know, Mom …" Lin Nuan replied.
Liang Mulan told Lin Nuan that … Old Madam Lin and Old Master Lin had also been talking about Lin Nuan's injury this year. If it weren't for Liang Mulan stopping them, the two elders would have called Lin Nuan to ask about her condition.
Old Master Lin watched the video and was infuriated by how Lin Nuan's arm had been smashed. He directly told Lin Chen to investigate the lad who had smashed Lin Nuan's arm. It was obvious that he wanted to stand up for Lin Nuan.
Seeing how angry Old Master Lin was, Lin Chen told him that Fang Yan's husband was a department supervisor at Qi Yue Company. He heard that Qi Yue Company was planning to transfer him to a new company in South Africa to explore new land. He wasn't willing, so the company found an excuse to fire him. It was the Kaide Corporation's newly appointed president, Lu Jinnan, who had made the arrangements.
Only then did Old Master Lin calm down a little.
Lin Ran, who had been sitting at the side, seemed to be paying close attention to the development of this matter and knew quite a bit. She said that Fang Yan, the manager whom Lin Nuan was protecting, had officially started going through the legal process. It was inevitable that Fang Yan's husband would be kicked out of the family with nothing.
Liang Mulan chatted with Lin Nuan about Old Master Lin's situation, and she couldn't help sighing about how Fang Yan had met the wrong person. Knowing that Fang Yan had an eight-month-old child, Liang Mulan urged Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an to hurry up and have a child while they were still young. She couldn't count on Lin Chen anymore, so she planned to help Lin Nuan take care of the child and enjoy the life of a grandchild in her later years.
Lin Nuan didn't tell Liang Mulan about her possible pregnancy at the hospital today. Firstly, she was afraid that Liang Mulan would rejoice for nothing. Secondly, she hoped that their baby wouldn't come for the time being.
Before hanging up the call, Liang Mulan reminded Lin Nuan to cherish Fu Huai 'an, saying that Fu Huai' an could be said to be a rare good man.
Lin Nuan gazed at Fu Huai 'an, who was putting together Legos with Tuan Tuan. Under the lights, his deep gaze was tinged with warmth, and she nodded in agreement.
After Liang Mulan hung up the call, Tuan Tuan lay on the sofa, rubbing his eyes and yawning in exhaustion.
"Tuan Tuan, if you're tired, you can sleep first. You don't have to go to kindergarten tomorrow, and you can play at home for the whole day!" Lin Nuan stood behind the sofa and bent over to kiss the top of Tuan Tuan's head, her voice gentle.
Tuan Tuan nodded and subconsciously raised his arms, wanting Lin Nuan to carry him. A large hand landed on the little one's head. "Mama's arm is injured!"
Tuan Tuan, who was already in a daze, retracted his hand and nodded. The little one had just been carried by Fu Huai 'an when he suddenly thought of something and broke free from Fu Huai' an's grip. He jogged over to Lin Nuan's side and hugged Lin Nuan's arm as usual, blowing on it. His cheeks puffed up like a sleepy hamster.
His little hand gently stroked Lin Nuan's bandaged arm and repeated like Little Candy, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts … "
Tuan Tuan held back his sleepiness and kept a straight face. He pretended to touch her arm as he repeated those words, then made a gesture for her to leave. He did this several times, and when he heard Lin Nuan say that it didn't hurt anymore, he smiled and allowed Fu Huai 'an to carry him upstairs.
…
Because of Song Yao, Bai Xiaonian's trip to the United States was pushed back from New Year's Day to January 7th.
Before she left, Bai Xiaonian didn't tell anyone except Lin Nuan.
Bai Xiaonian didn't like to cry when they were parting, so she didn't want anyone to send her off at the airport. However, Lin Nuan insisted.
Bai Xiaonian hesitated for a long time before agreeing.
After hanging up the call, Bai Xiaonian, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa and hugging a pillow, looked at her father, who was busy in the kitchen, and her eyes welled up.
Bai Xiaonian's mother's photo was placed on the old-fashioned refrigerator at home. It was a photo of Bai Xiaonian's mother and father.
Perhaps because Bai Xiaonian's mother wasn't home all year round, there were very few photos of her at home. Bai Xiaonian took one away, and there were only three or four photos left at home.
Hearing the sound of a porcelain bowl shattering in the kitchen, Bai Xiaonian hurriedly stuffed her feet into her slippers and ran to the kitchen. "What's the matter, Old Bai?"
The moment she entered, Bai Xiaonian saw her father bending over to pick up the broken pieces of a porcelain bowl.
