Chapter 10

Tuan Tuan looked up at Lin Nuan. He wanted to get close to her, but he was still a little apprehensive, so all he could do was put on a sweet smile.

At that moment, Lin Nuan felt sorry for the child who lost his mother - he was too young.

Although Lin Nuan and the Lin family are not related by blood, she was really happy until she found out the truth.

In the Lin family, Lin Nuan's mother has always protected her meticulously, so much so that she is really sheltered like a delicate princess.

Lin Nuan bent down, picked up Tuan Tuan with his little elbow, and snuggled in his arms.

She wondered what to do with Lin if she was going to Lin's house that afternoon.

Fu Huai'an may not believe that others will take care of him. Otherwise, Bai Xiaonian may be a good candidate to take care of Tuan Tuan.

However, this matter definitely needs to be discussed with Fu Huai'an before she can ask Bai Xiaonian for help.

Tuan Tuan is a smart child. He knew Fu Huai'an's phone number very well. In fact, when Lin Nuan asked him, he managed to recite his two numbers.

After Bai Xiaonian finished tidying up, he glanced at the cute pudding in Lin Nuan's arms. She asked, "What's the matter with this kid?"

"Help me take care of him for a while, I need to make a phone call......" Lin Nuan looked at Tuan Tuan and said, "Accompany Aunt Bai for a while, okay?"

"Don't call me Aunt Bai." Bai Xiaonian held Tuan Tuan in his arms and brainwashed him shamelessly. "Call me sister."

Lin Nuan was speechless.

Bai Xiaonian took Tuan Tuan into the pantry to get some delicious food, Lin Nuan walked into the stairs and called Fu Huai'an.

When Lin Nuan told him about the situation, Fu Huaian asked, "Where is that Tuan Tuan now?"

"Tuan Tuan is with my friend," Lin Nuan replied.

Fu Huai'an was taken aback. Tuan Tuan has a strange personality, and he is usually reluctant to stay around strangers.

"Maybe he's doing this to attract Lin Nuan?"

Fu Huai'an sighed in his heart. Tuan Tuan really wants Lin Nuan to be her mother......

"If you're going to Lin's house, I can pick you up at the radio station. I'll leave Tuan Tuan to my assistant who can take care of him for us.

"So he didn't want others to take care of Tuan Tuan," Lin Nuan thought to herself. She agreed. "Okay. What time are you coming to pick me up, Mr. Fu?

"Thirty-twenty."

He replied without hesitation.

"Good. I'll be waiting for you downstairs at half past three.

"Of course."

Fu Huai'an answered concisely and hung up the phone.

Lin Nuan returned to the room and saw Tuan Tuan's chubby white face surrounded by the station employees. No matter how hard they tried to make fun of him, he wouldn't say a word.

As soon as he saw Lin Nuan coming in, Tuan Tuan jumped down from his seat and ran towards her. He stopped half a meter away and looked up at her. His big innocent eyes radiated a spark reserved only for her.

Lin Nuan felt that the caution in his movements was genuinely cute.

She bent down and stroked his little head, "Daddy came to pick us up at half past three." Hey, I know there's a great ice cream shop downstairs, how about we go get some ice cream for ourselves before he comes?

Tuan Tuan grinned like a Cheshire cat. He nodded desperately. "Yes!"

Bai Xiaonian walked to Tuan Tuan and said, "This kid seems to be very close to you.

Although Tuan Tuan didn't say anything, his actions raised some suspicions about his relationship with Nuan Nuan.

Lin Nuan's reputation was already very bad at that time. As soon as Bai Xiaonian came out, he was silently explaining to everyone that not much had happened between the child and Lin Nuan.

...

The ice cream shop is just downstairs.

Tuan Tuan sat in a chair a little taller than himself, holding an ice cream bowl in one chubby hand and struggling a scoop of ice cream into his mouth with the other.

Tuan Tuan saw the child on the other side sprinkle ice cream on his face, and his mother chuckled and wiped the corners of his little sweetheart's mouth—his heart ached with longing.

He glanced at Lin Nuan and felt a sinking feeling in his heart...... His face was also splashed with ice cream.

As Tuan Tuan lowered his head to take another scoop of ice cream, a soft, slender finger suddenly grabbed his head.

He raised his head and saw Lin Nuan gently wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Eat slowly... Look at the mess on your face. Lin Nuan's voice sounded so cute, like the first time he heard it on the radio. It's so soft – so soft that it's fuzzy inside.

"Good!" Tuan Tuan nodded. But he didn't want to eat slowly. He liked the way Lin Nuan gently wiped the corners of his mouth when he made a mess on his face. It felt like he was loved affectionately by a mother.

Bai Xiaonian sat opposite Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan, nibbling on her straw. She crossed her slender legs and had a worried expression on her face.

"You're really... Want to marry Fu Huai'an? Bai Xiaonian felt that Lin Nuan's decision was too hasty.

Lin Nuan nodded.

Bai Xiaonian knew that Lin Nuan was very smart. She was sure that Lin Nuan knew that Gu Hanyan was just using her, but she was actually willing to let herself be used by Wen Moshen.

"But what about your happiness?" Bai Xiaonian asked again: "What about the dignified fiancé that the Lin family arranged for you?"

"That's the fiancé they prepared for the daughter of the Lin family. Their lawful daughter should be the one who marries into the Gu family—"

Lin Nuan stopped himself in the middle of speaking.

Of course, the Gu family would not let a woman with a mentally retarded mother marry their only son.

Bai Xiaonian knows Lin Nuan too well. The real reason is that Lin Nuan has no feelings for the young master of the Gu family. If she had done so, she wouldn't have said it all so casually.

"So is it all worth it... Just for the sake of Wen Moshen? Bai Xiaonian asked, her eyebrows furrowed. Obviously, she doesn't think so.

Lin Nuan lowered his head and chuckled. "Even so, I still owe Moshen's brother. Maybe he won't hold a grudge in the future?

"Keep lying to yourself." Bai Xiaonian sighed.

Lin Nuan lowered her head and let out a faint laugh, with a blank expression on her face.

Among the crowd, how could Bai Xiaonian not know Lin Nuan's deep gratitude to Wen Moshen?

However, this is not that Lin Nuan is lying to himself. After all, it was her last warning to herself. She felt it was time to let go—let go of her past with Wen Moshen.

At half past three, Lin Nuan's phone rang. Fu Huai'an was calling.

"I have to go..."Lin Nuan grabbed his wallet and glanced at Tuan Tuan, who had already finished eating ice cream. Tuan Tuan, let's go. Here comes your father.

"Good!" Tuan Tuan nodded.

Bai Xiaonian sat in the ice cream parlor, watching Lin Nuan walk towards the black Bentley parked on the side of the road, tuantuan snuggled in her arms.

Under the sun, Fu Huaian stood at the back of the car, his lips biting his cigarette. He stood there in a navy blue fitted suit, his shirt unbuttoned to reveal his neatly ironed white shirt underneath. He didn't wear a tie.

His demeanor exudes the maturity and wisdom of a cultivated alpha male, and is intimidating at the first sight.

Bai Xiaonian double-forked, chin resting on his hand. She had to admit that Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan looked like a good match.

Bai Xiaonian had heard of Fu Huai'an. He is notoriously cold, especially towards women. Many of them tried to get close to him when they heard about his power in the bar profession, but they all got a terrible end.

However, why did Gu Hanyan refuse Fu Huai'an, a man with such qualifications, and was willing to marry her, but turned to Lin Nuan for help?
