Chapter 17
"Hungry? Lin Nuan asked.
Tuan Tuan nodded.
Lin Nuan put down the water cup and reopened the refrigerator...
Fortunately, under Liang Mulan's care, Lin Nuan's refrigerator was constantly filled with fresh groceries.
Lin Nuan put Tuan Tuan on the sofa again, then handed the boiled water to Fu Huai'an, and poured the heated milk into the cup for Tuan Tuan.
The temperature of the milk was just right, and Tuan Tuan grabbed the glass of milk with both hands and took a few sips. Hearing Lin Nuan ask him if he wanted to eat egg noodles, he looked up at Lin Nuan. Grabbing the glass, he replied, "Yes......"
Tuan Tuan replied firmly, although he didn't know what Lin Nuan's egg noodles looked like.
Seeing that Tuan Tuan was really hungry, Lin Nuan decided to cook him a bowl of noodles that were easy to digest. She looked sideways at Fu Huai'an and asked out of politeness, "Mr. Fu, do you want to play too?"
Regarding egg noodles, Lin Nuan feels that her cooking skills are good enough......
Even though they are about to receive a marriage license, the way they interact ...... They were extremely far away from each other, especially Lin Nuan's polite address to Fu Huai'an.
Fu Huaian looked at his watch. Seeing that it is not early, and he has always had the habit of eating dinner, since Aunt Li is not here today...... Fu Huai'an, whose taste buds were cultivated into picky, really didn't eat anything that night.
After Lin Nuan asked, Fu Huaian was a little interested in those egg noodles......
"I'm sorry to bother you..."Fu Huai'an's words were very polite, but his tone did not convey the same meaning, as if it should be.
Lin Nuan knew that it was because Fu Huaian was used to a higher position...... His tone was out of habit and not specifically aimed at her.
You're welcome..."Lin Nuan said, and had already turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare.
Fu Huaian looked at Tuan Tuan who was obediently holding the milk cup and asked, "Do you know what egg noodles are?"
Tuan Tuan shook his head, but he still looked happy......
In kindergarten, his friends always show off the delicacies that his mother prepared for them. It was the first time in so many years that Tuan Tuan had eaten food made by his mother, so he was really happy...... Whatever it is, Tuan Tuan will love it.
Lin Nuan took out tomatoes, eggs, and some green vegetables from the refrigerator.
From where Fu Huai'an was sitting, he could see Lin Nuan busy in the kitchen......
Lin Nuan tied up her still wet hair, and rolled up her sleeves to reveal her slender arms. She familiarly handles fresh vegetables, washing them under the tap.
The warm gaze reflected the water dripping on Lin Nuan's white and slender hands. They look especially beautiful...
The girl's home is always warmly decorated, unlike Fu Huai'an's home, which has a simple design and decoration...... The color scheme is simple and calming.
In Fu Huai'an's house, except for the more colored rooms in Tuantuan, the whole room was filled with a quiet and dull atmosphere.
It's like Tuan Tuan can't see Lin Nuan's house. His big eyes wander around. Although it was obviously bedtime, he was still energetic and excited.
Seeing a white cat bed on the balcony, Tuan Tuan ran over, pressed his little hand on the window, and looked out......
The cat bed, litter box and toys are neatly placed on the balcony.
Fu Huai'an hugged Tuan Tuan back and let him sit quietly on the sofa, his eyes falling on the photo frame in the corner......
In the frame is a photo of Lin Nuan, probably when Lin Nuan was 17 or 18 years old.
Lin Nuan was holding a gray British shorthair cat in her arms, smiling happily, while the gray cat seemed to be hanging out. With his eyes half-squinted, he lay comfortably in Lin Nuan's arms, and his tail hung lazily on Lin Nuan's arm......
Fu Huai'an involuntarily picked up the photo frame and took a closer look before putting it back in its original place.
Probably because of the long wait, plus he had just drunk a glass of milk...... Tuantuan's eyes began to feel tired. He rubbed his big eyes and leaned back on the couch, thinking that he would have to rest for a while before he could eat the good food that his mother was cooking.
The sound of a range hood came from the kitchen, and the sound sounded like a lullaby, making Tuan Tuan even more sleepy.
The phone rang in the living room, and Lin Nuan was putting unwashed tomatoes into the water. She looked up and saw Fu Huaian picking up the phone, with a cigarette in the corner of her mouth. As he bent down to pick up the lighter from the coffee table, the outline of his broad back muscles was revealed through his tight shirt.
He walked out onto the balcony, closed the sliding door, turned his back to the living room, lit a cigarette, and nonchalantly pocketed the lighter — every move was full of the charm of a mature man.
Lin Nuan realized that she was staring at Fu Huai'an's back for a long time, she lowered her gaze, and her ears were hot.
Her phone, lying quietly under the lamp on the table in the corner, did not move.
Who would have thought that Fu Huai'an's ringtone would be the same as Lin Nuan's - Mendelssohn's Rondo Caprice.
On the balcony.
Lu Jinnan's voice rang on the other end of the phone, "Old man, when are you coming over?" Tang Zheng rarely came back from overseas, and he lost if he didn't join our mahjong!
Tang Zheng, like Lu Jinnan, is Fu Huaian's childhood sweetheart; The three grew up together like real brothers. Since Tang Zheng went abroad, the three of them have rarely had the opportunity to reunite.
After leaving the Lin family today, Fu Huaian went to the party to welcome Tang Zheng back. Halfway, Tuan Tuan wanted to see Lin Nuan, so Fu Huaian brought the child over.
Lu Jinnan turned on the horn, and Fu Huaian could clearly hear the sound of mahjong tiles.
He removed the cigarette from his lips, pressed his thumb to his temple, and said, "I'll go back later."
"The old man didn't send the child over, but sent himself to the lady's bed!"
"Nonsense, the old man's belt is fastened! How many little ladies have we arranged so far? Even if they used all their strength, they still couldn't get out of it.
A few friends jokingly teased Fu Huai'an. There were no women there, so the men didn't care what they said.
"Can they be the same? That's Lin Nuan, the old man's moonlight!
After smoking a cigarette, Fu Huaian hung up the phone and walked into the living room.
Seeing that Tuan Tuan blinked slowly, and finally fell asleep, he took off his blazer and gently put it on Tuan Tuan, moving cautiously.
Raising his head, Fu Huai'an's eyes reflected Lin Nuan's busy back, looking so slender.
Fu Huai'an straightened up, unbuttoned his sleeves, and placed the watch on the small corner table above the Lin family's account......
In the kitchen, the pot of boiling water on the stove made a sound, and Lin Nuan quickly lowered the flame with a pair of chopsticks in his hand...... When she turned to add a bowl of water, she saw Fu Huai'an walk into the kitchen.
When the eyes of the two met, Lin Nuan was stunned for a moment. After all, Fu Huai'an, dressed in formal attire, didn't look like he belonged to that rather small kitchen.
"Do you need anything?" She asked.
"I'm here to help..."
Fu Huai'an is quite tall and has long legs, and as soon as he enters, the whole kitchen looks much smaller.
Lin Nuan even felt that it was difficult to breathe.
He rolled up his sleeves naturally, bent down to wash his hands, and then pulled out a few kitchen towels to wipe his hands...... Turning around, he managed to squeeze Lin Nuan aside.
Lin Nuan watched Fu Huai'an pick up the fans she put aside. He took out some noodles, put them in the pot in a practice way, stretched out his hand and said, "Chopsticks."
