Chapter 20
She shook her head. The suitcase sent by Fu Huai'an's assistant last night was lying in the living room with its contents wide open, and everything inside was messed up.
"Tuan Tuan woke up when you went to take a shower. He said the box was full of his stuff, so I rummaged through it and found his clothes and toothbrush...... The food delivery came immediately after Tuan Tuan changed and washed, and I didn't have time to tidy up ......," Bai Xiaonian explained.
"It's okay, I'll take care of it. Eat your breakfast first.
Tuan Tuan saw Lin Nuan pack up the box, put down the spoon and bowl, slid down from the chair, and ran to her.
Tuan Tuan knelt beside Lin Nuan, with a lovely smile, and handed back all the things thrown out to Lin Nuan. His fair, clean face still had puddings hanging from it, glistening in the sun.
Lin Nuan smiled softly and wiped her face with a tissue.
Bai Xiaonian grinned when he saw this. They do look like mothers and children.
...
Fu Huai'an has always been punctual. At eight o'clock, he had already gone downstairs as promised.
Lin Nuan took Tuan Tuan in his arms and led him downstairs. Bai Xiaonian finished breakfast and continued to take a nap at Lin Nuan's house.
As soon as Lin Nuan got in the car, he said to Fu Huai'an: "Before we go to the civil affairs place, can you send me to the pet hospital first?" It's on the road, right on Liberation Street.
Last night he saw a cat bed and litter box in Lin Nuan's house, as well as the British shorthair cat she was holding in the photo, but there was no sign of a cat in the house - it was in the hospital after all.
Fu Huai'an nodded. Lin Nuan gave the address to the driver.
Arriving at the main entrance of the pet hospital, Lin Nuan said, "I may need a while.
"No hurry," Fu Huai replied in a deep voice.
Lin Nuan closed the door and trotted into the pet hospital.
The nurse took Lin Nuan to see the mushrooms.
Lin Nuan felt like he was walking on thin ice all the way.
"The mushroom has been holding on, as if he is waiting for you......" The nurse said to Lin Nuan as she opened the door.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Nuan saw the mushroom lying on the kitten's bed, breathing rapidly, and his tail hanging down.
He couldn't fully open his eyes. All he could see was Lin Nuan's vague figure. He struggled to open his mouth and let out a faint "meow".
Lin Nuan's eyes moistened, although he was mentally prepared for that moment......
Today is the day when she and Fu Huaian want to get their marriage certificate. Even if there are mushrooms, is it time for Lin Nuan to officially say goodbye to the past?
Lin Nuan tried to hold back her tears. She walked over to Mushroom and patted him on the head.
Mushroom raised his head, his body began to tremble slightly, and the tip of his cold nose gently brushed Lin Nuan's palm. Then his head hung down again.
Mushrooms are the cornerstone of Lin Nuan's belief that Wen Moshen will come back. But that confidence was greatly eroded that morning when news of his imminent death came.
"Mushrooms..."Lin Nuan bent down and pressed her head on the mushroom's body.
"Meow," the mushroom replied painstakingly.
Lin Nuan felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if someone had cut off a piece of her heart and was leaking......
Lin Nuan closed his eyes. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
"Meow...", the mushroom let out another low, shrill meow.
Lin Nuan knew that the mushroom missed Wen Moshen as much as she did.
When Lin Nuan was in the pet hospital, Fu Huai'an's assistant told Tuan Tuan that after Fu Huaian and Lin Nuan received their certificates today, he would no longer be a motherless child.
He will also have a mother, and his mother is one of the most beautiful in the world.
Fu Huai'an looked deeply at Lin Nuan's clear facial features, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go......"
Lin Nuan nodded. She already had a layer of sweat on Fu Huai'an's hands......
The mushroom's thick pants pierced her heart like a needle.
"Mushroom, take a rest when you're tired, sleep......" Lin Nuan choked up: "That person... He may never come back.
Lin Nuan mustered all the courage in his heart to say this.
She clung to the mushroom, her heart shattered to pieces.
Mushroom licked Lin Nuan gently, trying to comfort her.
After a while, Lin Nuan felt the mushroom's breath go from weak to non-existent, and his head slid down gently......
Lin Nuan's tears fell like a waterfall. She hugged the mushroom tightly, trying not to cry out loud, but her body kept shaking.
The mushroom is gone, and Lin Nuan is getting married—so who else is waiting for Wen Moshen to come back?
Or maybe Mushroom knew that it was too difficult to wait alone, so he chose to leave on a day like today?
It's been a long time...
Lin Nuan took the mushroom in his arms and got up. She said to the nurse, "Please let Dr. Qin know that he can help me get the mushrooms away, just like he told me."
Lin Nuan couldn't bury the mushroom by himself. The pain was too much for her to bear.
The nurse nodded. "Well..."
When Lin Nuan came out of the pet store, he had already wiped away his tears. But her eyes were still red.
Tuan Tuan got out of the car, ran to Lin Nuan, and looked up at her......
A child is indeed sensitive. He immediately sensed Lin Nuan's grief. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to do.
In the car, Fu Huaian turned to the side and saw Lin Nuan through the window. She smiled and knelt down.
She gently held Tuan Tuan in her arms.
Tuan Tuan's chubby little hands gently stroked Lin Nuan's head. He imitated the way his father treated him when he was sick, and whispered in a childlike voice, "Now there, Mommy will be fine."
Lin Nuan hugged Tuan Tuan tightly, savoring the comfort and warmth he fed to her heart.
She smiled in the sun, her chiseled features softened in the haze.
In the car, Fu Huaian patiently waited for Lin Nuan's mood to settle down.
Lin Nuan didn't say a word from beginning to end. She kept staring outside, her expression either relieved or completely dazed.
At the door of the Civil Affairs Building, Lin Nuan checked his ID card and personal documents again before handing them over to Fu Huai'an's assistant.
As soon as he got out of the car, Fu Huaian grabbed Lin Nuan's hand without saying a word. She was taken aback and unconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but she resisted the urge to do so.
Fu Huai'an's strong grip wrapped Lin Nuan's slender fingers in his fingers, and the warmth made Lin Nuan's heart flustered.
She turned around and looked at Fu Huai'an. She felt that his strong features were clearer than ever in the sunlight.
The fitted suit wrapped around Fu Huai'an's tall and well-defined figure, making his legs appear more slender than usual.
He has already attracted a lot of attention after getting out of the car. After all, someone like him with such a magnetic, alpha-like presence effortlessly catches people's attention wherever he goes.
Lin Nuan felt uncomfortable and embarrassed holding his hand. She brushed her hair behind her ears, but as soon as she touched them, she noticed that they were hot.
Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan's hand-in-hand has attracted a lot of attention.
Accompanied by the driver, Tuan Tuan leaned against the window, looking at their intertwined hands, a bright smile spread across his face......
