After asking for a while, Lin Nuan finally understood from his fumbling sentences that he snuck out when Auntie Li was in the kitchen. The kind-hearted cab driver saw a child on the streets early in the morning and let him get on the cab so he could ask where his parents were. Tuan Tuan showed him the âMorning Newsâ and the driver brought Tuan Tuan here.
Auntie Li must be worried sick since she couldnât find the kid. Lin Nuan asked for Tuan Tuanâs home number. Tuan Tuan looked up and stared at Lin Nuan with his dark round eyes. He didnât want to lie and risk being unliked by his mom, yet he also didnât want to tell the truth and have her send him back.
âThe kid is too little, he must not remember itâ¦â Bai Xiaonian took out a white bunny candy out of her purse and passed it to Tuan Tuan in her palm.
Bai Xiaonian actually liked Tuan Tuan a lot. Who wouldnât like a child so adorable and pretty?
Concerned that Auntie Li must be panicking, Lin Nuanâs only choice was to call Fu Huaiâan so he could pass the message to Auntie Li.
She picked up the phone and thought of Fu Huaiâan⦠that forced kiss in the car, those wordsâ¦
Her ears grew red and her mouth still seemingly lingered with the taste of Fu Huaiâanâs tobacco in it. Feeling tongue-tied, she pondered how to tell Fu Huaiâan.
Tuan Tuan suddenly tugged on her clothes. She moved her gaze from the phone to Tuan Tuan.
He didnât say anything â he just gazed up at her with those moist huge Bambi eyes of his.
Lin Nuan surprisingly understood the look in his eyes. She bent down and patted his head as she asked, âDo you want to stay with me?â
Tuan Tuan nodded furiously, the tip of his nose sniffling.
He recalled how he went for the checkup holding Auntie Liâs hand in the hospital earlier. All the other kids had their parents to accompany them and hug them as they pampered their sweethearts to go do their checkups, yet he didnât have a father⦠or mother by his side.
At that time, he really missed his mom. He too wanted to cry in his momâs arms and scream how he didnât want to do the checkup. Then his mom would softly comfort him and say, good boy Tuan Tuan, after you do it, the doctor uncle can let us go back home!
Tuan Tuan sniffed his nose and opened his arms wide to hug Lin Nuanâs leg. He buried his face into her leg and secretly teared up.
Lin Nuan gently patted his small head and said, âBut we still need to call your dad, otherwise he and Auntie Li will get worried if they canât find you at all.â
Tuan Tuan discreetly wiped away his tears on Lin Nuanâs pants and let go of her. He nodded and grabbed tightly onto Lin Nuanâs finger as if he was scared she would disappear the moment he let go.
Lin Nuan held Tuan Tuanâs hand as she called Fu Huaiâan, her grasp tightening on the phone.
She seemed to be a lot more assured when Tuan Tuan was holding her hand.
âHeyâ¦â
As he answered the call, Fu Huaiâanâs magnetic and resonant voice traveled straight into her right ear, heating it up considerably.
âTuan Tuan ran outside the house this morning and heâs here with me now. I donât have Auntie Liâs house number or yours, so I donât know how to contact herâ¦â
Lin Nuan could hear Fu Huaiâan let out a long sigh of relief on the other end of the line.
âPass the phone to Tuan Tuan,â he said in a serious and obviously angry tone.
Lin Nuan took a look at Tuan Tuan who was gazing up at her with his adorable eyes. She said, âThe child came to find meâ¦â
Fu Huaiâan understood what she meant by that. She was afraid he would scold Tuan Tuan and was hinting that he shouldnât. And yet she didnât want to ask him not to scold him right in front of Tuan Tuan, just so he wouldnât get nervousâ¦
