Lin Nuan let herself calm down before asking, “What happened to make you bring the child over so late?”

“Tuan Tuan wanted to come and see you…”

Lin Nuan looked towards the little person standing beside her, all well-behaved and cute.

Lin Nuan was afraid that Tuan Tuan’s feet would get cold from only wearing socks, so she picked him up again and placed him on the one-seater.

She never had any male guests over so she didn’t have any slippers prepared for men. She found a pair of pink lady slippers for Tuan Tuan and placed them under his feet.

The slippers were still too big for Tuan Tuan, but they would have to make do…

Tuan Tuan’s gaze followed Lin Nuan around, Seeing her bend down, a few strands of wet hair fell down from her forehead and he wanted to use his chubby hand to help Mama put it behind her ear, but he was afraid that it would be too sudden, so he spoke softly in his cute voice, “Mama, your hair…”

Lin Nuan raised her eyes and smiled at Tuan Tuan, tucking her wet hair in and asked with a gentle look, “Do you want to drink some milk?”

Tuan Tuan nodded happily.

Lin Nuan’s gaze wandered to Fu Huai’an’s feet and she realized that Fu Huai’an’s well-polished hand-made, Italian shoes were openly stepping on Lin Nuan’s light brown rug.

Lin Nuan’s mouth twitched—Fu Huai’an was worse than a child. Even Tuan Tuan knew that removing one’s shoes when entering someone else’s house was basic manners.

“Mr. Fu, do you want tea or plain water? I don’t have any freshly ground coffee here…”

Lin Nuan subconsciously felt that Fu Huai’an should be someone who was particular about the little details in life. He should prefer drinking freshly ground coffee—instant coffees were probably not up to his standard.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lin Nuan had plain water, as well as tea leaves that Liang Mulan had brought over previously. It should be acceptable for Fu Huai’an.

“Plain water…” Fu Huai’an spoke with indifference on his face.

Lin Nuan turned to the kitchen to pour water for Fu Huai’an and milk for Tuan Tuan.

Tuan Tuan’s short limbs pressed onto the sofa to launch his jump down. With the oversized women’s slippers hanging on his feet, he stumbled around behind Lin Nuan, looking as though he could trip over the slippers at any time.

Lin Nuan got a shock, and she carried Tuan Tuan into the kitchen. Tuan Tuan felt so blissful that his ears turned red.

When Lin Nuan opened the fridge, Tuan Tuan stood beside her legs and raised his head to watch her, the cold air from the fridge cooling his heated ears slightly.

His big eyes were glued to Lin Nuan’s fridge—he felt a little hungry…

Lin Nuan took out the milk and poured some into the small pot to heat it up for Tuan Tuan, before pouring a glass of water for Fu Huai’an.

“Grrroooowwlll…”

Lin Nuan distinctively heard the sound of Tuan Tuan’s stomach rumbling. Tuan Tuan was instantly embarrassed, his small soft face turning hot.

Seeing Lin Nuan turn to look down at him, Tuan Tuan’s chubby hands went around his stomach as though she wouldn’t be able to hear the noise from his stomach if he hid it from her sight.

“Grrroooowwlll…”

Tuan Tuan’s tiny stomach didn’t give him any face and continued to rumble even louder instead.

“Hungry? Lin Nuan asked.

Tuan Tuan nodded his head.

Lin Nuan put down the glass of water to re-open the fridge…

Fortunately, under Liang Mulan’s care, Lin Nuan’s fridge was constantly filled with fresh groceries.

Lin Nuan placed Tuan Tuan on the couch again before passing the plain water to Fu Huai’an and pouring the heated milk into a glass for Tuan Tuan.

The temperature of the milk was just right and Tuan Tuan grasped the glass of milk with both hands as he took a few gulps. When he heard Lin Nuan asking him if he wanted to eat noodles with eggs, he looked up at Lin Nuan with a milk mustache around his lips. Stretching out his tiny pink tongue to lick it off, he clutched the glass and replied, “Yes…”
