Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Fu Huai’an was in an excellent mood after hearing his son confess to him. “I’ll allow you to drink a glass of fruit juice today.”

Tuan Tuan rubbed his little face against Fu Huai’an’s chest and flashed him a bigger grin to express that he was delighted.

Fu Huai’an stroked his silly son on his head. “Get back to your seat and finish your food!”

“En!” Tuan Tuan nodded his head vigorously, then got onto the ground from Fu Huai’an’s embrace, bouncing back to his seat and crawling back into it on tiptoes.

In the kitchen, Auntie Li, who was wiping the stove, heard the chatter from the dining room and involuntarily raised her head and looked in that direction…

Ever since she had come to Tianfu Bay, she had never seen the place so crowded and alive before.

This was such a wonderful feeling!

In the past, she always felt that Tuan Tuan was too lonely, that Tianfu Bay was too cold and devoid of life!

Auntie Li was quite fond of that kid, Little Candy. She thought that if Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an could give birth to a little daughter like Little Candy to keep Tuan Tuan company, that’d be great.

…

After dinner, the two little kids who still had to attend kindergarten the following day fell asleep early on.

Lin Nuan arranged for Little Candy to sleep in Tuan Tuan’s room. Tuan Tuan was taken by Fu Huai’an to the main bedroom to shower, whereas Lin Nuan brought Little Candy to Tuan Tuan’s bedroom for her shower.

Little Candy was active in the day, so by the time Lin Nuan was done showering her and blow-dried her hair, the soft Little Candy had already fallen asleep in Lin Nuan’s arms.

After placing Little Candy on the soft bed, Lin Nuan quietly closed the door to the bedroom and walked towards her and Fu Huai’an’s bedroom, raising a hand to massage her neck.

Fu Tianci, who hadn’t eaten much at dinner tonight, was starting to feel pangs of hunger, so he was heading downstairs to find something to eat. On the way down, he happened to run into Lin Nuan; his mouth gaped open, but no sound came out.

“What is it?” Lin Nuan asked Fu Tianci.

Fu Tianci didn’t know if Lin Nuan truly understood his words that day, so taking this chance where Fu Huai’an and the others weren’t around, Fu Tianci couldn’t help reminding Lin Nuan again, “Fu Huai’an is truly, truly a wonderful man!”

The puzzled Lin Nuan stared at Fu Tianci. Fu Huai’an wasn’t around, yet Fu Tianci continued with his confessions?

Fu Tianci felt himself tongue-tied for the first time. He pulled at his own hair. “You… will continue to stay with Fu Huai’an, won’t you? Fu Huai’an loves you so much! You must… you must never, ever be led astray!”

Fu Tianci was putting it across rather subtly.

Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

Did she do something that caused Fu Tianci to misunderstand her?

What did he mean by led astray?

Although she didn’t understand what Fu Tianci was driving at, Lin Nuan still nodded her head cooperatively. “Ok…”

Only then did Fu Tianci heave a sigh of relief. “Then you get an early night’s rest. I’ll… go downstairs and… drink some water!”

Fu Tianci was too embarrassed to admit he was going downstairs to hunt for food, so he hemmed and hawed and finally blurted out that he was heading downstairs for some water.

Lin Nuan nodded before reminding him, “Sleep early…”

“En!” Fu Tianci acted indifferently as he began walking in the direction of the stairs.

When he looked back, he saw that Lin Nuan had already entered the master bedroom. Fu Tianci let out a long exhale; hopefully, Lin Nuan could heed his advice!

…

The moment Lin Nuan entered the room, she saw the fair and tender Tuan Tuan seated on the bed while Fu Huai’an, who had his sleeves rolled up, wiped his hair with a large bath towel. Tuan Tuan’s entire body was moving from left to right with the rubbing movement, like a glutinous rice ball being rolled around.

Seeing the incoming Lin Nuan, Fu Huai’an put away the towel and said to Tuan Tuan, “Wear your pajamas properly and get back to your bedroom to sleep!”

Tuan Tuan took his cartoon one-piece pajamas, stuffing his chunky little leg into it and then slipping his arm into it. He sat at the head of the bed and buttoned up his pajamas, his dripping wet hair that was casually wiped by Fu Huai’an lying in a mess on his head.

Lin Nuan retrieved the blow-dryer from the bathroom and sat at the side of the bed, turning on the lowest power and blowing it at Tuan Tuan’s little head, her slim and soft fingers combing through his hair.

Tuan Tuan was obediently seated on the large bed, back facing Lin Nuan, blissfully moving his outstretched legs about on the bed…

Mama was so much gentler than Papa! The air from the hair-dryer was warm, and it was as though that warmth had entered Tuan Tuan’s heart.

Fu Huai’an leaned against the door to the balcony, an unlit cigarette in his hand, full of smiles in his eyes.

Once the sound of the hair-dryer stopped, little Tuan Tuan reached out for a yard after taking an inch; kneeling on the bed, his little hand grabbed Lin Nuan’s arm as he climbed up to Lin Nuan, his little mouth edging close to Lin Nuan’s ear as he whispered in a small voice, “Tuan Tuan, wants to… sleep here!”

The hot air from his speech blew upon Lin Nuan’s ear, giving an itchy sensation…

Tuan Tuan stared at Lin Nuan with those big and bright eyes of his, and Lin Nuan couldn’t bring herself to reject him.

“No! Go back to your own bedroom! Little Candy is here today too, can you bear to leave her all alone in the room?” Fu Huai’an straightened his body and walked over from the door, stuffing that cigarette back into the pack and lowering his lighter. He walked over and immediately lifted Tuan Tuan into his arms.

“Mama!” Tuan Tuan reached out his arms to the soft-hearted Lin Nuan as he stared at her pitifully.

“Huai’an…” Lin Nuan got up and couldn’t resist calling out to Fu Huai’an.

“Tuan Tuan is no longer one or two years old, so how can he still sleep with Papa and Mama? Besides, your little friend is in your bedroom right now…” Fu Huai’an reasoned in a decent manner.

“Little Candy’s already asleep, why don’t we let Tuan Tuan play here for a while more. When he’s tired, we’ll bring him back to his room!” Although it sounded like Lin Nuan was trying to negotiate with Fu Huai’an, she had already walked to Fu Huai’an and taken Tuan Tuan into her own arms.

Fu Huai’an was rendered speechless.

Tuan Tuan was placed back onto the large bed by Lin Nuan. He happily sat there, looking at Lin Nuan, who was next to him, then looking to Fu Huai’an.

“It’s so late at night, what is there to play with Tuan Tuan?” Fu Huai’an gazed at his son, who had a silly grin on his face. He couldn’t resist saying to Lin Nuan, “Let him go back to his bedroom and sleep. Whatever you want to play, I’ll play it with you!”

Lin Nuan’s ears flushed instantly as she glared at Fu Huai’an.

Tuan Tuan was still here, how could he dare to be so brazen!

Seeing Tuan Tuan dressed in yellow Katuri pajamas, without looking at Fu Huai’an, Lin Nuan said to Tuan Tuan, “Let’s watch Katuri ¹ …”

Tuan Tuan nodded his head vigorously; so long as he was watching it with Mama, everything was good!

Fu Huai’an didn’t expect Lin Nuan to shift Tuan Tuan to the sofa and start watching the incredibly childish cartoon, and furthermore, with relish.

Fu Huai’an looked exasperated, suddenly feeling like Lin Nuan wasn’t merely coaxing a kid—she herself was too, a kid…

“I’ll go take a shower first…” Fu Huai’an had no choice but to do so.

As Lin Nuan heard the sounds of the shower coming from the bathroom, the corners of her lips turned up.

The soft Tuan Tuan was nested in Lin Nuan’s arms, and it didn’t take long before he drifted to sleep.

Hearing Tuan Tuan’s even breathing, Lin Nuan slipped her feet into her slippers and gently lifted Tuan Tuan. She sent him back to his own bedroom, settling him next to Little Candy and covering him with blankets properly, and only then did she return to her room.

The sounds of the shower had yet to stop. Lin Nuan turned off the tv, grabbed her phone, then walked towards the large bed as she stretched her shoulders.
