In the Lin Family, Lin Nuan's mother had been utterly protective of her, to the extent that she had been literally sheltered like a delicate princess .
Lin Nuan bent down and lifted Tuan Tuan up by his tiny little elbows, nestling him in her arms .
She pondered what to do with him if she was going to go to the Lin Family that afternoon .
Fu Huai'an might not trust anybody else to look after him . Otherwise, Bai Xiaonian could be a good candidate to take care of Tuan Tuan .
However, the matter definitely needed to be discussed with Fu Huai'an before she could ask Bai Xiaonian for her help .
Tuan Tuan was a bright kid . He could remember Fu Huai'an's phone number quite clearly . In fact, he managed to recite both of his numbers when Lin Nuan asked him .
Bai Xiaonian finished tidying up and took a look at the adorable pudding in Lin Nuan's arms . She asked, "What's the deal with this kid?"
"Help me look after him for a bit, I need to make a call…" Lin Nuan looked at Tuan Tuan and said, "Stay with Aunt Bai for a while, okay?"
"Don't call me Aunt Bai . " Bai Xiaonian took Tuan Tuan into her arms and shamelessly brainwashed him . "Call me Sister . "
"… . " Lin Nuan was speechless .
Bai Xiaonian took Tuan Tuan into the pantry to get something nice to eat while Lin Nuan walked into the stairway and called Fu Huai'an .
When Lin Nuan told him about the situation, Fu Huai'an asked, "So where's Tuan Tuan now?"
"Tuan Tuan is with my friend," Lin Nuan replied .
Fu Huai'an was taken by surprise . Tuan Tuan had an odd personality—he usually wasn't willing to stay around strangers .
"Maybe he's doing it to suck up to Lin Nuan?"
Fu Huai'an inwardly let out a sigh . Tuan Tuan really did want Lin Nuan as a mother…
"If you're going to the Lins, I can pick you up at the radio station . I'll hand Tuan Tuan over to my assistant who can babysit him for us . "
"So he was unwilling to let someone else look after Tuan Tuan," Lin Nuan thought . She agreed . "Okay . Then what time are you coming to pick me up, Mr . Fu?"
"Three-twenty . "
He answered without hesitation .
"Very well . I'll be waiting for you downstairs with Tuan Tuan at three-twenty . "
"Sure . "
Fu Huai'an hung up the phone after giving a succinct response .
Lin Nuan returned to the room and saw Tuan Tuan's chubby, fair face surrounded by the station's employees . No matter how hard they tried to tease him, he wouldn't say a word .
As soon as he saw Lin Nuan come in, Tuan Tuan leaped off the seat and ran towards her . He stopped himself short half a meter away to look up at her . His huge, innocent eyes radiated a spark reserved only for her .
Lin Nuan found the cautiousness in his movements to be genuinely endearing .
She bent over and caressed his tiny head, "Father will pick us up at three-twenty . Hey, I know an awesome ice-cream shop downstairs, how about we go get ourselves some ice cream before he gets here?"
Tuan Tuan grinned like a Cheshire cat . He nodded furiously . "Yes!"
Bai Xiaonian walked towards Tuan Tuan and said, "This kid seems particularly close to you . "
Even though Tuan Tuan didn't say anything, his behavior raised some suspicions regarding his relationship with Nuan Nuan .
Lin Nuan's reputation was already pretty bad at that point . As soon as Bai Xiaonian said that, it was a silent explanation to the crowd that there wasn't much going on between the child and Lin Nuan .
The ice-cream shop was right downstairs .
Tuan Tuan sat in a chair a tad higher than himself, holding the ice-cream bowl in one of his chubby hands while vigorously shoving spoonfuls of ice cream into his mouth with the other .
