“I don’t remember her name, all I know is that she’s the host of the Ocean City radio station…”
“Her name is Lin Nuan, the radio hostess from six to eight every evening . Her voice is so lovely . ”
“I heard that she’s a beauty?”
Tang Zheng kicked Lu Jinnan under the table and snapped, “Did you hear what I said?”
Lu Jinnan put out his cigarette and answered, “I’m not deaf . I just think that Chu Xun is a better match for Fu Bro than Lin Nuan . ”
Someone from the mahjong table heard Chu Xun’s name and asked with a smile, “Whether or not Fu Bro settles down with Lin Nuan, why are you making such a fuss about it, Lu Jinnan?”
“He’s had a crush on Fu since he was a kid, apparently…” Tang Zheng stated jokingly . He picked up his phone and cigarette box and said to Fu Huai’an, “I’m going to call my girlfriend and get her to free some time to see you tomorrow . ”
…
The next morning, Bai Xiaonian came out of Lin Nuan’s bedroom and fumbled her way to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water from the fridge . She took a sip and spotted Tuan Tuan and Lin Nuan sleeping in the living room .
Bai Xiaonian was taken by surprise .
Lin Nuan was sitting on the carpet, her arm supporting her head . She was holding Tuan Tuan’s tiny hand and leaning on the sofa, fast asleep .
The morning light shone through the parted curtains . The golden rays of sunlight carved out Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan’s silhouettes—they looked like they were bathed in gold .
Bai Xiaonian leaned on the dining table, holding the bottle in one hand .
Bai Xiaonian already knew about Tuan Tuan’s identity…
But Lin Nuan wasn’t staying with Fu Huai’an because she genuinely liked him . So, there was no need to put so much effort into bonding with her future stepchild .
The rays of light moved leisurely across Lin Nuan’s fair, flawless cheeks and across her eyelashes . She slowly opened her eyes .
“You slept out here all night?”
Bai Xiaonian’s voice traveled across the room . Lin Nuan’s eyes squinted to block out the sunlight . She followed the source of the voice but all she could see was a green shadow…
It wasn’t until Bai Xiaonian walked up right in front of her that she realized who it was—she could finally see her pretty face clearly .
Tuan Tuan was still holding onto Lin Nuan’s hand, with no intention of waking up .
Lin Nuan pulled back the sheets that Tuan Tuan had kicked away last night and covered him up . She cautiously removed her hand and tucked his little elbows inside .
Tuan Tuan wasn’t used to feeling nothing in his palms . He turned around, smacked his lips then fell right back to sleep .
Bai Xiaonian passed the milk to Lin Nuan . She noticed the traces of the hoodie left on Lin Nuan’s right cheek from when she pressed against it last night . She asked with a hint of anger in her voice as she looked at Tuan Tuan, “What are you doing out here?”
“What time is it?” Lin Nuan asked .
Lin Nuan’s neck and shoulders were aching from sleeping in that position all night . She stretched her muscles and rubbed her neck .
“Six-thirty…” Bai Xiaonian sat down near Tuan Tuan’s feet and propped up her legs . She looked at Lin Nuan, still sitting on the floor . “You didn’t look after this kid the whole night, did you?”
“Nope, his father sent him over here last night . ”
“He really does see you as his mother,” Bai Xiaonian said with a grin .
“Keep your volume down, don’t wake him up,” Lin Nuan said as she lowered her voice .
It was only seven . The child could sleep for another hour…
Last night, Tuan Tuan had grabbed her hand before she could dry out her hair . After a whole night, she was left with a stuffy headache .
