Lin Nuan looked at Tuan Tuan and remembered that when Fu Huai’an was at the Lins’ house, he’d said that Tuan Tuan was a child of an old friend that he was looking after.

Lin Nuan didn’t have any experience with handling kids, so she was thinking of how to interact with Tuan Tuan.

She raised her hand to tuck her wet hair behind her ear; just as she was about to speak to Tuan Tuan, she realized her throat was extremely dry.

Clearing her throat, Lin Nuan walked in front of Tuan Tuan, licking her lips before saying, “That auntie… She drank too much.”

Lin Nuan didn’t know if her way of explaining Bai Xiaonian’s actions would be understood by Tuan Tuan.

Tuan Tuan nodded his head.

“When Tuan Tuan grows up, you shouldn’t learn from that auntie.”

Tuan Tuan’s innocent eyes looked at Lin Nuan. But he wanted to copy that auntie—that way he could kiss and hug Mama.

Seeing that Tuan Tuan wasn’t saying anything, Lin Nuan thought that Tuan Tuan was too young to understand so she didn’t say another word.

She closed the bedroom door to let the drunken Bai Xiaonian take a good rest, while she picked up Tuan Tuan and carried him to the living room.

Fu Huai’an was currently sitting languidly with crossed legs on Lin Nuan’s couch, an unlit cigarette pressed between his long fingers; he held up the interview advertisement inside of the morning newspaper that Lin Nuan had left on the coffee table, together with the rental contract that Lin Nuan had yet to look through, his gaze deep and indifferent.

Lin Nuan’s rented apartment was not big; a two-room flat of 98 square meters, definitely big enough for a lady like Lin Nuan.

But when Fu Huai’an sat there, the living room looked somewhat cramped.

The warm light from the tall lamp shone onto the right side of Fu Huai’an’s face, tracing out his indifferent features and the stiff white collar of his shirt.

Fu Huai’an’s thick broad shoulders covered half of the light from the lamp, giving Lin Nuan the impression that his mature and calm aura felt all the more intimidating.

Fu Huai’an bit onto the cigarette from the corner of his lips and casually placed the interview notice onto the coffee table, looking at the apartment rental contract.

Lin Nuan placed Tuan Tuan down and turned on the main lights in the living room.

Fu Huai’an raised his head, looking up to see Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan standing together. He then put down the contract papers and lit up the cigarette at the corner of his mouth.

Lin Nuan watched Fu Huai’an silently, waiting for him to explain why he brought Tuan Tuan out at night and came to her house.

But ultimately… Lin Nuan was defeated under Fu Huai’an’s deep gaze. Thinking back to Bai Xiaonian’s embarrassing actions earlier on, she spoke with a burning face, “My friend drank too much…”

“Mm, I saw it and heard it…” Fu Huai’an’s thick voice sounded indifferent, and his tone was casual… It made Lin Nuan’s ears heat up.

He saw it? And heard it?

What did he see, and what did he hear?

Lin Nuan remembered Bai Xiaonian shouting about her breasts being big, and then touching her body from head to toe… She felt awkward and embarrassed, but then saw the barely visible smile on Fu Huai’an’s lips and her embarrassment turned into anger.

This man! The child was there too yet he didn’t try to evade the scene?

Silence fell in the house once more and Tuan Tuan looked at his chubby hand held tightly in Lin Nuan’s. He happily looked up at Lin Nuan with his clear eyes, completely unaware of the strange silence between Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan.

Lin Nuan’s gaze dropped to meet Tuan Tuan’s, and her face grew redder…

Lin Nuan didn’t think that Tuan Tuan was also laughing at her—children are too pure to think too much into these issues. After all, Fu Huai’an’s words were completely normal; it was her own heart that felt guilty so she flared up at Fu Huai’an’s words.
