Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Lin Nuan glanced at Chu Xun in the mirror, a maybe-smiling-maybe-not look on her face. This glance made things too obvious…

Chu Xun caught Lin Nuan’s glance and couldn’t keep still. She hurriedly tried to explain herself, saying, “Actually, there’s an unspoken rule at every TV station. Generally speaking… if the biggest sponsor specifically requests for it, the show host can be replaced. This time the sponsor behind Weng Lin…”

“How much did the sponsor who asked to replace Lin Nuan give Haicheng TV Station?”

Without waiting for Chu Xun to finish speaking, Fu Huai’an turned his head to Chu Xun, his rich and low voice giving off an imposing aura.

Even Tuan Tuan, who had one arm around Fu Huai’an’s neck, turned to look at Chu Xun with those clean and pretty dark eyes of his.

The meaning behind Fu Huai’an’s words was evident—Fu Huai’an was backing Lin Nuan up!

Chu Xun’s brows furrowed, her nails almost sinking into her tender flesh. The words got stuck in her throat; somehow, she couldn’t open her mouth. Her expression was becoming increasingly dark.

Lin Nuan yanked Fu Huai’an’s large hand that was holding onto hers.

“What is it?” Fu Huai’an turned to look at Lin Nuan with a slight smile. “Didn’t she say the biggest sponsor can request to change the show host? It was your host position to begin with. It’s only money…”

Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

So, was Fu Huai’an flaunting his wealth here?

Chu Xun’s face was unbearable to look at by now.

“I don’t have any lingering feelings for ‘A Sunday Date,’ and Miss Xia has resigned because of this. Miss Xia was the producer of the show, and now that she has left, we don’t even know what will become of the show going forward! Furthermore… Miss Xia has given me two invitations from other stations. One station is even willing to fork out the compensation sum to Haicheng TV Station on my behalf for breach of contract in order to show their sincerity. I’m already considering these offers.”

Regarding Miss Xia’s resignation, Miss Xia had thrown her resignation letter and left with her things before Chu Xun even received news of it. Her subordinates had meant to persuade Miss Xia to stay, so they hadn’t yet tendered her resignation to Chu Xun.

“A Sunday Date” was Haicheng TV Station’s top rated program; if they were to change the show host and producer abruptly, the style of the show was bound to change!

Chu Xun stared at Lin Nuan in astonishment. Since Miss Xia had handed Lin Nuan those two invitations from the other TV stations, Chu Xun inevitably guessed that these two TV stations might have invited Miss Xia over too!

If this was the case, and if Miss Xia ended up bringing Lin Nuan over, that meant that “A Sunday Date” would simply be transferred to another TV station directly!

Even if Chu Xun was silly, at the thought of this, she involuntarily took in a sharp breath of cold air.

Fu Huai’an nodded at Lin Nuan’s words. “No need to consider the compensation at all. Just pick a TV station that you like!”

Lin Nuan felt her heart warm up upon hearing this, and she nodded.

“Ding—”

Once the elevator reached the ground floor, Fu Huai’an walked out with Lin Nuan’s hand in his, carrying Tuan Tuan in his other arm. Chu Xun was frowning as she followed them out, not sure what she was thinking about.

At the hospital entrance, Fu Huai’an instructed Uncle Hu to send Miss Chu home, then politely said to Chu Xun, “We’ll be going first!”

Chu Xun nodded. She could only watch, her heart panicking wildly, as Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan left together with Tuan Tuan, hand-in-hand.

…

“Song Yao booked a suite at the Night Palace and wanted to have a gathering. Xiao Bai is still in the hospital now, so she can’t go. Do you want to go? If you don’t wish to, I’ll eat alone with Song Yao tomorrow. We can meet up for a gathering when Xiao Bai is discharged and can bring Lu Jinnan along with her.”

In the car, Lin Nuan was looking at her phone messages when she turned her head and spoke to Fu Huai’an, who was driving.

Actually, Lin Nuan didn’t at all want to bring Tuan Tuan to a place like the Night Palace. It was just that Song Yao sent a message telling her to ask Fu Huai’an and make sure he’d be there, so she asked.

Fu Huai’an’s driving route happened to pass by the Night Palace. Through the rearview mirror, Fu Huai’an saw little Tuan Tuan, who was obediently seated in the back with his seatbelt buckled. He asked Lin Nuan, “I noticed that you’ve been receiving text messages all through the drive. Is your friend persuading you to go?”

Fu Huai’an saw Lin Nuan’s unwillingness to take Tuan Tuan there, and he also noticed that Lin Nuan was feeling troubled over how to respond to her friend’s text, so he said, “I’ll send you to the Night Palace first. I’ll come over after sending Tuan Tuan home and settling him down!”

Lin Nuan twisted her head to look at Tuan Tuan, who was sitting in the back. Tuan Tuan’s little hand was gripping the safety belt, his large black eyes gazing at Lin Nuan as he showed her a vibrant smile.

“Tuan Tuan, Mama has an appointment with a friend tonight. You go back with Papa first. Sleep early tonight, ok?” Lin Nuan asked Tuan Tuan testingly.

Tuan Tuan didn’t appear unhappy at all. He nodded vigorously, then seemed to have thought of something that made his fair ears turn red. He felt his ears were a little itchy, so he scratched at them with his fat little hand. He gazed up in anticipation at Lin Nuan. “Mama…”

“En!” Lin Nuan nodded. Lin Nuan was always exceedingly patient with Tuan Tuan.

Tuan Tuan suddenly lowered his head; his two fat little hands were intertwined, and there was a shy look on his face. “Mama, give me one kiss!”

Lin Nuan paused momentarily.

Tuan Tuan then looked up at Lin Nuan. “Want to kiss… Mama! One small kiss…”

As he said those words, Tuan Tuan even gestured a little bit with his hands, blocking his blushing little face with those hands. He looked so, so adorable.

Lin Nuan recalled this morning before Tuan Tuan had left for kindergarten, how he had secretly moved his little face close to her mouth. Her heart was filled with warmth at the recollection of that.

Tuan Tuan always managed to warm Lin Nuan’s heart at unexpected moments, melting her troubles away.

Fu Huai’an took a glance at Tuan Tuan through the rearview mirror. Catching little Tuan Tuan’s look of anticipation, he asked, “How come you’ve never asked me to give you one kiss?”

Tuan Tuan thought about it, then answered in all seriousness, “Papa is prickly!”

Fu Huai’an’s mustache was prickly, unlike his mama’s smooth face…

Fu Huai’an was rendered speechless.

Lin Nuan looked at Fu Huai’an. To add insult to Fu Huai’an’s injury, she asked Tuan Tuan in a small voice, “Then, what if Mama’s face was also prickly? Would Tuan Tuan still let Mama kiss?”

Almost without hesitation, Tuan Tuan frantically nodded his head with vigor, his entire body charging in Lin Nuan’s direction like a little bomb. If it weren’t for the safety belt holding him in place, little Tuan Tuan would’ve charged over to Lin Nuan. His two fat little hands were holding onto the safety belt as he replied to Lin Nuan seriously, “Will kiss even if prickly!”

Tuan Tuan was acting like he feared that Lin Nuan wouldn’t kiss him!

Lin Nuan smiled and extended a hand to stroke Tuan Tuan’s little head. “Ok, later, Mama will get out of the car and kiss you!”

The son that Fu Huai’an had painstakingly raised from a baby actually disdained him for being prickly! Fu Huai’an felt a little annoyed, but seeing the gleeful expression on Lin Nuan’s face as she glanced over at him, the feeling evaporated in an instant. He’d just let Lin Nuan bask in her glee…

Actually, if Tuan Tuan were closer to him than to Lin Nuan, Fu Huai’an would worry.

It was in kids’ nature to be closer to their mothers. It was all good…
