Chapter 655 - Tuan Tuan Seemed to Be Getting Better at Acting Cute!
“Uncle Bai said we could go home after you’re done with the IV drip!” Lin Nuan raised her hand and stroked Tuan Tuan on his little head.
Tuan Tuan turned around and nodded in a somewhat disconsolate manner. His brows furrowed, his fair and tender little face not appearing too happy at hearing the news.
“What’s the matter?” Lin Nuan couldn’t help asking as she rubbed his soft little face.
Tuan Tuan looked up at Lin Nuan, his ears a little red, and his two chubby little hands patting his body as he said in his soft, cute, and now raspy voice, “Little darling, little sweetie…”
After he was done speaking, Tuan Tuan’s ears turned even redder.
Fu Huai’an was rendered speechless.
He discovered, Tuan Tuan seemed to be getting better at acting cute!
Lin Nuan looked at the adorable Tuan Tuan and couldn’t resist laughing out loud. She cupped Tuan Tuan’s scalding little face with both hands and leaned her forehead against his. “Right… Tuan Tuan is Papa and Mama’s little darling! Papa and Mama’s little sweetie!”
“En!” Tuan Tuan nodded solemnly, his eyes shining brighter than the galaxy, repeating in his soft and cute voice, “Darling, little sweetie!”
Lin Nuan planted a big kiss on Tuan Tuan’s little face!
Fu Huai’an couldn’t help smiling.
The kid seemed to want to be with his mother. Although Fu Huai’an raised Tuan Tuan to be fair and chubby, up until now, the kid couldn’t speak eloquently. His personality was also somewhat introverted and not as lively as other little children.
Now, with Lin Nuan around, the little one even boldly expressed his wish… for Lin Nuan to call him darling and little sweetie!
Fu Huai’an walked to the bedside, and with one hand on the bed, he circled his other arm around Lin Nuan’s shoulders. He then planted a kiss on Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan’s foreheads.
Tuan Tuan beamed happily, but he couldn’t hold himself back from coughing several times, such that his little face turned red from the coughs.
Because Tuan Tuan’s temperature fluctuated after he was done with the IV drip, the doctor advised that Tuan Tuan stay hospitalized overnight for observation.
Lin Nuan had a talk show in the afternoon, and it was a live broadcast, so she couldn’t afford to be late.
Lin Nuan didn’t feel safe leaving Tuan Tuan in the care of Little Lu, so after discussing it with Fu Huai’an, Fu Huai’an stayed around to take care of the kid while Little Lu sent her to the talk show. She would rush back with Little Lu after the talk show ended, and it would likely be fine.
Fang Yan knew that Lin Nuan’s son was hospitalized due to a fever and offered to come and pick Lin Nuan up from the hospital. She came with toys and fruits for Tuan Tuan.
Tuan Tuan hugged the toy car to his chest and thanked Fang Yan obediently, “Thank you, auntie!”
After several minutes, You Nainai came over too.
That day, after Fang Yan, Lin Nuan, and Miss Xia were done discussing matters about setting up the company, You Nainai gave her email address to Fang Yan in the capacity of Lin Nuan’s personal bodyguard. She very politely asked Fang Yan to send her Lin Nuan’s work schedule so that she could be prepared.
Originally, Fu Huai’an had given You Nainai a break and asked her to go back home and accompany her kid!
But today, as she was carrying Little Candy after getting her discharged, she sort of heard Tang Zheng and Bai Jinyu mention that Tuan Tuan was in the hospital as well. Hence, she came with presents to visit Tuan Tuan. She also took the chance to ask if Lin Nuan needed her to accompany her to the talk show, so she happened to bump into Fang Yan!
“Then ask Little Lu to stay around to guard you in case you need him. Sister Yan can accompany me to the talk show!” Lin Nuan said to Fu Huai’an.
“I’ll come along too!”
You Nainai had come here with this intention.
“Little Candy is sick, so you should go home and take care of her!”
Lin Nuan smiled at You Nainai. She appreciated You Nainai’s gesture, but a child needed her mother by her side the most when she was sick. If it weren’t for the fact that today’s talk show was scheduled in advance, Lin Nuan would certainly have stayed and accompanied Tuan Tuan herself.
“Little Candy has Tang Zheng by her side, so it’s okay!” You Nainai then looked to Fu Huai’an. Seeing Fu Huai’an nod, You Nainai felt relieved.
Unable to reject You Nainai, Lin Nuan bent over and said to Tuan Tuan, who was seated on his bed, “Mama is going to attend a talk show, it’s a live broadcast. Later, you can ask Papa to switch to that channel for you, and you can see Mama then. Okay?”
Tuan Tuan nodded his head obediently. “En!”
“Tuan Tuan is Mama’s little sweetie indeed!” Lin Nuan planted a kiss on Tuan Tuan’s brows.
Tuan Tuan blushed in an instant, nodding once again as he looked up at Lin Nuan, speaking with perfect articulation, “En! Little sweetie!”
…
This time around, only the director of “The Exorcist,” the male and female lead, and Lin Nuan were invited on the talk show.
Generally, such movie-themed talk shows mainly talked about happenings during the filming process, putting the director in the spotlight.
On the way there, Fang Yan told Lin Nuan that Director Chen had sent her the questions that would be raised during the talk show. This time, the show host would be asking Lin Nuan about the clash between her and Shu Xin on the film set, so Fang Yan asked Lin Nuan to prepare herself mentally for this.
Actually, Lin Nuan and Shu Xin didn’t exactly have a direct conflict. At that time, when Lin Nuan came out with her makeup and clothes ready, Shu Xin was already done quarreling with Director Chen.
“You don’t need to be overly anxious, just say it as it is! There were so many people present that day, all of them can vouch for you!” Fang Yan said when she saw Lin Nuan frown.
You Nainai, who was at the wheel, looked at the black car following them at a moderate distance through the rearview mirror. You Nainai had seen this car plate number several times on the way there, so she paid special attention.
You Nainai deliberately turned on the signal and acted like she was going to drive out of the Third Ring and onto the side road of the Third Ring…
Indeed, that black car also turned on its right signal and was about to swerve to the right from the leftmost lane.
“Nainai, this isn’t this exit, it’s the next one. Get on the bridge directly…”
Fang Yan, who was seated at the back with Lin Nuan as they perused the interview questions, raised her head and reminded You Nainai.
“Is it? Then I must have remembered it wrongly…” You Nainai hit the right signal again, then got into the middle lane, directly driving onto the elevated bridge. All the while, she was constantly staring in the rearview mirror.
Indeed, that black car didn’t drive out of the Third Ring’s exit, instead, following them onto the elevated bridge.
You Nainai felt anxious, but at the same time, she wondered whether it was men sent by Fu Huai’an to protect Lin Nuan. With Lin Nuan around, she couldn’t very well call Fu Huai’an.
She decided to first send Lin Nuan into the studio before calling Fu Huai’an up to verify this matter.
You Nainai paid close attention to the black car behind them as she drove to the TV station building.
Lin Nuan’s fans were waiting there already, raising signs with Lin Nuan’s name and a cartoon version of Lin Nuan’s character from “The Exorcist.” The dozen or so little girls were gathered together and chit-chatting about their idol and their idol’s husband.
After parking the car, You Nainai sent Lin Nuan and Fang Yan to the dressing room together with staff from the production crew. You Nainai walked away to call Fu Huai’an under the excuse of going to the washroom.
She confirmed that the black car was indeed sent by Fu Huai’an to protect Lin Nuan, and they had deliberately done this today to give You Nainai the chance to recognize the vehicle in the future…
That way, if something should happen, You Nainai would know which car to bring Lin Nuan to on the spot.
