Chapter 109 - That Pr*ck, Lu Jinbei!
Tuan Tuan tugged on Lin Nuan, “Mama…”
“Yes? Lin Nuan looked down at the soft and squishy Tuan Tuan.
“Mama should wear it too…”
“This little kid is so adorable! He wants to wear matching outfits with his mama!”
The assistant wasn’t flattering them. From the moment Lin Nuan walked into the mall holding Tuan Tuan’s hand, the assistant girl standing at the door went outside to call for her colleague to come out and have a look at the incredibly cute Tuan Tuan.
Unable to reject Tuan Tuan’s look that was full of anticipation, Lin Nuan let the assistant bring over the woman’s matching outfit.
Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan stood in front of the mirror next to each other wearing the exact same outfit. Tuan Tuan let out a beaming smile.
“Madam… if you and your kid are going to wear this together, I’ll wrap up your outfits for you.”
The assistant was quite eager to help and had already brought out new outfits for both of them.
Lin Nuan was a bit taken aback from the title “Madam” – she didn’t know where and how to explain.
She nodded awkwardly and passed her card to the assistant.
Tuan Tuan tugged on the corner of her clothes and pointed at the male’s outfit with his chubby finger, “Papa…”
“….” Lin Nuan was speechless.
She could accept wearing the same outfit as Tuan Tuan, but with Fu Huai’an…
As she pictured how he’d look in the same outfit, her throat suddenly grew dry.
“Papa likes suits.”
Lin Nuan said somewhat sheepishly – since she never saw his closet before.
“Mama…” Tuan Tuan said in a soft voice, his tone hiding a hint of disappointment in it.
Lin Nuan really wanted to reject him, but facing his anticipatory look, she finally said to the assistant with furrowed eyebrows, “Wrap up the male outfit as well.”
Tuan Tuan’s eyes glowed, yet Lin Nuan’s face was burning hot.
…
In the supermarket, Lin Nuan hugged Tuan Tuan and put him in the cart facing her arms. He could see the beautiful curves of her jawline if he looked upwards – he was so happy his ears turned red.
“What flavor of toothpaste do you want, Tuan Tuan?”
Lin Nuan pushed the cart as she picked out daily supplies like toothbrushes and towels for Tuan Tuan on the shelves. She compared them carefully.
“Strawberry!”
Tuan Tuan heard a child cry in the distance. He turned around and looked towards that direction.
At the cashier, a little boy was hugging a toy as he cried and pleaded to have it. His mother roughly grabbed him by his arms and kicked his butt.
Tuan Tuan turned back to gaze at Lin Nuan’s serene face, still in shock, and realized his mother was the best – and the softest – in the world.
With their matching outfits, Tuan Tuan’s face beamed with contentment.
Lin Nuan was just going to ask Tuan Tuan if he preferred a Captain America toothbrush or an Iron Man toothbrush when her phone rang.
It was a stranger’s number.
As she answered it…
“Hello…” Lin Nuan said politely.
“I’m Lu Jinnan, Brother Fu asked me to deliver Tuan Tuan’s daily supplies and clothes to your place. I sent my brother over and he’s downstairs—go down to collect them!”
Lu Jinnan said quite clearly in a rushed tone. Lin Nuan could vaguely sense that his end of the line was rather busy.
Lin Nuan put back the toothbrush in her hands and answered politely, “I’ll let my friend go downstairs to fetch the items first.”
As she hung up, Bai Xiaonian coincidentally called. Lin Nuan told her Lu Jinnan’s brother was waiting downstairs and asked her to go collect the items.
…
Lin Nuan brought Tuan Tuan back home with many bags of groceries. As she entered the house Bai Xiaonian helped take the bags in her hand. She had a bad expression on her face and didn’t say much.
“Where’s Song Yao?”
“Song Yao is still asleep…” Bai Xiaonian replied.
After settling Tuan Tuan down in the living room to watch cartoons and eat yogurt, Bai Xiaonian and Lin Nuan entered the kitchen and placed the items in the fridge. Bai Xiaonian lowered her voice and said, “Do you know who Lu Jinnan’s brother is? That pr*ck, Lu Jinbei!”
