Lin Nuan hurriedly passed the chopsticks in her hand to Fu Huai’an. Fu Huai’an’s hand touched her fingers and she felt a slight tingle in her fingertips…

She stood at the side and watched Fu Huai’an, surrounded by the humid steam.

Lin Nuan had never expected that the man in his formal wear would actually be so good in the kitchen.

When Lin Nuan stayed with the Lins, her father and brother were often busy with the company’s matters and had never entered the kitchen. They were completely lost when it came to anything that involved cooking, so Lin Nuan naturally assumed that men who wore suits never entered the kitchen.

Lin Nuan was still standing at the side, immersed in random thoughts.

“Pass me a bowl…”

Hearing Fu Huai’an’s voice, Lin Nuan brought a bowl over…

Seeing the hot noodles taken out of the pot, Lin Nuan didn’t know if it counted as egg noodles that she’d prepared for Tuan Tuan.

When Lin Nuan brought out a small bowl of noodles, the tiny Tuan Tuan had already fallen asleep comfortably on the couch with Fu Huai’an’s jacket over him.

Lin Nuan furrowed her brows… Fu Huai’an didn’t even tell her that the child had fallen asleep.

Fu Huai’an sat down at the dining table and ate a bite of the noodles elegantly.

“Tuan Tuan will stay at your place for one night tonight.”

Lin Nuan turned her head to see Fu Huai’an putting down his chopsticks and speaking to her over the steam rising from the bowl of noodles.

Before Lin Nuan could ask further, Fu Huai’an continued, “Tomorrow after we get our marriage certificate, pack your stuff and move in to my place. Stop renting the place here.”

Lin Nuan knew that Fu Huai’an had seen the apartment rental contract on her coffee table and knew that the contract was expiring in two months…

Not hearing a reply from Lin Nuan, Fu Huai’an raised his head and fixed his deep gaze on Lin Nuan, saying, “Don’t tell me you’re thinking that after we get married, we’re going to live separately?”

Lin Nuan shook her head, replying, “No, it’s just that… This place is closer to the broadcast station. If I live at your place, I’ll have to check which bus or train I have to take.”

“It’s indeed inconvenient to get to the radio station from home. Do you know how to drive?”

Lin Nuan nodded.

“You can go pick a car you like…”

Was Fu Huai’an saying that he was giving her a car?

Lin Nuan hurriedly refused him, saying, “It’s okay. I have enough of my own savings to buy a car, but Haicheng’s traffic gets congested easily so driving a car may not be as fast as taking the train.”

Lin Nuan was a proud girl—Fu Huai’an could tell so he didn’t try to force the issue.

Fu Huai’an ate only a bite of the noodles and he left the rest untouched.

After a short while, his assistant sent over a suitcase containing all the stuff Tuan Tuan would need the next morning.

Afterward, Fu Huai’an didn’t stay. He only said that he’d pick up Lin Nuan at eight in the morning to head to the civil affairs bureau. He then walked out.

Tuan Tuan was still asleep on the couch, his body covered by Fu Huai’an’s expensive, dark-colored suit jacket…

Lin Nuan, with no experience in caring for kids, didn’t know if she should move Tuan Tuan. She was afraid that if she carried Tuan Tuan to bed, it would wake him up and interrupt the child’s sleep.

After some thinking, Lin Nuan went to the bedroom to fetch a blanket, gently moving away Fu Huai’an’s jacket to place the blanket on Tuan Tuan.

“Mama, don’t go…”

As though he got a shock, Tuan Tuan’s small hand suddenly raised up as he mumbled in his dreams.

Lin Nuan’s hands paused in the middle of placing the blanket on Tuan Tuan; she felt a corner of her heart softening.

She held on to Tuan Tuan’s chubby hand while her free hand dimmed down the light of the floor lamp. She then gently stroked Tuan Tuan’s head and sat beside him, accompanying him in his sleep…

Under the dim light, Tuan Tuan’s upset and scrunched up face finally started to relax, but his tiny hand tightened its grip on Lin Nuan.
