Auntie Li's voice rang out from the other side of the door, carrying a hint of a smile.
Lin Nuan felt increasingly embarrassed.
She and Fu Huai'an had fooled around until noon and hadn't even had breakfast. Therefore, Auntie Li prepared lunch directly. Could it be that… Auntie Li found out?
Lin Nuan's face instantly burned up. She felt that she couldn't face Auntie Li anymore.
\"Thank you for your hard work!\" Fu Huai'an looked at the tensed up Lin Nuan with a hint of a smile and called out toward the door. \"Let Uncle Hu send you back!\"
\"Sir, there's no need for that. I'll be making a move first!\"
\"Alright…\"
Last night, Fu Huai'an had told Auntie Li that he'd be on leave during this period of time and told her to take a few days of paid leave. Taking care of Tuan Tuan by herself had been tough on her.
That morning, Auntie Li didn't prepare breakfast. She went to the supermarket to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables, filling up the fridge. Her original plan was also to prepare lunch before she left.
It was only after Fu Huai'an hadn't heard any sound outside for a bit that he said, \"Auntie Li will be taking a long leave from today onward as well. During this time… I'll be the house husband and take care of you and Tuan Tuan.\"
\"Alright!\" Lin Nuan smiled brightly, her eyes glimmering.
Fu Huai'an's big hand made its way under Lin Nuan's sleeping robe and kneaded her perky butt. \"I'll need perks for being a house husband!\"
Lin Nuan couldn't conceal the smile in the depths of her eyes. She grabbed Fu Huai'an's naughty hand by the wrist and placed her forehead against his. \"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to take it?\"
Fu Huai'an's sexy throat moved slightly, causing the calmed emotions in Lin Nuan's body to start showing signs of becoming agitated.
Fu Huai'an's deep eyes gave Lin Nuan a feeling that if she still didn't leave, she'd die in bed. She felt a little cowardly and said, \"I'm hungry…\"
\"We'll have lunch first!\" There seemed to be a hidden meaning in Fu Huai'an's words.
By the time Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an got ready and headed down, Auntie Li had already left.
Since she was in a good mood, even Lin Nuan's appetite got better.
Fu Huai'an sat in front of the dining room table and watched Lin Nuan, who was lowering her gaze and having her meal elegantly while he served her food.
Lin Nuan raised her clear eyes, which were like black obsidian, and looked at him as she wiped away the sauce that had gotten onto the corner of her lips with her long and slender fingers. She smiled and asked, \"Do I look good?\"
Fu Huai'an half-squinted and couldn't suppress the smile in his eyes. He nodded. \"My wife is the most good-looking!\"
Lin Nuan pursed her lips and smiled, her two dimples appearing especially sweet.
After coming back from overseas, Lin Nuan became sweet and soft. It was as if she had become a completely different person. She became so sweet that it was a little hard for Fu Huai'an to handle. He couldn't help but want to be tightly bound together with Lin Nuan constantly.
Lin Nuan's smiling eyes made it hard for him to hold himself back, but he couldn't just press her down in the dining room. He got up and said, \"I'll go out and have a smoke…\"
Lin Nuan held onto her chopsticks while looking at Fu Huai'an, who walked toward the living room, picked up the pack of cigarettes and lighter on the coffee table, then headed for the backyard.
She picked up some blanched Chinese broccoli and put it into her mouth. She had just bitten into the Chinese broccoli when she stopped, put both the chopsticks and the Chinese broccoli down onto the plate, and then headed out of the dining room…
Fu Huai'an's long and slender figure stood under the roof outside the full-length window. He had both hands in his pockets and had a cigarette in his mouth. His dark gaze was on the ginkgo leaves that had turned yellow and fell all over the ground.
Fu Huai'an seemed to be enjoying this smoke a lot. His big hand with visible skeletal and vein prints moved the cigarette away from his mouth, and he puffed out a mouthful of white smoke. He tapped the ashes with a natural action, and his back view appeared very relaxed.
Lin Nuan jogged over and wrapped her arms around Fu Huai'an's thin waist from behind, raising her head. \"Do cigarettes really taste that good?\"
Fu Huai'an bit onto the cigarette and pulled Lin Nuan around to the front. He wrapped both arms around her and spoke unclearly with the cigarette in his mouth, saying, \"Why did you come out here instead of having your meal?\"
Lin Nuan grabbed onto Fu Huai'an's clothes at his waist with one hand, stood on her tiptoes, and then took the cigarette from his lips with her slender and fair hand. \"I want to know how good a cigarette tastes…\"
Saying that, Lin Nuan sent the damp end of the cigarette that had been in Fu Huai'an's mouth toward her lips.
Fu Huai'an's gaze deepened and locked onto Lin Nuan's small and fair palm-sized face. His big hand clutched Lin Nuan's slender wrist tightly, and his deep gaze was fixed on Lin Nuan as if looking at his prey. He lowered his head and brought the cigarette in Lin Nuan's hand to his mouth, taking a deep puff. Before Lin Nuan could react, she was pressed against the full-length window.
He pressed one hand against the window, appearing a little sloppy, then kissed Lin Nuan's lips fiercely. They were getting increasingly sweet these days…
Lin Nuan, who was pressed against the window, stood on her tiptoes. The hand that wasn't held by Fu Huai'an wrapped around his neck, and she took the initiative to open her mouth and welcome Fu Huai'an's kiss.
Fu Huai'an's tongue and the white cigarette smoke barged into Lin Nuan's mouth. The bitterness caused her to choke, and she quickly turned her head away from Fu Huai'an's lips, coughing non-stop. She coughed so badly that her small hand clutched tightly onto the collar behind Fu Huai'an's neck.
Fu Huai'an bit onto the cigarette and took it from Lin Nuan's hand, then hugged her and gently patted her on the back. \"Do you feel that a cigarette tastes good now?\"
Lin Nuan was choked so badly that she had turned red in the face. She frowned and raised her head to look at Fu Huai'an. Then, she snatched the remaining half of the cigarette from Fu Huai'an's mouth and threw it to the ground, putting it out with her foot.
\"Don't smoke anymore in the future, alright?\" Lin Nuan wrapped both of her arms around Fu Huai'an's neck. \"How can cigarettes taste as sweet as me? If you wish to smoke in the future… then kiss me, alright?\"
Lin Nuan's eyes were bright and glimmering, very innocent… yet filled with great allure.
Ever since Lin Nuan came back from overseas, she had become sweeter by the day, causing Fu Huai'an to feel uneasy.
Fu Huai'an's big hand stroked Lin Nuan's hair, and his finger dug into the long locks. He propped up her head and gently kissed her on the lips. \"Xiao Nuan, you're so sweet that you're making me feel uneasy.\"
Lin Nuan's slightly cold hands rested on Fu Huai'an's big hands, and her soft face rubbed on his palm. She raised her head and looked at him, asking, \"Isn't it good to be sweet?\"
\"It's good! It's very good! But I keep feeling afraid that…\"
Afraid that it would be like fireworks, leaving behind nothing after the brilliance.
Fu Huai'an's throat moved, but he didn't say those words.
Lin Nuan's lips curled up. So, even Fu Huai'an had things that he was scared of!
\"Huai'an, will you love me so much forever?\" Lin Nuan pressed her forehead against his and asked in a soft voice.
\"En!\" Fu Huai'an replied with a soft laugh in his voice. \"If I'm alive, I will love you! If I die… my soul will follow you. Are you afraid?\"
Lin Nuan also laughed. She pulled Fu Huai'an's hand and pressed it to her heart, saying solemnly, \"As long as it's still beating, I won't be able to stop loving you! Furthermore… I'll love you more by the day!\"
Her bright voice was filled with determination, every word striking Fu Huai'an in the heart.
Fu Huai'an clenched the soft flesh at Lin Nuan's waist tightly, and his eyes narrowed as strong emotions seethed in the depths of his eyes…
Recalling that there were people he had arranged to protect Lin Nuan around, Fu Huai'an pulled the curtains, and his big hand slid under Lin Nuan's clothes.
