"Since I've said there's a surprise, there'll certainly be one!" With his eyes, Fu Huai'an motioned towards the small piece of luggage with its handle sticking up in the air that he had left at the entrance. "It's not heavy, you hold it! I'll carry you upstairs!"
Lin Nuan bit her lip. With one arm around Fu Huai'an's neck, she reached out with her other arm and grabbed the luggage by the handle. Just like he said, it wasn't heavy.
Lin Nuan felt her heart thumping against her chest, not knowing what surprise Fu Huai'an had prepared for her. She only felt that the gaze Fu Huai'an directed at her when he mentioned the surprise was way too hot.
Fu Huai'an carried Lin Nuan to the bedroom and set her on the bed, then got up and pulled at the ends of his cashmere sweater to remove his clothes.
"Hey! What are you doing in broad daylight! Auntie Li will be back soon!" Lin Nuan's face and ears turned red.
"Tsk tsk…" Fu Huai'an removed his cashmere sweater and tsked twice, then said nothing else. He then took out his casual home clothes and began to unbutton his shirt with his large and slim hand.
Fu Huai'an had done this to tease his little bride. He liked the way she looked when she felt shy and awkward, to the point that it made him unwilling to part with such a Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
So awkward! Fu Huai'an had wanted to change into his casual home clothes!
Fu Huai'an must have done this deliberately. Carrying her upstairs and then starting to undress, who wouldn't have gotten the wrong idea?
Lin Nuan cleared her throat, then got off the bed. She couldn't find her other slipper, so she stood on one leg and supported her weight with the handle of the luggage. With reddened ears, she asked, "Where's the surprise?"
"In the luggage, take a look at it yourself!" Fu Huai'an gazed at Lin Nuan, a hint of a smile playing at his lips as he removed his shirt and set it down at the foot of the bed, then walked towards the bathroom with his casual home clothes. "I'll go take a shower!"
Lin Nuan removed the other slipper and squatted down to open the luggage. After she took out Fu Huai'an's clothes, she saw that there was a black paper bag inside.
Hearing the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, Lin Nuan turned her head and glanced in that direction…
The surprise was probably referring to this!
She opened the paper bag, and inside of it was a black ball of something.
As she took it out, Lin Nuan's face turned incredibly red. Her fingers were even trembling as she held onto that black ball.
Kinky lingerie for men!
Lin Nuan bit her lower lip, unable to hide the smile in her eyes. She hadn't expected Fu Huai'an to be like this!
To have actually prepared something like this as a surprise!
What he brought back from France was far more exquisite than what was available on those shopping websites in their country. It didn't look outlandish at all, appearing to be made of stretchable fabric and more pricey.
Perhaps, people in their country mostly tossed this type of thing away after one use, so no factories would properly make such lingerie with quality fabric and workmanship.
Lin Nuan stuffed the ball of thin and stretchable fabric back into the black paper bag, then jogged to the bathroom and shouted to Fu Huai'an, "Fu Huai'an, you big liar! How is that a surprise! More like a shock!"
The sound of the shower stopped, and Fu Huai'an's deep and powerful voice could be heard through the door. "Weren't you looking for this online? Don't tell me this isn't better looking than those you found online? Or do you like those more vulgar-looking ones?"
Fu Huai'an sounded like he was asking seriously. Lin Nuan bit her lip and didn't reply to him…
"If you like them, I can reluctantly cooperate…" Fu Huai'an said.
"Who wants your cooperation?" Lin Nuan felt her face turn red. She bent over and picked up the other slipper on the carpet before running downstairs without Fu Huai'an's dirty clothes.
Auntie Li had just come back from the supermarket with the groceries and had yet to close the door after entering. She saw a flushed Lin Nuan come downstairs, so she asked, "What's the matter, Madam? Why is your face so red?"
Auntie Li, who was standing at the door, was exhaling white mist from the corner of her lips as she spoke!
Lin Nuan got a shock from Auntie Li, who had suddenly appeared, and she felt her throat choke.
They were so far apart, yet Auntie Li could see her flushed face… How red did her face appear?
She raised her hands to cover up her cheeks.
Outside, someone had bounced a basketball against the manhole cover and made an especially loud sound, startling Lin Nuan.
Shortly after, Lin Nuan saw Fu Tianci walking in as he dribbled a basketball. The "thud, thud, thud" sounds that the basketball made with the ground sounded almost identical to the way her heart was thumping.
It was a cold day, so Fu Tianci was wearing a black long-sleeved T-shirt, and he had his school uniform slung over his back with the sleeves tied around his neck. There was sweat on his forehead. Before he entered, Lin Nuan could even see hot air rising from the top of his head because of the cold air outside.
"I'm fine. Huai'an is back, and I'm helping him carry his stuff up and down, so I feel a little warm!" Lin Nuan said in a small voice, out of sheepishness.
Originally, she had subconsciously wanted to curl her loose strands of hair behind her ears, yet she worried that Auntie Li and Fu Tianci might see her overly-red ears, so she forced herself to hold back.
She tugged at her collar and pretended to be feeling very hot…
Fu Tianci walked to the entrance and casually put away his basketball by the umbrella rack before entering.
Seeing Fu Tianci standing there looking healthy and refreshed, Lin Nuan knew that Fu Qingquan hadn't made things difficult for him after his running away from home.
"Why is your face so red?" Fu Tianci asked Lin Nuan as he entered the house.
He raised his arm to wipe the sweat off his head with his forearm, rubbing it onto his T-shirt. He then naturally went to look for slippers in the shoe cabinet.
Was she really very red?
Lin Nuan smiled, and her fingers clenched by her sides as she repeated the lie. "I ran up and down the stairs several times, so I'm feeling a little hot!"
As Lin Nuan walked down the stairs, she deliberately changed the topic. "Don't you have school today? Why have you come here?"
"I'm representing my school in a basketball competition, and it just so happens that the competition is near Tianfu Bay. I walked around the area and felt that the restaurants nearby didn't look very appetizing, so I came by to see if there's any food!"
"Yes yes yes!" Auntie Li smiled and said, "I made some carp soup in the morning and planned on cooking some light dishes this afternoon. How does Madam feel about this?"
Lin Nuan nodded. "Thanks for the hard work, Auntie Li!"
"I'll go upstairs and take a shower…" Fu Tianci was feeling incredibly hot.
"Do you have clothes?"
Fu Tianci nodded. "Yes!"
After Fu Tianci went upstairs, Lin Nuan helped Auntie Li prepare lunch in the kitchen. She then thought of Yun Liuli and Tang Zheng, who were still in the hospital, so she called and asked if they needed her to bring them food.
Tang Zheng said that Bai Jinyu had arranged for his students to send them lunch from the staff cafeteria and asked her not to worry.
When Fu Huai'an came down after his shower, he saw Lin Nuan and Auntie Li preparing lunch in the kitchen. Under the warm glow of the sunlight in the kitchen, the scene appeared particularly heartwarming.
He leaned against the door of the dining room and arranged his sleeves, which Lin Nuan saw when she looked up.
She placed the washed vegetables into the draining basket, then said to Fu Huai'an, "Lunch will be ready in a while. If you're hungry, you can fill your stomach with cake in the fridge for the time being!"
Fu Huai'an nodded. Sunshine landed on his trouser legs…
