He feared that he wouldn't be able to get the Christmas present he wanted!

The skies were a shade of gray and gave off a somewhat solemn vibe.



In the suite, when the vegetables and meat Lin Nuan ordered were fully served, she received a call from Bai Xiaonian. It was as Fu Huai'an had predicted—Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan wouldn't be reappearing.

By the time the call ended, Fu Huai'an had already placed some cooked meat into Lin Nuan's sesame sauce bowl. The corners of his lips were curled up, and although he didn't say a word, Lin Nuan could feel that this was him swaggering before her.

"Eat it. When you're done eating, we'll head to the new residence. Qingcheng is back today, so we'll have dinner together at the new residence. If it gets too late… we won't return to the city. What do you say?" Fu Huai'an calmly discussed another topic with Lin Nuan.

The slices of meat had been cooking in the clear soup pot for a long time. Tuan Tuan held his training chopsticks in his hand and stared eagerly as the meat slices danced in the boiling soup. However, his papa stuffed a green vegetable in his bowl instead.

Tuan Tuan knitted his little brows as he lowered his head and looked at the vegetables in his bowl. He then looked up to see his papa put a slice of meat into his mama's bowl. "You're so skinny. Eat more and nourish yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Tuan Tuan's brows unfurrowed. When a slice of thoroughly cooked meat was placed into Tuan Tuan's little bowl, Tuan Tuan shakily stood up with both hands propped on the edge of the table, then placed the meat into Lin Nuan's bowl. He then sat back down in a tottering manner before gazing up at Lin Nuan. "Mama skinny! Nourish!"

He then patted himself on his little tummy and said earnestly, "Tuan Tuan round, fat! Eat less!"

This was what Fu Huai'an always said to him. Tuan Tuan's large and round eyes were sparkling. It was as if he was waiting for Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an to praise him for being so sensible.

The boiling soup in the pot cooked the vegetables and meat, and it also warmed up Lin Nuan's heart…

She was lucky to have met Fu Huai'an and become his wife, and fortunate to meet Tuan Tuan and become his mother. This was heaven blessing her.

Lin Nuan's eyes misted up like the hotpot. She stroked the top of Tuan Tuan's head and leaned her forehead against his, revealing her thoughts to Tuan Tuan. "Mama is really really fond of Tuan Tuan!"

Lin Nuan had always been reserved and not great at expressing herself. She remembered reading somewhere that when one liked or loved someone, they needed to show it fervently and let the other party know!

She guessed this wasn't only true for lovers and married couples, but also between parents and their children!

Tuan Tuan, who was suddenly confessed to by Lin Nuan, reddened in the ears. He circled his chubby little arms around Lin Nuan's neck and edged closer to her ear, whispering in a soft voice, "Tuan Tuan… is also very fond of Mama!"

This was perhaps the longest and most eloquently spoken sentence Lin Nuan had ever heard Tuan Tuan say!

The little one blushed after he finished saying those words.

Lin Nuan felt the little one rub his meaty little face against her neck, creating a warm sensation. His eyelashes brushed against her skin, and the itchy sensation reached the depths of her heart.

At the end of the hotpot meal, Lin Nuan asked the waiter to bring them an ice-cream as a reward for Tuan Tuan.

The little one shielded the bowl of ice-cream as Lin Nuan helped him stand up on the chair. He ate a spoonful, then delivered the spoon to Lin Nuan's mouth and fed her a spoonful. Just like that, he happily finished the ice-cream, completely ignorant of the fact that he only considered his mama and totally forgot about the existence of his papa, who was also sitting in the suite.



After leaving the hotpot restaurant, they had initially planned on going to the new residence, but Lin Nuan recalled how Lin Ran had defended her in the cafe and thus asked Fu Huai'an to make a detour back to Tianfu Bay.

When they got to the villa entrance, Lin Nuan unbuckled her seatbelt and said to Fu Huai'an, "Wait in the car with Tuan Tuan for me. I'll be back shortly…"

"What are you doing?" Fu Huai'an asked.

"Getting a Christmas present…" Lin Nuan smiled and got out of the car.

Through the rearview mirror, Fu Huai'an glanced at Tuan Tuan, who was obediently sitting in the children's seat. While Lin Nuan was trudging through the snow to get around the front of the car, he asked, "Retrieving the Christmas present I gave you to use in our new residence?"

Fu Huai'an narrowed his eyes. The thin layer of fog he exhaled when he spoke misted up his eyes, hiding the thoughts on his mind that could otherwise be easily seen through.

Lin Nuan's ears flushed. "You and your wishful thinking!"

Moreover, Uncle Blessing, Aunt Blessing, and Yun Liuli were also staying at the new residence. Lin Nuan would rather be beaten to death than dare fool around with Fu Huai'an there…

Although, when they visited their new home for the first time, they had fooled around pretty hard!

After shooting Fu Huai'an a glare, Lin Nuan briskly walked towards the gate.

Lin Nuan went upstairs and went into the dressing room. Other than Fu Huai'an and Tuan Tuan's presents, which were already downstairs, and Bai Xiaonian's, which she had taken away with her, the remaining presents were neatly placed inside the room.

Lin Nuan took the presents downstairs in batches…

Fu Huai'an stood at the trunk of the car, his large hand supporting the cover over the trunk as he lowered his head and asked Lin Nuan, "Planning to bring your Lin family parents' presents over?"

Lin Nuan stared at Fu Huai'an in astonishment, surprised that he knew what she had planned on doing.

After closing the trunk, Fu Huai'an recalled that Lin Nuan had yet to allow him to open his Christmas present because she was annoyed with the Christmas present he had given her. He pulled open the car door to the backseat and asked Tuan Tuan, "Want to take a look at your Christmas presents before leaving?"

They might actually spend the night in the new residence, so if they didn't tear open the presents now, Christmas would be over by the time they came back tomorrow!

They were supposed to open presents early in the morning on Christmas, and it had dragged to the afternoon, so Lin Nuan didn't stop them.

Tuan Tuan nearly bounced out of his seat upon hearing this. His eyes lit up as he nodded his head vigorously. "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

After helping Tuan Tuan out of the backseat, Lin Nuan watched as Fu Huai'an wedged the little one under his armpit as he trudged through the snow and walked towards the villa. Lin Nuan followed closely behind.

The night before, she couldn't resist peeking at Tuan Tuan's present for her under Fu Huai'an's accompaniment. Yet she strictly forbade Fu Huai'an from peeking at the present she had prepared for him, coaxing and pushing him back into their bedroom.

Tuan Tuan watched in anticipation as Fu Huai'an opened the password lock. Tuan Tuan then struggled to get out of Fu Huai'an's arms and removed his little shoes, not even caring to put on his slippers before bouncing to the fireplace in the living room in his blue-and-white striped socks.

Looking at the presents hanging at a height way above him, the thickly dressed Tuan Tuan removed his gloves and revealed his chubby little hands. With one hand supporting himself on the edge of the fireplace, he stood on his tiptoes and tried to reach a giant Santa sock hanging above the fireplace. However, he ended up tripping, falling onto the carpet on his round butt.

With much difficulty, he got up on his feet with his two hands propped against the ground, then turned to look at Fu Huai'an, who was leisurely changing into slippers at the entrance. He anxiously waved a chubby little hand to call out to his father. "Papa! Papa! Papa!"

After putting on his slippers, Fu Huai'an walked to Tuan Tuan's side in a relaxed fashion, then easily lifted the child up to face the sock.

Tuan Tuan was a little nervous. He reached his fair and tender hand into the sock and, feeling something, took it out…
