Chapter 1329 - Suddenly So Much Love

Lin Ran frowned and adjusted her fringe. “Now my hair is all messed up.”

“Why didn’t you call Gu Shaoting over today?” Lin Nuan took the opportunity to change the topic.

Lin Ran’s ears turned red, but she didn’t feel embarrassed. “He’s coming over at noon. He has a meeting at the company in the morning.”

Hearing Lin Ran’s words, Lin Nuan knew that Lin Ran and Gu Shaoting got along very well…

Lin Nuan didn’t have much interaction with Gu Shaoting in the past, but other than him not being very chatty and was somewhat aloof, Lin Nuan couldn’t find any other flaws. His character was compatible with Lin Ran’s lively and fiery personality.

Lin Nuan imagined the two of them quarrelin, of Lin Ran harping on at Gu Shaoting, and of Gu Shaoting smiling, not saying anything. She suddenly felt that there was so much love.

“Why are you smiling at me?” Lin Ran raised an eyebrow at Lin Nuan as she wrapped herself firmly with her clothes. “You’re smiling as if you have ulterior motives towards me!”

“I’m hoping to be able to attend your wedding banquet and give you a big red packet!” Lin Nuan said.

Seeing that her two daughters could still sit together and joke around, Liang Mulan’s smile became increasingly gentle.

After Gu Shaoting finished his meeting, he called Lin Ran and told her that he would rush to the Lin house before lunch. Lin Chen came back first.

Once Lin Chen entered, Tuan Tuan was the happiest…

Tuan Tuan had long told Lin Nuan that he wanted to personally hand Lin Chen’s uncle the artwork that he made at kindergarten.

Seeing Lin Chen enter, Tuan Tuan bounced to Lin Chen. “Uncle Lin Chen, I brought you a present!”

Lin Chen bent over and carried Tuan Tuan. “Your mother told Uncle that Tuan Tuan made something for Uncle, right?”

“En! Uncle has given Tuan Tuan so many presents… so Tuan Tuan also wants to give Uncle a present!” Tuan Tuan spoke eloquently now.

“Mm, then Uncle will go and wash his hands first. After that, Uncle will see Tuan Tuan’s present, okay?” Lin Chen smiled as he set Tuan Tuan down. He then stroked his head.

“Okay!” Tuan Tuan nodded, answering very quickly.

Lin Chen removed his suit jacket, handed it to the servant, and then proceeded upstairs to wash up and change his clothes.

Liang Mulan could tell that Lin Chen liked children a lot. After giving it some thought, she felt that it was high time that he started planning for a child.

Therefore, after Lin Chen changed his clothes and came downstairs to see the artwork that Tuan Tuan had prepared for him, Liang Mulan carried Tuan Tuan and said, “Tuan Tuan… do you want Uncle to give you a younger brother or another younger sister?”

Lin Chen was rendered speechless.

Right now, Liang Mulan had many tricks up her sleeves.

Last time, the auntie from the Fang family pretended to cry in front of him. The other time, the auntie from the Wang family tricked him into going on blind dates in the name of a gathering.

This time… even Tuan Tuan was used.

Tuan Tuan was addicted to being an older brother now, so he asked foolishly, “One that looks like Tuan Tuan? Cute like Yuan Yuan?”

“Of course! The baby will definitely be as adorable and sensible as our Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan!” Liang Mulan then made a bargain with Tuan Tuan. “When Uncle Lin Chen has a baby, our Tuan Tuan can even give the younger brother or sister a nickname!”

Tuan Tuan’s eyes lit up upon hearing this…

Seeing this, Liang Mulan said, “So, Tuan Tuan, ask your uncle to give a younger brother or sister for you and Yuan Yuan to play with!”

Hence, Tuan Tuan’s bright eyes looked towards his Uncle Lin Chen. “Uncle Lin Chen… can you give Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan little brothers and little sisters?”

Even Old Master Lin and Old Madam Lin looked at Lin Chen with anticipation, as if Tuan Tuan had asked the question they wanted to ask the most.

Lin Chen was rendered speechless.

Lin Ran nudged Lin Nuan’s arm with her elbow. “Mom really has her way. Look at Brother, who is usually so calm and composed, is now so nervous by Tuan Tuan’s questioning!”

Lin Nuan smiled and nodded.

Perhaps because he didn’t want to disappoint his family on such a happy day, Lin Chen nodded at Tuan Tuan and coaxed him, saying, “Then… Uncle will work hard!”

Tuan Tuan nodded, then raised his fist and made a gesture to cheer Lin Chen on. “Good luck, Uncle!”

“Right, right, right, right! Your uncle should work hard! If he wants to give our Tuan Tuan and our Yuan Yuan a younger brother or sister, he’ll have to find an aunty for Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan first!” Liang Mulan carried Tuan Tuan, as if carrying a sacred decree. She started nagging at Lin Chen. “Don’t be too picky. I think the second daughter of the Gao family is very good. Moreover, she graduated from Cambridge University, and her character and looks are impeccable. I have no idea what you think is unsuitable about her?”

“That’s right! There’s also the Du family’s daughter. The young lady likes you so much. When I played mahjong with Old Madam Du, Old Madam Du even deliberately lost to me in exchange for me creating an opportunity for the two of you! However, you’re unwilling to interact with her. Now I’m embarrassed to meet my mahjong buddy!” Old Madam Lin also started reprimanding Lin Chen.

“Your mother is right. Don’t be too picky. Look at how old you already are! When will your grandmother and I be able to have a great-grandson from you?” Old Master Lin couldn’t help but chime in.

Mainly because his two granddaughters have settled down while his only grandson was still single. It was good for him to be in a relationship!

Even Old Master Lin didn’t mind if… it didn’t matter if Lin Chen liked someone from the same gender. At the very least… he wouldn’t spend the rest of his life alone!

Lin Jingquan saw that the entire family was already nagging at Lin Chen, so he merely looked at him with a concerned gaze. He then nodded, indicating that he was very concerned as well. However, since everyone had already said everything that needed to be said, he had nothing else to add.

However, before Lin Chen could cast Lin Jingquan a grateful gaze, Lin Jingquan looked at Fu Huai’an and said, “Huai’an, take a look and see if there are any suitable ladies by your side. If there are… please introduce them to your older brother!”

Lin Chen was speechless.

Since he knew that Lin Chen had feelings for Lin Nuan, Fu Huai’an was indeed a little worried that Lin Chen wouldn’t get into a relationship and get married.

Hence, Fu Huai’an put down his teacup and smiled at Lin Jingquan. “Don’t worry, Dad. If there’s a suitable candidate, I’ll definitely introduce her to Brother…”

Lin Chen, who had received the concern of his entire family, expressed his frustration.

Thankfully, Gu Shaoting had arrived in time, so the family spared Lin Chen.

Gu Shaoting’s secretary followed behind him, carrying bags in various sizes. Everyone received a present, and they were all satisfied with their gifts…

Old Master Lin and Old Madam Lin both received a set of high-quality health tonics. Liang Mulan got a silk scarf, while Lin Jingquan got a limited edition golf club. Gu Shaoting gave Lin Chen and Fu Huai’an a branded watch each, and he gave Lin Nuan a limited edition bag. He gave Tuan Tuan a remote-controlled miniature version of a plane, and he gave Yuan Yuan a custom-made baby gown.

Liang Mulan had nothing but praise for Gu Shaoting. “Shaoting is so attentive. Each of the gifts suits the receivers. Just one look and you can tell that he’s put in a lot of effort in choosing them…”
