323 Happy to Listen to Him

In that moment, there was a tingling sensation as their lips came into contact and then parted just as quickly. Fu Huai'an's thin lips caressed hers as he lowered his voice and said knowingly, "So Mrs. Fu, I'm sure you will be able to learn how to make the first move if you really put your heart into it…"

The amorous ambiance in the air quickly became charged with desire and lust, and Lin Nuan felt her ears burning.

Lin Nuan immediately got up when she heard the sound of Tuan Tuan's feet pattering back from the restroom. She turned to put the book on the coffee table and tried to be as nonchalant as possible. "Thank you…"

She tried not to flush as she drew out two pieces of tissue paper and went up to Tuan Tuan, who was running towards her. To hide her embarrassment, she turned to Fu Huai'an and added, "I will set the table for dinner now, wash your hands and come for dinner."

Tuan Tuan hadn't wiped his hands, and they were dripping wet. Lin Nuan wiped his tiny hands with the tissue paper and held his hand as they walked towards the dining room. She didn't dare to meet Fu Huai'an's gaze as she brushed past him.

Lin Nuan could still sense the temperature of Fu Huai'an's lips on hers, and she couldn't stop her heart from racing while walking to the dining room.

…

Tuan Tuan was happiest when the entire family gathered together for a meal.

Lin Nuan washed her hands and put on her oven mitts before removing the piping hot dishes from the steamer. Tuan Tuan was struggling to tiptoe as he stretched out his hands in a bid to offer to help Lin Nuan with the dishes.

Lin Nuan didn't allow it as she was afraid Tuan Tuan might be scalded. Tuan Tuan followed closely behind Lin Nuan's back as though he was her tail; he rubbed against Lin Nuan's leg as he kept calling "Mama".

Lin Nuan set the dishes on the table and, just as she was about to turn to walk back to the kitchen, Tuan Tuan who was sticking close to her leg tripped and almost fell…

Fortunately, Lin Nuan promptly reached out to grab his arms.

Knowing that Tuan Tuan was bent on helping, Lin Nuan finally relented and said she would allow him to help carry the bowls of rice and set them on the table.

Lin Nuan scooped the rice into a bowl, and Tuan Tuan held it with both hands. He pattered into the dining room, tiptoed to place the bowl onto Lin Nuan's seat at the table, and pattered back into the kitchen. He raised his head to look at Lin Nuan and stretched out both his hands to ask for another bowl.

Fu Huai'an washed his hands and joined them just as Lin Nuan finished setting the last dish on the table and sat down.

It was time to dig in. Tuan Tuan held his spoon in one hand and used the other hand to hold the bowl. He opened his eyes wide as he sat there, waiting for Lin Nuan to feed him.

Fu Huai'an stole a glance at the chubby Tuan Tuan, who was sitting there cheerily. He knew that if Lin Nuan continued feeding Tuan Tuan in this manner, Tuan Tuan wouldn't lose weight and might become overweight instead.

"Tuan Tuan, you aren't a baby anymore, you have to feed yourself!" Fu Huai'an rapped his chopsticks against Tuan Tuan's bowl and said solemnly.

Tuan Tuan gazed at Fu Huai'an with big dark eyes. He knew that Fu Huai'an wasn't joking, so he lowered his head, pulled the bowl near himself, scooped up some rice, and shoved it into his mouth.

Lin Nuan took a portion of the sole fish that was boneless and placed it in Tuan Tuan's bowl. Tuan Tuan scooped it up happily and ate it together with a spoonful of rice.

Even though Tuan Tuan's mood was somewhat affected by his papa's criticism, he cheered up the moment he thought of how delightful it would be to go grocery shopping later with his papa and mama at the supermarket.

…

The car ride from Tianfu Bay to the biggest supermarket in Haicheng took twenty minutes.

Tuan Tuan was feeling cheery, and he sat in the car seat at the rear, chatting enthusiastically with Lin Nuan about the interesting goings-on in his kindergarten.

Lin Nuan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned to look at Tuan Tuan as he spoke. Even though Tuan Tuan spoke haltingly, he was making good progress for a boy who didn't like to talk much previously, and Lin Nuan was more than happy to listen to him.
