Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Gu Shaoting’s secretary picked the gift, so Lin Ran didn’t have any objections. People like Gu Shaoting, who couldn’t be bothered about gifts, wouldn’t care about it either. Furthermore, the bag was a gift for Lin Nuan, so it was up to Lin Nuan to decide what she wanted to do with them.

Lin Nuan took the bag back from Bai Xiaonian and smiled as she said, “You’ve seen the bag. Promise me you’ll walk 15,000 steps every day, and this bag is yours after you give birth!”

Bai Xiaonian eyed the bag greedily and started negotiating with Lin Nuan. “Why don’t you give me the bag now, and I’ll walk 15,000 steps a day!”

“Heh heh…” Lin Nuan smiled coldly at Bai Xiaonian. “No way in hell I’ll believe you!”

If she gave Bai Xiaonian the bag now, Bai Xiaonian would undoubtedly make all kinds of excuses not to walk.

Bai Xiaonian finally accepted the deal. She would definitely do anything for this beautiful dark green bag…

After all, the bag was so beautiful, and this was the only one in this color in the world!

“But I won’t walk on rainy days!” Bai Xiaonian discussed terms with Lin Nuan.

“Sure!” Lin Nuan nodded in agreement.

Bai Xiaonian bit her lip and said, “Also, you can’t force me to walk if I don’t feel well…”

“Will you pretend that you don’t feel well every day?” Lin Nuan raised an eyebrow.

“I won’t!”

Lin Nuan nodded. “I’ll trust you this time… If you pretend to be sick just because you don’t want to walk, I’ll pray that the heavens would punish you in such a way that you won’t be able to snatch any bags you like for the rest of your life!”

Bai Xiaonian widened her eyes at Lin Nuan. “Lin Nuan… you’re too cruel!”

Lin Nuan smiled and shook the bag in her hand. “So, what’s it going to be…? Do you agree or not?”

Looking at the beautiful bag in Lin Nuan’s hand, Bai Xiaonian finally conceded and nodded. “Okay! I promise! Then can you let me touch this bag once more to satisfy my craving?”

Lin Nuan generously handed the bag in her hand to Bai Xiaonian and said, “All the best. After you give birth, this bag will be yours!”

How could Bai Xiaonian not know that Lin Nuan was forcing her to walk for her own good? Perhaps it was because the child had been growing well from absorbing all the nutrients, but their unborn child was revealed to be bigger than the average fetus in their last few pregnancy checkups. The doctor repeatedly reminded Bai Xiaonian to control her diet. A bigger-sized child didn’t mean it was better. She had to maintain her weight well—not only for an easier labor but also for the child’s health.

When Lu Jinnan found out about this, he too became anxious.

But Bai Xiaonian’s pregnancy was really different from Lin Nuan’s. Back when Lin Nuan was pregnant, she was as light as a feather and liked to move around.

Bai Xiaonian always felt lethargic. She would feel tired even after only taking two steps. She wished someone would just wait on her hand and foot, feeding her, getting her everything she needed. It would be even better if they could go to the toilet in her stead. All Bai Xiaonian wanted was just to lie quietly on the sofa and watch TV, unwilling to use any energy.

Perhaps it was because she was itching for the bag, Bai Xiaonian was determined to follow Lin Nuan’s arrangements. Every morning after breakfast, she would walk around the Fu residence with Lin Nuan. In the evening, right after sundown, they would do the same routine again.

Bai Xiaonian walked at least 15,000 steps a day.

The nutritionists at the Fu residence tried their best to control Bai Xiaonian’s diet.

Bai Xiaonian liked to eat snacks, so the nutritionist tried his best to replace them with something equally delicious but with higher nutritional value and low calories for Bai Xiaonian to have every day in limited quantities.

Under Lin Nuan and the nutritionist’s efforts, Bai Xiaonian’s unborn child’s rapid growth was finally under control.

Not long after, Fu Huai’an received news that Li Muyang had escaped from Maynard Sanchez’s territory. Maynard Sanchez had sent people to chase after him, but Li Muyang fell into the sea amid the pursuit. The people who accompanied him to protect him had also jumped down and disappeared without a trace.

Going missing at sea was no different from dying. Regardless of the process, be it from drowning or being eaten alive by sharks, Li Muyang would undoubtedly die.

Li Muyang was dead, and Maynard Sanchez had suffered some setbacks by the Mexican military. Everyone felt that he didn’t have the time or resources to spend even more money to send someone to Haicheng to capture Lin Nuan and kill Fu Huai’an.

Haicheng, which had been in turmoil for a long time, finally seemed to have quietened down.

As the summer heat was about to pass, Lin Nuan started to work normally again. And according to her due date, Bai Xiaonian would be giving birth in five weeks.

Lu Jinnan had also recovered from his injuries, although he still couldn’t walk properly. In total, he had been injured for a hundred days.

Everything was progressing well.

Lin Nuan went to the TV station to record a show according to her schedule. After discussing the guests’ questions, Lin Nuan got off the stage to take a few sips of the warm water Mu Taotao had prepared. Her vision accidentally swept over the audience, and she was stunned for a moment before looking back…

Just now, she seemed to have seen… Li Muyang.

But when she returned to her senses and looked at the audience again, Li Muyang was nowhere to be seen.

Lin Nuan’s brows furrowed. Perhaps she was just too tired. Bai Xiaonian’s uterus had shrunk frequently these few days, and they had to rush to the hospital a couple of times in the middle of the night.

Lin Nuan pinched her brows. After Mu Taotao helped her touch up her makeup, Lin Nuan went on stage, and the show started.

Mu Taotao stood below the stage and observed her surroundings.

Today, Mu Taotao’s right eyelid kept twitching. It wasn’t because she was superstitious… It was because people like them were highly intuitive for danger. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to survive.

Mu Taotao’s gut feeling was telling her something was going to happen today.

After the show ended, Lin Nuan shook hands with the guests and bade them farewell. When she came down from the stage, she saw Mu Taotao handing her another glass of warm water with a smile. “Sister Nuan, are we going home directly today?”

Lin Nuan swallowed the warm water and shook her head. “We are going to Xiaonian’s house to get something!”

“Is it a bag?” Mu Taotao asked with a smile.

Now, almost everyone around Lin Nuan knew that Bai Xiaonian liked bags. She loved bags as much as she loved her life.

Lin Nuan smiled and said, “Everyone now knows Xiaonian likes bags?”

“That’s right. We all know how lazy Sister Xiaonian was after she got pregnant. But you managed to get her to walk around the Fu residence by offering her a bag every day! We all know!”

After saying that, Mu Taotao added, “However, Sister Xiaonian is not wrong. As a person, you must have some interests and hobbies! Otherwise, wouldn’t your life be too boring?”

“How are things going with Little Lu recently?” Lin Nuan asked Mu Taotao.

When Mu Taotao heard Lin Nuan’s question, she smiled. “It’s okay! Anyway, I’m not planning to get married. It’s a good thing that Brother Little Lu did not accept me! I like where we are right now. We’re good friends.”

“Whether you want to get married or not is your choice. I won’t interfere with it. But if the reason you don’t want to get married is your job… I think it’s unnecessary. I’ve already told Huai’an I want to have you by my side forever. Huai’an agrees with it. So, please consider it. If you feel the same way, it’s your chance to settle down and start thinking about your future with Little Lu,” Lin Nuan said as she walked towards the dressing room with Mu Taotao.

Mu Taotao fell into deep thought after hearing Lin Nuan’s words. She followed Lin Nuan and pursed her lips, not saying a word.

As soon as Mu Taotao pushed open the dressing room door, she sensed something was amiss. She immediately pulled Lin Nuan out.
