Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Lin Nuan looked around and locked her gaze on the wall next to the staircase. She smiled and said, “Let’s hang it there!”

This was their son’s most outstanding work, so they had to put it at the most conspicuous spot.

“Okay!” Fu Huai’an agreed. He then turned to kiss the top of Lin Nuan’s head. “Your wish is my command!”

To Lin Nuan, after leaving the Lin family and losing her biological father as well as her own home, having Fu Huai’an, Tuan Tuan, and Yuan Yuan was the best thing that had happened to her.

She felt incredibly blissful…

If possible, she hoped Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan wouldn’t grow up so fast. She’d like to spend more time with them before it was time for them to spread their wings and fly from their nest.

…

The next day, when Lin Nuan was recording the show, Lu Yunfan went to visit her. She also brought Lin Nuan an invitation to the art gallery’s opening.

This was the first time Lu Yunfan had come to visit Lin Nuan at work. She was watching Lin Nuan interview a well-built soldier at the scene. As Lu Yunfan listened to Lin Nuan’s clear and calm voice describing the lives of those heroes, her heart started surging with warmth.

After the show ended, Lu Yunfan smiled and waved at Lin Nuan. “Sister Nuan Nuan!”

Lin Nuan said goodbye to the guest and got down from the stage to stroke Lu Yunfan’s head with a smile. “I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find you after the show ended…”

“How can that be!” Lu Yunfan handed the milk tea and cake to Lin Nuan. “I just passed by a dessert shop with a long line. Their sweets must be delicious! So I decided to buy it. I’ve tried it, and it indeed tastes pretty good! Sister Nuan Nuan, you should try it too…”

Lin Nuan smiled and took the cup of warm water handed by Mu Taotao. “I can’t have something sweet after the show. My throat will feel uncomfortable!”

When Lu Yunfan heard this, she quickly retracted her hands that were handing Lin Nuan the milk tea and cake. She looked guilty. “Sorry, Sister Nuan Nuan, I didn’t know… I didn’t mean it!”

“Why are you always so fast to admit your mistake!” Lin Nuan took the milk tea and cake from Lu Yunfan’s hands. “I’ll have them after removing my makeup.”

Lu Yunfan nodded, feeling touched… Her sister-in-law was so gentle.

Lin Nuan sat on the chair to remove her makeup, while Lu Yunfan sat on the sofa, holding the straps of her bag tightly with both hands. She asked tentatively, “Sister Nuan Nuan, I haven’t given Brother Lin Chen the invitation yet. I’m afraid Brother Lin Chen won’t have the time to attend the opening of the art gallery.”

“You should give it to him regardless if he’s coming or not!” Lin Nuan looked at Lu Yunfan, whose ears had turned red. “Whether he’s going or not is up to him. Whether you give it to him or not is up to you…”

“Then… then there’s Sister Lin Ran. I want to invite Sister Lin Ran too. Can Brother Lin Chen help me give her the invitation?” Lu Yunfan looked at Lin Nuan with her large eyes.

Lin Nuan recalled that Liang Mulan also liked to paint. She was well-known for her age, and Lin Jingquan had once told Liang Mulan about Ji Zibai.

Previously, on Liang Mulan’s birthday, Fu Huai’an had given Liang Mulan a painting of Ji Zibai. Lin Nuan still remembered that Liang Mulan especially liked it and hung it in her bedroom.

Therefore, Lin Nuan said, “My mother also likes Ji Zibai’s drawing very much. If it’s convenient for you, I can get my brother to bring an invitation to our house.”

Lu Yunfan’s heart skipped a beat.

Was she… going to meet her future mother-in-law?

Wasn’t this a little too fast?

Lu Yunfan didn’t say anything. Her entire neck and ears were red, and her heart thumped wildly.

“Do you find it inconvenient?” Lin Nuan asked.

“No, no, no…” Lu Yunfan quickly waved her hands. “I just… I just feel a little worried that Auntie won’t like me.”

Lin Nuan was amused by Lu Yunfan’s reaction. “An ugly daughter-in-law will have to face her parents-in-law sooner or later.”

Ugly… Ugly daughter-in-law!

Lu Yunfan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stared at Lin Nuan with widened eyes. Did that mean… Sister Nuan had acknowledged her as her sister-in-law too?

How could such a good sister-in-law exist in this world!

Lu Yunfan loved her…

At the thought of how good Lin Nuan was to her, Lu Yunfan thought of Lin Ran.

Upon recalling how Lin Ran seemed to hate her when they first met, Lu Yunfan felt like a deflated balloon. She lowered her head and bit her lower lip. “I think Sister Lin Ran hates me!”

“You met Lin Ran?” Lin Nuan asked.

Lu Yunfan nodded, recounting what happened when she met Lin Ran at the roadside after Lin Nuan left, as well as her embarrassing behavior in Lin Chen’s office.

Lu Yunfan covered her face. “How embarrassing!”

“Lin Ran isn’t like what you think…” Lin Nuan reassured Lu Yunfan. “Lin Ran may look cold on the outside, but she’s actually a warm and easy-going girl. Don’t be frightened by her domineering appearance. Lin Ran… is definitely one of the kindest and gentlest people in the world.”

“Really?” Lu Yunfan was doubtful when she recalled how haughty and fierce Lin Ran looked in her sunglasses.

Lin Nuan nodded.

If Lin Ran wasn’t kind, she wouldn’t have accepted Lin Nuan…

Although Lin Ran was still speaking to Lin Nuan in a high-and-mighty manner, her words were for Lin Nuan’s own good. She clearly treated Lin Nuan as a sister.

It was just that sometimes, she would fight with Lin Nuan over who between them was the older sister. Lin Ran wanted to be the older sister.

After hearing Lin Nuan’s advice, Lu Yunfan mustered up the courage to visit the Lin Corporation to give Lin Chen an invitation.

She also brought along an invitation for Lin Ran and Liang Mulan.

Lu Yunfan rushed over in the afternoon. After she called Lin Chen to inform him of her visit, Lin Chen sent his secretary down to give Lu Yunfan an entry pass from the front desk. They were waiting for the elevator for a while before the elevator door opened…

Lu Yunfan saw Lin Ran walking out of the elevator with a few female employees, holding hands.

Their gazes met…

Lu Yunfan was so nervous that her entire body tensed up. She smiled brightly at Lin Ran, and just as she was about to raise her hand to greet Lin Ran, Lin Ran averted her gaze from her. She pulled her colleagues away and left quickly.

The reason she did this was because Lu Yunfan had seen her in Lin Chen’s office before. When she saw that Lu Yunfan was about to greet her, she was afraid Lu Yunfan would blow her cover, so she immediately pulled her colleagues away.

But this only confirmed Lu Yunfan’s hunch and made her panic. Indeed, her future sister-in-law hated her!

Lu Yunfan looked at Lin Chen’s secretary with reddened eyes.

Lin Chen’s secretary couldn’t explain things to Lu Yunfan in public, so he could only block the elevator door with one hand and invite Lu Yunfan into the elevator.

Lu Yunfan’s mood plummeted. Her fingers tugged at the hem of her shirt as she was about to cry.

When they reached Lin Chen’s office, Lin Chen looked up and saw Lu Yunfan standing at the office door with her head lowered, looking like a child who had done something wrong. He asked, “What’s with that look? Did you get into trouble again?”

Lu Yunfan’s throat rolled as she raised her reddened eyes and said, “I think… Lin Ran hates me.”
