Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Panda Novel

Once the elevator arrived, Lin Nuan smiled and waved goodbye, then stepped in…

Bai Xiaonian’s father returned to the ward and opened the fruit basket Lin Nuan had brought. He washed a few and handed them to Lu Jinnan’s father, only to see the latter browsing through Lin Nuan’s news on his phone, seemingly engrossed.

Whenever he thought of how a delicate and pretty girl like Lin Nuan had gone to a place like Iraq, Bai Xiaonian’s father couldn’t help feeling his heart ache. If this were his daughter Bai Xiaonian, his heart would probably ache to death.

Drawing comparisons, Bai Xiaonian’s father wondered if Lin Nuan’s father was still alive, how upset would he be to see such news?

Bai Xiaonian’s father shook his head…

This kid Lin Nuan had a hard life!

Just as he was about to put the fruits back in, something seemed to have struck Bai Xiaonian’s father. He suddenly asked Lu Jinnan’s father, “Old Lu! I think your elder son isn’t bad. I tell you! Lin Nuan is Xiaonian’s best friend, and I know her temperament very well. Your elder son has a fiery temper just like my daughter, so he needs a gentle yet tough girl like Lin Nuan to complement him. What do you think of pairing them up together? They would look good together too since they’re both so good-looking!”

Having just read about Lin Nuan, Lu Jinnan’s father’s heart ached for the girl as well. For someone like him who had wanted a daughter all along but got two sons instead, whenever he saw a pretty girl… he thought of abducting her to become his daughter-in-law!

Also, it was mentioned on the net that Lin Nuan’s father had jumped off a building. Lu Jinnan’s father was regretting not showing this girl who had lost her father at a tender age more concern just now.

Lu Jinnan’s father brightened up immediately at this suggestion. “Good idea! I just don’t know if the young lady would disdain our elder son…”

“Lin Nuan wouldn’t!” Bai Xiaonian’s father understood Lin Nuan at least that much.

“That’s great then! Xiaonian and Lin Nuan are good sisters to begin with. Now… wouldn’t they be closer after they become sisters-in-law!”

In Lu Jinnan’s father’s head, he had suddenly gained himself two daughters; to top that off, those two daughters were so chummy, what could be better than this!

…

Lin Nuan felt her nose itch, and she sneezed as she stepped out of the elevator. At this moment, her phone rang.

It was Uncle Hu saying that he had already parked the car in the hospital parking lot.

Lin Nuan could guess it was Fu Huai’an who had asked Uncle Hu to pick her up, so the corners of her lips turned up involuntarily. Although Fu Huai’an claimed to still be angry with her, there was no doubt he cared about her.

Although she knew it wasn’t Fu Huai’an waiting outside the hospital for her, there was now a joyful little skip in her steps.

The moment she exited the hospital, she saw Uncle Hu wiping the car. When he saw Lin Nuan approaching from a distance, he hurriedly stashed the cloth into the car trunk, attentively opening the door to the back seats for Lin Nuan.

Lin Nuan got in after thanking him, then took out her phone to send Fu Huai’an a message, informing him she would be cooking tonight and asking if there was anything he wanted to eat.

After a long while, there was still no reply.

Lin Nuan felt her palms start to sweat…

After exhaling, Lin Nuan analyzed the situation; Fu Huai’an was either busy with work or deliberately not returning her message.

Regardless of the reason, she had to make the necessary preparations for tonight’s dinner. Tuan Tuan would still need to eat dinner despite having had lunch at kindergarten, so even if not for Fu Huai’an, Lin Nuan would need to fix up a few good dishes for Tuan Tuan.

Also, since Lin Nuan intended to apologize and please Fu Huai’an, she had to do something concrete and not just depend on that tongue of hers…

As Xie Jingqian put it, ever since Lin Nuan tasted the benefits of knowing how to act coquettish, she learned that it would work in her favor not to use a tough stance to deal with Fu Huai’an.

It wasn’t like she didn’t know how Fu Huai’an felt towards her!

Since Fu Huai’an liked for her to take a soft stance and act coquettishly, Lin Nuan discovered it wasn’t so difficult after trying it once.

Since it made Fu Huai’an feel good, why shouldn’t Lin Nuan do it? Fu Huai’an wasn’t just anyone—he was her husband!

When it came to business matters, Lin Nuan couldn’t be of help, so when it came to day-to-day life, how could Lin Nuan add to his troubles?

She could only treat Fu Huai’an better when it came to such matters. Regarding other matters… Lin Nuan couldn’t help even if she wanted to.

Uncle Hu looked in the rearview mirror and didn’t know what Lin Nuan suddenly thought of, but there was a smile on her lips, and that smile looked something of a cross between joy and melancholy.

Then he heard Lin Nuan sigh as she took out the original novel of “The Exorcist” and started flipping through it.

After she was done with grocery shopping, Lin Nuan rushed back to Tianfu Bay around noon.

After lunch, Lin Nuan told Auntie Li she could rest and that she would personally take care of dinner.

Auntie Li was worried and asked Lin Nuan about the menu; before she left, she had helped Lin Nuan wash and cut the ingredients.

Seeing Lin Nuan reading by the window, Auntie Li waved goodbye to her before leaving.

Now that Lin Nuan was giving Auntie Li the rest of the day off, Auntie Li naturally had to go back to her home to take a look.

Lin Nuan had read the original novel of “The Exorcist” many times, diligently studying Feng Wuluan’s past reincarnation.

By the time she was done analyzing Feng Wuluan’s thought process, it was already 5 pm.

Lin Nuan had wanted to start preparing ingredients by 4 pm or so, then head out to pick up Tuan Tuan at 4:30 pm. Who knew that, in the blink of an eye, it was already 5 pm…

She frantically grabbed her coat and stuffed her foot into her shoe, her free hand grabbing the shoe as she bent over to wear her shoes properly. As soon as she was done, she ran off.

She didn’t see the car parked outside when she exited the house, so she guessed Uncle Hu probably wasn’t around either. Lin Nuan called Uncle Hu on her phone and found out that Uncle Hu was already at the entrance of the kindergarten, picking up Tuan Tuan.

Lin Nuan heaved a sigh of relief before going back inside and removing her coat. Upon opening the fridge, she found out that Auntie Li had already prepared the ingredients, neatly stacking the containers inside.

Every ingredient was prepared in accordance with the menu Lin Nuan told Auntie Li she would be doing tonight.

She recalled that Fu Huai’an hadn’t replied to her text or called all afternoon, so Lin Nuan sent another message asking Fu Huai’an what time he would be back.

A few minutes later, after seeing no reply, Lin Nuan sent another one…

‘Tuan Tuan likely will have eaten at kindergarten, so I’ll wait for you. How does 8 pm sound?’

Lin Nuan took out Tuan Tuan’s favorites—pine nuts corn and spare ribs, then stashed the rest of the ingredients back into the fridge before taking another look at her phone.

No reaction from the phone. She unlocked her phone screen and double-checked, but there was really no reply.

She drew two napkins and wiped her hands with them, brows furrowing. She had a full wifi signal, so she testingly called Tianfu Bay.

The minute she heard the ringing sound, Lin Nuan’s face fell a little…
