Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Panda Novel

The phone rang. Lin Nuan set down the almost finished ginger brown sugar drink and answered the call…

“Qianqian…”

“My sister-in-law has already asked. She said that Professor Guan is on duty at the hospital tonight and asked if your older brother has the time to go over. She asked you to have him bring his medical reports, but some tests might still be necessary. There’ll be fewer people at the lab at night, so it’ll be easier to run the lab tests. If Professor Guan feels there’s a need, she’ll operate on him as soon as possible!”

Lin Nuan felt her heart thumping.

“Okay!” Lin Nuan was so nervous that her voice broke. “I’ll call my brother right away! Qianqian… I thank you on behalf of my brother!”

Xie Jingqian laughed lightly. “I’ll accept it if you’re thanking me on behalf of your brother!”

After hanging up, Lin Nuan contacted Lin Chen. Lin Chen was silent…

Lin Chen had yet to make arrangements at the company.

“Brother! You need to hurry when it comes to things like an illness!” Lin Nuan had originally wanted to say that should the tumor be malignant, it would be worse the longer it dragged on, but she ultimately didn’t say it out loud.

Inside, Lin Nuan was hoping that Lin Chen wouldn’t contract an illness like this. But, since he had… she could only hope for the best outcome while preparing herself for the worst news at the same time.

“I understand…”

And he said nothing else. Lin Nuan was incredibly anxious. “Then let’s go now! I’ll pick you up!”

Lin Chen was rather hesitant.

He didn’t give Lin Nuan a definite reply, which caused her to frown. “What did the Lin Corporation hire a vice-president for? Your health is what matters most, Brother! Let things be for a month or two. It’ll be fine!”

Having been seen through by Lin Nuan, Lin Chen could only lower his head and glance at his wristwatch. He set down the documents he was holding and arranged the time. “I’ll go to Jincheng myself. You don’t have to come with me. Or else, I won’t go…”

Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

Lin Chen was already an adult, yet there he was, threatening others like a kid.

“Brother, how old are you now?” Lin Nuan frowned.

“Either I go myself, or I don’t go at all…” Lin Chen’s attitude was firm.

Lin Nuan clenched her fists. After considering it briefly, she still relented. “Fine! You go yourself… I can call my friend at any time to ask about your condition, so don’t try and lie to me…”

Having reached a consensus with Lin Chen, Lin Nuan hung up the call. Yet she still felt anxious and unsettled. After thinking about it, she decided to call Lin Ran.

Over the phone, Lin Nuan briefly told Lin Ran about Lin Chen’s condition. Lin Ran was first astounded, then remained quiet for a long while. She said, “Don’t worry, I’ll accompany Brother!”

Lin Nuan lowered her gaze and said, “Brother is very stubborn. Just now, I had wanted to directly set off for Jincheng and wait for him there, but based on his temperament, once he sees me in Jincheng…”

“You’d better not go. If Brother forbids you from going and you still go there without telling him, once he sees you in Jincheng, he might very well turn around and leave! If that happens, no one will be able to talk him out of it!”

Although Lin Ran didn’t grow up with Lin Chen, they were blood-related siblings, so she had a deep understanding of his temperament.

“Don’t worry. I’ll surely get him to go to the checkup and cooperate with Dr. Guan!”

“Don’t let Mom and Dad find out about it!” Lin Nuan reminded her.

“I understand, don’t worry. I’ll call you from time to time to update you on Brother’s condition. Don’t worry!”

After hanging up the call, the worried Lin Nuan’s heart was still jumbled up.

Lin Nuan gripped her phone and sat down by the edge of the bed. She was in a dazed state until Tuan Tuan came back with Little Candy and Little Happy.

Tuan Tuan had just bent over to untie his shoelaces and had yet to change into his slippers when he saw Lin Nuan coming down the stairs. He bounced towards her in his gray and white socks, then gazed up at her, revealing a sweet smile. “Mama!”

Seeing her own mother, You Nainai, Little Candy didn’t rush up to her like Tuan Tuan did to Lin Nuan. It was as if she were throwing a temper tantrum at her mother. Her little mouth pouted, and she turned around, as if telling You Nainai that she was mad at her. Her fair and chubby little face was puffed up like a little bun.

You Nainai was speechless.

You Nainai didn’t go over to coax Little Candy. Her mother had already spoiled her daughter, and she didn’t want to indulge Little Candy further.

Lin Nuan smiled and squatted down. Then she nodded as she reached out and stroked Tuan Tuan on his little head. “Tuan Tuan, why didn’t you tell me in advance that your little friends were coming? I could’ve prepared snacks to welcome your little friends!”

The little one squeezed into Lin Nuan’s embrace and held around Lin Nuan’s neck with one hand. He twisted his head, straightened his back, and pointed a chubby little finger at Little Happy and Little Candy. “They… come to our house as guests!”

Lin Nuan held Tuan Tuan by his soft waist and asked, “Then, Tuan Tuan, do you know what kind of snacks your little friends like to eat?”

Tuan Tuan thought about it before nodding. “Little Candy likes sweets! Little Happy likes… likes…”

“I like cakes! My favorite is mango cake! Although I’m allergic to mangoes, I’m super fond of mango cake!” Little Happy changed into slippers, then bounced towards Lin Nuan, speaking seriously, then bowing to Lin Nuan and politely addressing her as Auntie. Acting like a little adult, he said sorry for disturbing.

Tuan Tuan also nodded his head earnestly, as if passing the message on to Lin Nuan. “Mango cake…”

“But Little Happy is allergic to mangoes, and Little Candy likes sweet stuff. Then, shall we get someone to buy chocolate mousse cake?” Lin Nuan asked the three kids.

The three kids nodded.

Auntie Li set down the three kids’ school bags and entered, then said to Lin Nuan, “These three didn’t finish the kindergarten teacher’s art assignment during class today. They said that they wanted to take it home to finish up. I thought about how Nainai is here, and Little Happy’s father was unable to pick him up, so I took the liberty and brought them back!”

Auntie Li had been working for the Fu family for quite a long time now, so she could make the decision on something like bringing Tuan Tuan’s classmates home. Moreover, Auntie Li could tell that Lin Nuan was rather fond of Little Candy and Little Happy.

After settling the three kids down in the living room and leaving them to continue their art assignment, Lin Nuan sat on the sofa distracted by Lin Chen’s matter. She couldn’t resist using her phone to check on information about heart tumors, comforting herself with thoughts of it being benign.

Knowing that Lin Nuan was on her period, Auntie Li went upstairs and brought Lin Nuan a shawl, then poured her a glass of hot water for her to hold onto. Even if she didn’t drink it, it would be good for her to simply hold onto it.

Fu Huai’an came home right at dinnertime. Lin Nuan received a message from Lin Ran, who said that she and Lin Chen had already entered Jincheng’s toll gate. She asked Lin Nuan if she should rush to Furen Hospital immediately or wait for a bit!

Lin Nuan stood before the French windows and watched as Fu Huai’an got out of the car. She called Xie Jingqian to say that her older brother had already entered Jincheng’s toll gate. Xie Jingqian said to have him go straight to Furen Hospital. Her sister-in-law, Su Nian, was currently at Furen Hospital. She gave Lin Nuan Su Nian’s number so that she could call her sister-in-law when she arrived.

Lin Nuan sent Lin Ran the number, saying that it belonged to Dr. Su Nian, a student of Dr. Guan Yanfei. She told Lin Ran to call when she arrived, and Dr. Su Nian would take Lin Chen to see Dr. Guan Yanfei.

Lin Ran replied to Lin Nuan, asking her not to worry and saying that she would inform her of the results once they were out.
