She turned around to fasten the belt around her sleeping robe and slipped into her sandals. Her feet landed on the ground, but as she attempted to stand up, her knees gave way.
If it weren’t for Fu Huai’an’s lightning reflexes, rushing to grab her on the bed, Lin Nuan definitely would’ve suffered a nasty fall.

How old are you, can’t even get off the bed properly. Do you need me to carry you to the bathroom?
Fu Huai’an spoke sensually into Lin Nuan’s ears.
He still had the cheek to talk… Who was the one who tormented her so last night?

I can go by myself!
Lin Nuan tried to pry away the arm Fu Huai’an had around her waist, but Fu Huai’an held on even more tightly.


Lin Nuan turned around to look at Fu Huai’an…
The two were extremely close, close to the point their breaths intertwined.

I’m taking a break today, so I can keep you company…
Fu Huai’an’s thin lips pressed against Lin Nuan’s ears and gently kissed her there.
As hot air blew into Lin Nuan’s ears along with his voice, as if electrocuted, Lin Nuan’s body turned to jelly. All she could hear was the thumping sound of her heartbeat and her breathing.

I need to visit my birth mother today.
Lin Nuan turned around to look at Fu Huai’an.
Fu Huai’an nodded.
Un, everyone says a mother-in-law grows fonder of her son-in-law the more she looks at him. I need to go!

Today was the day Lin Nuan planned on visiting her mother, was that why Fu Huai’an cleared his schedule to accompany her?
Lin Nuan was tickled by what Fu Huai’an said, but she stopped herself from smiling.
I’ll go rinse up first, and we can go after sending Tuan Tuan off to kindergarten…


Sure! Let’s do as you say!

Lin Nuan was still carried into the bathroom by Fu Huai’an after all. Her body tensed up, afraid that Fu Huai’an was going to fool around in the bathroom.


However, Fu Huai’an placed her in front of the sink and smiled.
Let’s reserve our strength for another round tonight!

Lin Nuan had her gaze on the mirror, intentionally glaring at Fu Huai’an, but she couldn’t deceive anyone with that flushed look on her face.
…
Lin Nuan used the master bathroom, while Fu Huai’an went to the guest bathroom.
Perhaps because Lin Nuan moved slowly due to her jelly-like legs, by the time she went downstairs, Fu Huai’an was almost done with his breakfast.
Lin Nuan was at the foot of the staircase when she heard the laughter from Tang Zheng teasing Tuan Tuan.

Hey, the little lady in kindergarten sure has good taste. Our Tuan Tuan is a handsome little dude with looks that startle the universe and move the gods. You’re even more handsome than your father! She actually knew to snag our Tuan Tuan so early on and wants to marry our Tuan Tuan! This little lady isn’t simple!

Several minutes ago, when Tang Zheng arrived, Little Candy’s call for Tuan Tuan just came through.
Tuan Tuan was eating, so it was Auntie Li who picked up the phone. It was nearly time to leave for kindergarten, so she asked Little Candy what was wrong.
Little Candy spoke candidly,
Grandma said… I’m a young lady, so I can’t act like the gang leader at kindergarten and must behave like a proper lady. Oh… I wore a little skirt and a hair clip today, and I’m not going to fight at kindergarten! Granny, can you tell Tuan Tuan this and get him to ask his Papa and Mama if we can get married!



As soon as Little Candy finished her sentence, her mother found out she had secretly stolen the phone to make a call in the toilet. She conveniently grabbed a slipper and gave Little Candy two good smacks on her little bottom!
Auntie Li heard the ensuing chaos on the other end of the line.
First, it was Little Candy howling
Waaa!
, followed by a bout of shouting.
Mama is a big baddie! Grandma… Mama beat me again! Quick! Save me with the feather duster!

Next, an elderly woman’s voice was heard, raging.
You Nainai! If you lay another finger on my Little Candy, do you believe I’ll give your butt a good smacking!


Ma! Look at how you’ve spoiled Little Candy! Where in the world does a little lady go up to someone and ask him to marry her! That day at kindergarten, she even wanted to take off her pants to show others she doesn’t have a pee-pee! She’s so little and is already talking about getting married! What kind of nonsensical TV drama has she been watching with you all day long!


I watched ‘Empresses in the Palace’! Grandma, award her the Scarlet Red 1
 !

Auntie Li could imagine the look on Little Candy’s face as she hid behind her grandmother and pointed a chubby little finger at her mother.

I’ll award you two grand slaps!


Save me, Grandma!


You Nainai, you’ll still be my dear daughter if you drop those slippers this very moment! If not, let’s talk with feather dusters!



Then it was chaos again. Little Candy’s mother chased after a Little Candy who was scurrying around with her school bag, a slipper in hand. Little Candy’s grandmother was, in turn, chasing after the mother with a feather duster in hand!
Little Candy shouted as she ran,
Mama is a big baddie! Grandma, save me!

Auntie Li was amused by all the turmoil and the comedic family on the other end, and she couldn’t stop laughing. Only after she hung up did she recount the conversation to them, though she didn’t mention the name of Little Candy’s mother.
When Tang Zheng heard of the
Kindergarten Gang Leader
that wanted to marry Tuan Tuan, as well as the drama from her hilarious family, he was laughing so hard that he started tearing up.
Tang Zheng drew a tissue to wipe away the tear at the corner of his eye.
Thank goodness I have no wife nor kids. If I had such a daughter and wife, plus such a mother-in-law, I’d go mad in two days!

Tuan Tuan’s chubby little face tensed. He lowered his head and shoveled a large spoonful of corn into his mouth. Mama said… eating more whole grains was good for him!
Upon hearing Tang Zheng’s words, Fu Huai’an raised his dark gaze towards Tang Zheng, his lips involuntarily turning up at the corners.
After Tang Zheng was done wiping the moisture from his eyes, he saw Fu Huai’an smiling at him. His eyes fell to the unconcealable kiss mark on Fu Huai’an’s neck at his collar and smiled back with a hidden motive…

Ah… Old Fu had a good night’s rest, eh! Looking radiant, huh! How nice it is to have a wife… who takes good care of you. You’re making us bachelors envious!

Fu Huai’an looked at Tang Zheng, still smiling. He had a sip of his coffee, and when he raised his head, he saw that Lin Nuan was already done packing up and had walked to the entrance of the dining room.



Mama!
Tuan Tuan called out to Lin Nuan in his soft and cute voice. His little hand held onto the high chair for kids as he clumsily twisted his body in an attempt to slide down from the chair.
Without a seatbelt, it was rather convenient for Tuan Tuan to slide down, but it somehow didn’t feel too safe. Luckily Auntie Li was by his side, so she propped up his little butt and helped him get onto the ground…
Once his little feet landed on the ground, Tuan Tuan scooted out from under Auntie Li’s arm and flew towards Lin Nuan. He hurled himself onto Lin Nuan lap, two chubby little arms grabbing Lin Nuan’s legs in an instant. He raised his head and revealed a big smile at Lin Nuan.
His attitude towards Tang Zheng and Lin Nuan was as far removed as heaven from earth…
Tang Zheng sighed inwardly. Even though Lin Nuan wasn’t Tuan Tuan’s biological mother, they were, after all,
related by blood
since he had
eaten
Lin Nuan’s blood before. Naturally, he felt more affectionate towards Lin Nuan.

Sis-in-law!
Tang Zheng got up and called out to Lin Nuan.
Knowing Lin Nuan was thin-skinned, Tang Zheng was worried she overheard him teasing Fu Huai’an just now and gave a somewhat embarrassed smile.
Why didn’t you sleep for a little longer? Was I being too loud and interrupted your rest?
