Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Seeing that Fu Tianci had already eaten, Lin Nuan didn’t ask him if he wanted to have anything else.

The fat cat that Fu Tianci had forcefully locked up in its cage sprang up the moment it saw Tuan Tuan coming down the stairs. The cage was cramped, and its tail was bumping against the top of the cage. It turned a few rounds in the cramped cage and settled down, purring as it looked at Tuan Tuan with big bright eyes.

“Kitty cat…”

Tuan Tuan ran over and released the fat cat from its cage. The cat circled Tuan Tuan and purred loudly, and then it followed Tuan Tuan to the dining room.

Tuan Tuan sat down obediently on one of the chairs at the dining table. The fat cat leaped up onto another chair and laid on it, turning its head to gaze at Tuan Tuan.

Tuan Tuan looked at Lin Nuan as she prepared his meal in the kitchen. He was feeling upbeat and was swinging his little feet from side to side. He would occasionally be drawn by Fu Tianci’s laughter and stole glances at him, looking longingly at the fruit juice Fu Tianci was holding.

Lin Nuan had seen some oranges in the fridge earlier. She took one and soaked it in warm water in the basin as she felt it might be too cold for Tuan Tuan. She waited for some time before using the orange, together with some carrots and apples to make some freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juice for Tuan Tuan.

Lin Nuan placed the glass of juice in front of Tuan Tuan, whose eyes lit up instantly at the vibrant and appealing color. He grabbed the glass with both hands and gulped it down greedily, staining his lips with a rim of orange.

“This is nice!” Tuan Tuan exclaimed, smiling joyfully at Lin Nuan.

Fu Tianci looked up from his movie and glanced sideways towards the kitchen. He saw Lin Nuan using a napkin to wipe the orange stains from Tuan Tuan’s mouth.

Fu Tianci’s contempt for Lin Nuan grew, women… They were all trying to seduce Fu Huai’an with their looks. When it didn’t succeed, they would change the target to his son in an attempt to get into his good books. Did they really yearn to be a stepmother that badly? It was so amusing…

The fat cat seemed to sense that Tuan Tuan had eaten something tasty. It suddenly leaped down from the chair to Tuan Tuan’s feet and used its paws to grab at Tuan Tuan’s feet, purring anxiously.

Tuan Tuan held the glass in one hand and used his other to support himself on the edge of the table. He lowered his head to look at the fat cat, wondering what the problem was.

Lin Nuan figured that the cat must be famished. She saw its feeding bowl in the corner of the kitchen and presumed that the cat food must be in the cupboard next to the bowl. She opened the door of the cupboard, and sure enough, the cat food was inside.

As Lin Nuan poured some cat food into the feeding bowl, the sudden crackling sound startled the cat, who had been purring at Tuan Tuan. It turned its head and seeing that the feeding bowl had been filled, quickly let go of Tuan Tuan and dashed into the kitchen, digging greedily into the food.

…

In no time, Fu Tianci was lured by the aroma coming from the kitchen. He sniffed and took a bite of his cold pizza. It was tasteless, and he intuitively turned to look towards the kitchen.

Under the bright lights of the kitchen, Lin Nuan sprinkled some sesame oil into the two bowls of noodles—one big bowl and one smaller bowl—and carried them out.

Two bowls? Fu Tianci was sure one of them was his. He put down the slice of cold pizza and wiped his hand on a piece of tissue. He was ready to go over with his tablet once she asked. If the noodles were tasty, he would grudgingly force himself to have a few bites.

She placed the small bowl of noodles in front of Tuan Tuan and the bigger bowl on the table, next to Tuan Tuan. Fu Tianci put on his slippers and stood up. He was just about to tell Lin Nuan that he didn’t want to sit so closely to Tuan Tuan when Lin Nuan pulled out the chair and sat down.

Holding his tablet, Fu Tianci had already taken one step forward. He stopped in his tracks when he saw what just happened.
