Chapter 436: Too Troubling!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Nuan picked up Tuan Tuan by the arms and, propping up his little b.u.t.t, weighed the heavy and soft Tuan Tuan in her hands.
Tuan Tuan happily twisted around in Lin Nuan’s arms, both arms placed around Lin Nuan’s neck.
Lin Nuan’s legs gave way from Tuan Tuan’s twisting action, causing her to stagger backwards. She only managed to grab the door frame in time to prevent herself from falling…
Upon seeing this, Tang Zheng raised his eyebrows. How ferocious was Old Fu for Lin Nuan to lose the ability to stand properly?
Tang Zheng spontaneously glanced at Fu Huai’an, grinning even wider…
As she walked to the dining table, Lin Nuan saw that there was no cutlery before Tang Zheng. And so she asked, “Have you had your breakfast?”
“Yeah, ate before I came…” Tang Zheng smiled as he took his seat.
Seeing Lin Nuan place Tuan Tuan back into his high chair, Tang Zheng spoke again, “Sis-in-law must be dead tired! This Old Fu… not considerate at all!”
Tang Zheng’s mouth had always been wicked. He could obviously tell from the way Lin Nuan sat down that her legs had no strength, and he couldn’t resist adding those two sentences.
Clearly knowing that Lin Nuan was thin-skinned, Tang Zheng got his wish when he saw Lin Nuan’s ears reddening.
Originally he had thought Lin Nuan would try to dodge his teasing, but she unexpectedly raised her head and stared in Tang Zheng’s direction with clear eyes that forced Tang Zheng to clear his throat to hide his uneasiness. He lifted his coffee mug and took a sip.
“Tang Zheng, do you have anything going on this morning?” Lin Nuan placed a little bun on Tuan Tuan’s plate with her chopsticks and asked Tang Zheng with a smile.
Tang Zheng paused for a moment, then put down his coffee cup and declared in a sunny tone, “Sis-in-law, if you have any orders for me, don’t stand on ceremony…”
“I have something to attend to with Huai’an today. Can I trouble you to send Tuan Tuan to kindergarten?” Lin Nuan beamed as she asked.
Fu Huai’an took a look at Lin Nuan and understood the intention behind her words. He lazily laid against his chair, shook the newspapers, and started skimming through the contents, unable to hide the smile forming at the corner of his lips.
Fu Huai’an had promised You Nainai not to tell Tang Zheng about Little Candy, so he had always kept it a secret. But if Tang Zheng b.u.mped into her himself… she couldn’t blame it on Fu Huai’an.
Even if Tang Zheng didn’t run into You Nainai, once he saw Little Candy, who was almost a carbon copy of a toddler version of him, how could he not have his doubts?
“Sure! Just nice… when we get to kindergarten, Tuan Tuan must point out the Little Candy who wants to marry you. Uncle will help you judge if she’s good enough for our Tuan Tuan!” Tang Zheng teased Tuan Tuan.
The smile in Fu Huai’an’s eyes intensified.
Lin Nuan only smiled and didn’t say a word. Didn’t Tang Zheng like to make a joke out of other people?
This time around, Lin Nuan would like to see if Tang Zheng could still manage to laugh after he went to the kindergarten.
“Tuan Tuan, Papa and Mama have something to do today, so Uncle Tang Zheng will take you to kindergarten. Papa and Mama promise to fetch you together in the afternoon, okay?” Lin Nuan turned sideways and looked at Tuan Tuan.
Tuan Tuan was an obedient kid, so after thinking for a bit, he stuck out a fat little finger. “Only this once, ok…”
Lin Nuan nodded. She understood what Tuan Tuan was saying; he was only letting Tang Zheng send him this one time. “I’ll only let Uncle Tang Zheng send you this one time!”
Tuan Tuan was elated. Every time he spoke, Mama understood him perfectly! Unlike the chatterbox Little Candy, who had to question Tuan Tuan endlessly with “what is it what is it!”
“Aye, I say Little Tuan Tuan, it seems like Uncle has doted on you in vain! How ashamed of Uncle are you?”
Tuan Tuan looked at Tang Zheng obediently and with a look of seriousness on his face. He used his plump little fingers to gesture a length, then after mulling it over, shrunk that length by a tiny bit. Only then did he solemnly look at Tang Zheng and say, “A little bit, only this much…”
Tang Zheng went speechless.
Only ashamed of him by this little bit! Tang Zheng really ought to thank Tuan Tuan, huh…
Lin Nuan beamed as she pa.s.sed a gla.s.s of milk to Tuan Tuan. The little fellow carried the milk with both hands, but his bright and sparkly eyes were peeking at the orange juice by Lin Nuan’s hand.
Catching Tuan Tuan’s expression, Lin Nuan smiled and pa.s.sed the orange juice over, imitating what Tuan Tuan just gestured with his fingers. “Then Tuan Tuan can only drink a little bit, only this much!”
“Okay…”
Tuan Tuan nodded his head vigorously, eyes sparkling so brightly their beauty outshone the galaxy.
Lin Nuan pa.s.sed the gla.s.s over. Tuan Tuan’s fat little claws held onto Lin Nuan’s wrist as he propped himself up a little. He gulped several large mouthfuls noisily, licked his lips in antic.i.p.ation of more, then gulped another two large mouthfuls. Only then did he sit back down, a satisfied grin on his face.
After they put the child booster seat in Tang Zheng’s car, Fu Huai’an stood up straight and took Tuan Tuan from Lin Nuan’s arms, patting him once on his little bottom. “We’ll fetch you in the afternoon. Be good in school today, and don’t fight with your little friends!”
Lin Nuan was surprised to hear something like this from Fu Huai’an. “Did Tuan Tuan get into a fight at kindergarten?”
Fu Huai’an nodded. “His kindergarten teacher called me yesterday and told me Tuan Tuan beat up other little kids with Little Candy…”
“Aiyoh! Our Tuan Tuan knows how to protect his wife from such a young age!” Tang Zheng interrupted jokingly.
Tuan Tuan wrinkled his eyebrows. “No!”
Afraid that his mama might think he was a bad kid for getting into a fight, Tuan Tuan refused to get into the car and, instead, reached out to Lin Nuan for a hug.
As he snuggled against Lin Nuan, Tuan Tuan clumsily tried to explain the situation, but Lin Nuan could still grasp what he was saying.
It turned out that the Kindergarten Gang Leader, Little Candy, beat up a little boy from the higher level and made him cry. Later, that kid rounded up his friends to avenge him…
Amidst all that fighting, several of those kids fell off the slide. As Tuan Tuan tumbled down the slide with them, he accidentally knocked down a kid from the higher level, who started wailing.
Actually, with Little Candy’s combat power, she absolutely didn’t need any help from Tuan Tuan!
Tuan Tuan only stayed close to her the whole time, but there was no room for him to interfere. Little Candy had long walloped those kids into a bawling mess.
Lin Nuan held herself back from smiling as she planted a kiss on Tuan Tuan’s little face. “That Little Candy is so formidable!”
Tuan Tuan nodded. “She can single handedly… take on… take on…”
Tuan Tuan lowered his head and fidgeted with his chunky little fingers. He counted to five on one hand and signed a two with the other, finally concluding, “Take on so many!”
This was what Little Candy said.
Little Candy said that her grandma told her she couldn’t go around bragging that she could take on ten all by herself, so she subtracted three from that! She alone could take on so many…
When Little Candy told him, she gestured the number with her hands, grinning and revealing a perfectly white set of teeth.
“Mama knows that Tuan Tuan is a good kid! Be good and go to school now. When you see Little Candy, you must tell her that good kids can’t go around beating up other kids in school. Ok?”
Lin Nuan bent over to place Tuan Tuan into the child booster seat and fastened the seatbelt for him.
With one hand on the driver’s seat car door, Tang Zheng had yet to climb into the car when he heard what Tuan Tuan said. He shook his head vigorously. “Whose daughter is this, she’s too troubling! Even more troubling than a little boy!”
The smile in Fu Huai’an’s eyes intensified. He turned his head sideways and saw Tang Zheng, who was still shaking his head vigorously. “Haven’t you always said that you must have a woman give birth to your little lovely in the future?”
