Chapter 1018: Pretty Panicky Inside
Hearing Lin Nuan say this, the little fellow happily rubbed his head against Lin Nuan’s neck and gazed at her with those black and s.h.i.+ny eyes of his. “Tuan Tuan is happy too!”
The little fellow spoke those few words eloquently.
Lin Nuan grazed her nose against the little one’s nose and responded, “Mm, Mama knows!”
Saihand very quickly came back with the DNA test report. After he showed it to Lin Nuan briefly, he took it to Cen Mo’s study.
Cen Mo stared at the test report for a long time before placing it on the desk, not saying a word.
“Sir, Madam is standing outside the study… I heard from a servant that she’s been there a long time!” Saihand reminded Cen Mo kindly.
“Got it!”
“Also, Mrs. Fu just received a call asking her to go to the filming set. Little Lu said that since Mrs. Fu is pregnant now, they plan to finish filming the subsequent scenes before going back to China.”
Saihand knew how much Cen Mo cared about that younger sister of his, Lu Xiangsi. Because Mrs. Jiang of the Jiangs in Jincheng had tortured Lu Xiangsi, Cen Mo destroyed the Jiangs, not even caring about the debt of grat.i.tude Lu Xiangsi owed to the Jiangs for raising her!
Now, Cen Mo’s biological sister turned out to be Lin Nuan…
Saihand felt that this was a good thing for Cen Mo, for at least his sister was still alive!
After Saihand left, Song Yao entered the study. “Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an have left for the set with Tuan Tuan!”
Cen Mo nodded. One couldn’t tell his emotions from his cold and solemn features.
“Nuan Nuan said that if you have the time… she’d like to invite you to pay respects to your parents with her!” Song Yao said softly.
Song Yao knew that Cen Mo was avoiding Lin Nuan because of guilt!
Guilt for causing his parents to end up like that because he went missing.
After all, it was because of him that his father sent Lin Nuan to the Lins.
Actually, in the depths of Cen Mo’s heart, he had always had a soft spot for family.
Cen Mo didn’t utter a sound.
“Cen Mo…” Song Yao walked behind the desk and hugged Cen Mo from behind. “Are you blaming yourself because you realized what happened to your parents after you suddenly found your younger sister?”
Song Yao was indeed the person who knew Cen Mo the best.
He said nothing, merely holding Song Yao’s slender wrist that was wrapped around him, grazing her skin with his thumb.
“Cen Mo, believe me, your parents absolutely wouldn’t blame you! Because they loved you so much!” Song Yao said softly by Cen Mo’s ear.
Cen Mo lowered his gaze, still saying nothing.
“Wait until Lin Nuan is done with her work. I’ll accompany you back to China to pay your respects to your parents, okay?” Song Yao thought about it, then continued, “And also pay respects to your Lu parents. Although they weren’t biologically related to you, it was them who brought you back to the Lu family from the orphanage back then!”
After a long while, Cen Mo nodded. “Okay…”
Perhaps because he hadn’t spoken for a while, Cen Mo sounded extra raspy.
“I feel that fate is a wondrous thing. Xiangsi wasn’t your biological sister, and Nuan Nuan is your biological sister… Xiangsi helped Nuan Nuan in Iraq, and Nuan Nuan, in turn, rescued Tuan Tuan!” Song Yao turned her head to gaze at Cen Mo. “No matter what, you’re still Tuan Tuan’s uncle!”
At the thought of that soft little glutinous ball, Cen Mo laughed softly…
Right, he had thought that it turned out he wasn’t Tuan Tuan’s uncle. Who knew… he was still his uncle. Fate was indeed a wondrous thing.
“After we get back to China, let’s go to the Lins with Nuan Nuan and thank them for raising Nuan Nuan for so many years. You have no idea… but previously, after Nuan Nuan’s ident.i.ty was exposed, the Lins’ love and care towards her didn’t lessen at all. Her Lin father specially asked the school to take extra care of Nuan Nuan, and her Lin mother renovated Nuan Nuan’s rented apartment inside and out just so Nuan Nuan could stay there comfortably!”
Song Yao and Bai Xiaonian had accompanied Lin Nuan all these years, so no one was clearer about what happened back then than the two of them.
“I know!” Cen Mo nodded. “I looked into the people around you back then…”
“I suddenly feel that my position as Mrs. Cen is super-duper stable. My sister-in-law is my bestest best friend. Tsk tsk… no one is more formidable than I am!” Song Yao circled her arms around Cen Mo’s neck and sat in his embrace.
Cen Mo gazed at Song Yao, who was smiling brightly. He recalled the time Song Yao knocked down Li Muyang with no regard for her life…
His heart tightened. He lifted Song Yao’s pet.i.te hand to his lips and kissed it. “Thank you for doing all you could to stop Li Muyang back then!”
Even thinking about it now, Cen Mo felt a lingering fear.
If he had truly allowed Li Muyang to take Lin Nuan away back then, based on Lin Nuan’s obstinate character, preferring to die in glory than live in dishonor, who knew how things would have ended up.
Because of him, Lin Nuan wasn’t able to grow up by her biological parents’ side and was even scolded by so many people! If he also caused Lin Nuan to part with her lover, he would really deserve to die.
“No need to thank me, because I’ve always regarded Nuan Nuan as my younger sister!”
This wasn’t a lie. Song Yao was older than Lin Nuan, so she had regarded Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian as her younger sisters all along.
“Mm!” Cen Mo nodded.
…
When the director heard that Lin Nuan was pregnant and Fu Huai’an wanted the remaining scenes to be filmed asap, the director agreed, no questions asked.
Fu Huai’an had seen the remaining scenes. They were relatively safe and only required her to reveal her face!
After all, Fu Huai’an was the movie’s biggest sponsor, and he had said that money wasn’t an issue. Plus, Lin Nuan was well-liked on the set, so the other actors were willing to accommodate Lin Nuan so that she could return to China to focus on her pregnancy as soon as possible.
Originally, scenes that would have taken four to five days to complete were squeezed into one day of filming.
Mainly, the other actors were cooperative. It was also tough on the props team, for they had to remember which props were used in which scenes so that when the other actors had to reshoot their scenes, they could decorate the set in an identical manner.
Lin Nuan kept bowing in apology, but the director and other crew members didn’t dare to accept her bows…
Lin Nuan’s husband was an investor, the biggest one!
On top of that, Lin Nuan’s fame was there for all to see, and what’s more, she was pregnant now, so anyone could understand.
Moreover, Lin Nuan had apologized politely, so everyone felt good.
Filming took place until night time before they finally managed to complete all of Lin Nuan’s remaining scenes.
Lin Nuan asked Little Lu to buy the production crew some supper, coffee, and snacks, then apologized again before leaving.
When Lin Nuan, Fu Huai’an, and Tuan Tuan arrived at the Cen residence, Cen Mo and Song Yao weren’t asleep yet. The two of them were sitting in the living room, waiting for Lin Nuan to come back.
Hearing the sound of tires going over the cobblestone road, Song Yao got up and looked out the French windows. She then turned back and said to Cen Mo, who was sitting on the sofa, “Nuan Nuan is back. I’ll go to the kitchen to check if the bird’s nest prepared for Nuan Nuan is ready!”
Cen Mo nodded. “Mm!”
Despite how calm Cen Mo looked, he was actually pretty panicky inside…
Previously, when he hadn’t known Lin Nuan was his biological sister, purely looking upon her as a benefactor, it was easier to get along with her!
