Chapter 1310: Little Candy liked Tang Zheng a lot.
You Nainai then felt guilty. She gritted her teeth and explained, “I’m very sorry. I know Sir Fu has already paid me in advance. All he asked is for me to protect you this whole year, but this time…”
“Nainai, it’s okay! You can apply for leave!” Lin Nuan revealed a gentle smile at You Nainai. “Who said that you can’t be on leave when you’re already paid in advance? I won’t pry for details, but you can take leave for as long as you need!”
When You Nainai heard this, she tightened her grip on the steering wheel. In the end, she couldn’t help but tell Lin Nuan the entire story. “This time, I was afraid that Tang Zheng might be in danger. I think it’s better if you stop taking on jobs for the time being. It’d be safer for you to stay at home!”
Lin Nuan pursed her lips and said nothing…
“We all know about Li Muyang’s feelings towards you. I’m afraid he’ll fly into a rage out of humiliation if he can’t get you. So, for now, the ones in most danger should be you and Sir Fu. But I can’t leave that idiot Tang Zheng alone.”
So, Fu Huai’an was still hiding such a significant matter from her?
She understood Fu Huai’an only wanted her to live a peaceful and stable life, but they were a married couple… if something were to happen, they should fight against it together.
“After recording the show today, I have an appointment with Manman. You can take your leave after bringing me there!” Lin Nuan said.
“I’ll be on leave starting tomorrow. I will still be accompanying you today…” You Nainai was worried about leaving Lin Nuan outside.
It was already bad enough that she’d chosen to protect Tang Zheng instead of Lin Nuan. If she couldn’t even complete today’s work, You Nainai would hate herself to death.
“It’s okay…”
“I insist!” You Nainai said.
Since she couldn’t dissuade You Nainai, Lin Nuan nodded. “Alright!”
You Nainai accompanied Lin Nuan to record a show. She watched as Lin Nuan chatted merrily with the guests on the show, speaking with confidence and elegance. It was as if she would remain calm no matter what happened.
From the time You Nainai started to protect Lin Nuan until now, You Nainai had seen Lin Nuan grow even more mature and steady! She had also watched her get stronger by training her stamina and learning self-defense tactics every day.
You Nainai didn’t only regard Lin Nuan as a friend, but she also highly respected her for her perseverance.
After the show ended, You Nainai asked Mu Taotao to bring a gla.s.s of warm water to Lin Nuan.
Mu Taotao nodded. Seeing Lin Nuan come down from the stage, she quickly handed the gla.s.s of warm water to her.
Lin Nuan took the water and smiled at Mu Taotao. “Did Nainai tell you to do this?”
“Right! Sister Nainai said that she’ll be on leave from tomorrow onwards. Little Lu also called… he asked me to follow you around, Sister Nuan!” Mu Taotao smiled vibrantly.
Mu Taotao’s skills were definitely not inferior to You Nainai’s. After so many years of getting involved in dangerous missions, Mu Taotao’s moves were ruthless and lethal. This wasn’t something that a bodyguard like You Nainai, who had never been on a dangerous mission, could compare to!
Moreover, with Mu Taotao by Lin Nuan’s side, the few teams that had been a.s.signed to safeguard Lin Nuan would have a better teamwork than with You Nainai. This was because, compared to You Nainai, Mu Taotao had been working with them much longer.
Because Mu Taotao was one of them, Lin Nuan didn’t hide anything from her. She said to You Nainai in front of Mu Taotao, “I have Taotao. Go and look for Tang Zheng!”
“No, I’d better send you back today. After all…”
Before You Nainai could finish speaking, she heard Lin Nuan say, “You’re here, but your mind is with Tang Zheng. Don’t make things difficult for yourself. Don’t you have faith in Taotao?”
Lin Nuan then held You Nainai’s arm and walked out. “I have Taotao here, and many people are secretly protecting me. Don’t worry about me! Go and take this opportunity to reconcile with Tang Zheng!”
Hearing Lin Nuan persuade her, You Nainai gently bit her lower lip.
“All these years, Tang Zheng only has you in his heart. Moreover, the reason for your split back then was a misunderstanding. Since you already cleared up the misunderstanding, and both of you still love each other, it’s about time you reconcile for Little Candy’s sake!” Lin Nuan pinched You Nainai’s pet.i.te hand. “Little Candy has always wanted a father. The reason she refuses to acknowledge Tang Zheng is that she doesn’t want to upset you.”
You Nainai was stunned. She had never considered the child’s feelings.
“Did Little Candy tell you this?” You Nainai asked in a low voice.
Lin Nuan shook her head, but she still told You Nainai. “I heard it from Tuan Tuan. A few days ago, when Little Happy and Little Candy came by to our house to play, Little Happy’s father picked him up. Little Candy watched as Little Happy’s father hung Little Happy around his neck. She said to Tuan Tuan enviously and aggrievedly that Tang Zheng had also lifted her up like that. She especially liked him, but because her mother didn’t like her hanging out with Tang Zheng, she always pretended to hate being lifted up by Tang Zheng…”
You Nainai understood Little Candy’s fondness for Tang Zheng just by hearing this…
Actually, when You Nainai gave birth to Little Candy, the name she gave her was Tang Guo. She had never intended to hide the ident.i.ty of Little Candy’s birth father, nor had she thought of stopping them from getting together.
Because You Nainai also lacked fatherly love when she was young. She didn’t want her daughter to be like her!
Little Candy may look like a carefree young lady, but perhaps because You Nainai never had a father either, You Nainai understood her daughter very well…
Little Candy turned herself into a boy and acted like a tough kid in kindergarten because she didn’t want others to bully her for being fatherless. It wasn’t that she cared about being bullied, but she didn’t want to see her mother and grandmother hurt if they saw her getting ostracized for not having a father.
Truthfully, deep inside, Little Candy liked Tang Zheng a lot…
She felt that Tang Zheng looked a lot like her, and having everyone else saying the same thing confirmed that what she felt was true.
However, her mother seemed to hate Tang Zheng a lot. Little Candy always saw her mother beat Tang Zheng up, so she didn’t dare show her fondness for Tang Zheng, fearing that it would upset her mother. Sometimes, in order to make her mother happy, she would even help her beat up Tang Zheng.
Every time Little Candy beat up Tang Zheng, she would secretly regret it at night. She was worried that Tang Zheng would cry in bed because of the pain. Whenever that happened, she would use her grandmother’s phone to call Tang Zheng, telling him what she wanted. After that, the first thing she would see in the morning was of Tang Zheng holding the thing she wanted at the door, smiling while asking if she was happy.
Then, Little Candy would feel even more guilty. As time pa.s.sed, she liked Tang Zheng even more, but she didn’t dare to tell her mother…
After leaving Lin Nuan, You Nainai headed straight to Tang Zheng’s office.
Tang Zheng had just finished a meeting when he saw You Nainai standing at the entrance of the meeting room. He casually handed the doc.u.ments to the secretary and walked over to her. “Why are you here? Didn’t you accompany Lin Nuan to go out today? That’s not right… She has a show to record today!”
