Lin Nuan looked at the logo on the leather packaging with exquisite craft. It was the brand of watch she had gifted Fu Huai’an. She could guess what was inside the box.
As expected, Fu Huai’an opened up the box and revealed a watch of the same series as the one that he had smashed two of previously.
Fu Huai’an took out the watch and handed the box to Tuan Tuan. Tuan Tuan immediately tiptoed to take the box and hugged it in his arms while watching Papa put the watch onto Mama’s slender wrist.
Mama’s wrist was slender and fair, and the diamond-embedded watch made her skin appear even more beautiful.
“Do you like it?” Fu Huai’an asked.
Lin Nuan knew that Fu Huai’an had smashed the only two such watches in Haicheng. Fu Huai’an must have gotten this piece from somewhere else.
Lin Nuan felt touched and smiled as she nodded. “En! I like it!”
Putting aside that the gift was something she had previously taken a fancy to and that it was a couple’s watch with Fu Huai’an’s… What was even more important was that Fu Huai’an had made the effort to get it.
How could Lin Nuan not like this gift?
She lowered her eyes, looked at the nicely-fitted watch on her wrist, and revealed a beautiful smile.
Tuan Tuan raised his left hand and showed it to Lin Nuan. “Mama! Mama…”
Lin Nuan looked at the wrist.w.a.tch that was drawn with a ballpoint pen onto Tuan Tuan’s left wrist, and her eyes opened wide. “Why did you draw…”
“Papa gifted to Tuan Tuan!”
Before Lin Nuan could finish her words, Tuan Tuan shouted out happily.
Fu Huai’an rubbed his nose and lowered his eyes as he b.u.t.toned up his suit.
Lin Nuan’s gaze swept toward Fu Huai’an, who was pretending not to know anything.
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
Mr. Fu, is it a good idea for you to be setting up your son like this?
“Rolex!” Tuan Tuan emphasized to Lin Nuan.
This was the Rolex watch that Papa had gifted to him. Little Candy had previously said that Rolex was the world’s most expensive watch! It was everyone’s dream to be able to possess one of them.
After seeing the watch that Fu Huai’an had prepared to give to Lin Nuan, Tuan Tuan had kicked up a fuss and said that he wanted one too. He kept rubbing his face against Fu Huai’an’s arm and leg, like the cat they had at home.
Fu Huai’an gave in after a while and asked Tuan Tuan what watch he would like.
Tuan Tuan gave it some thought and said Rolex.
Fu Huai’an thought that Tuan Tuan probably didn’t even know what a Rolex watch was, so he picked up a ballpoint pen and drew a watch onto Tuan Tuan’s fair and plump arm.
As expected, the kid thought that he had gotten a Rolex watch and went to show it off to Auntie Li happily. If it weren’t because Lin Nuan was taking a shower in the bathroom, Tuan Tuan would have shown it off to her earlier as well.
Tuan Tuan raised his little arm and looked at Lin Nuan with his big bright eyes, seeming as if he was hoping to be praised.
Lin Nuan bent over, pinched his cheeks, and then said something against her conscience. “En! Tuan Tuan’s watch is the most beautiful one!”
“En!” Tuan Tuan nodded his head furiously.
This was the watch that his father had given him!
It was no wonder Little Candy said that everyone in the world wanted to have a Rolex watch. It turned out that a Rolex watch was a watch that Papa drew for him. Then Tuan Tuan would be greedy and want many of them. He even wanted a watch that Mama drew for him.
Tuan Tuan lowered his head and looked at the “Rolex” on his wrist. He then rolled up the sleeve on his other arm, raised his small and plump hand, and said to Lin Nuan, “Mama! I want!”
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
Knowing that Tuan Tuan wanted her to draw a watch on his other wrist made Lin Nuan speechless.
She couldn’t bear to lie to a kid like this. She felt that it’d hurt her conscience, especially when she was dealing with Tuan Tuan, a kid who was so cute and innocent.
After giving it some thought, Lin Nuan squatted down to Tuan Tuan’s height and said, “Why doesn’t Mama just give a small watch when Tuan Tuan’s small watch disappears?”
Tuan Tuan gave it some thought seriously and felt that it made sense. Therefore, he nodded happily.
Lin Nuan smiled and sorted out Tuan Tuan’s sleeves. “Then, let’s set off!”
…
Fu Tianci’s engagement party was held in the new Fu manor. In order to treat this event seriously, Fu Qingquan got himself discharged from the hospital that morning.
Fu Tianci was locked up in his room. He sat in a beanbag chair and stared at the 146-inch MicroLED modular TV, playing games. There were two guards standing watch outside his bedroom.
The busyness in the Fu manor seemed to be completely unrelated to Fu Tianci. Even though he had set the game’s music to the loudest volume, he could still hear the chattering sounds outside as the others set up the place for the engagement party.
Fu Tianci’s phone had been taken away by this mother, and there wasn’t even internet in his room. Even the games he was playing were offline games!
It was soon going to be time for the guests to arrive. Fu Tianci’s mother, Lu Qingmei, was afraid that her son would be starved when things get busy, so she brought some snacks and milk to Fu Tianci’s room. The guards instantly opened the doors.
In the room, Fu Tianci had closed all the curtains and didn’t switch on the lights either.
The moment Lu Qingmei opened the door, the light rays came in together with the tall and slender figure as well as the lively sounds outside. Fu Tianci squinted his eyes and took a look before turning back to his game.
After closing the door, Lu Qingmei smiled at Fu Tianci and walked up to him. She sat next to him like she had when Fu Tianci was young. She smiled and asked, “You aren’t happy?”
Fu Tianci kept his eyes on the television screen and let out a cold laugh, speaking sarcastically toward Lu Qingmei, “You think that everyone is like you and likes people older than them?”
Lu Qingmei’s countenance changed slightly, but she held back her temper. She smiled, reached out her hands, and wrapped them around her son’s shoulders, pulling him into her embrace…
Fu Tianci struggled to free himself from Lu Qingmei’s hands. “I’m already so old! Do you still see me as a kid?”
“Tianci, you should know that no matter what Mother does, it’s for the good of your future! The reason your father let you get engaged with the daughter of Pengcheng’s Mu family is so that you can have a stronger backing. It’ll make it easier for you to get the Kaide Corporation!”
The brilliant colors from the game on the television screen reflected onto Lu Qingmei’s face, sometimes bright while other times dark. Her face appeared so deep that Fu Tianci found it unfamiliar.
“But you never asked if what you think is good is actually what I want!” Fu Tianci turned to look at the television screen. “I said that I don’t want the Kaide Corporation! If you guys give it to me, I’ll dare to give it away to Fu Huai’an immediately!”
After saying that, Fu Tianci suddenly smiled as if he had thought of something. He turned and looked at Lu Qingmei. “Why don’t you guys just have another child! If you give birth to another child, they might want the Kaide Corporation!”
“Fu Tianci!” Lu Qingmei was so enraged that her voice went up a pitch and sounded a little sharp.
The sounds of a cannon firing in the game rang out in the bedroom, booming over Lu Qingmei’s voice. Lu Qingmei was so angry that she grabbed the remote control and switched off the television screen. She then threw the remote control to the side.
Fu Tianci smiled and casually tossed away the controller. He got up, stretched, and then headed toward the bed. He held himself in an undaunted manner, like a dead pig that didn’t fear scalding water.
Seeing that Fu Tianci laid down onto the bed on his stomach in a carefree manner, Lu Qingmei thought of how today was an important day, forcibly holding back her fury. She stood up, followed Fu Tianci to the bed, and sat down…
