Chapter 730: Her Heart Couldn’t Help but Flutter at His Actions

He wasn’t wearing a suit and was in simple home clothes, but he still managed to look mature and dignified.
This man… really exuded charm!
As she looked at Fu Huai’an’s faint smile, Lin Nuan unwittingly recalled the surprise that he had brought home, which caused her to lower her eyes and made her ears flush. Her hands were as fair and pure as jade as they washed the green vegetables. Her slender fingers, which were like onion shoots, looked especially attractive as the water flowed down.
Auntie Li saw this as she turned back and couldn’t resist smiling. “Madam’s hands are too pretty, and they don’t seem fit for manual labor. I think Madam should just watch some TV with Sir in the living room. Lunch will be ready soon!”
Lin Nuan was eventually pushed out of the kitchen by Auntie Li. Fu Huai’an watched from the entrance to the dining room as Lin Nuan stood there, causing Auntie Li to inevitably feel uncomfortable too.
After pus.h.i.+ng Lin Nuan out of the kitchen, Auntie Li sighed and quickly prepared lunch.
Fu Huai’an looked down at his wife, who was pushed out of the kitchen by Auntie Li and was now looking up at him. He couldn’t hold back his smile…
For some reason, Lin Nuan couldn’t stop thinking about the thing that Fu Huai’an brought home, and her face continued to heat up.
Fu Huai’an looked at Lin Nuan’s flushed face for a while before speaking in a deep, hoa.r.s.e voice full of l.u.s.t. “Do you want to use it before lunch?”
Lin Nuan understood the meaning behind Fu Huai’an’s words. She reached out to swat his hands, which were reached out towards her, in an annoyed manner. “Tianci’s here, and he’s showering upstairs. He says there’s a basketball match being held nearby today.”
Just then, Fu Tianci came downstairs. Ears flushed, he said extremely awkwardly that their school’s basketball match was taking place this afternoon. If Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an were bored at home and had nothing better to do, they could go over and watch.
Lin Nuan understood what Fu Tianci was trying to say. He wanted her and Fu Huai’an to watch him at the match but was too embarra.s.sed to actually ask them.
Lin Nuan even suspected that Fu Tianci coming over to Tianfu Bay to eat was just an excuse. He wanted to ask them to watch the match…
After lunch, Fu Tianci grabbed his basketball and prepared to leave. As he walked out of the gates, he stepped on the yellowed leaves that had fallen to the ground. He turned to look back at Lin Nuan, who had walked him to the door. “Are you two going to come? If so, I can save seats for you guys! It’s also fine if you guys can’t make it…”
Fu Tianci raised his slender and fair chin, with one hand holding his basketball and one hand in his pocket. His loose school uniform hung off of his body, and his voice, which was that of a growing teenager, had a unique hoa.r.s.eness to it and sounded somewhat haughty.
Under the afternoon sun, the teenager gave off the youthful aura of a student, and his uniform was bathed in a golden glow.
…
When it was about time for Fu Tianci and his school’s team to enter the court, he glanced at his wrist.w.a.tch and then towards the entrance of the sports hall.
In the sports hall, the match was coming to an end, and the stakes were high.
All Fu Tianci could hear were the cheers of the cheerleading team from the sidelines and the sounds of basketball shoes squeaking on the floor.
Through the clear gla.s.s ceiling of the sports hall, Fu Tianci saw the blue-gray sky of Haicheng. The clouds were arranged like fish scales and appeared bright red due to the setting sun. He was anxious and disappointed. Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan probably weren’t going to come and watch him, were they?
The coach asked the team to warm up. Fu Tianci clenched his fists and took off his school jacket before walking towards the court with the rest of the team.
The phone in Fu Tianci’s pocket vibrated. He pulled it out and glanced at the screen…
It was a text from Mu Mantong. She said she had just arrived at the compet.i.tion venue to cheer him on. She was in a wheelchair, so she wouldn’t go up to him and talk to him, lest others mock him. She would be waiting for him in the parking lot after the match with a sports drink that she’d prepared for him to replenish his energy!
Fu Tianci furrowed his brows and stopped in his tracks as he turned to look towards the spectator stands.
Upon seeing Fu Tianci turn back, many girls couldn’t help but whisper to one another.
This was the time of their lives in which guys looked the most attractive. It was very hard for them not to swoon at Fu Tianci, who looked so handsome and pure. It was as if he had walked out of a comic. His singing and songwriting skills, which already stunned everyone, made it even harder for them to remain calm around him.
When Fu Tianci sat over there earlier, many girls couldn’t hold back the urge to go over and ask for an autograph and a picture. Unfortunately, the stern-faced coach of Fu Tianci’s team was sitting beside him, which caused the young ladies to shrink back in fear.
Fu Tianci’s eyes scanned the audience several times before he found Mu Mantong, who was sitting in her wheelchair on the last row of steps.
Mu Mantong saw Fu Tianci look at her, and her face flushed. Her big and bright eyes shone as she carefully waved her hand at him. She put her hand down very quickly, afraid of being seen by others.
Fu Tianci frowned. He didn’t like Mu Mantong’s lack of self-confidence, which shone through in her behavior.
“Tianci, what are you standing there for?” Fu Tianci’s teammate saw him looking towards the spectators and called out to him.
Fu Tianci threw his uniform and phone over to his teammate, who instinctively reached out to catch them. He called out Fu Tianci’s name as he watched him run towards the steps.
Fu Tianci’s actions caused a huge commotion. Although the teenagers on the basketball court were furiously wiping away their sweat, they didn’t grab everyone’s attention like Fu Tianci, who was running up the stairs with ease.
The young ladies that sat near the stairs felt their hearts thumping quickly as they watched Fu Tianci run past them and up the stairs…
Mu Mantong’s clear and beautiful eyes widened as she sat in her wheelchair. Her hands quickly tightened their hold on the blanket in her lap, and she felt like her heart was in her throat.
She watched as the fair and neat-looking teenager ran towards her, and her breathing quickened to an unbelievable degree.
She clearly didn’t want him to come over, but her heart… couldn’t help but flutter at his actions, feeling moved.
Fu Tianci stopped in front of Mu Mantong, who looked up at the teenager as he panted slightly. Cowardice and grat.i.tude were present in her slightly trembling eyes.
At this moment, Fu Tianci and Mu Mantong were at the center of everyone’s attention.
Mu Mantong heard some people near her whispering amongst themselves, asking who the girl sitting in the wheelchair was!
Mu Mantong wasn’t used to having so many eyes on her, and she lowered her eyes in avoidance, wanting to hide her face in her turtleneck sweater. She was so panicked that she didn’t know what to do…
“Where’s the drink?” Fu Tianci’s voice stopped Mu Mantong from lowering her head.
Mu Mantong took a moment to respond and raised her head blankly towards the majestic Fu Tianci.
Fu Tianci smiled and curled up his fingers to knock on Mu Mantong’s clear forehead, which was hidden underneath her see-through bangs. “I said, where’s the drink?”
Mu Mantong raised her hand to hold her forehead as her face flushed. She quickly turned back to look at the Mu family housekeeper, who had been with her the entire time. “Auntie Wu!”
Auntie Wu understood and smiled as she pa.s.sed her the drink that had been prepared for Fu Tianci. It was in a gla.s.s bottle… and other people couldn’t tell what the brand was. They only felt that the bottle looked cla.s.sy.
“Thanks!” Fu Tianci took the sports drink and turned to run back down the steps.
