“No!” said Lin Nuan as she shook her head.
On the other end of the line, Fu Huai’an opened his eyes. “Xiao Nuan?”
Lin Nuan tried her best to hold back the nausea and answered, “Mm, I feel a little nauseous…”
You Nainai, who was standing by the side and not uttering a sound, seemed to have a revelation. She nudged Lin Nuan with an elbow. “Could it be…”
Lin Nuan understood You Nainai’s meaning, and her eyelashes trembled.
Lin Nuan recalled how she suddenly yearned to eat something sour out of the blue several days ago. There were even several days where she constantly ate sour plums. She had only stopped because she felt her teeth sting when she drank water from eating so many plums.
Later, bearing in mind her teeth, despite her urges to eat plums on several occasions, she forced herself to hold back and not eat them.
“Nuan Nuan…”
On the other end of the line, Fu Huai’an called her name. Lin Nuan didn’t want to tell Fu Huai’an before things were confirmed, making him happy for nothing, so she said, “I’ll call you back in a while!”
Lin Nuan was afraid she might accidentally reveal something, so she frantically hung up. She then looked towards You Nainai.
“Have you brought along the pregnancy kit you bought last time?” You Nainai asked.
Lin Nuan nodded. She did bring along the pregnancy kit. Before they got married and were s.h.i.+fting things into the new residence, Lin Nuan remembered at the last minute that she had yet to finish using the pregnancy kits that You Nainai bought, so she brought them along with her.
“Test it?” You Nainai suggested.
Lin Nuan nodded again without hesitation.
Using the pregnancy kit for the second time, it was still You Nainai who waited outside the bathroom for her.
Fu Huai’an didn’t know what happened to Lin Nuan, who had hung up the phone quickly, so he called You Nainai.
Facing Fu Huai’an’s questioning, even if it were only over the phone, You Nainai didn’t have the guts to hide anything from him.
Lin Nuan refused to let You Nainai tell Fu Huai’an about her injured arm, and You Nainai was afraid that Fu Huai’an might ask about Lin Nuan’s injury, so she cleverly replied, “Are you asking about what’s going on with Xiao Nuan now?”
After getting an affirmative reply, You Nainai, who knew how to behave in a delicate position, said, “Xiao Nuan might be pregnant. She’s using a pregnancy kit in the bathroom right now!”
Hearing this, Fu Huai’an straightened his body and pursed his thin lips, feeling nervous.
After hearing nothing from Fu Huai’an for a while, You Nainai glanced at her phone and called out testingly, “Sir Fu?”
Fu Huai’an replied, “After the result is out, send me a message.”
“Okay!” You Nainai nodded her head repeatedly.
You Nainai leaned against the sofa with her arms crossed and waited for a long time before the bathroom door opened and Lin Nuan walked out.
You Nainai asked, “How is it?”
Lin Nuan couldn’t conceal her disappointment as she shook her head. “No…”
“The nausea might have been caused by you over-exercising today!” You Nainai looked at Lin Nuan apologetically. It was her who first suspected that Lin Nuan might be pregnant and got her hopes up for nothing, so she felt apologetic.
“Let’s leave it to fate!” Lin Nuan smiled. “Perhaps we’re not fated to have a child yet. When fate arrives… a child will naturally follow!”
Ever since she planned on having a child with Fu Huai’an, Lin Nuan more or less had some antic.i.p.ation and urgency.
After having been proven wrong several times, Lin Nuan actually felt calmer…
At night, Fang Yan showed up at the Fu residence to visit Lin Nuan. Gazing at Lin Nuan’s gauzed arm, she said that she would feel guilty if Lin Nuan were left with a scar on her fair arm.
That was especially so when Fang Yan saw how Tuan Tuan’s eyes were fixated on Lin Nuan’s arm as he ran over to hug her arm and blow on it. He had a clearly pained expression, which caused Fang Yan to feel really awful.
After sending Fang Yan off, Lin Nuan was originally going to coax Tuan Tuan to sleep…
But the little one’s heart was aching for Lin Nuan’s arm, so he shook his head and resolutely said that he was a little man and could sleep by himself! That he didn’t need Mama to coax him to sleep…
Auntie Li accompanied Tuan Tuan to shower and coaxed him to sleep. Lin Nuan couldn’t put her heart at ease, so she waited until Auntie Li came out to inform her that Tuan Tuan had fallen asleep before going upstairs.
You Nainai helped Lin Nuan wrap cling wrap around her arm, then helped her shower and blew dry her hair. It was only when she saw Fu Huai’an video calling Lin Nuan that she returned to her room.
Fu Huai’an made the video call on time. Add to that the fact that he was in the hotel, and the uneasiness that Lin Nuan felt when Fu Huai’an left gradually dissipated. Feelings of longing for Fu Huai’an replaced it.
Having already known that Lin Nuan wasn’t pregnant for the time being, Fu Huai’an was initially worried that her feelings might be affected. But when he saw the relaxed smile on her fair and clean face, a smile also appeared in the depths of his eyes.
Regarding children, Fu Huai’an had always adopted a casual att.i.tude, choosing to leave it to fate.
If a child came, Fu Huai’an would feel blissful about his impending fatherhood, and if it didn’t happen… Fu Huai’an would continue to enjoy alone time with her for longer, which made him equally happy!
“Can you come back as soon as possible?” Lin Nuan lifted the blanket and laid down, then turned to her side and held her phone as she laid down on her pillow, hiding her injured arm from Fu Huai’an’s sight intentionally.
“Miss me?” Fu Huai’an sat down on a sofa, his back facing some large French windows. Outside the windows was some glorious night scenery. It looked like Angel’s trumpets in full bloom had drenched half the sky in a shade of red.
Fu Huai’an’s well-defined and tough features seemed to be carved into the oil painting, appearing so charming and enchanting.
“Mm!” Lin Nuan gripped her blankets, which still had traces of Fu Huai’an’s unique masculine scent. She felt her heart soften into a puddle of water. “The blankets are filled with your scent, yet you’re not by my side. I’m worried about your safety, worried you might do something dangerous behind my back. With you not by my side, I tend to let my thoughts run wild.”
Perhaps because her entire being was being enveloped by Fu Huai’an’s scent, the aggrieved feelings began to well up in Lin Nuan’s heart, making her unable to stop herself from telling Fu Huai’an all about it.
Fu Huai’an’s deep eyes were filled with gentleness. He saw Lin Nuan’s movements, which made rustling sounds, then her pretty little face was revealed on the screen again. She said, “I’m sleeping on your side. Your scent is stronger on this side!”
Fu Huai’an’s heart turned soft, becoming a puddle of water as well. He couldn’t wave away his yearning to hold the young lady in his arms and love her properly. As he breathed, the sensation became stronger and stronger.
He admitted that in less than 12 hours of being separated from Lin Nuan, he was already down with this illness called lovesickness and that at this very moment, the disease was at its peak.
“I also miss you very much!” Fu Huai’an made his voice very low. “I’ll surely try to come back as soon as possible…”
Seeing the emotions in Fu Huai’an’s eyes, Lin Nuan bit her lip. Inside the blankets, her injured arm felt numb. She removed the loose strands of hair at the corner of her lips with her fingers, then adjusted the position of her head on the pillow. “Whenever you’re not by my side, I can’t sleep well.”
“Keep on talking. I already feel like coming back before the groundbreaking ceremony is over…” Fu Huai’an’s voice carried a smile.
Lin Nuan looked at Fu Huai’an’s handsome and charming features on the phone screen, her injured arm tightly pressed against her chest. If she were to tell Fu Huai’an about her injury, would he come back?
Her mouth acted more swiftly than her brain. Lin Nuan spoke coquettishly to Fu Huai’an, like a soft kitten. “I miss you so much that I’ve gotten injured…”
Fu Huai’an let out some low laughter. His Mrs. Fu was getting more and more irresistible, and she was also getting better and better at wheedling.
