This led the public to come up with even wilder speculations. They wondered if, after Lin Nuan got pregnant with Wen Moshen"s child, she had made Fu Huai"an take responsibility for the child and dumped it to him, making him raise the child while taking on the role of both father and mother all those years!
Later, seeing that Fu Huai"an was gradually becoming more successful, Lin Nuan decided to make use of the child to go back to Fu Huai"an"s side…
Who knew that the child turned out to be someone else"s! Having raised someone else"s child for so many years while thinking the child was his, Fu Huai"an couldn"t take the blow after he found out. Hence, he used the excuse of attending the wedding of the vice-president of the World Bank and left, when, in actual fact, he had gone overseas to nurse his wounds!
Else, why would they hear nothing from Fu Huai"an after the Weibo post about Tuan Tuan"s blood test report came out?
Fang Yan asked in a testing manner…
Fang Yan had never really investigated Tuan Tuan"s parentage!
Back then, because Lin Nuan"s news and scandals came one after another, the story transformed from her going to Iraq to seek Wen Moshen to her going there to look for Fu Huai"an and her child. All the while, Fang Yan had never truly considered whose child Tuan Tuan was exactly.
But Fang Yan was sure of one thing, and that was Lin Nuan"s love for Tuan Tuan.
The door to the dressing door opened, and You Nainai entered behind Tuan Tuan.
Without letting anything show on her face, Lin Nuan locked the tablet, even if Tuan Tuan probably couldn"t understand the words!
She handed the tablet back to Fang Yan…
Seeing Tuan Tuan holding two lollipops in one hand and hugging two cans of cola to his chest, Lin Nuan got her spirits up and said with a smile, "Wow… our Tuan Tuan has a b.u.mper harvest!"
Tuan Tuan bounced to Lin Nuan"s side and looked up at her, trying his best to raise the cola and lollipops up high to Lin Nuan. "For Mama!"
You Nainai closed the door and explained to Lin Nuan with a smile, "Just now, when we came back from the washroom, we b.u.mped into a guy from the production crew. He gave Tuan Tuan a lollipop and a can of cola. He had originally wanted to help the little one open it, but he said he wanted to bring it back to give to his mama, so the guy from the production crew gave Tuan Tuan another share."
Although outside information was limited in the army, the bit of news was a hotly discussed topic outside right now, so the production crew people more or less knew something about it.
The production crew had already started discussing the matter, commenting on how it seemed weird that Lin Nuan had brought her kid to the army this time when she was there to do a show.
Even if Fu Huai"an wasn"t home and Lin Nuan had to come to the army to do a show, there were so many servants in the Fu house, so surely they could take care of one child, right? Why did Lin Nuan have to bring her kid to the army?
Those who heard the gossip were speculating… Could it be that Tuan Tuan truly was Wen Moshen"s kid, and after Fu Huai"an discovered it, he fell out with Lin Nuan, so the kid couldn"t very well stay at the Fu house?
Gossip like that took less than a morning to spread throughout the production crew…
Perhaps because Lin Nuan had brought Tuan Tuan to the army, everyone was talking about it as if it were real. Someone even pointed out that Tuan Tuan indeed didn"t resemble Fu Huai"an and looked like Wen Moshen instead. Especially the nose… it was totally identical to Wen Moshen"s.
Lin Nuan was furious when she first heard this, but later, the more she heard stuff like that, the more she wasn"t sure whether she should laugh or cry. It was perhaps what people meant when they said that a lie, if repeated often enough, would be accepted as truth.
Luckily, Lin Nuan had brought Tuan Tuan to the army. The army adhered to strict discipline, and the adults on the production crew likely wouldn"t spout nonsense before the kid. So long as Tuan Tuan was safe… so long as he remained unaware, that was enough.
With Fu Huai"an not around, Lin Nuan felt that she had to hold herself steady all the more. Others could talk all they liked. After all, she was never one to be bothered by gossip. So long as it didn"t cause harm to Tuan Tuan, Lin Nuan could disregard it.
But Lin Nuan did have to come up with a solution to this matter, and she had to do it before she left the army with Tuan Tuan!
With Fu Huai"an in danger, Lin Nuan wasn"t planning on adding any more troubles to his plate. She couldn"t count on Fu Huai"an for every matter and had to learn how to tackle such messy affairs herself.
Especially now, with Mu Taotao and the puppy guy"s team by her side, she could totally make use of them.
…
When Lin Nuan was interviewing the soldiers who had rendered meritorious service, Tuan Tuan was sitting on the sofa, quietly and obediently watching Lin Nuan as she worked, adorable like a little puppet.
Yun Liuli was sitting beside Tuan Tuan, accompanying him with a book.
Until the celebrities arrived, the army had arranged for Lin Nuan to interview four soldiers a day.
There were army officers currently in service, as well as those who were transferred to internal affairs after they got injured.
The army provided the interview questions, whilst Lin Nuan made refinements to them. After all, back then, Miss Xia had already relented that the last ten minutes of the show could be reserved for the troops to do their publicity. So, naturally, the segment would focus on the questions provided by the army. As the interviewer, Lin Nuan merely made minor edits and didn"t deviate from the theme, and thus the military side could accept those minor changes.
When Lin Naun was interviewing the last soldier of the day, Tuan Tuan, who was sitting obediently on the sofa and watching Lin Nuan, accidentally spilled milk all over himself. The milk packet fell by the little one"s feet. He spread out his little arms, lowering his head as he helplessly looked at the spilling packet of milk and his milk-drenched clothes. He then looked at his chubby little hands, which were also covered in milk. He had wanted to call out to Lin Nuan, but seeing her busy at work, he pursed his lips.
When Yun Liuli turned around and saw that Tuan Tuan had spilled milk all over himself, she set down her book and half-finished milk. "You spilled milk all over yourself?"
Tuan Tuan"s ears turned red in embarra.s.sment as he nodded.
Yun Liuli glanced in Lin Nuan"s direction. Under the lighting, the elegant Lin Nuan was holding a pen with one hand, her lips parting and closing, gesticulating calmly as she spoke with the smartly-dressed soldier sitting opposite her.
Yun Liuli didn"t know how to take care of children. Although she knew that Tuan Tuan could take care of himself quite well, she wasn"t sure he knew how to put on clothes himself. "Do you know how to put on clothes yourself?"
The little one nodded at Yun Liuli.
"I"ll take you to get a change of clothes then!"
Tuan Tuan obediently got off the sofa and, after glancing in Lin Nuan"s direction, left with Yun Liuli.
After Lin Nuan finished the interview, thanked the army officer, and bade him farewell, she looked at the sofa and saw that Yun Liuli and Tuan Tuan were no longer there. She asked Mu Taotao as she removed her ear mic, "Where are Tuan Tuan and Xiao Liuli?"
"Just now, Tuan Tuan spilled milk on himself and drenched his clothes, so Miss Yun took him to change…" Mu Taotao said as she took the ear mic, pen, and notebook that Lin Nuan handed to her.
Lin Nuan nodded. She picked up the script from the little round table and walked out of the lighting with Mu Taotao. After they were away from the filming area and after confirming that no one was nearby, she said in a lowered voice, "Taotao… I"d like to trouble your people to check on something!"
