555 Have You Gotten in Touch With Huai’an? (1/2)

Not wanting to scare Tuan Tuan, Lin Nuan looked down and revealed a smile at him, turning his attention away. ”Tuan Tuan, are you hungry? Why don't we eat first and then save some food for Papa?”

Tuan Tuan shook his head and said with determination, ”Wait for Papa!”

Lin Nuan smiled and nodded. ”Then… Before Papa gets back, Mama will allow Tuan Tuan to eat a few pieces of chocolate, alright? Don't tell Papa!”

Hearing that there was chocolate, Tuan Tuan's eyes immediately lit up, and he licked his lips. He nodded and gave Lin Nuan a thumbs-up. ”Mama's the best!”

His childish voice sounded extremely cute.

Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan sat near the villa's windows and could easily see the situation outside.

She held onto an orange and was peeling it, her thoughts wandering. Her eyes kept on staring out of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The television was switched on. Lin Nuan's Arabic wasn't especially good, but she could faintly hear the program's host reporting the multiple-vehicle collision that had suddenly taken place this morning.

Several dozen steel pipes had plunged down, piercing into the cars that were driving along that road. Some of the pipes pierced through the glass windows… some pierced through the cars' roofs!

As this accident had taken place unexpectedly, it resulted in a multiple-vehicle collision, and the situation was extremely dire.

Lin Nuan turned and looked at the television screen. The scene flashed by in an instant. She could even see the splattered blood on a windshield that had two steel pillars pierced through it.

Her heart palpitated increasingly quickly, and it gripped her heart for some reason.

Tuan Tuan opened his small mouth, waiting for Lin Nuan to feed him a piece of orange. However, he didn't expect that what Lin Nuan handed to him was a piece of orange peel…

Tuan Tuan closed his small mouth and raised his head to look at Lin Nuan. When Tuan Tuan saw Lin Nuan's tightly furrowed brows, he took the orange peel that Lin Nuan handed over and ran to toss it into the trash. He then used both of his hands to climb up the sofa, sitting on his heels beside Lin Nuan, waiting for her to feed him again.

Another piece of orange peel came over. Tuan Tuan took it, climbed down the sofa, and ran off to toss it away. This time around, he stood beside Lin Nuan and was in no hurry to climb up the sofa.

Lin Nuan saw Tuan Tuan standing beside her in her peripheral vision, and her lips curled up with much difficulty. She sent a piece of orange to Tuan Tuan's mouth, only to discover that it was an orange peel. She got a shock and then noticed that the remaining half of the orange was still lying in her palm. The orange peel was already gone!

”Tuan Tuan, where are the orange peels?” Lin Nuan put down the orange nervously and squatted down in front of Tuan Tuan, feeling horrified. ”Quickly spit them out!”

Tuan Tuan opened his mouth wide and showed it to Lin Nuan, then pointed to the trash. ”I threw it away!”

Lin Nuan heaved a sigh of relief and forced a smile. ”I'm sorry, Tuan Tuan! Mama's thoughts had wandered away!”

Tuan Tuan shook his head. Sensing Lin Nuan's emotional change, Tuan Tuan squeezed his small figure into Lin Nuan's embrace, giving her a big hug. ”Love Mama!”

Lin Nuan's heart, which had turned slightly cold from worry, was filled with a bit of warmth. Thinking that this news report was a little too bloody for a child, Lin Nuan switched off the television with the remote. She picked Tuan Tuan up and said, ”Let's go and eat first and not wait for Papa! Later on, we'll criticize Papa and ask him why he didn't come back by mealtime! Isn't that right, Tuan Tuan?”

Lin Nuan had no idea if she was consoling herself or Tuan Tuan.

Tuan Tuan nodded. ”En!”

Lin Nuan let out a long exhale, not letting her imagination run wild. She secretly decided that she would ignore Fu Huai'an for a few days after he came back later!

It was probably in consideration of Lin Nuan, Fu Huai'an, and Tuan Tuan's preferences that the dishes were all from their home country.

The chef was very meticulous. In order to pique Tuan Tuan's interest, the fruit platter was made in the shape of a Minion character, looking very nice.

Fu Huai'an hadn't returned, so Lin Nuan didn't have much of an appetite. She merely drank a few sips of soup and kept on giving food to Tuan Tuan.
