885 When Their Defenses Were at Their Weakest! (1/2)
He got close to the phone, speaking softly in his childish voice, which was currently a bit nasally. ”Tuan Tuan is the most well-behaved…”
On the other end of the call, Fu Huai'an let out a soft laugh. ”That's right. Papa knows that Tuan Tuan is the most well-behaved! Now that Papa isn't around, Tuan Tuan must remember that you're a little man and must protect and take good care of Mama, alright?”
Fu Huai'an was saying pacifying words to Tuan Tuan, and it was supposed to sound heart-warming. However, with his mature and deep voice, it sounded more like a superior giving orders to his subordinate.
Tuan Tuan nodded again, then said to the phone, ”I got it…”
”Then Papa will talk to Mama. You must be good, alright?”
Tuan Tuan looked at Lin Nuan with his moist eyes. Lin Nuan switched off the hands-free mode and wrapped Tuan Tuan up in the blanket. ”Mama will talk to Papa for a bit. Later on, I'll help Tuan Tuan put on clothes!”
Tuan Tuan nodded docilely.
Lin Nuan put the phone by her ear and cleared her throat. ”Hello…”
”Take care of yourself, Tuan Tuan, and Xiao Liuli!” Fu Huai'an instructed Lin Nuan.
”En, I know. Don't worry…” Lin Nuan replied.
It seemed that Little Lu wasn't around on the other end of the call, as Fu Huai'an's choice of words was more daring. ”I miss you a lot…”
It could be because Tuan Tuan was around, but when Lin Nuan heard this, she subconsciously put the phone to her other ear, putting it further away from Tuan Tuan.
”En! I know…” Lin Nuan replied. ”Tuan Tuan and I miss you a lot too!”
Lin Nuan subconsciously looked toward Tuan Tuan, only to realize that he was looking at her with his clear eyes. Her ears started to flush.
”I know that you've been feeling worried and scared for the past few days. I'll definitely make it up to you when I get back. I'll take a few days off and take you and Tuan Tuan… wherever you guys want to go to have some fun!” Fu Huai'an's voice was very gentle.
”Alright! Tuan Tuan and I… we'll be waiting for you to come back safely!” Lin Nuan emphasized the word safely.
”En!” There were hints of fatigue in Fu Huai'an's voice.
Knowing that it had been a very long time since Fu Huai'an had some rest, Lin Nuan couldn't bear to disturb his rest time. ”Go and get some sleep! I'll be preparing for the interview in the afternoon after I dress up Tuan Tuan! I'll also need to turn in early tonight. The few celebrities will be coming tomorrow! It should be a tiring day! Tuan Tuan, Xiao Liuli, and I are very safe with the army, don't worry…”
Lin Nuan pretended to be at ease.
”Alright, I got it! It's just that it's hard on you…” Lin Nuan could feel the gentleness in Fu Huai'an's words even through the phone.
”That's enough! Quickly go and get some rest!”
After hanging up the call, Lin Nuan turned and saw Tuan Tuan pulling a sweater over his small head. He tugged the sweater down, and his head popped out.
The kid then clumsily put his arms into the sleeves, smiling at Lin Nuan cutely after putting on the sweater.
Papa said that he was a little man, so Tuan Tuan didn't want to trouble Lin Nuan. He could do his things himself. Moreover, he also promised Papa that he would take care of Mama!
…
After Fu Huai'an hung up the call with Lin Nuan, Little Lu happened to come back after having made tea.
”Sir, tea…”
