Because of that gaze from Lin Nuan, Wen Moshen's entire body stiffened. His throat vibrated, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on his coat, the veins on the back of his hands looking like they were about to pop up.

He never knew that he could get so nervous…

Those days, Wen Moshen had been deliberately avoiding seeing Lin Nuan's news on the internet. He feared that he wouldn't be able to keep himself from missing Lin Nuan, to the point where his heart ached so much he couldn't take it!

Upon hearing the most recent news, Wen Moshen couldn't sit still and thus returned. On the way back, he repeatedly looked at the news regarding Lin Nuan over that period, even watching her shows!

Regardless of the Lin Nuan in "Talking with Lin Nuan" or "After Heroes," it made Wen Moshen's love for Lin Nuan deepen.

Knowing that Lin Nuan was done with the recording, Tuan Tuan slid down from the sofa. He picked up a yogurt from the little round table and bounced to Lin Nuan. He lowered his head, holding a straw in one hand and hugging the yogurt bottle with the other as he clumsily helped Lin Nuan stick a straw into the yogurt. He then raised the yogurt up high to hand it to Lin Nuan. "Mama, drink! It's delicious!"

Lin Nuan bent over and stroked Tuan Tuan's little head with a smile. "Thank you, Tuan Tuan…"

After taking a sip of the yogurt, Lin Nuan nodded. "Mm! Really delicious!"

Tuan Tuan's eyes lit up as he nodded, his ears a little red.

Holding the yogurt bottle in her hands, Lin Nuan straightened her body. Miss Xia, who was beside her, glanced at the little one. She then lowered her voice and said to Lin Nuan, "If you don't want to see him, I'll just tell him that you're still busy…"

"With so many people watching, I'd look like I have a guilty conscience if I refused to see him!" Lin Nuan straightened her body and looked in Wen Moshen's direction, nodding at him.

Wen Moshen was standing by the rails in the corridor at the entrance. It wasn't known if it was due to the chilly wintery weather outside, but his nose was a little red.

Tuan Tuan's soft body leaned beside Lin Nuan's leg, and he looked towards the door when Lin Nuan did…

Tuan Tuan still remembered Wen Moshen. He was the uncle who once went on his mama's show!

"Tuan Tuan, you wait here with Auntie Miss Xia. Mama will go over and say a few words to Uncle Wen." Lin Nuan handed her yogurt to Tuan Tuan. "Can Tuan Tuan help Mama hold this?"

The little one nodded his head vigorously. "Mm!"

Lin Nuan stroked Tuan Tuan's little head and took the long down jacket that Mu Taotao handed her. She put it on as she walked out. "Brother Moshen, what brings you here?"

Wen Moshen smiled gently at Lin Nuan, his deep gaze sweeping over Tuan Tuan and finally landing on Lin Nuan's clean and pretty eyes. He said, "When I was overseas, I heard what's on the web, so I wanted to come back and ask you what exactly is going on! Why hasn't Fu Huai'an come out to clarify things, did you guys…"

Wen Moshen halted in his speech, his gaze fixated on Lin Nuan's fair and clean pretty facial features, hoping to see the answer from her expression…

Lin Nuan smiled at Wen Moshen. "Did we argue?"

"Sorry, I shouldn't be asking this…" Wen Moshen realized that his intentions were too blatant the minute he said those words out loud.

"Perhaps everyone around me is guessing this way!" Lin Nuan smiled. "Even Xiaonian called and asked me!"

However, Bai Xiaonian was clear about Tuan Tuan's parentage, so she wondered whether Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an had gotten into a quarrel or something, seeing as Lin Nuan had brought Tuan Tuan to the army.

Lin Nuan looked in Tuan Tuan's direction and said, "Before Huai'an went overseas, someone tried to kidnap Tuan Tuan!"

Wen Moshen paused in surprise. "Kidnap?"

Lin Nuan nodded. "Thankfully, the child only suffered some minor injuries! Tuan Tuan isn't very familiar with our new residence yet, and he's a particularly introverted kid. My heart wasn't at ease with the idea of leaving Tuan Tuan all alone in the new residence. Plus, it'll be the holidays for the kindergarten soon, so I thought it was fine for him not to go! Hence, I brought him with me. With him right before my eyes, I'll feel better."

"This time, the internet is saying… that the child isn't your and Fu Huai'an's child. With the discussion getting so heated, why isn't Fu Huai'an standing out to clarify matters?" Wen Moshen lowered his voice.

"What is there to clarify? I've never liked to display my personal life before the public!"

Lin Nuan wasn't lying when she said that. Wen Moshen understood Lin Nuan, so he knew…

Back then, Lin Nuan was greatly misunderstood because of him and Gu Hanyan, yet she had never stood out to defend herself.

"Moreover, Tuan Tuan really isn't my biological child. It's just that Tuan Tuan is still young… I don't want the child to find out before he gets to a sensible age. If I were to come out and explain, I'm also not sure how to explain it! So we might as well not explain it. We'll just lead our own lives and ignore what others say!"

Wen Moshen gazed at the smiling Lin Nuan and nodded. "You've always been so… broad-minded!"

Lin Nuan shook her head. "I'm not being broad-minded, but I indeed couldn't come up with an appropriate explanation, so I decided to remain silent!"

"Nuan Nuan! The next interviewee is ready!"

Inside the recording studio, Miss Xia shouted in Lin Nuan and Wen Moshen's direction…

Wen Moshen suddenly panicked, afraid that Lin Nuan would just turn around and leave. So he hurriedly said, "What can I do for you? If you need me to stand out and clarify…"

When Wen Moshen spoke, the hot air he exhaled condensed into white mist, hiding his panicked expression.

"I think, if you're the only one who stands out to explain things while there's no action on my and Huai'an's part, it'll perhaps make matters worse!" Lin Nuan wrapped herself firmly with her jacket. "Brother Moshen, I appreciate your kind intentions! But Huai'an and I aren't prepared to tell the kid the truth yet, and we also don't intend to lie to him. Therefore, let's just let nature take its course in this matter. When another hot topic gets exposed, this matter will blow over!"

It had always been that way in the industry. Lin Nuan understood that well.

Wen Moshen nodded.

"Then, Brother Moshen, if there isn't anything else, I'll go and record the show now. Thanks for your concern! I don't know how long you'll be staying in the country, but if by the time Huai'an returns, you're still around, the two of us will treat you to a meal…"

Wen Moshen felt an astringent sensation in his mouth. What little hope he had was entirely crushed now.

Humans were all like that. It was fine when one hadn't felt hope!

But once one saw a ray of hope, having that hope crushed, that was a kind of pain that really drilled into one's heart.

Wen Moshen nodded.

"Then, I'll go get busy!" Lin Nuan waved at Wen Moshen, but because of the cold air, she quickly retracted her hands to her chest, turning around to leave.

"Nuan…" Wen Moshen nearly couldn't stop himself from grabbing Lin Nuan's wrist. He took one step after her, then forced himself to stop moving forward as he watched Lin Nuan leave.

Once Lin Nuan entered the recording studio, she removed the thick down jacket, then took the yogurt bottle from the little one's hands with a smile…
