Mu Mantong’s face remained burning hot long after he left. She gazed at Fu Tianci’s back as she clutched at her chest where her heart was and bit her lip. What was she going to do now that she liked him even more?

Auntie Wu saw Mu Mantong clutching at her chest, so she bent down to ask her in a concerned manner, “Does Miss Mu feel unwell?”

Mu Mantong bit her lip and shook her head.

The doors to the basketball court in the sports hall opened again. When that happened, Fu Tianci, who was listening to the coach talk about the team’s strategy, spaced out and looked towards the entrance.

He saw a tall man carrying a tiny child in his arms. The small child was still wearing his kindergarten uniform as he obediently allowed the man to carry him. The child wrapped his arm around the man’s neck while straightening his back as he looked for someone on the court.

Lin Nuan followed behind them closely in a loose, light green woolen sweater, a baseball cap, light blue jeans, and white sports shoes. She pulled down her black baseball cap very low, afraid of being recognized.

“Fu Tianci!” The coach rolled up the papers in his hand and fiercely knocked Fu Tianci on the head. “This is no time to be spacing out!”

Fu Tianci’s ears flushed. His heart was full of happiness, so he didn’t make a fuss. He nodded. “Go on, Coach!”

Seeing that Fu Tianci wasn’t hopping mad, the coach raised his eyebrows in a bewildered manner before he continued to talk to the team about their strategy.

Fu Tianci had planned to take Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an to the seats he had reserved for them after the coach was done, but when he raised his head again, Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an had already sat down with Tuan Tuan.

The adorable Tuan Tuan had a lollipop and was obediently sitting in Fu Huai’an’s arms. His eyes landed on Fu Tianci, who wore a number 8 jersey. He tiptoed and pointed forcefully in Fu Tianci’s direction. The sight softened the girlish hearts of those around them.

Lin Nuan glanced in Fu Tianci’s direction, and Fu Tianci was coincidentally looking in their direction too. She smiled as she held onto Tuan Tuan’s little wrist and waved at Fu Tianci…

Fu Tianci’s ears flushed, and he turned back and attempted to keep a straight face. When he looked forward, a smile gradually grew on his face.

The teammate standing beside Fu Tianci followed his gaze and saw Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan’s family. He looked back and whispered to Fu Tianci, “Who’s that? They can’t be your parents, right? They’re so young!”

Fu Tianci furrowed his brows. “What nonsense are you spouting?”

“Who are they? They seem like they came to support you, and they even waved at you! Their aura seems different!”

Fu Tianci pretended to be calm and casually replied, “They’re my brother and sister-in-law!”

“Really?” Fu Tianci’s teammate turned to look at the family again. “Wow! Your brother has such a strong presence!”

Fu Tianci smiled and didn’t say a word.

Mu Mantong, who sat at the very top, also noticed Fu Tianci’s gaze and looked over… just based on their backs, Mu Mantong already recognized them to be Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an.

Mu Mantong frowned slightly. Fu Huai’an was competing with Fu Tianci for the rights to the Kaide Corporation. What motive did Fu Huai’an have for bringing his whole family to watch Fu Tianci’s match?

Unless… he was trying to make Fu Tianci like him?

Mu Mantong heard from Lu Qingmei that Fu Tianci once said that he wanted to give up his Kaide Corporation shares to Fu Huai’an.

Mu Mantong couldn’t help but worry about Fu Tianci. He was pure and naive, just like a child, while Fu Huai’an was mature and experienced… She was afraid that Fu Tianci had fallen for Fu Huai’an’s trap!

That afternoon, Fu Tianci did extremely well. He made nearly all of his three-point shots throughout the match and scored the most points out of any player that day.

After the match, Fu Tianci sent Mu Mantong a text. He told her that he had something to do and wouldn’t be able to meet her in the parking lot. action

Mu Mantong had a cake that she made for Fu Tianci on her lap, and her heart sank. When she raised her head, she saw Fu Tianci step into Fu Huai’an’s car, and her heart sank again.

“Miss Mu, why don’t you call Little Young Master Fu over? You spent a very long time on this cake!” Auntie Wu said softly into Mu Mantong’s ear.

Mu Mantong looked down at the basketball cake she made. She had planned to use it to celebrate Fu Tianci’s victory or cheer him up if he lost!

Mu Mantong spent a lot of time on the cake, failing countless times before she ended up with a cake she was satisfied with!

She didn’t think Fu Tianci would just leave with Fu Huai’an like that…

Mu Mantong wasn’t angry at Fu Tianci. She was just worried about him. She was worried that the Kaide Corporation, which rightfully belonged to him, would be taken away by Fu Huai’an.

Mu Mantong had met Fu Huai’an and his wife before, and she could tell… that Fu Tianci was very close to them!

Mu Mantong felt that Fu Tianci was naive. If the couple was genuinely kind to Fu Tianci, then that was great! But if they were only nice to him for the sake of getting the Kaide Corporation, given that Fu Tianci was a sentimental person, who knew how hurt he’d be in the end!

Mu Mantong liked Fu Tianci, so she had to protect him and the things that belonged to him!

As she thought about this, Mu Mantong looked down at the cake in her arms. “Let’s go, Auntie Wu. We’ll wait for Tianci at the Fu manor!”

Fu Tianci had done well in the match today. After he won the game, he told Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an that he wanted to treat them to a meal.

Fu Huai’an muttered to himself for a moment, then suggested that they go to the supermarket to buy ingredients before eating at home. Fu Tianci couldn’t ask for anything more and willingly got into the car with them. He planned to return to the Fu manor after the meal.

…

Fu Huai’an and his family, along with Fu Tianci, returned home with bags full of ingredients from the supermarket. When he got out of the car, Fu Huai’an carried Tuan Tuan in one hand and a plastic bag from the supermarket in the other. Lin Nuan held a plastic bag in her hand too. As she stepped forward, Fu Tianci took Lin Nuan’s plastic bag from behind and kept a straight face as he walked forward.

Lin Nuan looked at the awkward Fu Tianci and couldn’t help but smile. She followed the large man and two smaller men into the house.

After putting Tuan Tuan down and letting him run off with Fu Tianci to wash their hands, Fu Huai’an turned back. He saw Lin Nuan take off her baseball cap and hold onto the shoe cabinet with one hand as she bent down to take off her shoes…

Her waist-length hair was thick and voluminous, and the ends were slightly curled. It fell from her shoulders due to her movements, and it was as lustrous and shiny as silk. At the neckline of her green woolen sweater, her beautiful collarbones and the vague outline of her fair and tender chest could be seen.

The moment she raised her head, Lin Nuan saw Fu Huai’an’s scorching gaze. She quickly lowered her eyes… not wanting to get burnt by it.

With nowhere to look, her eyes looked over Fu Huai’an’s lips and his defined jawline, even down to his Adam’s apple. She looked away, grabbed her baseball cap, and tiptoed to hang it on the hat rack.

She walked up the steps in the entryway and picked up the plastic bags that Fu Huai’an and Fu Tianci had left on the floor. She said, “Earlier at the supermarket, I called Auntie Li and told her to rest. We’ll prepare dinner by ourselves. I’ll act as your assistant!”

Fu Huai’an looked at Lin Nuan with a deep gaze as he grabbed her arm to prevent the two of them from brushing past each other. “If I prepare dinner for you, what do I get in return?”
