Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an were going to collect their marriage certificate the next day. Fu Huai’an’s intention was for her to look after Tuan Tuan.
Then where was she supposed to stay—here or in Fu Huai’an’s home? She hadn’t thought it through before this.
If she called Fu Huai’an right then to clarify the matter it would seem as if she were rushing into things.
At the other end of the line, her landlord said in a soft voice, “I do like you—you keep such a tidy and comfy place. I can really trust you with my house. It’s just the inflation getting out of control and I still need to cover my costs. So think it through. Our contract will expire in two months. If you think the price is acceptable for you we’ll choose a date to extend it. Is that okay with you?”
Lin Nuan didn’t think it was unreasonable for the landlord to raise the rent. She wasn’t going to raise it until the contract expired, and she expected to extend it and continue raising the price—yet Lin Nuan could still understand.
It would indeed be more convenient for Lin Nuan to stay here since it was closer to the station.
After Lin Nuan hung up the phone, she dug up the contract. Before she could take a closer look at it, her doorbell rang.
Lin Nuan glanced at her watch. At nine-forty, the only person visiting her would be Bai Xiaonian.
Without putting on a jacket, she opened the door in her nightgown, a towel strapped around her neck.
A guy in a vest stood outside the door. He wasn’t too tall so it had been quite tiring for him to carry Bai Xiaonian on his back.
He was silently taken aback at the sight of Lin Nuan’s thin clothing and her overly defined features.
The strands of hair left on her face were not yet dry as the drops of water streamed down her beautiful cheeks. The droplets adhered to her smooth, white skin, her swan-like neck, and rested on her attractive collarbones.
The aroma left from a fresh bath smelled so nice to him. He unconsciously averted his eyes, yet they couldn’t help falling on her long slender legs. His face turned even redder then when he first met Bai Xiaonian.
“Um… I’m the driver your friend called. She drank too much and nagged me to send her here…”
Lin Nuan hadn’t expected to see a driver at the door. She instantly regretted opening the door in her current attire. Turning around to snatch the hoodie lying on her shoe shelf, she hurriedly slipped it on and kept a straight face. She then reached out to take Bai Xiaonian from his hands and said, “Thank you… leave it to me.”
Lin Nuan knew better than anyone what Bai Xiaonian was like when she got drunk.
The guy tried to support Bai Xiaonian while awkwardly maintaining some distance from her so she couldn’t take advantage of him. His movements were as awkward as they could be.
Lin Nuan supported the hammered Bai Xiaonian with her right arm. Before the guy could loosen her left one, Bai Xiaonian lifted up her head.
“Heh heh… Nuan Nuan…” Bai Xiaonian hooked the guy towards her with her left arm and pinched his face with her pretty and long fingers. Her speech was slurred as she mumbled, “Look at the tiny little bunny I caught today—isn’t he adorable?”
“Ouch…” He was almost in tears from the pain.
“…” Lin Nuan was speechless.
How much did Bai Xiaonian drink to reach this state?
“I’m so sorry. My friend always acts this way when she drinks too much…” Lin Nuan apologized as she forcefully peeled Bai Xiaonian off of the guy’s body.
