Actually, the moment Lin Nuan asked, Mu Taotao knew what Lin Nuan wanted them to check on. She laughed lightly. "Sister Nuan, do you want to check… on who released Tuan Tuan's blood test report?"
Lin Nuan removed her ear studs and nodded.
"Sister Nuan, don't worry, I'll talk with the boss. But our main duty is still to protect you, so we probably can't expend too much energy on checking on this matter. Hence, it might take a little longer…" Mu Taotao reached out a hand to receive the ear studs that Lin Nuan removed.
They knew about Fu Huai'an's identity. Since Lin Nuan was Fu Huai'an's wife… their team leader obviously wouldn't reject Lin Nuan's request.
"Thanks for the hard work…" Lin Nuan smiled at Mu Taotao, her heart filled with gratitude.
…
Yun Liuli took Tuan Tuan to the room to change his clothes. Since Tuan Tuan dirtied the little training uniform the army prepared for him, Tuan Tuan could only wear his own clothes.
When they got to the entrance of the washroom, Yun Liuli said to Tuan Tuan, "Wait for me at the entrance of the washroom and don't run away on your own, okay? I'll be right out!"
Tuan Tuan, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, nodded, then watched as Yun Liuli entered the washroom. Clad in a thick down jacket, Tuan Tuan looked like a little penguin as he stood in the corridor…
He glanced left and right, and seeing that there was no one around, extracted his plump little hands from inside his rather long down jacket's sleeves with much difficulty, pulling down the scarf covering his little mouth and nose.
Tuan Tuan got bored waiting for Yun Liuli, so he moved to the guardrail in the corridor. Holding onto the metallic guardrail with both hands, he peered downwards.
It was mealtime for the troops. When the little one saw those uniformed soldiers walking towards the canteen in an orderly manner, he recalled seeing a photo of Fu Huai'an in which he was wearing the same kind of clothes. He inevitably thought of Fu Huai'an, his eyes a little red…
Fu Huai'an had been away on business trips before, but perhaps because he was looking at the soldiers, Tuan Tuan thought of his own papa!
Tuan Tuan lowered his dense and long lashes, recalling that his mama had said that they would be staying in the army for a period of time. What would his papa do if he couldn't find them when he got home?
Tuan Tuan was hesitating about whether to borrow someone's phone to call his papa when he heard someone walking over…
"I say, this Lin Nuan is really bold. She can even fake something like a child!"
When the little one heard someone mention Lin Nuan's name, he turned his head…
He saw two young ladies wearing training suits on the inside, and flowery down jackets on the outside. They had production crew work passes hanging on their chests and were entering the washroom.
Tuan Tuan's bright and black eyes followed those two young ladies who entered the ladies' washroom. He wanted to enter as well, but he was conscious of the need to observe the boundaries between men and women, so he just stood outside the washroom.
Those two young ladies weren't speaking particularly loudly, but at that time, the hostel was particularly quiet, so Tuan Tuan, who was standing right at the door of the washroom, could hear what they were saying.
"Yeah. Never mind if a paternity test will reveal whether this child is Fu Huai'an's child. Just based on the kid's appearance, you can't hide the fact that he's not!"
"Exactly. I've seen the kid Lin Nuan brought to the set. He really doesn't resemble Fu Huai'an in the least. On the other hand, he looks super duper like the Wen's young master, Wen Moshen! Let me show you. I happen to have the missing person's list and photos that the airline company's official site released when Wen Moshen's plane accident happened! Look, don't they look particularly alike?"
That voice with a southern accent sounded extra gossipy.
The two of them edged close to each other to look at the photo. The other young lady exclaimed in surprise, "Really! That kid of Lin Nuan's really looks so much like Wen Moshen!"
"Exactly! Thinking about it, Fu Huai'an is truly pitiful. He's such an outstanding man, yet Lin Nuan toyed around with him like that! He brought up someone else's son for nothing all these years. Wouldn't it drive him mad?"
"Well, Lin Nuan's pretty. Lin Nuan's appearance… isn't just pretty, she's pretty in a very decent way. Else, why would the military get her to come over and do this show?"
"So… don't they say never to judge people by their appearance?"
"Tsk tsk tsk… I wonder how Fu Huai'an feels right now, after finding out the son he doted on for so many years is a bastard. A man of Fu Huai'an's standing surely won't be able to take this lying down!"
The southern-accented young lady next to her nodded, speaking in a soft and gentle voice. "I used to think that a man who possessed money, power, and looks didn't exist. But look at Fu Huai'an… He's the kind of man who's particularly masculine, what people call 'walking hormones'. If I have the luck to run into Fu Huai'an after he gets a divorce, that'd be great. A man like that… even if I don't get to marry him, it'd be worthwhile to sleep with him at least once!"
Yun Liuli was the kind of girl who usually didn't mind other people's business. But when she heard how the two women were gossiping about Fu Huai'an's matter in the washroom, anger surged inside of her.
She flushed the toilet, then quietly left the stall.
The two gossipy young ladies were startled.
The southern-accented girl tugged at her companion's sleeve. She recognized Yun Liuli to be a person Lin Nuan brought into the army, so the two of them immediately shut up, not continuing the earlier topic.
The two of them were about to enter the toilet stalls when one of them asked, "Did you bring extra toilet paper?"
Yun Liuli walked to the sink and turned on the tap, bending over to wash her hands. She looked up and saw in the mirror that the two of them were standing in the middle of the two rows of stalls, splitting toilet paper.
The two of them were wearing down jackets over their training suits, and one could clearly see that they didn't belong to the army. Even if Yun Liuli didn't look at their work passes, she could tell that they belonged to the production crew.
She straightened her body and shook away the water droplets on her hands, then laughed lightly as she said, "I've seen plenty of people who live on somebody while secretly helping others, but I've never seen people who hanker after somebody's husband while receiving a salary from them!"
Yun Liuli knew that those who were able to enter the army this time were employees of Lin Nuan, Fang Yan, and Miss Xia's agency!
Fang Yan and Miss Xia were people of action. Once they decided to have a fixed production crew to specially work on all of Lin Nuan's shows, they quickly acted on their decision and started looking for people.
Those who came to the army this time were either recommended by people close to Fang Yan and Miss Xia or were people who had collaborated with Lin Nuan before and asked to join their agency upon hearing that they were looking to set up a team!
Those days, while Yun Liuli was by Lin Nuan's side, she had vaguely come to know about all of that. She had heard Miss Xia and Fang Yan bring it up with Lin Nuan…
Yun Liuli hung out with Gu Qingcheng a lot, so she had the same high requirement as Gu Qingcheng for the loyalty of the people working under them. She despised those who said one thing before others and acted differently behind their backs in the dark.
If those kinds of people were Gu Qingcheng's men, they surely wouldn't be spared their lives!
Those two ladies knew they were in the wrong, so they didn't wish to argue with Yun Liuli…
