Chapter 1328 - She couldn’t help but complain to Lin Nuan.

She looked disheveled. He reached out to tuck her stray hair behind her ear, but Cai Jingyao dodged him.

Cai Jingyao only managed to hold back her tears after breathing a few times. She tucked her stray hair behind her ears, and her gaze landed on the bag that Mr. Dan was holding. She thanked him, “Thank you for sending the bag up for me! I’m sorry for troubling you again!”

Mr. Dan handed the bag to Cai Jingyao and glanced at the closed apartment before asking, “We’re already at the door. Aren’t you going to invite me in?”

Cai Jingyao shook her head in astonishment. “Mr. Dan, it’s already so late. This isn’t appropriate…”

Seeing the young lady’s gaze, Mr. Dan seemed to be pleased. He reached out to stroke Cai Jingyao’s head.

Cai Jingyao dodged again, unable to hold back her tears. She clutched her bag tightly and summoned her courage to look up at Mr. Dan. “Mr. Dan, can you not be so gentle with me? Or, can we not meet again in the future? Or I… I…”

Mr. Dan edged closer to Cai Jingyao, giving her a strong sense of pressure. “Or you what…?”

Cai Jingyao took a step back, her back knocking against the door. With reddened eyes, she shook her head. “Mr. Dan, if not… I’ll feel terrible. I’ll feel ashamed because I like you.”

Cai Jingyao then turned around and opened the door with the key, quickly entering and closing the door.

Once she entered the house, Cai Jingyao took a deep breath, and her pitiable expression immediately disappeared. She smiled as she casually wiped away her tears…

She knew men too well. To men, a wife was inferior to a concubine, and a concubine was better than a mistress… A mistress was better than not having one!

Cai Jingyao was using this method to hook this Mr. Dan!

Cai Jingyao planned to lead him to believe that she had already liked him even before knowing his marital status. After finding out that he was already married, she felt incredibly guilty. In order to make herself forget about Mr. Dan, who was a married man, she could only force herself to keep a distance from him.

She was portraying the image of a pure and innocent young lady who had her own bottom line and morals!

Such a young lady, the higher her status… the more old men who had lost their innocence and purity liked.

Cai Jingyao was confident that she already had Mr. Dan in her bag.

This time, be it Lin Nuan, Bai Xiaonian… or Song Yao, they would burn with envy.

…

Lin Nuan had promised Liang Mulan that she would take the two kids back to the Lins’ house on the weekend. Old Master Lin and Old Madam Lin had come over as well, saying that they wanted to see their great-grandson Tuan Tuan and their great-granddaughter Yuan Yuan.

Fu Huai’an was on leave that day, so he drove them over personally. The trunk was filled with presents for the family.

Old Madam Lin and Liang Mulan both had the habit of eating bird’s nest. Fu Huai’an had asked someone to look for a supreme-grade bird’s nest. When Old Madam Lin received it, she knew that it was a valuable item, and she was very touched…

It wasn’t because the item was expensive, but because it was hard to find. It could be seen that Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan had put in a lot of effort. After all, they hadn’t raised their granddaughter for nothing; she still remained concerned about them.

The old lady hugged Yuan Yuan and refused to let go. The little missy was incredibly pretty and liked to smile. She was so adorable.

“Our Yuan Yuan is exactly the same as Nuan Nuan when she was young!” When Old Madam Lin smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened. She looked up and said to Liang Mulan, “Mulan… take out Nuan Nuan’s childhood photos. Let’s compare them!”

When Liang Mulan heard Old Madam Lin mention Lin Nuan’s childhood photos, she was afraid that Lin Ran might overthink things and subconsciously looked towards Lin Ran.

But Lin Ran was just playing with Yuan Yuan, who was in Old Madam Lin’s arms. She didn’t seem to mind.

Lin Nuan took into consideration Lin Ran’s feelings and said, “I asked Mom to clean up my photos for me a while ago, so I could bring them to my birth mother to see. There shouldn’t be anything left here…”

Liang Mulan knew that Lin Nuan had always been good at taking care of others. She reached out to hold Lin Nuan’s petite hand.

Lin Nuan held Liang Mulan’s hand and said with a smile, “But everyone says that girls look like their fathers. I feel that Yuan Yuan should look more like Huai’an. It’s a pity that I’ve never seen a photo of Huai’an when he was young!”

When Tuan Tuan heard this, he shook Old Madam Lin’s arm and asked, “Does Tuan Tuan resemble… Mama when she was young?”

Old Madam Lin looked up in surprise, then smiled and said, “Yes! Our Tuan Tuan is exactly the same as Nuan Nuan when she was young. Just like her, Tuan Tuan is also sensible and adorable!”

As Old Madam Lin spoke, she stroked Tuan Tuan’s little head, pressing her forehead against the little one’s.

Tuan Tuan smiled and shielded Yuan Yuan, who was in Old Madam Lin’s arms. He was so happy that his ears turned red, and he secretly turned to look at Lin Nuan.

Lin Nuan squatted down and placed her hand on Tuan Tuan’s shoulder as she played with Yuan Yuan, who was in Old Madam Lin’s arms. She then said to Tuan Tuan, “The way Mama sees it, Tuan Tuan resembles Yuan Yuan the most because you’re siblings!”

Tuan Tuan nodded vigorously. “Resemble Yuan Yuan most!”

Yuan Yuan was still very young and it was her nap time. She fell asleep as her family took turns to hug her. Liang Mulan had long prepared a baby crib in Lin Nuan’s room. She accompanied Lin Nuan upstairs to place Yuan Yuan in the crib.

Liang Mulan couldn’t bear to part with Yuan Yuan. After rocking the crib for a while, she said mysteriously to Lin Nuan, “Right, a few days ago, Gu Shaoting’s parents came to our house. They wanted Gu Shaoting and Xiao Ran to get engaged. However, because things weren’t going well previously, they didn’t dare to bring it up recklessly. They were merely testing it out with words.”

“This is a good thing!” Lin Nuan smiled and said, “Mom, aren’t you always worried about Xiao Ran? You can tell that Xiao Ran really likes Gu Shaoting. You can just go with the flow and help her!”

Liang Mulan nodded and gently patted Lin Nuan’s petite hand. “Your dad and I think the same. We’ve discussed it with Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran agrees too. We’ll be waiting to see how sincere Gu Shaoting’s family is.”

“Now that Xiao Ran has settled down, all that’s left is your older brother… Your older brother! He really angers me! He can’t succeed in anything. Don’t tell me he’s really planning on not getting married for the rest of his life?” Liang Mulan was fuming at the mention of Lin Chen, so she couldn’t help complaining to Lin Nuan.

So many daughters of wealthy families that went on blind dates with him had taken fancy of Lin Chen.

However, after Lin Chen met them, he said that none of them matched him. He claimed that they had nothing to say! But be reasonable! What could two strangers talk about on their first meeting!?

The moment Lin Ran entered, she heard her mother complaining to Lin Nuan. She gently closed the door and walked towards Liang Mulan with a smile. “Mom… didn’t you say that you would no longer care about Brother? Why are you complaining to Lin Nuan again?”

Liang Mulan was dumbfounded.

“I said that out of spite. How could I really not care about your brother? No matter what, your brother is someone that came out of my womb!” Liang Mulan poked Lin Ran’s forehead with her finger.
