"..." "Yeah." Lin Wan Bai stuttered.
Huo Chang Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes. "Then why do you call her aunt so affectionately?"
"Auntie told me to call you that …" Lin Wan Bai did not dare to meet his gaze, and looked down at the leather shoes beside the door. The light was reflected on Cheng Liang's leather shoes, "I used to work in a private financial company, and was acquired by Rong as the new Boss. That's why I had to go on a business trip with her, maybe due to fate, she has always been good to me …"
What she said was the truth. It was just that she avoided getting too serious.
"Is that so?" Huo Chang Yuan frowned.
"Yes …" Lin Wan Bai swallowed his saliva.
Huo Chang Yuan's deep and calm eyes focused on her, as if they were firmly locked.
Lin Wan Bai's eyes drooped, as if she was allowing him to freely examine her, and her face maintained a natural look as much as possible, with only her hands tightly clenched behind her back.
A few sounds came from inside, as if Sang Xiao Yu had heard the commotion at the profound entrance, opened the door and stuck her head out to take a look, but when she saw Huo Chang Yuan, he quickly hid like a tortoise.
Lin Wan Bai took the opportunity to speak, "It's getting late, I'm going to sleep …"
Huo Chang Yuan was silent for two seconds, then retracted his right leg.
The anti-theft door closed behind him. He put his hands in his pockets, turned around, and walked to the elevator.
Coming out from the apartment building, Huo Rong who had a headache from drinking too much and wanted to walk around to enjoy the wind was lazily leaning on the chair. She held an iPad in her hand and inside the car, there was her wife's farce playing.
Huo Rong was completely captivated by the scene, and upon hearing the sound of the car door opening, he was stunned.
He turned his head and saw his nephew sitting down with his legs crossed. He asked in surprise, "You came down so quickly?"
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan bit his lips.
"Cabbage went upstairs?" Did you personally see her enter? Didn't I already say that I'm not in a hurry! " Huo Rong sat up straight and looked at the apartment building with disappointment.
"She said she wanted to sleep." Huo Chang Yuan said indifferently.
Glancing at the iPad in her hand, she casually asked, "What kind of TV show are you watching in the car?"
"What do you care about this TV show!" Huo Rong unhappily pushed the iPad back onto the chair in front of him.
Huo Chang Yuan looked at her sudden change in expression and frowned, "Aunt, have you reached menopause?"
"Who are you talking about!" Huo Rong glared unhappily, and bellowed: You dare to say it again, I'll give it a try! "To actually say that I have menopause, I think you must be itchy. Do you think that I am too old to fight?"
"I was joking." Huo Chang Yuan had no choice but to answer.
Huo Rong snorted coldly, she did not seem happy, and made the driver stop the car, "Go sit in the front, so that it will not hinder my eyesight!"
"…"
The next day was a weekend off, and the afternoon sun was bright.
When Sang Xiao Yu came out from the bedroom yawning, she saw Lin Wan Bai also coming out from the other side, as if he was about to go out.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost 3 o'clock!"
Hearing that, Sang Xiao Yu was horrified, she looked at the clock on the wall, "Ah? It's already been so long, and I've actually slept for so long! "
Lin Wan Bai knew that her drowsiness had gotten worse after getting pregnant. He wanted to ask her how she was feeling these past few days, but she just covered her mouth and charged into the bathroom, letting out a retching sound.
She quickly ran to the kitchen to pour a cup of warm water and followed along, causing Sang Xiao Yu to vomit all over the place.
When she was pregnant, her reaction was not very strong. Now that she thought about it, it was fortunate that the child did not torture her too much, but only thought about the dead baby that was covered in blood, and her hands and feet instantly turned cold.
"Xiaoyu, how are you?" She handed him the water.
"Ah, it's alive!" Sang Xiao Yu sat on the toilet, and after drinking half a cup of water, she gasped, "Little White, I'm telling you, pregnancy is not something a human should do!"
"…" Lin Wan Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She supported him to the living room's sofa and couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoyu, don't you plan to not let Dr. Qin know about the pregnancy?"
"I don't plan to!" Sang Xiao Yu answered straightforwardly, she could tell that he had already thought it through.
"But …" Lin Wan Bai frowned.
"We are already divorced. From now on, we have to walk our own paths. I don't want to tie the children up or drag them down!" After Sang Xiao Yu finished speaking, her expression immediately became dispirited, and her voice trembled uncontrollably, "What if he doesn't want to stay?"
Lin Wan Bai fell silent upon hearing this.
She had a nagging feeling that wouldn't happen, especially when she thought about the way Qin Si Nian was dressed in the white coat. As a doctor, there was no way he would be so ruthless as to not keep his child.
Sang Xiao Yu didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she asked her, "Don't talk about me, are you planning to go out?
"Last night when I was eating, I bumped into Lin Yao Yao …"
Lin Wan Bai recounted what happened, and after hearing it, Sang Xiao Yu was extremely shocked, "Are you sure it was her?"
"En!" She nodded.
"My god, that's great news!" Sang Xiao Yu became excited, and slapped her thigh, "It means that the heavens have eyes, good and evil will be rewarded eventually, it's not that they don't want to report, but that the time has not come! The western restaurant diagonally across from the Palace of Friendship? I have to see it for myself one day! "
Lin Wan Bai pursed his lips, "I don't know what's going on either, so I'm preparing to go back to the Lin Residence."
Half an hour later, she was in a taxi.
Looking at the private path that passed by, he didn't see much change in these four years.
After Lin Wan Bai left the country, he very rarely contacted the Lin Family. He could only give Lin Yong Yi a short phone call during special festivals, but the father and daughter pair did not have much to say, and she had not told him about this after returning home.
The taxi stopped in front of a villa and she got out of it after she got her change.
It was the same as every time. After taking a deep breath, Lin Wan Bai walked across the courtyard and headed towards the villa.
She didn't know why, but she felt a little lonely. After entering the door, only an elderly nanny came out. She wasn't familiar with her, so she asked about the situation and told him that Master was reading the newspaper in the living room.
As he walked in, Lin Wan Bai looked around.
She finally understood where that cold feeling came from, because other than the nanny, there was no one else in the villa who was a servant, nor did she see the cold and aloof Li Hui.
When Lin Wan Bai entered the living room, he saw Lin Yong Yi sitting on the sofa.
He held a newspaper open in his hand and a pair of flowery glasses hung on his head. He looked as if he had aged a decade. Both his temples were completely covered in white hair.
The nanny went over to him and looked at her, surprised for a long moment, then remembered to ask her to sit down.
In these four years of time, the father and daughter pair, who were not really close to each other in the first place, felt a little awkward. After a few short chats, Lin Wan Bai mentioned that he had met Lin Yao Yao, who was a waitress in the restaurant.
When Lin Yong Yi heard her mention the Lin Clan, he could only sigh, "The Lin Clan had already collapsed."
