Lin Wan Bai's body slowly softened from a little bit of stiffness to the point where he was wrapped around the crook of his arm.
When he thought about how she did not receive it when he went to pick her up in the Lin Clan, and how her expression looked so abnormal when he came out, Lin Yong Yi definitely would not hide it from him.
He buried his face in his chest and closed his eyes, trying his best to smell the masculine scent emanating from his body, hoping to draw some strength from it.
"Then you should know that I'm not the daughter of the Lin Family. I'm not related by blood to my father, and I don't even know who I am …"
"So what?"
Huo Chang Yuan asked in a low voice. He reached out and pulled her face out of his embrace as he lowered his eyebrows and stared at her intently, "Even if you are an orphan, what's the difference?
Lin Wan Bai was forced to raise his head and saw the pair of deep and serene eyes staring deeply into space.
She believed that this was not to comfort her. Ever since the beginning of their relationship, she had been abandoned by the Lin Clan as their daughter, and he had never cared about her.
She had lost her mother, her grandmother, and now she wasn't even sure who her father was, but what did it matter?
She was his woman, that was enough!
Huo Chang Yuan's long fingers stroked her eyebrows, and he asked softly, "Will you be sad?"
After finding out about this from Lin Yong Yi, he immediately drove over here. Walking along the path of the coffee shop, he saw her figure walking alone amidst the crowd with her shoulders lowered. It was obviously the sunset, but she seemed to have a black cloud over her head.
Especially when he saw her walk on the street in a daze, being run into by passers-by, and then seeing her bury her head in his arms, with an inexplicable sore throat, he didn't know how to feel sorry for her.
"I won't …" Lin Wan Bai shook his head.
Compared to sadness, perhaps it was more at a loss of what to do and lost …
Lin Wan Bai raised his hand and gently held onto his, shaking him a little, "Don't look at me like that, I feel like a pitiful puppy!"
Huo Chang Yuan was amused by her description.
He kissed her forehead and eyelashes, then pulled her lips and said, "You did well. You did not lose Dou Dou."
"I'm not a crybaby!" Lin Wan Bai protested.
Huo Chang Yuan raised his eyebrows at her, "What's wrong, should we continue hugging here, or go home?"
"Uh, let's go home!" Lin Wan Bai sat back down from his embrace.
After Huo Chang Yuan put down the hand brake, he suddenly tilted his head and looked at her, a mischievous glint appearing in his eyes, "Long time no see, shall we find a quiet place to rest?"
"Don't cause trouble …" Lin Wan Bai immediately bit her lips in shyness.
"Really?" Huo Chang Yuan took her hand and lightly pressed it against his belt.
Lin Wan Bai said softly, "... "Hey!"
Withdrawing her hand, she quickly fastened her seatbelt and sat up straight. She only dared to peep at him out of the corner of her eyes. The glow from the sunset that came through the window made her blush even more.
Huo Chang Yuan started the engine, smirking as he merged the Land Rover into the flow of traffic.
En, he finally no longer had a bitter face.
Huo Chang Yuan sat on the high-backed chair, his back facing the window which was shining brightly with the setting sun.
He took out a cigarette from the pack and held it between his fingers. He shook the lighter a few times, but suddenly remembered that if he wanted a daughter, he had to quit smoking and drinking as much as possible. Although there was no movement until now, he was still looking forward to it.
With his thin lips curled up, Huo Chang Yuan placed the cigarette back into the box.
Xiao Yun Zheng, who was wearing a suit sat opposite of him. When she raised her head, she coincidentally saw a light arc on the corner of Yue Yang's lips.
Xiao Yun Zheng closed the documents in her hands and placed it on the desk, "I have looked through all of these documents and have already grasped the basic information, tomorrow I will go as promised and discuss on how to cooperate further."
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan bit his lips.
"These few days, I've been flipping through the company's internal accounts, and it gives me a headache!" Xiao Yun Zheng sighed, "There are also many other big and small projects, all of them were brought up by you, if you were to pass them to me now, it might not go smoothly, furthermore, I am not very good at them either."
"You'll have to get used to these things sooner or later." Huo Chang Yuan's tone was light.
Xiao Yun Zheng frowned, she paused for a while, then said, "Father did not have any choice, so he called me back. You are the most suitable person for this position, are you sure you want to leave it at that, and not change your mind?"
"Nope." Huo Chang Yuan replied very straightforwardly.
Xiao Yun Zheng still wanted to say something, but he raised his hand to stop her.
"I'm done."
Huo Chang Yuan lowered his head to look at his watch, picked up his jacket and said solemnly, "En, then wait for me for two minutes, I will go downstairs now."
Although Xiao Yun Zheng did not know who the caller was, from the look on his face when he spoke, he could guess who it was. It was only when she was face to face with Lin Wan Bai that he revealed a trace of unwittingly gentleness.
After Lin Wan Bai hung up, he held onto little bun's hand and stood in the hall and waited.
Today, she brought little bun to the Taekwondo classes in the afternoon, and it was already evening by the time they finished. She wanted to eat outside, so she called him and had Uncle Li deliver them directly to Hauptmann's.
In fact, she really wanted to go upstairs. It was the looks from the others that made her feel shy and uncomfortable. She wanted to go to the side of the rest area to sit down and wait, but there was the sound of an elevator.
She had only subconsciously looked, perhaps it was Huo Chang Yuan. She hadn't thought that she would see someone she didn't really want to see.
Lin Wan Bai wanted to pretend he did not see it, and turned around to avoid the attack with Little Bun. However, she did not expect him to have such sharp eyes, and noticed him at almost the same time.
"Miss Lin!"
Lin Wan Bai frowned, "Miss Lu."
As if sensing her resistance, the little bun who was being held by her hand raised his head and shouted in a soft voice, "Wangwang!"
Immediately after, she stood in front of her with her cheeks puffed up, her eyes that were like black grapes staring at Lu Jing Xue defensively, as though she was protecting her.
Seeing that, Lin Wan Bai's heart warmed, he could not help but raise his hand to caress his head.
When Lu Jing Xue saw her mother and son being so filial, her expression became stiff for two seconds. However, she was a person who was good at hiding her true feelings, and quickly recovered to normal. She revealed two dimples, "Miss Lin, I really admire you!"
"What do you mean?" Lin Wan Bai pursed his lips and asked.
"Chang Yuan left the business world for you at such a young age, to even give up on the CEO of the Hauptmann's, your charm is really great! Aren't you touched by the fact that you don't love a beauty like Jiang Shan? " When Lu Jing Xue finished her sentence, she felt that she was gnashing her teeth in jealousy and hatred.
Lin Wan Bai only said, "That is our problem."
The little bun looked towards the elevator and suddenly shouted, "Dung!"
When the two of them looked over, they saw Huo Chang Yuan's tall figure walking straight towards them, but the one walking towards them was actually the mother and son, even though they were so close, their eyes did not stop on Lu Jing Xue's body.
"Chang Yuan!" Lu Jing Xue could only say softly.
Huo Chang Yuan's deep and quiet eyes turned to the side, only to hear his say, "Sunny, I've already informed the Lu family, the next report will be sent over, you don't need to personally run away anymore."
After he finished speaking, he did not even wait for her reply and directly bent down to carry his son's single arm, then held onto Lin Wan Bai's hand and walked out of the building without returning.
Lu Jing Xue clenched her teeth tightly, the smile on her face looked extremely graceful and elegant.
She stiffly looked at their figures, not knowing what they had said, and saw the curve of Huo Chang Yuan's lips from afar.
Many people in the hall also stopped to stare, but all of them had envious looks on their faces. All of their gazes seemed to be provoking her, saying that they were a happy family of three, even though they really were …
Only after the figure disappeared did she unwillingly retract her gaze.
She stood there and waited for a few seconds. When she was almost there, she took the initiative to walk towards one of them, revealing two sweet dimples, and said, "Yun Zheng, let's eat together!"
