Lin Wan Bai rubbed his stomach and nodded.
Huo Chang Yuan who had already relaxed his eyebrows walked to her side and sat down, an arm was placed behind her naturally as he started to chat with Lu Xue Lin. Very quickly, the Aunt Li in the kitchen informed that dinner was ready.
Because Lu Xue Lin had come as a guest, he added a few more dishes. The color of the night sky changed as the atmosphere in the restaurant became warm.
After dinner, when Lin Wan Bai saw the tea that Aunt Li had brought over, he couldn't help but stand up and say, "Dad, you like coffee, I'll make you a cup!"
"I'll go cook!" Huo Chang Yuan pressed down on her shoulders.
"Dad likes to drink the ones I cook …" Lin Wan Bai frowned.
Huo Chang Yuan shook her shoulder and bit his lips, saying, "It's fine, tell me how to cook it. You're pregnant now, the doctor said that you have to pay more attention during the first three months!"
Lin Wan Bai raised his head, looked at him, and knew that he was being petty again.
I'm afraid the reason for the rest of the story was more than that. Actually, it was because he had asked her not to make any more coffee for any man other than himself!
Lin Wan Bai held back his laughter and nodded, "Alright, then I'll tell you the way …"
The dining room and kitchen were connected, both with orange lights and a warm room.
Lu Xue Lin looked at his future son-in-law who was grinding coffee beans in the kitchen, then looked at his daughter Lin Wan Bai who was sitting opposite of him. His gaze was now fixated on the tall figure inside.
When he recovered from his reminiscing, Lu Xue Lin looked at his daughter. He was a little dazed from looking at her mother, just like the young girl with black hair and white dress that came back to him 20 years ago …
Seemingly because of the fluctuations in his emotions, Lu Xue Lin could not help but open his mouth, "Right now, I often flip through those German translation novels, and I keep thinking about how your mother used to make me coffee! She didn't learn it in the first place. She went to look at books and then she found out a little herself. "
"Fate makes fools of people. Your mother and I might really have a shallow relationship! Although we missed each other back then, we also had the chance to get back together. If we had such a wish, our family of three would not have been separated like this. "
Perhaps it was because he saw her confused and surprised expression, Lu Xue Lin explained slowly, "After I married Little Mei, I spent most of my time travelling to Germany. At that time, you should be eight years old. "Actually, I had thought that meeting again would only result in me being like a stranger. Even if I cannot forget it, I can only bury this feeling deep within my heart."
"If she's very happy, then I can only wish her well. However, I can see that she's not doing well, and she's very gaunt and haggard, which is why I can't control my suppressed emotions, and want to take her away! At that time, she seemed to be very agitated as well, with tears in her eyes. For a moment, I was unable to control my emotions, but she didn't immediately agree to my request. She only said that she would consider it … And then I got news of her death before I got her answer. "
Surprise flashed through Lin Wan Bai's heart, he never thought that there would be such an interlude in the middle of it.
She swallowed the saliva that had been stuck in her throat for a long time and slowly asked, "Dad, at that time, you wanted to reunite with mom, then did your Madam Lu know?"
"Got it." Lu Xue Lin nodded.
After losing Chuchu, love and marriage were completely separate from each other to him. However, when all his emotions broke through and emerged once more, although he felt extremely guilty, he could not hide it from his wife, so he naturally chose to tell Ruan Zheng Mei everything.
Lu Xue Lin sighed and said, "I asked for a divorce at that time, and I've already signed the agreement."
It was obvious what would happen next because of Chuchu's sudden death. All the hope and enthusiasm he reignited were all gone, while the matter of the divorce had been put on hold, as if nothing had happened. After all, they still had their daughter, Lu Jing Xue.
Even though he had completely lost his beloved, he was like lava that had been cooled by ice and snow. He could not muster up any heat, so he continued to live his married life, which seemed to be extremely respectful to others, even after so many years.
"…" Lin Wan Bai lowered his eyes as he clenched each of his fingers tightly.
After she finished listening to Lu Xue Lin's narration, what she recalled was what Zheng Chu Yu had inadvertently said at lunch last night, and what he had told her in the Public Security Bureau …
The night in the north had lost the heat of the day, and the night breeze was cool and comfortable, brushing against one's hair.
Lin Wan Bai and Huo Chang Yuan sent Lu Xue Lin out of the courtyard together, and only when they saw him get in the car and the lights from his tail disappearing into the night did they withdraw their gaze.
The hair that stuck to the corner of his mouth was lightly touched by his fingers, and the hand that was wrapped around his shoulder was slightly exerted.
"Wangwen, let's go in!"
"Mm …"
Lin Wan Bai nodded, but he did not move his feet immediately.
Huo Chang Yuan lowered his eyebrows and looked at her; under the night sky, he saw the corners of her lips were pursed tightly together due to the heavy matters in her heart, so how could he not know what she was thinking about?
Lin Wan Bai's hand was tightly wrapped around his palm. She raised her head, and grinded her teeth together, as she said word by word, "If mother's death is truly related to Madam Lu, then I will definitely seek justice for her!"
Her eyelashes and mouth trembled as she said this, and her voice trembled.
"Don't worry, I know how to do it too!" Huo Chang Yuan lovingly kissed her eyes.
The next day was Sunday, and he could still enjoy a weekend at home. After getting back to work, this time seemed even more precious.
The little bun was lying beside her like a puppy dog, but he still remembered Dung's warning. He didn't press against her stomach and only rested his head on her thigh.
"Wan, the baby wants to see Piggy Page ~"
Lin Wan Bai frowned, "Alright, I will look for the treasures right now!"
The female broadcaster looked at the camera with a serious expression as she reported in a serious tone, "A magnitude 6.8 earthquake occurred at 12: 05 AM local time in South Africa. The number of casualties is unknown, but according to the latest news, many of the victims were Chinese. The earthquake occurred 200 kilometers away from Cape Town, the legislative capital of South Africa …"
The remote control in Lin Wan Bai's hand dropped onto the ground.
The region where the earthquake occurred, was exactly where Sang Xiao Yu was!
