Maisui laughed, “Yes, my father is the best.”
Lin Lan immediately educated her, “When you grow up and you’re looking for a partner, you should also look for someone who knows how to love you and is strong enough to protect you. You shouldn’t look for those…”
“Mom!” Maisui said anxiously, “I’m merely a kid and you’re telling me this now?”
Lin Lan smiled, you’re a precocious child. If I don’t tell you now, what if you fall in love with your male lead in the original plot at a young age. From then on, you’d just compete with the female lead for a man and be cannon fodder in the end.
“I’m not telling you all that for nothing. My Maisui is blessed with good looks and studies well. You will be enrolling into university with that ability of yours, so you shouldn’t fall in love with useless fools. Aim to be a cultured and high-quality woman. When you grow up and become knowledgeable, you’ll be able to pick the kind of man you want.”
Maisui blushed, “Stop talking, I’ll help you cook.”
Lin Lan whispered again, “My daughter, believe in your mother. You will definitely be able to pass the university entrance examination in the future.”
Maisui blushed, “Mom, I’ll listen to you.”
Lin Lan was very happy in her heart.
With Maisui explaining the situation to the other children, they didn’t seem to suspect anything anymore. After all, they knew that their father treated their mother a lot gentler than he was towards them. Even if he were to beat them up, he would never even scratch their mother’s finger.
After lunch, the children left in a hurry as their teacher was going to take them to peel some corn.
Lin Lan asked Erwang and Maisui to take Xiaowang with them because she had matters to handle outside. However, they were to follow their teacher to participate in labor and even though Xiaowang wasn’t going to run around, it would be a bit of a trouble.
After the children had left, Han Qingsong said to Lin Lan, “I’ve taken a work leave for you today, so you can stay home and rest.”
Lin Lan, “I’m going to visit the Supply and Marketing Cooperative in the afternoon.”
Han Qingsong, “I’ll send you off, then.”
“No, there’s no need. You can go to work,” Lin Lan didn’t want to go out with him. Although others didn’t know that they slept together last night, she was feeling self-conscious, thinking that the entire village would be observing them if they were to go out together.
Han Qingsong reached out to hug her.
Lin Lan resisted a little, but acquiesced and let him hug her.
She found that Han Qingsong actually liked physical contact, but his expression was too serious so it was never a good giveaway. His heart was thumping really quickly, even if his facial expressions didn’t say the same.
However, it was natural that his eyes were a lot softer.
This was not a hallucination. After the unrestrained ‘communication’ last night, the magnetic field between them had subtly changed.
She was now more casual in front of him and couldn’t help showing a coquettish expression, which seemed more delicate and appealing to him. He was also gentler towards her. Even if his expression looked serious, his movements and eyes couldn’t hide his affection for her.
It’s a strange feeling, indeed— they were obviously an old couple, so why was this happening?
He lowered his head and kissed her again, not letting go until Lin Lan was almost out of breath before she pushed him away.
Lin Lan gave him an angry look, “Let’s agree that we won’t do these things when the sun is out to prevent the kids from seeing us. Also, even at night, you should limit yourself.”
She pretended to be relaxed, not daring to look at him for fear of being sucked in by his deep eyes.
