Over the next few days, Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan visited almost every snack street and attraction in Donghai, leaving their footprints everywhere. Zhao Yanyan, meanwhile, was busy overseeing the renovation of the supermarket, having had her fill of ‘watching the lovebirds’.

Focused on her career, she decided not to actively pursue Su Lin. However, Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan’s blissful days were about to end as early one morning, Lin Xiaowan received a phone call.

“Who’s calling so early, Xiaowan, didn’t you switch off your phone?” Su Lin sleepily opened his eyes and gently nudged Lin Xiaowan.

“Stop it, hubby~! Let me sleep a bit more, I’m so tired,” Lin Xiaowan protested, hitting Su Lin.

“Heh! Okay, I’ll check who’s calling.”

Seeing the caller ID, Su Lin’s expression changed, and he whispered to Lin Xiaowan, “Honey, it’s your dad.”

Lin Xiaowan’s sleepiness vanished as she opened her eyes, “Who?”

“Your dad. Here~!!”

Lin Xiaowan gestured for Su Lin to be quiet and answered the call.

“Lin Xiaowan~!~!”

Lin Guoqiang’s booming voice came from the phone, startling her, “Dad, what’s wrong?”

“How can you ask what’s wrong? I sent you to Donghai to visit your aunt. Where is she?”

“Uh... Dad, I didn’t go to Auntie’s place,” Lin Xiaowan honestly replied.

“Then where are you now? You’ve been in Donghai for a week, staying out for so long. Are you still my daughter?” Lin Guoqiang sounded frustrated.

He didn’t realize that Lin Xiaowan had grown beyond his control and was no longer obedient.

“Dad, I’m at the Donghai branch of Quan Le Gou, busy with work these days,” Lin Xiaowan answered.

“Quan Le Qou has expanded to Donghai?” Lin Guoqiang was surprised.

“Yeah, Dad, you might not know, but this month we opened six branches in Zhongjiang and one in Donghai.”

“Doesn’t Su Lin know the phrase ‘steady and sure’? Opening seven stores at once, isn’t he afraid of overextending? And you’re just following him in this recklessness,” Lin Guoqiang said angrily.

“Uh... Su Lin has his plans, Dad. You’re just too conservative,” Lin Xiaowan argued.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you for a week.” Then she clung to Su Lin: “Su Lin, let’s not go anywhere today.”

Su Lin understood immediately and pulled the blanket over them.

...

The next morning, Su Lin drove Lin Xiaowan back to Zhongjiang, which moved her. However, her mood soured upon learning Su Lin was planning to bring Xia Shiyu to Donghai for a few days.

“Su Lin... you...”

“Xiaowan, it’s not my fault. Remember what you and Xia Shiyu agreed on? We can’t favor one over the other. I can’t just take you to Donghai and not her,” Su Lin said with a wry smile.

Lin Xiaowan remembered her promise to Xia Shiyu before they went to Donghai and sighed, “You had this planned all along, didn’t you? Sending me back today wasn’t the main reason; you mainly wanted to pick up Xiaoyu.”

Su Lin protested: “Xiaowan, you’re misunderstanding me. I didn’t think like that. It just occurred to me while picking you up to keep my promise...”

“Really?”

“Of course, Xiaowan, why don’t you stay and come to Donghai with me?”

Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes: “You just talk nonsense. Don’t you think I don’t understand?”

“Cough... cough...”

Seeing Su Lin’s embarrassed face, Lin Xiaowan laughed. His cautious attitude was a sign of caring for her. As for bringing Xia Shiyu, they were good friends, and she didn’t mind that much.

Lin Xiaowan had seen enough in the Imperial Capital to know that many powerful men had more than one woman. In this world, outstanding men always attracted many women.

“Su Lin~!!”

“Hmm?”

“You must promise to think of me every day. Don’t forget about me because of Xiaoyu,” Lin Xiaowan said somewhat plaintively.

“Don’t worry, how could I forget my wife?”

“And stop staring at Yanyan’s legs. So what if they’re a bit longer than mine? Are they really that attractive?”

“Cough, Xiaowan’s legs are naturally the most beautiful.”

“Hmph!! You do know how to talk.” She murmured under her breath as a smile broke out of her face. “You just know how to make me happy.”
