Lin Wan thought for a moment. “Just telling her won’t make her believe it, but giving her unnecessary gifts won’t do much either. I don’t know how to explain to you that there are other ways to show that you care. You don’t really need to spend money on it,” said Lin Wan. She really wanted to help Mrs. Wang because she knew that Mrs. Wang meant well.

“In the first episode, Li Zexuan played the guitar so nicely, but Mr. Li wouldn’t compliment him at all. I stood up for him. Xinxin told me that no one had ever done that for them before. They felt that I was on their side, and I cared for them.”

“Hm… so what can I do for little Wang? I heard from my husband that she is working on her latest computer model. How do I make her happy?

Lin Wan spread her hands helplessly. Mrs. Wang was usually very smart, but Lin Wan didn’t know why she was being so dumb today.

“I can’t tell you what to do. You know her more than I do.”

Mrs. Wang shook her head. “Sadly, I don’t. Last time, old Wang shouted at her for building a new computer, which was very costly. I stood up for her, but she doesn’t really appreciate it. He even shouted at her because she had a boyfriend. She is studying at a university. She is a twenty-year-old adult. She deserved a bit of freedom, right? I defended her then too, but… nothing worked! Old Wang blames me for spoiling her. I am trying to win Little Wang’s approval and my husband shouts at me. What should I even do?”

“Wanwan, it’s been so hard for me to fit into this family. Little Wang’s temper is like Li Zexin’s. No matter what I do, she always sees me as the enemy.” “It is a difficult job,” said Lin Wan.

“It is! Once, Old Wang and Little Wang had a big argument, and they asked me who I felt was right. I didn’t take a side. Little Wang got angry and said that I was a horrible person. Old Wang is too strict with his daughter, and little Wang is so hard to get along with. Their relationship is so bad with each other, but everyone blames me for coming between them. I didn’t even do anything!” Mrs. Wang was on the verge of tears.

Lin Wan did not want to hear about the differences between members of wealthy families. To her, this seemed like a simple misunderstanding that could be solved with open communication.

“The problem is that Little Wang doesn’t see the efforts you make. Instead of defending her in front of her father, you just fight with old Wang behind her back. She doesn’t see your efforts because you never show it to her.”

Lin Wan hoped Mrs. Wang understood her now.

Lin Wan’s mouth was dry from explaining so much. After an hour, she couldn’t take it anymore. She made an excuse and left.

Mrs. Wang saw that it was already dark, so she couldn’t really hold Lin Wan back. She walked Lin Wan to the door.

Li Yanchen was waiting for Lin Wan in the living room.

“Do you have any lozenges at home? My throat feels sore,” said Lin Wan.

Li Yanchen took out the first aid kit from a drawer. He thought Lin Wan and Mrs. Wang had quarreled. “What happened? Did you fight with Mrs. Wang?” Lin Wan accepted the lozenge that he handed to her. “Thanks.” She put it in her mouth. “I’ve never seen such a thickheaded person before.”

Auntie Huang and Auntie Bao also came out of the kitchen. “What’s wrong?” they asked.

“Nothing’s wrong,” said Lin Wan. “Why do you all think something must have gone wrong? I never quarrel with people.” Her throat finally felt a bit better.

“Did Mrs. Wang ask you… strange questions?” asked Li Yanchen. Lin Wan had told him that the ladies of the Royal Water Bay talked about everything from personal matters to business ideas.

Lin Wan nodded. “She asked me to teach her to get along with her stepdaughter. I explained to her, but I don’t think she gets it. I’m a little worried. ”

Auntie Huang and Auntie Bao both heaved a sigh of relief. “You scared us,” said Auntie Huang.

“See? Nothing to worry about. It’s already 10 p.m. Aren’t you two going to bed?” asked Lin Wan.

“We were just talking and forgot the time. We are going to go and rest now. You should too,” said Auntie Huang.

Lin Wan and Li Yanchen went upstairs to their bedroom.

It was a completely different world inside and outside the villa. After returning to the room, Lin Wan changed into a short-sleeved nightdress. Li Yanchen had already taken a shower, and he was flipping through some channels on the TV. He raised the volume deliberately so no one would try to disturb them.

The light in the room was on, and there were two glasses of red wine in the cabinet.

“Wanwan, have a drink.” Li Yanchen raised his glass.

“No, that’s alright. I think my throat is too sore. Maybe I’m coming down with the flu,” said Lin Wan as she sat beside him on the sofa.

“I’ll make you some ginger tea.”

“That’s alright. You don’t have to. I thought you would be disappointed after so many preparations.”

He kissed her on the cheek. “Why would I do that? I want my wife to rest well and be healthy. I promise to leave you to recover for the next few days. I won’t try anything,” he said. “Let me dry your hair. You’ll catch a cold.” He handed her a book while he got up to get the hair dryer.

Lin Wan raised her head. She was shorter than him. When she raised her head, she could see his sculpted neck. Her eyes moved to his jawline.

She put down the book and pulled him close. Li Yanchen was startled by her sudden change of mood..
