Lin Wan nodded, "Last ti, I didn’t pay attention at all; the shape Little Star held was a bit irregular, I didn’t expect that thing would be a diamond. Ai Yi, this diamond is sothing valuable and expensive indeed."
"How could such a valuable thing be in a flower pot? Mr. i wouldn’t be foolish enough to put it in a pot, or could it be there are so many good things that they’re just carelessly thrown around?"
Lin Wan shook her head, "When shall we take a trip to the old house, just in ti to check the pots upstairs? See if there are any more."
"I just ran into Mr. i at the door; he wants us to go back tonight."
"Mm-hmm, Dad, Mom, we’re going to find Shiniliangliang," Little Star jumped up excitedly upon hearing this.
Han Yi quickly held her and patiently soothed his daughter; such things shouldn’t be ntioned casually. Otherwise, if Mr. i found out, it would be hard to handle.
The family of three happily chatted for a while. They strolled around their courtyard; this place was bigger than Mom’s place in S City. But it was empty inside, except for the main house where they slept; there wasn’t much furniture.
"Ai Yi, we don’t have much to do recently, let’s fill in so cheap furniture, shall we? If guests co, they can stay." If Dad dealt with his work matters, he could stay with them for a couple of days.
"Alright, let’s take a look around the streets these days. Since everyone says they’ll celebrate the New Year here, we can also prepare so festive goods in advance."
"Mhm." While familiarizing themselves with the area, they could find so spots. Opening their restaurant here wouldn’t be bad either.
Su Ling ntioned that over here Chen Haichang introduced an agent to them, but Lin Wan didn’t know where it was yet.
Speaking of Chen Haichang, he introduced so many big clients to them, yet she hadn’t had the chance to thank him.
Just in ti, she thought about how to thank him.
Around five o’clock, Han Yi drove Lin Wan and Little Star to the old house.
However, i Langchi and Ye Qing arrived half an hour earlier than them. When they entered, Ye Qing was sitting on the sofa, peeling an apple for Old Mrs. i.
"Grandma, please have this. I specially bought it for you; the inside is soft, easy to eat."
"Mm, you’re thoughtful, I love this stuff. Haha."
Lin Wan watched Old Mrs. i’s face bloom into a smile and secretly thought Ye Qing was skillful. In just a few days, she’d managed to charm the two won of the i family.
"Oh, Ai Yi, Xiao Wan is back..." Old Mrs. i greeted them with a smile as she saw the couple entering. But when she caught sight of Lin Wan’s bulging belly, she froze, "When...when did this pregnancy happen?"
"Already over seven months, grandma," Lin Wan replied without hiding, supporting her stomach with a smile.
"Oh dear, so it must have been last ti you were here, you know, sothing so important, how could you keep it from us? Quick, sit down and rest. If I’d known you were expecting, I would have made you co back right away yesterday; how could you serve others with such a big belly? Your second aunt and Ah Qing shouldn’t have kept it from us either."
"Mom, I didn’t an to hide it; you didn’t ask, and yesterday I was busy taking care of Little Star, so I neglected the matter. Ah Qing didn’t go to pick up Lin Wan yesterday?" Liang Qian quickly explained as she ca out of the kitchen.
"I...I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, got off the car halfway," Ye Qing awkwardly smiled from the side.
"Hurry, sit down." Old Mrs. i was visibly delighted upon seeing Lin Wan’s significant belly and didn’t care about who was right or wrong.
Lin Wan subtly glanced at Han Yi, knowing Old Mrs. i cherished their child, Han Yi didn’t mind, just concerned sothing might go wrong in the end. But having just discovered today, they wouldn’t act for the ti being.
After helping Lin Wan to sit, he went to pour so hot water for her to warm up.
As Mr. i ca out from the room and noticed Lin Wan’s large belly, the look in his eyes altered.
He casually called Han Yi into the study.
In this family, besides the godfather and godmother, the only person genuinely happy for her was that neglected father-in-law of hers.
After learning of Lin Wan’s pregnancy, he urgently asked Aunt Wu to buy a fish and so ribs to stew for Lin Wan.
On the contrary, Xie Lingzhi had a sullen face the entire ti; anyone with eyes could discern her displeasure.
i Langchi, on the other hand, remained quiet with a gloomy expression, making it hard to guess his thoughts.
Lin Wan’s pregnancy stirred different feelings within the i family, leaving Lin Wan slightly tense, afraid none of them wanted her to go through with having the baby.
In the living room, Old Mrs. i kept questioning Lin Wan about every detail from when she got pregnant to how many months along she was, and whether the baby was a boy or girl.
Lin Wan patiently answered Old Mrs. i’s questions. Ye Qing, sitting beside her, chid in from ti to ti, her sincere smile almost convincing Lin Wan of her genuine change.
Lin Wan suddenly realized Ye Qing’s change might be related to the diamonds; could she have thought those things were in Old Mrs. i’s possession?
Though it was possible since Mr. i and Old Mrs. i married young, she couldn’t have been unaware of what things Mr. i had.
After chatting with Old Mrs. i for a while, Lin Wan deliberately yawned a few tis. Seeing this, Old Mrs. i hurriedly asked Aunt Wu to set up her bed.
"I originally planned for you to return for the New Year; I’ve already had Aunt Wu prepare your room. It’s not quite dinner ti yet; I had Aunt Wu set up a foot bath so your bed will be warm."
"Thank you, Grandma."
Lin Wan thanked Old Mrs. i with a smile and held Little Star’s hand to head upstairs.
All of a sudden, Ye Qing chid in with a sly smile, "Sister-in-law, how can you rest well with Little Star along? Why not leave Little Star downstairs to play with Hua Hua?"
"Yes, Little Star, play downstairs with your brother so your mom can rest," concurred Old Mrs. i, genuinely thinking of Lin Wan’s well-being, oblivious to Ye Qing’s ulterior motives.
