Chapter 1594: Chapter 1671: My Lady
“Wow! Your Mandarin is really great.”
Lin En, hearing the pliment, blushed and smiled, “I’m going to be a Chinese son-in-law, of course I need to speak Mandarin.”
“Cough cough…” The Duke nearly choked on his tea.
Liu Yilan paused for a moment, instinctively looking at the Duke upon hearing the cough. In her heart, she was taken aback by his striking appearance. Hmm! Now she can tell her roommate that not only is the Duke not ugly, he’s especially handsome.
After casting another couple of glances, she once again focused her attention on Lin En.
The Duke stroked his chin, wondering if he lacked any charm. But no, that’s not it!
“Can I call you Auntie?” Lin En asked expectantly.
This adorable and well-behaved little boy was irresistible to anyone. Liu Yilan nodded with a smile, “Of course you can. Actually, are you mixed-race?”
“Yeah!” Lin En gave a thumbs up, “So smart, then can you guess why I’m looking for you?”
“I have no idea.”
Lin En didn’t hold back any longer. He excitedly took a beautiful Barbie doll from his small bag and handed it to Liu Yilan. “This is a gift for my little wife, please help me take it to her.”
Now Liu Yilan was pletely baffled. What wife? Why should she take it?
“Cough cough cough…” This time the Duke choked badly, tossing his teacup onto the table, no longer daring to drink tea. This brat, ever since ing back with him, has been constantly thinking about his little wife.
He’s still so young!
Clearly, he’s quite restrained himself, so why is his son so bold?
Seeing Liu Yilan’s confusion, Lin En anxiously said, “Aren’t you my aunt’s good friend? Then take it with you when you return to the country.”
The two of them had been talking for a while but didn’t get to the point, and the Duke couldn’t help but say, “My son’s aunt is Sheng Ning.” These people are really dense, even though he’s speaking Mandarin, he can still guess what they mean with his English.
No way, if his son speaks Mandarin and he doesn’t, what if there’s a generation gap?
The Duke stroked his chin, secretly planning to have Amber hire a Chinese tutor for him when they got back.
“Sheng… Sheng Ning?” Did she hear that right?
“Yes! My aunt is Sheng Ning! She’s currently in M Country, but she’ll be returning soon. If you’re going to M Country, even better. This way, the little sister can receive my gift sooner, but if you’re returning to the country, that’s fine too. When I return to England, I’ll prepare more gifts for you to take back.”
Lin En rambled on for quite some time, but Liu Yilan’s mind was a total blur. It was like a swarm of bees buzzed around in her head, making her half prehend Lin En’s words, yet feel like she heard nothing at all.
“You said Sheng Ning is in M Country? She’s not dead?” Finally, Liu Yilan zeroed in on the main point.
“That’s right!” Lin En was momentarily startled, “Auntie, didn’t anyone tell you? Auntie isn’t dead, she even gave birth to twin babies. The older one is a boy called Big Brother, and the younger one is a girl called Little Sister, who is my little wife.”
Speaking of his little wife, the little guy shyly smiled again.
“You’re not lying to me, are you?” Liu Yilan found it a bit hard to believe, it was too incredible for her. Back then, the letter from Chen Huaying made it very clear that something had happened to Sheng Ning.
She had left them forever.
Since then, she didn’t dare look at letters from China anymore, immersing herself in studies and piano practice every day.
