Chapter 194: Does Indulging In My Desires Count?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Even if we can’t do business with Taixi, we can find a way to build a good relationship with Taixi’s people. Mom, don’t we have connections in the R&D department? When the time comes, we’ll work together from the inside and let the Old Madam know about Taixi’s existence so that she can focus her attention on us again.” Ye Zhenzhen said, “When that time comes, let’s not act like how we used to. We should talk about terms and benefits. To that old lady, relationships are worthless.”
“Alright.” Ye Weiyin nodded heavily and said, “When necessary, we will ask Lin
Wanli for help.”
The two of them had always thought that Lin Wanli was just letting them go.
But in fact, the two of them were already in Lin Wanli’s game.
When Lin Wanli reached home, it was already dusk. The air was hot and humid.
However, as soon as she got out of the car, she saw Yan Qiu standing behind Huo Jiuxiao with little Youran in her arms. They seemed to be waiting for her.
“I’ll take you to a place.” Huo Jiuxiao took Youran from Yan Qiu’s arms and brought Lin Wanli into his black car.
Song Huaishu and Yan Qiu sat in the front, while Huo Jiuxiao’s family of three sat in the back.
Little Youran rarely went out. At this moment, she couldn’t sit still on her father’s lap and moved around. Lin Wanli quickly carried her and looked at Huo Jiuxiao seriously.
[I want to install a child seat for Youran.]
“I’ve already arranged it, but the foreign goods haven’t arrived yet. It’s not far. I won’t let her get hurt.”
Lin Wanli didn’t say anything. She only reached out to wipe the bread crumbs from little Youran’s mouth. The little girl was getting more and more greedy.
Lin Wanli didn’t know where their destination was, so she didn’t ask. It took less than 20 minutes for the black Rolls-Royce to stop under a ginkgo tree. Lin Wanli looked outside with the child in her arms and finally understood why Huo Jiuxiao had arranged for it to be at night.
After they got out of the car, Huo Jiuxiao naturally took Huo Youran from Lin
Wanli’s arms. Then, he put his arm around her shoulders and said to Song
Huaishu and Yan Qiu, ‘Wait here.”
Lin Wanli looked at the cemetery and understood what was going on. She raised her head and asked the man.
[Don’t you need to buy a bouquet of flowers?]
“She doesn’t like flowers.”
Lin Wanli nodded. She looked a little nervous even though the person she wanted to see was already dead.
The two of them walked past the long stone steps and passed by a group of solemn monuments. Finally, they stopped in front of a pavilion. Beside the pavilion stood a pine tree, and Mrs. Huo’s grave was placed there. Lin Wanli looked at the photo on the stone tablet. She felt that it was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Huo Jiuxiao looked like his mother, but the woman on the stone tablet didn’t have much of a mother’s charm because she was young.
This was a woman driven crazy by love.
Lin Wanli had the memories of two lifetimes. In addition, she had been secretly paying attention to everything about Huo Jiuxiao in her previous life, so she knew that Master Xiao’s mother’s life experience was extremely miserable.
This was probably the reason why Huo Jiuxiao refused to forgive his father. “Meet your daughter-in-law and granddaughter.”
At this moment, Master Xiao’s voice sounded in the silent night. It was low and heavy as if it was afraid of disturbing the people in the tomb.
His mother’s experience was a warning bell that Huo Jiuxiao used to strike himself. Don’t fall in love with anyone, because love was too worthless, love was too fickle, love was the most hurtful weapon in the world, and he had upheld this for several years.
But now, there was a person who didn’t care about anything and could tolerate everything. Every day, she only cared about whether he was happy or not. She felt sorry for all his experiences and was always protecting him.
No one could reject such simple and pure love, and no one could reject such a strong and gentle lover.
Therefore, he finally understood how his mother felt back then.
Even if the outcome was not satisfactory, she never regretted loving.
“Baby, come and see Grandma.” Lin Wanli took Youran from Huo Jiuxiao’s arms.
“This is our first meeting. I didn’t know what you liked, so I brought your granddaughter here.”
“Although the Huo family has made him suffer a lot of pain and suffering, and our future is filled with all kinds of uncertainties, I’m still grateful that you brought him into this world and made him my husband and the father of my child. ”
“I love him very much. I think you understand the depth of this love. Although I don’t know how long I can accompany him, I will do my best to make him happy every day. This is what you owe him. I’ll help you pay it back. As a thank-you gift, you have to bless him and protect him from all pain.”
Huo Jiuxiao turned his head to look at the mother and daughter. Something in his heart seemed to be slowly melting away. In the past, when he was imprisoned, he also had Lin Wanli and his daughter, but he still felt bored and lonely and even felt that it was short-lived.
But now, he could feel hope and the power of rebirth. “Why do you have so much to say to people you don’t know?”
Lin Wanli turned around and looked at Huo Jiuxiao.
[Because of you, we got to know each other now. Huo Jiuxiao, you brought me here. Does that mean that you can face some things on your own?]
A feeling that he did not dare to look directly at.
He could look straight at it.
In the past, he could not forgive his mother’s stubbornness and did not understand why she refused to let go. Now, he understood everything.
“I told you, I’ll let you get to know me.” Huo Jiuxiao held the mother and daughter in his arms as the family of three stood in the dark.
[Shouldn’t you start with what you are fond of? What are you fond of now?]
Huo Jiuxiao took a deep breath. He seemed to be helpless against her. Then, he pursed his lips and murmured, “Does indulging in my desires count?”
Lin Wanli chuckled and raised her eyebrows at him. She seemed to be asking him, “What do you think?”
“I’m currently fond of Ah Li.”
Meanwhile, in Zhou Tingyang’s apartment.
At this moment, Xiao Qinke had officially moved in. However, Zhou Tingyang was not sure if it was because of his carelessness, but he could still see Ye Zhenzhen’s belongings in some corners.
Zhou Tingyang quickly apologized to Xiao Qinke when he saw Ye Zhenzhen’s personal belongings. “Maybe I didn’t notice it when I was cleaning the trash.”
“I heard that the Ye family’s mother and daughter ran away from the Lin family like two homeless b*tches. What are your thoughts at this moment? I’m very curious. Why did you fall in love with her in the first place?” Xiao Qinke picked up Ye Zhenzhen’s clothes with her index finger. Her face was full of mockery as she said, “Tingyang, you know that I hate her, right? You only took her things away. How is that enough? You must know that you broke my heart for her back then.”
“Then what do you want?” Zhou Tingyang threw Ye Zhenzhen’s belongings into the trash can and asked Xiao Qinke.
“Make her disappear from my sight forever..”
