Chapter 282: Tsk, Daddy is so stingy
Chapter 282: Tsk, Daddy is so stingy
After returning to Luming Manor, Lin Wanwan saw Huo Jingchen playing with the children in the living room.
Huo Jingchen saw her coming back and stood up to greet her, "Wanwan, where have you been? I was worried about you."
Lin Wanwan felt warm in her heart, and walked forward to hug Huo Jingchen, "I had nothing to do, so I went out for a walk with Xiaoxuan."
Huo Jingchen hugged her tightly and kissed her lightly on the top of her head, "Remember to tell me when you go out next time, otherwise, I will be worried."
"I know!" Lin Wanwan nodded with a red face.
At this time, Huo Yichen and Huo Yuexi on the side were looking at them with a smile.
"Look, Daddy is kissing Mommy again."
The laughter of Huo Yichen and Huo Yuexi broke the momentary silence, and Lin Wanwan struggled out of Huo Jingchen's arms somewhat embarrassedly.
She walked over to the children and pretended to be angry and said, "You two little brats only know how to laugh at your parents."
Huo Yuexi blinked her big, sparkling eyes and pulled Lin Wanwan's hand, saying coquettishly, "Mommy, I want a kiss, too."
"Okay." Lin Wanwan smiled and kissed her pink cheek, causing Huo Yuexi to giggle.
Huo Yichen pointed at his own face and shouted, "Mommy, I want one too."
As he spoke, Huo Yichen moved his face closer.
Just when Lin Wanwan was about to satisfy Huo Yichen, Huo Jingchen suddenly pulled Huo Yichen away and said, "Xixi can kiss Mommy, but Chenchen can't."
Hearing this, Huo Yichen pouted in dissatisfaction, "Daddy, why can't I be close to Mommy?"
"Because you are a boy, there are differences between men and women, do you know that?" Huo Jingchen looked down at him and answered seriously.
Huo Yichen stuck out his tongue and said mischievously, "Daddy, you are so shameless. Aren't you also a boy? Why can you kiss Mommy?"
Huo Jingchen put his arm around Lin Wanwan's waist and declared his sovereignty: "How can that be the same? Your mommy and I are husband and wife, legally. Besides, your mommy is mine, she can kiss me, but she can't kiss you."
"Tsk, Daddy is so stingy."
Huo Yichen crossed his arms across his chest and walked angrily to the sofa beside him and sat down.
Seeing this, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but push Huo Jingchen and said, "Husband, you are so old, why are you jealous of your son?"
Huo Jingchen held Lin Wanwan's hand and pulled her to sit next to him, smiling: "I'm not afraid that my son will be too attached to you and forget that he is a little man." Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes at him, "You have so many excuses."
At this time, Huo Yuexi ran to Huo Yichen like a little angel, pulled his arm and shook it: "Brother, don't be angry, let's go play with toys, okay?"
Huo Yichen looked at his lovely sister and his anger subsided a lot, but he still turned his head away pretending to be proud.
Lin Wanwan walked over and sat next to Huo Yichen. She said softly with a gentle face, "Chenchen, your father was just joking with you. Of course, your mother can kiss you, but when you grow up, you really have to know how to keep a proper distance from girls. This is a kind of courtesy and respect."
Huo Yichen nodded, not quite understanding, "Okay, Mom, I get it."
Huo Yichen jumped off the sofa and took Huo Yuexi's hand, "Sister, let's go play games!"
The two children ran hand in hand to the toy area nearby, and soon their laughter could be heard.
Huo Jingchen and Lin Wanwan sat on the sofa, watching the children play, with happy smiles on their faces.
"The children are growing up so fast. It feels like they were still in swaddling clothes not long ago." Lin Wanwan leaned on Huo Jingchen's shoulder and couldn't help but sigh.
Huo Jingchen held her hand and stroked it gently, "Yes, we must cherish every moment with them."
On the other side, Ye Sinian received news that Huo Jingchen was secretly investigating the Ye family's tragedy twenty years ago, and subconsciously clenched his fists.
"He still has the nerve to investigate? If it weren't for his father Huo Qiming who set fire and killed people to silence them, my mother, my grandfather, and my younger sister would not have died."
Ye Sinian couldn't help but recall what happened twenty years ago, when he was less than ten years old.
That night, he went to his classmate's house for fun. When he returned home, he saw a raging fire.
Ye Sinian wanted to rush into the sea of fire like a madman, but was held back by Huo Qiming. He could only watch in despair as the fire devoured his home and listen to the screams of his relatives inside. That scene became a recurring image in his countless nightmares thereafter.
Later, his father came back from work and saw this tragic scene. He couldn't accept it for a moment and fainted from tears on the spot.
Afterwards, his father questioned Huo Qiming why he appeared in the Ye family, but he just said that he came to his father casually and happened to see that their house was on fire. He wanted to rush in to save people, but the fire was too big, so he could only call the fire department.
Ye Sinian knew clearly that what Huo Qiming said was pure lies, but there was no evidence to prove his evil deeds at the time, so the matter was just glossed over.
As time passed, others seemed to have gradually forgotten the tragedy, but the deep hatred grew deeper and deeper in Ye Sinian's heart.
His father, Ye, always reminded him that it was the Huo family that had brought their Ye family to what it is today, and that they had to become the richest man in Haicheng before they could compete with the Huo family.
Now that Huo Jingchen has come to investigate the matter again, Ye Sinian feels that the Huo family wants to cover up the truth again and he must not let them succeed.
He secretly vowed to find conclusive evidence before Huo Jingchen, make the Huo family pay the price for their sins, and give justice to the Ye family.
In a coffee shop, Lin Wanwan met Fang Xiaoxuan and her former colleague Xia Lan.
"Wanwan, I'm so happy to see you again." Xia Lan was so excited when she saw Lin Wanwan that she walked up to her and gave her a big hug.
"Lanlan, me too." Lin Wanwan smiled slightly and patted Xia Lan's shoulder.
"Wanwan, I have rarely seen you since you married Mr. Huo. Later, I learned about you on TV. I heard that you have been missing for three years. Where have you been all these years?"
Lin Wanwan smiled faintly and briefly explained her own affairs. "I went abroad and found my biological parents. Later, I came back and Jing Chen found me again. So, I followed him back to Kyoto."
Xia Lan was amazed, holding Lin Wanwan's hand, she said with emotion: "Oh, this experience is too tortuous, but now seeing you living so happily, it can be said that all the hardships have paid off."
Fang Xiaoxuan also nodded in agreement, "That's right! Wanwan is not only the wife of the prince of Beijing, but also gave birth to a pair of cute twins for him. Most importantly, our slum girl has become the eldest daughter of the Jiang family in Haicheng."
"The eldest daughter of the Jiang family?" Xia Lan was surprised. "Could it be that Wanwan is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Nian, who just returned from abroad this year?"
Lin Wanwan nodded and responded with a smile: "Yes, Jiang Nian is my original name? However, I'm used to calling you Lin Wanwan, so you can still call me Wanwan."
"Wait, didn't you say that the eldest lady of the Jiang family is Mr. Jiang outside..." Before Xia Lan could finish her words, Fang Xiaoxuan on the side immediately winked at her.
Xia Lan reacted immediately and realized that she almost said the wrong thing. She quickly smiled and said, "Hey, no matter what your name is, you are the Wanwan we know. What's most important now is that you live happily."
Lin Wanwan knew what Xia Lan wanted to say, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She just smiled and said, "Yeah, that's not important anymore. What's important is that I have people who care about me around me now, and I can live a stable life."
Fang Xiaoxuan also quickly changed the subject, "Wanwan, now that you're back this time, do you plan to visit the places we used to go to? A lot of places have changed."
Lin Wanwan thought about it and nodded slightly: "I really want to go back and take a look. After all, that place carries a lot of our memories. When we have time, we can go there together."
"Sister, you are rich now. You are no longer the slum girl I knew before." Fang Xiaoxuan patted Lin Wanwan's shoulder with envy on her face.
Xia Lan was also full of envy, "That's right, Wanwan, you have transformed yourself into not only a rich daughter, but also the wife of the richest man in Kyoto. You are so happy, aren't you?"
Lin Wanwan smiled faintly, "I know what you two want to say. I'm rich now, so you want me to protect you, right?"
Fang Xiaoxuan and Xia Lan smiled at each other. Fang Xiaoxuan winked mischievously, "Wanwan, you are being polite, but if there is anything that can benefit me, I won't refuse, haha."
Xia Lan also nodded, "That's right, Wanwan, look at how hard our lives were before, and how well you are doing now. If you could help us, that would be great. Of course, even if that doesn't happen, our friendship will still be there."
Lin Wanwan patted their hands gently and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are good sisters. If there is anything I can help with, I will definitely not ignore it. But you also know that there are some things I still need to discuss with Jing Chen."
Fang Xiaoxuan and Xia Lan looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's different when you have a husband. With someone controlling you, you're not as comfortable anymore. You can't make the decision on many things."
"Wanwan, doesn't your master Huo dote on you?"
Lin Wanwan smiled awkwardly, "He makes the decisions on major matters, but I can make the decisions on minor matters myself. Also, he has no control over my career."
"Career?" Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaoxuan and Xia Lan looked at each other.
"Wanwan, you asked us out today, aren't you just telling us that you want to do something big?"
Lin Wanwan nodded and smiled. "Yes, in addition to catching up with you today, I also want to do something. However, I need your help."
