“Yes, it’s been hard on her.” Lin Tianwan’s heart ached for her.
As they spoke, the two of them walked to the sofa. Aunt Zhou pointed at the sofa and gestured for Lin Tianwan to take a seat.”Mr. Lin, please have a seat.”
Lin Yiqian then proceeded to carry Xiaoyu away.
“Grandma Zhou, who is this?” Xiaoyu suddenly raised his head and noticed Lin Tianwan.
He glanced at Lin Tianwan before turning to aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou did not know how to introduce Lin Tianwan to Xiaoyu.
“This child is …” Lin Tianwan asked curiously.
He pointed at Lin Xiaoyu and spoke in a very polite tone.
“It’s little Yi and nianshen’s godson. His name is Xiaoyu,”aunt Zhou immediately replied.
Song Changwen had instructed her to tell anyone that Xiaoyu was Lin Yiqian and Gu nianshen’s godson if anyone asked.
Lin Tianwan’s eyes turned cold after hearing aunt Zhou’s introduction.
Hmph, godson!
Given how powerful the Gu family was, there was no way they would be afraid of Lin Yiqian and the rest of the Lin family finding out about the existence of the illegitimate child.
So, it might really be as Miss Xi had said, they might have other thoughts.
“You look just like nianshen,” Lin Tianwan said as he tried to get some information out of aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou was a little nervous.”Y-yes.”
Lin Tianwan noticed aunt Zhou’s reaction and chuckled.”No wonder the internet says that she’s nianshen’s illegitimate child.”
He then patted Xiaoyu’s head gently.
Aunt Zhou could tell that Lin Tianwan had a hidden meaning in his tone. Just then, a servant came in with some tea. She smiled and interrupted,”the rumors on the internet are all nonsense. Mr. Lin, have some tea.”
As she spoke, she bent over and pushed the teacup toward Lin Tianwan.
“Xiaoyu, go upstairs and play first. Grandma will be here for lunch later.” She turned around and held Xiaoyu’s hand.
“Alright.” Lin Xiaoyu nodded obediently.
He stood up, put the book in his hand on the sofa, and prepared to leave.
“Little fellow, wait a moment.” Lin Tianwan suddenly called out.
“Uncle?” Lin Xiaoyu turned around to look at him.
Lin Tianwan laughed when he heard the word ‘uncle’. He waved his hand and said,””You shouldn’t call me uncle. You should call me Grandpa.”
There was a natural doting tone in his voice, the kind that an adult should have towards a child.
“This is mommy Lin’s father,” aunt Zhou introduced Lin Tianwan to Xiaoyu.
After thinking about it, this was the most appropriate introduction.
Hearing that, Xiaoyu thought for a moment and asked innocently,””Is that Grandpa?”
Lin Tianwan was stunned when he heard the word ‘Grandpa’. He stared at Xiaoyu’s toot face and fell into a daze.
No one responded. The little guy pouted and said in a slightly puzzled tone,””Mommy has never talked about mommy’s daddy.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianwan felt a little embarrassed.
Naturally, he knew very well why Lin Yiqian did not mention him to anyone.
Seeing the awkward smile on Lin Tianwan’s face, aunt Zhou quickly pulled Xiaoyu away.”Let’s go play.”
“Please have a seat, Mr. Lin. I’ll send the child upstairs before I get the kitchen to prepare lunch,” Lin Yiqian said with a smile.
He had to call Chang Wen to tell her.
“There’s no need to go through all that trouble. I was here to visit little Yi. I didn’t expect her to be at the office so early.” Lin Tianwan waved his hand.
Aunt Zhou shook her head and said enthusiastically,”it’s no trouble at all. Our Madam will be coming over for a meal later. It’s Mr. Lin’s first time here, so he always leaves after a meal.”
