Old Lin Ze’s mouth twitched a bit, then he angrily shouted at his grandson: "What a disgrace, why bring up such a thing?"
Lin Mubai felt wronged: "Grandpa, didn’t you teach me not to lie?"
Lin Ze ignored him, just focusing all his attention on his future granddaughter-in-law whom he didn’t quite know how to react to: "Nannan, besides being unreliable, this bastard is good in every other way, don’t you dislike him."
"Grandpa, I..." This reaction, this situation, was entirely beyond An Nan’s expectations.
However, it also made her clearly understand that these people weren’t angry about her and Lin Mubai deceiving them, they were even worried she might not like the man beside her.
In an instant, An Nan’s heart was swept by a strange feeling, she then took a deep breath, amidst everyone’s puzzlement, stood up from the sofa: "I’m sorry, it was wrong of us to deceive you last time, I’ve realized my mistake now and promise not to do it again."
This act of sincerity greatly improved the Lin Family’s impression of her, especially Lan Yiqing, her future mother-in-law, who happily pulled away from her husband’s embrace, grabbed the future daughter-in-law’s soft hands, and said with joy: "Daughter-in-law, come with Mom upstairs, I’ll show you something fun."
Without giving anyone a chance to speak, she pulled her upstairs.
Behind them, Lin Haotian was the first to stand up and pat his son’s shoulder: "This girl is nice, cherish her well."
After his son left, Lin Ze and Zhang Qi continued back and forth.
"Mu Bai, now that you have someone, when will you bring back a granddaughter-in-law for me?"
"Yes, yes, it’d be best to have a little girl too, with Little Jia You included, our family would be complete." Newest update provıded by novᴇlfire.net
Hearing great-grandmother’s words, Little Jia You, who had been listening quietly, suddenly lifted his surprised dark eyes, a complex emotion welled up inside.
He somewhat understood An Nan’s reason for not bringing him home all these years, from a genetic standpoint, that person was his kin, but still less kind than those in front of him.
The other person then smiled at him sincerely with direct eye contact, saying: "Little Jia You, rest assured, even if you have a sister, you will always be the most loved grandson by your great-grandfather and great-grandmother."
Little Jia You looked at the two elders’ loving faces, for the first time, he calmly asked what was on his mind: "Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, why not a brother?"
Actually, even if An Nan had her own son, he wouldn’t be jealous, instead, he’d do everything he could to cherish this brother, for he always remembered how much An Nan sacrificed for him.
Little Jia You’s question made the two elders burst into laughter, even Lin Mubai couldn’t help but smile as he gently ruffled his soft hair, explaining to him: "We already have you at home, so having a little girl will be just right."
Lin Mubai’s words clearly told the little one that they are family, and he believed that the smart little one would understand.
Little Jia You indeed understood, filled with joy that words could not describe.
And though he wasn’t good at expressing emotions, he silently nodded: "I understand, Uncle Mu Bai, I will be good to my sister."
