Chapter 789 - 725: Discussion

"Little Star, don’t be afraid. Daddy, it’s them who are bad; they are bad people, bullying Mommy and Daddy," Little Star obediently came out from Lin Wan’s arms and nestled into Han Yi’s embrace.

Han Yi smiled and patted her, saying, "Little Star is so good. Daddy won’t let this happen again in the future."

"Mm-hmm, Little Star is about to grow up. When Little Star grows up, Little Star will protect Daddy and Mommy."

The child’s words brought great comfort to the couple.

"Today is Daddy’s birthday, Mommy especially bought a tasty birthday cake for Daddy, so shall we celebrate Daddy’s birthday together?"

"Okay, okay!"

"Go with your Daddy to unwrap the cake, and Mommy will cook."

Lin Wan ruffled the child’s hair, turned around, and went into the kitchen. The chicken took too long to stew, so Lin Wan chopped it up and made a stir-fried chicken dish, then cooked two other dishes that Han Yi loves.

Lin Wan’s cake was large, and the three of them couldn’t finish it. So, she specially divided it into three parts and sent some to the neighbors opposite and downstairs.

Gu Lin came back early and naturally heard about the situation on Lin Wan’s side, kindly asking,

"Is everything alright now?"

"It’s alright, they’ve left."

"Don’t take it too seriously, as long as your own family is happy, there’s no need to worry about others." This was the most heartfelt thing she had heard from Gu Lin since knowing her.

Instantly, Lin Wan was deeply moved and regarded Gu Lin not just as a good neighbor but as a good friend.

Sister-in-law Jiang also asked a few worried questions. Seeing there was no issue, she too felt relieved for Lin Wan.

Those Mei Family members who came down just now didn’t look too good.

"Mommy, hurry and eat the cake we specially saved for you," Lin Wan saw Little Star lying on the dining table waiting for her when she returned with the cake.

Lin Wan glanced at Han Yi, saw him subtly winking at her, and immediately understood.

He was worried that Little Star might get a tummy ache from eating too much.

"Mommy says, Mommy worked hard making dinner today, so she gets the big portion. Look, Little Star divides. Mommy’s is the biggest!" Little Star held her face, staring unblinkingly at the cake in front of her. Although feeling reluctant, she obediently gave Lin Wan the largest portion.

"Alright, Little Star is so good." Lin Wan sat down, picked a little cake with her fingers, and placed it in her mouth. "Mm, very tasty."

Saying so, Lin Wan picked some more and placed it in Little Star’s mouth. "Is it delicious?"

Little Star smiled blissfully, nodding enthusiastically. Before Little Star could speak, Lin Wan quickly smeared some cake onto Little Star’s cheek, causing mother and daughter to burst into laughter.

Little Star imitated Lin Wan’s actions, scooped a bit, and smeared it on Lin Wan’s face.

Han Yi watched the two women’s faces, helplessly shook his head, and grabbed a towel intending to wipe them off. Unexpectedly, Lin Wan smeared cake onto Han Yi’s mouth.

Han Yi was briefly stunned, then licked his tongue, uttering a sound, and immediately joined in the "war" with the mother and child.

Suddenly, the entire room was filled with joyous laughter and playful chasing.

Once the family had played to exhaustion, Little Star couldn’t resist the drowsiness and stopped. Lin Wan looked at the mess in the room and quickly tidied it up.

By the time the living room was cleaned, Han Yi had coaxed Little Star to sleep. He entered the kitchen and hugged Lin Wan, helping her tidy up.

"Ai Yi, what they said today, is it true?"

"Who cares whether it’s true or false. Whether true or not, if they want to do it, let them. I don’t cherish it, but I wouldn’t be foolish enough to reject it."

"Pfft," Lin Wan couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "It’s all said that older folks are shrewd, but to me, it’s the disciple surpassing the master."

Han Yi raised his eyebrows pleasantly, deliberately misinterpreting, "Xiao Wan..."

Lin Wan’s cheeks turned red from his words, "It’s not good for the child to hear it, lewd."

"Lewd or not, being a bit bawdy in front of your own wife can win her heart, right?"

Lin Wan gave him a side glance; he’s gotten worse over the years.

Originally, Han Yi and Lin Wan thought that the Mei Family members would return home directly after causing embarrassment as before.

Who knew, the next day, they actually visited the Lin Family, looking for her grandfather.

Lin Wan and Han Yi found out in the afternoon when her grandfather asked the second aunt to call them over.

The Mei Family, unable to gain anything from them, tried to approach their elders, hoping her grandfather would emotionally and rationally persuade Han Yi.
