Chapter 857 - 749: An Uneasy Night

Xie Lingzhi saw her son help her to sit down and didn’t argue with Liang Qian, just turned her face away with a hum, unwilling to see Liang Qian’s expression.

The two of them found each other displeasing to the eye. Lin Wan quickly pulled Liang Qian to the dining table.

"Godmother, don’t be angry."

"I’m not getting angry because of her. I’m actually mad at your Brother Junzi, that brat, sigh."

Lin Wan knew that her godmother had always disapproved of Brother Junzi and Tao Jia’s relationship. Now she didn’t know where Brother Junzi was, so it was better to wait for him to come back and explain himself.

Mei Langchi asked Aunt Wu to make tea. Han Yi also asked Aunt Wu to make some and put it on the dining table.

After socializing for such a long time, Han Yi was worried that Lin Wan couldn’t take it. It’s already past ten o’clock now.

"Are you tired?"

Lin Wan nodded. She just wanted to go upstairs and sleep now.

"Aunt Wu said there’s hot water."

"You and Xingxing go up first, I’ll bring it up for you."

"Daddy, Xingxing is hungry."

Little Star had already slept for a while in the car and felt quite refreshed now.

Lin Wan knew she hadn’t eaten much at the banquet and was definitely hungry now.

"Mom will go check in the kitchen to see what there is to eat."

Han Yi held her back to keep her from getting tired, "I’ll go, you stay with Aunt."

Lin Wan nodded, but Little Star followed Han Yi to the kitchen.

By this time, Aunt Wu had already made the tea and went back to her own room.

In the kitchen, there was nothing actually, probably because they expected they would eat out tonight and didn’t save any leftovers. Originally, in summer, it’s hard to store vegetables anyway.

What was in the kitchen was two leftover steamed buns Aunt Wu had for herself in the evening.

Seeing this, Han Yi made a bun sandwich for Little Star.

He fried two eggs, spread some sauce on the bun, and gave it to Little Star to eat.

"Here, eat. If it’s not enough, there’s still one more."

"Mm, mm."

"Are you hungry?" Han Yi came out to support Lin Wan’s belly and asked.

Lin Wan shook her head, "I ate a lot at dinner, godmother, are you hungry?"

"Hungry? I’m so fed up with anger at Junzi that I’m full; you don’t need to worry about me."

"Why don’t you go up first?" Han Yi was worried Lin Wan was too tired, which could be bad for the baby. He urged her.

The noise from the study interrupted the two of them in the kitchen.

Han Yi and Lin Wan exchanged a look and smiled.

"It’s none of our business, don’t worry about it."

"Mm, but I’m a bit worried about Brother Junzi and Sister Tao Jia."

"No need to worry, Junzi always acts with a sense of propriety. He must have his reasons for doing this."

"What sense of propriety can he have? He’s going to drive me and your godfather mad." Clearly, Liang Qian was ready to scold and berate Mei Lang Jun.

"Godmother, have a proper discussion. Since Brother Junzi likes her, trying to stop it won’t help."

"Oh dear, what kind of misfortune is this," Liang Qian was feeling quite troubled.

Lin Wan didn’t know how to persuade her further.

However, over in the study, once the two elders got into an argument, Xie Lingzhi and the others were sneaking over there to eavesdrop at the door.

Liang Qian saw their whole family eavesdropping and wanted to know about the old man’s matters, so she put Junzi’s matters aside for now and got up to head over to the study. She was curious about the old man and woman’s affairs too.

"You go up first, take a bath, rest well, I’ll take care of Little Star in a while."

Han Yi saw the child choke on a bite of bun and ran to the living room for some tea. He hurriedly urged Lin Wan to go upstairs.

"Mm." She indeed felt tired, her legs hurt a lot.

...

"Do you want to eat?"

Hua Hua looked at the bun in Little Star’s hand, swallowing several times unconsciously.

He was starving, but his mom didn’t care about him.

Seeing Xingxing offer him her bun, he wanted to nod, but remembered what his mom said, so he didn’t dare. He was afraid his mom would be upset.

"It’s okay, your mom can’t see us. Let’s sneak into the kitchen."

Little Star looked over at the study, then quietly took Hua Hua’s hand and hid in the kitchen.

"Here, eat this. My dad made it, it’s delicious." Little Star gave the untouched one to Hua Hua.

"Sister Xingxing, your dad is really nice."

"Of course, my dad is really nice to me and my mom. He says we’re his treasures. Hey, doesn’t your dad treat you well?"

Hua Hua’s expression dimmed, and he asked Little Star back, "Sister Xingxing, do you sleep on the sofa at night too?"

"Why sleep on the sofa? Of course, I sleep in bed, then mom holds me, and dad holds mom." After saying this, Little Star shook her head troubledly, "Sigh, in the hot weather, I don’t let mom hold me, but dad likes holding my mom. My mom is so pitiful, she must be really hot."
