My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks

Chapter 82: 082 Advice in the Elevator_1

Lin Xiangwan was uneasy in her heart, but after thinking it over, she decided it was better not to question it.

Song Yichen was rich, but it was his money to have, as long as he didn’t owe them anything, why should she care about his wealth?

She soothed herself with these thoughts and soon calmed down. She was just about to fall asleep when the sky outside started to turn bright.

She got up early, packed her household registration and ID card, took a bath in the early morning, dried her hair, loosely knotted into a simple bun, and even wore a long white skirt.

This skirt was the most expensive one she had bought, a gift brought back for her by a colleague who had been to France, much cheaper than it would’ve been domestically!

Standing in front of the mirror, Lin Xiangwan looked at her petite cheeks, pointed chin, flat stomach, and slender figure, nodding in satisfaction!

Normally, she wouldn’t say it loud, but in her heart, she was quite satisfied with her figure and always enjoyed preening in front of the mirror!

If she didn’t mention it herself, would anyone even ever know she had a child?

Giving herself a satisfied smile, Lin Xiangwan turned and looked at the boy lying in bed.

She nudged his little body. "Wake up, son. We have to catch an early flight!"

This morning, as soon as she turned on her phone, she received a text message from Song Yichen, saying that the plane was due to leave at eleven o’clock.

Qin Yutong obstinately kept her eyes shut and didn’t move.

"Son..." Lin Xiangwan urged impatiently.

"...."

Lin Xiangwan felt the child’s temperature, he didn’t have a fever and must be in perfect health. Indifferent, she uncovered the blanket, revealing his small feet, ready to tickle them.

Just as Lin Xiangwan’s eyes landed on his small feet, she was taken aback. "Your feet seem to have gotten thinner and... whiter? Who are you?" noveldrama

Qin Yutong opened her eyes, blinking. "Mommy, what are you suspecting? Are you doubting that I’m your son?"

Lin Xiangwan looked again at her son’s small face, which was unmistakably her son’s, but... what about his feet?

"..." After a long silence, Lin Xiangwan expressed her perplexity. "You look like my son, but... ever since you came back from Sanya, it seems you’ve grown immensely, and you’re so different from before. And you always make well-reasoned statements that surprise me."

Qin Yutong was genuinely delighted that her mother could spot the difference between her and Lin Haoran. Although she had been trying hard to imitate him, she also hoped her mother would recognize her!

Indeed, she yearned for it deep within her heart. "Mommy, are you happy with my changes?"

Lin Xiangwan pondered for a moment before nodding. "The current Ranran indeed makes mommy proud, but I also loved the old Ranran... I like both..."

"...." Qin Yutong’s eyes welled up with tears, overwhelmed with emotions. "Which one do you prefer?"

Lin Xiangwan was also torn. "They’re like two people with different personalities. I love both, I don’t want to lose either!"

Hearing this, Qin Yutong was quite pleased. At least, her mother didn’t say she preferred Lin Haoran. "Mommy, I am Ranran... I’ve just grown up!"

"What about your feet?" Lin Xiangwan was still skeptical.

"Feet... maybe I’ve lost weight recently!"

"But the shape of your foot also isn’t the same!" Lin Xiangwan looked at the child suspiciously. "Are you really Lin Haoran?"

Qin Yutong chuckled deliberately. "Mommy, do you think someone would disguise themselves as me and then cheat you? What are they going to take from you – your money, or something else?"

She was a poor mother; she didn’t have much to lose. But she still felt that he wasn’t Ranran, which made her think of her dead daughter.

No... impossible.

How could she be alive and kicking when she’s already passed away?

It’s probably just that she’s overthinking. It’s definitely and most certainly Ranran.

Maybe his feet have changed because he’s really lost weight.

"Okay, get up now, get dressed quickly, let’s head to the airport, alright?" Lin Xiangwan gave up her doubts.

It’s best not to entertain absurd thoughts.

"Mmh... I don’t want to get up..." Qin Yutong wanted to delay time.

"Or... I’ll drop you off at Grandma Wu’s, and I’ll come back tomorrow!"

"No!" The little figure immediately sat up from the bed.

"Hehe... I knew I had to scare you like this!" The mother rejoiced as her ploy worked.

"Wuwu..." Qin Yutong pretended to cry, but in her heart, she was weeping.

Mommy was getting married, and the groom wasn’t papa? She didn’t want a stepfather, what should she do?

................

Lin Xiangwan led her son and exited the office, pulling their suitcases.

Just as they entered the VIP elevator, they unexpectedly bumped into Qin Muchuan who was also heading downstairs.

Lin Xiangwan’s face turned grim and she leaned against the wall, watching the changing numbers, stoic.

Upon seeing her father whom she had not met for a while, Qin Yutong almost greeted him but managed to swallow her words just in time.

Silently, she lowered her baseball cap and put on her sunglasses.

Qin Muchuan glanced at Lin Xiangwan, unable to resist a smirk. "In a hurry to get married?"

Lin Xiangwan flashed a grin. "Yeah, I’m finally getting married!"

Qin Muchuan raised an eyebrow, speaking in businesslike tones. "Don’t you think you’re losing too much in this marriage? Isn’t it too easy and too cost-effective for him?"

Lin Xiangwan saw through his insinuations, accusing her of being too easy to get hitched to. "We’re genuinely in love, I don’t care about benefits!"

Qin Muchuan dropped his smile and solemnly advised, "Don’t make it too easy for a man to have you. If it’s too easy, he won’t cherish it. Do you know why some women don’t worry about divorcing even if they cheat?"

Lin Xiangwan was surprised, this was something she genuinely didn’t know.

Qin Muchuan repressed a smile, turned his face away from her, and spoke quietly. "Because when they got married, they had high prices. Firstly, men can’t afford to divorce. In divorce, this woman can take away half their property, who can willingly bear that? Secondly, it costs a lot to marry a wife. Marrying the first one already consumes half the savings of the parents, who would dare to divorce recklessly and marry a second one? But if a wife doesn’t demand a dowry and would not split the property, who cares about divorce?"

Qin Yutong sincerely admired her father, he was brilliant.

She tugged at mommy’s sleeve, whispering, "Mommy, this uncle is so right!"

Lin Xiangwan understood these truths, but she just wanted to oppose Qin Muchuan. "Actually, I understand your intentions. You’re just trying to disrupt me, prevent me from being happy. Unfortunately, I’m onto you..."
