“If it can offer some solace to your heart in place of your elder, then it’s fine,” she said, opening her arms.

Lin Yanwan took a deep breath and hugged her tightly. The longing she had accumulated in her past life was finally released at this moment.

She closed her eyes, peacefully savoring the moment of tranquility, feeling utterly content.

Jiang Xia was stunned. His wife's actions were simply outrageous. To make up for the longing from their past life, she could actually come up with such a reason.

No wonder she's number one in the humanities!

If she had been as quick-witted as her that night, she wouldn't have felt so awkward in front of her mother.

Xia Shanshan wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she seemed to vaguely hear a very faint "Mom?"

Really?

Are girls these days so open-minded? Shouldn't they at least wait until they're married before considering this?

However, since they had already called Lao Jiang "Dad" before, it doesn't seem wrong for them to call her "Mom" now.

Just as she was lost in thought, Lin Yanwan slowly loosened her arms and left her embrace.

"Auntie, thank you. I feel much better now." She let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's alright, it's alright. I'm happy to be able to help you." Xia Shanshan smiled and said, "It's getting late, you two sisters should head back early and be careful on the road."

"Okay! Goodbye, Auntie."

Goodbye, Teacher Xia.

Goodbye, Xiaoman.

"Goodbye, Mom." Jiang Xia seized the opportunity immediately.

Xia Shanshan raised her eyebrows.

"Wait a minute! Who said you could leave? Come back here!"
