“It’s not that I don’t trust you, I just think you shouldn’t get married just for the sake of getting married.”

Lin Wanwan paused halfway through her sentence, and Cheng Jinyan surely understood.

"Why did you stop talking?"

Lin Wanwan lowered her head and ate her cake.

“I think my senior brother is more capable than me and definitely knows more than me. I don’t mean anything by it. I just hope that you and Bai Ying can be happy.”

Cheng Jinyan kept looking at her. "I know, I will."

Lin Wanwan took a deep breath. "Senior brother, I want you to be happy, you know that, right?"

“I know, I’ve always known.”

The two didn't speak again. Lin Wanwan lowered her head and ate her strawberry cake, while Cheng Jinyan kept staring at her.

"I might be sent abroad."

Lin Wanwan lost her grip on the small fork, and it clattered onto the plate.

Ignoring the fallen fork, she looked up at Cheng Jinyan and asked, "Where are we going?"

"It's not decided yet. I might volunteer to go on this overseas assignment."

"You're the head of the Information Department; it's not your turn to go, so why did you volunteer?"

Don't you want me to be sent abroad?

"I don't want to. Why are you leaving? Aren't you and Bai Ying getting married? Are you planning to go abroad together?"

"It's not like I'm not coming back."

"When will you come back? In a year? In five years? Or in ten years?"

Cheng Jinyan didn't speak, he just looked at her.

"You absolutely have to leave?"

It took Cheng Jinyan a long time to speak, "Not necessarily, I'll consider it for my child."

"Can you not go?"

Cheng Jinyan lowered his head and smiled, "I'll think about it."

Cheng Jinyan took her home after dinner.

"Are you not angry anymore?"

Lin Wanwan grinned at him, "You and Bai Ying owe me a meal, otherwise I'll still be angry."

"Okay, Bai Ying will treat you to dinner next time."

Lin Wanwan waved to him, "Senior brother, be careful on the road."

Only after Cheng Jinyan's car was out of sight did Lin Wanwan turn around and go back into the house.

I can't say I'm in a bad mood, but I feel like both of them are treating marriage like a game.

However, Lin Wanwan couldn't say too much about other people's lives, even though both of them were people she was close to.

"What are you thinking about? You're looking down and not even watching where you're going."

Lin Wanwan heard the sound and looked up.

Lu Feng stood in the moonlight, his face expressionless, but he gave her a very gentle and reliable feeling.

She reached out and hugged him, snuggling against him.

Lu Feng hugged her and patted her head. "What's wrong?"

"They got married just for the sake of getting married; the senior wanted to be sent abroad."

Lu Feng didn't know how to comfort her. "We got married just for the sake of getting married at first, but we fell in love and are living happily ever after. You have to have faith in them. Brother Cheng isn't a rash person."

Lin Wanwan hugged him and nodded.

"Let's go in first, Mom has asked several times already."

The two walked slowly hand in hand.

"Finally back! I asked Auntie to make pigeon soup. Quick, quick, have Auntie bring it in."

Lu Anyang put down his book and looked up at Song Lanzhi. "Mom, why isn't there pigeon soup for dinner tonight?"

Song Lanzhi ignored him and told the aunt to bring the soup.

"You two are both strong and healthy, why would you want soup?"

"Mom, you're being too biased. She looks healthier."

Lin Wanwan smiled and took her hand. "Mom is the best. She always thinks of me."

"Of course, you are my precious daughter."

Lin Wanwan drank her soup with satisfaction.

"It tastes so good."

"The cooking time is perfect, and everything is top-quality. You can skip the meat, but you must finish the soup."

Lin Wanwan nodded obediently, "Mom, do you want some?"

"No, no, if I want to drink it, I'll have Auntie stew two bowls. You drink it."
