Since getting married, Lin Xiaohai has maintained contact with his family, sending a letter every month and making a phone call every week to let them know he is safe, without fail.
He Yumei often told Lin Wanwan with satisfaction that although she was somewhat dissatisfied with finding a foreign wife, Lin Xiaohai had indeed become much more sensible after marriage.
Lin Xiaohai suddenly returned three years after he went back to France.
They also brought back a two-year-old mixed-race son.
Lin Wanwan, who went to pick them up at the airport, stared in shock at the two people in front of her, one big and one small.
Lin Wanwan was picked up at the airport. Lin Xiaohai offered to do so, saying he missed his sister and that no one else should make the trip alone.
The child fell asleep, nestled in Lin Xiaohai's arms.
Lin Wanwan only came to her senses after getting on the bus.
"What do you mean by this? A phone call every week, a letter every month, without fail, but you've never mentioned the children?"
"Sis, can you hold him for a while? It's tiring. His dad usually takes care of him, so I'm not used to taking care of him for so long all of a time."
Another bombshell dropped, leaving Lin Wanwan stunned.
"Papa?"
Lin Xiaohai lowered his head and said, "Sister, I've never had a wife. I'm a despicable person. I fabricated a huge lie just to be with him."
Lin Wanwan took a deep breath, "Then what about this child?"
“The child is mine, my own flesh and blood. There are many ways abroad that don’t require marriage or sleeping with a strange woman; all you need is my sperm.”
"So, three years ago, you decided to go back to France just to do these things?"
“My parents would definitely not agree. I don’t want to waste my energy on this. I’d rather make up a dream for them. That might make them more accepting.”
Lin Wanwan didn't know how to express her current feelings.
After a long pause, he finally said, "So why did you come back this time? To let your parents see their grandson?"
"Yes, and I'll also tell my parents I'm divorced."
"You've been playing this long game for three years, all for this day?"
Lin Xiaohai remained silent, looking down at the child.
"Sister, I don't want the family to be in turmoil because of me. This is the best solution I can think of."
Lin Wanwan started the car and drove home. She knew that what Lin Xiaohai said was true, and she also knew that this was indeed the best solution at the moment.
only…….
What is this? Lin Wanwan didn't know either. This matter would probably remain unsolved for another twenty or thirty years.
How can I cooperate with you?
Lin Xiaohai laughed and said, "No need, just don't expose me."
Lin Wanwan sighed, "How have you been these past few years? You've lost weight."
Lin Xiaohai's eyes were red, and the tears he had been holding back all the way finally fell.
After a long pause, she said in a tearful voice, "Okay, I lost weight because I was too busy with work. I'm very happy, sister, being with the person I love and doing the job I dream of."
"That's good. As long as you're happy, that's more important than anything else. If you need anything, just ask me. You're raising a child now, and you have a family now. Your sister may not have much else, but she has plenty of money."
"Sis, you're still the same as when I was little. You only ask me if I'm happy and what I want. Although you're strict with me, you'll give me anything I want."
"I'm not that good, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Lin Xiaohai smiled and didn't say anything more.
What's the child's name?
"Lin Lin, Lin as in Qilin, nicknamed Pea. I originally wanted to find a homophone of your name to give him a nickname, but it felt a bit too feminine, so I called him Pea."
"Which one of you can understand me?"
“He has been learning Chinese for the past few years, and now he can understand it.”
Lin Wanwan chuckled lightly, "I'll bring him back to play next time."
"Yes, I'll definitely come back if I have the chance."
When they arrived home, the whole family was stunned to see the little one in Lin Xiaohai's arms.
The child was stunned to see so many strangers.
Lin Wanwan smiled and reached out to him, calling his name in French.
Whether the child felt a connection to French or simply liked Lin Wanwan, he reached out his hand directly to her.
Lin Wanwan immediately took him and spoke to him softly in French.
A two-year-old child can already say quite a few words.
He pointed to the people inside the room and asked Lin Wanwan in a low voice, occasionally throwing in a few words of Chinese.
Lin Xiaohai wasn't in a hurry; he trusted his sister to take care of the child more than anyone else.
She directed the aunt to help carry the luggage inside, but He Yumei grabbed her arm and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Just as Lin Xiaohai was about to speak, he heard the child suddenly say a sentence in fluent and clear Chinese.
"Grandma~~"
He Yumei was taken aback at first, then immediately smiled at the child. She couldn't care less about her son now; her eyes were only on the glutinous rice ball in front of her.
Lin Wanwan then pointed to Lin Jianbang next to her.
The child nodded in sudden understanding and smiled sweetly at Lin Jianbang, "Grandpa."
Lin Jianbang was overjoyed and quickly said, "Quickly bring the children inside. Even though it's May, it's still windy outside. Come inside quickly."
He Yumei immediately called to the auntie, "Auntie, hurry, hurry, bring some fruit and some snacks for the children."
"Uncle-in-law~~"
Lu Feng patted his head and spoke to him in French.
Pea's eyes lit up; her aunt and uncle had said the same thing.
Lin Xiaohai put down his luggage, changed his clothes, and then went downstairs.
"Pea, speak Chinese. Didn't you learn it at home?"
The child tilted his head, trying to understand what his father was saying.
It took him more than ten seconds to stammer, "I like Auntie."
Lin Wanwan laughed and kissed his cheek, "Auntie likes peas too."
