It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Lin Xuqiu returned to the Wen family.
At this time, Wen Yanci was still working in the study.
Wen Yanci is a workaholic. In the past, their relationship was cold and he always worked overtime at the company until very late.
Now that their relationship is getting better and better, he leaves work on time and continues working in the study.
Hearing the noise outside and knowing that Lin Xuqiu had returned from the Luo family, Wen Yanci stopped what he was doing.
Walking out of the study, I saw the woman slumped on the sofa.
He walked over to the woman, squatted down, and asked in a gentle voice.
"How come you're so tired after going to a birthday party?"
Lin Xuqiu opened her eyes, looked at the man in front of her, and then beckoned to him.
"Come here and give me a shoulder massage."
Wen Yanci obediently helped her up, stood behind her, and massaged her while controlling the strength.
Lin Xuqiu was so comfortable that she kept humming sounds from her mouth.
"Hubby, you should change your career and become a technician. Business will definitely be good."
"Who else but you has the honor of enjoying my massage?"
"Then I'm so honored, hubby."
"Actually, there's nothing much to the birthday party. We just eat and drink together and chat with the old man."
"But I had to maintain a proper sitting posture and smile the whole time, and I had to answer questions from the elders. I persisted for several hours and was really exhausted."
Listening to her story, the man looked somewhat helpless, thinking that she was burdened by her image.
As she enjoyed the massage, her eyelids grew heavier and her voice became lower.
"Honey, my mom praised me tonight."
"What did your mother-in-law praise you for?"
"She praised my outfit today and made her proud."
Wen Yanci frowned and looked down at her who was drowsy.
"Hubby, you know what? She rarely praises me, and this may be the last time she praises me."
"Why do you say that?"
Lin Xuqiu patted her cheeks and became more sober, but did not answer the man's questions.
Wen Yanci stopped massaging and walked up to the woman.
"Xuqiu, what did you just say?"
Now she is fully awake and knows what she just said.
Now that she has spoken, she doesn't intend to hide it any further.
"Yan Ci, I want to tell you a secret."
"Actually, I'm not my mother's daughter. I'm not the daughter of the Lin family."
"Why is this happening?"
In response to the man's question, she took out the words she had prepared beforehand.
"I just learned the truth not long ago."
"Because my parents and I have so many differences, I secretly did a paternity test and found out that I am not their biological daughter."
"I couldn't accept it at first, but I chose to continue investigating the truth."
"After investigation, it was found that my mother was so grief-stricken by the death of a loved one that she had a miscarriage and had to give birth prematurely to a baby girl."
"On the same day, in the same hospital, there was also a premature baby girl named Lin. This baby girl might be me. The hospital mistook her identity and gave her the wrong bracelet."
"After learning the truth, I did a paternity test with this family, and the result was that I was indeed their daughter."
Wen Yanci stared at Lin Xuqiu with a complicated expression.
"Xuqiu, you kept this whole process a secret from me, so you never considered me your husband from the beginning to the end, right?"
He didn't care whose daughter she was, what he cared about was that she kept him secret as an outsider.
If he hadn't asked her, she wouldn't have planned to tell him.
Lin Xuqiu looked up at the man in front of her and explained.
"Because I'm afraid you'll divorce me if you find out I'm a fake daughter."
"How could I possibly do that? Don't you know how I treat you?"
"But our relationship was very cold before, and it's only getting better now, so I didn't dare to say it before."
"So you changed your attitude towards me after you doubted your own identity?"
Lin Xuqiu knew that he had let the cat out of the bag and felt a pang of regret.
Doesn't this mean that all her actions during this period were false and insincere, just to please Wen Yanci?
The man looked at her guilty and flustered face, and there was nothing he didn't understand.
No wonder she became so different two months ago and took the initiative to repair the marriage. It turned out that all this was false.
At this moment, his eyes were as cold as ice, staring deeply at the woman in front of him.
He wanted to see through her and know what she was thinking.
Are you thinking about how to fool him next?
Lin Xuqiu didn't dare look directly into Wen Yanci's eyes and lowered her head in shame.
"Yanci, I'm sorry."
Wen Yanci didn't want to hear her apology. This was not the answer he wanted.
He turned away in disappointment, not wanting to continue staying with this woman who had been fooling him.
Seeing the man's receding back, Lin Xuqiu began to panic.
Her intuition told her that if she let him leave, he might really not want her anymore.
So she chased after him and hugged the man's waist tightly from behind.
"Husband, don't leave."
Her voice was filled with tears, which made the man soften his heart.
"Hubby, please listen to my explanation."
The man was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low, magnetic voice.
"Okay, I'll listen to your explanation."
The man turned and looked at her, waiting for her explanation.
Lin Xuqiu spoke softly with tears in her eyes.
"I did try to please you with a purpose at the beginning. I was afraid of being kicked out of the Wen family."
"But as we got along later, I really fell in love with you, and I don't want to leave you."
