"good."
Whatever the baby says goes.
The nanny led the way, and Wen Shiyu let Lin Xiaoxiao hold her hand, walking obediently beside her.
This obedient and docile demeanor caught the nanny's attention.
I'm a little curious about Lin Xiaoxiao.
But she always kept her responsibilities in mind. As soon as she entered the house, she poured a glass of water for Lin Xiaoxiao and Wen Shiyu, and then went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
"Madam, what dishes should we prepare for lunch?" The nanny asked Wen Shiyu for her opinion when guests arrived.
Wen Shiyu simply said, "Make it more lavish."
The nanny understood.
After taking the money, I went out to buy groceries.
Before leaving, she made sure to call Wen Mo to let him know that Lin Xiaoxiao was coming. Only after receiving Wen Mo's permission did she go out.
At the police station, Wen Mo, having hung up the phone, couldn't help but speed up the process.
He needs to go back for dinner.
"Why is Mr. Wen acting like he's on steroids today?" His subordinates started gossiping about his unusual behavior.
"Maybe he's worried about his family."
Everyone knows who this family member is referring to.
The Wen family.
After the nanny left, Wen Shiyu couldn't wait to drag Lin Xiaoxiao around the house and share her favorite things with her.
When Lin Xiaoxiao put on the expensive jewelry for the nth time, she couldn't hold back anymore and quickly stopped Wen Shiyu.
"Aunt Wen, these things are too valuable, I can't accept them."
Wen Shiyu gave Lin Xiaoxiao everything that she had worn or touched.
"I can't accept a reward without having done anything right," Lin Xiaoxiao thought, her heart trembling as she looked at the several large boxes overflowing with jewelry.
Good heavens, how can we accept this?
They were not related by blood.
Wen Shiyu's lips twitched downwards, and she looked like she was about to burst into tears.
Lin Xiaoxin's heart skipped a beat, and she spoke first, "That trick didn't work, Aunt Wen. The things are too valuable, we really can't accept them."
"I love the flowers in your garden. Could you give me a bouquet when you leave?"
Seeing that she wouldn't give up until she received something, Lin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to settle for second best and ask for her flowers.
Although Wen Shiyu was still somewhat dissatisfied, she wanted to give Lin Xiaoxiao all the good things.
But she also knew that they weren't in a relationship yet, and given Lin Xiaoxiao's personality, she would definitely not accept it.
If she persists, Lin Xiaoxiao might not come next time.
Wen Shiyu had no choice but to reluctantly compromise.
He casually tossed the jewelry into a box; anyone who didn't know better would think it was a counterfeit item from a general store.
In fact, none of the items collected by Wen Shiyu are fake; any one of them could be sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan.
That's incredibly extravagant!
Even if Wen Mo is a police superintendent, he couldn't possibly embezzle this much money.
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little curious.
"Baby, you're not from Gangcheng, are you?" Wen Shiyu led Lin Xiaoxiao to the room, showed her her own photos, and suddenly said this while looking at them.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked into her eyes and did not deny it, "Aunt Wen, you don't look like someone from Hong Kong."
In this place where English and Cantonese are spoken everywhere, Wen Shiyu speaks fluent Mandarin and occasionally throws in a few words of soft Wu dialect.
It's obvious he's not from Gangcheng.
Wen Shiyu smiled and said, "I'm from the mainland."
"I came to the port city a long time ago and have lived here for almost twenty years."
Lin Xiaoxiao listened quietly as she reminisced about the past. After she finished speaking, she said, "Aunt Wen seems to really want to go back to the mainland."
"Yes," Wen Shiyu said softly, "I dream of going back."
His tone was as light as the wind, yet it carried a hint of coldness.
Lin Xiaoxiao's brow twitched slightly. "Perhaps the policy will be relaxed soon, and then we can go back whenever we want."
"That would be perfect." Wen Shiyu sighed.
A closer look at his expression reveals a hint of melancholy.
However, she quickly composed herself, took Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, and asked with a smile, "Would you mind telling me about yourself?"
She wanted to understand her.
"If there is anything inconvenient, you don't have to say it."
She could guess that Lin Xiaoxiao might be engaged in some special industry.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked up and met her expectant eyes. Even though she was over forty, her skin looked like that of someone in their early thirties. Only her eyes were misty, like pearls covered in dust.
After a moment, she spoke, "My name is Lin Xiaoxiao, and I'm twenty years old..."
Wen Shiyu listened attentively, afraid of missing a single word. When she heard that she was twenty years old, she subconsciously tightened her grip on her hand.
"Twenty...when is your birthday?"
Lin Xiaoxiao replied, "October 13th."
On her twentieth birthday, she was on a mission in the United States and didn't even think about this.
Qin Yushen, on the other hand, kept saying that he would give her a proper birthday celebration when she turned twenty-one.
Lin Xiaoxiao felt it was unnecessary. In her memory, this birthday belonged to Lin Wanwan, but she wasn't even sure when she was actually born.
October 13th?
Wen Shiyu loosened her grip slightly. Her delivery date was October 12th, just one day off.
"What's wrong, Aunt Wen?" Lin Xiaoxiao noticed that she was distracted and asked.
Wen Shiyu shook her head. "It's alright, please continue. Last time I heard you say you got married, what's your partner like? Why did your family make you get married so early...?"
She had too many questions, so Lin Xiaoxiao could only explain them to her one by one in order.
She recounted the reasons and circumstances surrounding her marriage to Qin Yushen.
Wen Shiyu clenched her fists again. "So...you're not their biological child?"
