The news of Lin Yitang's pregnancy spread quickly. Old Master Wen, who had gone abroad for recuperation since he realized that he had wronged his grandson, hurriedly called Wen Zeli.
He was so excited that he almost rushed back from Maldives overnight.
Wen Zeli had never had a good attitude towards his father, so he calmly interrupted his rambling, "Just rest and recuperate over there. I heard that Lanting is not short of staff yet."
The old man was old and had a bit more childishness. He blew his beard and glared and said, "Let me see what's wrong with my daughter-in-law. It's none of your business!"
Wen Zeli's attitude didn't change at all because of the old man's tone. He just said indifferently, "No need. You should rest well. I will take care of my wife myself."
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and a tense atmosphere flowed between the two of them.
Mr. Wen was silent for a while, then asked, "Are you still blaming me?"
Wen Zeli's face was calm, and his heart was calm, "I don't blame you."
Before the old man could express his joy, Wen Zeli continued, "The past will no longer affect me. I have learned to look forward."
It's not that he has forgiven, but that he no longer cares. So no matter how much hurt that person has caused him in the past, Wen Zeli can treat the past calmly and objectively.
Old Master Wen's heart felt like it had been doused from top to bottom with a bucket of cold water. Waves of chill ran from his internal organs to his limbs, and the chill took a long time to dissipate.
The old man, who had always been adept at business and was not to be underestimated even at his advanced age, smiled bitterly. He finally realized how much his previous actions had hurt Wen Zeli. He still said unwillingly, "But I just want you to be more humble. You are too strong-willed. If I don't..."
"You're still so self-righteous."
Wen Zeli finally lost his calm demeanor. He chuckled, and it was hard to tell whether it was sarcasm or emotion. "Is Wen Hangxing the same?"
Old Master Wen looked stunned, wanting to defend himself but not knowing where to start, and the atmosphere fell silent again.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."
Wen Zeli didn't want to say more to him, so he hung up the phone after saying this.
Over there, Mr. Wen looked at the hung up phone and closed his eyes. After a while, he asked the housekeeper beside him, "Am I really wrong?"
The usually powerful voice now sounded tired, revealing the owner's confusion and loss.
The housekeeper sighed, thinking of the old man's attitude and methods towards the second young master in the past. He looked at the confused old man at the moment and wondered why bother.
Mr. Wen was still waiting for his answer. The butler had been with him for so many years and knew his temperament. He said carefully, "Master, you already have the answer in your mind, don't you?"
The walnut in Grandpa Wen's hand fell to the ground with a "swish" and broke into pieces on the spot.
"Yeah, I already have the answer."
Old Master Wen leaned back in his chair, the energy on his originally gaunt face vanished, leaving only a gray desolation.
Wen Zeli was completely unaware of his father's decline, and even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. Over the years, he had long learned not to have any expectations of fatherly love.
"What are you doing standing here?"
Lin Yitang was holding a plate of fruit and stuffing it into his mouth non-stop, which made Wen Zeli's heart skip a beat.
"You've eaten too many citrus fruits today. I think you should put them aside for later, okay?"
Wen Zeli asked cautiously.
Since Lin Yitang became pregnant, her appetite has started to grow, and she especially likes to eat sour things. For example, she can eat a whole plate of very sour tangerines like these in an hour. She consumes them very quickly, and if she doesn't exercise restraint, she may not stop.
But perhaps because she was more sensitive during pregnancy, Lin Yitang's emotions fluctuated greatly. If she wasn't careful, she would burst into tears, and the red corners of her eyes made her look pitiful. Everyone in the family couldn't do anything about her and could only hold her carefully, fearing that her mood would be wrong again.
Lin Yitang quickly stuffed the remaining few on the plate into his mouth, which made Wen Zeli feel a pang of pain in his teeth, but there was no expression on Lin Yitang's face. If Wen Zeli had not accidentally picked up one and eaten it before, he would probably have thought that these tangerines had no taste.
"My dear, is it really okay for you to eat like this?"
Wen Zeli glanced at her stomach secretly and felt a headache.
Lin Yitang waved his hand nonchalantly, "There's no problem at all, don't worry."
"Okay, but eating too much of this can easily cause a sore throat, so you should take it easy, okay?"
Wen Zeli had no choice but to compromise, but he still gave careful instructions.
"I understand, Aunt Wen."
Lin Yitang shouted angrily.
Wen Zeli: “…”
His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous look, "You've become much bolder lately."
Seeing this, Lin Yitang covered her stomach and cried out, "Ouch——"
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about you anymore."
Wen Zeli quickly went up to her and took her into his arms, saying with both indulgence and helplessness, "Madame Wen is Madame Wen, whatever makes you happy is fine."
"You've become much gentler."
Seeing that his plan had been discovered, Lin Yitang did not feel embarrassed or angry. He relaxed his body and leaned against Wen Zeli. Suddenly, his eyes fixed, "Are you so nice to me because of the child?"
Wen Zeli held her hand to warm it, and said with a smile in his magnetic voice, "How could that be? In my heart, you are the first."
Lin Yitang didn't buy it. She thought that Wen Zeli had been doting on her more and more since he knew she was pregnant. He would carefully protect her from behind no matter what she did. If he was busy, he would send someone to take good care of her. It must be because of the child.
"I don't believe it."
Lin Yitang looked at him suspiciously, not missing any change in Wen Zeli's eyes.
It was discovered.
Wen Zeli nodded in annoyance, dismissed the other servants and said, "Actually, I'm a little scared."
"What?"
Lin Yitang was stunned. He didn't expect this answer.
"After you became pregnant, I looked up relevant information. Carrying a child is very harmful to the mother's body. I don't want your health to be damaged in the slightest because of this child."
Lin Yitang stared blankly at the man in front of him, his gaze falling on his angular jaw, then gradually moving upwards, finally looking into those eyes that were always calm and indifferent, and saw that the originally barren land had become bright.
When did it start? Perhaps it had started a long time ago, but this was the first time Lin Yitang noticed it so clearly.
Lin Yitang looked away shyly, only to hear Wen Zeli continue, "Actually, I originally thought about not having this child. I won't allow you to have even the slightest accident, but forcing an abortion at this stage would be very harmful to your body."
