Shan Lin had a dark face after entering the house.
"I will take Ling Sheng away tomorrow. You and Ling Bao can go next door to eat hot pot."
"That's not good," Ling Yanhua said with a straight face, "I agreed to be a family of four..."
"Who is a family of four with you," Shan Lin asked back, "I never agreed from the beginning to the end, I..."
"Mom!" Ling Sheng interrupted her suddenly. He was serious and a little angry, "Stop talking."
Only then did Shan Lin realize that little Lingbao was hiding half of her body behind Ling Sheng, looking at her timidly with her wet, waxy black eyes.
"Aunt Shan, did Lingbao get into trouble?" Little Lingbao asked pitifully.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Shan. Ling Bao didn't know you would be angry. It's because Ling Bao is ignorant..."
As Xiao Lingbao spoke, his eyes became moist and his long eyelashes drooped.
"Ling Bao will never talk nonsense again..."
Shan Lin: "I..."
Only then did she realize that she had just lost her temper and might have hurt little Lingbao.
"Ling Bao has never had a mother since he was born, and he doesn't know where his father is." Ling Yanhua looked at Shan Lin and stated calmly, "You may not imagine how much she envies Ling Sheng."
"I, Ling Bao, I'm sorry, aunt doesn't know..." Shan Lin felt very guilty.
She went to hold Ling Bao's hand and said, "Ling Bao likes to call me mommy, so just call me mommy. Aunt Shan will also treat Ling Bao like her own baby."
"Really?" Ling Bao's eyes sparkled again.
"Yes," Shan Lin touched Ling Bao's hair gently, "You are Ling Sheng's sister and my baby."
"That's great!" Xiao Lingbao was happy, "Then can I continue to call you mommy?"
After she finished speaking, she pinched her little finger carefully, "One day, one day will be enough..."
"Okay," Shan Lin nodded, "Ling Bao can call me mommy today."
"Can we also ask Uncle Shuihua to compete?" Xiao Lingbao asked cautiously again.
Ling Yanhua's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
Unexpectedly, Shan Lin agreed without thinking: "Yes, Ling Bao can call him whatever he wants."
"That's great! Brother!" Little Lingbao turned around and walked around in circles holding hands with Ling Sheng.
"Yes, our family of four can go have hot pot!" Ling Sheng, a seven-year-old child, jumped with the four-year-old Ling Bao.
The next day, Ling Yanhua took little Ling Bao and several large bags of vegetables to Shan Lin's house again.
Shan Lin dressed up a little. She is very beautiful, but her hair loss has been a bit severe during the years she was hospitalized. Today she curled her hair and made it fluffy. She looks very intellectual and gentle.
Ling Yanhua was slightly startled.
Shan Lin is indeed different from what I remember.
But now, she seems to be even more charming than then.
The "family of four" knocked on the door of the aunt's house next door.
"Welcome, welcome!" Looking at the well-dressed new neighbor's family, the aunt was also very happy, feeling that it was a great honor for herself, "Oh, come on, come here, what kind of food can you bring!"
Ling Yanhua not only brought vegetables, but little Lingbao also brought a fruit basket, which contained her favorite fruits, including mangosteens, lychees, grapes, and blueberries...
"Mother-in-law, I wish you happiness and good health." Xiao Lingbao was wearing a little red dress today and black leather shoes on her feet, like a little red riding hood.
"Oh, cute baby, you are happy too." The aunt smiled from ear to ear.
The apartment where Shan Lin currently lives was given to her temporarily by Ling Yanhua in the name of Ling Sheng.
It is considered an internet celebrity apartment in the Imperial Capital.
As soon as the aunt sat down, she began to report her family background.
Her son works in the imperial capital and is considered a middle-level company. He got married a few months ago and his wife is pregnant. She was originally going to let her take care of the child.
The aunt said that it was okay to take care of the children, but she didn't want to live with the young couple to avoid any conflicts.
So her son bought her a small apartment here, which was close yet separated.
After telling her family gossip, she looked at Ling Yanhua and Shan Lin in front of her with shining eyes:
"What about you? You came to the Imperial Capital for work, right? Two bedrooms and one living room are enough for you, right?"
Several families here have two bedrooms and one living room.
Auntie has only been here for a month and she understands everything clearly.
Ling Yanhua: "...that's enough."
"That's right," the aunt said a lot. "The children are still young and can live in one room. But you have to make long-term plans. After all, they are boys and girls. If you are older, you have to avoid suspicion."
"Ahem..." Shan Lin was so cautious that he kept drinking water, and almost choked when he heard this.
"Mommy, eat vegetables." Xiao Lingbao thoughtfully served Shan Lin some vegetables.
Shan Lin didn't even look at it, he picked it up and put it in his mouth.
As a result, there was a big piece of chili in the dipping sauce, which was brought to the dish and chewed together...
"Cough, cough, cough!" Shan Lin has been eating lightly during the years he has been in the sanatorium. He hasn't eaten anything with strong flavor for a long time, and he was panting from the spicy food.
"Are you okay?" Ling Yanhua was obviously panicked.
While he was hurriedly putting paper towels on Shan Lin, he picked up the beer next to him and said, "Just drink something cold. Just drink something cold."
Shan Lin took several big sips before finally tasting something fishy.
"What did you give me to drink?" She looked clearly at the beer can in front of her.
Ling Yanhua: "My...beer?"
Auntie prepared it and said it went best with hot pot. He didn't like it and didn't drink it.
Shan Lin stared in anger.
Her drinking capacity is extremely poor, and she is the kind of person who drinks one glass at a time.
Moreover, he drank what he drank...
Why is Ling Yanhua so annoying?
Did he do it on purpose?
"Oh, daddy, you made mommy angry." Ling Sheng also followed little Lingbao and called daddy, mommy.
Little Lingbao sighed: "Daddy is stupid."
God knows how hard the baby works. If Uncle Shuihua still can’t keep his third aunt, he will be a huge fool!
Ling Yanhua felt a little panicked and blurted out: "You're not so stingy, are you?"
Shan Lin: "..."
Why was she so infatuated with a straight man like Ling Yanhua in the first place?
She pushed the beer can directly and said impatiently: "Get it away!"
Who knew that by accident, my hand touched the dish, and it fell over with a bang.
The brand new skirt was immediately splashed with oil...
Ling Yanhua stopped his hand: "What you encountered yourself has nothing to do with me."
Shan Lin: "..."
Xiao Lingbao: "..."
Shan Lin stood up with a bad look on his face: "I'll go back and change some clothes."
Who would have known that his center of gravity would be unstable and he would fall directly into Ling Yanhua's arms...
