Chapter 819 Even the Children Have Them

A clear voice came from under the covers, mumbling, "I'm asleep."His obvious avoidance only angered Fu Mochen. They had been intimate and open with each other countless times.This woman still needs to...The door creaked open, and a deep, masculine voice boomed, "Mom, I'm here."

"Grandma Li called out excitedly, like a child, "Come here quickly, I made macarons!"

Lin Jin's gaze shifted as a middle-aged man in casual gray clothing strode towards them. The man was around forty years old, with a tall and straight figure and piercing eyes. Just from his aura, one could tell he was a leader of some sort.

He noticed with startling speed that besides his mother, there was also a woman wearing a Kawaii apron and counting her braids in a simple ponytail. The moment his gaze landed on the woman's pure face, he gasped, his eyes widening in surprise.

"You"

Three steps at a time, he charged toward Lin Jinran, his eyes wide with disbelief.

As the forest came alive with autumn colors, Lin Jinran raised a faint smile and greeted them, "Hello."

Hearing her polite, distant greeting, Zhan turned back to his senses, realizing it wasn't her.

The woman before me was no more than in her twenties. How could she possibly be her

In a moment, the surprise in his eyes gradually faded. He collected himself, reached out to Lin Jinyan's face, and smiled, "Are you Miss Lin"

Lin Jinran was slightly surprised, “You know me”

"My mother has mentioned you," Zhan Gu smiled politely, gentlemanly releasing his grip on Lin Jin Ran's hand.

Grandma Li came over and presented a macaron to Zhan Gu, saying with pride, "This is my son, Zhan Gu. Look, Zhan Gu, how did I do"

"Well, that's good." Zhan Gu smiled, his eyes falling on the things on the table. He asked without a hint of surprise, "Since you guys are preparing food, could I join in for one"

"Sure."

Grandma Li readily agreed.

Lin Jinyan naturally couldn't say anything else, he could only glance curiously at Zhàn Gù. It was truly hard to imagine that someone like Zhàn Gù, who seemed so successful just by looking at him, would actually be able to sit down and spend time with his mother. That was truly remarkable.

After the three took their seats, Grandma Li asked Zhan Gu some questions. Zhan Gu answered them one by one. Grandma Li listened with her eyes closed. Lin Jinran, on the other hand, couldn't get a word in edgewise. Looking at the conversation between the mother and son, she felt envious beyond measure. She wished her mother was still alive.

When she was daydreaming, a voice called out from beside her, "Miss Lin, what's wrong"

Lin Jinran looked up at Zhan Gu, who was watching him with concern, and smiled sheepishly. "It's nothing."

"Oh, I feel so guilty. How could I forget that you're pregnant and shouldn't be doing too much"

"No, I haven't done anything for you either." Lin Jinfan didn't want to say too much about his mother, so he simply brushed it off.

Grandma Li and Zhan Gu didn't probe any further, occasionally asking Lin Jinran a few questions, all of which were trivial.

After afternoon tea, Lin Jinran declined to go back to rest. Grandma Li didn't keep him either and watched Lin Jinran leave.

When Lin Jinran's figure disappeared from sight, she turned her head thoughtfully to look at her son and tentatively asked, "What do you think of this girl"

Zhan's keen perception picked up on the probing tone in his mother's words. He withdrew his gaze and calmly replied, "Mom, at my age, I could be his father."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the living room.

Grandma Li followed behind Zhan Gu, mumbling unhappily, "I think this girl is pretty good. She looks a lot like that girl. Now she's living alone, single, and pregnant. You don't need to worry about her at all, she even has a child." eyes, wide with anger, stared blankly at the ground as she lay there lifeless.The surroundings gradually returned to quiet. The white smoke was dispersed by the sea breeze, and the gunfire vanished s...
