Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lin Ziqian had always been able to lie down and never do anything. He wished that he had eight servants by his side to serve him. He wanted to be treated like an emperor at all times! It was completely different from his current attentive manner. Wu Man could not help but raise her guard, afraid that he would start acting up in the next second.

While she was in a daze, Mother Wu patted her hand. While Lin Ziqian was washing the mop in the bathroom, she whispered to her, “Did something happen between the two of you?”

Wu Man came to her senses. Her parents had seen Lin Ziqian’s unusual behavior, so it would be strange if they didn’t suspect anything.

“Nothing, it’s just like that.” Wu Man paused and forced herself not to think about what had happened in the morning. She grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds on the table and started to eat them.

“Xiao Lin is really diligent. When he came to do housework, he wouldn’t let us help him even if we wanted to,” Father Wu said at the right time. He shook the newspaper in his hand. “Sigh, I’m getting old. I can’t be of much help now.”

Wu Man’s scalp went numb when she heard that. What was wrong with Lin Ziqian? He could actually do such a shocking thing in history. Obviously, her parents knew about Lin Ziqian, but her father still deliberately praised him. It was obvious that he sensed that there was a problem between the two of them.

“If you have any problems when you’re out, you can tell mom. Don’t hold it in…” After listening to her parents’ nagging, the topic always turned to Lin Ziqian, whether intentionally or unintentionally; it was obvious that she felt uneasy about Lin Ziqian’s actions.

“Dad, Mom, you don’t have to worry. I’m doing pretty well outside.” No matter what they asked, Wu Man would always report the good news and not the bad.

When Lin Ziqian appeared in the living room once again, Wu Man almost chewed the melon seed rind and swallowed it. She suddenly had an indescribable feeling. It was the kind of hypocrisy and wretchedness that she felt when she knew that he already had a mistress outside; it was a hypocritical and perverted feeling.

It was not that she did not understand her parents’ intention of beating around the bush just now. She just felt that her parents were old, and she should not trouble the elders with her relationship issues. She did not want her parents to worry about her feelings. Facing their problems, she could only grit her teeth and say that she was living well. Who did not want to have a safe haven? However, her parents had already worked hard for most of their lives. She did not want to break the old couple’s peace.

When Lin Ziqian finished his chores, it was already time for dinner. Lin Ziqian did not know how to cook, so the task of cooking was still left to Mother Wu. Usually, when Wu Man brought Lin Ziqian back to her parents’ house, Mother Wu would cook. The two old people loved and cared for the two of them from the bottom of their hearts. Unfortunately, Lin Ziqian did not know how to cherish them. Instead, he had a sense of entitlement.

While Mother Wu was cooking, Wu Man was helping out by the side. Plates of steaming delicious dishes were brought to the table. Lin Ziqian had already washed his hands and was sitting at the table chatting with Father Wu. The expression on his face and the one he had during the fierce questioning in the morning were completely different.

“The two of you are always on the move. Eat more.” During the meal, Mother Wu kept putting food into their bowls. Seeing the dishes in their bowls rise up into a high hill, Wu Man was touched.

“Thank you, Mom.” Lin Ziqian’s smile was even brighter than his chrysanthemum.

Wu Man was so disgusted that she almost threw down her chopsticks and left. However, the two of them were still sitting together. Next to her was Lin Ziqian. Wu Man trembled slightly as she held the chopsticks, but there was not a hint of disgust on her face..
