Chapter 37
I Hope You Won’t Bring Up the Past
Li Yanchen looked at his empty cup and furrowed his brows.
“Why are you in a daze? Go get a bowl.” Lin Wan said to Li Yanchen.
[Lin Wan isn’t gentle at all. What’s the big deal about making fruit tea? It’s simple. Anyone can do it.]
[Li Yanchen, you’re a Big Shot in the business world. Be firmer!]
[Don’t drink anymore. Don’t you want to save your face?]
Li Yanchen was merely curious. He stood up and brought the bowl of rice.
[Wow, he really went to get it.]
[I can’t stand it]
[I want to try it too. I want to see what our Xuan likes so much about it.]
[Did Xuanxuan say he liked it?]
“Brother, is it good?” Li Zekai was also curious.
“You’ll know later. ”
The tea was finally poured for everyone. Lin Wan didn’t drink it herself.
Li Yanchen had a complicated expression on his face as he held the bowl in his hands. He was a picky person when it came to food. If the first bite didn’t taste good, he would probably avoid it in the future. He worried about tasting the tea Lin Wan had made. He didn’t want to seem insensitive if it wasn’t good.
However, when he saw his son take another big sip from his cup, Li Yanchen picked up his own cup and took a tentative sip of the tea.
He felt as though his taste buds had opened. He had tasted a lot of famous types of tea: Biluochun, Oolong tea, Pu’er tea, etc. But they all tasted different from what he drank right now. This one had a different aroma. It felt as if it melted in his mouth.
Li Zexin and Li Zekai also took small sips, and then the two children’s heads almost hit the bowl. They licked their lips, savoring the taste.
“Auntie, is there more?” Li Zekai asked.
The other three also wanted to ask the same question.
“No,” Lin Wan replied.
“I’ll go pick some grapes.” Li Zexin didn’t even want to eat the food anymore. He was ready and willing to go pick some grapes.
[Is it really that good? Xuanxuan, can you describe the taste?]
[This woman even knows how to make fruit tea. Why do I feel like the family is just pretending to like it so that they can attract attention?]
[Is Lin Wan trying to clear her name?]
[Impossible, Xuanxuan is definitely not the kind of person who would set up a fake persona.]
[It means it really is good.]
[Didn’t I tell you that fruit tea is very simple? Lin Wan probably brought a tea bag along.]
[I’ve been drinking plain water for three days. If I had only plain water for three days, I would love anything as long as it didn’t taste like water.]
“Where did you buy these tea leaves?” Li Yanchen asked.
“I didn’t. I just used tea bags. That was the last packet, by the way.” Lin Wan was afraid that they would pester her to make tea again, so she lied about it being the last packet.
Li Zexin sighed in disappointment.
[As expected, it was a tea bag.]
[Tsk]
[She is lazy, after all.]
After a whole day of live streaming, the staff turned it off at Seven at night to let the families get some sleep.
After dinner, it was time for Lin Wan to worry again. ‘Are we going to sleep together in the same room?’ she wondered.
Lin Wan hoped that Li Zekai would continue to pester her to sleep in her room but today, he was very obedient. After showering, he returned to his own room.
Yesterday’s ghost story was too scary. Lin Wan regretted telling it.
To avoid an awkward situation, Lin Wan who usually liked to lie down on her bed after showering, made an excuse of sleeplessness and watched the moon in the courtyard, alone.
At ten, she thought that Li Yanchen would have fallen asleep, and tiptoed into her room.
Li Yanchen was sound asleep on the sofa at the end of the bed. That was what Lin Wan had wanted, but she felt a little disappointed not seeing him sleeping on the bed.
‘After returning from such a long business trip, shouldn’t he be cuddling with his new wife?’ thought Lin Wan. She realized that perhaps this relationship wasn’t what it seemed. Maybe it had its own secret.
After being married for half a month, the possibility of a problem in the marriage was relatively small. She recalled that the original owner of her body was mentioned very rarely in the novel. She thought that this marriage had other motives.
Lin Wan couldn’t sleep that night.
The next morning, Li Yanchen woke up early and tidied up the sofa.
This was the fourth day of the live broadcast. They could go home soon. Li Yanchen did not know if he was looking forward to going back home.
Li Zexuan and the other children woke up early as well. This was the first time in seven years that they had gotten to spend so much time with their father.
At five in the morning, the cameras faced the village entrance to welcome the new family.
Song Jing was a little nervous when she entered the village, even though she was prepared to meet Lin Wan.
She had woken up Anan very early in the morning and they had rushed to Lan Village. The girl had fallen asleep on the way. An Yang, her father, carried her.
“Welcome,” greeted the staff and helped them with their luggage to their designated house.
At Seven, the live broadcast started. The families started waking up. They had to gather at nine in the stadium to welcome the new family.
Song Jing had prepared a small gift for each family. It was a small silver building model designed by her husband.
The smell of porridge woke Lin Wan. However, her face was sullen. She did not even greet Li Yanchen.
“The porridge is still hot,” he said. “Eat it before it gets cold.”
Lin Wan did not respond. She picked two peaches, washed them, and ate them for breakfast.
Li Yanchen felt a little awkward. He wondered what was wrong.
[Did Lin Wan and Li Yanchen fight? Li Yanchen was talking to her, but she ignored him.]
[Cold War?]
[Was last night not harmonious?]
[Hahaha, why is your brain filled with dirt early in the morning?]
[Lin Wan went out and didn’t even eat the breakfast that Li Yanchen prepared. They must have quarreled.]
Li Yanchen was given the cold shoulder… Could it be because of today’s substitute family?
Lin Wan went to the orchard and found a shady spot to sit beneath.
In the past few days, Li Yanchen had clearly been very concerned for her. But she wondered why he had slept on the sofa last night. ‘Could it be that he was two-faced like the others too?’ she wondered. She questioned whether he was trying to pretend to be a good husband in front of the camera but behind the camera, this marriage was only a thing for convenience to him.
Now that she had transmigrated in this body, she felt that it was important to clarify everything especially if she had to get along with Li Yanchen.
“What is the reason?” Lin Wan massaged her temples.
Song Jing, who was passing by, happened to hear this.
“Lin Wan?” Song Jing didn’t expect to see Lin Wan so early. It was good that she could meet her alone.
Although Lin Wan did not know Song Jing, she had heard from the director yesterday that there would be a substitute family today. The unfamiliar woman in front of her must be the mother from the substitute family, Qianqian Song Jing.
Knowing that her “old classmate” was coming, Lin Wan had already searched for Song Jing’s photo on the internet. However, the photo had obviously been edited and was very different from the woman in front of her.
“Hello,” said Lin Wan, expressionlessly.
Song Jing realized that Lin Wan looked the same as in the past. She was a little envious that she looked young and slim, while Song Jing lamented gaining almost twenty more pounds after giving birth. ‘How did Lin Wan look like she was still eighteen?’ wondered Song Jing.
“Lin Wan, I hope you won’t bring up the past.”
