Disheartened, Lin Wan returned to Elite Jewelry. Upon observing Lin Wan’s expression, Katie instantly recognized her failure to communicate with the Eastern Empire.
“Wanwan, it’s alright. Let’s consider other options,” Katie consoled Lin Wan.
Lin Wan nodded.
Later in the afternoon, Lin Wan returned home. Her mother had prepared a meal, bringing warmth to Lin Wan’s heart.
As they ate together, Lin Wan said, “Mom, the car I ordered will arrive this weekend. You can drive my new car, and I’ll continue with yours.”
Previously, when she came back from France, she had booked a car online. She had been driving her mother’s car for the past few days and was used to driving it, so she wanted her mother to drive a new car.
Her daughter’s thoughtful gesture touched Qiao Yujuan. “No, Wanwan. You should drive the new car. Once Ranran returns and we’ve settled him into the local kindergarten, you’ll need it to drive him to school. It’ll be more convenient for you.”
Lin Wan pondered but didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she suggested, “We’ll decide when the time comes. Once the new car arrives, you can drive it first.”
Acknowledging her daughter’s determination, Qiao Yujuan reluctantly agreed. Taking advantage of the moment, she cautiously broached another topic, “Wanwan, when Ranran returns, do you plan for him to meet Yichen?”
Lin Wan’s mind exploded at her mother’s question, her gaze fixed on her.
She had contemplated this matter but had yet to decide due to the overwhelming uncertainty.
“Mom, I don’t know,” Lin Wan replied, shaking her head. Tears welled as she continued, “I’ve considered it, and I know Ranran has the right to know who his father is. Yichen also has the right to be aware of Ranran, but I’m afraid… I’m afraid Yichen might take Ranran away from me.”
“Sigh…” Qiao Yujuan sighed in response to her daughter’s words.
Lin Wan added, expressing her fears, “Yichen has another woman. A reconciliation between Yichen and me is impossible. He doesn’t love me; we have no chance. Besides, we’ve been separated for five years. We’re on the verge of obtaining a divorce certificate.”
“If Yichen takes Ranran away, I’ll go mad. Mom, I’ll go mad.” Overwhelmed by emotions, Lin Wan’s agitation caused her tears to fall uncontrollably. She sobbed. “Ranran is my life, my everything. He needs my care and grew up beside me. He can’t leave me.”
“Wanwan, but Yichen is Ranran’s biological father. That’s the undeniable truth,” Qiao Yujuan responded with a touch of reason.
Lin Wan trembled, shaking her head as she speculated, “If Yichen brings Ranran back to Blue Bay villa, he’s too busy to care for Ranran. I worry about letting Bai Lu take care of him. No, I can’t let Yichen take Ranran away!”
Qiao Yujuan offered a wishful perspective, saying, “I hope that when Yichen learns of Ranran’s existence, you can continue raising him. That would be the best outcome.”
Having calmed a bit, Lin Wan stared ahead with determination, declaring, “If Yichen doesn’t agree to let me raise Ranran, I’ll plead with him. I’ll even kneel and endure any torment. I only want Ranran.”
Qiao Yujuan looked at her determined daughter, her heart heavy with unsaid thoughts. Fearful of causing more sadness, she chose to remain silent..
