Chapter 323: Mommy, Are You Crying?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Wan yearned for her son tonight, possibly due to the conversation she had with her mother. After confirming the time difference and ensuring Lu Hao had brought their child home from kindergarten, she promptly dialed Lu Hao’s number.
“Hello, Wanwan.” Lu Hao answered the call.
“Lu Hao, is Ranran there? I want to talk to him,” Lin Wan hurriedly inquired.
“Yes, we just got home. Hold on a moment.” Lu Hao passed the phone to the little one beside him.
Lin Xiaoran took the phone and exclaimed, “Lin Wan, I missed you so much.”
Hearing her son’s innocent voice, Lin Wan’s heart swelled with excitement and courage. Her eyes teared up once again. “Ranran, Mommy misses you too. I miss you very, very much.”
“Yes, today, the school organized a parent-child event with games. Other students had Daddy and Mommy there, but I only had Daddy Lu. We didn’t get first place; we ended up in fifth.” There was a hint of disappointment in Lin Xiaoran’s voice. Typically, he excelled in his studies and other activities. Be it crafting, singing competitions, or the like, he was accustomed to clinching first place. However, this time…
“Ranran, I let you down,” Lin Wan held back her tears as she spoke to her son.
“Mommy, don’t say that. I’m not blaming you,” Lin Xiaoran quickly reassured her. Whenever he called his mommy, he strongly desired to confide in her. “I just think it would be great if you were here. I’d be as happy as the other students with you and Daddy Lu.”
This time, Lin Wan could no longer restrain her tears.
The burden of not providing her son with a complete family had always weighed heavily on her. Despite Lin Xiaoran’s maturity and infrequent mentions of his biological father, Lin Wan knew he longed for it.
Lu Hao’s love, although sincere, had its limitations. Even if he poured everything into it, it might not fulfill his son’s desire.
“Mommy, are you crying?” Lin Xiaoran noticed his mommy’s tears and began to cry, too. “Mommy, don’t cry. If you cry, I’ll cry too.”
“Alright, sweetheart. I won’t cry. Don’t cry,” Lin Wan immediately consoled him upon hearing his sobs.
Afterward, Lin Wan engaged in a joyful conversation with her son, uplifting their moods. Only then could Lin Wan finally end the call with relief.
The next day, Lin Wan immersed herself in work throughout the day. After collaborating with Katie, she explored potential partnerships with relevant companies such as advertising and modeling agencies. If these companies required jewelry rentals, Elite Jewelry could assist.
“Lin Wan, let’s visit these companies starting tomorrow for preliminary discussions. Let’s temporarily set aside the mall matter. Once Bernard arrives from France, we can explore if he has a solution,” Katie suggested.
“Agreed, that’s the plan. Tomorrow, we’ll work hard on it,” Lin Wan affirmed.
Katie signaled her approval with an OK gesture.
After work, Katie and Sally invited Lin Wan to experience renowned delicacies in Ancheng City. After notifying her mother, Lin Wan joined them for a meal at a prestigious restaurant.
Meanwhile, at the East Mansion, Xiao Yichen remained busy in his office after work. Not because he was working overtime but because he was waiting for someone.
Bai Lu, clad in ten-centimeter high heels, rode the elevator to the top floor of the East Mansion and walked directly to Xiao Yichen’s office..
