Chapter 203: 206 3 busy 3 busy_1

"Recent rumors have spread of domestic violence and sexual abuse surrounding the CEO of Huatai Group. Although the police have not confirmed these allegations, the press has managed to gather some information from security and cleaning staff. The CEO did indeed visit the police station and was interrogated directly by the Bureau Chief. However, it remains unclear whether Qin Muchuan was exonerated and left, or was released on bail... Nevertheless, although these rumors may be unfounded, they have cast a severe blow to Huatai’s image..."

Lin Xiangwan grimaced and turned off the television, curling up alone by the floor-to-ceiling window, staring out into the dark night.

Despite the bright lights in the yard, the fresh, green leaves on the branches looked so forlorn.

The persistent spring wind stirred and only further exacerbated her anxiety.

He still hadn’t come home. He used to pick up their children from school, dine at home, work in his study, chat with her at night, and even seduce her.

But for the past week, things had been different. He either allowed the servants to pick up the children or dropped them off at home before changing his clothes and going out again.

He was nowhere to be seen before midnight. Sometimes he didn’t come home at all, at others, he only returned at one or two in the morning, then went straight to his study.

Let alone any conversations, the number of times they even bumped into each other could be counted on one hand.

Even when they met in the living room in the morning, all he did was glance at her once!

She wanted to explain things to him, but whenever she looked at his indifferent face, the words died on her lips!

Whenever he left, she regretted not being braver.

The vacant room upstairs was being renovated. There were continuous noises during the day, only quieting down at night!

At least it didn’t disturb others’ rest.

But Lin Xiangwan’s heart was still in turmoil, feeling very uncomfortable and restless.

They had just become closer. They had just shared the most intimate of moments. Why did everything change the next day?

Did he truly only want to be her in-name-only husband from now on? Was their relationship just for show in front of their child?

"Mom, Ranran and I have finished our homework. Can you please check it?" Qin Yutong handed their exercise books to their mother.

Lin Xiangwan took them and started examining meticulously!

Qin Yutong and Lin Haoran had already learned a lot. The children were now familiar with more than five hundred Chinese characters, had a firm grasp on Pinyin, and could do three-digit arithmetic without making many mistakes. Lin Haoran made a few mistakes due to carelessness. They were now learning the multiplication table.

The children could sometimes recite the multiplication table, but when she asked them to study it seriously, they made many errors.

Qin Yutong had a similar issue. When Lin Xiangwan pointed at ’6*6’ and asked, "Is six times six equal to thirty?"

Qin Yutong started counting on her fingers. One-times-six is six, two-times-six is twelve, three-times-six is eighteen, four-times-six is twenty-four, five-times-six is thirty, six-times-six...

The little girl shyly lowered her head, answering softly, "I was wrong. It should be thirty-six!"

Lin Xiangwan looked at her, spoke irritably with a grim expression on her face. "You know it’s thirty-six, why did you get it wrong?"

"I made a mistake!" Qin Yutong admitted.

"Mistake, mistake? If you know the answer, why would you make a mistake? This is only practice, but what if this was a real examination? Wouldn’t it be unfair to you if your mistakes were taken for ignorance?"

Seeing her mother’s anger, Qin Yutong’s face displayed a look of apprehension. "I won’t do it again!" she said, her white face filled with fear.

"Again, how many agains do you have? Just because you’re young, you can afford to waste time, right? So you want to waste all your time on mistakes, correct?" Despite her daughter’s apology, Lin Xiangwan showed no signs of forgiveness.

Mistakes are not a trivial matter. If she hadn’t always made mistakes at crucial moments, the situation wouldn’t be like this now, causing Qin Muchuan to misunderstand and even refuse to forgive her.

Qin Yutong lowered her head, her mouth crumpled, and tears flowed down her cheeks. But the little girl was sensible and did not cry out, only silently wiping her tears.

Seeing her daughter so aggrieved, Lin Xiangwan’s anger dissipated, and she even regretted her actions.

How could she vent her anger on her child?

She handed Yutong a piece of tissue paper, and squatting down, gently dried her daughter’s tears. "Will you make a mistake again?"

Qin Yutong shook her head. "No!"

"Whether you’re a boy or a girl, you have to be careful in your work. As long as you know, understand, and can master, you must never make mistakes. A minor fault can cause a thousand mile error. A small mistake may seem irrelevant, but it can potentially cost you a big opportunity! This is my takeaway from life. As a sensible child, I hope you understand my concerns."

"Yes, I understand!" The child obediently nodded.

Seeing his sister being scolded, Lin Haoran felt somewhat relieved. "Ah... it’s good that you’ve been scolded for once too! It’s not always me being lectured, right? The taste of being scolded is also pretty enjoyable, right?"

Qin Yutong shot a disdainful glance at the gloating boy.

Lin Xiangwan too glared at her son. "While I’m scolding her, you should be listening too. You make a ton of mistakes in your work. You should be rechecking all the problems you’ve worked on. Otherwise, if I see a single mistake, I will hit you each time!"

Lin Haoran immediately clutched his butt and jumped. "Oh, mom, you can’t hit me, you can’t hit me!"

"Then behave properly!"

But Lin Haoran had little confidence in his homework skills. Even in twenty problems, he could make at least five mistakes, and five smacks would hurt quite a bit!

"Dad, dad, why isn’t dad home yet!" Lin Haoran subconsciously called out!

The brief smile once again faded from Lin Xiangwan’s face. "Well, he might be busy with work today, so he hasn’t come home yet!"

"But, but recently dad’s always not at home!" Lin Haoran pointed out.

"Yes, because your dad has been very busy lately!"

Qin Yutong also nodded forcefully. "In the past, dad was often not at home. He was busy working, expanding the company, and making money!"

The child said ’busy’ three times in a row!

"Oh..." Lin Haoran said with considerable satisfaction. "So later, I’ll be busy playing, busy making friends and expanding my friend circle, and busy spending money!"
