Chapter 399: Who is the mysterious man in 404? _1

The next day they returned home early in the morning. As it was the weekend, both kids stayed home!

The kids were quite critical of their parents’ behavior the previous evening, expressing dissatisfaction towards their parents for not having returned home and for going out to have fun without them.

Lin Haoran was quite straightforward, and asked sharply, "Why were you both out having a blast while my sister and I were left at home? Do you realize how wrong that was? That’s age discrimination, which is a serious issue. Racism and sexism are continuously being fought against, and here you are introducing age discrimination. This is sure to shock the world. Mom, Dad, aren’t you afraid of being criticized by the international community? Of numerous children rallying and protesting at our front door? Mom, Dad, don’t you think you should consider how to make it up to me and Sis?"

"We’re not practicing age discrimination. I noticed you both have been having fun on your own. I didn’t want to intrude since you don’t seem to enjoy playing with us older folks, which is why we didn’t invitation you. We actually planned to take you out today. However, your tutors are coming over soon. Wouldn’t it be irresponsible to take you out right now?" Lin Xiangwan carefully replied.

The children were growing up, understanding the world around them, and developing their own thoughts and opinions. At this point, it wasn’t advisable to deal with them bluntly, instead, one needed to be considerate in their approach.

Otherwise, they may not verbalize any discontent, but they would certainly harbor it in their hearts.

Gradually, the older the children got, the less they listened to their parents.

"We can call the tutor and ask them not to come today!" Lin Haoran suggested.

Qin Yutong shook her head. "That’s not nice, the tutor might already be on her way!"

"Big sis..." Lin Haoran whined.

Qin Yutong turned to her parents. "Anyway, Mom, Dad, you both owe us one, right? So, how about we go out and play somewhere nearby tomorrow?"

"Hmm..." Lin Xiangwan nodded. "That’s a great suggestion! It won’t disrupt the tutors’ plans, and you guys will get a balance of study and playtime. This proposal is definitely fair!"

"Oh yeah..." Qin Yutong cheered happily.

Lin Haoran was pretty satisfied with the plan and started fantasizing. "Where should we go? The Oceanarium sounds good, playing with water would be refreshing!"

Qin Muchuan frowned, doubting if the trip to the Oceanarium was really a good idea.

As it was getting hotter outside, the Oceanarium was usually crowded. The mere thought of it made his head spin.

Just when he was about to say something,

Qin Yutong quickly argued, "No, it’s too crowded. It’s also unhygienic with kids peeing around. If we want to play in a pool, it’s cleaner to play at home!"

Lin Haoran, always one for adventure and enjoyment, countered, "What’s fun about staying home? There are so few people here. Let’s go out, there will be more people and it will be more fun!"

With a stern look, Qin Yutong rebuked, "I said no and that’s final. Stop with the useless chatter, if you persist, I’m not taking you along. Mom and Dad can just take me and you can stay out of the way!"

Lin Haoran was fuming. "Why? Mom and Dad want to make it up to me too, not just you!"

Qin Yutong grinned with amusement. "Because you’re the little brother and I’m the big sister, you have to listen to me, and that’s that. Do you understand?"

"Haha... haha..." Lin Haoran could only laugh in indignation.

Seeing the amusing antics of their children, Lin Xiangwan and Qin Muchuan shared a laugh.

Especially Lin Xiangwan, she felt genuinely happy and content for having such children.

............

Shen Hanqian sent her a WeChat message around ten in the morning. ’I’m glad you and Qin Muchuan made amends!’

’Mmm, let’s consider it a test from the heavens. I’m willing to accept this test!’ replied Lin Xiangwan, quite serious.

’Mmm, you really don’t have much to worry about, after all, all he has is a sick child. How could that child compare to Tongtong and Ranran, right?’

Shen Hanqian looked around to ensure Qin Muchuan wasn’t near, and then whispered, "Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. Tongtong and Ranran are really great, so Qin Muchuan should treat me better, at least."

’Yes, it’s what we call, ’Mother is valuable by the merit of her children!’’ Shen Hanqian laughed.

’Humph, sooner or later, it’ll be just because of me, not just the kids!’ Lin Xiangwan replied confidently.

Shen Hanqian nonchalantly replied, "Why think so much? Whether it’s because of the children or because of you, as long as he likes you, that’s all that matters!"

’Mmm!’

’Your performance yesterday was impressive! After hearing what happened, I wanted to applaud you!’ Shen Hanqian praised.

The corners of Lin Xiangwan’s mouth stretched towards her ears in a grin. ’Did you already know? Has your husband, Qiao Junnan, returned home yet? Did he spill the beans?’

Shen Hanqian’s voice dropped a notch. ’No, he hasn’t returned home yet. He went straight to the construction site this morning. Xiao Qingcang called me yesterday and we had a chat!’

’Oh...’ Lin Xiangwan didn’t know what else to say about the topic.

There’s no future for the two of them (Shen Hanqian and Xiao Qingcang). Any comment would only add to the troubles.

Shen Hanqian also knew her friend couldn’t say much about the subject, so they chatted about other stuff before ending the call.

...............

"The results of the paternity test?"

The neatly dressed middle-aged man accepted the report handed to him by Zhou Ziqing.

Zhou Ziqing looked at him, "Yes, look at it!"

The man didn’t want to flip through the report and left it beside him, smiling at her. "Why force me to read it? You can just tell me the result!"

Zhou Ziqing squinted, "Isn’t it better for you to check and be certain?"

Despite his unyielding smile, the man’s expression was anything but relaxed underneath.

Zhou Ziqing urged, "You should check it, after all, you’re under no pressure. Qin Muchuan has already acknowledged the child!"

Only then did the man open the test report and read what had been written.

His expression tightened, clearly not at ease.

Zhou Ziqing smiled, "With 77% similarity, what does that tell you? Whose child could it be?"

The man clenched his jaw, his smile disappeared, replaced by a stoic look. "I didn’t study medicine, so I don’t quite understand these terms. If you’re not sure, you could ask a doctor!"

There was a hint of mockery in Zhou Ziqing’s voice. "I know very well..."
