Chapter 415: 420 Bomb Attack3_1

Lin Haoran took this opportunity to reiterate his view. "Right, I have read a report on twins which says that generally, younger brothers or sisters are born first, because they are the ones being pressed down. Older siblings, brothers or sisters, usually take longer to be born because they are on top. So according to this theory, I should be the elder brother!"

Qin Yutong, who had been nervously fidgeting, suddenly sat upright, determined to defend her status. "That’s not it! Don’t even think about usurping my position, I am the elder sister, there’s no other reasons for that!"

Lin Haoran closed his mouth feeling wronged and looked at Qin Yutong with a pitiful gaze.

"If you want to be an elder brother, you’ll have to wait until Mom gives you another younger brother or sister. That’s the only way for you to get promoted. Don’t run wild with your fantasies for there’s no other way around this!" Qin Yutong firmly stated, staring at her brother with a stern gaze usually reserved for teachers reprimanding students.

"So, I have to always be the younger brother? Can’t I at least think about it? Besides, I didn’t insist that I wanted to be the older brother; I just wanted to express my thoughts. There’s nothing wrong with a younger brother protecting his older sister. As long as you understand this, it’s all good!" Lin Haoran said in a tiny voice.

Qin Yutong felt a pang of guilt for having wrongfully suspected his intentions and sheepishly pouted her red lips.

Keeping up her dignity, she conceded. "Well, grasping this point is good enough!"

Feeling wronged, Lin Haoran snuggled into his mother’s arms again, rubbing his head against her chest.

His mother’s chest was soft and was his favorite resting spot when he was a child. Whenever he felt uneasy, he loved lying in his mother’s embrace, smelling the scent of her milk.

In this way, he felt safe, even when afraid.

This time, it was the same for Lin Haoran.

In truth, if he could, he would have loved to touch her with his little hands, just like when he was a toddler, feeling the softness of his mother’s body.

But his mother said that he had grown up and couldn’t touch her anymore.

So now, all he could do was rub his head against her chest.

Lin Xiangwan understood her son’s desires and knew that he just wanted to find a way to feel safe. Hence, she didn’t reprimand him. "Ranran, don’t be afraid!"

While burying himself in his mother’s embrace, Lin Haoran, despite facing adversity, stubbornly said. "Mom, I am not a little girl, I am not afraid!"

"Mm..."

"Mom, why don’t you give me a little brother or sister? That way, I can be an older brother and won’t always be bullied by my sister." Lin Haoran pleaded.

Lin Xiangwan was visibly flustered. She too wanted another child, but Qin Muchuan was opposed to the idea. How could she have a child on her own? "Ahem, isn’t having a sister just the same?"

"It’s not the same! Isn’t it? I’m my sister’s soldier, but I don’t have a younger brother or sister, so I don’t have any subordinate soldiers!" Lin Haoran stated seriously.

Pondering over her son’s words, Lin Xiangwan finally understood what was troubling him. He felt helpless because he didn’t have anyone to command?

No wonder he wanted to be an older brother.

"Hehe..." Lin Xiangwan suddenly laughed. "How about our family adopts some puppies or kittens? This way, you can have some soldiers of your own!"

Qin Yutong’s eyes widened with delight. "Adopting a puppy sounds great. Grandma already has a Shar-Pei. We all love it!"

Mentioning a dog, Lin Haoran still felt a lingering fright; He didn’t like it.

"I don’t want to adopt any! I don’t want to!"

"Hehe..." Lin Xiangwan started laughing again.

Aunt Liu also started laughing along. "These two kids are such treasures! It’s a great fortune to have two such adorable children!"

The fearful atmosphere considerably lightened due to the children’s bickering.

Relieved, Lin Xiangwan reassured herself that perhaps everything was just an uncanny coincidence. Things shouldn’t be that dire, right?

......

After entering the hotel, Qin Muchuan had been incessantly making phone calls in another room.

Smoke from the cigarette he held between his fingers filled the room, the thin smoke wafting from his lips.

Having put the kids to bed, Lin Xiangwan knocked on his door and walked in upon turning the doorknob.

The choking smoke hit her immediately, clouding the room and stinging her eyes to the point where tears began to flow. "Cough...Cough..."

The man sitting on the sofa promptly opened the window upon seeing her. "Why are you here? Why aren’t you sleeping!"

"Cough... Cough..." After several bouts of coughing, Lin Xiangwan found her breath again. "You didn’t come to the room, so I was worried about you!"

"Hehe, there’s nothing to worry about. I’m just thinking about a few things!" Qin Muchuan said with a smile.

"About what?"

The outside air began to filter into the room, slowly replacing the air filled with smoke. Once the smell of smoke had lessened, Lin Xiangwan finally felt somewhat comfortable.

Qin Muchuan frowned at first, but then smiled faintly. "I’ve been wondering, over all these years, who have I offended, who wants me dead?"

Lin Xiangwan’s heart clenched anxiously. "Did you figure out who it is? Who’s got a vendetta against you?"

Qin Muchuan shook his head. "I still have no clue."

Lin Xiangwan didn’t feel reassured by his words. Instead, she looked at him even more worriedly. ""If you knew who was framing you, it might be easier to deal with. The most dreadful thing is not knowing who you’ve offended. Or, perhaps you’ve offended too many people, and can’t find the culprit!"

He patted her shoulder and hugged her apologetically. "Darling, I am sorry, it’s all my fault..."

Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "I don’t blame you! I’m just worried about you!"

"Hehe..." Qin Muchuan suddenly laughed. "The police called just now. They said that this was likely to be a random incident!"

"What?" Lin Xiangwan pushed him away, staring at him in surprise. "Are you serious?"

"Mm-hmm!"

She stared intently at him, studying his expression, trying to ascertain the truth from his face—

His smile was relaxed, his eyes shining with an intriguing light. She could even see in them...a desire.

Blushing suddenly, Lin Xiangwan took a step back.

Even in the face of terror, when their lives hung by a thread, he still harbored such desires. Could this mean that what he had just said was true?

She quietly breathed a sigh of relief. "Then, what kind of coincidence caused a bomb to arrive at our house?"

Qin Muchuan pulled her onto the sofa, asking her to lean against his shoulder.

Lin Xiangwan politely nestled against his neck, very much like a bird next to a person.
