Marriage First, True Love Later Novel

187 The arrival of parents

Zhou han left after he finished speaking. He didn’t say anything else.

He left in a carefree manner, but Lin Li was a little conflicted. His apology was also open and Frank. If she didn’t accept it, it would seem too pretentious and bashful. If she accepted it, she would feel strange to sit face to face with him while eating noodles in the past.

However, he couldn’t go over now. He was really hungry. He didn’t know what had happened these two days, but his appetite seemed to have improved. Although he still didn’t eat much, it was much better than before. He didn’t feel nauseous and wanted to vomit anymore.

In the end, Lin Li struggled internally, but she was forced to go to the dining room because she was really hungry.

When she went over, Zhou han had already eaten more than half of his food. When he saw her coming over, he raised his eyes and looked at her.

Lin Li was a little embarrassed by his gaze. She pulled out a chair and sat down, explaining somewhat unnaturally, ” “I ... I just don’t want to waste food.”

Zhou han didn’t say anything. He retracted his gaze and continued to eat his noodles. However, the corners of his mouth, which was originally serious, curled up slightly into a beautiful arc.

The next day happened to be the weekend, and Zhou han went straight to the company early in the morning. Lin Li originally wanted to get up early to make lean meat porridge for the little guy. She had even studied the cooking method last night. However, when she took out the rice in the morning and was about to put it into the pot, she realized that there was no lean meat at home at all. Let alone lean meat, there wasn’t even meat at all, except for a few eggs and bread.

However, Lin Li still cooked some porridge. She wanted to beat an egg when the porridge was ready.

When the porridge was almost ready, Lin Li was about to go into the room to see if the little guy had woken up. She gently pushed the door open and went in. It turned out that the little guy had already woken up. He sat on the bed alone and looked at the edge of the bed. He was so focused that he didn’t even notice Lin Li entering.

Lin Li went in and half-squatted in front of him. She chuckled and asked, ” “What’s wrong? What are you looking at?”

Only then did the little guy come back to his senses. Looking at Lin Li in front of him, he only shook his head and turned his head to look down at his hand on the quilt.

Lin Li followed his gaze and took his hand to her palm with a pained expression. She gently stroked it and asked, ” “Does it still hurt?”

The little guy still didn’t say anything and just lowered his head. Upon seeing this, considering the child’s fragility, Lin Li didn’t ask any more questions. She touched his head and said with a chuckle, ” “Come, let’s get up. Auntie will help you put on your clothes.”

The little guy nodded and allowed Lin Li to help him put on his clothes and wash his face before coming out of the room. She fed the child some porridge. The little guy was not picky and ate frangipani with porridge quite happily.

After breakfast, Lin Li was ready to take the child to the supermarket. She planned to buy more ingredients and try to make some delicious food for the little guy at home for the next two days. After helping the little guy put on his coat, she changed her clothes and took her car keys. Just as she was about to leave, the phone in her pocket rang. It was her mother.

Only then did Lin Li remember that she had been so busy these past two days that she had forgotten to call home. She hurriedly pressed the call button and picked up the phone. Hello, mom, it’s Wanwan.

Lin Li was about to explain that she had forgotten to call home for the past two days when mother Lin interrupted her.

“Xiao Li, it’s the weekend. Aren’t you home? I’ve been ringing the doorbell for a long time, but you didn’t respond.” Mother Lin’s slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. Father Lin’s voice also came from beside her.

Lin Li was stunned. She took out her phone and asked, ” “Mom, you and dad came to Jiang city?” she asked.

yeah, he arrived this morning, ” mother Lin said. I wanted to give you a surprise, but you didn’t come out even after I rang the doorbell for a long time. She thought again and asked,”isn’t today Saturday?” You still have to work today?”

Lin Li didn’t tell her parents about her marriage with Zhou han. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell them, but she just wanted to take it slow. After all, she and Zhou han weren’t considered to be in a normal marriage relationship. There were many elements of cooperation, but there was no guarantee how long this cooperation could last. Lin Li planned to tell her parents by the end of the year if she could continue working with Zhou han like this. It would be more convenient to find an excuse then. If she told them now, it was hard to guarantee that her parents would think more about it.

Hence, Mr. And Mrs. Lin had originally wanted to come to Jiangcheng to give their daughter a surprise, but they didn’t know that Lin Li had already gotten married and moved more than twenty days ago. She even stood at the door and rang the doorbell for a long time with the address her daughter had given them. After waiting for more than ten minutes and half an hour, she finally took out her phone and called her daughter.

mom, wait for me there with dad. I’ll go and pick you up now. Lin Li told her mother to wait for her downstairs at the house she had rented before, then she hurriedly hung up the phone and drove over with the little guy.

When father Lin and mother Lin saw their daughter drive to them in a small car, they couldn’t help but be puzzled.

Seeing his daughter get out of the car, father Lin asked in confusion, ” “Xiaoli, what’s wrong with your car?”

Lin Li looked at Xiao bin and then at her parents. Because it was too sudden, she really didn’t think of an explanation at this time, so she could only try to fool them and said, ” “Dad, mom, let’s go back first. I’ll explain to you when we get back.” As she spoke, she opened the trunk, reached out for their luggage, and put it in.

Father Lin and mother Lin thought that it would be hard to talk on the street and downstairs, so they nodded and thought that they would ask him about it when they got back.

Mother Lin opened the door to the back seat first and saw that there was a six or seven-year-old child sitting in the car. She couldn’t help but be taken aback. She turned to look at Lin Li and called out, ” “Xiaoli, why are there children in your car?”

After mother Lin shouted, father Lin also looked over and saw that there was indeed a child sitting in the car. One hand was wrapped in gauze, and the other was holding a toy robot. He also turned to look at his daughter in confusion. yes, Xiao Li. Whose child is this? ”

For a moment, Lin Li felt a headache coming on. She had rushed all the way here, but she hadn’t thought of how to explain to her parents about the car and the child. She only smiled and said, ” “It’s, it’s a friend’s child. Dad, mom, please get in the car first. I’ll tell you later.”

Although father Lin and mother Lin were puzzled, they could only nod and get into the car first.

Father Lin sat in the front, while mother Lin sat in the back with the little guy. The little guy was not surprised by the sudden appearance of two people in the car. He was still playing with the Transformers toy in his hand, but because of the injury on one hand, the movement of the other hand seemed a little clumsy.

Lin Li started the car and left, thinking about how to explain the car and the child later.

Xiaoli, what’s wrong with the child? his hands and face are injured. Mother Lin couldn’t help but ask as she looked at the injuries on the little guy’s body.

Lin Li only smiled. the child was naughty. She accidentally broke it.

“Where are the child’s parents?” Mother Lin asked again. Seeing the wounds on the child’s face and hands, she couldn’t help but sigh softly. how can parents be so careless these days? how could they hurt their child like this? ”

Lin Li smiled and quickly changed the topic. dad, mom, why did you suddenly come to Jiangcheng? ”

Hearing this, mother Lin’s face froze and she secretly looked at father Lin.

it’s nothing, ” father Lin said with a smile. your mother and I miss you. We know that you’re busy at work and can’t find time to come back, so we thought of coming to see you.

Lin Li glanced at her mother in the rearview mirror and naturally saw her strange behavior. She had a bad feeling in her heart and tightened her grip on the steering wheel. “Mom, why aren’t you saying anything?”

Mother Lin was taken aback. She laughed dryly and said, ” yes, yes. Your father and I missed you, so we came.

Upon hearing this, Lin Li didn’t say anything. She just held the steering wheel tightly, her eyes fixed on the front.

Father Lin and mother Lin seemed to be deliberately hiding something. Seeing that their daughter wasn’t speaking, they didn’t speak either, afraid that their daughter would find out if they revealed it.

The atmosphere in the car was so silent that it was a little strange. Even Zhou Jiabin, who was sitting on the side and playing with the Transformers toy in his hand, vaguely felt something and looked up at them. However, because he was a child who didn’t like to talk much, he didn’t say anything and just lowered his head and continued playing with the toy in his hand.

The car slowly stopped at the red light. Lin Li, who had been silent for a while, slowly said, ” “Dad, is there something wrong with your body again?”

Father Lin, who was sitting at the side, was stunned for a while. He laughed dryly and shook his head. no, no. Father’s health is great. We really missed you, so we came to see you.

Lin Li turned her head to look at him and said firmly, ” “Dad, when you lie to us, your hands will always grab onto your pants tightly.” As he spoke, he looked down and saw his father’s hands clutching his pants.

Only then did father Lin come to his senses. He quickly let go of his hand and looked at his daughter with a dry smile. no, nothing, nothing ...

“AI.” Mother Lin sighed in the back seat and said, ” elder Lin, we can’t lie to Xiao Li. If something really happened to you, we wouldn’t be busy with Xiao Li. Xiao Li, your father’s illness might have relapsed again, so we came to Jiang city to have a thorough examination.

Upon hearing this, Lin Li turned her head and looked at her father. dad, how could you hide such a big thing from me! As she spoke, her eyes turned red. She was afraid and worried!

Seeing his daughter’s Red eyes, father Lin looked at mother Lin resentfully, then quickly explained, ” actually, actually, it’s nothing much. The weather has suddenly turned cold recently. I might have caught a cold, so my cough hasn’t gotten better. It’s just that your mother is very suspicious and worried, so she insisted on coming over for a checkup.

Lin Li didn’t want to listen to his explanation. When the red light turned green, she started the car and said, ” “Let’s go to the hospital now!”
