Lin’s mother finally returned.
The nineteen-year-long sham marriage had come to an end, with both parties, without exception, failures in their own right…….
This family, broken from the very beginning, had only one valuable asset left—the county house with a nearly paid-off mortgage.
Without any hesitation, Lin’s mother gave up half of the property rights, demanding that Lin’s father cover the mortgage payments accumulated over the years.
Lin’s father had no choice but to agree….
Otherwise, to divide the assets, they would have to sell the house, which was absolutely unacceptable to him!
After all these years, they had finally managed to clear the debts and buy the house.
How could Lin’s father give it up so easily?
Lin’s mother didn’t know how Lin’s father had managed to gather the money in such a short time to pay her, nor did she want to know.
This family was over— or rather, it should have ended long ago………
After all the wasted years, thankfully it wasn’t too late to get what was rightfully hers.
Though many things could never be retrieved……
It was the Nongli Chujiu, more than twenty days away from Chuxi.
After settling these matters, Lin’s mother didn’t stay home but went back to the town to find a new job.
Before, she had no real goal, just drifting through life, but ever since her relationship with Lin Xinyuan seemed to normalize, things had started to change.
She decided to begin by saving a dowry for Lin Xinyuan………
Although Lin’s mother had heard from Lin Xinyuan that she had no interest in romance, who knows?
People always change, so it wouldn’t hurt to be prepared…
Lin Xinyuan, of course, was unaware of her mother’s thoughts.
In the afternoon, having finished her writing work for the day, she chose not to rest but instead lay on her bed playing a game online with Qin Nanfeng.
“Hey, you came here to loot my stuff! W”
“Damn, this guy’s so fat! He’s on fire!”
“No way, you can snipe me from that far?”
“Ah! I spent so long looting and got treated like a delivery package!”
“……”
M
The girl’s murmurs echoed in her ear non-stop, but Qin Nanfeng didn’t mind.
“No problem, I’ll avenge you.”
Qin Nanfeng’s voice was clear and refreshing, like a gentle spring breeze, making people feel comfortable.
Maybe that was one of the stinky blonde’s biggest charms with the girls?
EB…
What a schemer!
Watching Qin Nanfeng’s perspective, Lin Xinyuan’s little schemes stirred inside her as she quietly grumbled.
She admitted that the stinky blonde’s voice was indeed pleasant, but it inevitably made her think of Qin Nanfeng’s ex-girlfriends……….
“Come on, beat that guy! Qin Bro is the coolest!”
“Qin Bro’s awesome!”
Lin Xinyuan cheered on with praise constantly spilling out.
Yet her little face showed disdain mixed with slight annoyance, a complicated expression.
Since the stinky blonde couldn’t see her face through the screen, she dared to be so unrestrained!
Only when Qin Nanfeng was around could Lin Xinyuan be so relaxed— something even her mother couldn’t do.
When she saw Qin Nanfeng’s 98k take out a person hiding in a building, the girl immediately cheered, filling the large room with her light laughter.
“Told you not to mess with me, now you’re dead, huh?”
Lin Xinyuan’s eyebrows relaxed, her tone cheerful as if she had personally eliminated the target.
Qin Nanfeng couldn’t see her expression but could feel her joy.
He chuckled softly.
Could he not say it? No wonder she’s like this.
If he called her a kid, she probably wouldn’t be happy…………
But this time, she didn’t call him “stinky blonde,” instead addressing him as “Qin Bro”…………
Would it be better if she added some repetition later on?
Qin Nanfeng smiled with narrowed eyes, like a smiling tiger.
Lin Xinyuan kept focusing on the stinky blonde and soon noticed his laugh.
She always felt like he was laughing at her?
“Hey, stinky blonde, what are you laughing at?”
The girl puffed up her cheeks like a pufferfish, completely unaware of how feminine her behavior was.
Oh, just said that! Changing expressions so fast?
Qin Nanfeng sighed and retorted, “I’m avenging you, isn’t that something to be happy about?”
“Yeah, I’m happy… but shouldn’t I be the one happy? Why are you laughing?”
Lin Xinyuan looked a little hopeful for the stinky blonde’s answer, her face leaning closer to the phone as if trying to catch every word he said next.
“Don’t you think helping a friend is a joyful thing?” Qin Nanfeng planned to keep teasing her on voice chat, “And if I don’t laugh, should I cry? Want me to cry for you now?”
He took a breath, as if preparing to get emotional.
“Alright, alright! I believe you!”
Lin Xinyuan hurriedly stopped Qin Nanfeng, feeling chills just imagining that scene.
It felt like a farewell……
The girl rubbed her head, thinking for a moment, and agreed with his words, softening her tone: “You’re right, it really is like that……”
“But this game is so boring! It’s not as good as Crossfire… uh, I mean Fireline…”
Lin Xinyuan pouted, annoyed after being ambushed several times in a row.
Plus, she wasn’t very used to mobile games at the moment.
“If we’re not playing games, how about chatting for a bit? But I have to go out later, so I don’t have much time.”
“Oh…” Lin Xinyuan responded blankly, wanting to ask where the stinky blonde was going, when he would come to Tianbei.
But she couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud—that would be too embarrassing!
Ridiculous…….
Yet, as if he guessed her thoughts, Qin Nanfeng kept playing his character, looting while chatting.
His tone was meaningful: “Hey, haven’t you missed me all this time?”
Lin Xinyuan blinked slowly, then immediately widened her eyes.
“You? What nonsense are you talking about?”
Her soft voice instantly took on a hint of shyness and indignation, looking ready to explode: “Who the hell wants to miss you? Do you think you’re Caishenye or something?”
“Oh, sorry… wrong words…” Qin Nanfeng laughed even more, “Let me put it another way? I’m just saying I’m almost done with what I’m doing.”
Hearing this, Lin Xinyuan was a little happy but didn’t want to show it.
She put down her phone and hummed, “So? What does that have to do with me?”
Though she said that, the expectant look on her face was hard to hide.
But Qin Nanfeng didn’t like to play by the rules: “Yeah, I’m just telling you, once I finish this, I’m heading back to Tianbei.”
Lin Xinyuan fell silent, her expression instantly stiffened.
After a while, she bit her lip, about to say something but stopped.
“Hmm……”
Reason told her not to try to keep the stinky blonde here; otherwise, he would surely tease her mercilessly afterward……..
The atmosphere fell silent.
Qin Nanfeng wasn’t impatient—he simply waited quietly, sipping water leisurely as if nothing had happened.
Lin Xinyuan was sulking, her fair cheeks puffed up like steamed buns.
He came to see her, yet so easily forgot?
Typical stinky blonde…
Untrustworthy, fickle…
Stinky scumbag!
Hmph!
Just as Lin Xinyuan kept cursing the stinky blonde in her heart, the stinky blonde himself seemed to sense the moment was right and smiled with narrowed eyes.
“Just kidding earlier. I came to Zhannan definitely to see my little Yuan! Right?”
His words were ambiguous, but Lin Xinyuan only caught most of it, missing the details in Qin Nanfeng’s tone.
Her gloomy mood instantly lifted, rising sharply, though she still feigned calm: “Oh, whatever you say.”
That’s more like it! Otherwise… I won’t want to talk to you anymore!
Really, really
Absolutely no lies!
