Marriage First, True Love Later



231 065 moving out of the master bedroom

When Zhou han came back at night, it was already very late. Lin Li wasn’t in the room, so she didn’t think much and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

When Zhou han came out of the bathroom with a towel to dry his hair, Lin Li had already returned. However, what was a little different from the past was that at this moment, she was walking towards the door with a quilt in her arms.

He frowned as he grabbed the towel and asked, ” “What are you doing?”

Lin Li turned around and saw Zhou han standing at the bathroom door with only a bath towel wrapped around him. She subconsciously turned her head away and said, ” “I’ll sleep in Xiao bin’s room tonight. The little guy’s been emotionally unstable for the past two days. He always wakes up crying at night, so I’m worried.”

Zhou han looked at her and frowned even more, but he didn’t say anything.

After waiting for a while, seeing that he didn’t have any intention of speaking, Lin Li didn’t say anything more and directly went out with the quilt.

In the children’s room, when the little guy saw Lin Li coming over, he hurriedly moved Lin Li away, leaving more than half of his small bed open. He shrank in the innermost area, trying to make more space for Lin Li, deeply afraid that she would change her mind because his bed was too small.

Lin Li put down the quilt and touched the little guy’s head with heartache. She smiled and said, ” “If you move again, you’ll be against the wall. Xiao bin, do you want to sleep against the wall at night?”

The little guy blinked his big black eyes and said in a low voice, ” “I’m afraid that Auntie won’t be able to sleep well.”

Lin Li’s heart felt warm, and she felt that this child was too pitiful. She touched his face and said, ” “No, Xiaobin is so considerate. Auntie won’t have a bad sleep.”

The little guy stared at her for a while before his lips curved into a smile.

Outside the door, Zhou han slowly retracted his hand that was on the doorknob. He stood at the door for a while before turning around and returning to the master bedroom.

Lin Li only found out the next day that Zhou han had held a press conference when he went to the company the afternoon before. He answered the questions regarding the speculations on Xiao bin’s identity in the previous post, personally admitting to the public that he had been married to Ling LAN before, admitting that he had been too busy with his career, causing the two of them to be emotionally distant. He didn’t want to talk too much about his ex-wife’s private life, only emphasizing that the reason he held this press conference was to clarify one point to everyone. That was that Xiao bin was his son, his biological son. In addition, he even released the DNA report on the spot, which clearly stated that he and Xiao bin were father and son.

Lin Li looked at the enlarged DNA report in the newspaper. She didn’t know who he found and where he got that report from, nor did she know what kind of mood he was in when he faced those reporters ‘sharp and mean questions. However, it would be good if this matter came to an end like this.

Just as Lin Li put away the newspaper, the doorbell rang. When she opened the door, it was Mother Zhou.

“Xiao Li.” Mother Zhou entered the door with a smile, holding a lot of fruits in her hand.

“Mom,” she said. Lin Li called out with a smile. She knew that she had probably read the newspaper, so she came over.

He reached out and took the fruit from her. let me do it.

Mother Zhou nodded and followed her into the house. She looked around the living room but didn’t see Xiao bin, so she asked, ” “Where’s Xiao bin? is he in class?”

Lin Li took the fruit in her hand to the kitchen and put it down. After pouring her a glass of water, she came out of the kitchen. Xiao bin is in his room. Because of the incident in the newspaper, I applied for a few days off on his behalf.

“I’ll go see him.” Mother Zhou said as she walked towards the child’s room.

When she pushed the door open, the little guy was curled up on the bed, holding his favorite Transformers toy.

“Xiaobin, grandma is here.” Mother Zhou stepped forward and reached out to touch his face, but the little guy turned his head away.

Mother Zhou was stunned. She looked at the little guy and asked, ” “Xiaobin, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well? I’m your grandmother.”

The little guy lowered his head and did not look at her.

Mother Zhou was a little confused and turned to look at Lin Li, who was standing at the door, puzzled.

Lin Li gently shook her head.

“You’re not my grandmother.” The little guy lowered his head, holding the transformer toy tightly in his hand, and said in a low voice, ” “I’m not dad’s child …”

Mother Zhou was stunned. She turned her head to look at him and quickly said, you are. Who said you aren’t? you are my grandson, my biological grandson!

The little guy didn’t speak, didn’t look up, and didn’t look at her. That look was particularly heartbreaking. Mother Zhou’s heart suddenly ached. She regretted that she hadn’t cared about the child these days. She looked at the child and said with a little choked up, ” “Xiaobin, don’t you want grandma anymore?”

Hearing this, the little guy raised his head and stared at her. His mouth immediately pouted and his eyes began to turn red.”Dad said I’m not his child.”

Seeing her precious baby cry, mother Zhou’s heart was almost broken. She reached out and held the child tightly in her arms. She couldn’t help but cry and said, nonsense, your dad is talking nonsense. When he comes back, grandma will give him a good scolding. Xiaobin is grandma’s grandson, let’s see who still dares to talk nonsense.

The little guy’s eyes were red with tears, but he gritted his teeth and stubbornly refused to cry out.

After a while, mother Zhou let go of him, reached out to touch his face, and kissed his face a few times. Then she said, ” “Xiao bin, come home with grandma and stay for a few days, okay? Grandpa bought a lot of toys for you and is waiting for you to go back.”

Upon hearing this, the little guy raised his head and glanced at Lin Li, then shook his head.

Mother Zhou also turned to look at Lin Li, then turned to look at the little guy and asked, ” “Xiaobin, you don’t want to go to grandma’s house?”

The little guy stopped talking and lowered his head to look at the transformer toy in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Lin Li stepped forward and gently patted mother Zhou’s shoulder. Then she looked at the little guy and said, ” “Xiaobin, are you tired? do you want to take a nap?”

The little guy was really sleepy. He nodded and placed the transformer toy on the bedside table. He lay down and closed his eyes.

Lin Li reached out and covered his cup, then whispered to mother Zhou, ” “Mom, let’s go out first.”

Mother Zhou was still a little reluctant to part with her grandson. She sat and looked at him for a while before following Lin Li out of the room.

In the living room, mother Zhou was sitting on the sofa, a little dispirited. Lin Li went to the kitchen again to get a cup of warm water and brought it to her. mom, drink some water. Then, he sat down opposite her.

Mother Zhou held the cup of water and did not drink or speak. Because she had just cried, her eyes were still red.

Seeing her like this, Lin Li could only comfort her and say, ” mom, don’t take it to heart. Xiao bin has been sensitive since he was young without his mother by his side. He’ll be fine after a short period of time.

Mother Zhou sighed and looked up at Lin Li. She said with some guilt, ” “I should have come earlier to see the child, but I …”

Mother Zhou only said half of her words, but Lin Li understood the other half of what she didn’t say. In fact, if she put herself in her shoes and encountered such a thing, who could do it without thinking about anything?

Lin Li went forward and sat down beside her. She reached out and took her hand, placing it on her lap. I understand. Give Xiao bin some time. This matter is very harmful to the child. There were a few times when he fell asleep and woke up crying. He said that he was the only one left in the dream and that everyone didn’t want him anymore. He was afraid of waking up.

Mother Zhou’s heart ached so much that she kept wiping her tears. She reached out and pulled Lin Li’s hand. Thank God You’re Here. Thank God you’re by his side. Otherwise … mother Zhou couldn’t say it out loud. She didn’t dare to think further. If Lin Li wasn’t around, she would have hesitated because of the incident in the newspaper. Coupled with Zhou Han’s personality, she really didn’t dare to think about what the child would have done at that time!

“I treat Xiao bin as my own child, and I also feel bad for him.” Lin Li looked at her and said it with all sincerity.

Mother Zhou grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

In the end, Xiaobin was not brought back to the mechanical compound by mother Zhou. Mother Zhou loved her grandson, so she naturally did not dare to force him if he was unwilling. It was just that she was particularly reluctant to leave.

When Lin Li sent mother Zhou off and returned to the little guy’s room, the little guy, who was still sleeping, had already woken up. He sat in the middle of the bed and looked down at his left and right hands under the blanket.

Lin Li reached out and knocked on the door. She came in with a smile. Xiao bin, you’re awake.

Upon hearing this, the little guy raised his head and looked at Lin Li. After a long time, he asked, ” “Did grandma leave?”

Lin Li nodded and reached out to take his coat from the small chair beside him. She put it on for him and casually said, ” “Yes, I’m going back. I just came to see Xiaobin, I can’t bear to leave him.”

Upon hearing this, the little fellow’s head lowered even more. He only replied in a low voice, ” I know. He didn’t sleep at all. He didn’t know how to face grandma, so he pretended to be asleep.

Lin Li touched his head, ” grandma didn’t blame Xiao bin, so Xiao bin, don’t blame yourself.

The little guy raised his head and looked at the corner of Lin Li’s eyes. Auntie won’t abandon Xiao bin, right? ”

“No,” Lin Li nodded and promised.

The little guy nodded and didn’t say anything more. He leaned forward and snuggled into Lin Li’s arms.

Lin Li opened her arms and gently hugged him. Her hand patted his back gently from time to time, comforting his emotions.

Zhou han pulled the doorknob and pushed the door open. The room was dark. The curtains were drawn, and there was no light at all.

He reached out to press the light switch on the wall, and the whole room was lit up with a bang.

Looking at the big bed that was so neat that it seemed like there was no fruit at all, Zhou han subconsciously frowned. He didn’t need to guess to know that Lin Li must be in the little guy’s room now. However, the inexplicable bad mood in his heart made Zhou han a little unhappy.

He reached out and loosened the tie around his neck a little irritatedly. He took off his suit jacket and threw it directly on the bed. As he pulled down his tie, he also threw it on the bed. However, he didn’t pay attention and it didn’t hang on the edge of the bed. It fell directly on the ground. Zhou han couldn’t be bothered to pick it up and went straight to the cloakroom. However, he was a little stunned when he opened the cloakroom.

Looking at the empty space in the wardrobe, Lin Li’s clothes, which were originally placed in the wardrobe, were now empty. Even after opening several wardrobes and drawers, they were still empty, leaving nothing behind.
