"Didn't they say … he's getting engaged to Gu Hanyan?"
Lin Nuan tightened her grip on her bag and replied calmly, "It's just a rumor …"
"How long have you known each other?!"
Lin Chen tried hard to make himself sound like a big brother.
"Three to four months …" Lin Nuan answered honestly.
Lin Chen was infuriated. He felt that Lin Nuan was too rash in marrying a man she had only known for three to four months!
"Understand?!"
Just as Lin Chen finished speaking, Liang Mulan came out …
Liang Mulan adjusted her shawl. Her gaze was fixed on Lin Chen's car as she walked over quickly.
"Mom's here …" Lin Nuan said as she got out of the car.
Liang Mulan saw from afar that Lin Nuan had really returned. Her eyes welled up … and she couldn't help but quicken her steps.
"Mom …" Lin Nuan called out softly.
Lin Chen lowered his gaze and lit a cigarette before unbuckling his seatbelt and getting out of the car unhurriedly.
"Nuan Nuan …" Liang Mulan went up to hold Lin Nuan's hand, seemingly blaming her but also feeling gratified. "You're willing to come back!"
Lin Nuan smiled and went straight to the point. "Bring your marriage partner back for Mom to take a look at. We'll be getting our marriage certificate tomorrow."
Liang Mulan was caught unprepared by the news Lin Nuan brought. She looked at Lin Chen, who had a cigarette in his mouth as he got out of the car. Liang Mulan held Lin Nuan's hand tightly and said, "Come upstairs with me …"
Liang Mulan still acted like a mother in front of Lin Nuan. This was a habit she had developed over the years … and it couldn't be changed.
Liang Mulan dragged Lin Nuan all the way into the bedroom.
After closing the door, Liang Mulan pressed Lin Nuan onto the sofa and asked, "Is it because Mom told you … that she wants you to marry your brother that you're in such a hurry to find someone to marry?"
Liang Mulan clearly misunderstood …
She was afraid that because of her obsession with bringing Lin Nuan back to the Lin family, Lin Nuan panicked and found a random man to marry, wasting her life.
Before Lin Nuan could reply, Liang Mulan said anxiously, "You silly child, if you don't want to do it, then don't tell me I'll force you. It was only because Mom wanted you to come back that she came up with such a messy idea! You can't act recklessly just because you don't want to! Are you trying to cut out my heart with a knife?! "
The eagerness and concern in Liang Mulan's eyes could not be concealed. It was the most gentle love a mother had for her daughter.
Lin Nuan's eyes reddened. She was very grateful to Liang Mulan for still treating her like her own daughter after the truth was revealed.
"Mom …" Lin Nuan held Liang Mulan's hand and sobbed.
Liang Mulan raised a hand to wipe away the tiny tears at the corners of her eyes and held Lin Nuan in her arms. She clearly wanted to stop her tears, but she couldn't help it.
Liang Mulan choked up. "Even if you're not my biological daughter, I've doted on you since you were young. What I hope the most … is for the person you marry to treat you well and for you to be happy. I actually thought of such a messy way to keep you by my side. Alright, alright … I won't talk about that anymore. Don't worry … You have an engagement with the Gu family. With us around, the Gu family won't dare to break the engagement! But don't mess around outside, I can't take it … "
Lin Ran was just outside the bedroom. Separated by a door, she listened to the mother-daughter pair's affectionate words. She felt like she had been shoved into a meat grinder, and her entire body was in pain.
