She Lives without Regret in This Life

Lin En obediently shook his head, ”My daddy found me a stepmother, but he hasn’t married her yet.”

”What?” Sheng Ning was furious, ”I knew the Duke of Westminster wasn’t a good person. It’s been such a short time since he took you home and he’s already thinking of finding you a stepmother. It’s truly outrageous.”

Lin En showed an expression that seemed amused yet hesitating to laugh, and once again kissed Sheng Ning on the face.

”Little Lin En, you’re getting bolder now, aren’t you? You never used to kiss me before; it must be because you’ve stayed in England for so long.” Sheng Ning teased.

Lin En shyly lowered his head, his face turning red, and said embarrassedly, ”You are my mother-in-law! I have to win you over first.”

The jaws of the surrounding guests nearly dropped as they looked on in bewilderment, then turned to Xu Qigang.

Living Yama, someone is already eyeing your daughter, don’t hold back, go for it!

Living Yama, don’t show any mercy.

Xu Qigang held the little girl in his arms. She was holding a cloth doll and looking confusedly at the handsome little brother in front of her, her eyes gradually turning into hearts.

This little brother looks so good! Much better than the silly brother.

”Auntie, my daddy is very good. He wants to find me a stepmother to take better care of me.” Lin En couldn’t bear to let her daddy be misunderstood and explained, ”So you misunderstood my daddy, everyone in the castle treats me very well.”

Castle?

The eyes of spectators around lit up.

”That’s good.” Sheng Ning was relieved. She had confidence in Lin En, as they had relied on each other in the M country. This kid is terribly clever. Sigh... such an excellent young man, who looks so handsome, and most importantly, comes from a family with enviable status. Just letting her daughter take advantage of it makes her feel a bit guilty.

”I previously invited you and Gu Yunbo, but neither of you could come. I was regretting it! I didn’t expect you to suddenly show up.”

Lin En lowered his head with guilt, ”Daddy was busy looking for someone before and couldn’t find peace of mind, so he didn’t let me come. After he found the person, we came right away.”

”Just arrived?”

”Yes!”

”Where’s your daddy? How could he let a little kid come without informing me in advance?”

The two gabbed on, and Xu Qigang, sitting nearby, couldn’t stand it anymore and snorted coldly, ”Hehe... It’s obvious that his daddy didn’t come with good intentions.” He had seen clearly earlier that not long after the Westminster folks arrived, Liu Yilan, who had been playing the piano, was led away.

The piano stopped and nobody noticed; you can’t rely on these people.

Lin En felt even guiltier.

Sheng Ning glared at him, ”You’re just jealous that he looks better than you, and has more money and power than you.”

”...” Xu Qigang didn’t respond, but smiled, a smile that made Sheng Ning feel eerie, suddenly reminded of when someone locked her in an apartment downtown.

She shivered immediately, regretting it.

Come to think of it, that apartment was one she bought before going abroad, intending to invest, hoping to earn a profit when property prices went up.

Humph! If she had known, she wouldn’t have bought it.

In the dimly lit hallway outside the hotel’s banquet hall, Liu Yilan was cornered in a dark spot by a tall man. The light was unclear; the man’s black suit only revealed his upright stature, but his dazzling golden hair was exceptionally striking.
