My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 845: Neither fish nor fowl at 856 miles

"Dad, I hope Mom will like you too!" Lin Xiangwan said with great empathy for her father.

"Yeah, having your support is enough for me!" Lin Lijun said joyfully. "I had always thought you might resent me, if that incident hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t have lost anything! You were made an orphan from birth, and when it comes down to it, it’s all my fault."

"No..." Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "I know Dad is also in pain, it’s only the bad people who are at fault!"

"But those bad people could have been avoided!"

"Why should we punish ourselves for someone else’s mistakes? I think it’s wrong to keep thinking about whom to blame!" Lin Xiangwan had come to terms with her own experiences. Life can never always go as one wishes, she reasoned, and if past sufferings could lead to present happiness, then that was a fair trade.

Lin Lijun stroked his daughter’s hair, feeling especially heartbroken. "In the future, I must properly make up for the time lost with you, my daughter. Sigh, speaking of which, I’ve really muddled through life, failing to protect the woman I love and my own daughter. I’m the biggest failure; if I could do it all over again, I would certainly seize the opportunity!"

"Dad..." Lin Xiangwan knew that the regrets in their family weren’t only about her; her parents too lived amidst these regrets. "We don’t need to agonize over the past anymore, we just have to make the most of the present!"

"Okay, okay!"

Recalling her purpose, Lin Xiangwan hurriedly said, "Dad, so I think you shouldn’t waste your youth anymore. How about you find a beautiful, intelligent, and kind aunt, what do you think?"

Lin Lijun found his daughter’s suggestion very strange. "Why should I find another aunt?"

"Because Mom now has another uncle and is very happy. I hope Dad can be very happy too!"

Lin Lijun finally realized his daughter was still misunderstanding and was overjoyed. "Well, never mind, you don’t need to worry about Dad’s affairs, I am still very happy!"

"No, if Dad isn’t happy, how can I be happy?" Lin Xiangwan was really worried and couldn’t bear it. "Dad, what type of woman do you like? Someone with a cheerful personality, or more reserved? Fat or thin, tall or petite?"

Lin Lijun frowned. "I just like someone like your mom!"

"Oh, I see!" Lin Xiangwan nodded her head.

Back in her room, she took out paper and a pen and started to write and draw.

Qin Muchuan, having finished his shower, saw her deep in thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Qin Muchuan casually threw his towel over Lin Xiangwan’s head.

Lin Xiangwan too responded naturally, setting down what she was holding to wipe his hair. Qin Muchuan’s hair was very soft and shiny; each time Lin Xiangwan did this, she felt like she was petting a little dog.

Unable to hold it in, she chuckled.

Hearing her somewhat strange laughter, Qin Muchuan frowned. "What’s so funny?"

"Nothing!" Lin Xiangwan quickly suppressed her smile.

If he knew why she was smiling, he probably wouldn’t be pleased, to say the least.

"Liar, you must be hiding something from me!"

"I’m not hiding anything, it’s just that I want to introduce a girlfriend to my dad..."

Qin Muchuan set the towel aside, looking at her forehead in surprise. "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing’s wrong!"

"You seem a bit off?"

"I’m not!" Lin Xiangwan waved his hand away, speaking seriously.

"You’re trying to matchmake them, but not your parents?" Qin Muchuan asked, puzzled.

Feeling down, Lin Xiangwan muttered a few words into Qin Muchuan’s ear. "..."

Qin Muchuan listened and was a little surprised, but he quickly returned to normal. "So that’s how it is!"

After speaking, he took off his clothes and got into the blanket naked.

Lin Xiangwan frowned as she saw he had no reaction at all. "You’re going to sleep just like that? You don’t have anything to say to me?"

"What do you want me to say to you?"

Lin Xiangwan was a bit angry, forcefully smacking his blanket. "At least give me some advice? If not advice, you should at least offer me some comfort, right? How can you have nothing to say when it comes to you?"

Qin Muchuan was a bit embarrassed. "It’s not my place to comment on their business, they should have their own choices! Of course, you have your choices too!"

"You seem not to care about my parents, huh? Is it because they’re not your parents, so you don’t bother with them?" Lin Xiangwan said a bit angrily.

"How could that be!" Qin Muchuan didn’t know how to explain, feeling that any explanation would be wrong.

"Hmph!"

Qin Muchuan thought for a moment. "However, your idea is not bad, maybe doing this will make Mom anxious!"

"Make Mom anxious?"

"Yes, maybe Mom always refuses Dad because she isn’t in a hurry, and this might trigger her jealousy?" Qin Muchuan continued to explain.

Lin Xiangwan’s eyes widened in understanding. "I get it, you mean... making her jealous!"

"Exactly!"

"Right, right, right, maybe Mom will get jealous!" Lin Xiangwan was exceptionally happy. "How didn’t I think of this!"

"..." Qin Muchuan’s mouth curled into a smile.

"Husband, you’re the best!" Lin Xiangwan pulled Qin Muchuan’s cheek towards her and planted a kiss on his face. "Then... hurry up and help me find an auntie with good credentials, someone Dad likes almost as much as Mom, thin and tall!"

Upon hearing his wife’s words, Qin Muchuan felt a chill down his spine and he stopped his eager wife. "Do you really think it’s a good idea for me to do this? Why do I feel like this will end up being a thankless task!"

His mother-in-law would hate him first, followed by his father-in-law thinking he’s meddling, and ultimately, she, Lin Xiangwan, would also think he has ulterior motives.

"How could that be..." Lin Xiangwan was unwilling to admit it.

"Let’s do it this way, I’ll provide you with some information tomorrow, and you can choose the right person yourself."

"Okay, okay, okay, that sounds good to me!" Lin Xiangwan nodded vigorously.

Qin Muchuan made himself clear. "But we must agree beforehand, this has nothing to do with me!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t wrong you!"

"Mmm!"

"Okay then, can we go to sleep now?" Qin Muchuan started to get handsy with Lin Xiangwan again, clearly making some sort of request.

Every cell in Lin Xiangwan’s body began to revive in protest. "No, don’t..."

"Why not!"

Lin Xiangwan gently caressed her belly in secret. "Well, just because not!"

She was pregnant after all, of course it wasn’t allowed!

Actually, she felt like telling him, but... she feared he might be happy for nothing, so she decided to wait a bit longer.
