195 The reason for splitting rooms
When Lin Li finished washing up and came out, she opened the door and heard her motherâs laughter and her fatherâs conversation coming from the dining room.
âWhatâs the situation?â Lin Li raised her eyebrows in confusion. Her parents rarely smiled so happily even at home.
With doubts, Lin Li walked toward the restaurant.
In the dining room, father Lin and mother Lin were sitting at one side of the dining table. In front of them was a Western breakfast that they were not used to eating. There were sandwiches and Lotus egg buns. Zhou han was sitting opposite the two of them, holding a sandwich in his left hand and a glass of milk in his right hand. At this moment, he was doing something, making father Lin and mother Lin so amused that they couldnât close their mouths. The atmosphere was peaceful and warm.
As if sensing that someone was standing there, Zhou han turned his head and happened to meet Lin Liâs eyes. The corners of his mouth were half curved up, looking like a smile yet not a smile.
Seeing the familiar smile on his face, Lin Li immediately thought of the unpleasant memory of last night. Her ears unconsciously heated up, and she glared at him and turned her head away, not looking at him.
Mother Lin, who was sitting opposite Zhou han, seemed to have noticed something. She followed Zhou Hanâs gaze and turned her head. Only then did she realize that Lin Li was standing at the door of the dining room and living room behind her. She smiled and said to her daughter, â Lin Li, youâre up. Come and have breakfast. Zhou han made it himself early in the morning. Itâs not bad.
Lin Li raised her eyebrows and looked at the sandwiches and fried Lotus egg on their plates. They looked pretty good. She was a little surprised that Zhou han actually knew how to cook noodles and the sandwiches were also made quite well.
Zhou han also spoke at this moment, â come and sit down. Iâll heat your portion in the microwave. He put down the sandwich and milk and went into the kitchen.
Looking at the transparent glass that separated the kitchen and dining room, Zhou han was pouring a glass of fresh milk and heating it in the microwave with the sandwich he had made earlier. Mother Lin smiled and said to father Lin, â âLook at how much Zhou han knows how to dote on people.â
Father Lin also raised his head to look in the direction of the kitchen and nodded with a smile. When he turned around, he saw Lin Li still standing there and quickly asked, â âXiaoli, why donât you go and sit down?â
Lin Li only smiled and nodded. She went over and sat down beside Zhou Hanâs previous seat.
It didnât take long to heat it up, so Zhou han quickly came out of the kitchen with a sandwich and milk. He placed it in front of Lin Li and rubbed her pretty short hair. eat quickly.
âDonât Touch My Hair!â Lin Li glared at him in dissatisfaction. Her heart was still filled with anger from last night. She reached out and tidied her hair that had been messed up by him in a fit of pique.
Zhou han wasnât angry. He just smiled and his expression was obviously doting.
Father Lin and mother Lin both laughed when they saw this. Mother Lin was the son-in-law and the more they looked at her, the more interesting she was. This time, she directly changed her stance and spoke up for Zhou han. youâre already an adult, but youâre still acting like a child. Only Zhou han dotes on you.
Lin Li looked at her mother in surprise and pouted in protest, â âMom, why are you speaking up for an outsider?â Her motherâs attitude had changed too quickly. It had only been one night and she was already leaning towards Zhou han? She was her daughter!
âYou still say youâre not a child. Look at how childish you are.â Mother Lin laughed at Lin Li. youâre already married to Zhou han. Heâs my son-in-law now. People say that a son-in-law is only half a son. Why am I speaking for an outsider? â
Lin Li really didnât know how to respond to mother Linâs words. According to what her mother said, there was nothing wrong, but the problem was that she and Zhou han could only be considered a fake couple. Although all the legal procedures were complete, both of them knew that this wasnât the case!
Of course, it was impossible for her to say these words to her parents now, so Lin Li could only swallow this silent grievance with the sandwich and milk.
This breakfast was quite enjoyable for father Lin, mother Lin, and Zhou han. Although Lin Li was a little depressed in her heart, in view of the fact that Zhou Hanâs breakfast was really delicious, Lin Li still ate quite well.
After breakfast, Zhou han went out with his briefcase because he had to go to the company to deal with some work matters. Before he left, he specifically told father Lin and mother Lin that the dinner location for the two families had been reserved and that he would pick them up at that time. In addition, he also told Lin Li to bring father Lin and mother Lin out for a walk. The weather in October wasnât too cold or too hot, so going out for a walk was a good choice.
Zhou Hanâs words made the two elders smile from ear to ear. The little bit of attitude they had towards their marriage was gone, and they just nodded and agreed.
Under mother Linâs insistence and urging, Lin Li had no choice but to send Zhou han to the elevator.
While waiting for the elevator, Zhou han turned his head and looked at the woman who came to send him off unwillingly. He leaned on the side in boredom, looking like a dispirited kitten.
âAre you still angry about what happened last night?â he asked with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Lin Li glared at him like an angry cat. She lowered her voice and said, â âDonât mention what happened last night!â Iâll just take it that I was unlucky last night.
Seeing her reaction, Zhou han raised his eyebrows and deliberately asked, â âWhy?â
Lin Li gritted her teeth and said, â âDo you think thatâs a good memory? Why should I reminisce?â
Zhou han seemed to have really thought about Lin Liâs words seriously. After a while, he nodded his head and said, â âItâs not bad for me. At least the taste is okay.â
âYou ...!â Lin Li glared at him in dissatisfaction. She wanted to say something, but she couldnât think of what to say for a moment. She looked at him and pouted her cheeks angrily.
To her glare, Zhou han just shrugged and said, â âIâm telling the truth. It does taste good. Itâs soft, huh?â After thinking for a while, she suddenly thought of something and nodded at Lin Li with certainty. Oh right, thereâs also Tiantianâs. Itâs indeed a beautiful memory for me. I can reminisce about it when I have the time.
Lin Liâs face was a little red from his words. She glared at him for a long time and forced out two words, â hooligan!
Zhou han shrugged his shoulders and didnât refute her comment. He even nodded in agreement and said, â âI donât deny it.â Looking at her pouting cheeks, he felt that it was a little interesting and cute. The corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up into a gentle arc, even he himself did not notice it.
Lin Li glared at him hatefully for a long time. She glared so hard that her eyes hurt a little before she retracted her gaze. She comforted herself in her heart that if a person was shameless, they would be invincible. This was the same logic as if you were bitten by a dog. You couldnât just pounce on the dog and bite it back, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Liâs slightly angry heart slowly calmed down. She glanced at him, then snorted, turned around, and walked past him.
Lin Li pretended to be calm, but she couldnât hide the anger in her heart. She successfully made Zhou han laugh. He laughed so hard that he didnât even react to the elevator.
Lin Li strode home in a fit of pique. As soon as she opened the door and entered, she was pulled into the living room by mother Lin, who was standing at the door. Father Lin was sitting upright on the sofa in the living room. On the low table in front of him was a cup of boiled water and the medicine prescribed by the hospital yesterday.
âSit down, sit down.â Mother Lin pulled her daughter to sit on the sofa opposite father Lin. Then, she walked around the low table and sat next to father Lin. Then, the couple stared at their daughter.
Lin Li was a little scared by her gaze. She reached out and grabbed her pretty short hair, and couldnât help but ask, â âDad? Mom? Do you have something to tell me?â
Father Linâs throat was still a little uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and nodded. Then, he turned to look at mother Lin and said, â âYou can ask.â
Lin Li was a little frightened by their serious expressions. She had no idea what was going on, but she could vaguely feel that what they were going to talk about was definitely not simple. She laughed dryly and asked mother Lin, â âMom, you, what do you want to tell me? Did something happen?â
Mother Lin rolled her eyes at her and questioned her daughter, â are you angry with Zhou han?!
Lin Li was stunned. Was she that obvious? How could even father and mother see through it!
However, he naturally couldnât admit it. He could only play dumb and look at his mother. He laughed dryly and said, â mom, what are you saying? why would I be angry with Zhou han? â
âYou still say you donât have one.â Mother Lin rolled her eyes at her and said, â I saw it all. Youâre so obvious. If youâre not angry, then what is it? â
âYou saw it?â Lin Li was shocked. Could it be that her mother knew about what happened in the study last night?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOf course I did!â Mother Lin said, â when I woke up this morning, Zhou han was also up. I saw him coming out from the first room on the left!
âThe first room on the left?â Lin Li turned her head to look at the bedroom and thought to herself, isnât the first room on the left the master bedroom? whatâs so strange about Zhou han getting up and coming out of that room? No problem, he was sleeping there anyway!
âAI!â Mother Lin sighed softly and stood up again. She walked around the low table and sat down next to Lin Li. She reached out to take Lin Liâs hand and gently patted it on her leg. In a gentle tone, she said with some emotion, â Xiao Li, based on your father and Iâve observed him yesterday and this morning, Zhou han is really not bad. Heâs considerate and knows how to take care of you. Heâs also good to us. Donât be stubborn and act like a child. Itâs normal for couples to have conflicts. There are many ways to deal with it, but donât do it too much. Once you do it, peopleâs hearts will turn cold. If peopleâs hearts turn cold, itâs hard to warm them up again!
The more Lin Li heard, the more confused she became. She didnât quite understand what her mother meant by this. She laughed dryly and said, â mom, what are you talking about? I donât understand a word youâre saying!
donât try to hide it from us anymore. We already know. Zhou han already told us. Mother Lin said, â actually, you canât blame Zhou han for this. Zhou han started his own company and is busy with work. Naturally, he will have less time to spend with you. As your wife, you should be more understanding. Donât be stubborn.
Lin Liâs mouth twitched and she asked, â âMom, what did Zhou han ... Say to you?â
he said that youâve been throwing a tantrum at him because heâs been working until midnight every day. Thatâs why youâve been sleeping in separate rooms! mother Lin glanced at her and said.
Father Lin also expressed his opinion at this time, criticizing his daughter, â âXiaoli, youâre in the wrong.â
Lin Li didnât know what else to say. She could only smile drily with the corners of her mouth twitching.
