Chapter 20: Chapter 1 020 Dad is Having an Affair_1 Chapter 20: Chapter 1 020 Dad is Having an Affair_1 Lin Xiangwan was not a fool, so she could certainly detect his mockery. “I have no choice, I’m poor and counting on selling this plot for a good price. Right now, I’m not making money, but losing it. What else can I do, with no connections or background, if I don’t act as a nail-householder?”

“How long do you think you can hold out? I just took a walk around and found that all the facade shops on your street have agreed to relocate, leaving only your shop refusing to move!” Qin Muchuan pointed around.

“What? They all have agreed to move?” Lin Xiangwan was taken aback, quickly heading out to inquire with neighboring shop owners.

The breakfast shop owner said, “I don’t know either. We just rent the place and the landlord said we have to move!”

The convenience store owner said, “My lease isn’t even up yet. But the landlord agreed to compensate for my loss and asked me to move out as soon as possible!”

A Chinese restaurant said, “My landlord did the same, promising money if we leave immediately. Look around now, everything’s in ruins, there’s hardly anyone around. We obviously have to go!”

After hearing this, Lin Xiangwan was furious, almost jumping up in rage. “How can these landlords be so irresponsible? To move out without a word? And they’re satisfied with such meager compensation! Have they never seen money before? Are they content with merely scraps?”

Qin Muchuan, standing aside, barely held back his laughter. “How about this, I’m well acquainted with the developer. I’ll talk to him and see if he can raise your compensation.”

“Are you very close?” Lin Xiangwan’s eyes sparkled.

Qin Muchuan hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Relatively close, I suppose!”

In Xiangwan’s mind, his response sounded a bit reluctant. Maybe they really weren’t that close! But since Mr. Qin offered help, it would be wrong to refuse.

“Then, I will trouble you, Mr. Qin, but if the compensation your friend offers is not acceptable to me, I will still refuse to move.” She laid her cards on the table.

“Of course, it’s within your rights!” Qin Muchuan had accomplished his first goal and didn’t waste any more time. “Did you save my number in your phone?”

Lin Xiangwan picked up his business card. “I have it tucked away safely!”

“Hmm!” Qin Muchuan lightly nodded, taking time to remind her, “Don’t lose it!”

“Oh, of course not!”

“Good, I’ll take my leave then!”

Once again, a hint of disappointment crept into Lin Xiangwan’s heart. She gave herself a stern reminder that the man in front of her was barely an acquaintance, and she should harbor no feelings for him!

“Goodbye, Mr. Qin!”

“Hmm!”

When Lin Xiangwan walked outside, she noticed a limited-edition luxury car parked at the roadside.

Such a lavish car truly drew people’s attention!

He got into the back seat, shut the door, exuding an air of wealth and elegance in his unhurried movements.

Fairly speaking, he was a truly charismatic man.

At that moment, her son Lin Haoran, who had just returned from school, came running over. “Mom!”

“Why are you here? Why didn’t you go home with Granny Wu?” Lin Xiangwan took his small schoolbag and straightened his clothes.

Having played all day, he had dirt all over him!

Looking up at his mother with a worried expression, Lin Haoran said earnestly, “I was worried that those people would bully you, so I rushed over to help!”

Granny Wu, with her white hair, laughed. “Xiangwan, your son is so thoughtful, he was worried about you all the way back!”

Looking at Granny Wu, Lin Xiangwan expressed her gratitude. “Granny Wu, thank you for picking Ranran up again.”

“Oh my, there’s no need for thanks. I wanted to stroll anyway—it was no detour.”

Granny Wu was an old householder in the area, very kind-hearted. Apparently, her daughter was abroad. Initially, Granny Wu had followed her overseas, but couldn’t adapt to the lifestyle there.

She returned alone to China, and it was a good thing she liked Ranran so much, often volunteering to help take care of him!

“Those people would like to pick a quarrel with me, but I don’t think they’ll dare!” Lin Xiangwan patted her son’s head, adopting a tough demeanor to reassure him.

Lin Haoran suddenly noticed the luxury business car and pointed excitedly. “Mom, isn’t that my future father-in-law’s car? Is he inside?”

“What nonsense are you talking, future father-in-law? Have you no shame?”

Rebuked by a stern retort, Lin Haoran nursed his head, saying plaintively, “But he is my future father-in-law! You even admitted it last time! Huh, you don’t want to live in a luxury house, drive a luxury car, and have a pile of luxury goods when you go out?”

……

When Qin Muchuan arrived home, there was a touch of joy in his eyes and brows.

He didn’t know why he was so happy.

‘Thump, thump, thump…’ The sound of small hands tapping on the car window interrupted his thoughts.

Qin Muchuan looked at his daughter’s adorable face, raising a smile and slowly winding down the car window. “Darling…”

“Daddy, you’re home but not entering the house. Is it because you don’t want to see me?” Qin Yutong asked worriedly.

Qin Muchuan scooped Yutong onto his lap and teased her. “Do you think you’ve been naughty?”

Qin Yutong was even more upset. “I don’t think I’ve been naughty. I think I’ve been very good. But since daddy isn’t eager to see me, I think I must have done something wrong?”

“Not bad…”

Daddy’s mood was unusually pleasant today. Normally, you could hardly see a smile on his face, but his crow’s feet were more prominent than usual, indicating his high spirits.

Qin Yutong grew more puzzled, her delicate eyebrows furrowed tighter. “…Daddy, do you like someone else more than me?”

“Hmm?” Her sudden thought was too swift for Qin Muchuan to follow.

Yutong said seriously, “One of our teachers was telling another teacher that her boyfriend has been coming home late and keeping to himself, looking very happy. She said this is a sign of a new love interest. Is that what’s happening to you, too?”

Frustration subtly creased Qin Muchuan’s brows. What on earth does this older daughter of his have running in her mind? “You’re Daddy’s favorite daughter!”

With a pout, Qin Yutong sank into dissatisfaction. “So, you are implying that you will have another woman you like more than me, right?”

At six, she already knew the difference between a daughter and a woman!

“Would that bother you?” Qin Muchuan tentatively asked.

Now that his daughter was six, he couldn’t stay single forever. Sooner or later, he had to get married…even have more children.

He didn’t want his daughter to be too hurt by this!

Tears quickly filled Yutong’s wide eyes, her face a picture of pathos. “Daddy, do you really have another woman you like now?”

“What if… I do?” In fact, there was no such person, he was just speculating!
