Chapter 81: 081 Throwing Smoke Bomb_1 Chapter 81: 081 Throwing Smoke Bomb_1 Faced with Lin Xiangwan’s fury, Qin Muchuan lightly chuckled. “Well, perhaps I was mistaken.”

Lin Xiangwan’s anger subsided a little, and her shoulders dropped.

Qin Muchuan continued. “Perhaps the woman dining at XX restaurant tonight wasn’t you!”

Lin Xiangwan inhaled sharply, her nerves tensing.

Song Yichen looked at Lin Xiangwan in confusion, while she avoided his gaze guiltily.

Qin Muchuan was satisfied with the smoke screen he had created, and he left in a good mood!

He had barely walked away when Song Yichen, unable to control himself, looked deep into Lin Xiangwan’s eyes. “Didn’t you say you had dinner in a hotel?”

Lin Xiangwan forced back her panic, insisting, “I did eat at the hotel. Didn’t that Manager Qin say he mistook the person?”

Song Yichen stared at her for a while before setting aside his doubts.

Another gust of cold wind blew by. Lin Xiangwan wrapped her arms around herself, shivering. “I’m going back to the room. It’s time for Ranran to sleep!”

Song Yichen nodded. “I’ll walk you back. Don’t forget to find your ID card and household registration!”

Lin Xiangwan felt another wave of sweet happiness and nodded quickly.

When they reached the door, Song Yichen gave her a tender kiss on the forehead.

Lin Xiangwan tiptoed into the room, trying not to disturb the children, only to find Lin Haoran standing in the middle of the room in his Ultraman pajamas.

“Didn’t you promise to go to bed after your bath?” Seeing her son made Lin Xiangwan feel extraordinarily guilty because she was planning to register her marriage the next day!

She didn’t know how to explain it to her son!

“Mommy, you seem very happy!” Qin Yutong said in a surprisingly calm tone, his eyes staring like searchlights.

Lin Xiangwan felt as if her son’s gaze had seen through everything. Why hadn’t she noticed how powerful his gaze could be before? “Where?”

“Mommy, my clothes seem to be too small. Let’s go to the mall tomorrow and buy some!” Qin Yutong’s tone was commanding.

Tomorrow?

“Ahem… Mommy will take you back to B City tomorrow. We’ll go shopping there!” said Lin Xiangwan, her voice dropping as if she had done something terribly wrong.

“Back to B City? Why didn’t you mention this before? You haven’t asked for leave for me. Are you suggesting I should skip school?”

“Because Mommy has work and doesn’t want to leave you behind. Tomorrow morning, I’ll call your teacher and ask for leave so it doesn’t count as skipping school!”

Qin Yutong remained expressionless. “Mommy, I really think you aren’t going anywhere in your current job.”

“What?”

Lin Xiangwan was startled, not expecting her son to discuss her career with her. “Mommy is a manager. How can there be any development?”

“Mommy, how many years have you been the manager of the Guest Room Department?”

“Two years!” Lin Xiangwan said awkwardly, raising two fingers.

In truth, she had always known her job had no potential for growth, but hearing her son state it so bluntly left her feeling mortified.

“The Guest Room Department is just a service division. It won’t help you reach the decision-making layer of the company. It seems there’s no rising position in the Guest Room Department. Uncle Song won’t give you any shares. Manager Ni, who works with you, has entered the decision-making layer and even has a small share in the company. Mommy, do you think your job has a future?”

“Ranran… are you really you?” Lin Xiangwan looked at her son in astonishment, half in disbelief that this was her own child!

Qin Yutong didn’t respond to her question. “Mommy, don’t you think it’s unfair?”

In fact, she knew nothing about companies and career development. These were just things her father, uncles, and aunts talked about frequently. She was just parroting back their words.

Anyway, she had never heard that her mother owned shares in the Sheraton.

Lin Xiangwan shook her head. “Your Uncle Song has always been good to Mommy. We’ve known each other for many years, and we grew up together. Money doesn’t matter to us. He trusts me to manage the Guest Room Department. It’s a critical role. The environment of the guest room, safety, and the hotel’s reputation are all very important…”

Qin Yutong stared at her mother and abruptly cut her off. “So, in simple terms, you’re doing a nanny’s job…”

Lin Xiangwan felt defeated and embarrassed. “…” She didn’t know what else to say.

“Mommy, I really don’t understand why Manager Ni can own company shares and you can’t!” Qin Yutong asked again.

“I do have shares. We all get the same dividend at the end of the year. The shares are just under your Uncle Song’s name because he needs them!” Lin Xiangwan felt cornered.

“Oh… But Manager Ni can receive both shares and dividends. Uncle Song gives her more!”

Lin Xiangwan’s heart ached slightly. Yes, compared to what he gave her, Song Yichen gave Ni Shanshan more. She had also studied economics, but when she joined the Sheraton, he had made her head the Guest Room Department, while Ni Shanshan led the Finance Department.

Later, due to Ni Shanshan’s poor performance, she was transferred to the Sales Department.

No matter how you looked at it, both of these departments were more for grooming personnel, with more networking opportunities, and more promising future. It was also something she aspired to.

“Will Mommy marry Uncle Song?” The question she had been wanting to ask was finally blurted out.

If her mother refused to bring it up, then she would have to ask.

“What if… Mommy were to marry Uncle Song?”

Qin Yutong, like a mini lawyer, prudently reminded her, “Mommy, this is how it’s portrayed on TV. Some rich men transfer all their assets before getting married. Do you think Uncle Song would do that? If he transfers all his assets or makes a property notarization, would you accept it?”

Duang!

Lin Xiangwan’s head buzzed. That question… Based on what she knew, Song Yichen would definitely have a property notarization done.

Seeing her mother’s reaction, Qin Yutong was somewhat satisfied. “If Mommy wants to go back to B City tomorrow, then let’s go! But, Mommy, I really want to say that you are not young anymore and should start thinking about your career. Do you really want to be a nanny forever? Nannies aren’t worth much when they get older! Plus, if Uncle Song makes a property notarization, he definitely doesn’t love you!”

Her casual remark kept Lin Xiangwan up all night, tossing and turning on her bed!

At twenty-eight, she had strayed far from her professional field. Did she have any worth left in the workplace?

Now thinking about it, if she really wanted to leave Song Yichen, what would she do? Where would she start?

Unthinkable!

And would Song Yichen ask for a property notarization? Or had he already transferred his assets?

Thinking of her foster mother, Lin Xiangwan grew unsettled. Most likely, Song Yichen had already transferred his assets to his mother.
