Qian Mingsen didn’t pressure Wu Xinlin at this moment but instead said, “You can take your time to consider. You can answer me after you’ve made up your mind.”
“However, Wang Jinhe’s husband may return at any time. You only have this one chance; if you miss it, there won’t be another,” Qian Mingsen, while not forcing Wu Xinlin, reminded him to think carefully before answering.
Wu Xinlin glanced at Qian Mingsen, his expression not pleasant, “You don’t need to remind me of this question.”
How Wang Jinhe is doing is none of this person’s business.
Qian Mingsen smiled slightly, “I’m just offering a friendly reminder. If you don’t want to hear it, you can ignore it. As for your family, you should know that staying here will only burden them.”
Wu Xinlin frowned, looking at Qian Mingsen, “Are you here just for me, not for my mother?”
“Child, you should understand that in this world, as long as you have wealth and influence, you can have any kind of woman you want. If you can get a better woman, why settle for a lesser one? Especially one who has already given birth to someone else’s child. Don’t you think?” Qian Mingsen didn’t directly answer Wu Xinlin’s question.
But his words made Wu Xinlin realize that the man who occupied Wu Xinlin’s mother’s thoughts, the man she wanted to spend her days with, was now no longer in the picture.
“Isn’t deceiving her like this too much?” Regardless, Wu Shi is his mother, and he finds this person’s actions repulsive.
“It’s not deception; it’s her failure to recognize her current status,” Qian Mingsen said unapologetically.
Wu Xinlin frowned, not saying a word, just looking at Qian Mingsen with a disgusted expression, “Someone like you truly doesn’t deserve to have children.”
This person is truly selfish.
Rather than getting angry at Wu Xinlin’s insult, Qian Mingsen smiled, “Rest assured, when I leave, I’ll leave enough money for them to live comfortably, provided they don’t live extravagantly.”
He would give Wu Shi five hundred taels of silver, which would be enough for her and the remaining children to live on.
As long as they stayed put, there would be no issues.
Wu Xinlin glanced at Qian Mingsen, turned around, and left without paying him any more attention. As for Wu Shi, Wu Xinlin had no intention of going over to say anything.
She couldn’t see through such obvious deception, still thinking that this man had come to marry her. Wu Xinlin felt that Wu Shi was truly too naive.
Given Wu Shi’s liking and trust in Qian Mingsen, no matter what he said, Wu Shi wouldn’t believe him. Instead, she might even think he was obstructing her pursuit of happiness.
In that case, what else was there to say?
When Wu Shi returned and saw her acting this way, Wu Xinlin frowned, especially when he met Qian Mingsen’s gentle and affectionate gaze.
How did this man manage to be so disgustingly sweet despite his inner dislike?
Watching Wu Shi’s shy demeanor, Wu Xinlin took a deep breath, turned around, and left. Out of sight, out of mind.
Unconsciously, he arrived outside the Wang family’s residence. Seeing Wang Jinhe strolling in the fields with two children and two maidservants, occasionally picking some vegetables, Wu Xinlin couldn’t help but wonder why he hadn’t noticed before how attractive Wang Jinhe was. Now that he saw her like this, Wu Xinlin once again felt a twinge of empathy.
Even though Wang Jinhe had already had children, her figure was still excellent. Not only that, but her skin was also flawless, making her look stunning.
He really wanted to claim her for himself. A person like her could only belong to him.
Sensing someone staring at her, Wang Jinhe subconsciously looked up. When she saw Wu Xinlin, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her eyes were filled with displeasure toward him.
“Xiao Bao, Xiao Zhi, we’re going home.”
“Coming.” Xiao Bao responded, holding a large cabbage in his arms as he followed behind Wang Jinhe.
As for the other child, he carefully guarded Xiao Bao, afraid that he might fall while carrying such a large cabbage.
Wu Xinlin didn’t want Wang Jinhe to go back so easily. He quickly walked over and stood in front of Wang Jinhe, looking at her with some urgency, “Xiao He, there’s something I want to tell you.”
“There’s nothing to say between us,” Wang Jinhe said bluntly.
Seeing Wang Jinhe being so distant, Wu Xinlin couldn’t help but wonder if she would be the same if it were another man.
He had seen Wang Jinhe interact with another man and knew how they behaved together. Wang Jinhe was completely different in the presence of that other person.
“Xiao He, you shouldn’t be like this. Why can you be so good to another man, but treat me so poorly?” Wu Xinlin asked with jealousy.
He didn’t even realize that his voice carried a tone of questioning, something that Wang Jinhe detested the most.
“Wu Xinlin, do you think you have the right to question me like this? Are you worthy?” Wang Jinhe really doubted whether this person could understand human language. She had already made it clear to her brother, and yet this person dared to come and say such things to her.
The statement “Are you worthy?” filled Wu Xinlin with anger. Just as he was about to step forward, a man with a strong scent of blood blocked his way.
Wu Xinlin hadn’t even noticed where this man came from.
“Madam, it’s time to go back,” the man said.
“Okay.” Wang Jinhe hadn’t seen this man before and assumed he was someone from Su Yu’s side.
Xiao Bao tugged at Wang Jinhe’s clothes, feeling a bit scared of this suddenly appearing man.
“Don’t be afraid, Xiao Bao. He’s someone Daddy left to help us,” Wang Jinhe reassured him quickly.
Xiao Bao’s eyes gleamed with joy, “Can Mommy ask this uncle to help deliver a message to Daddy?”
Wang Jinhe wasn’t sure if she could arrange for Su Yu to send a letter.
“Young Master, you have one chance to deliver a message.”
“Huh? Only one chance? After Daddy sends a message for me, can’t I send one back to him?” Xiao Bao asked, furrowing his little brow.
“Yes.” The Forget Sorrow City wasn’t a place where anyone could go in freely. One opportunity was already the limit.
Xiao Bao pouted unhappily, “Then when can Daddy come back?”
“At least three months.”
For Xiao Bao, he was likable, but dealing with children was something he wasn’t familiar with.
“Ah? Only one chance to send a letter to Daddy in such a long time? I don’t want that.” Xiao Bao puffed his cheeks.
After considering it for a moment, Xiao Bao walked up to the guard, took his hand, and shook it gently, “Uncle, can you give two more chances?”
The man shook his head gently, “No, if the master finds out that your daddy’s return time will be further delayed, one chance is already the master’s limit.”
Wang Jinhe looked at the man in surprise, “Are you from my uncle’s side?”
“Yes.”
“Isn’t Su Yu supposed to be dealing with his own affairs? Why is he with uncle?” Wang Jinhe frowned and asked.
