Ann's face turned red in an instant and explained, "I don't have any."

Her tone was full of unknowingly coquettish anger and red face. It didn't sound like an excuse, but more like shyness. Lin Qing shook her head and sighed, "a woman in love..."

Seeing her expression well, I knew that it was useless to say anything. I simply looked at her in silence. Anyway, the play can't be played for long alone.

As soon as Lin Qing finished speaking, she remembered the phone call of the third brother. She couldn't help sitting up straight, looked at Ann and asked, "what happened to you before? I heard my third brother's tone very worried about you."

His work has reached a tense stage, otherwise she will suspect that his third brother will be absent from duty.

The smile on ANN's face stiffened. She played with the fingertips of the other hand, pursed her lips and kept silent for a moment, then pretended to smile easily: "it's nothing, just... I went to see my mother."

"You. Mom?" Lin Qing's eyes widened in shock. "Do you still have a mom?"

"Nonsense." Ann gave her a white look: "otherwise, did I jump out of the crack of the stone?"

"No... no..." Lin Qing scratched her head in embarrassment. "I didn't mean that. I thought you. Mom, she... Died long ago."

"No, just don't want me." Lin Qing said, glancing at her: "it's the mother of he Xigu you said. Hey, I ask you, she shouldn't be he Xigu's mother? Why did you tell me it was him. Mother yesterday?"

Lin Qing blinked and said innocently, "I mean, I'm used to it. I always thought it was brother Xi Gu's mother. Later I knew it wasn't, but I still subconsciously thought so. I don't know what's going on."

She said a little unbelievable: "that... He Xigu. Mom... It's really you. Mom?... how do I feel so mysterious?"

"I didn't know it until today." Ann sipped her lower lip. "Now I finally know why he Xigu is always bothering me."

In the following days, Lin Lang seemed to be more busy. He went out early and came back late every day. He couldn't even eat the breakfast made by Anhao every day. When Anhao knew that Yu Liu was not the murderer of grandma, he also knew that it was urgent and could only wait for the news from Lin Lang slowly.

With the longer and longer pregnancy, an Hao's lower abdomen has bulged and can't be covered in loose down clothes. After work, Lin Lang helped an Hao sign up for a pregnant women's health care class. He has to go twice a week. Lin Lang has time to go with him. If he doesn't have time, he handed the task to Lin Qing.

But for the weekly pre pregnancy examination, Lin Lang will take time to go with Ann no matter how busy he is.

In the twinkling of an eye, the time slipped to early February. The Spring Festival will be over in two or three days. Lin Lang's work is finally not so busy, but he still has to go to the unit to report and deal with some things every day.

As early as the middle of December, Lin Qing actually asked how she was doing and whether she wanted to go to Lin's house for the new year. How she was doing meant that she wanted to listen to Lin Lang's opinions, but Lin Lang was too busy. She hadn't found a chance to ask Lin Lang, so she waited for Lin Lang's mother Lina to come.

It was 11:00 noon on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. Lin Lang called and said that his unit had something to deal with. He didn't come back for lunch at noon. He was too lazy to plan to go out and have some casual food.

When she was ready to go out, the door was knocked. She thought it was Lin Qing. When she opened the door, she found Lina. She was still so elegant and beautiful, and there was an intellectual beauty all over her.

Maybe it's too empathic. Since she knew that Lin Lang had been thrown away by her parents to her grandfather since childhood, she lost favor with the Lin family's parents, especially Lina. How much she liked it at the beginning and how disappointed she is now.

But after all, she is an elder. Well, she still keeps her superficial politeness: "aunt." after greeting, she gives up her position at the door: "come in and sit down."

"No." Lina looked at her and said with a smile, "I think you're just trying to go out? Just right, let's go together."

That's what I have to say to her.

Ann nodded and said, "aunt, wait for me." she turned back to the house, took her bag and went out with Lina.

There was a heavy snow yesterday, and the streets were white. From time to time, there would be snow shovels passing by. Maybe she was worried that the roadside was too slippery. After leaving the community, Lina held on to an Hao's arm. An Hao was stunned. Then she let her hold it. It was not good for her to refuse.

"Have you had lunch?" Lina asked.

Ann shook her head: "not yet, did aunt eat?"

"Not at all." Lina smiled. "It's just that we have lunch together. I heard Qingqing say you like northeast food. There's an authentic northeast restaurant near youth day. Let's try it?"

Lina didn't drive, so they took a taxi to the Youth Street. It was the hotel. There were a lot of guests in the hotel. The private room for two was full. The waiter invited them into a private room for four. After ordering, the waiter left.

The two people had a good chat during the two previous meetings. This time they both knew each other's identity, but the atmosphere was not as harmonious as before. After Ann poured a cup of tea for Lina, they were silent. They really didn't know what to say.

Lina tasted tea and didn't speak. The scene fell into unspeakable embarrassment.

It wasn't until the waiter put the dishes on the table and returned out that the two began to eat that Lina said, "looks like you know?"

Although she didn't say exactly what she knew, Ann just understood. She said that Lin Lang grew up around his grandfather. Ann nodded: "well, I know."

"I'm very sorry." Lina smiled bitterly: "when I was young, his father and I were not very sensible. We thought it would be good to have a career at a young age, so we often felt that the children were a burden. Not only Alan, but also Ashi and Qingqing, we didn't take good care of them. They were all taken care of by the nanny."

As she spoke, the expression on her face was in a trance, as if she had fallen into memory. She didn't speak and ate silently. She really didn't know how to answer her words.

Lina didn't keep silent for too long. After returning to her senses, she took a good look and smiled bitterly: "our career was starting at that time. When we went out every morning, the children didn't get up. When we came back at night, they were already asleep. In addition, we often went on business. When we realized that we were neglecting the children, they had grown up and didn't need us anymore."

Ann really couldn't help but blurted out, "but even so, they grew up around their parents."

And Lin Lang... Was really thrown by his parents as a burden to grandpa in another country.
