Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Desperately Want to Hug the Child

The car returned to the old house, and as she was about to get out, the man grabbed her hand and wouldn’t let go, preventing her from leaving.

She looked at him, puzzled...

Qiao Yiyang’s gaze was deep as he watched her for a while before slowly leaning in, his burning eyes fixed on her lips.

Lin Xinlan knew he wanted to kiss her, and she couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous; her arms also tightened slowly, hugging the child in her arms closer.

Her emotions affected Xiaocong, who clung to her body, his little hands gripping her clothes tightly.

However, his reaction went unnoticed by everyone.

Qiao Yiyang’s face neared hers until their noses were almost touching.

Lin Xinlan didn’t move, she closed her eyes slightly, and then, with a gaze deep as the ocean, he kissed her—a dragonfly skimming the water—on her lips.

He did not go any deeper; he only gently caressed her lips.

He let her go, smiling fondly as he stroked her head, "You’re too tense."

Lin Xinlan opened her eyes, a hint of disarray in her gaze, "I’m getting out of the car."

"Go ahead, I’ll call you tonight."

She nodded in agreement and just as she was opening the door, Qiao Yiyang added, "Xinlan, I hope you’re not afraid of me or rejecting me, I won’t hurt you."

Lin Xinlan paused for a moment, but she did not turn back and got out of the car directly.

Back at the old house, the housekeeper, who had been waiting in the living room for her return, hurriedly greeted her with joy.

"You’re finally back!" she exclaimed with happiness, as if she thought Lin Xinlan had taken the child and run off, never to return.

Her gaze fell directly onto Xiaocong, revealing a somewhat bewildered but pleased expression, "Xiaocong, did you have a good meal out? If you didn’t, grandma has lots of yummy food here."

Lin Xinlan knew that the housekeeper really liked the child; seeing her eagerness to hold the child, she smiled and handed him over proactively, "Madam, could you look after Xiaocong for a moment? I’ll go upstairs and change my clothes."

The housekeeper was overjoyed to take the child and waved her off, "Go on, I’ll take good care of him, you can rest easy."

Her eagerness made Lin Xinlan smile involuntarily.

Once Xiaocong was out of her arms and in the housekeeper’s, he felt a little uncomfortable, "Mommy..."

He fiddled with his fingers anxiously, his unfocused eyes trying hard to find her direction.

Lin Xinlan held his face, kissed his cheek tenderly, and said softly, "Xiaocong, this is grandma. Grandma loves you just as much as grandma outside. You have to love grandma too. Stay with grandma for a while, and Mommy will be back soon."

He hesitated, then nodded his head, and tried to turn his face towards the housekeeper.

"Grandma, I’m thirsty. I want to drink water."

"Wait a moment, grandma will get you water right away," the housekeeper said hurriedly, seating him on the sofa and pouring water for him, then feeding him with her own hands.

"Good boy, is there anything else you want to eat? Would you like some cake? The cake here is delicious," she offered.

Xiaocong nodded, "Okay."

He hadn’t eaten much to begin with and was still hungry.

The housekeeper was thrilled and quickly instructed the servants to bring over the tastiest pastries and cakes.

Seeing that he was getting along well with the housekeeper, Lin Xinlan went upstairs to take a bath and change clothes.

She didn’t tell the housekeeper about what had happened that day.

There was no need to let her know. Even if she did, it wouldn’t help.

Besides, not knowing could also be a kind of happiness.

She decided to bear all the burdens alone; all the people she cared about just needed to have simple happiness.
