Chapter 12

“I know, you find a way to get this done as soon as possible.”

Huo Jinlin does things decisively and doesn’t like to drag his feet, especially towards this helplessness of Lin Tianjun, he’s too lazy to maneuver with him.

“Good.”

Lawyer Fang was originally from the company’s legal department, Huo Jinlin had given the word, so he naturally understood the importance of this matter.

Hanging up the phone, Huo Jinlin didn’t hesitate and drove straight home, Lin still had already returned, her small figure was busy in the kitchen.

Huo Jinlin has never experienced this kind of life before, and now the rented room, which is permeated with a bit of smoke and fire everywhere, makes him feel a warmth he’s never felt before.

“Brother-in-law, you’re back?”

Seven-year-old Lin Yi Yi is sitting in front of her desk writing her homework, her tiny eyebrows wrinkled like two caterpillars, and the moment she looks up and sees Huo Jinlin, she immediately stretches out.

Lin still busy in the kitchen sniffs and pokes her head out, “You’re back, come in, what are you doing at the door?”

With an apron tied around her body and a spatula in her hand, for the first time, a strange feeling crossed Huo Jinlin’s heart.

“Uh-huh.”

Huo Jinlin returns to his senses, changes his shoes and walks in, seeing that Lin still has her hair down, the injury on her forehead covered.

He pretends not to know, feigning carelessness as he asks, “How was your day? Did you go and find a lawyer?”

“Well, I’ve looked for one,” Lin still came out of the kitchen with a plate of freshly fried dishes, “The lawyers have also met with Lin Tianjun and the others, everything is in order, thank you for recommending the lawyers.”

In order to avoid them worrying, Lin still didn’t mention the fact that Xin Caidie and Lin Tianjun made a scene at the cafe and that she was injured.

Huo Jinlin doesn’t break it up either, and says lightly, “We’re husband and wife, your business is my business, there’s no need to say thank you between the two of us.”

Lin still has a warm feeling in her heart, knowing her situation well, if it were any other man, he would only feel that it’s a burden, only he is still silently giving her support.

“Let’s eat,” she brings up the dishes, and shouts in the direction of the room, “Yi Yi, come out and wash your hands for dinner.”

Seeing that she keeps her mouth shut about the reality of her injury, Huo Jinlin is not in a good position to reveal his identity as a lawyer, so he can only continue to feign ignorance.

After dinner, Lin Yi Yi keeps giving Huo Jin Lin a wink, Huo Jin Lin has to stiffly propose washing the dishes again, Lin still remembers the broken bowls, which are still a bit painful, so she has to awkwardly refuse.

“You’d better go help Yi Yi with her homework, I’ll just wash the dishes, or else you’ll have to pay for them if you break them.”

Seeing that he was disliked, Lin Yi Yi spat out her tongue mischievously and pulled him to her room.

Lin Yi Yi’s grades aren’t bad, and she can do most of the questions on her own, so Huo Jinlin accompanies her as she writes them, and only explains to her if there’s something she doesn’t know how to do.

“Brother-in-law, how do I write this question? Brother-in-law ……”

Noticing that he was lost in thought, Lin Yi Yi called out to him a few times before Huo Jin Lin came back to his senses.

“Brother-in-law, what are you thinking about? I called you a few times but didn’t respond, you have something on your mind?”

“Nothing, which question don’t you know, I’ll teach you.”

Huo Jinlin is extraordinarily uncomfortable being looked straight at by her, and hurriedly shifts his sight to her book, this girl is ghostly and strange.

As expected, Lin Yi Yi sneakily poked her head out and saw that Lin was still cleaning up the table, not paying attention to their side.

Only then did she whisper to Huo Jinlin: “Sister was injured, her forehead was bleeding, she was treating the wound when I came back in the afternoon, and she wouldn’t let me tell you for fear of you worrying.”

Huo Jinlin has known about this matter for a long time, but in order to keep the sisters from getting suspicious, he still feigns surprise and blames Lin Yi Yi.

“Is your sister seriously injured? Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Lin Yi Yi looked aggrieved and deflated, “My sister didn’t let me tell you, I’ve become a traitor now, and you’re even lecturing me.”

“Do the questions yourself first, I’ll go out and buy her some medicine.”

Huo Jinlin got up with a clamor and walked straight out, Lin Yi Yi glanced at her with a crooked head, smiled badly and continued to bury her head in her homework.

Lin still didn’t know that Lin Yi Yi had already rebelled so quickly, and when she saw Huo Jinlin come out of the room with a sullen face and open the door straight away, she was puzzled in her mind.

She was thinking of mopping the floor and going to ask Lin Yi Yi about it, but before she had time, Huo Jinlin came back, holding a large bag of medicine in his hand.

“Hurry over to treat the wound.”

Huo Jinlin’s tone is forceful as he pulls Lin still to sit on the sofa, gently ruffling the hair on her forehead, and the long wound is revealed.

The two of them leaning so close for the first time, Lin still seems to be able to smell that special male scent on Huo Jinlin’s body, and she instantly gets ready to get up with some embarrassment.

“It’s fine, the wound isn’t deep, I’ve already treated it this afternoon.”

“Don’t move,” Huo Jinlin ignores her words and forcefully presses her shoulders to sit down, directly taking a cotton swab and treating the wound for her, just looking at the long gash, his tone can’t help but soften a few points, “How is it, does it still hurt?”

His concerned tone of voice made Lin still’s eyes sore, her taut nerves instantly loosened up, and her tears, like short strings of beads, crackled and fell.

Since Xu Juan fell ill, she has become the pillar of the family, large and small things she has to worry about, but also from time to time to withstand Lin Tianjun and Xin Caidie’s bad words, the heart also feel aggrieved.

Huo Jinlin had never gotten along with a woman before, and encountered this situation for the first time, so he was scared that he didn’t know what to do for a while.

Lin Yi Yi in the room hears the commotion outside and sticks her head out to take a look, just in time to meet Huo Jinlin’s expression of being at a loss for words, and she hastens to secretly direct Huo Jinlin to pacify Lin still.

“Alright, alright, don’t cry, everything is with me!”

He draws a tissue and tenderly wipes Lin still’s tears for her, not realizing that this time Lin still cries even harder.

Huo Jinlin didn’t know what to do, so he could only look up at Lin Yi Yi, and under her command, he took Lin still into his arms and patted her back.

Lin YiYi’s emotions erupted in an instant, and she directly fell into Huo JinLin’s arms and cried until she couldn’t catch her breath.

This moment is not about love, it’s just that all these years of grievances and uncertainty have finally found a harbor to talk about.

Huo Jinlin has been gently patting her back, comforting her with the words, “Don’t worry, no matter what happens, there’s still me.”

When Lin still tired of crying, she looked up only to see a large wet patch on Huo Jinlin’s clothes, and she was a bit embarrassed.

“I’m sorry ah, let you see the joke, take off your clothes, I’ll wash them for you.”

The air is filled with a scent of embarrassment, and Huo Jinlin is also a bit uncomfortable, “It’s fine, just cry it out.”
