Chapter 23

Huo Jinlin knows that she means it, but keeps his mouth shut and says faintly, “I know, I’ll learn slowly.”

“Well, you can tell me anything, I’ll try to understand.”

Lin still isn’t accusing him either, she’s always known that between husband and wife, communication and trust are most important, and although they don’t have a relationship, she also hopes that the two of them can go the long haul.

Huo Jinlin is silent for a moment before speaking, “Old Qin and I do know each other, but not very well, we are all in the same company, I am valued by the company’s senior management and I am afraid that I will be promoted, so I accidentally bumped into Old Qin a couple of times, but I didn’t want people to gossip behind my back, so I thought it would be better to simply pretend that I don’t know him.”

“I see, then you should have told me earlier, I wouldn’t have blamed you.”

Lin still knew that he was afraid of people saying that he relied on connections to get to the top, so it was normal to think this way.

She didn’t doubt the authenticity of Huo Jinlin’s words in the slightest, but instead listened to him explain this and was pleasantly surprised in her heart, happy for him.

“You wait, I’ll cook right away and make you something delicious to celebrate.”

“No need, I’ll just settle for the ones you guys have left over, just eat whatever.”

Lin still doesn’t listen to him, and brainstorms all the delicious food in the refrigerator, “No, how can you just eat it, it’s a good thing, you have to celebrate it.”

Huo Jinlin was surprised, and did not realize that his own casual words, but let Lin still so troublesome, however, want to take back is also impossible, had to let her go.

Since childhood, independent Lin still has excellent cooking skills, not long after a few big dishes were made, in the room doing homework Lin Yi Yi all smelled out, saw the table colorful and fragrant several dishes, the heart is instantly unhappy, mouth toothed old high.

“Sister, you’re biased, how come I come back to eat the leftovers from noon, brother-in-law comes back and you cook so many delicious food for him, you really are married and forget about your sister.”

“You little girl, don’t talk nonsense, it’s your brother-in-law who is getting promoted, I thought of celebrating him in advance.”

Lin still blushed at her words and was busy explaining to her.

Once Lin Yi Yi hears this, her big round eyes come up to Huo Jin Lin’s face, “Brother-in-law, when you get promoted in the future, won’t you get more pay?”

Huo Jinlin knew what this little girl was calculating in her mind, but still answered her question seriously, “Well, yeah, the salary will definitely go up when you get promoted.”

“Oh oh,” the little girl cheered and clapped, “Then in the future you’ll be able to buy me more delicious food.”

Lin still heard this, her face instantly darkened: “Yi Yi, don’t let brother-in-law buy things for you, he doesn’t make money easily, you have to spend money economically.”

“Oh.”

Lin Yi Yi dragged a long tone, mischievously made a face at Huo Jinlin, fortunately, before Huo Jinlin secretly bought her things did not say to her sister, otherwise, she still does not know how long she will be chattering in her own ears!

It must be said that Lin still has excellent cooking skills, making spicy and delicious meals, Huo Jinlin has been eating for a while, and now he can’t even get used to eating other meals.

But he remembers that he’s going on a business trip soon, and still has to leave for a few days, and his stomach is a bit picky from being raised by Lin still during this time, so he probably won’t be accustomed to it when he goes out.

“These days I might have to work shifts, and I still need to be on night duty at night, so I won’t be coming back for a while, I’ll just rest directly over there during the day, so it’s more convenient.”

He couldn’t tell Lin still that he had to go on a business trip, so he could only find an excuse to cover it.

Lin remained puzzled, “Didn’t you say before that you didn’t need to work the night shift? Why do you want it now?”

“Oh, one of my coworkers took a leave of absence for something, so we need the remaining few of us to cover his shift.”

Huo Jinlin was used to lying after being with Lin still, and now that he’s telling lies, he actually doesn’t blush or skip a beat.

“Alright then, take care of yourself, I’ll pack up some food and necessities for you later.”

Lin is still used to Huo Jinlin’s presence as well, and suddenly he’s not there, so he might not be used to it either.

In fact, both of them are gradually getting used to each other’s presence, only that they are oblivious to each other.

“No need, I have everything over at the company, I don’t need to bring anything.”

Lin still packing things, while nagging: “that outside things which can have home good, or bring some, anyway, and not far, more with a little when you take a car well.”

Huo Jinlin looked at her big bags for him to pack, but did not feel annoyed at all, but felt warm in the heart.

But watching her pack more and more, Huo Jinlin still can’t help but remind: “I’m only going for a few days, and not not coming back, how to pack so much?”

Lin still feels like she’s become a nagging amah, she’s relentless in her instructions, looking at everything she feels like she has to bring for him.

“Where’s the more, just brought some commonly used ones, I still think it’s less!”

After the traveling gifts are packed up, the two Lin still sisters together send Huo Jinlin out the door, and Lin Yi Yi is obviously a bit reluctant to see him leave.

“Brother-in-law, can you not go ah, there’s no one to tutor me on my homework if you’re not there.”

“Yiyi, what are you talking about, brother-in-law is there to work, not to play, how can you not go if you want to?”

Lin Yi Yi muttered, “But I just can’t let go of my brother-in-law.”

Huo Jinlin had the driver drive the most ordinary car over to pick him up, lying that it was an online car he found on the internet, and Lin still didn’t get suspicious.

He put his luggage in the trunk, dotingly touched Lin Yi Yi’s hair and said, “Good boy, brother-in-law will be back in a few days, so listen to your sister at home.”

“Okay.”

Until the car disappeared around the corner, Lin Yi Yi still had a droopy face, not happy at all.

Lin still couldn’t help but tease her, “You’re too dependent on your brother-in-law, aren’t you, that’s not good.”

“Che,” Lin Yi Yi didn’t think so and deflated, “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, instead, it’s you who should rely on your brother-in-law more.”

Lin still stretched out her index finger and tapped her on the forehead, saying, “You child, quirky.”

The two sisters go upstairs laughing and joking, but Huo Jinlin’s side comes straight to Nanlin Yuan.

After all, he won’t be able to come back for a few days, so Huo Jinlin still comes over to tell grandma and the others so that they don’t worry, and to take a look at the two little ones in the meantime.

The two little ones who were hiding in the shadows overheard the news that he was going on a business trip, and were so excited that they wanted to sneak away to see their mom, so early the next morning, Huo Jinlin had just boarded the plane, and the two children at home avoided the maids and sneaked out.
