Chapter 217 Stay, Don't Leave
"Come in and sit down," Mu Chaoran said calmly, "How can I let the elders sit outside in the cold wind without even a sip of tea?"
Father Lin answered loudly, "We are here to take Xige home. At first, we wanted to wait until daybreak to go to the Imperial Garden to look for her. We didn't expect her to appear here, so we met by chance. Now we have decided to go back to the Lin family earlier and not go to the Imperial Garden."
"Yes," Lin's mother nodded, "I want to take my daughter to the Lin family first to recognize her ancestors."
The family just wants to be together.
I totally forgot...
Mu Chaoran is also half a member of the Lin family.
He is the son-in-law of the Lin family!
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law," Mu Chaoran said politely, "How can you come to your son-in-law's house and not enter? If this gets out, where will my face be?"
Father Lin and Mother Lin looked at each other.
This is indeed the case.
Did they just take Lin Xige away and return to the Lin family, regardless of Mu Chaoran's thoughts and situation?
Not to mention that Mu Chaoran is Lin Xige's legal husband. In fact, they really want to know how Lin Xige's identity was discovered.
Li Fang would definitely not reveal a single word.
How did the matter of the swapping of two baby girls come to light after so many years?
How did Mu Chaoran know that Lin Xige was the daughter of the Lin family.
And why...would he marry Lin Xige?
Full of doubts.
"Please come in." Mu Chaoran leaned over. "I have prepared hot tea and snacks. My father-in-law and mother-in-law have been sitting outside for so long. They are cold. They need to warm themselves up. Especially mother-in-law, you fainted just now. Please take care of yourself."
Lin's father and mother did not answer, but looked at Lin Xige.
They respected her opinion.
She was going to the Imperial Garden, so the whole family would go.
If she wants to go back to the Lin family, then she should go back immediately.
Lin Xige looked at Mu Chaoran.
The man who sleeps next to her pillow every night seems familiar, yet strange.
She knew that if she wanted to go back to the Lin family, her parents would definitely take her back.
Mu Chaoran couldn't stop her either.
But things will not end just because Lin Xige returns to the Lin family.
She is not only the daughter of the Lin family, but also Mu Chaoran's wife.
She is also the mother of the child in her belly.
"...Okay." Lin Xige responded, "Let's go sit in the Imperial Garden first."
She stretched out her hands and held Lin's father and mother in her left and right hands respectively.
"Dad, Mom," she said, "I will return to the Lin family. There is a long way to go. There is no need to rush. We have already met and recognized each other. We will be together in the future and can contact each other at any time."
Say this to your parents and also to Mu Chaoran.
Lin Xige is very determined to return to the Lin family.
Mu Chaoran couldn't keep her.
He could hold her back for a while, but he couldn't hold her back forever.
In the past, she had been fighting against him alone, relying only on the love he gave her.
Now, she has a background, a backer, and biological parents who love her.
Lin Xige is no longer alone.
She took a step forward and walked towards the gate of the Imperial Garden.
but……
Lin's father and mother beside him stood still, as if their feet were nailed to the spot.
"Xige, what did you call me just now?" Mother Lin looked at her expectantly and excitedly, "Call me again?"
Father Lin also had tears in his eyes.
"I call you mom and dad," Lin Xige raised the corners of her lips and smiled, "You are my biological parents, what else can I call you."
Mother Lin followed her smile and kept saying, "Hey! Hey! Good child!"
Father Lin turned his back.
He wiped his eyes quickly.
After all, it's a bit embarrassing that he is so old and still crying.
Mother Lin looked at Lin Xige and kept laughing.
Lin Xige reached out and patted Lin's father on the shoulder: "Dad, let's go."
"Okay, okay," Father Lin nodded, "Let's go."
At this moment, the family was truly reunited.
After learning about her life story, Lin Xige had imagined many times how she would reunite with her biological parents.
She thought it would be at the Lin family, or in the Imperial Garden.
She thought that she would be fully prepared under everyone's gaze and call out "Mom and Dad" twenty-five years late.
But I didn't expect that we would meet on such an ordinary morning.
Outside, on the trail, completely caught off guard.
Compared to the grand ceremony of recognition of relatives, Lin Xige returned to her own family in such a plain way.
But she didn't feel like something was missing, instead she was very satisfied.
Because this morning, the reason we were able to recognize each other was because of the love from Father and Mother Lin.
After fainting, Lin's mother was admitted to the hospital. She should have had a good rest, but she voluntarily sat on the path outside the Imperial Garden before dawn, waiting for dawn, waiting to see her daughter.
Lin's father accompanied us throughout the whole process without a single complaint.
It’s great, it’s great, Lin Xige thought, there are two more people in this world who love her.
The thought flashed through her mind, and she was very happy at first, but two seconds later, she was suddenly stunned.
Why did she feel that there were “two more” people loving her?
Subconsciously, she acknowledged Mu Chaoran's love for her.
Lin Xige raised her eyes, looking for Mu Chaoran.
He just stood there, silent but with a strong presence.
Seeing her looking towards him, he quickly met her gaze.
Eyes facing each other.
"Xige," he said slowly, "The Lin family is your home, and this is also your home."
Stay, don't go.
She could have two homes.
Lin Xige did not answer, but looked away and walked slowly towards the Imperial Garden.
She always walked side by side with Lin's father and mother, leaving Mu Chaoran walking alone in front.
His back revealed a deep sense of loneliness and solitude.
Mu Chaoran has always been alone.
The height is not cold.
Many people are watching him, and he has to deal with a lot of complicated work and interpersonal relationships. There are wolves in front and tigers behind. He doesn't know what it feels like to be with both of them.
Until he married Lin Xige.
The days seemed to have regained their brilliance.
Only then did Mu Chaoran realize that life could be lived this way.
But now, is he going back to his own world, with no one around him?
Having enjoyed the companionship of each other, how can we go back to loneliness?
Lin Xige looked at Mu Chaoran's back and thought about his life experience.
Before he met her, his life must have been very boring.
She seemed... seemed to feel a little sympathetic towards him.
Lin Xige gritted her teeth and suppressed the thought.
She sympathizes with him, but who will sympathize with her?
She was deceived by him and kept in the dark for so long, and was even used by him!
Imperial garden, living room.
Steaming hot tea was placed on the coffee table, and Mu Chaoran personally poured tea for Lin's father and mother.
"Dad, Mom," he said, "please have some tea."
He changed his words very familiarly and naturally, following Lin Xige's lead.
