Marriage First, True Love Later Novel-Chapter 197
197 Forced to “relocate”
In the end, the Zhou family respected Lin Li’s wishes and didn’t hold a wedding for the time being. However, mother Zhou said that if Lin Li wanted to hold a wedding in the future, she would directly mention it. No matter when, the Zhou family would definitely make up for it!
After dinner, the few of them parted ways at the entrance of the hotel. Zhou han drove home with Lin Li, Mr. And Mrs. Lin. Mr. And Mrs. Zhou had a driver to pick them up. Mrs. Zhou was understanding that Mr. And Mrs. Lin were in Jiangcheng, so she wanted Lin Li and Zhou han to accompany the two elders to walk around for the next two days. As for the Zhou family’s child, Zhou Jiabin, she brought him back to the institution’s courtyard.
On the way back, father Lin and mother Lin were sitting in the back. Father Lin was probably too happy that night and had drunk a little too much. At this moment, he was holding mother Lin’s hand and saying unhappily, ” “Our Xiaoli really hit it off this time. Zhou han is better than Chengxiang, Zhou han is better than Chengxiang ...”
Mother Lin reached out her hand and patted father Lin. She was afraid that Zhou han would mind. She secretly cursed at this damn old man for being drunk and crazy at this time.
While she was scolding father Lin in her heart for saying something he shouldn’t have, she was also worried that Zhou han would overthink it. Mother Lin’s heart was beating like a drum as she looked towards the front seat. She smiled dryly and said, ” “Elder Lin, elder Lin is really drunk. He’s talking drunk, talking drunk ...”
Zhou han smiled and said with a normal expression, ” there’s some Hangover tea at home. It’s quite effective. Let dad have some when we get home, or he’ll have a headache tomorrow.
Seeing that he wasn’t overthinking things, she couldn’t help but sigh. Mother Lin was relieved. She smiled and said, ” “Ah han, you must have a lot of social events when you start your own company, right?”
Zhou han nodded and focused on the road ahead. He smiled and said, ” yes, I can’t avoid these social activities. Now, it’s basically all business at the dining table.
Mother Lin nodded and said with concern, ” “Then you have to be more careful in the future. Drinking too much will hurt your body.”
Zhou han nodded and suddenly freed one hand to grab Lin Li’s hand, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, and held it tightly. He smiled and said, ” I’m not afraid anymore. In the future, Lin Li will be by my side. She will make me some Hangover Tea.
Lin Li, who was originally in a daze, was unable to react when he suddenly grabbed her hand. She looked at his silly and cute expression in a daze.
Unlike Lin Li, mother Lin, who was behind him, laughed at Zhou Han’s words. Her smile widened as she said, ” yes, yes. Let Lin Li take care of you in the future, hehe.
Lin Li only reacted after a while. She glared at Zhou han from an angle that mother Lin couldn’t see and pulled her hand back.
Zhou han glanced at her and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
After returning home, Zhou han first helped father Lin to sit down on the sofa. Then, he went to the kitchen to get The Hangover Tea he usually used for father Lin to drink. After that, he helped him into the room.
Father Lin’s alcohol tolerance wasn’t good, but he was a good drinker. Other than the few words he said to mother Lin in the car, he didn’t do anything out of line and didn’t make a fuss. After drinking the tea, he fell asleep on the bed.
Mother Lin got some water and wrung a towel to help father Lin wipe his face, so that he could sleep more comfortably.
When mother Lin took out the basin from her room and was about to throw it away, she saw Lin Li standing alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window connecting the living room and the balcony. Her arms were crossed in front of her chest, and there wasn’t much expression on her face, making it difficult to read her emotions.
Mother Lin washed her face and placed it in the bathroom outside. When she came out of the bathroom, Lin Li was still standing in the same position, as if she hadn’t moved at all.
Mother Lin sighed softly and walked over to her. She reached out and patted her on the shoulder. Only then did Lin Li react. She turned her head and pulled the corners of her mouth into a smile. mom.
Mother Lin stood side by side with her, looking at the bonsai trees on the balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling window. The leaves gently fluttered in the night wind.
“Mom, aren’t you tired? why don’t you go back to your room to rest?” Lin Li asked softly.
Mother Lin didn’t earn enough, so she asked Lin Li, ” “Did Zhou han go into the study again?”
I’m done, ” Lin Li nodded and said casually. I still have some things to deal with.
Mother Lin nodded and didn’t say anything else. She just looked outside with a serious expression.
Seeing that her mother was no longer speaking, Lin Li didn’t know what to say. She didn’t say anything more and turned her head to look outside.
She didn’t know how long had passed. Although mother Lin didn’t turn around, she slowly said, ” “Lin Li, you still can’t forget about Chengxiang, right?” Mother Lin spoke very calmly, her tone so calm that there was no fluctuation in her emotions.
Hearing this, Lin Li’s heart trembled, and she hurriedly said, ” “No, I didn’t.” 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢
No matter how nice her words were, her actions would betray everything. Lin Li’s hand, which she didn’t know where to place, betrayed her emotions.
Mother Lin turned her head and saw the faint smile on Lin Li’s face. She reached out to hold Lin Li’s hand and said gently, ” silly girl, how can you forget a relationship of ten years so easily? why force yourself to pretend that nothing happened? ”
I ... Lin Li turned her head and didn’t dare to look at her. She only stubbornly said in a low voice, ” I didn’t. I’ve really forgotten.
A mother knows her daughter best. How could she not know if she had really forgotten about mother Lin? when she mentioned Chengxiang in the car just now, her expression had changed, and the change was so obvious. It would be strange if she had really forgotten about it. Furthermore, Zhou han must have noticed it just now, so he probably grabbed her hand to snap her back to reality. She was glad that Zhou han could be so understanding and tolerant, and she also believed that with Zhou Han’s tolerance and love, she would not be able to forget. Even if Lin Li still couldn’t forget the 10-year relationship in her heart, she would really let it go one day. When she thought about it again, she could just smile and let it go.
Seeing her insist that she didn’t, mother Lin didn’t say anything more. She pulled her by the hand and led her to her room.
At first, Lin Li was still immersed in her own emotions. After her mother took her back to her room, Lin Li came back to her senses and looked at mother Lin in a daze, somewhat puzzled. mom, why are you taking me back to my room? do you have something to tell me? ”
Mother Lin glanced at her and pushed open the door of her wardrobe. She pointed at the clothes inside and said, ” “Go, pack up all these and move over.”
“Move!” Lin Li was even more puzzled and asked,”move to where?” f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎
Mother Lin glared at her and poked her on the forehead. She scolded her with a smile, where else can I move to? of course, I’ll move to your room and Zhou Han’s room!
“Ah!” Lin Li was shocked and quickly waved her hands to explain, ” “No, no, we, we’re good like this, very good. It’s not so troublesome to move them around.”
“What nonsense are you saying!” Mother Lin chided, ” you’re already husband and wife, why are you still sleeping in separate rooms? if there are guests coming over, wouldn’t you be laughed at? if your in-law’s mother sees this and says that you don’t like Zhou han being busy until late at night every day and disturbing your sleep, what do you think your in-law’s mother will think? ”
I ... Lin Li opened her mouth to explain, but she realized that her words were too weak. There was nothing that could be explained at all. All the reasons had been told to Zhou han, and she could only continue to follow his story to smooth out these lies.
Sighing, mother Lin said with a heavy heart, ” “Xiao Li, now that you’re married, you’re a wife and a daughter-in-law. There are many things that can’t be the same as before. It’s fun for couples to quarrel occasionally, and the husband will side with you because he loves you. But you can’t be stubborn or paranoid. It’s not good if you go too far.”
“I, I didn’t ... It’s not what you think!” Lin Li was helpless. She really couldn’t explain it clearly now.
Mother Lin thought that she was just throwing a tantrum and continued, ” Xiao Li, listen to mommy. It’s not easy for two people to be together and become husband and wife. It’s a blessing from their previous lives. We have to cherish it. The relationship between husband and wife is only love or whatever feelings or passion you guys are talking about. It’s not reliable and won’t last long. You have to understand, understand, and tolerate. Put yourself in each other’s shoes. Don’t always only care about your own emotions and live life with a stumbling tone. Isn’t it better for two people to understand each other and think for each other? ”
Lin Li didn’t know what else to say. She never knew that her mother could actually say so much about the relationship between husband and wife. She was almost as good as those relationship experts on TV and radio!
Seeing that she didn’t respond, Mrs. Lin pushed her back and said, ” “Don’t just smile like a fool. Did you hear what I said?”
Lin Li laughed dryly and nodded. She could only say perfunctorily, ” yes, I heard it. I heard it. She had no choice but to listen. If she didn’t, her mother would probably continue talking to her.
Mother Lin nodded in satisfaction. She pulled her and said, ” “Quick, pack up and move the things over.” As she said that, she began to take out Lin Li’s clothes from the closet.
Seeing this, Lin Li could only reach out and press her aching temple.
After sitting in the study room for nearly two hours, Zhou han finally finished all the unfinished work. He massaged his sore neck and walked out of the study room.
The study room wasn’t far from the master bedroom. He reached out to open the door and entered. As he was really tired after a whole day, Zhou han didn’t notice that the bathroom light was on at this moment. He walked straight to the bed and took off his coat. He took his pajamas from the cloakroom and headed to the bathroom tiredly.
He didn’t think much about it and directly opened the door to enter. The moment he opened the door, he smelled the misty fragrance of shower gel. He subconsciously frowned and realized that something was wrong. When he looked up, he met a pair of big eyes that were a little dumbfounded at the moment!
