My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 567 - 574 Redundant People_1

Qin Muchuan looked at her emotionlessly, then asked quite seriously, "If it doesn’t become a big scandal, would you still choose to divorce?"

"Of course I would!"

Qin Muchuan laughed self-mockingly. "Well, if you are determined to divorce, why not make it a big spectacle and create a worldwide sensation?"

Lin Xiangwan hadn’t planned on broadcasting her divorce to the world. She was just trying to frighten him. "Are you eager to cause a sensation?"

Qin Muchuan nodded. "Huatai is listed in the USA. This could significantly impact Huatai’s Nasdaq index. You know that Westerners and Chinese think differently. A marital dispute might cause Huatai’s stocks to plunge in China, but it would be different abroad. Foreigners would see my divorce as a sign that I’ll remarry, potentially to someone from a larger corporation. This could be a chance for Huatai to grow stronger. Generally, this situation would definitely cause Huatai’s stocks to rise in the US."

After listening to him, Lin Xiangwan felt like retching. Could this man be any more shameless? "Like a true businessman, even planning to profit from a divorce!"

"Well, you could say that!" He didn’t look offended at all.

Lin Xiangwan fell silent. She realized that this man probably had no feelings for her at all.

Seeing her silence, Qin Muchuan continued, "Actually, there’s no need for you to divorce me. Believe me when I say that, no matter what I do with other women, I would never leave you."

Lin Xiangwan found his statement ridiculous and hard to understand, "Why, if you and Zhou Ziqing are so close, aren’t you together?"

Qin Muchuan stared out the window, a carefree look on his face. "Just because you love someone doesn’t mean you have to marry them. Being together is enough. You are the biological mother of Tongtong and Ranran, and I have no reason to divorce you and marry someone else, making them live with a stepmother."

"So, you’re considering the children’s feelings?" Lin Xiangwan asked sarcastically.

"Yes!" Qin Muchuan answered shamelessly. "I lost my mother at a young age, and I deeply understand what a mother means to a child. I can’t let my children grow up feeling that loss. They must live happily! So, I urge you to focus on finding your own happiness instead of concentrating on divorce!"

"You seem very certain that if you don’t initiate the divorce, I can’t do it either!" Lin Xiangwan retorted.

"It seems I do have that ability!" Qin Muchuan was not at all shy about touting his own capabilities.

"Then let’s wait and see if I can get that divorce!" She said confidently.

Truth be told, she didn’t know if Xiao Qingye could find influential people to help her, but she wasn’t going to back down without a fight.

Lin Xiangwan didn’t even realize that they had arrived home at their ancestral residence. As the car stopped, the two children who were playing in the yard opened the car door for her and called for her to get out.

Lin Xiangwan looked at her kids, their faces dirty from playing outside, and felt a moment of disorientation.

They were so happy now, but what if they became children without parents? Would they still be this happy then?

Probably not!

"Mom, I finished all my homework today!" Lin Haoran chimed in, trying to gain praise. "I should get a reward!"

Tongtong patted her brother’s head. She lectured him like a teacher, "You do your homework for yourself, not for mom, and certainly not to impress mom. Why should you get a reward for something you should be doing anyway?"

Ranran rubbed the top of his head, feeling unjustly accused. "But, I’ve been so good today. I should get a reward to motivate me to be even better in the future!"

Tongtong shook her head, disappointed. "If you want a reward for everything you do, you’ll become complacent. What will you accomplish in the future with that kind of attitude? Probably nothing!"

"Hmph!" Lin Haoran dismissed her critique.

He felt that he was already quite successful. After all, he had an income of over 30,000 each month, while his sister’s salary rarely exceeded 20,000. The facts spoke volumes about who was doing better.

Lin Xiangwan held each of her children’s hands, forcing a smile to hide her heartache. "You both are doing great. Ranran, keep up the good work. If you can consistently finish your homework early for two weeks, I’ll reward you. And, of course, the consistently well-behaved Tongtong will have a reward next week!"

"Thanks, Mom!" Tongtong was excited.

Lin Haoran saluted, reassuring her, "Don’t worry, chief. I’ll complete the mission!"

"Sure..."

Then, with her children supporting her, she walked towards the swing. There, to her astonishment, she spotted Duoduo lying on the swing.

Quickly stepping forward, she cradled DuoDuo in her arms. She anxiously asked the maid, and Ranran and Tongtong, "Who put her here? What if she fell off the swing?"

"No... no!" Duoduo gestured wildly with her hands. "Auntie!"

Feeling overwhelmed by Duoduo’s call, Lin Xiangwan handed the child back to the nanny. "Take her to her room, it’s time she rested."

"No... Auntie..." Duoduo tried to rush back into her arms.

Lin Xiangwan left with Ranran and Tongtong, forcing herself to ignore the child.

She was just an ordinary woman. She couldn’t afford to play the fool or act as the saint. She wasn’t that noble. She was selfish and narrow-minded.

Ranran and Tongtong, who had witnessed their mother’s actions, couldn’t understand or approve of her behavior.

Once they reached a secluded place, Ranran tugged at his mother’s hand. "Mom, why don’t you like Duoduo anymore? Why did you push her away?"

Faced with her child’s question, Lin Xiangwan felt a bit awkward. "We have to take care of ourselves first and only help others when we have the ability to. Right now, Mom doesn’t have the energy."

"But being nice to Duoduo doesn’t take much energy!" Tongtong softly objected. "Mom, you were wrong just now when you pushed Duoduo away."

Her children’s words left a bitter taste in Lin Xiangwan’s mouth. Family ties were indeed stronger. The bond between her children and Duoduo was probably stronger than the one they shared with her. "Do you guys really like her that much?" she asked.

"Yes," Ranran nodded.

Tongtong added, "Though Duoduo looks a bit odd, it’s just her appearance. She’s smart and alert. I like Duoduo a lot! Mom, can we still play with Duoduo?"

Lin Xiangwan was starting to feel like she was the odd one out. freewebnoveℓ.com
