Lin Xiangwan gave him a big roll of her eyes.

That jerk, how could he say her job had no prospects for growth? But currently, she was making good money.

"Wife, I’m serious. With the time you have, you might as well do something with more prospects for development! Like opening a kindergarten, or various tutoring schools. It would be so much more convenient and easier when our kids need tutoring!" Qin Muchuan said offhandedly.

Lin Xiangwan frowned. "No way, I’m actually a person who really hates studying. I don’t want my future life to be entangled with schools..."

Qin Muchuan laughed. "Really? You hate studying, yet you got into B University. If you loved studying, where would you end up going?"

Lin Xiangwan rested her chin in one hand. "Not liking reading doesn’t mean I didn’t study hard. It took me a lot of effort to get into B University. You have to understand, with my background, if I didn’t get into a prestigious university, I wouldn’t have been able to study at all. If it weren’t for my good grades, Song Dad wouldn’t have adopted me as his beneficiary!"

"Are Song Yichen’s parents nice to you? Do they treat you like family?" Qin Muchuan asked carefully.

All this time they had been married, they never had the chance to discuss her upbringing. Of course, that was also because she never gave him the opportunity—she never brought it up herself.

He also feared she wasn’t willing to revisit those memories.

Lin Xiangwan truly reflected. "Actually, I used to hate them. They weren’t very nice to me at first, bringing me to the Song family, only to end up arguing over me often, especially Song Mom. She always suspected Song Dad..."

Lin Xiangwan found it hard to continue.

Qin Muchuan’s brows knitted in confusion. "Suspected you were Song Yichen’s dad’s illegitimate daughter? Or suspected he had improper intentions toward you?"

Feeling quite ashamed, Lin Xiangwan nodded. "A bit of both, I suppose? But it was mostly suspicions about Song Dad having improper thoughts. She always looked at me with those eyes, as if in her view, I was some kind of siren always seducing her husband without wearing any clothes. In reality, throughout my growing years, I wore nothing but the school uniform. You have to know, at that age, the uniforms were sportswear, not as nice as they are now. It was the same tracksuit all year round. Besides, I was a very timid girl, especially under that kind of mental torment from Song Mom. I felt like I could never lift my head and always kept it down. I would sneak glances at everyone, and even during class, I’d only look at the teacher when they weren’t looking at me. The moment the teacher’s gaze fell on my face, I would immediately lower my head..."

"Poor girl!" Qin Muchuan couldn’t help but feel sorry for her, and raised his palm towards her.

Signaling her to place her small hand in his.

Smiling like a little kitten, Lin Xiangwan sat next to him and placed her hand in his. "But you don’t need to worry. I think I’m exceptionally resilient, and my mindset is very healthy. I won’t be easily defeated by others; I am determined to live better than them, and I will break free from my current situation. I kept telling myself, I had to study hard. Only by getting into a good university could I change my fate!"

"Ah..." Qin Muchuan sighed deeply. "There’s actually another way to change yourself—by becoming my wife. Oh, wife, if only I had known earlier that you were my wife. I would never have let you suffer so much. I would cherish you by holding you in the palm of my hand, not letting anyone bully you!"

Lin Xiangwan wrinkled her nose. "Don’t talk nonsense. If you can do that in the future, hold me in the palm of your hand, that’ll do."

"My heart aches, I’m serious!"

"It’s okay. ’The heavens impose great tasks on people, they must first suffer hardships...’ If it weren’t for those circumstances, I might not have been able to get into B University, right? You know I’m not that smart a girl, I diligently studied myself to death to get in!"

"You’re being modest. It was a combination of innate talent and hard work, otherwise it wouldn’t have been so easy!"

"Thank you!"

"Go on, keep talking. After you got into B University, what about Song Yichen’s mother? Didn’t she cause you trouble, stopping you from attending?"

"Yeah, she didn’t want me to go, but... Of course, my background was quite typical at the time. You know Song Yichen’s dad was a leader, right? Adopting me was partly for showing off achievements, so they had to send me to university, no matter what!" Lin Xiangwan frowned and sounded a bit guilty. "Back then I was quite radical. Even though they supported me, I didn’t thank them. But thinking about it now, I was indeed lucky they supported me, and I should be grateful!"

"Forget it, like you said, they were only doing it for their image!" Qin Muchuan didn’t want Lin Xiangwan to feel obliged to thank them.

"It’s not right to say it like that. I am still luckier than most, otherwise, as of today, I might be unable to even resolve my own food and shelter issues!"

Qin Muchuan glared at her. "Even so, you’ve already expressed your gratitude enough. Otherwise, at this rate, Song Yichen probably wouldn’t even be in this world anymore, and you’ve done enough for them!"

Lin Xiangwan could tell that the man was jealous. "Sure, I did that for him, but I still should be grateful where gratitude is due!"

"I just don’t want you to keep thinking about them."

"Heh!" Lin Xiangwan laughed.

"So, do you want to know who your parents are?"

Lin Xiangwan was taken aback, showing little interest. "Whether I have parents or not, I’ve grown up so much. Whether or not I find them, it’s not important anymore!"

Qin Muchuan spoke with a sense of guilt. "I’ve been helping you look for them, but there’s not a single clue. Do you have any leads you could tell me about?"

Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "Really, there’s none!"

"The family that adopted you said you were brought to them by someone, but that person apparently wasn’t your biological parent, just a friend or a retainer of your father’s!" Qin Muchuan explained.

"A retainer? Then my dad must be quite formidable, to even have a retainer!" Lin Xiangwan smiled.

"Back then they were really strict about the one-child policy. I guess they had no choice. After all, they did get you a household registration. You have to know, getting a B city hukou is not easy!" He had also gone to the household registration department, but after more than twenty years, the person who had registered Wanwan had retired and moved abroad for their retirement, and was untraceable.

"Hehe..." Lin Xiangwan laughed heartily. "I’ve always thought I was a child born out of wedlock to my parents!"

Qin Muchuan smiled. "It seems finding your parents is indeed a technical challenge. But I believe that as people get older, they yearn for the past, and they must be looking for you too!"

Lin Xiangwan still wasn’t in the mood. "Maybe!"
