My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 880 - 891 Ending - 22

’Knock...’

Lin Xiangwan pressed the button on the right twice, then placed the phone back on the table.

"Why didn’t you answer?" Song Yichen asked.

"Oh, it was a wrong number!" Lin Xiangwan then picked up her juice again and took a couple of sips.

Song Yichen stared at her intensely. "It couldn’t be... are you mad at Qin Muchuan, and the caller was him?"

"Of course not!" Lin Xiangwan laughed.

"You’re lying!" Song Yichen stated with certainty.

"Why... why would you think that?"

He laughed. "Because I saw guilt in your eyes; you always look like that when you lie!"

Lin Xiangwan really wanted to laugh, as she seemed to have said the same thing to Shen Hanqian before.

It seems one must never lie to someone familiar, because they would see right through it.

Lin Xiangwan nodded. "Mhm, we did have some unpleasantness. But, it’s pretty normal among couples!"

"Pretty normal?" Song Yichen asked, puzzled.

"It’s like... all couples tend to have friction, get angry, hold grudges, sometimes even argue or fight. But all these don’t harm their feelings towards each other; they often strengthen the bond!"

"Hmm... I understand that, ’spare the rod and spoil the child’..." Song Yichen nodded.

"Exactly!"

"However, what exactly caused the misunderstanding between you two? I think if you’re pregnant now, Qin Muchuan should be accommodating you more, not making you upset, he’s at fault!" Song Yichen subtly demeaned Qin Muchuan.

He simply couldn’t control his emotions; he knew his behavior was petty.

But... it was all because that bastard Qin Muchuan had stolen his wife.

Otherwise, the child Lin Xiangwan was carrying would have been his.

Had he lost everything overnight?

He knew he was responsible.

But the price he paid was too great; there was no possibility of redemption.

Lin Xiangwan smiled. "We just had some disagreements and argued a bit. But it’s nothing serious; I think he will eventually give in to me!"

Song Yichen intentionally asked, "Could it be... you want this child, but he does not?"

"Of course not!"

"You’re lying again!" Song Yichen said.

Lin Xiangwan was a bit upset, her face turned cold. "Whether I lie or not is my business; I’ve already answered your question. Can you stop trying to contradict me, please?"

"Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to make you angry!"

"But you’ve already upset me!"

"Wanwan..." Song Yichen called with regret.

Lin Xiangwan held back her displeasure. "Let it go!"

Qin Muchuan called again; Lin Xiangwan answered. "Hello..."

"Where are you?" Qin Muchuan obviously sighed with relief.

"Outside!"

"Doing what?" Qin Muchuan asked again.

This touched Lin Xiangwan’s sore spot. "What? Are you keeping tabs on me? Or are you distrustful of me, thus interrogating me constantly?"

Qin Muchuan quickly clarified. "You should know that’s not what I mean!"

"Of course, I have things to do outside, I have work, and there’s no need to report back to you about everything!"

"Now that you’re pregnant, isn’t it? If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t be tracking your activities. It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that I’m really worried about you!" Qin Muchuan said calmly, his tone very even.

This only made Lin Xiangwan seem quick-tempered and childish.

So even if she was upset, she couldn’t show it. "Mhm, I understand!"

"Where are you now? I’ll come and pick you up!"

"No need!"

"Wanwan..."

Lin Xiangwan took a deep breath and spoke in a calm and even tone. "I’m serious, I drove out here. If you come to pick me up, what about my car? Going back and forth is just too much trouble!"

"Didn’t I tell you not to drive yourself, to let the driver do it?" Qin Muchuan said.

"But I still want to drive myself, I’m not that delicate. When I used to drive a Twitter car, I drove very well, let alone now with such a good car!" Lin Xiangwan said, a sweet smile appearing on her face.

"Fine! Then you drive yourself back!" Qin Muchuan compromised.

"Mhm!"

Lin Xiangwan ended the call.

Song Yichen smiled. "It seems he really is worried about you, always calling to track you, huh?"

"Hehe..." Lin Xiangwan laughed, not wanting to say more. "I’m leaving now!"

"I’ll walk you down!"

"Okay!"

Song Yichen acted the perfect gentleman, walking alongside Lin Xiangwan, and when they reached the door, he opened the private room door for her to go out first, then followed.

As soon as Lin Xiangwan stepped out, she froze.

Unexpectedly, she ran into... Qin Muchuan.

Qin Muchuan also appeared quite surprised when he saw Lin Xiangwan, as he too had just finished entertaining some people from the USA and was sending them off!

When he saw her, he stopped in his tracks, leaving the task of sending off the guests to his assistant.

Qin Muchuan’s gaze landed on Lin Xiangwan, who was a bit uneasy.

She didn’t know why she felt uneasy; she hadn’t done anything to wrong him.

But...

Song Yichen, seeing Qin Muchuan, was more than adept. "President Qin, what a coincidence to meet you here. Wanwan and I... um, Wanwan and I were just discussing some business matters!"

Qin Muchuan smiled and extended his hand, grasping the one Song Yichen offered. "It really is a coincidence. Wanwan didn’t tell me she was with you!"

Lin Xiangwan tried to steady herself as much as possible. "Um, my brother asked me to come here to discuss some hotel business. I didn’t know you were here. So, are you heading home now?"

Qin Muchuan nodded. "Of course, let’s go home together, my wife!"

He made a gesture for her to join his arm, which Lin Xiangwan did after a moment’s hesitation.

Song Yichen could only smile as he saw them off.

Once inside the car, Qin Muchuan’s expression turned somewhat sour, though he didn’t show her any displeasure or say anything unpleasant.

Yet Lin Xiangwan could feel that he was unhappy, very unhappy.

This low pressure made her uncomfortable, so she confronted him directly. "Just say it, what do you really mean, what do you want to know?"

"I don’t want to know anything, what’s wrong?" Qin Muchuan asked in return.

Lin Xiangwan couldn’t hold back anymore. "Isn’t it just because you saw me with my brother? What are you unhappy about? As if I’ve done something to wrong you? Qin Muchuan, let me tell you, you’ve done so many excessive things to me, whatever I do, you have no right to blame me!"

"Where did I blame you? Did I?" Qin Muchuan asked, looking particularly aggrieved.

Was he supposed to be thrilled to see her meeting her old flame?
