“It’s not about being close. When it comes to your child, there are no strangers,.” Lin Yi Chen gritted his teeth.
Hearing this, Jiang Wan Yu’s initial 70% certainty had now increased to 90%.
Her back straightened, and she stared at Lin Yi Chen, her voice cold, “I don’t know when our relationship became so intimate, Mr. Lin.”
“Xiaoyu, do you have to be so prickly when talking to me?” Lin Yi Chen smiled wryly.
He genuinely regretted it now. During the time when he had to speak harshly to her, she had never treated him this way. But now, it seemed like she was bursting with resentment every time they spoke.
Hearing this, Jiang Wan Yu smiled faintly and replied, “Mr. Lin, you’re overthinking it again. We’re practically strangers now. Why would I be prickly when talking to you?”
This only added to Lin Yi Chen’s frustration. The strange atmosphere between them even caught the attention of Dian Dian, who kept shifting her gaze between them.
Then his gaze fell upon Jiang Wan Yu.
“Mom is usually very gentle. Why does she sound so harsh and cold when talking to this uncle?” He couldn’t help but wonder.
Just then, Yi Lingfeng arrived.
Seeing Lin Yi Chen, he squinted his eyes, a hint of disgust and hostility flickering in his gaze. However, he quickly composed himself, wearing an eager expression as he walked briskly toward Jiang Wan Yu and Dian Dian.
“Wan Yu, Dian Dian! I’m here!” Yi Lingfeng reached the bedside and leaned down to look at the mother and son.
“Daddy!” Dian Dian saw Yi Lingfeng and immediately wanted to open her arms for a hug.
Jiang Wan Yu intervened in time and said, “Dian Dian, don’t move too much. You’re still receiving an IV.”
Dian Dian reluctantly withdrew his arms.
On the side, Lin Yi Chen, upon hearing his son call Yi Lingfeng “Daddy,” had a face as dark as ink.
This brat! He raised him for a whole year!
And now, he recognized a thief as his father. But he couldn’t say anything right now.
Meanwhile, Jiang Wan Yu subconsciously glanced at Lin Yi Chen’s face when she saw his expression.
Seeing his extremely unpleasant expression, she couldn’t help but lower her head.
In her heart, she cynically smiled: Although I don’t know why Dian Dian is his son, the one who abandoned Dian Dian is undoubtedly him, Lin Yi Chen. So, why is he wearing that expression now?
As she was lost in thought, Yi Lingfeng turned to look at Lin Yi Chen.
“Mr. Lin, why are you here?” Yi Lingfeng feigned surprise.
However, Lin Yi Chen didn’t believe that Yi Lingfeng had no idea why he was here.
“It seems you’ve conveniently forgotten about last night,” Lin Yi Chen sneered.
As the words fell, the atmosphere between these two equally powerful men instantly became tense and confrontational.
Yi Lingfeng remembered the interrupted incident from last night, and his expression turned colder. “Oh, I remember now, thanks to you Mr. Lin’s timely intervention, I was able to recover properly.”
He heavily emphasized the phrase “timely intervention.”
Lin Yi Chen couldn’t help but hear the implication.
If he hadn’t appeared last night, Yi Lingfeng would never have let Jiang Wan Yu go so easily.
His expression turned furious.
“Mr. Yi, you’re being too polite. It’s just fortunate that I arrived in time last night,” Lin Yi Chen said with a cold tone.
Yi Lingfeng thought of the good deed that had been interrupted last night, and his expression turned even colder. “Well, I’m relieved that you could help us out. By the way, I just don’t know why you suddenly appeared at our house last night.”
“Our house?” Lin Yi Chen’s gaze shot over.
“Yes, Mr. Lin, didn’t you know that Wan Yu and I are already married?” Yi Lingfeng feigned surprise.
