The Long-awaited Mr Han Chapter 1881 - No Closeness Beats Biological Ties

Chapter 1881: No Closeness Beats Biological Ties

Lu Man said softly, “I’m fine, Mom. To put it plainly, he’s not related to me at all. Why should I care?”

“Right.” Shen Nuo nodded.

Lin Liye was fuming. The family was harmonious and joyful, and that good relations.h.i.+p was being spoiled by Han Dongping.

What a sh*t-stirrer!

Not liking Han Dongping’s actions, Old Mrs. Han turned to Lu Man. “How’s your mother? Is she alright?”

Han Dongping suddenly recalled that Lu Man was no longer a sad little n.o.body.

She had a step-father called w.a.n.g Juhuai.

Thus, Han Dongping finally reined it in.

He was no longer going overboard, but he was not too enthusiastic either.

No matter what, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s the one and only daughter of the s.h.i.+ family.

As for Lu Man?

w.a.n.g Juhuai was only her step-father.

Now that Xia Qingwei’s about to deliver, w.a.n.g Juhuai would have his own flesh and blood, and he would cool down towards Lu Man.

No closeness beats biological ties, right?

“She’s great, rest a.s.sured. She recently went for a prenatal checkup. Her weight, blood sugar, and all other indicators fall within the acceptable range. She’s expected to deliver in about a month,” Lu Man said, smiling.

“That’s good.” Xia Qingwei’s pregnancy could be said to be a high-risk one.

Plus, she’s about to deliver, so everyone couldn’t help worrying.

Seeing that Han Dongping had toned it down, Old Mrs. Han then turned to s.h.i.+ Xiaoya. “Did Zhuoling perform fine when he went to your house yesterday?”

“Of course.” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s look that said “naturally” made everyone chuckle. “Mom and Dad like him so much.”

“Glad he didn’t fall short on courtesies.” Old Mrs. Han nodded happily. “Zhuoling’s not a sweet-talker like Zhuofeng. He’s the most reserved among us. I was just afraid that he wouldn’t know how to make your parents happy and go along with them.”

“No, my parents knew his character, and they even said he’s steady,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya replied.

Actually, Han Zhuoling was extremely conversational yesterday, making s.h.i.+ Guanzhong very happy in the process.

But s.h.i.+ Xiaoya felt that she could not say that here.

Han Zhuoling was so solemn at home, yet he’d easily humored her parents. No matter how genuine Old Mrs. Han was, she probably won’t be that comfortable hearing that.

Han Zhuoling could sense her thoughts in her words and he winked at her.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya returned his look, saying in her mind that she’s helping him.

Han Zhuoling smiled.

Everyone watched silently as they eyed each other, then observed that Han Zhuoling really liked s.h.i.+ Xiaoya.

When he looked at her, love oozed from all his pores.

When s.h.i.+ Xiaoya had just arrived, Old Mrs. Han had tightly restrained herself from pulling her away to discuss wedding dates.

They barely started dating; she didn’t want to scare her off.

If she did, Han Zhuoling would have nowhere to look for another girlfriend.

Things thankfully went well when he brought her home.

Everyone chatted a bit more after lunch, then left the house during the late afternoon to let the two elders rest.

Because Han Zhuofeng did not come, Lin Liye brought her own chauffeur.

At the gate, Han Xijin and Shen Nuo left first.

Han Zhuoli and Lu Man said their goodbyes to Lin Liye and the others.

After they departed, Lin Liye said to Han Zhuoling, “You send Xiaoya home. The chauffeur came with me.”

“Okay.” Han Zhuoling did not insist.

Han Dongping could have left earlier, but he purposely took his own sweet time walking around, refusing to leave.
