my own sweetheart

Chapter 166 The Old Man Keeps His Promise (2)
Lin Hao followed Mu Qinghua's gaze, laughed and said, "Look at what I'm talking about, I forgot to introduce you, this is my lover, Xia Zhiwan."

Mu Qinghua's face changed drastically when he heard that, "Xia Zhiwan!"

"Ah! That's right!" Lin Hao didn't pay attention to the change in Mu Qinghua's expression, and turned his head to Xia Zhiwan and said, "Zhiwan, this is Qingchen's younger brother! Let's say hello."

"Oh!" Xia Zhiwan responded, "Hello! Mr. Mu!" Xia Zhiwan's voice was very low, and she leaned stiffly against the back of the chair, leaving only her back facing Mu Qinghua.

"Xia Zhiwan..." Mu Qinghua repeated in a low voice, with a playful look on his lips.

Lin Hao looked at Mu Qinghua's expression, thought that Mu Qinghua was concerned, so he smiled awkwardly, turned his head and whispered to Xia Zhiwan, "Uh... Zhiwan, why are you like this, you are so rude!"

"Master, I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well, I want to go back first." Xia Zhiwan lowered her head.

"What's wrong? Do you want to go for an inspection?"

"No, it's just a little dizzy, go back to sleep and it will be fine!"

Lin Hao nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll ask Lao Lin to pick you up."

"Yeah!" Xia Zhiwan nodded, then stood up and walked towards the hospital door without looking back. Maybe she knew that there was a pair of eyes behind her that stayed for her.

"Hehe, Doctor Mu, I'm really sorry. Please forgive me if Zhiwan is inappropriate. She is not like this on weekdays, but she may not be feeling well today."

"It's okay, I know!" Mu Qinghua looked at Xia Zhiwan's back for a long time and couldn't regain his senses. Lin Hao looked at Mu Qinghua, then at Xia Zhiwan who had gone away, and a cloud of suspicion secretly surged in his heart...

After returning home, Lin Hao sat down in the living room, and sent housekeeper Lin to call Xia Zhiwan downstairs. Xia Zhiwan went down to the first floor, tidied her hair a little, and then went to sit next to Lin Hao.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Xia Zhiwan lowered her head, her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had just cried.

Lin Hao looked at Xia Zhiwan, nodded and said, "Yes! Zhiwan! How many years have you been in the Lin family?"

"In six days, it will be fifteen years!"

"How time flies! The children are so grown up."

"Yes! Sir."

"Zhiwan, because of Zixuan, I haven't been able to give you a title. You have been wronged for so many years!" Lin Hao sighed.

"Master, these are not hard things. Being able to follow you is the blessing I have cultivated in the first half of my life."

"Hehe, do you really think so?"

"Of course, master, if it weren't for you, Xia Zhiwan probably wouldn't have existed in this world more than ten years ago." Xia Zhiwan recalled many years ago, tears still came from her heart, and the uncontrollable pain caused her the most What I regret is that I hid my daughter in that alley. After hiding, I will not see her for 15 years, my daughter!where are you?Two lines of tears rolled down her face, Xia Zhiwan hurriedly lowered her head to wipe away the tears.

"Zhi Wan, I'm in the hospital today. I've thought about it carefully. While we are still healthy, it's time for me to fulfill the promise I made to you many years ago."

"Master!" Xia Zhiwan looked up in surprise, "I'm already old, and I still want to learn what young people do!"

Lin Hao turned his head, grabbed Xia Zhiwan's shoulders, and said hehe, "It's just that you're getting older, so you have to hurry up, just listen to me, you choose a date, and we'll get married."

"Master! Is everything you said true?" Xia Zhiwan was surprised, apparently unable to believe it.

"Ok!"

"Then, did Zixuan and Zilin agree?"

"Both kids are so old, I'm sure they'll understand us."

"Oh." Xia Zhiwan nodded thoughtfully, another figure suddenly appeared in her mind, after so many years, he was by her side!I don't know if he has a family!I must have forgotten the childish oath at the beginning!Thinking of this, Xia Zhiwan sighed and shook her head.

"Hehe, Zhiwan, who are you? Do you disagree?" Lin Hao picked up a cup of tea on the table as he spoke.

"No, master, I just think that Zilin is still in the hospital. It's inappropriate for us as elders to do this. It's better to wait for Zilin to recover and the family get together to discuss and choose a good day. What do you think?" ?”

Lin Haoruo nodded and said, "Well, what you said makes sense, but your title in the Lin family will have to wait for a while longer."

Xia Zhiwan smiled gently, "I've been waiting for you for so many years, it's not too late!"

"Well, let's make a decision like this. Xiaoxue's operation is tomorrow. After the operation, she will be discharged soon." Lin Hao drank the tea in his cup, closed his eyes and said as if enjoying himself, "The family is very happy. We’ll be able to really get together soon.”

Listening to Lin Hao's words, Xia Zhiwan's nose felt sore again. The Lin family was reunited, but what about her daughter?Her daughter is still living outside, and her whereabouts are unknown!If she doesn't find her daughter, her heart will not be at peace!Xia Zhiwan closed her eyes, and kept recalling in her mind the last smiling face left by her daughter during those difficult days, which became the only strength supporting her to survive.

"Zhi Wan? Zhi Wan!"

Xia Zhiwan came back to her senses and hurriedly opened her eyes, "Uh! Master?"

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Hao looked at her worriedly.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm just a little dizzy. I'll go back to the room and take a hot bath, then turn around and change clothes before I come down." After speaking, Xia Zhiwan got up and went upstairs without raising her head, and turned back when she was just on the spiral staircase Said to Lin Hao, "Master, let me make dinner. I want to make some soup. Zilin is still in the hospital, so I should get some nutrition."

"Well! Then I will trouble you." Lin Hao looked at Xia Zhiwan's slender back, and let out a long breath. One of the major events in his life was finally completed.

Xia Zhiwan returned to the room and entered the bathroom. Xia Zhiwan leaned over to turn on the faucet, and sat down by the bathtub. There was a person-high mirror embedded in the bathroom wall, facing the bathtub. Xia Zhiwan inadvertently raised her head and saw herself in the mirror. Caressing the thin wrinkles around the corners of the eyes, he laughed at himself for a while, "Oh Fanghua is gone, some things should be let go."

As evening approached, Xia Zhiwan took a bento box to the hospital after dinner. When she arrived at the door of Xiaoxue's ward, the door opened before Xia Zhiwan knocked. Say hello, "Aunt Xia, you're here!"

"Ah! Yes, you also came to see Xiaoxue?"

"Yeah! My brother and I came over right after school, and now we're getting ready to eat!" While Mu Yuchen was speaking, Su Luoze and Lin Zixuan also came out one after another.
