CHAPTER 193: CHAPTER 193: PARENTS LEAVE

Lin Xiaoyan thought of something and immediately said, "Don’t worry, the house over there is really big, it’s a duplex. You can take a look, if you like it, you can stay, if not, there’s no need, it’s not far anyway."

Fan Lalan nodded with a smile, "Okay."

Lin Xiaoyan packed the bed linens she had washed yesterday, getting ready to take them to the other apartment to dry.

There was no choice, the balcony here is just that big, no place to dry things, while there, there’s a large open balcony. Putting them there to dry, probably half a day would suffice.

The two walked over, and as soon as they reached the entrance of the community, Fan Lalan looked at the design of the houses within and was utterly astonished.

"Houses here must be very expensive..."

Inside the elevator, Fan Lalan breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

She didn’t dare to say anything outside earlier, fearing someone might overhear and mock them.

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Indeed, they’re expensive."

How could they not be? Houses back in the hometown are just a few thousand per square meter, but here they’re in the tens of thousands.

Lin Xiaoyan opened the door, and the two of them entered the apartment, leaving Fan Lalan completely stunned.

"My God, it’s so big! So beautiful!" Fan Lalan looked around the apartment, her face filled with astonishment. She was excitedly admiring every corner and then ran upstairs to see more.

Lin Xiaoyan chuckled, remembering she had the same reaction back then.

She hung the four-piece bed set she washed yesterday out on the balcony and placed last night’s trash by the door.

Yesterday, she had basically tidied up, and today she just needed to remove the dust covers, and soon she would organize the things being delivered.

Lin Xiaoyan looked up at her sister-in-law and found her upstairs, so she went up and saw her sister-in-law exploring a bedroom.

"Sister-in-law?"

"Oh, I’m here."

Fan Lalan responded and walked out of the room.

"This apartment is really spacious!" Fan Lalan exclaimed in admiration.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her sister-in-law and asked, "How is it? Do you want to stay here? When mom is discharged from the hospital, I’ll take you all out for some fun."

Fan Lalan was quite tempted, "I’ll ask your brother when we get back."

"Alright."

Lin Mu’s eyes had completely recovered, and Lin Xiaoyan successfully completed the discharge procedures.

When Lin Fu and Lin Mu brought their belongings home, they were full of praise for the exquisite and beautiful apartment.

Lin Mu: "If I’d known you had an apartment in Sea City, we wouldn’t have bought the house back home, such a waste of money."

Lin Fu wasn’t pleased to hear this, "How is it a waste? In the future, if our daughter wants to move back, she’ll have a place to stay. Besides, even if she doesn’t live there, when the property appreciates, she can sell it."

Lin Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "Dad’s right."

Lin Mu: ...

"Dad, Mom, have a look at which bedroom you like. I’ve washed all these four-piece bed sets for you. You can just make the bed later."

Lin Mu: "Oh, any room will do, they’re all suitable."

Even as she spoke, Lin Mu quickly went to inspect every room both upstairs and downstairs.

Ultimately, Lin Fu and Lin Mu chose a downstairs room.

Lin Xiaoyan picked a room upstairs.

"My sister-in-law said she also wants to stay," Lin Xiaoyan said with a smile as she saw the message from her sister-in-law.

Lin Fu and Lin Mu nodded when they heard this, "Let her come. If we all live together, she won’t need to cook every day."

"Yanyan, come over here, your mom and I have something to tell you."

Suddenly, Lin Fu gestured seriously for Lin Xiaoyan to come over and sit down.

Lin Xiaoyan was puzzled, "What’s the matter?"

"When your sister-in-law and brother come to live here, just say this is your friend’s apartment, and we’re staying temporarily."

"Oh, I find it most troublesome to keep making up lies," Lin Xiaoyan sighed, rubbing her forehead.

Lin Mu looked at her daughter with a bit of heartache, "I know you’ve never been good at lying since you were little, but Yanyan, regardless of whether your current situation needs to be kept confidential or if there’s a national requirement, you must keep it a secret!"

Lin Fu nodded beside her and seriously analyzed the situation with their daughter.

It’s not that they don’t trust their son and daughter-in-law, it’s just that when it comes to their daughter’s safety, they had to take precautions.

The news of their daughter having a superpower made them constantly anxious ever since they found out.

They didn’t have the ability to protect her, so they had to do whatever they could to keep her secret safe.

Lin Xiaoyan understood her parents’ concerns and nodded in understanding.

That afternoon, Lin Fu, Lin Mu, and Lin Xiaoyan went to the previous residence to bring some of her brother and sister-in-law’s belongings to the new apartment.

"Yanyan, when we’re gone, you and your brother should move back to the other place. Remember, if your brother doesn’t live here, you shouldn’t live alone, understand?" Lin Fu advised his daughter.

"Why is that?" Lin Xiaoyan looked at her dad, wondering why he was suddenly telling her not to stay here.

Lin Fu took out his phone and showed his daughter the news he saw that morning.

"Look, this is about what happened in Sea City. It’s too dangerous for women living alone."

Lin Fu thought, fortunately, his daughter wasn’t living alone, as it was too risky.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the news on the phone - it was about Jiang Ping’s case being reported.

The news warned every woman to pay attention to safety when living alone.

She glanced at the comments, where some people considered whether to find a boyfriend, some thought about co-renting with friends, and others considered getting a dog...

Lin Xiaoyan returned the phone to her dad and chuckled, "Don’t worry, Dad, this place is too spacious for me to live alone. If you all were here with me, maybe I’d stay.

But if you’re not living here, I definitely wouldn’t come and stay here. Not to mention anything else, just cleaning the place would be overwhelming."

Lin Fu felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this.

Whenever the kids are away, there’s always worry.

Luckily, now that his son was staying with his daughter, he felt at ease.

But as for his daughter-in-law...

Lin Fu thought about discussing with his daughter-in-law, once they got back, about whether she wanted his wife to stay with her. Otherwise, when her pregnancy progressed, they wouldn’t feel at ease leaving her alone.

Ever since Lin Mu was discharged from the hospital, Lin Xiaoyan had been taking her parents and sister-in-law out every day for fun. On days when they were tired, they stayed home.

As time went by, Lin Fu and Lin Mu started feeling homesick.

Having stayed in Sea City for twenty days, it was time for them to go home.

Talking about going home put everyone in a somewhat somber mood.

Especially Fan Lalan, who was reluctant to leave her husband.

Seeing their daughter-in-law not want to leave, Lin Fu and Lin Mu said, "If Lalan doesn’t want to go back..."

Fan Lalan: "Dad, Mom, I’ll go back with you."

Lin Fu and Lin Mu: ?

Fan Lalan said bashfully, "I just can’t bear to leave Lin Hao, but when it’s time to go back, I still have to. I need to do prenatal check-ups, prepare things for the baby..."

Lin Fu and Lin Mu smiled upon hearing this, "Alright, then we’ll head back together. You can come back anytime you want."

Upon hearing from her in-laws that she could return anytime in the future, Fan Lalan felt very happy inside.

Lin Xiaoyan nodded in agreement from the side, "I’ll get you the tickets next time. Anytime you want to come, you can. If you travel together, you’ll have company on the road."
