217: Chapter 217 Younger Brother or Younger Sister?

"Mmm—"

In her hazy, half-conscious state, Lin Guoguo felt as if she had been drifting at sea all night.

With giant waves rolling, she clutched the mast tightly, as if she were in a small, fragile boat.

Time and again, she almost tumbled into the seawater.

Then suddenly, she felt as if she were riding a Big Black Donkey, bumping along a mountain road.

Several times, she nearly fell off the edge of a cliff.

In endless terror, she opened her big eyes in a daze.

"Mommy!"

Looking at her mother, who was facing her, Lin Guoguo felt scared and hurriedly opened her arms to hug her.

Lin Wanrou opened her beautiful eyes, still heavy with sleep, and seeing the joy filling Guoguo's big eyes, she said happily, "Guoguo, you're awake!?"

Realizing something was off, she shifted her body slightly, feeling a bit awkward.

*Pop~*

Like pulling a radish, Lin Wanrou struggled to pull Guoguo from the quilt into her embrace.

"Mommy, your face is so red. Is it too hot?"

Lin Guoguo poked Lin Wanrou's peach-blossom-like cheeks with her chubby little hands.

She looked around in confusion and muttered softly, "Is this a hotel?"

"What a beautiful hotel."

"Why are there photos of Guoguo and Guoguo's drawings inside the hotel?"

Looking at the photos on the master bedroom wall and the drawing of their family of three she had made with a felt-tip pen, the little girl scratched her head in puzzlement.

"Silly girl, it's not a hotel. This is the big villa Daddy bought for you. Daddy was afraid you wouldn't adjust, so he moved everything from your old home into this big villa."

Lin Wanrou gently tapped Guoguo's little nose, her beautiful eyes overflowing with tenderness as she spoke.

She didn't care whether their living space was simple or luxurious.

But looking at the thoughtful arrangements Qin Ge had left all over the room, she felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

"Daddy!?"

Seeing Qin Ge poke his head out from behind her mother, Lin Guoguo called out in surprise.

She only remembered that last night, after being taken away by that big villain's donkey, she had been knocked unconscious.

She hadn't expected that when she woke up again, she would actually be sleeping with Mommy and Daddy.

"Did Daddy save Guoguo?"

"Then... what about that big villain?"

The little girl's big eyes showed fear as she muttered in a low voice.

"Him? I drove him away. He will never come to bother Guoguo again."

Qin Ge reached out and pinched Guoguo's delicately sculpted little face.

He smiled and urged, "Guoguo, go to the bathroom on the left after you go out to wash up. I'm going to smoke a cigarette!"

"Okay!"

The little girl hopped out of bed and obediently ran to the bathroom.

Qin Ge turned on the air purifier, lit a cigarette, and while puffing away, placed his hand on Lin Wanrou's bosom, patting it gently. "After breakfast, I have some things to take care of. I'll have to leave it to you to help Guoguo adjust to the new environment."

He didn't need to worry about the little girl's affairs.

Even if he did need to worry, it would only be about Lin Wanrou, this Daughter of Destiny.

However, now that Ye Yan had been taken care of and there was protection from bodyguards in the shadows, there shouldn't be any more trouble to worry about for Lin Wanrou.

"Mhm, you don't need to worry about things at home. I'll take care of them. It's just that you haven't even slept for half an hour, and you have to go to work again. Aren't you too tired?"

Lin Wanrou leaned into Qin Ge's warm chest, reaching out to gently stroke his chest, whispering in a pained, sleepy voice.

She felt that Qin Ge was too busy!

She also regretted being so demanding of him last night.

She could rest during the day, but what about Qin Ge?

A company that big, so much work that Qin Ge had to manage.

It was too tiring.

Just thinking about it made her heart ache.

"How about you take a day off? It should be fine to rest for one day, right?"

Lin Wanrou looked up with her gentle, beautiful eyes from within Qin Ge's arms, whispering softly.

Looking at Qin Ge puffing away, for some reason, she, who used to hate the smell of smoke, found the scent on Qin Ge to be so pleasant and intoxicating.

Qin Ge shook his head.

He indeed had urgent matters to attend to.

An Hao had already been rescued by An Ya.

And he had already regained his strength.

This guy was a ticking time bomb now.

And one that was already in the middle of a countdown, about to explode!

He was no longer providing villain points and might even resort to hysterical, reckless revenge.

Right now, everything depended on An Ya stalling for time.

If he wasn't dealt with, he would be trouble sooner or later!

Half an hour later.

In the villa's living room, the little girl looked here and there.

One moment she was curled up on the sofa, the next she was hiding in the storage room, looking at the delicately decorated playroom filled with dolls everywhere, her big eyes smiling into the shape of crescent moons.

"Guoguo, stop messing around, it's time to eat!"

In the kitchen, Lin Wanrou, wearing an apron, brought out a pot of millet porridge and placed it on the dining table. She glanced in Guoguo's direction and urged her affectionately.

"Coming!" Lin Guoguo came to the dining room obediently and sat on a chair, her two chubby little legs dangling in the air, swinging freely.

She propped her chubby face with her hands, looked at Qin Ge sitting at the head of the table, and said with a grin, "Daddy, will you accompany Guoguo to go out and play today?"

Lin Wanrou, who was serving Qin Ge a bowl of porridge, frowned. "Daddy's work is very busy, and he didn't sleep well last night. Next time, when he has time next time, we'll take Guoguo out to play, okay?"

After placing various snacks in front of Qin Ge, Lin Wanrou untied her apron and sat between Qin Ge and Guoguo.

She glanced in Qin Ge's direction, then looked at Lin Guoguo, and asked softly, "Guoguo, how about Mommy gives you a little brother or a little sister? Does Guoguo like little brothers or sisters?"

After all, Guoguo was not Qin Ge's biological daughter, and Lin Wanrou felt especially indebted to Qin Ge in this regard.

She wanted to have a child for Qin Ge as soon as possible.

But because of the commotion Ye Yan caused last night, Guoguo had learned about her own background.

She was afraid that having another child would make Guoguo overthink things.

"Yay, yay, Guoguo likes little brothers and sisters!"

The little girl opened her eyes wide in surprise, reached out, and touched Lin Wanrou's slightly bulging lower abdomen. "Does Mommy have a baby inside your tummy?"

"Mommy's tummy seems to have gotten much bigger than before!"

"Is it a little brother or a little sister? Or are the little brother and little sister living inside together?"

Lin Wanrou gave Lin Guoguo a charming roll of her eyes and said, "How could it be that fast?"

She had always been very careful about managing her figure, especially after meeting Qin Ge. Since a woman adorns herself for the one she loves, she cared even more about her appearance and physique.

How could there possibly be any talk of a little belly?

Lin Wanrou lowered her head and took a light glance. Looking at her slightly bulging lower abdomen, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

She immediately looked at Qin Ge, who was lowering his head and drinking porridge, and a stormy sea surged in her heart.

"This... this is a bit too exaggerated, right?!"
