Huo Mian felt sad when she heard Lu Yan’s words and lowered her head further.

“Yeah. I heard it. If the situation allows, I do hope I can meet Mian’s adorable girls.” Lin Ya smiled.

“Pudding and Little Bean are cute girls. Mian’s fortunate to have such good children,” said Professor Lu. Obviously, he loved Mian and his granddaughters very much.

“Come on, let’s eat. Our Yan is starving...”

With a smile, Lin Ya placed a crab on Lu Yan’s plate and then did the same to Huo Mian.

“Thank you, Mom.” Lu Yan’s smile was as beautiful as a flower.

“Thank you.” Huo Mian just couldn’t say the word “Mom”.

Then Lin Ya placed a crab on Professor Lu’s plate. Professor Lu looked at her with tears in his eyes. “I waited for this day for so many years...”

“Dad, I’m so happy. Hahaha... I feel like I can fly... I’m floating,” said Lu Yan.

“Mian, how about you?” The professor looked at Huo Mian.

“Dad... I’m... happy, too,” Huo Mian looked at her father and said sincerely. No matter what would happen later, she felt truly happy that she could see her father and Yan in this complicated situation.

But she knew this happiness was temporary and illusionary because Lin Ya set up this dinner for her secret purpose.

She wasn’t doing it for the happiness of the family...

Huo Mian had been wondering if her father could detect anything wrong in Lin Ya since he had lived with her for a long time.

But during the dinner, the professor seemed to have seen nothing wrong and his eyes were full of love when he looked at Lin Ya.

Lu Yan just woke up with full health and was high in spirits the whole time.

She ate a lot and couldn’t stop talking to her mom and dad.

After the dinner, while Lu Yan was talking to the professor, Lin Ya took Huo Mian to one corner and said, “Now you can ask your dad about Red Demon.”

“Okay.” Huo Mian felt heavy in heart.

“Be cheerful. Don’t get them suspicious... You know Lu Yan’s life is in my hands.”

Lin Ya’s words hit a raw nerve in Huo Mian. She raised her head and glared at Lin Ya, saying in a low voice, “Even though Yan is not your child, how about Dad? He’s your husband who lived with you for years. Don’t you have any feelings for him?”

Lin Ya didn’t speak but her eyes were unreadable.

“I don’t know what Red Demon is, but I know nothing is as valuable as family love... Lin Ya, you don’t deserve my dad’s love; not at all.”

Then Huo Mian turned and walked toward her father.

“Oh, Sis. You came just in time. Dad and I were talking about what gifts we shall give to the baby when he’s born.”

“I don’t want gifts. I’m happy so long as you’re sound and safe.”

Huo Mian forced out a smile.

“Dad, can you come here for a moment? I want to talk to you.”

“Sis, what is it? You don’t want me to hear it?”

“It’s not that. It’s about some personal medical issues and I want to speak to Dad in private. Anyway, you won’t be interested in it. Come on, go get some fruits...”

Huo Mian touched her head lovingly.

Obediently, Lu Yan walked over to eat fruits.

In this world, Lu Yan only obeyed Huo Mian so readily.
