CHAPTER 250
"I wish you were here to guide him, Quinyang. With you left his joy and I fear that he may make the sa..."
"Mrs. Lin Huilang," a masculine voice interrupted from behind her.
"Yes?" Slowly, Mrs. Lin Huilang turned over to see who had interrupted her. She was a bit surprised to see the person in front of her. "Tang Zixin."
"Nice seeing you here, Mrs. Lin."
"Pleasure is mine, dear. How are you?"
"Great just as you look."
"Thank you, dear. You sure know how to complint a lady. Brings to the question why you do not still have a girlfriend or a fiancé?"
Tang Zixin’s eyes closed as a genuine sound of laughter left his mouth. It was the first ti soone other than Little Tang Zixin ca upfront and asked him that.
He wasn’t surprised though. Everyone knew Mrs. Lin Huilang for saying things as it was. She was plain and straight to the point. It was why her business partners loved doing business with her.
She allowed her honesty to spread throughout to whatever she did, be it play, works, or anything.
"Honestly speaking, I am waiting for the right person."
"I could figure that out but I have noticed the way you look at my grand niece."
"Ahem!" Tang Zixin cleared his throat. He was not about to start talking about that with her now was he?
"Oh please. You cannot deny it. I am a lady you know and we know all these things. Sigh, I think she likes Ye Cheng but I do not know what is wrong with them. They say nothing is going on. So if that is true, then why not give it a try. Who knows you might be lucky."

"Wow!" Boy was he shocked.
’What is the matter, young man?"
"Nothing. I just am a bit surprised at how blunt you went about it," Tang Zixin explained.
"Why would you be? I thought my reputation superseded ?"
’Not that. It is just, well no one has said that to ."
"True as that may be, I guess your mum would have encouraged you if she were here. So in her stead, I would.’
Hearing those words co from her, Tang Zixin felt a certain pain strike at his heart. It was like she just knew what to say to touch his soft spot.
How much he had missed his parents day in and out and wished he had spent more ti with them.
Mrs. Lin Huilang noticed it when she saw the flash of pain in his eyes even though he quickly hid his pain away, her sharp eyes noticed it.
"I am sorry. I did not an to hurt you."
"It is okay. I understand what you are saying," Tang Zixin replied with a warm smile that radiated in his eyes, trying to tell her he was okay but Mrs. Lin Huilang knew better than others that it was a façade to deter others from the truth.
Regardless, she did not blow his cover and instead tried to lighten the mood. "Anyways, if no one wants my grandniece, I would give her to my nephew."
"Hahhaa... You sure want Li Jing to have soone in her life quickly, don’t you?"
"As a matter of fact, I do. She is too pretty to be single. I just do not know if all you n are blind or sothing."
’We aren’t. She is indeed a rare gem and anyone who has her heart should count himself lucky to have her."
"Here we go again." Mrs. Lin Huilang folded her arm under her bosom like a concerned and worried mother. "Tsk, you need so push or enough tutoring."
Tang Zixin’s brows creased at her words. "Tutoring?"
"Yes. Too bad, I am not available as I am going to watch from the sideline and see who gets my girl."
She sure was funny no doubt and Tang Zixin never failed to let his laughter out. Unknown to him he was stealing hearts from so young heiresses standing close by.
"Too bad I did not have a child of my own. Or else, I would have taken her as an egg and shooed all you boys away," Mrs. Lin Huilang added thoughtfully.
"You have don’t you, I an your adopted twins?"
"Yes I do but then, they are still young. Sigh, they have like ten years more to grow before I can do what I want."
"I believe both of them would enjoy and be glad for such a blessing God gave them by having a mother such as yourself."
"Stop flattering, Tang Zixin." Her cheeks reddened a bit. She was happy whenever she got a complint about being a good mother.
Lin Huilang adored children but nature wasn’t kind to her to give her one of her own. She waited for a very long ti but she did not have an issue. Luckily for her, her husband loved her still and never cheated on her.
It took her ti before she decided to adopt a child. At first, she was against the idea as she believed that she would have a child of her own one day but during one of her usual visits to the orphanage, a set of twins was brought in.
They were barely three months old back then. Instantly Lin Huilang fell in love with them. It was as though her soul was connected to them at first sight.
She called her husband and inford him that she wanted to adopt them. Lin Huilang wasted no ti in filling all the necessary docunts for the children and took them ho with her.
It had been thirteen years since then and Lin Huilang had never regretted her decision since then.
"You know I’m not."
Both of them stayed chatting for so ti more before parting while the rest of the party carried on.
Li Jing and Ye Cheng spent most of the night talking and taking a stroll in the garden till it was midnight. It was ti to leave as most of the guests had already gone.
DONG! DONG!
Both of them looked towards the direction the sound of the big city clock was coming from and sighed at the sa ti.
