Lin Yan'er had never been criticized like this since she was a child. She couldn't accept what these people said. She wiped her mouth and said to the man who slandered her for looking for a scapegoat: "Why don't you take a look in the mirror? Are you worthy of taking my place?"

"I am the daughter of the Lin family. Do I need you to take over? What are you dreaming about?"

She had never had a very good temper to begin with, and her temper had become even worse during this period of pregnancy when she was visiting Lin Zhilin.

The man was pointed at and scolded, and he immediately retorted: "If you are not here to find a buyer, then what are you doing here? You can't possibly dress like this just to celebrate Mo Yunran's return to China? Are you that familiar with her?"

"What do you care? I am happy to dress up so beautifully! I am not doing this for a disgusting man like you!"

Seeing that Lin Yan'er was not willing to be outdone and retorted, Mo Yunran, as the protagonist of the banquet, naturally had to step forward to calm down the verbal fight.

She stood between the two of them and said with a smile, "Today is the day to celebrate my return home. Can you two let me say a few words?"

First, he said to Lin Yaner, "Ms. Lin, you are pregnant now, so you should not bother with him. Otherwise, your emotions will fluctuate too much, and it will be bad if you get pregnant."

Then he said to the man, "Master Li, please give me some face and stop arguing. Give way to the pregnant woman. Besides, you really shouldn't say that. How come Miss Lin and I are not friends?"

After that, Mo Yunran took Lin Yaner's hand and said to everyone present: "I specially invited Miss Lin here. Please don't think too much and don't ruin my party, okay?"

Most of them were Mo Yunran's acquaintances. When they heard her say that, they naturally knew their limits and agreed with her one after another. Then they dispersed and no longer gathered together to gossip.

But whether anyone talked about it in private was not something she could control.

Mo Yunran also went to get a plate of fruit and placed it in front of Lin Yaner, smiling and saying, "Pregnant women should eat more fruit to supplement their vitamins, which is good for the baby."

Lin Yaner said gratefully: "Thank you, you are such a good person."

Mo Yunran just smiled and didn't say anything else.

She thought that the real VIP should arrive by now.

There was a commotion at the door and the crowd gathered again.

Lin Yan'er's gaze inevitably followed the crowd, as if some important person had arrived.

She stopped eating the fruit and followed those people, wanting to know who was outside.

"It's Si Nanheng, the eldest son of the Si family! He's here too!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect him to come. I didn't expect Mo Yunran to know him. It's really unexpected. But who is the woman standing next to him?"

"I know this. It seems that she is a poor man who hooks up with a boss. Her family conditions are quite poor. She was pregnant before, but the young lady of the Nan family pushed her away and the child was lost..."

The crowd became lively again, talking a lot.

But this time, Lin Yan'er only saw Lin Zhilin in the crowd.

He was wearing a white suit, and pinned on his chest was no longer a silver brooch, but a rose.

It is almost identical to the headdress worn by Lin Yaner.

"Lin Zhilin!"

Even though they hadn't seen each other for only a month, she felt as if they had been separated for many years. She simply called out his name and ran towards him without caring about anything.

After hearing her voice, the crowd's eyes fell on Lin Zhilin behind Si Nanheng. None of them had noticed this person before.

Seeing Lin Yan'er running over, Lin Zhilin almost subconsciously took a step forward, bent down and caught her to prevent her from falling.

"Lin Zhilin, I miss you so much!"

Lin Yan'er put her arms around his neck and fell into this familiar embrace again. She couldn't help but feel her eyes turn red and tears fell uncontrollably.

She really missed him so much.

"Stop hiding from me, okay?"

Thinking back on the experience of not being able to find anyone during this period of time, her voice choked up.

"I like you. I really like you."

"Don't push me away, okay?"

In front of everyone, she expressed her feelings without any hesitation.

Instead, Lin Zhilin hesitated: "I..."

He placed his hand on her waist, bent his fingertips, and then opened them again, repeating this several times before finally letting go.

"Ms. Lin, we are not familiar with each other."

"Please stop saying such nonsense."

He politely refused and pushed Lin Yan'er away, but with little force so that she didn't push her very far.

Lin Yan'er hugged him again all of a sudden, this time very tightly. Lin Zhilin didn't push her away, but he was reluctant to use more force for fear of hurting her.

The two of them were pulling each other, which inevitably caused gossip.

"The person Miss Lin has been waiting for is actually Lin Zhilin, the young man who inherited a huge fortune. Could the baby in her belly be his?"

"When I saw Young Master Si before, I thought she was waiting for him. I didn't expect that she would be so ambiguous with someone like Lin Zhilin. She has such a bad vision."

"That's right, it looks like she's still pestering Lin Zhilin. Maybe she thinks his family is rich and wants to go over and live off his wealth together, right?"

These words reached Lin Zhilin's ears, and the smile on his face disappeared little by little. His eyes swept across these people seemingly casually, but made those people shut their mouths tacitly, and no one dared to make a sound.

Until his eyes fell on Mo Yunran, who was smiling, his eyes darkened and a trace of hostility flashed across them.

"Zhilin, what are you and Miss Lin doing..."

Li Weiming spoke out. She was surprised that the two of them would hug each other. After all, the last time they met, Lin Yan'er didn't look like she liked Lin Zhilin.

"I'm not familiar with her. Miss Lin must have recognized the wrong person."

Lin Zhilin used a little force and ruthlessly pushed the person aside, then took several steps back, keeping a certain safe distance from her.

"That's not what you said last time at the Nan family." Si Nanheng looked at him with disdain, "Why are you not familiar with each other now?"

"And she's pregnant with your child. Why are you hiding? Are you afraid to take responsibility or don't want to take responsibility?"

At this time, Li Weiming pulled the corner of his clothes and winked at him, "Don't talk nonsense at this time. Lin Zhilin is not the kind of person you said he was."

Si Nanheng snorted coldly, not quite reconciled.

"What are you doing? We can talk later if you have anything to say. Shouldn't today be a celebration of my return home? Master Si, Master Lin, come on, I have arranged VIP seats for you two inside."

Mo Yunran made a "please" gesture and stood up in time to ease the stalemate.

She smiled and said to Li Weiming, "Is this Miss Li? I've heard a little about her, but I didn't expect her to be so beautiful in person. Seeing is believing."

The few people exchanged a few polite words, and Mo Yunran took Si Nanheng and Li Weiming away first. As for Lin Zhilin, he took Lin Yaner to another place.

Avoiding the guests, he led his men to a secluded corner outside.

He stopped and turned around: "I..."

"Lin Zhilin, I like you. I shouldn't have said in front of you that I like Si Nanheng. The person I really like is you. I will marry you no matter what my dad says. You are not my second choice, you are my only choice."

Lin Yan'er rushed over crying. She really missed him so much. She knew that Lin Zhilin still liked her, but he just didn't admit it. But he was very cautious in his actions and didn't dare to hurt her.

Lin Zhilin lowered his eyes and said, "Ms. Lin, but I don't like you."

"Please don't come to see me again."
