Chapter 108 - 108: Giving up on Love
She looked at Pei Xin excitedly. “I heard that you met Li Ze and Jiang Yan in Haicheng. 1 also heard that Li Ze pursued you before. Is that true?”
Pei Xin was surprised to hear Annie’s words. “When I first arrived in Haicheng, the person who came to pick me up was Li Ze. Didn’t you arrange for Li Ze to come?” she asked.
Annie’s eyes widened. “How could I have arranged for Li Ze? I arranged for my cousin, Li An, but he knows Li Ze too. He works in Li Ze’s company.”
Annie clapped her hands and said, “1 know. Li An must have told Li Ze that you were going to Haicheng. Li Ze had pursued you before, so he must have offered to pick you up on behalf of Li An.”
Annie couldn’t help but sigh. “Although our family is quite powerful in Haicheng, Li Ze is on the same level as us. Besides, Li Ze is the current head of the Li family. I’m just a junior in our family. 1 don’t have the authority to command Li Ze.”
When Pei Xin heard this, she could be considered to have answered the question in her heart.
She had wondered how Annie was able to command Li Ze. It turned out that Li
Ze had heard the news and switched people.
In this way, everything was better explained.
“I have to thank you for that.” Pei Xin smiled.
“Mommy, is Uncle Li Ze the uncle that I had a video call with last time?” Ling Lin asked Pei Xin curiously.
Pei Xin nodded.
She ruffled Ling Lin’s hair. “I’m sorry, Ling Lin. I made a mistake. Uncle Li Ze isn’t your father. Let’s find your father in the future, okay?”
Ling Lin nodded heavily. “It’s okay, Mommy. I know you’ve been working very hard. Besides, we have Uncle Lu Huai and Aunty Annie to take care of us now. Bad people won’t dare to bully us.”
Seeing how sensible Ling Lin was, Annie’s eyes were filled with tears. “You are so adorable. I wish my future son would be like you.”
Ling Lin also looked at Annie. “You’re also very beautiful and kind. I will forever remember how good you were to us. When I grow up, I will help you so much more!”
Annie was so touched that she almost cried.
She couldn’t help but hug Ling Lin. “Thank you.”
Pei Xin and Ling Jin looked at each other. They didn’t expect Annie to be so emotional.
Did Annie like children?
Annie seemed to have made up her mind. She said to Pei Xin, “1 want to be Ling Lin’s Godmother. That way, 1 have a legitimate reason to protect Ling Lin. No one would dare bully my godson!”
“What?” Pei Xin widened her eyes in surprise.
Ling Jin was also surprised.
Annie looked at their shocked expressions and nervously held her hands. “Don’t you want Ling Lin to have a godmother?”
“Yes, of course. I’m just a little surprised.” Pei Xin hurriedly shook her head. “After all, many people want to stay as far away from us as possible for fear of being implicated by us. Even after all this, you still want to acknowledge Ling Lin as your godson. I’m very touched and surprised.”
Officer Annie smiled openly. “They’re afraid that you’ll implicate them, which means that they’re cowardly and have no foresight. I think the three of you are very capable and have good character. You’ll shine in your respective fields in the future.”
As she spoke, Annie hugged Ling Lin again. “Especially Ling Lin. You’ll definitely become a man of indomitable spirit in the future. 1 have high hopes for you.”
Ling Lin nodded heavily and clenched his fists. He looked at Annie with determination. “1 will work hard in the future to take care of all three of you.”
Annie’s heart was about to melt.
What a cute baby. How could anyone bear to hurt him?
In the future, if anyone dared hurt Ling Lin, she would kick that person away!
Pei Xin and Ling Jin also felt warm when they saw this scene. The two of them naturally agreed to Annie being the godmother.
After dinner, Ling Jin went to see Annie off.
Pei Xin brought Ling Lin back to his room and told him a bedtime story..
