Ch16 - A bunch of really complicated family relationships (2/2)
“Go back to the villa first.” As a wealthy man, Mr. Cole had residences all over the world. In addition, he frequently travelled to Country M in the past two years, so he had a permanent residence there.
Elaine touched the business card in her hand, the corners of her mouth slightly uplifted. She looked very happy.
Cole stroked her head. “Do you like him a lot?”
Elaine nodded. “Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because… he’s beautiful?” Elaine cocked her head, “And looks like me.”
Cole touched her face and quietly murmured, “Yes… Very similar…”
He has watched as her face grew to look more and more like him… Previously, he also struggled with himself over whether or not to return this child, since that person has been constantly looking for news of the child even when taking care of his sister and nephew while also starting a business… Although his heart ached for him, he was ultimately a little selfish.
Before, he clearly only cared about his music. Why was it like this now?
Xue Ling also seemed to have a lot of worries. He sat in the driver’s seat, but did not start the car.
Wen Mo sat in the back seat, tied his seat belt and remained quiet for a long time before finally asking, “Is that… my little sister?
Xue Ling made a startled sound, suddenly coming back to the present. Turning his head and looking at his nephew in the back seat, he rather reluctantly smiled. “… I hope she is…”
He spent a lot of money over the years, searching in Country H for a long time, and scoured through the original plotline for any potential clues. Every time he thought he had found her, those girls that had been adopted all said they were not his little niece. Now this one was the only little girl whose eyebrows were so similar to his…
His appearance was very different from Wen Xiuting, but who knows when it comes to genetics? It’s possible that his little niece looked similar to him.

The system perched on the front passenger seat was too lazy to disparage his host.
Clearly he was already certain that she was his little niece the second he saw her, but he’s still struggling with pointless things. Didn’t he just not want to go against that man? Lord host, he’s just an ordinary person, what is there to be anxious about?
Its internal monologue was cut short by a glance from Xue Ling, and it quietly curled into a ball.
“She gives me a very different feeling…” Wen Mo was silent for a while and added, “I really want to be close to her.”
For Wen Mo to say such words, it showed that he really thought she was a relative.
Because he never felt close to anyone except for his relatives.
“Yes.” Xue Ling started the car and suddenly remembered another thing. He should first mention it so that Wen Mo can be a little prepared. “Your mother has found you a new father and you’ll meet him when we go back. You should be mentally prepared.”

Wen Mo watched silently as his uncle, who was also his teacher, concentrated on driving. “The way you say it is like you’re letting me know that mother took in a cat.”
“I don’t think there’s much of a difference to you.” Xue Ling shrugged. He knew his nephew very well, he’s really a like a small adult. Rather than treating him like a little child that doesn’t understand anything, it’s better to treat him like an equal.
Even so, he often managed to counterattack after a few sentences.
Sometimes it would even turn Xue Ling speechless, wishing he had never taught this whelp.
A pair of men’s shoes sat at the entrance, clearly from an expensive brand. Wen Mo quietly stood by the entrance for a while, apparently preparing himself mentally. Xue Ling waited with him, and the two entered the house together.
The kitchen was bustling. Wen Xiuting came out with her apron on, her eyes lighting up when she saw them. “You’re back~ Hurry and put down your things, the food is almost ready. I made chinese food, and Doyle made western food. There are many dishes for dinner tonight.”
Xue Ling’s steps faltered. He had known who his sister’s “boyfriend” was, but he was not ready to have everything come to a head so suddenly.

Tonight was doomed to be a restless night. In order for Xue Mo to not go hungry, Xue Ling snuck him some food to pad his stomach.
Wen Mo knew that he must have his reasons, so although he found his uncle’s behaviour strange and somewhat contemptible, he still obediently ate the packet of biscuits, bringing his small schoolbag to his room to start today’s homework.
The man in the kitchen finally walked out. He was a tall and broad foreign man with golden hair, showing a set of white teeth when he smiled. He looked a little silly, but still reliable. When Wen Xiuting stood beside him, they looked surprisingly well matched together.
Xue Ling gave him a smile. The other party wiped his hands and introduced himself, “I’m Doyle Owens. I met Mr. Wen this morning.”
Wen Xiuting was somewhat surprised, but Doyle kissed her on the forehead, indicating that he would explain it later.
Xue Ling shook the other side’s hand, “I didn’t expect that other than collaborating, there would also be this kind of relationship with Mr. Doyle.”
Doyle scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and laughed, “It’s probably fate.”
In fact, he originally got close Wen Xiuting because he wanted to come into contact with Wen Xiuyuan. However, he did not expect to find himself attracted to the other party and ultimately fall in love, making it impossible to extricate himself. Even though his older brother kept sending figurative cold arrows in his direction, he couldn’t help but want to marry Wen Xiuting.
After a year, it could be considered that he managed to achieve his original goal and meet the man, but there was always a tinge of awkwardness…
In the future, it would be very confusing determining what form of address to use.
Mr. Doyle Owens was very far-sighted.
Coincidentally, the doorbell rang at this time.
Wen Xiuting went to open the door. Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully at Mr. Doyle Owens.
