Chapter 891: Chapter 891: If Our Lin Family Is to Be a Wife, It Will Be the Main Wife

King Jingyao went back, only to find the place empty, feeling quite upset.

Sitting on the sofa, he asked the housekeeper, "Where is Lin Hua?"

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment before telling the truth, "Miss Lin left after finishing her meal. I’m sorry, sir, it was my fault for not being able to keep her here."

King Jingyao didn’t blame her, "It’s alright, I understand your difficulties. Lin Hua isn’t an ordinary girl, how could you stop her? By the way, did she say anything before she left?"

The housekeeper shook his head, "No, but Miss Lin ate very little, and she looks much thinner than before."

"Yes, she has lost quite a bit of weight." King Jingyao lightly tapped the armrest of the sofa. "She’ll be fine once she takes care of herself."

The housekeeper grinned, "That’s right, Miss Lin is still young. She’ll recover quickly and might even have children soon."

This pleased Old Wang immensely. He smiled, "Things don’t happen so fast. It takes time to build a relationship, and Lin Hua may not want to have children so quickly given how young she is."

Lin Hua is just over thirty but is twelve years younger than him. After last night, he naturally cherishes her greatly.

She has only been with him.

Old Wang didn’t dare to think about it, but still, even though he didn’t care much, he did have to admit he was happy. He wished she could stay with him, but since she left, he decided to give her space. King Jingyao just sent a message, and Lin Hua didn’t reply. He didn’t mind. He was always good to women and felt that women should be pampered; throwing little fits was just part of the charm.

Moreover, he understood her situation very well.

He made up his mind, but he worried that Lin Hua found it difficult to make decisions, especially since she couldn’t let go of Feng Sheng. Just thinking about it made Old Wang’s heart ache.

But he brought this upon himself.

King Jingyao figured it out, got up to eat, but eating alone inevitably made the meal less enjoyable.

On the other side, life was not easy for Lin Hua after she returned home.

The entire upper-class circle of Beicheng knew she had been to King Jingyao’s place and that she had returned today.

When she got back, her mother was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and when she looked up and saw Lin Hua returning, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Mom." Lin Hua went over, "It’s dinner time, why aren’t you eating?"

Lin’s mother wiped her tears, lowered her head, and after a long silence, said, "Lin Hua, why are you so foolish? Even if you went to find King Jingyao for Feng Sheng’s sake, only I understand, but what about the Feng family? What are you going to do in the future? You’re still young; there’s no need to ruin yourself. Besides, Mr. Wang might very soon get engaged to Jiang Chaoge. The way things are looking with the Jiang Family is nearly a certainty. Are you really not thinking about your future, getting involved with a man like that?"

Lin Hua sat down, silent for a long time, "I don’t have a choice, Mom. I can’t just stand by and watch Feng Sheng die without a clue, and I can’t watch Feng Mian follow in Feng Sheng’s footsteps."

Feng Mian was the only hope for the Feng family. Without King Jingyao’s involvement, Feng Mian might also die under unclear circumstances like Feng Sheng.

Lin’s mother clasped her hand with urgency in her eyes, "Lin Hua, you don’t owe the Feng family anything. There’s no need to make things hard on yourself. You’re wholeheartedly devoted to the Feng family, but other than Feng Mian, who respected you, did anyone else even glance at you?"

"They see me that way anyway, so I might as well live up to it." Lin Hua said indifferently.

At this moment, Lin’s mother raised her eyes, carefully observing her daughter. As someone who had been through much, she could immediately tell her daughter had made a major decision.

Lin’s mother, a strong-willed person herself, after a moment, spoke slowly but with conviction, "Women of the Lin family have never been subordinate to others. Since you’re with Mr. Wang, I won’t stop you. But if you’re going to be with him, be the primary wife, even if Jiang Chaoge sticks around, she would have to serve our Lin family."

Lin Hua was taken aback.

She hesitated for a second, "King Jingyao and I don’t have that intention."

Lin’s mother snorted, "I’m telling you, you’re already over thirty, and you’re still this dull. Look at how Jiang Chaoge has been hanging around for so long. Has Mr. Wang ever brought her home? Has he personally introduced her to his parents? They aren’t even officially engaged yet. Since you’re doing this for Feng Sheng and you’ve already lost face, go all the way with it." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

After her bold words, Lin’s mother didn’t care anymore. She had full confidence in her daughter — she was talented, beautiful, and with King Jingyao’s penchant for flirtation, once entangled, he wouldn’t be able to let go.

Convinced, Lin’s mother went to eat dinner.

Lin Hua sat there for a long time without moving... She still hadn’t made up her mind.

In the evening, dressed all in black, she drove to Feng Sheng’s cemetery. The grave was new; he had just passed away.

Lin Hua placed a bouquet of daisies in front of the grave and, when standing up, softly said, "I wasn’t there when you left. Now that I’m here, will it disturb you?"

Feng Sheng naturally couldn’t answer her. His photo just gazed impartially at each visitor. Lin Hua’s eyes grew misty, "You left so suddenly. The wedding dress I ordered has already arrived. I didn’t return it. I thought I might take a picture myself, pretending I got married."

Saying this, she closed her eyes.

She truly wanted to grow old with him.

He was really wonderful, very wonderful, and he waited for her for years — she knew what it was like to wait.

Lin Hua’s nose stung, "Feng Sheng, you probably wouldn’t forgive me either, but if I did nothing, I couldn’t forgive myself. I don’t want to finish my life pretending I didn’t lose you."

Suddenly, she lifted her chin, "So, I will strive to live well on my own."

She smiled, tears in her eyes.

She used to love King Jingyao deeply, even with admiration and affection, but once tired of waiting, those feelings faded. Now, besides being with King Jingyao for Feng Sheng, there was also her mother’s pride.

Her mother was right; the Lin family wouldn’t allow a mistress. If she was going to be with him, she had to be the primary wife.

The sun slowly set. Lin Hua took a deep look at Feng Sheng’s photo and resolutely turned to leave.

Upon turning around, she saw Feng Sheng’s parents and Feng Mian standing there. Feng Mian had come with the elderly couple.

Lin Hua was stunned.

Feng Sheng’s parents didn’t look well, especially his mother, whose face was pale. Staring at Lin Hua, she spoke with a bitter tone, "Miss Lin, there’s no need for you to visit Feng Sheng anymore. Forget about the past; now that you’ve climbed to power, what does Feng Sheng matter?"

Feng’s father, being a man, still cared about appearances and softly reminded his wife, "Stop it, we’re still at our child’s grave."

Feng’s mother’s voice was sharp, "Why shouldn’t I say it? When Feng Sheng left, she was already involved with King Jingyao. After Feng Sheng died, she threw herself at him. Who in the entire Beicheng doesn’t know she spent the night at King Jingyao’s place? Even the legitimate fiancée Jiang Chaoge probably knows by now."
