Chapter 1082: Like an eagle, protect your cubs
Huo Yelin spoke in a flat voice. He raised his head and glanced at Vivian indifferently.
Not much emotion though.
But inexplicably, Vivian felt as if she was frozen in place, her whole body stiff.
For some reason, she felt inexplicably afraid of the man in the back seat.
He obviously looks gentle and elegant.
She didn't look like she had any attacking power, nor was she as strong as Jiang Nuantang. She was also a woman, and had a beautiful face that made her feel threatened.
But even such a person, at this moment, exudes an aura that is not inferior to any superior.
So much so that she was a little frightened and scared.
Vivian was confused. This shouldn't have happened. She grew up in the Earl's Mansion and had seen all kinds of important people. Logically, she shouldn't be afraid of such a gentle Chinese person.
However, the body's instinctive reactions cannot deceive people.
Vivian tightened her hands on her knees slightly, pursed her lips lightly, and for a moment she was unable to refute.
Cheng Linxian didn't notice her uneasiness and nervousness.
Regarding Huo Yelin's vague reminder.
She lifted her hair and subconsciously tried to smooth things over:
"Don't be offended, Mr. Huo. She is just protecting me. She doesn't want others to slander me."
It was probably Jiang Nuantang's rash questions and Huo Yelin's questioning of Vivian that touched some of Cheng Linxian's sore spots.
It was rare for her to show her edge.
Like an eagle, protect your cubs.
Jiang Nuantang had a feeling that the question was sensitive and Cheng Linxian might avoid answering it, but he didn't expect that she would show hostility towards him for Vivian.
"I……"
Jiang Nuantang licked her lips and opened them slightly, wanting to say something.
But Cheng Linxian had put away her edge in an instant.
He returned to his previous friendly and amiable self, forced a smile, and said to her:
"I haven't thought about the question you mentioned, but no matter whether I have given birth to a child before, Vivian is still a very important family member to me."
As Cheng Linxian spoke, she took Vivian's hand and patted her gently on the back.
With a hint of comfort.
Vivian seemed to have not expected Cheng Linxian to do this, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
At the same time, she felt an inexplicable sense of guilt and self-blame in her heart.
She deserved to be damned. Her aunt was so good to her, but she hid such an important thing from her for her own selfish desires.
"aunt……"
Vivian opened her mouth, hesitating whether to tell the truth.
She had a hunch that Cheng Linxian would be very happy if she knew she had a daughter.
And if you try your best, you will find it.
But at the same time, she couldn't guarantee that once her aunt found her child, would she still treat her as well as before?
Even though she heard Cheng Linxian promise with her own ears that she would always be an important member of her family, Vivian still didn't dare to gamble.
She is worried about...
I work hard and put in all my efforts, but in the end I still have nothing.
If that was the case, she would rather keep it secret.
Thinking of this, Vivian took back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
When Cheng Linxian looked at her with concern and asked her what was wrong, she bit her lip and changed the topic:
"fine."
Jiang Nuantang quietly watched this scene of deep affection between aunt and niece, but she did not feel discouraged.
She raised the corners of her lips and nodded:
"Of course I know this. I'm just putting forward a hypothesis. But... in today's society, medical technology is so advanced. I think it's not difficult to find someone to do a check-up."
