Chapter 1235: Defying Heaven, 32 Concubines!

"It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning." Lin Lang picked up a piece of oyster omelet with his chopsticks and handed it to Wang Xinling's mouth. "Eat your breakfast quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Wang Xinling opened her mouth to accept Lin Lang's loving feeding, her eyes sparkling as she stared at him, and said with an exaggerated expression, "Honey, can you make the rain stop?"

Lin Lang smiled and snapped his fingers.

Almost the instant the sound subsided, the rain outside the window suddenly lessened, the raindrops became sparse, and the leaden-gray clouds seemed to have been torn open, allowing the sunlight to peek out again and cast dappled light and shadow on the wet ground.

In a short while, the sky cleared up again, and a faint rainbow could even be seen in the distance.

"Wow—" Wang Xinling exclaimed, clapping her hands and laughing, "That's amazing! Honey, you're a superhero!"

Seeing her excited expression, Lin Lang felt a warm glow in his heart and said gently with a smile, "Eat up, or your superpowered husband will eat your whole breakfast."

"No way!" Wang Xinling quickly picked up her chopsticks and ate the egg pancake in small bites, but her eyes kept glancing out the window, as if she was still savoring the rain that had come and gone so suddenly.

Sunlight streamed through the glass and fell on her face, making the blush on her cheeks exceptionally bright, like a ripe cherry, so sweet it warmed one's heart.

"It seems I really must have saved the galaxy in my past life to have a husband like you, a god among men." Wang Xinling chuckled.

"Silly wife, are you going to stay with your mother in Taiwan for a few days before going back to the mainland, or are you coming back to the mainland with me directly?"

While eating breakfast, Wang Xinling smiled sweetly with her eyes narrowed and said, "I rarely get to come back to Taiwan, so of course I have to stay with my mom for a few days! Could you call the artist coordinator at Wheatfield Music for me and cancel my schedule for the next week?"

Lin Lang replied indulgently, "Okay, then you can relax and have a good time in Taiwan for a few days, spend more time with your mother-in-law, and then go back to the mainland."

"Thank you, honey, mwah!" Wang Xinling blew a kiss to Lin Lang, who was sitting across from her at the dining table.

"Brother-in-law!" Wang Renyou, with a bruised and swollen face, suddenly appeared at the tea restaurant.

"Oh, so your brother-in-law isn't at home recovering from his injury?" Lin Lang teased with a smile.

Wang Renyou chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "I...I'm fine, just superficial injuries, nothing serious."

Wang Xinling couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother, you've been beaten up like this, aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourself by going out?"

Wang Renyou said with an awkward laugh, "I heard from Mom that you and your brother-in-law had arranged to have breakfast at this tea restaurant, so I came here specifically to thank him! We parted in a hurry last night and I didn't have a chance to properly thank him for saving me."

"Ha, that's thoughtful of you!" Wang Xinling raised her hand and gently patted her younger brother's head.

Wang Renyou shrank his neck and said in a feigned aggrieved tone, "Sister, I was already covered in injuries and you still hit me."

Wang Xinling lectured, "Let me tell you, it's because I didn't beat you enough when you were little that you got into trouble and almost had your hand chopped off by the Sihai Gang. You even managed to date a woman who was kept by a gangster boss. You're really stupid."

"I'm a victim too! This was my first love, I was totally dumbfounded~" Wang Renyou looked miserable.

"What else? You're such an idiot~ Don't tell anyone you're my brother when you go out in the future~" Wang Xinling said with a look of disgust.

Wang Renyou tried to save face by saying, "I never thought something like this would happen to me. It's really unbelievable!"

Lin Lang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, alright! Listening to you two siblings bickering in your Taiwanese accents makes me want to punch someone. You two are really annoying!"

Wang Xinling chuckled and said, "Honey, didn't you say you really like the sweet and gentle voices of Taiwanese women?"

Lin Lang replied with a smile, "I was just teasing you!"

Wang Renyou scratched his head and chuckled, "Brother-in-law, thank you for helping me get rid of such a big problem!"

“My older sister sometimes likes to be a little temperamental, so I hope my brother-in-law can be more tolerant of her.”

“My mother and I are both in Taiwan. She can only rely on her brother-in-law on the mainland. I heard that her brother-in-law has many concubines. I hope that he can treat my sister well and not let the other concubines bully her. Please, brother-in-law!”

After saying this, Wang Renyou bowed deeply to Lin Lang.

After hearing this, Wang Xinling's eyes reddened slightly. She was very pleased that her younger brother had finally grown up, was very articulate, and was very sensible.

Lin Lang remained seated in his dining chair without getting up, but reached out and patted his brother-in-law's arm, saying with a smile, "Don't worry, your older sister is the most favored of my concubines."

“Your older sister and I have already discussed it. Once you graduate from university, she will bring you and your mother-in-law to live in Shanghai permanently. You can stay in Shanghai to develop your career. Aren’t you studying computer science?”

Wang Renyou replied with a smile, "Yes, I studied computer science."

Lin Lang continued, "At that time, you can choose any of the internet companies under the Lin Group. You can start by working as an intern at the grassroots level for a few years, and then you will be promoted to department manager. Before you turn thirty, you will enter the company's senior management."

"If you are exceptionally capable, you can become the CEO of a branch company, receive stock dividends, live in a luxury mansion, drive luxury cars, reach the pinnacle of life, and marry a beautiful and wealthy woman. How about that?"

Are you satisfied with the career development path your brother-in-law has planned for you?

Upon hearing this, Wang Renyou's eyes lit up, and he grinned, saying, "Satisfied, satisfied!"

"Brother-in-law, I'll be a senior in college this semester, and I can start my internship at an internet company under the Lin Group right now."

Lin Lang replied, "Okay, then you and your sister, along with your mother-in-law, should come to Shanghai in a few days. Your sister is currently pregnant and needs your mother-in-law's care."

Wang Xinling stared at Lin Lang in astonishment, then covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Ah? I...I'm pregnant so quickly?"

Lin Lang looked at Wang Xinling tenderly, his eyes full of affection, and said, "You'll be able to find out you're pregnant soon. Let your mother-in-law quit her job and come to Shanghai with you."

"It hasn't been easy for your mother-in-law to raise you and your siblings all these years on her own. It's time for her to live in a big house with servants, where she can enjoy the best of everything and have a peaceful retirement."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xinling's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she said in a sobbing voice, "Husband, you are so good to my family!"

"Silly wife, aren't your family my family too?"

Wang Xinling nodded with tears in her eyes, overjoyed, and gently stroked her flat stomach, already looking forward to becoming a mother.

Wang Renyou stood to the side and chuckled, "I'm going to be an uncle! I'm going to be an uncle!"

"Brother, keep your voice down, what are you yelling about?" Wang Xinling gave Wang Renyou a reproachful look, but a smile played on her lips.

Wang Renyou said, unable to hide his joy, "I'm going home now to tell my mother this good news."

Lin Lang said, "Brother-in-law, aren't you going to stay for breakfast?"

"Brother-in-law, I already ate when I came. You and my sister can eat slowly. I won't be a third wheel! Bye-bye sister, I'm leaving now, brother-in-law!" Wang Renyou disappeared in a flash.

Looking at her younger brother's innocent and immature appearance, Wang Xinling couldn't help but complain, "This brat, he's such a grown-up, yet he's still so impulsive."

Lin Lang laughed and said, "My brother-in-law is only 21 years old, still a young man. How mature do you expect him to be?"

Wang Xinling smiled sweetly, her eyes crinkling, "So, when you were 21, were you just as innocent and carefree as my brother, like a silly boy?"

Lin Lang took a deep breath and recalled that when he was 21 years old in his previous life, he was an orphan and couldn't afford to pay for college tuition. He worked part-time, handing out flyers on the street, tutoring junior high school students, and doing odd jobs in the back kitchen of a restaurant.

Those seemingly unpleasant past events are actually valuable life lessons that helped him grow.

Perhaps only those who truly understand the lower classes can empathize with and understand the laborers at the bottom of society after climbing to a high position.

That's why Lin Lang has the habit of giving tips; it's not to show off, but to offer a gesture of goodwill.

After reading it, Lin Lang replied with a hint of sadness, "I'm not as lucky as my brother-in-law, who has such a loving sister and mother. Even though my father-in-law remarried, he still cares about your brother."

Wang Xinling leaned forward on the dining table and took Lin Lang's hand, saying tenderly, "Honey, from now on, the baby and I will cherish you!"

Lin Lang looked at Wang Xinling with deep affection and gently instructed her, "Wife, you got pregnant last night, so I have to give you some serious advice."

"Don't stay up late during the preconception and pregnancy period. Take folic acid every day, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and don't take any medicine casually. If you feel unwell, tell me and we'll welcome the baby together smoothly."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xinling nodded happily and said coquettishly, "Honey, I'm not mentally prepared to be a mother yet. This happiness feels so sudden!"

Lin Lang held Wang Xinling's fair and soft hand tightly, gently stroking the back of her hand, and coaxed, "Haven't you been saying you wanted me to give you a proper status?"

"After you get pregnant and give birth to the baby, you can rightfully move into the Lin family and have the title of the thirty-second concubine." Lin Lang's smile carried a hint of mockery.

"The thirty-second concubine?" Wang Xinling pouted and muttered, "The maids in the Lin family call other concubines 'Third Madam' or 'Seventh Madam,' but what do they call me? 'Thirty-second Madam'?"

"Haha... Silly wife, your worries are unnecessary. The servants in the Lin residence address the mistresses by their surnames."

"Since your surname is Wang, the servants will naturally call you Aunt Wang!"

After hearing this, Wang Xinling playfully stuck out her tongue and smiled, blinking her big, bright eyes. She tilted her head and asked, "Then, husband, Wang Yuyan is also your concubine. The servants can't all call us two 'Concubines Wang,' can they?"

Lin Lang replied with a smile, "Wang Yuyan is the seventh concubine. The servants call her the seventh concubine. You can just call her Concubine Wang!"

"But husband, what if you take another concubine later, and marry another woman surnamed Wang?"

"Silly wife, then I promise you, I will never marry another concubine with the surname Wang again, to put your worries at ease, okay?"

Wang Xinling chuckled and said, "Okay! You said it yourself, it's a deal, let's pinky swear."
