"When Xiehan was born, I wanted him to take my surname. Huifen and I fought over it so much that I gave up on it. I didn't even suggest the same thing with Feifei." She let it out in one breath, which made Lanni want to scoff.
"So you were jealous that my husband agreed to what I wanted when yours didn't?" What kind of childish reason was that?
"When you put it that way, it sounds so childish and embarrassing." Wen Lin looked down in her cup. "But basically yes. It's because Yuming gets to have what I couldn't."
Lanni raised an eyebrow. Wow.
She remained silent for a while trying to process it. "I can't lie that it's okay. It's my child, mother-in-law. If I decide to give it to my mother to raise it, that's up to Xiehan and me."
"I understand that now,"Wen Lin admitted. "My thoughts were clouded. I hope our relationship doesn't become strained because of this. But if you would like me to keep my distance for a while, I will respect that."
