1174: Mother-Daughter Bond（3）

Mother-Daughter Bond（3）

The atmosphere in the hotel room got a little weird.0

Silence prevailed. This type of silence made Xu Cheng feel a little helpless, prompting her to glance at Eric.

Eric shot her a look, pushing her to take the initiative to talk to Lina. Lina's reaction was indeed weird. She had always talked about how much she hoped she'd be able to find her biological daughter. With Xu Cheng, her supposedly long lost daughter sitting there, she should've felt more agitated no matter how much she doubted Xu Cheng. Why was she behaving so indifferently?

Just then, the phone rang, and Lina picked it up.

The call was from the hotel's front desk. "Ms. Li, there are two people here claiming themselves as Mrs. Ruan's drivers. They're here to deliver your bags. Do I send them up?"

"Mrs. Ruan?" Lina's eyes sparkled with joy. "They are Tianya's people! Send them up quickly!"

"Alright."

Lina placed the phone down, unable to hold back a smile. That smile was the brightest smile of hers that Xu Cheng had seen so far.

Xu Cheng looked over at Eric uneasily. His expression darkened.

They had both heard Lina mention the name "Tianya."

Mrs. Ruan, Tianya…

If this person wasn't Ling Tianya herself, who else could it be?

Just then, the doorbell chimed.

Eric stood up quickly. "Let me get the door."

"No need, I'll get it!" Just as Eric stood up, Lina had already made her way rapidly to the door.

With Lina's back turned, Eric's expression darkened. Since when did she and Ling Tianya get so close, so much so that she would get the door to greet Ling Tianya?

Lina jogged to the door before swinging it open, revealing two men. They weren't the two that followed Ling Tianya around in the mall earlier.

In their hands were numerous bags, all of which were Lina's purchases.

As she realized that the two came alone without Ling Tianya, Lina asked unconsciously, "Where's Tianya?"

"Oh, young madam is already at home. She requested us to deliver your purchases," one of them answered.

"Oh, bring the bags in then." Lina's tone and expression seemed to reveal that she was a little disappointed.

At the sight that Ling Tianya wasn't there, Xu Cheng and Eric both heaved a sigh of relief.

But, that disappointed expression of Lina's was certainly alarming.

The two men made their way in before placing the bags in a corner of the suite. After that, one of them picked up a bag specifically before telling Lina, "Chairwoman Li, there's a piece in here that was gifted to you by the young madam. She felt that it suited you very well and that you'd be sure to like it."

Upon hearing what the man had said, Lina immediately retrieved the piece from the bag.

Its color and design both matched Lina's preference. Lina's eyes crinkled up into crescents, her lips curving up to a smile unconsciously. "I never thought that Tianya knew me so well. We sure click!" Lina said before her phone rang. She excused herself, "Give me a moment." After that, she rushed into the bedroom's closet.

Xu Cheng and Eric didn't look well. Based on how Lina reacted, it was clear that she truly liked Ling Tianya's gift.

Based on how Lina was, she was clear on her likes and dislikes. There was no in-between. Looking at how much Lina fancied the piece Ling Tianya picked for her and Lina's attitude towards her, Eric didn't want to think too far, but could this be the so-called "mother-daughter bond"?
