The Transmigration Survival Guide

Book 11: Chapter 5

Chu. Veirya gently knocked on the door then went into her sons room.

Nobody dared to offend Lin Chucheng any further since he was angry. Veirya could see his loneliness from his back view. He wasnt an adult yet, but he was lonely when he shouldnt have been. It broke Veiryas heart to see her son so lonely when he wasnt even yet an adult.

Although Veirya rarely showed emotions, she genuinely loved her only son. She was always there for him every step of the way since he was born until he evolved into the handsome young man. She gave him everything to allow him to grow up in a happy and blissful environment. She had never been a mother, but she gave it her best.

Mom Lin Chucheng turned around from his bed, tears smothering his face despite his aggression before his father.

Lin Chucheng buried his head in her warm valleys that originally belonged to Lin Dongqing when she hugged him. Eighteen years ago, Veirya knocked the man who tried to do that to her.

Why does he treat me this way? Why? Im his son. Why does he treat me this way? I can do whatever I like. Why must I tread his path, exploiting and hurting others? Why cant I be like you, Mom? Why does he hate me so much?

He. Doesnt hate you. Veirya gently stroked Lin Chuchengs head. He really loves you. We both love you very much. The reason he doesnt want you to join the military. Is because its too dangerous. There will be a war. And. Youre his son. He

Veirya didnt know how to continue for she didnt know what sort of existence he was. Political warfare eluded her. She only knew that her husband was remarkable, held an extremely high rank; and even Queen Sisi needed him. She didnt actually know the significance of that or what it entailed, so she didnt know how to explain his significance to her son.

Lin Chucheng blinked. Back then, he always looked pitiful and confounded. They were the most blissful, yet painful, moments for her as a mother. She reactively hugged her son tighter. He tightly grabbed her shoulders because he couldnt even sob on her chest.

Veirya kissed Lin Chuchengs forehead: Dont hate your dad. Your dad loves you very much. He just has his own considerations. Youre not him. So you cant understand him. I cant, either. But. Your father. Has worked hard all these years for this nation

Does he need to sacrifice us for this nation? I never saw Dad from when I was a kid People said I didnt have a dad

Did Mom and Leah not beat the snot out of them?

That was an irrefutable fact. Even if it was just children who bullied Lin Chucheng, Leah and Veirya would carry out their emergency procedure, also known as give the naughty kids in school a thrashing. Leah, was enthusiastic about it, would elevated the kids into the air with her tentacles; kids probably lived their entire life with post-traumatic disorder.

Needless to say, the children couldnt have done anything even if they reported Leah and Veirya since Lin Dongqing stood above everybody. He could even mobilise the military many times without seeking approval from Sisi. Clearly, then, nobody dared to accost his family. In a way, Lin Dongqing protected Lin Chucheng without the latter knowing.

But that doesnt change their minds! whinged Lin Chucheng, tightening his hold on his mother.

Veirya patted her sons back: Whatever the case, youre Lin Dongqings son. His blood flows in you. Your father has his reasons for not letting you join the military. Chu, be understanding. Your father loves you. You just dont notice it. Listen to your father. What do you want to do: do you want to go back to school or work as an assistant for the tax minister?

Lin Chengchu knew it was pointless to be wayward. At the same time Veirya was his mother, she was also Lin Dongqings wife. Me? Work as an assistant for the tax minister. I dont want to go to school. In the future next year Ill definitely join the military! And I definitely wont let him tamper with m plans!

Veirya nodded. Lin Chuchengs dove back into his moms embrace and lied on his side. Veirya froze. She lied down with her son and gently patted him on the back while humming a song he learnt from Angelina. However, the lyrics and melody were probably altered. He was only one year away from being an adult, so people might think that was the reason Lin Dongqing didnt like this son if you can see whats implied

Current time in the imperial palace.

Lord Lin, Lord Lin, if a war breaks out, can I go with you to the frontlines together? requested Irena, voice coquettish. She had her arm around Lin Dongqings left arm and smile on her lips. I want to go together with you. I want to see how you resolve this! I want to learn more from you! Lord Lin, if possible, I would like to live together with you!

Erm Lin Dongqing instinctively glanced over to Sisi, but her friendly smile rendered him silent. Eventually, he replied, We cannot live together You are no longer a child. Also, I do not plan to go to the frontlines. Your Highness, you are almost an adult Princess. You will need to learn how to rule from Her Majesty. The nations fate will rest in your hands in the future.

I do not care about any of that. Lord Lin will be by my side anyway. I just need to entrust everything to you! I dislike ruling the nation. But I will get to be together with Lord Lin every day with a justified reason, like Mom, then, right..? If only Lord Lin was my father I really want Lord Lin to be my father

Lin Dongqing was her biological father
