In these days, Yan Luoxi thoroughly understood Shao Junhe's difficult nature. She knew that if she wanted to leave here and get away from Shao Junhe, her mother had to come pick her up.
She took another opportunity to call her mom, hoping that her mother would come to pick her up once. However, her mother was still traveling in the south with friends, enjoying herself so much she didn't want to return home.
Yan Luoxi sighed helplessly; it truly felt like an old house fire that kept spreading and growing stronger!
She wanted to leave Shao Junhe, but he never left her side. She couldn't escape or run away and could only wait until her mother was done enjoying herself before coming over to pick her up.
Luckily, she had talked things out with Shao Junhe. He agreed to stay here and accompany her; that was his decision. With this, the guilt in her heart would be somewhat alleviated.
Perhaps because of her advanced pregnancy, Yan Luoxi became increasingly lazy. That night, instead of going for a walk by the beach with Shao Junhe, she stayed at home and watched the moon from the villa's rooftop terrace.
The balcony was spacious and decorated by Shao Junhe to give it a warm, cozy feel. There were two crescent-shaped rattan rocking chairs and one cartoon-themed low table that held various fruits, nuts, and juices for Yan Luoxi to snack on whenever she wanted.
Today's sky was particularly clear, with the moon rising early in the evening and casting a bright glow over everything. A few stars could also be seen twinkling above. A gentle breeze brushed past from time to time, sometimes warm and other times bringing the cool sea air.
Yan Luoxi lay comfortably on the rattan chair, her small hand unconsciously caressing her slightly protruding belly. She had gained quite a bit of weight recently; this dress was still one she owned from before, but it now felt tight around her waist.
In fact, Shao Junhe had already bought many beautiful maternity dresses for Yan Luoxi earlier, but she felt a bit embarrassed and thought it was too much to wear them now, so she hadn't worn any yet.
Shao Junhe was busy peeling lychees for Yan Luoxi. "Luoxi, eat some of this; today's batch is particularly sweet."
"Mm-hmm, okay! Thank you!" Yan Luoxi accepted the lychee with a happy smile directed at Shao Junhe, eating it contentedly.
Although she always made Shao Junhe leave, over these days of interaction, subconsciously she had started to view the gentle and kind Shao Junhe as an older brother whom she could rely on and trust.
Seeing that Luoxi was getting some juice on her chin, he took a napkin from nearby with tender care to wipe her mouth for her. Yan Luoxi giggled foolishly at him.
After eating the fruit, she also consumed some dried nuts and looked up at the moon, feeling that these days were truly relaxed and enjoyable. She stood up from the rattan chair and started arranging the flowers by the balcony.
The edge of the balcony used to have many flowering plants; later Shao Junhe replaced them with spider lilies, snake plants, and ZZ plants. He said these could purify the air and were beneficial for Yan Luoxi's baby inside her.
Yan Luoxi was originally not particularly interested in flowers and plants, but perhaps due to having nothing else to do at the villa, recently she had been arranging them every day and personally watering each plant.
The housekeepers would kindly smile when they saw Yan Luoxi doing this. They said it might be because she was carrying a girl, as all women who give birth tend to like flowers and plants.
Yan Luoxi found this idea novel. She thought back on her childhood in the Li family; indeed, she never saw Aunt Xio Bei liking any flowers. The Li family did have an enormous flower room filled with rare exotic flowers everywhere, but it was just for display—none of the three big men or even Xiao Bei would often go inside.
Aunt Xiao Bei would just glance at the flowers Uncle Li brought her and casually put them aside, no wonder she ended up having two boys.
Thinking about this, Yan Luoxi couldn't help but think of Li An. If she were still with him now and he found out that she was pregnant, what if she could give the Li family a daughter
Upon thinking these thoughts, Yan Luoxi painfully closed her eyes. Why did she insist on revisiting those painful memories
The past cannot be changed; we should focus on the future.
Wasn't her and her child's future more worth fighting for than those unchangeable painful memories
As Yan Luoxi was thinking about Li An, she didn't realize that he was staring at her intently from a distance.
Yan Luoxi, I've finally found you!
After hearing from Shao Meizhuo that Yan Luoxi and Shao Junhe were together, Li An felt hopeless, gloomy, yet unwilling to accept it. He urgently wanted to see Yan Luoxi and find out how she was getting along with Shao Junhe.
Li An knew Shao Junhe well and recognized that he had many qualities that Li An lacked. No man suited Yan Luoxi after she was hurt by love more than Shao Junhe did.
Shao Junhe's character was gentle, kind-hearted, and enduring; Li An couldn't think of any reason why Yan Luoxi would separate from him.
Lian could only rely on Yan Luoxi, hoping that she would be cold to Shao Junhe and reject him completely. This way, there would be no chance left for Shao Junhe, and Yan Luoxi might still belong to Lian.
After Xiao Meizhuo left, Lian called his brother.
The call was answered by Li Yi’s secretary, who immediately handed the phone over when she realized it was Lian on the line. Li Yi's voice was anxious and concerned as he asked: "I just heard that you were in a car accident again How serious is it"
"I'm fine, just some minor scratches. Big brother, I want to know..." Lian hastily brushed past mentioning his own condition and hurriedly wanted to know about Yan Luoxi.
"What do you want to know About Yan Luoxi, right" Li Yi's voice suddenly rose on the other end of the line, laced with frustration and reproach. "I've told you so many times already! Why are you so stubbornly unrepentant! Indulging in love, indecisive, repeatedly hurting yourself for a woman’s sake, do you live without any sense of responsibility"
Lian was already utterly disheartened; now, being scolded by his brother made him feel even more hopeless. He decided to be stubborn: "Brother, regarding Yan Luoxi, I can't change."
"What nonsense are you talking! Do you think your life is yours to do with as you please Your life was given to you by Mom and Dad; when they’re still alive, you must live peacefully. If you were here, I would give you a good thrashing!" Lian raged, grinding his teeth.
"Brother, I know that Yan Luoxi is with Shao Junhe now," Lian’s voice was desolate and sorrowful.
"Ah!" Li Yi on the other end of the line thundered in rage but suddenly fell silent. After a long moment, he sighed lightly and said somewhat heavily: "Maybe I shouldn’t have kept this from you; then maybe you wouldn't have gotten into an accident. If anything happens to you this time, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life."
"Brother." The usually fiery-tempered Lian suddenly choked up. "Brother, I know you’re doing what’s best for me; considering our Li and Chen families as well as the Shao family's relationship, all I want to do now is find out where Yan Luoxi is, if she’s okay, just tell me her news!"he, you… dare to hit me…"She was shocked as she held the burning pain on her right cheek. Clearly, she hadn’t expected Shao Junhe to slap her instead of Li An.Ming Zixi was stunned, Li An was stunned,...
