Chapter 113 Being a daughter-in-law isn't viable

In recent days, although Yan Luoxi had mentally and physically prepared herself to be an unwed mother, she felt embarrassed and angry when her mother announced her secret in front of others. She glanced at her mother with both indignation and surprise.

Miss Wang hadn't expected that Yan Luoxi was pregnant out of wedlock and looked somewhat awkwardly at her, smiling, "Luoxi is so beautiful; the child she's carrying must be adorable."

"Yes, I've been worrying about what to do after my divorce. Now that Luoxi has a baby, I'll help take care of it for her, and then she can do whatever she likes without feeling lonely," Xue Liping said with a smile but secretly observed Guo Yuehui's expression.

Guo Yuehui had been distant earlier, but after hearing about Yan Luoxi’s situation, his dark eyes shone brightly.

He saw that Yan Luoxi was uncomfortable and embarrassed. He raised an eyebrow and said with grace and a warm smile, "Mom, Aunt Xue, Aunt Su's party is starting; let's go in."

Miss Wang had long known her son’s feelings for Yan Luoxi. Hearing him speak this way, she immediately understood that he was interested in Yan Luoxi again.

If it were before, Miss Wang would have been happy about it. She and Xue Liping were good friends; Yan Luoxi was a lady with grace and modesty, eloquent, unlike the arrogant girls nowadays who didn't know their limits. Such an obedient girl would suit her son well.

Genuinely speaking, Yan Luoxi is a good child both inside and out. However, being his daughter-in-law would be very unsuitable.

His son is talented and successful with plenty of money; why must he marry someone who is clearly marked as used goods by others If my circle of friends were to find out about this, wouldn't it just add more gossip for them to talk about

"Yuehui, aren't you saying that your workplace has a dinner engagement tonight and you need to eat with your colleagues"

Guo Yuehui smiled amicably at his mother. "A colleague just texted me to say the banquet is canceled. I'll stay here with you now and we can go home together later."

"Ms. Wang, you're really lucky to have such a filial son," said Xue Liping, looking at Guo Yuehui with great admiration. "Let's go in now; Mr. Su must be waiting for us."

Xue Liping warmly linked her arm through that of her friend and pulled her inside. Ms. Wang cast a gloomy glance at her son before reluctantly following Xue Liping into the villa.

The usual close sisters-in-arms were each preoccupied with their own thoughts; no matter how important friendship is, nothing comes ahead of one's daughter's happiness.

"Luoxi, let's go in too," Guo Yuehui turned his face towards her and his warm breath brushed against Yan Luoxi’s cheek. His eyes gazed at hers like a vast sea. "I thought I would never see you again."

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi’s expression froze; though the words sounded gentle, she understood Guo Yuehui's intention. Yet, more importantly, she understood what Ms. Wang had meant.

Guo Yuehui, accompanied by Yan Luoxi in a somewhat protective pose, entered the grand hall where the sight of handsome men and beautiful women was quite pleasing to the eye and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Aunt Wang, standing among the crowd, glanced at Yan Luoxi's belly with an unhappy expression on her face.

Fearing that others might misunderstand, Yan Luoxi apologized to Guo Yuehui and hurriedly left in the direction of the restroom after asking a nearby servant. Guo Yuehui noticed Yan Luoxi’s evasive behavior and felt slightly disappointed but quickly concealed it as he turned around to greet others.

As she walked towards the bathroom, Yan Luoxi wanted to give her mother an opportunity to explain herself to everyone present and couldn’t let Aunt Wang think that they shared the same intention.

Thinking back on what had just happened, Yan Luoxi felt inexplicably aggrieved. As she looked at herself in the mirror with tears welling up but not falling, she took a deep breath and tried to suppress her emotions, managing a faint smile.

She hadn’t committed any wrongdoings; neither had the child inside her belly. She didn't seek after others, nor was she a sinner.

When Yan Luoxi came out of the restroom, her face remained composed and calm as she smiled politely to greet the ladies present and conversed openly with those around her who were close in age. She wanted to demonstrate through actions that the child inside her belly wasn’t something shameful but rather a source of pride and everything to herself.

Through the crowd, Yan Luoxi could see Guo Yuehui surrounded by many beautiful women. Standing among them, he had an elegant figure with thick black hair and soft eyes that smiled gently as he spoke with the ladies beside him, making it easy for people to be captivated by his every move.

Yan Luoxi sighed inwardly; no wonder Aunt Wang was wary of her like she would a thief. Her son indeed was excellent—his sophisticated core was not something she could match with her low-end configuration.

I don't care about those useless things.

Yan Luoxi gently patted her stomach, guessing that the little girl must be hungry or thirsty. She picked up some fruits, meat, and juice from the buffet area and brought them to a nearby resting area.

Such parties typically don't have genuine eating; people of status and purpose feign modesty and nobility. In her current role as the little girl's mother, Yan Luoxi casually found a seat and started enjoying her food.

As Yan Luoxi was engrossed in her meal, she noticed someone sitting down beside her. Turning her head, she saw Gu Yuehui, who had been surrounded by people earlier, now sitting next to her.

"You look like a child eating with your face all messy," Gu Yuehui smiled lightly at Yan Luoxi and reached for a nearby napkin, intending to wipe the salad sauce off her face. But when he moved his hand, he saw that Yan Luoxi had quickly wiped it herself.

"You seem rather distant this time we meet," Gu Yuehui said with interest as he observed Yan Luoxi.

"I've always been grateful for all the help Mr. Gu has given me."

"Is that all" Gu Yuehui's tone rose slightly.

"Someone over there is looking this way. You should get back to your own business," Yan Luoxi softly reminded Gu Yuehui, knowing that it was quite noticeable for them to be alone in the empty resting area. personally interacted with Zhou Guangtao before; this time he came specifically to meet someone renowned for their successful projects.This being Fang Jianghai's first venture here, he genuinely worr...
