Yan Luoxi has always been confused as to why Gu Yuehui would persist in pursuing her without any reason for misunderstanding on his part. She had never flirted with him; yet, Aunt Wang still spread rumors that she was a fox spirit who bewitched her son.

Talking about Gu Yuehui's pursuit of Yan Luoxi really made countless noble ladies in Zhushu City see red and caused Mrs. Wang to be furious.

Gu Yuehui held an important position, was a returned overseas student, and wasn't just any rich second-generation; he had real talent and ability, becoming the deputy chief accountant of the Southern Three Provinces Bank at such a young age. To find a man like him as a husband is the dream of many women.

Gu Yuehui's pursuit of Yan Luoxi left countless people in shock.

If Yan Luoxi weren't pregnant, it wouldn't matter so much. Her looks and education could match up with Gu Yuehui. But now that she is visibly pregnant and the father of her child is unknown, how can such a condition still attract Gu Yuehui's pursuit This has left many women grinding their teeth in frustration.

Yan Luoxi repeatedly made it clear to Gu Yuehui that she would not accept him. However, Gu Yuehui remained persistent, sending messages and making calls to show his concern for her. If Yan Luoxie's phone was off, he would drive to her house; if Xue Liping didn't open the door for him, he would leave flowers and fruit outside.

Seeing such persistence from Gu Yuehui, even Xue Liping felt delighted despite knowing it could damage her friendship with Yan Luoxie. She just wanted her daughter to marry a good man.

Although Yan Luoxi repeatedly told her not to treat Guo Yuehui as a son-in-law, and forbade her from opening the door for him when he came over, Xue Liping still secretly facilitated many conveniences for Guo Yuehui.

For example, she would tell Guo Yuehui what food the girl likes, what kind of flowers she prefers, at which time every day she will take a walk in certain places... Under Xue Liping's covert support, despite encountering repeated rejections from Yan Luoxi, Guo Yuehui still persists tenaciously on his path to pursuing her.

One afternoon after napping, Yan Luoxi wanted to stroll around the nearby baby store. Usually inseparable from Yan Luoxi, Xue Liping suddenly said she had a stomachache and didn't want to go out. Thus, Yan Luoxi went for a walk alone out of the community to the bustling supermarket ahead.

In fact, there were already plenty of children's things at home, so Yan Luoxi no longer needed to prepare anything further. But since she had nothing better to do and wanted to take a walk, she came to browse the baby store and casually picked out some items for the child.

She wandered around the mall for quite a while and saw that they were selling sweets, feeling somewhat hungry, so she bought a box of tiramisu, sat down, and ate it. After finishing one piece of tiramisu, she drank a glass of juice.

When she finally left the mall after dilly-dallying like this, the weather outside had turned gloomy, with cold winds blowing; it looked as if rain was about to pour down at any moment.

Yan Luoxi didn't have an umbrella and wore a maternity dress. She also held items she bought for the child in her hand, causing her to feel somewhat flustered for a while. She wasn’t afraid of getting rained on herself; she was worried that if she got cold from being caught out in the rain, it would affect the baby.

Seeing the sky about to rain and more people hailing taxis on the street, Yan Luoxi stood by the roadside but couldn't find any free cars. She was secretly anxious when suddenly a black Audi pulled up beside her with its window automatically lowering.

Yan Luoxi recognized this car and instinctively frowned.

"Luoxi, get in the car quickly," Guo Yuehui, who had been waiting for a long time, finally got his chance to act.

Yan Luoxi took a step back and politely declined, "Thank you, but I'll walk back myself."

"Get in the car, Luoxi. You'll catch a cold if you stay out in the rain," Guo Yuehui said as he glanced at Yan Luoxi's belly.

Yan Luoxi hesitated slightly; the sound of a public bus honking to enter the station urged Guo Yuehui to leave quickly.

"Get in the car, I'll take you home."

"Um... It's okay, I can go back myself..."

"Luoxi, get in the car quick. We can't park here," Guo Yuehui urged.

With the sound of cars honking, Yan Luoxi instinctively opened the door and got into the passenger seat.

The car door closed, separating them from the coldness and commotion outside.

Yan Luoxi held onto her bag, looking carefully inside it.

Guo Yuehui focused on the road ahead, driving steadily at a moderate speed, just like his demeanor.

"A new mom training class just opened in front of Luoxi. Do you want to check it out" Guo Yuehui turned around and looked at Yan LuoXi gently.

"Why are you so nice to me" Yan LuoXi suddenly raised her head, staring intently at Guo Yuehui.

Guo Yuehui was startled by Yan LuoXi's sudden question. But as someone used to big situations, he quickly calmed down and answered softly, "Love has no reason."

"Love may not have a reason, but your feelings for me are too bizarre," Yan LuoXi looked at Guo Yuehui with an angry gaze. "With your conditions, why would you resist family opposition to like a pregnant woman like me I need to tell you that I'm a woman who has been deceived by three men; I've seen all kinds of betrayal and exploitation. You can't deceive me."

Suddenly, when facing a man pursuing her and talking about those painful experiences, Yan LuoXi's eyes welled up with tears, but in the end, she just tightened her lips and held back.

"I don't know what's wrong with me. Regardless of who you are, I like you, Yan LuoXi. Don't doubt my motives; I'm a smart man and wouldn't create trouble for myself."

Yan LuoXi bit her lower lip. "You may not want to bring trouble into your life, but don’t bring any trouble into mine either. I don’t want to be with you, yet you insist on it. And my mother doesn't agree either. Do you know about this"

Guo Yuehui felt slightly embarrassed. "I will work on my mom's side; Luoxi, as long as you accept me, we can overcome any difficulty."

"Don't use the word 'we,' I am me and you are you. I'm a very realistic and weak person who doesn’t want to share your difficulties." Yan LuoXi lowered her eyelids and refused Guo Yuehui firmly.

Guo Yuehui wanted to say something more, but the car had already stopped in front of Yan LuoXi's house. She opened the door and walked towards her home without giving him any chance.ll him back from his rage, pulling the IV out of her arm as she crawled over to try and stop him."Stop it! If you hit him anymore, you’ll kill him!" Yan Luoxi tugged at Li An’s arm weakly.Though Li An...
