Chapter 10 The Pregnant Belly Panic

had exhibited this kind of demeanor countless times; every time he looked at her, it felt like he was seeing right through her to somewhere else, followed by a moment of contemplation tinged with pai...Chapter Ten: The Pregnant Woman's Panic

Yan Luoxi slept rather deeply and was eventually awakened by her baby kicking inside her. Today, the baby seemed to be moving unusually vigorously.

Her little girl had only started moving a few days ago. Initially, she was very shy; she would occasionally stretch her little arms and kick her legs, letting Mom know that she could move.

Even these subtle movements filled Yan Luoxi with immense joy because her little girl was now an older child who could move inside her womb, and soon enough, she would be born to accompany her.

The usually inactive little one seemed especially lively today.

Yan Luoxi stroked her belly and let out a soft sigh. "My dear, it's Mom’s fault today for being too emotional; I must have scared you! Don't be afraid, no matter what happens in the future, Mom will always protect you..."

Tears suddenly welled up unbidden from her eyes as she bit down on her lip. The harder she tried to hold back tears, the more they flowed.

At first, when she separated from Li An, Yan Luoxi had genuinely hoped that he would come back for her. Even after recovering from depression, she still harbored hope that he would return to her.

If at that time Li An had been willing to find her, even if he had hurt her deeply before, she would have forgiven him; after all, she had once loved him so profoundly.

Women are often foolish for love.

Yan Luoxi truly did wait for Li An to come back, but reality later proved that it was merely a one-sided fantasy of hers.

In the endless waiting and cruel hurt, Yan Luoxi's heart, still slightly warm, finally cooled down completely.

When she had already closed her heart like a dead well and was ready to spend her life with the little girl, Li An appeared again.

Why, why did you come early or late but not now!

After crying for a while, Yan Luoxi suddenly felt alarmed, and the tears in her eyes stopped.

If Li An has come looking, what should she do about her little girl

She could deceive Shao Junhe with words, but there was an extremely small possibility of deceiving Li An about this matter.

Anxiously furrowing her brow, Yan Luoxi tried to recall the scene of her sudden reunion with Li An today. Despite his meticulous nature, Li An did not pay much attention to her belly, yet a big belly like hers would be obvious even to someone with eyes.

Why didn't Li An feel curious about her belly!

The answer could only be one: He already knew she was pregnant before coming here.

Li An did not get extremely excited and yell that the child is his.

This situation had only two possibilities, he believed Shao Junhe's words and thought the child belonged to someone else; or, he hadn't yet investigated who the child really belongs to

When Yan Luoxi thought about this, she felt a bit afraid. With the Li family's power, it would be too easy for them to find out whose child hers was. If Li An knew that the child was his, what would he do

The composed and sharp-tongued Yan Luoxi from moments ago could no longer lie still. No matter how quickly she had matured recently, when it came to potentially losing this little girl, she felt completely lost. She wanted to discuss this matter with Xue Liping.

Xue Liping sat on the sofa, idly thinking since Yan Luoxi went to sleep in her room. Sometimes she was overjoyed and secretly smiled; other times, she was worried and shook her head quietly. What she most wanted to know now was the relationship between her daughter and Li An—and why her daughter wouldn’t come out of the room.

Sitting on the sofa with a restless mind, Xue Liping finally saw her daughter walk out from the room. She hurried over and asked worriedly: "Luoxi, are you hungry… Oh, what's wrong with your eyes They're red—did you cry"

"Mom, let’s go! Let’s leave this place!" At the thought of Li An who wouldn't leave her alone, Yan Luoxi felt extremely afraid. She grabbed her mother's arm and wished to leave immediately.

"Luoxi, calm down first. What happened Tell Mom, okay" Xue Liping looked at her daughter’s swollen eyes and anxious gaze with a heart full of compassion. She stroked her daughter's hair and asked softly.

Yan Luoxi held her mother's hand and sat on the sofa, gazing out the window far away. "Mom, you must be curious about how I met Li An, right"

"Yes." Xue Liping nodded honestly.

“And you must also be wondering where this child in my belly came from”

"Yes."

"Then I'll tell you everything today. But after you hear it, don't feel sad or blame yourself. Because these are past events and my destiny." Yan Luoxi's voice was calm and composed, but only she knew how much her heart trembled as she prepared to reveal the truth.

"Okay... alright." When Xu Liping heard Yan Luoxi mention feeling guilty, her heart clenched.

As Yan Luoxi's mother, she had been derelict in her duties for so many years. What she feared most was that her daughter had suffered some委屈or unbearable bullying during these years. But since their reunion, Yan Luoxi either distanced herself or only reported good news; Xu Liping truly didn't know what kind of life her daughter had led over the past few years.

Yan Luoxi took a deep breath and slowly began to narrate her experiences to her mother. From when her parents divorced, she frequently stayed with Zhou Guangtao's family, to her father's passing away, and being adopted by Gu Xiao Bei and Li Haonan...

Xu Liping listened as Yan Luoxi recounted her story, alternately shocked, elated, worried, and saddened. Especially when she heard that such a young Yan Luoxi was threatened and violated by Li An, Xu Liping couldn't hold back any longer and cried out loud.

If not for her own greed leading her to abandon her daughter at an early age, why would Yan Luoxi have to endure the most degrading bullying as a young girl

Yan Luoxi didn't cry. She didn't know why, but recounting these past events now felt like talking about something trivial; she spoke calmly without adding any emotional coloring.

Xu Liping cried bitterly for a while and when she heard that Li An pretended to be Sun Liang's boyfriend in order to get close to Yan Luoxi, her eyes widened.

It was tragic enough that her daughter had been bullied by Li An back then, but in this world, any girl who could attract the affection of a young master like Li An and receive his special attention was truly blessed beyond measure.

Xu Liping, as someone with experience, knew well that an outstanding man like Li An wouldn't waste his time and energy on anyone unless he deeply loved them. Why糾纏a woman who had been acquainted for more than ten years and experienced various forms of love!eeing the sorrow and difficulty hidden in Yan Luoxi’s eyes, Xu Liping couldn’t add more misery to her daughter's life.The fact that the child is already pregnant cannot be changed.
