Yan Luoxi raised her hand to tidy up the loose strands of hair blown by the wind. She smiled calmly at Li An, "If I couldn't learn anything after being with you for so long, then I would truly be a fool."

"Li An, from now on, don't say any nonsense about apologizing or admitting fault in front of me. I will never return to your side in this lifetime. Also, remember well. Before your child is born, do not come near my home. Otherwise..."

Yan Luoxi hummed coldly like those ruthless leaders seen on TV.

Li An was frightened by her eerie demeanor and felt annoyed inside. When did this little girl start to boss him around

He wanted to throw a tantrum but now that the child was in Yan Luoxi's womb, he had no leverage against her. He could only bow his head lowly, "Luoxi, I know you can't accept me right now, but what about the child Do you really want him to grow up without a father"

"What's wrong with that There are plenty of single-parent children nowadays. Poor kids become adults early, haven't you heard Besides, even if the child needs a father, you're not the right person for it." Yan Luoxi sneered at Li An; she reckoned that the young girl who grew up alongside her would be much more mature than him.

"Then who is the right person to be a good father Is it Guo Yuehui" Li An rolled his eyes disdainfully and then smirked arrogantly, "I tell you, Yan Luoxi. My child will never call someone else 'dad'."

"Mr. Li An, I am the one who gave birth to this child, so it's up to me who he calls dad. It has nothing to do with you."

Lian was extremely furious but tried to suppress his temper. He raised his hand and slammed it hard into the tree beside him. Yan Luoxi acted as if she hadn’t seen anything, leisurely observing the night-blooming jasmine flowers around her.

After calming down a bit, Lian's face showed a sincere expression again. "Luoxi, for our child’s sake, can you try to accept me Please give it a chance; I’m not as bad as you think."

"No." Yan Luoxi firmly stopped Lian from continuing. "Did you understand what I said earlier If you dare to show up near me or my mother again, I will terminate this pregnancy immediately."

Lian's expression was complicated—shocked, disheartened, and sorrowful. He couldn’t imagine that Yan Luoxi could be so cold-hearted and say such cruel words.

He bit his lip and narrowed his eyes. "Fine, I’ll listen to you. Before the child is born, I won’t come near you."

Yan Luoxi carefully observed Lian’s expression, trying to discern whether he was telling the truth from his words. However, Lian had squinted his eyes tightly shut, making it difficult for her to read him.

Lian had always been unpredictable and impossible to fathom; Yan Luoxi didn’t want to try anymore. Since Lian agreed to her demands, she wanted nothing more than to leave this dangerous man alone. She turned around and started walking back.

"Yan Luoxi," as soon as Lian saw that Yan Luoxi was about to leave, he became anxious and stepped in front of her to block her path, not daring to touch her隨便地碰她。"You only mentioned what happens before the child is born. What will you do during childbirth And after the child is born"

This Lian truly was difficult to deal with.

Yan Luoxi glared at Li An and said sulkily, "What could I do when she was born Of course, I suffered to give birth to her. Can you give birth"

Li An nearly choked on his breath because of what she said.

Because of his mistake and the long separation, he sincerely wanted to seek forgiveness from Yan Luoxi. He had thought about making amends as soon as possible; if only Yan Luoxi would give him a chance, he was willing to humble himself.

But this little brat could always easily provoke his temper.

Frustrated and furious, Li An's chest rose and fell. "I may not be able to give birth, but when you do, shouldn't I be by your side"

"Who asked for your presence What are you to me" Yan Luoxi looked at Li An and rolled her eyes. "We have nothing to do with each other now; therefore, no matter where or when, stay away from me."

Li An was thoroughly enraged by Yan Luoxi's words. In a state of agitation, he shouted, "I may not be related to you anymore, but the child is mine. When my child is born, why shouldn't I be allowed to stand by your side"

Seeing Li An’s arrogant demeanor, Yan Luoxi thought she had to put him in his place. She looked at Li An with a bit of amusement, "Now that you know the baby is yours and want to be by her side, why didn't you do anything earlier

When I was just pregnant and worried day and night about her health, where were you When she would折騰 (tiao zhe: cause trouble) me so much that I couldn’t eat or sleep well, where were you During each of my prenatal checkups when the doctor looked at me with a strange gaze, where were you"

You suddenly show up now. Do you want to see the child's birth Do you want to be a great father Do you think you deserve it Do you have the qualifications

Lian was instantly speechless, mocked by Yan Luoxi’s ridicule. His face turned pale as he lowered his head. What kind of life had Yan Luoxi and the child led during the days when he wasn't around

Yan Luoxi took a slight breath and looked at the setting sun with a cold expression. "I still say that same thing: don’t disturb my life and the child’s without my permission. When you have time, think about it carefully; actually, there are many things you no longer deserve."

Lian felt his heart ache so much he couldn't breathe. His mind was blank as he watched Yan Luoxi leave step by step. Yan Luoxi didn't walk fast; her steps were very steady and firm.

He did not follow after her but remained in the same position until Yan Luoxi's figure completely disappeared from his sight outside of her home before he seemed to realize something.

The negotiation had failed again. The child couldn't bring back Yan Luoxi and him being together. Too many emotions tangled and spread within Lian’s heart, like weeds intertwining.

He and Yan Luoxi could never go back to the past.

Lian was utterly depressed but did not rush to leave. He merely walked over to his car and leaned against it, smoking while looking at Yan Luoxi's house.

The sky had completely darkened by now. The red light on the tip of his cigarette flickered alternately, gradually turning into a pile of discarded butts scattered around him.ough, she became much thinner with prominent cheekbones. Now looking at her, she seemed even slimmer than before.I always said I would fatten her up, but during this period while I was busy with compa...
