Chapter 36 - The Father's Authority

n't you seen I'm truly curious who this fairy sister is who tamed you, making our Little Second change his ways!" Ming Zixing said with a teasing tone.Li An's mind was filled with thoughts of Yan Luox...Chapter Thirty-Six: The Power of a Father

Liyi maintained a warm smile towards Yan Luoxi, who was tense and on guard. Although he knew that it was his younger brother's fault, the guilt he felt toward Yan Luoxi could never outweigh his sense of responsibility as a parent or his affection for Li An as his brother.

"Luoxi, you've been through a lot these days. I should have come to see you earlier. Firstly, my work has been busy, and secondly, I wanted to let Li An taste some bitterness so that he would learn not to be reckless next time or mistreat you隨便地了。”厲熠說著收起臉上的笑容，瞪了一眼身邊的厲安。“你跟落夕道過歉了嗎？”

厲安立即過來對著顏落夕深深鞠了一躬，低聲下氣地說：“落夕，以前都是我的錯。對不起啊。我真的願意用一輩子來補償你和孩子的。你就彆生我氣了，好嗎。”

顏落夕坐在地上，有些為難地咬了咬嘴唇，並冇有說話。

如果冇有厲熠在場的話，她一定會對厲安橫眉冷對，讓他有多遠滾多遠，少在這裡煽情。可是現在厲熠坐在這裡，打狗還要看主人呢，自己怎麼能當著厲熠的麵罵厲安。

厲熠抬手不輕不重地在厲安頭上抽打了兩下。“你個混小子，現在知道認錯了？差點就弄丟了老婆孩子。”

"Brother, I only realized my mistake now I've known about it long ago," Li An rubbed his head and looked at Yan Luoxi with a somewhat resentful expression. "Luoxi, tell Big Brother that I've already apologized to you many times but you haven't forgiven me."

Yan Luoxi listened to their exchange and realized she had suddenly become the daughter-in-law of the Li family. At present, they were just arguing with her.

A slight annoyance stirred in her heart as she raised her eyes to look at Li Yi. More chapters available on [website]. Before she could speak, Li Yi smiled and cut in first. "Luoxi, I know that Li An's sins are grave and unforgivable. You don't need to easily forgive him. From now on, I am your brother who will always be there for you as a support. You can do whatever you want to make life hard for Li An or torment him; no matter how long it takes, he must suffer the consequences. If Li An shows any resistance at all, just come and find me. I won't show any mercy."

Yan Luoxi's intended words were stifled by Li Yi's speech. She knew that she wouldn’t win against him with her petty tricks anyway. Since she had already decided not to return home, there was no point in arguing anymore; instead, she would listen and see what he would say in the end. Regardless of his words, she had three steadfast words: Not going back.

Seeing that Yan Luoxi didn't respond, Li Yi paused for a moment before continuing seriously. "Luoxi, I haven't let Li An tell our parents about your child yet, which is why they haven’t come to see you. Please understand."

"Big Brother, I know there’s reason behind your actions," Yan Luoxi sincerely believed what she said; she was completely convinced by Li Yi and knew that he always acted in the best interest of everyone.

"Luoxi, it's good to understand your brother. You also know Father's temper. If he finds out about you giving birth to a child for the Li family, there’s no way he wouldn’t force you back to the Li Family Manor with your child. I’m worried that might be too much for you."

Though you live outside now, everything that belongs to you and your child will still be sent to you. When you are willing to forgive Li An and want to come home, the doors of the Li family will always be open for you."

Yan Luoxi felt extremely moved and her eyes welled up with tears immediately. "Brother, my child doesn’t lack anything. You don't need to send her anything."

"Foolish girl, you are still young and do not know how much effort, energy, and money it takes to raise a child." Li Yi smiled kindly at Yan Luoxi. "I know you're a strong-willed girl; back then when you decided on your own to keep this child, you had the determination to raise her alone. However, this child is still part of the Li family. Our family and Li An are deeply grateful for you and have an obligation towards both you and your child.

Luoxi, a person lives once, just like plants in one autumn season; the ultimate goal of living is to ensure that our children live well. You will gradually understand this as time passes. Everything you do will be for the sake of your child.

Therefore, don't treat yourself and your child unfairly because of your quarrel with Li An. Whatever the Li family gives you, take it without hesitation. As a father, Li An must fulfill his responsibilities and obligations towards his daughter. When he comes to visit her, instruct him however you see fit; let him comfort her, change her diapers, or play with her. After all, he is her father.

Yan Luoxi understood the underlying meaning of Li Yi's words: while Li An fulfills his parental duties and obligations, he also has the right to visit his child at any time. Not asking her to take her child back home with him was already a sign of lenience from him; she did not have the power to oppose him, so she could only nod in agreement and accept his visits.

Li Yi chatted with Yan Luoxi for a while longer, then, under Li An's guidance, personally held little Zhan Yan before leaving her hospital room.

The two of them were walking down the hospital corridor. Li An looked rather gloomy.

Li Yi tapped his head. "What are you thinking about You look so dejected."

Li An's face turned bitter, and he looked at Li Yi with some dissatisfaction. "Big Brother, didn't you say that Lu Xi listens to you Why don't you just have her move back into the Li family residence then That way, I wouldn’t be suffering so miserably."

Being too close to a situation can make one blinded to it. No matter how intelligent someone is.

Li Yi couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Li An. "How naive are you You hurt Lu Xi back then very badly, and she had to endure all sorts of hardships on her own with the baby. Now that she's given birth, do you think she would agree if I were to come over here and forcefully take her and the baby home Even if she returned home with me, would she willingly live a life with you"

Although Li An felt his brother was right, he still frowned unhappily. "If not through force, why don't you persuade her to come back with me then"

"Are you dumb or something Have Lu Xi tormented you so much that your wits have gone crazy" Li Yi couldn’t help but be exasperated by his usually clever younger brother. "Before I arrived today, didn’t she kick you out of the hospital"Guangtao was my order. Seeing your sadness and seeing Zhou Guangtao go bankrupt makes me incredibly happy. You hurt and bullied me so much, this is the best revenge I can offer!"He Yufan suddenly turn...
