Chapter 104 - Good Men

u one thing—do you have anything from which you're hiding something from me"Gu Xiaobei’s aura had startled Li Haonan to a halt; he scratched his head and saw her insistently pursuing this question.Thi...Chapter 104: A Good Man

Scholar Li Ping looked at her beloved daughter with a hint of amusement, then affectionately sat beside Yan Luoxi and patted her head lovingly. "You silly girl! Are you really that sensitive about your dignity He's not your boyfriend yet would stay in this villa for over a month with you; he’s not your boyfriend but treats you so tenderly, cares for you so meticulously, how could it be possible if he's not your boyfriend to show such enthusiasm and caution towards me"

"Mom, he really isn't my boyfriend," Yan Luoxi said anxiously, her face reddening.

Scholar Li Ping looked at Yan Luoxi with a chuckle. "Oh dearie With me, you don’t have to hide anything. Your own mother will never ridicule you! Besides, nowadays it's quite common for unmarried couples to live together..."

"Mom!" Yan Luoxi called out in frustration, finally interrupting Scholar Li Ping’s unrestrained imagination.

Seeing her daughter was truly anxious, she put aside the joy evident on her face and looked at Yan Luoxi with a meaningful expression. She asked softly, "Luoxi, would you be willing to tell Mom what's going on"

"Mom, Shao Junhe is just an ordinary friend of mine. Recently, I've had some troubles around me; he stayed here merely to take care of me," Yan Luoxi said with a frown, somewhat reluctantly.

Hearing this, Scholar Li Ping became concerned and scrutinized her daughter up and down carefully. Finally, she focused her sharp gaze on Yan Luoxi's slightly protruding abdomen. "Luoxi, something isn't right around you What happened to you that your health has deteriorated like this Have you fallen ill"

Knowing her mother was astute and efficient, Yan Luoxi decided to confess proactively but felt awkward as she spoke, "Mom... I... I am pregnant..."

"You're pregnant" Although Xu Liping had prepared herself mentally, she was still shocked upon receiving the confirmation from Yan Luoxi. Her heart tightened.

No mother wants to see her daughter become a single mother before marriage.

Marriage is the most reliable protection for women and their children; without it, a woman's fate could be unstable at any moment. Being an unmarried mother is not as easy as people think.

"Who is the father of the child" Xu Liping’s eyes were filled with worry and tenderness, her voice slightly stern.

"Mom, don’t ask who the father is The details are something I don't want to talk about again. Just know that this child belongs to me," Yan Luoxi's expression darkened as she pleaded with her eyes.

Xu Liping bit her lip inwardly; what she was afraid of had come true, the worst-case scenario happening to her daughter. Seeing 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. As a mother, she could only face it together with her daughter and share the burden.

Xu Liping smiled joyfully. "Luoxi, since this child belongs to you, he or she also belongs to Mom. From now on, don’t worry about anything else, just eat well, drink well, sleep well, and take good care of your child. The rest will be taken care of by Mom.

Since I am divorced too, we are both alone. Having a child in our lives is great; it’s been quite lonely for me recently, having the company of a child would be very lively."

As Xu Liping spoke, she couldn't help but think about how adorable her grandchild would be, smiling innocently at her and sweetly calling her grandma. This made her genuinely happy.

"Luoxi, rest assured and take care of the pregnancy. Then give birth to the child. If you're willing to raise the child, stay at home and take care of it. If not, you can go out to work. Anyway, Mom has enough money for all three of us to live comfortably..."

"Mom, thank you." Luoxi's eyes reddened; no matter what happens, only her mom extends the greatest support to her, offers the most understanding and love without questioning right or wrong.

"You silly girl, why are you still being so formal with your mother" Xue Liping stroked Luoxi’s hair and sighed lightly. "When you were young, I owed you too much, always worrying about having no chance to make up for it. Now that things have improved, heaven has finally given me this opportunity."

Luoxi smiled at her mom; suddenly she seemed to remember something and said, “Mom, Shi Junhe and I are really just ordinary friends. Please don't misunderstand again later on. After we've eaten, let him leave.”

Xue Liping lowered her eyelids and looked thoughtfully at Luoxi: "Luoxi, you're still too young to know how rare true love is in this world, especially the genuine feelings of men.

Usually, a person's emotional passion and sincerity are inversely proportional to their life experience. The most fervent and sincere emotions usually happen among those who have not yet seen much of the world or are full of youthful vigor, rather than mature men who’ve experienced many hardships in life.

The further you go down your path in life, the less likely you will find a man willing to sincerely care for you. It's almost impossible to encounter another man like Shi Junhe."

"Then I'll just stay with my child and you, never looking for anyone else again." Luoxi rested her head lightly on her mom’s shoulder, gazing moodily at the high sky and white clouds outside.

"Nonsense," Xue Liping's eyes reddened as she felt the rare softness and warmth from Luoxi.

She gently patted her daughter's back and said somewhat sighingly, "You are still young. The road ahead is long for you. With my eyes having seen countless people, I would never misjudge anyone. Xiao Junhe is a rare good man. You should cherish him."

"Mom" Yan Luoxi sat up straight, looking at her mom somewhat impatiently.

"Alright, alright. Mom won't say anymore. I know what to do," Xue Liping smiled casually as if nothing happened. "We should go downstairs now. Leaving the guests alone downstairs is very impolite."

Yan Luoxi understood her mother's stubbornness and knew that a few words from her wouldn't change her mom's mind anyway. Since she had already made up her own mind, she didn't believe her mother could force her to marry Xiao Junhe.

Xue Liping came downstairs in a beige linen housecoat and greeted Xiao Junhe with a warm smile as soon as she got down the stairs. She asked him what kind of dishes he liked very gently. Xiao Junhe echoed Xue Liping's questions, and they chatted merrily into the kitchen.

Yan Luoxi looked at their harmonious backs and couldn't help but laugh. What was going on here She hadn't done anything yet, but it seemed like her mother-in-law-to-be was already checking out Xiao Junhe in her own way.

Xue Liping cooked in the kitchen while Xiao Junhe assisted her. The two worked very well together. In between assisting, Xiao Junhe would often run to the living room and bring fruit and juice to Yan Luoxi, smiling at her warmly.

At this moment, Yan Luoxi was really angry with Xiao Junhe. She had already made things clear with him, so why was he trying to please her mother nowthose nearby, "Hurry up and tell them to change the song! What kind of tune is this It sounds like someone died!"When Luo An heard the words "died," his face darkened further. Suddenly, he turned towa...
