19 The Child is His

about her accomplishments and seek favors as if claiming credit. Even when talking to other colleagues, she would unintentionally exaggerate—On that day, Manager Li helped me move house, then went to...Chapter 19: The Child Is His

Upon thinking of Yan Luoxi and Guo Yuehui still together at this moment, Li An couldn't help but imagine various scenarios. He felt restless staying home and went downstairs to look at the unlucky Passat, giving an icy snort out of resentment before switching to a Honda Accord and driving off.

Ever since he heard what Xue Liping said, Li An had arranged for over ten second-hand mid-range cars, each about eighty percent new. He changed them every other day to avoid drawing Yan Luoxi's attention or causing her strong aversion when he was waiting outside the Xue family.

He drove back to the club where Yan Luoxi and Guo Yuehui had eaten their meal, immediately looking towards the seat she had just left. It was completely empty, with the table meticulously cleaned up.

Yan Luoxi and Guo Yuehui must have left after eating.

Their whereabouts baffled him; seeing Yan Luoxi with that man made his heart ache, but not being able to see her caused him anxiety.

Li An couldn't believe how low he had stooped.

His mind, already clouded by jealousy, was now buzzing. Even though he knew Yan Luoxi was pregnant and they could not have intimate contact, if Guo Yuehui even held her hand or kissed her cheek, it would be his loss.

Thinking about this made Li An feel like lying on the ground in a fit of madness.

Li An took out his phone and called Xue Liping. With some urgency in his voice, he asked, "Auntie, has Luoxi returned home"

Xue Liping's voice lacked its usual calmness. Feeling somewhat guilty, she smiled at Li An and said, "Luoxi hasn't returned yet. I thought you were with her just now. Now, I don’t know where she is."

"Auntie, could you please give her a call Could you ask where she went" Li An tried to suppress his agitation and gently pleaded with Xue Liping.

Xue Liping readily agreed and hung up the phone.

Li An furrowed his brows in distress. His long fingers pressed hard against his temples, realizing that relying on his mother-in-law was not a reliable strategy. He could not just sit back and do nothing; he had to reconnect with Yan Luoxi again.

Making Yan Luoxi aware of his existence and persistence would make her more cautious the next time she went out with this man.

Stressed and flustered, Li An rushed to Xue Liping’s house. The phone rang; he hurriedly plastered a smile on his face. "Auntie, do you have any news Should I come over"

A man's voice laughed from the other end of the line, “Little Li An, are you too ambitious How did you start liking middle-aged women And calling them aunties Do you think they will wait up for you”

Li An felt like he was going to spit out blood in anger. "Get lost," he said before tossing the phone aside.

Sometimes when things went wrong, everything seemed unlucky. Already feeling humiliated here, Ming Zixi had even taken this opportunity to mock him.

The phone continued to ring incessantly, annoying Li An as he thought about that hateful face of Ming Zixi’s. He grabbed the phone and started yelling: "You never stop, do you Are you looking for trouble Listen well, I am fed up with you. More chapters available at [website]. I’ll kill you… ah… Auntie… sorry, sorry, I thought my friend was joking with me… Ah, Luoxi is back then… That’s good, that’s good…

The news that Yan LuoXi had returned home reassured Li An to some extent, but the hectic period he just went through left him mentally and physically exhausted.

Life without Yan LuoXi by his side was too chaotic. In Li An's twenty-plus years of life, this was the first time he felt so out of control.

This situation had to change; there must be a way.

Li An was frowning and pondering when the phone on his desk rang again. He glared at it as if it were tormenting him, then cautiously picked it up. Seeing that it was from one of his overseas subordinates, he quickly answered with urgency in his voice: "What did she say"

"Second Young Master, the lady has a good memory and still remembers Miss Yan. Hehe, because Miss Yan drank too much that night and threw up right away in their sauna room, which really pissed her off..."

"Damn it, stop with all this unnecessary chit-chat!" Li An ground his teeth in frustration, knowing he would need to be more selective about employing talkative individuals next time.

"Ah, ah, the lady said Miss Yan spent that night alone at their club. No one visited her, male or female," This time, Li An's subordinate was smarter and didn't add anything else.

No one had come to see Yan LuoXi; regardless of gender, this meant... it meant that his child inside her was indeed his...

Li An felt a surge of heat rise up in him as he trembled slightly. The seasoned racing champion couldn't afford any more recklessness and pulled over the car, taking a deep breath to steady himself before asking hoarsely: "Ask her again if she really remembers it so clearly."

There could be no room for error with this matter; Li An asked his subordinate to verify once more as he found it hard to believe what he was told.

"She remembers it very clearly because she drank coffee that day. She wasn't sleepy. She got very angry when Miss Yan threw up after drinking too much alcohol. Later, Miss Yan drank even more and wouldn’t wake up no matter how much she was called. So, she just kept staring at Miss Yan; if anyone came looking for her, she would have something to argue about..."

Li An felt as though the world around him had suddenly become silent. Even the floating dust seemed to have stopped moving.

A long while later, he fumbled with trembling hands in his pocket for a cigarette box and put a cigarette to his lips. However, the hand holding the lighter couldn't stop shaking. He tried several times before finally lighting up.

Actually, he wasn’t as weak or fragile as others might think. It was just that at this moment, there was an extremely sensitive spot in his heart that kept softening.

The child inside Yan Luoxi’s womb truly belonged to him; he was going to be a father without even realizing it.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Li An's mouth, but it was unclear whether it was one of joy or sorrow. How despicable he must have been to treat Yan Luoxi so badly when she was carrying his child, making her heartbroken and suffering day and night...

At this moment, even killing himself wouldn’t surprise Li An.

He had a child now; the baby inside of Yan Luoxi’s womb was his.

When he decided to win back Yan Luoxi again, it was when he faced many difficulties and obstacles. Hearing this news should have been good for him. Perhaps from now on, things could take an unexpected turn for the better...

But at this moment, Li An couldn’t be sure whether he could actually win back Yan Luoxi because of this child.w. Is that okay with you" Yan Luoxi negotiated with Li An. She truly didn’t feel like dealing with other people’s affairs now; she couldn’t even tend to her own family grave, let alone those of others...
