After Yán Luòxī first met Guō Yuéhuī and discovered his intention to pursue her, she promptly told him her true thoughts over the phone. Later on, when he called again, she simply added his number to her blacklist. The call today came from a different phone.

"Luoxi, hello, don't hang up yet, please listen to what I have to say!" Guō Yuéhuī finally heard Yán Luòxī's voice and pleaded urgently.

Yán Luòxī had recently quarreled with Madam Wang; considering how unreasonable Mr. Li had been towards her, she felt somewhat guilty towards Guō Yuéhuī, who had helped her so many times. No matter how outrageous Madam Wang was, she remained his mother.

"Is there something you need to say" Yán Luòxī's voice was very gentle.

"Luoxi, I was on a business trip recently and only learned about what happened at the hospital when I had dinner with my dad yesterday. I'm ashamed of how unreasonable and aggressive Mom has been; please forgive me!" Guō Yuéhuī's tone was sincere.

"It's fine. That day, I was also not myself, too emotionally charged to speak properly to Auntie." Hearing Guō Yuéhuī's apology made Yán Luòxī even more uncomfortable.

"Luoxi, my previous pursuit of you was because Auntie said that you didn't have a boyfriend. I hadn't expected you to already have a fiancé; this may have caused some trouble for you, but the truth is, I really do love you..."

"I have a fiancé!" Yán Luòxī was thoroughly confused by Guō Yuéhuī's words.

Guo Yuehui is such a shrewd person; upon hearing Yan Luoxi's counter-question, he immediately seized on her words and said: "Isn't that Mr. Li the one who has been accompanying Auntie to go out together with you for your shopping He isn’t supposed to be your fiancé"

Upon hearing Guo Yuehui mention Li An, Yan Luoxi's head buzzed; no wonder her mother had been so generous lately and was always in high spirits whenever she went out and came back smiling from ear to ear. It turned out that she had managed to get in touch with Li An.

Thinking about this made Yan Luoxi angry, her hands even trembling slightly. Her mother’s nature could not be changed by her, and Li An's obnoxiousness was something he was born with — there was no way she could defeat him either. They actually conspired to deceive her so easily...

The more Yan Luoxi thought about it, the angrier and sadder she became, almost dropping tears.

"Luoxi, are you listening Can I see you We can have a meal together and chat. Even if we don't become lovers, we shouldn’t be enemies…"

“Mmm, I'm listening. We could go out for dinner and talk, but it would only be as ordinary friends. Please don’t misunderstand.” Yan Luoxi looked at the nearby parked Passat car outside the window and clenched her teeth inwardly.

She wanted to use Guo Yuehui to provoke Li An and Mom, making Li An's roundabout plan backfire; yet she was afraid that Guo Yuehui would misunderstand and warned him beforehand.

"Relax, I'm still a naive young boy and won’t overthink things anymore," said Guo Yuehui when he heard Yan Luoxi agreed to see him. He couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Luoxi rummaged through her wardrobe for quite some time before finding and putting on a seven-eighths length maternity dress she had picked up two days ago. It was an international brand maternity dress that must have been purchased with Li An's card. Now wearing clothes bought by Li An to go out on a date with another man made her feel incredibly satisfied.

This pregnant dress is very beautiful, with a light green base and black and white ink painting patterns. The hem is fluffy, and she has put on a simple white fitted blazer over it. Yan Luoxi casually tied up her hair, revealing her smooth forehead and fair neck. She wore simple diamond earrings, looking fresh and gentle, elegant in demeanor.

She paired it with a pair of white leather boots and left the room carrying a small bag.

You two can team up to deal with me, but I can also seek external help. Let's see who can come up with better solutions!

Sitting on the sofa watching TV, Xue Liping was surprised to see Yan Luoxi’s outfit and widened her eyes in astonishment, "Luoxi, are you going for a walk"

These days, to avoid Li An, Yan Luoxi hadn't left the house for many days. Even if she went out occasionally, it was just short walks around the neighborhood.

"It's not a walk; I'm going on a date," Yan Luoxi smiled happily at her mother and turned to look at herself in the mirror from both sides. No wonder they say pregnant women become more beautiful; she felt that now, except for her bigger belly, she looked better than before.

"A date Who with" Xue Liping opened her mouth in surprise, having not heard Li An mention contacting his daughter.

"Gu Yuehui," Yan Luoxi smiled sweetly at her mother who seemed somewhat surprised.

"You... How did you get back in touch Didn't you dislike him" Xue Liping frowned in confusion.

"Aren't you the one who was always advising me to be with him recently I didn’t understand it back then, but now I suddenly get it. Gu Yuehui is really great and suits me well. He’s handsome and refined, and most importantly, he cares about me. He will also take good care of our child in the future..." Yan Luoxi recited her mother's nagging words seriously.

"Oh dear, Luoxi, all my thoughts before were wrong," upon hearing this, Xu Liping got anxious and quickly stood up from the sofa to hold onto Yan Luoxi’s hand earnestly. "Luoxi, I was mistaken in my previous thinking. After what happened at the hospital that day, I have thoroughly understood. Your Aunt Wang is unreasonable and has no manners, so no matter how good Gu Yuehui is, you mustn’t marry him."

"Yuehui promised me that as long as I agree to date him, he will do everything in his power to protect me. He would apply for a job elsewhere or take me abroad if necessary, keeping us far away from Aunt Wang."

Seeing her mother's expression, Yan Luoxi felt a sense of satisfaction from getting even with her. She took back the hand that her mother was holding and smiled happily: "Mom, don’t worry. I won’t make a mistake this time."

"No, absolutely not!" Xu Liping grabbed Yan Luoxi’s arm again in panic. "Luoxi, listen to your mom. You mustn’t date Gu Yuehui..."

Before Yan Luoxi could respond, her phone inside her bag rang. She took out the call and seeing that it was from Gu Yuehui, she smiled like a flower: "Yeah, you’re here I’ll be right there!"

Xu Liping, seeing her daughter’s determination, thought about Li An who was sitting in the car outside the door. She got so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and wouldn’t let go of Yan Luoxi: "Luoxi, you can't go! You mustn’t go..."

"Mom, I’m pregnant, please don’t pull me like this or you might hurt my little girl," Yan Luoxi had made up her mind long ago and wouldn’t listen to her mother’s persuasion. She wiped off the smile from her face: "If you continue forcing your way into my dating life, I won't return home anymore."ful or accept him. He had been too eager.So Shao Junhe took a deep breath and said, "Alright then, Luoxi, you don't have to return my money and don’t need to be my girlfriend. Let's just be good frien...
