Chapter 17 Shield

in a black skirt.These days, he had gotten used to seeing Yán Luòxī in oversized hospital gowns and hadn't minded it. But now that she was wearing a skirt, with her pale arms and slender legs exposed...Chapter 17 Shield

When Xu Liping saw her daughter's cold face, she became a bit frightened. Her relationship with Yan Luoxi had never been good originally; it was only recently that they began to mend their ties. She really didn't dare to be domineering towards Yan Luoxi as a mother and certainly did not want to confront her.

Seeing her daughter walk lightly towards the door, Xu Liping felt an impending sense of dread.

Lǐ n was actually the least patient person. From childhood until now, he hated waiting the most. But now, in order to be able to see Yan Luoxi one more time, he would wait outside her house every day like a man waiting by a tree for a rabbit.

If this had happened before, having Lǐ n sit inside his car all day just to catch a glimpse of someone was unimaginable. But now that he stood near Yan Luoxi, his heart felt oddly at peace. He felt that the small world around him was incomparably better than the colorful outside world.

Lǐ n sat in his car with soft music playing inside (For more and faster chapters, please visit [website]). He stared at Yan Luoxi's front door.

The tightly closed door finally opened. Out stepped a long-absent Yan Luoxi. Lǐ n took only one glance at her figure before his heart started to race with excitement. His eyes narrowed slightly; Yan Luoxi looked especially beautiful today. Although her belly was noticeably protruding, it added much charm and mature sensuality.

Lǐ n's mood surged wildly as he stared intently at Yan Luoxi. As he continued watching, something seemed amiss. His smile froze slightly; Yan Luoxi’s attire today clearly indicated she was going out, but Xu Liping wasn't accompanying this small pregnant woman.

Wait a moment, where is Yan Luoxi heading towards an Audi car And the man stepping down from the car is handsome and refined, smiling broadly as he opens the car door for Yan Luoxi.

Luo An's smile vanished instantly. He couldn't help but furrow his brows. What was going on

Before Luo An could figure out the situation, the Audi in front of him had already started moving. Without a second thought, he pressed down hard on the accelerator and followed.

Yan Luoxi caught sight of the stationary Passat suddenly starting up with incredible speed and quickly catching up through her rearview mirror. A corner of her mouth curled upwards as she laughed happily.

Luo An was far from in a good mood like Yan Luoxi at this moment. While driving, he called Xue Liping on the phone. "Auntie, where is Luoxi going And who's that man who just picked her up"

Xue Liping had been observing the outside from inside all along and knew that Luo An had seen everything when she saw him start his car to follow. She hadn’t even gotten around to calling Luo An yet, before he called first.

She realized at this point there was no need to hide anything anymore. On the phone, she told Luo An about Guo Yuehui’s situation and how Guo Yuehui had been pursuing Yan Luoxi.

Luo An's originally somewhat relaxed heart instantly tensed up upon hearing what Xue Liping said over the phone. His mind was filled with frustration, worry, and gloominess. He already found it difficult enough to win back Yan Luoxi. Now another rival had appeared on the scene, which made Luo An feel overwhelmed.

Although he didn’t understand Guo Yuehui very well, after just one glance at him, he felt an immense pressure. This man was somewhat similar to Zhou Guangtao in some aspects, exactly fitting Yan Luoxi's taste and aesthetic preferences.

Guo Yuehui knew that Yan Luoxi disliked noise due to her pregnancy; thus, he brought her to a quiet club house, finding an elegant corner by the window for them to sit down.

Yan Luoxi was in a great mood today, radiant and glowing. Even Gu Yuehui felt honored, hastily pouring her some water but accidentally spilling it on his hand.

"Are you okay Does it hurt" Yan Luoxi immediately leaned forward, grabbing Gu Yuehui's hand and examining it carefully, gently blowing air onto the reddened fingers. "Why are you so careless today This isn't like your usual self."

Seeing that there was nothing serious about Gu Yuehui’s hand, Yan Luoxi continued to blow on his hand while joking with him.

Gu Yuehui looked at the smiling and considerate little woman in front of him, lost in thought. He just stared at her intently, his gaze deep and mysterious.

He didn't know when it started, but Yan Luoxi's every move, every smile, had gradually left an indelible mark on his heart.

Ever since their first encounter in a hotel in the capital city, her image had been lingering in his mind. At that time, she was like a little child who lost protection, feeling terrified and helpless, treating him as if he were her only hope, fully trusting and depending on him. Her pitiful appearance completely ignited his innate compassion and sense of responsibility as a man.

He didn't know why, but he developed an intense affection for Yan Luoxi, wanting to protect and cherish her wholeheartedly.

No matter how many girlfriends his mother introduced him to later, he would always find himself thinking about Yan Luoxi.

Until later, when he unexpectedly ran into Yan Luoxi again in this city.

Park the car outside, Lian An. See a smiling figure at the window, holding hands tenderly. It makes him feel so angry that he wants to tear his liver and gallbladder apart, but Yan Luoxi's eyes are full of deep concern... making him feel that his eyelids are becoming increasingly heavy.

Seeing Gu Yuehui didn't respond for a long time, Yan Luoxi looked up just in time to meet Gu Yuehui's affectionate gaze. Realizing she was still holding his hand, her face flushed and she quickly let go of it.

Gu Yuehui also realized this at the same moment and smiled somewhat happily, pouring tea for Yan Luoxi again.

Yan Luoxi's face turned red as she looked down at the delicate chrysanthemum blooming in a transparent cup. The mist was swirling, and the fragrance was lingering gracefully.

"Luoxi, is that man who has been following Auntie these days your fiancé" This question had long troubled Gu Yuehui; although he was usually taciturn, he couldn't help but ask now.

Yan Luoxi looked at the floating chrysanthemum tea and sighed softly. "He's the father of my child."

Hearing Yan Luoxi say this, Gu Yuehui's expression darkened for a moment before he rallied himself again. "It seems that he isn't your fiancé yet; it remains to be seen whether he can win you back."

Yan Luoxi didn't want to give Gu Yuehui hope and hesitated for a moment, saying, "Whether he's my fiancé or not doesn't matter anymore. After the baby is born, I'll take him away to live somewhere else far from both him and my mother."

"Where are you going to live" Without thinking, Gu Yuehui asked.ger anymore and growled furiously, "This bunch of scoundrels actually dared to gang up on bullying a little girl. When I go out there, I’ll give them a good beating! I'll even strip the principal's ba...
