Chapter 66 Marry a Good Husband
prolonged high tension, her sudden relaxation made her collapse, but she desperately wanted to rush to Li An's side and see what was wrong with him. Yet, she lacked even a single bit of strength.Li An...Chapter 66: Marry a Good Husband
Lǐ n felt that this was an opportunity right in front of him. According to Xue Lìpíng's personality, if he told her about registering with Yán Luòxī, she wouldn't feel guilty but would rather be relieved.
"Auntie, Luòxī has been raised in my home since childhood. Our family members all like Luòxī very much. In fact, my parents treat Luòxī even better than they do me," Lǐ n smiled somewhat pitifully and helplessly before continuing: "Also, regarding the incident at the company last time, I've put it under wraps. My family doesn't know anything about it."
Xue Lìpíng was delighted but asked hesitantly, "Your family really doesn’t know about my situation Such a big matter; how could they not notice"
"Auntie, our company numbers are countless. For our family, Hongyuán Group is nothing more than a small company. My parents don't interfere with any business matters now. My elder brother is so busy that he's about to go crazy, and it’s even less likely for him to notice the trivial affairs of Hongyuán Group. Therefore, I can easily suppress this matter," Lǐ n implicitly did Xue Lìpíng a favor.
"Oh." Xue Lìpíng nodded with relief; she had been worried about this matter for days. She then blushed slightly and looked at Lǐ n: "Lǐ n, thank you."
"Auntie, don't ever say thanks to me. We are now one big family, and I should do anything for you." Lǐ n wore an expression of awe.
"Sigh, even though that's what you say, but since you and Luòxī haven’t officially married yet, I always feel like I owe you something," Xue Lìpíng was very troubled by the fact that Yán Luòxī hadn't truly married Lǐ n.
"Aunt, I'm sorry."
Li An looked at Xue Liping and suddenly felt incredibly remorseful.
"What do you have to be sorry for" Xue Liping was puzzled.
"Actually, a few days ago, Luo Xi and I registered. It's only because Luo Xi is shy and your mood has been off lately that we didn't tell you," Li An explained somewhat awkwardly.
"Really You and Luo Xi really did register..." Xue Liping was surprised and her eyes widened in delight. In this country, a wedding between a man and woman wasn’t legally binding; only registration provided legal protection. Her daughter would then truly become part of the Li family and could receive their share.
"Aunt, it's true. Luo Xi and I have registered. Luo Xi is your daughter. For not getting your blessing before registering, I'm really sorry. But I still want to give you a dowry. I plan on giving you a company. Would you like one in this city or another" Li An's expression was full of sincerity.
Xue Liping was stunned by the consecutive surprises and shook her head repeatedly. "I don't need anything, not even a dowry. As long as Luo Xi is happy, that makes me happier than anything."
"Aunt, you're giving away your daughter; my family still needs to give you a dowry. It's just that Luo Xi doesn’t want to mention the registration at the moment, so I can't give you any dowry."
"Why won't Luo Xi let you talk about registering"
"Luoxi doesn't want to go home with me right away, so she always delays and stops me from telling others," Li An looked at Xue Liping with a pitiful expression.
"This child..." Xue Liping laughed again, but also felt exasperated. "I'll talk to her when I get home."
"Aunt, please don't directly say that I told you about this matter. Luoxi would hate me if she knew, and she would take it even further by causing more trouble for me," Li An frantically waved his hands in alarm. "You know her current personality, I can't afford to provoke her..."
Xue Liping laughed heartily with delight, secretly thinking that her daughter was truly capable; if it were any other girl who married into such a good family, they would be eager to announce it to the whole world. But now Li An is asking her to do so instead—looks like she has managed to completely tame the arrogant and stubborn Li An.
"Alright, don't worry about it anymore. I know how to handle this. I'll find a way to make Luoxi admit on her own that she registered with you," Xue Liping spoke confidently, as she was most adept at scheming when necessary.
When Li An heard this assurance from Xue Liping, he felt reassured and drove happily home with her.
The next day after returning home, Xue Liping pretended to be unconcerned but began to look gloomy. By the third day, she was bedridden with illness. Upon seeing her mother's condition, Yan Luoxi panicked and called upon the nanny to take care of Xiaozhanyan while taking Xue Liping to see a doctor.
"Luoxi, you don't need to be afraid," Xue Liping leaned weakly against the headboard. "Mother isn't seriously ill; I just feel suffocating in my heart."
Yan Luoxi thought that her mom had suppressed her anger due to the previous incident. She sat worriedly by her mother's bedside, holding her hand. "Mom, if you feel unhappy living in this city, we can move somewhere else."
"That’s not it, Luoxi. Your mom isn’t thinking about herself; I’m already at my age and don’t have much to fear anymore. It’s just that I’m worried for you." Xue Liping looked at Yan Luoxi with infinite compassion. "Your relationship with Li An has always been full of ups and downs, and now I’ve caused such an incident. I’m afraid it will affect you. Just thinking about this makes me want to die..."
"Mom, why are you so worried I don’t care whether I marry Li An or not; if he doesn't want to marry me, that’s fine." Yan Luoxi spoke nonchalantly.
"You can be indifferent, but how can I be You’re my daughter, and there's also Zhan Yan. How can she grow up without a father Thinking about the bad impression we’ve given the Lis because of me makes me feel like a criminal; I really don’t want to live anymore." Xue Liping said this with infinite sorrow, her tears falling.
Seeing that her mother was blaming herself and feeling anxious over this matter, Yan Luoxi could no longer hide her engagement to Li An. She shook her mother’s hand and said, "Mom, don’t be sad. Actually, your affairs haven’t affected me at all; Li An and I have already... registered our marriage."
"Ah!" Xue Liping pretended to be surprised and widened her eyes. "You mean it You and Li An really got married"
"It’s true." Yan Luoxi nodded at her mother. "The certificate was kept by Li An; otherwise, I would have shown it to you." Just as if he feared that Yan Luoxi might change her mind, after their registration on that day, Li An treated the two little red books like treasures and took them away without leaving one with Yan Luoxi.
"You two made such a big decision without telling me; it just made me worry needlessly." Xue Liping wiped away her tears and smiled. "Sigh, Luoxi, I’m not being selfish or vain. Every mother hopes their daughter will marry someone good and from a reputable family. Seeing you marrying Li An makes me feel at ease even if I die now."l nervous. She smiled at her mother awkwardly and told her to lie down and rest for a while before leaving the room herself.Thinking of soon getting married to Li An made Yan Luoxi think about the Li...
