Yan Luoxi was sitting on a plane flying to Zhu Kou, thinking about her mother and the events that had transpired, which kept resurfacing uncontrollably before her eyes.
The reason she chose to see He Yufan first over visiting her mother was because she knew how her mother was doing. However, since she hadn't seen He Yufan for a long time, she wasn’t sure whether Li An's description of his situation was true or not.
Thinking about past events, Yan Luoxi secretly hated Li An; in reality, part of her also blamed herself for being weak. If only she hadn't been greedy back then, no matter what trap Li An set up for her, she wouldn’t have fallen into it.
On the plane, a mother and daughter were seated next to Yan Luoxi. The little girl was about three years old, hugging a very cute brown teddy bear. She would occasionally look at Yan Luoxi and laugh innocently. Seeing this, Yan Luoxi couldn't help but miss Xiao Zhiyan.
Actually, from the moment she left home, she had already started missing Zhiyan. But because of her conflict with Li An, she couldn't take the child to see He Yufan, and thus had to suppress her heartache and anxiety as she left home.
When she returned to Zhu Kou City, Yan Luoxi sat in a taxi looking out the window listlessly. All she could think about was her daughter.
Yan Luoxi took a taxi back home, but before she opened the door, she heard her daughter's childish laughter. She thought it might be because she missed her daughter too much and had hallucinations; she quickly opened the room to find Xiao Zhiyan sitting on the sofa playing with her.
"Baby!" Yan Luoxi didn't even change her shoes before she rushed to hug her little daughter who was on the sofa. Xia Zhiyan saw Yan Luoxi and waved her chubby arms excitedly, looking delighted.
"Baby, Mom missed you so much!" Yan Luoxi held Xia Zhiyan in her arms, kissing and caressing her. Xia Zhiyan also kissed back hard, leaving Yan Luoxi's face wet with saliva.
"You little rascal! Did you miss your mom If you didn't, Mom would be heartbroken!" Looking at her daughter's beautiful face, Yan Luoxi couldn't help but hold Xia Zhiyan affectionately.
Xia Zhiyan was still too young to speak and could only make baby sounds in response to her mother's question.
Seeing the scene, Xue Liping, who was standing nearby, scolded Yan Luoxi somewhat disapprovingly. "You're not much better as a mom than I am! How could you leave your child at home just to see your classmates for so many days Your child must have missed you terribly!
And Li An—leaving such an attractive husband at home by himself! Nowadays, women are more calculating than knives; how many people are scheming to get ahead in life Aren't you afraid of giving others a chance
You're not worried about someone taking advantage of the situation"
Hearing her mother mention Li An, Yan Luoxi did feel a bit nostalgic for him. Holding Xia Zhiyan on the sofa, she softly asked, "How did the child come here Did Li An bring her"
"It wasn't Li An who brought her. He has meetings these past couple of days and your in-laws aren’t home, so he wouldn't feel safe leaving the kid by herself at home. So he had the nanny and security guard bring Xia Zhiyan here first. He said he would come to pick her up in a few hours." Xue Liping spoke while scrutinizing her daughter with furrowed brows. "What's wrong with you Have you had an argument with Li An"
"Mom!" Yan Luoxi, with a complex mix of emotions, turned to look at her mother. "If… if…"
"What's wrong" Xue Liping, looking serious, stared at Yan Luoxi and then grabbed her daughter's arm nervously. "If what Are you planning to divorce Li An I need to tell you that it’s absolutely not acceptable…”
"Mom, I'm not talking about that," Yan Luoxi gathered her courage and continued. "I’m asking if you were to realize the embezzlement at work was a trap, how would you feel Would you blame the person who set up the trap"
Upon hearing that Yan Luoxi wasn’t planning a divorce, Xue Liping heaved a sigh of relief and then shrugged with indifference. "You silly child, even if someone had laid a trap for me, it was my own greediness to fall into it! One must look inwardly for the cause of things; I was at least ninety percent responsible for that matter myself. If I hadn’t been greedy, no one else’s trap would have worked.
Moreover, actually now I’m very grateful for that incident because it made me see myself more clearly and taught me to be cautious. It also revealed the true colors of many friends. Now, running my new company, dealing with people in society is different from before; I am told that I’ve become much warmer, more graceful and composed!"
Yan Luoxi looked at her mother intently, scrutinizing her closely. "Mom, is this really what you think"
"Of course it is." Xue Liping patted Yan Luoxi’s head. “Everything has two sides to it; there might be blessings hidden in misfortunes. After that event, you and Li An got married smoothly, I have my own company now, and my mindset has become peaceful. Life feels a lot better.
Luoxi, I don’t know what you’ve discovered or who is involved with this matter, but Mom wants to tell you: All that’s past should be left behind; it doesn’t make sense to torment yourself for something already over and affect your current life. Besides, now I’m living better than ever before—I feel no need to seek out troubles!"
Yan Luoxi nodded gently at her mother, who she often met with lately and knew was living well.
She didn't tell her mother about Aly's role in all this. After all, she hadn't decided to divorce yet; it wouldn't be good for anyone if they knew the truth.
Holding Zhan Yan, she played with him in the living room until the doorbell rang. The housemaid ran to open the door and happily called out, "Master-in-law is here!"
"Is Zhan Yan behaving well I hurried over as soon as my meeting ended," Aly said loudly to avoid alarming Luoxi.
Luoxi didn't want Schuyler Lingping to see any unusual behavior between her and Aly. She turned around, acting nonchalant, and asked him, "What time did your flight arrive"
Aly thought that Luoxi had discovered he was following her. He stammered as he replied, "I didn't expect you to return from He Yufan's place so quickly. I missed the kids and had my family send a private jet for me."
Luoxi frowned slightly. "Even though we're fairly well-off, that doesn’t mean we should waste money like this by taking a private plane just for one person. If you have extra money later on, why not use it to do more charity work One of your personal flights could support many families' livelihoods for an entire year."
"You're absolutely right, my lady," Aly said cheerfully when he saw that Luoxi was finally talking to him. He sat down beside her; she had been gone from his life for too long and he truly missed her. "Luoxi, what kind of charity work do you want to do Tell me about it, I'll support you with all my heart..."r her head, making Yan Luoxi feel dizzy.Yan Luoxi never thought that arrogant Li An would say such heart-wrenching words to her. She momentarily went dumb and blinked several times before gaining her...
