Bold and passionate love: Acting coquettishly in Mr. Huo's arms

The slap hurt her face and heart.

There was even a moment when I doubted whether I had done something wrong.

The bracelet on my wrist was slightly cool against my skin.

As if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, she tightly grasped the bracelet, as if in doing so she was grasping her love and future.

She's not wrong.

Her goal since childhood was to marry Zhong Shaoyang and become his bride.

After much difficulty, their relationship has eased, and she absolutely cannot let Zhong Shaoyang down.

"I'm not wrong. I didn't do anything wrong."

She murmured, not knowing whether she was speaking to Mr. and Mrs. Li or to herself: "Brother Shaoyang loves me so much, I should do something for him. I just want to help him, I'm right."

Mr. Li's hands were shaking.

He loved his daughter for more than 20 years, and when he slapped her, she felt pain, and as a father, he felt even more pain.

But her stubbornness made him sad and disappointed.

He could only harden his heart and close his eyes tightly: "You are now married into the Zhong family and are the daughter-in-law of the Zhong family. Your mother and I are not old yet, and the Li family is still ours."

"If I say I won't lend it, I definitely won't lend it. Until your mother and I die, the Li family will always be the Li family."

He seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, his voice was vicissitudes: "When we die, whether you want to keep it for yourself or give it to Zhong Shaoyang, we can't control it."

"Dad, you can't do this!"

Li Mian looked up in disbelief: "How will Brother Shaoyang see me like this? How will my parents-in-law see me?"

She made a promise when she went out.

"If you want to blame us, go ahead!"

He waved his hand and sighed, "I'm old now and can't care so much. If you blame us, just live your own life in the Zhong family. If you don't blame us, just come to see us occasionally, and I'll be satisfied."

"No, Dad, don't say that..."

His heart suddenly became panicked, and Li Mian raised his hand to grab something.

She felt empty for a moment, as if she had lost something. She couldn't help but shed tears: "Dad, don't you want me anymore?"

"Old Li..." Mrs. Li couldn't help crying, and choked up, "Don't be like this, Xiaomian is still pregnant... What if she gets hurt from crying?"

"She's pregnant. She's going to be a mother, not a child."

With slightly red eyes, Mr. Li insisted: "I don't ask her to be filial. She doesn't want a way out, so I have to leave a way out for ourselves."

Mrs. Li covered her face and started crying.

Li Mian looked around, feeling even more panicked.

How did it become like this?

It’s just borrowing some money. Considering the relationship between the Zhong and Li families, isn’t it a small matter?

What's more, now that they are close relatives, wouldn't this money just be transferred from one hand to the other?

She couldn't figure it out, her heart ached so much that she felt like she couldn't breathe, and she couldn't control her tears.

Seeing the mother and daughter crying, President Li felt very distressed. He grabbed Mrs. Li and stood up: "Xiaomian, think it over carefully... Mom and Dad are waiting for you at home."

After saying that, he turned around and left with Mrs. Li.

Li Mian sat there in a daze, looking at their backs, reaching out to grab something, but only grasping something empty.

Did she really do something wrong?

Just when she was confused, a young man's voice suddenly sounded beside her: "Madam, do you need a refill of coffee?"

Then came a sweet voice that she remembered vividly: "No, thank you."

Li Mian's eyes widened suddenly, he stood up, pulled open the screen, and screamed, "Ruan Xingchen, why are you here?!"

A hint of helplessness flashed in Ruan Xingchen's eyes.

I originally just wanted to watch a show, but because Feng Chen and Zhou Shumei left first, the waiter thought there was no one here.

I came over to pack my things, saw her and greeted her, but this attracted Li Mian instead.

After listening to the whole story from beginning to end, she felt pretty good knowing that the Zhong family was in trouble as planned.

That’s right, the current situation of the Zhong family was already part of her and Zhong Zeshan’s plan.

We promised revenge, how could we let them go just like that?

Waving her hand at the uneasy waiter, motioning him to leave, Ruan Xingchen curled her red lips and said lazily, "Why? Is this shop owned by Miss Li... Oh, no, Madam Zhong's family? I can't come?"

"You, you actually eavesdropped on other people's conversations, do you have any manners?!"

Li Mian gritted his teeth in hatred and wiped his face hard.

He couldn't help showing a hint of embarrassment.

When meeting Feng Chen and the others, they were already familiar with each other, so Ruan Xingchen didn't dress up deliberately.

She was wearing a solid light purple dress, revealing a pair of jade-white arms, so white that people were afraid to look directly at her.

The drawstring design outlines her slender waist, and her long hair is casually draped behind her head.

It looks casual yet elegant, with a touch of compelling color in its calmness, as if lighting up the entire space.

What about her?

Li Mian subconsciously clutched the fabric around her abdomen.

Because she was pregnant, even though her pregnancy was not obvious, she still wore flat shoes, a slightly loose cotton skirt, and no makeup.

Her already pretty appearance looked even more ordinary in front of Ruan Xingchen.

It just so happened that she had just cried, her eyes were red and swollen, and there were tear marks on her face, which made her look so ugly.

She wished she could find a crack to crawl into, and suddenly regretted that she had impulsively come here.

How could she allow herself to be outdone by her love rival?

"I wasn't eavesdropping."

Ruan Xingchen curled her lips and said calmly, "If you want to blame someone, blame Madam Zhong for being so loud. I can't help but listen."

"You!" Li Mian was so angry that he almost exploded.

Just then, her cell phone rang.

When she saw the caller ID, her eyes moved and she looked over with a hint of pride.

No matter what, Zhong Shaoyang is her husband now, and she is the ultimate winner.

Thinking of this, she felt much better.

When she answered the phone, her voice was especially sweet: "Brother Shaoyang? You called me just after I came out for a while? Did you miss me?"

His tone rose and he emphasized his pronunciation, as if he was afraid that Ruan Xingchen might not hear clearly.

Zhong Shaoyang on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before he said, "It's inconvenient for you because you're pregnant. I'm at the coffee shop. Where are you? I'll come pick you up."

come over?

Do not!Can't!

Li Mian had just clearly realized the tragic contrast, and how could she bear to let Zhong Shaoyang witness this scene with his own eyes.

Her voice rose unconsciously and she squeaked, "No! Don't come over here! I don't need you to answer!"

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so excited?"

Zhong Shaoyang's voice was a little doubtful, and he suddenly said: "I saw you, stand still."

Do not!

Li Mian's pupils were dilated, and it was hard to tell whether it was fear or something else on his face. He subconsciously looked towards the door.

Zhong Shaoyang was standing at the door, holding his cell phone. He waved at her gently and walked quickly towards her.
