Chapter 1248: Why Did You Abandon Him and the Child? (28)
Lu Yanzhi closed his eyes as he pinched the in-between of his eyebrows. He opened his mouth and said in a deep voice, “Your life belongs to you.”
‘The hardships that you bear are also yours. The decision is yours to make.’
‘To live or die, no one else can decide it for you.’
‘You can do whatever you like to do.’
Although Lu Yanzhi only said the first half of his sentence, the latter parts of the sentence were made very clear.
Li Mengyao froze momentarily and looked at the man before her—elegant yet unconcerned.
It felt like her heart was stabbed by a knife. She couldn’t help but ask, “Is it because of Qian Xun? So many years have passed but you still like her and still cannot forget her, am I right?”
Lu Yanchen’s eyes were cold and aloof, seemingly emotionless.
Li Mengyao gave a small smile but it could be seen that her smile was full of sadness and dismay. “If today Qianxun was the one saying these words, you would definitely be really happy! But it’s a pity that she would never say it because she doesn’t like you or perhaps she even dislikes you. Even if she gave birth to your kid, she would…”
“That’s enough!”
Lu Yanzhi’s voice suddenly rang in the car and cut off Li Mengyao’s words.
She could clearly see Lu Yanzhi’s cold face as a piercing coldness could be felt from between his eyebrows.
“Yanzhi…” Li Mengyao suddenly panicked as she knew that her words had crossed the line.
She wanted to explain herself but Lu Yanzhi did not give her the chance to do so.
The car door was suddenly unlocked and he didn’t say anything. It only hinted that she had to get out of the car.
After waiting for a while, he saw that Li Mengyao didn’t want to get out of the car, and so he indifferently said, “Who do I like or love is all my own business and I don’t have to explain it to someone who does not concern me.”
His words made Li Mengyao feel as though she had suddenly dropped into the cold sea—his words were painfully etched on her heart.
She wanted to cool down and change the topic to calm the tension between them but she did not have the courage to do so.
After Li Mengyao got out of the car, she saw Lu Yanzhi driving the car speedily and heaved a peal of heart-wrenching laughter. It turned out that the heartless words she would ever hear were not lectures.

After Lu Yanchen and Shi Guang went to fetch Xiao Bai, Lu Yanchen sent Shi Guang and Xiao Bai to the restaurant and left soon after.
After Xiao Bai ordered a plate of steak for himself. He then looked at Shi Guang opposite him and asked, “Why isn’t Little uncle eating with us?”
“Your Little uncle needs to work.” Shi Guang took a glance at Xiao Bai’s face. “Should we order a slice of cheesecake for you?”
“Yes! Little aunt is the best.” Xiao Bai’s voice was clean and crisp as he wore a happy expression on his face, but after a few seconds, his expression quickly turned cold. “I hate Auntie Li the most.”
“Why do you hate that Auntie Li so much?” asked Shi Guang.
“Because she wants to marry my daddy. Now that I have already found my mummy, how can I let her continue to pester my daddy? What if my mummy gets angry and refuses to marry my daddy forever? Wouldn’t I be very pitiful? There’s even a song that sings about how kids without a mother are like grass.”
With that, Xiao Bai propped his chin angrily. “I hate daddy for always eating with her, too.”
Shi Guang thought for a moment and said, “She is your daddy’s friend so you cannot be so impolite in front of her, do you understand?”
Xiao Bai pouted. “But I really don’t like her. She is not even pretty nor is she half as pretty as my mummy. My daddy has already said that he won’t marry and yet she still continues to pester him. Whenever Granny watches Korean dramas, she would scold the female supporting character for being shameless whenever she pesters the male lead. I also think that she is very shameless. What do you think, Little aunt?”
