Chu Yunhang said, "What business is it of yours?"
Li Junyan suddenly cald down.
Chu Yunhang continued, "I didn’t force her! It takes two to tango, you know."
Li Junyan pressed his temples, gently freeing himself from Huo Tinghan’s hold.
Huo Tinghan sighed with relief as he saw him calm down.
He knew.
In his heart, Xiaoyi was an important family mber. He was worried that Xiaoyi would be bullied abroad, so he was sowhat impulsive.
Huo Tinghan looked at Chu Yunhang: "You go in first! You can book a room yourself, right?"
Chu Yunhang took the suitcase, said nothing, and dragged it inside.
After Chu Yunhang left, Du Huaixi finally opened the car door and got out.
Huo Zijin also got out of the car.
She looked at Li Junyan and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
Li Junyan said, "He’s not wrong; this isn’t sothing I should concern myself with."
Du Huaixi asked, "Does Uncle Rong know about this?"
Li Junyan replied, "Probably not."
Huo Tinghan said, "I can’t tell if Chu Yunhang was joking or if he was serious."
Li Junyan said, "Whether joking or serious, this man is not a good person."
Huo Tinghan said, "Calm down too. Xiaoyi just returned to the country. Let’s talk about it after a while. I’ll take you to get the car first."
...
In the evening.
Huo Tinghan and Huo Zijin returned ho.
Lin Jinmo also returned ho after dropping off Xiaoyi.
The two brothers t.
Their expressions were different.
Lin Jinmo obviously noticed sothing unusual on Huo Tinghan’s face and asked, "What did that man say to you?"
Huo Tinghan was also sensitive, asking, "What did Xiaoyi say to you?"
Lin Jinmo said, "Xiaoyi didn’t say anything to , just that I feel... she gave a strange vibe. She’s back in her own country, in her own ho, and doesn’t seem relaxed... she’s changed."
In the past, Xiaoyi was innocent and lively. Since going abroad, she beca more mature and harder to understand.
Huo Tinghan said, "That man said he and Xiaoyi have a child."
Lin Jinmo’s expression changed: "What?"
Huo Tinghan: "I don’t know if it’s true."
Huo Zijin yawned as she sat on the sofa.
Huo Tinghan imdiately asked, "Yinyin, are you tired? Go upstairs and sleep first."
Huo Zijin shook her head: "I don’t think he’d joke about sothing like this. They might really have a child."
Huo Tinghan: "His explanation was full of flaws. Indeed, so states abroad have passed laws making abortion illegal, but that only restricts doctors, not foreign citizens."
Huo Zijin: "That’s true. I rember Junyan saying she went to university in Missouri. If abortion is illegal there, she could go to another state for it."
Lin Jinmo: "I’ve heard that many universities abroad are politically correct. To support this law, they’re expelling students who undergo illegal abortions."
Huo Tinghan: "I’d rather believe Xiaoyi was deceived by that scoundrel."
Lin Jinmo: "Don’t worry. Like Xiaoyi said, she’s grown up and is a fully capable adult; she can take responsibility for herself. Don’t treat her as a child anymore."
After a pause, he looked at Huo Zijin and gently coaxed, "Yinyin, you must never make such a silly mistake."
Huo Zijin replied, "Don’t worry, brother!"
Lin Jinmo nodded reassuringly.
Huo Zijin said, "I noticed Junyan was quite angry today. It’s the first ti I’ve seen him like that."
Lin Jinmo shrugged: "Lucky Rong Yin wasn’t here today, or he’d be the one throwing the second punch."
The Rong Family’s internal relationships are very harmonious.
Although Rong Ling and Li Yufei are technically a blended family, the family’s relationships have always been harmonious.
Li Junyan is older than Rong Xiaoyi, but by generation, he should call her "Aunt."
However, Xiaoyi has never been comfortable with that title and has always seen Junyan as a brother.
And Rong Yin has always regarded Xiaoyi as a sister.
The three of them have been very close since childhood.
Huo Tinghan: "I’m afraid Xiaoyi doesn’t know how to bring this up either."
Lin Jinmo: "This is a matter for the Rong Family; you don’t need to worry."
Huo Tinghan: "Okay."
...
Night deepened.
Rong Xiaoyi had just finished her bath and was lying down on her bed.
Soone knocked on the door outside.
"Xiaoyi, are you asleep?"
It was Li Yufei’s voice.
Rong Xiaoyi imdiately sat up: "No, I’m not. Co in."
Li Yufei pushed open the door and ca in.
Seeing Xiaoyi had just gotten into bed, she walked over, "Xiaoyi, having just returned to the country, are you adjusting well?"
She sat by herbed.
Rong Xiaoyi smiled at Li Yufei and nodded gently.
Li Yufei said, "I’ve already called your brother. He said he’d be back tomorrow."
Rong Xiaoyi said, "I ca back this ti to discuss immigration with him."
Li Yufei was a bit surprised: "You want to immigrate?"
Rong Xiaoyi nodded, "I know this decision is sudden, but I’ve been weighing it for a long ti."
Li Yufei said, "I heard you brought a boy back this ti, saying he’s your boyfriend."
Rong Xiaoyi: "We’ve been dating for two and a half years."
Li Yufei furrowed her brows: "How co you never ntioned it before?"
Rong Xiaoyi said, "Originally, I thought it wouldn’t be too late to introduce him when our relationship was stable. Now, we’re ready to discuss marriage. He wants to settle abroad, so I’m considering immigration."
Li Yufei thought for a long ti and tentatively asked, "Do you have a child?"
Rong Xiaoyi’s expression froze for a mont.
Li Yufei said, "Xiaoyi, is this true?"
Rong Xiaoyi asked in return, "Who told you that?"
Li Yufei: "Junyan. He ca to as soon as he got back. This kind of thing, he finds it inconvenient to ask you since you’re both grown up now."
Rong Xiaoyi said, "Did Yunhang tell him?"
Li Yufei shook her head, "I don’t know about that. You know, Junyan really cares about you. You two grew up together. Although by generation, you’re his aunt, all these years, he’s always treated you like a sister."
Rong Xiaoyi nodded: "My brother is always busy. At the ti, you had just had Ah Yin and were too busy yourself, so it was indeed him who looked after ."
Li Yufei: "After you went abroad, there was seldom any news. Now, it’s rare for you to co back, yet suddenly you say you have a boyfriend ready for marriage, you’re planning to immigrate, and you even... have a child? Is this true?"
She was still uncertain about this matter.
Rong Xiaoyi lowered her head, her hands lightly clutching the quilt.
Li Yufei softly held her hand, "Xiaoyi, do you know? I’ve always thought of you as a half-daughter."
