As Zhao Yixue stormed through the the Zhao Family's living room, she shot an angry glare at her older brother, who was leisurely sipping tea. "Big Brother, help me!"
She thought to herself, how can he be so calm when his sister is about to be kidnapped?
Zhao Erfan merely responded with a faint smile. "Zhou Yang said the betrothal gifts would be quite generous. Yixue, make sure to treat him well!"
In that moment, Zhao Yixue felt betrayed by her brother, a wave of frustration washing over her. How could he team up with him to bully her like this?
Zhou Yang pulled her into the car, and it was then that Zhao Yixue noticed Luoluo was also there. The little one was struggling to keep her tired eyes open, reaching out for a hug.
"Why did you bring the child?" Zhao Yixue frowned and complained to Zhou Yang. "This father is so irresponsible, not considering the child at all!"
"That person is my ex-wife," Zhou Yang suddenly explained with a serious expression. "I discovered she has tendencies for domestic violence; Luoluo often has injuries on her. I divorced her two years ago. Luoluo is very afraid of her mother."
His last statement tugged at Zhao Yixue's heartstrings. She sighed softly and hugged Luoluo tightly, choosing not to say anything further.
At the the Zhou Family's home, Qin Min had not yet left. It turned out she had been receiving treatment in the hospital for a long time and now wanted to return to salvage her marriage.
Upon seeing Zhao Yixue, her expression darkened immediately. "What are you doing here again?"
Zhao Yixue straightened her back and responded defiantly, "Zhou Yang is my man, and Luoluo is my daughter. Why shouldn't I be here? You should be the one to leave!"
Her gaze was resolute, as if declaring to the world that she would fiercely defend her claim.
Qin Min was left speechless by her words, his face darkening with anger.
Zhou Yang watched the scene unfold, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth, clearly pleased by her declaration of him as her man.
When Zhao Yixue returned home, she silently locked herself in her room. She was angry at herself for being so foolish and easily falling into such a situation, but even more infuriated that Zhou Yang hadn’t come to explain himself!
Frustration and anxiety swirled within her until exhaustion finally took over, and she fell asleep, though her dreams were restless.
She opened her eyes groggily, only to be terrified to find someone climbing into her room. Before she could react, she was hoisted up and carried away.
"You're awake?" Zhou Yang raised an eyebrow in irritation, a flicker of anger in his eyes.
Seeing it was Zhou Yang made Zhao Yixue both shocked and furious. "What are you doing here? Put me down!"
"Zhao Yixue, I warn you not to provoke me!" Zhou Yang's warning glare bore into her. "Since the moment we met at the bar, you have no choice."
His tone was unyielding and authoritative, as if asserting his dominance. Did he think he was someone to be trifled with?
Zhao Yixue had initially thought that there wouldn't be any substantial progress between them until Zhou Yang resolved his issues with his ex-wife.
However, someone was truly despicable, using male charm to force her into wearing a wedding dress before her belly got too big.
Luoluo acted as the flower girl, trailing behind Zhao Yixue, calling out “Mama” in a sweet, tender voice that warmed her heart.
After a quick trip to the makeup room, she came out only to find that Luoluo had vanished.
Zhao Yixue anxiously scanned the area and spotted a woman approaching her adorable Little Angel not far away. Without hesitation, she lifted her skirt and rushed over, shouting, “That woman in the green dress better not have any designs on my daughter!”
In that moment, Zhao Yixue resembled a protective hen, seeing Qin Min and becoming alarmed, fearing that her precious Little Angel might be taken away.
Zhou Yang watched her so fiercely guarding their daughter and felt a pang of discomfort. A sour feeling rose within him as he said with a hint of jealousy, “So what you mean is that it’s okay for someone to have designs on me?”
He had never seen her so anxious about protecting someone!
In her heart, Zhao Yixue thought: Men can come and go, but there’s only one adorable daughter! So the daughter is the most important!
Yet seeing his clearly jealous expression made her worry that if her answer displeased him, he would surely throw a fit.
Zhao Yixue's eyes darted around cleverly before she plastered a flattering smile on her face and sweetly said, “Honey, I love you!”
