Luo Haochen's request was coercion, which Yun Mengxue could not accept.

Yes, this is the sad thing about her. No matter how dissatisfied she is with Luo Haochen's behavior, she will eventually lower her head in front of her father for the sake of him.

"Shout or not?!"

With so much force, Yun Mengxue made a faint sound of pain from the gap between her clenched teeth.

"You might as well kill me directly to avenge the person in your heart!"

Yun Mengxue was still stubborn, and Luo Haochen suddenly wanted to let her go. Yun Mengxue was startled, and quickly reached out to hold Luo Haochen's arm. He raised his brows slightly, and his victorious smile disappeared in a flash.

"Can't bear to leave me?"

The hand holding Luo Haochen trembled slightly. Yun Mengxue didn't want to let go, nor did she not let him go. She simply held on to him tightly.

"I know...I know what you want, I beg you...please..."

Luo Haochen seemed to be waiting for Yun Mengxue to continue speaking, but when those words came to his lips, Yun Mengxue couldn't speak no matter what.

"never mind."

Lifting Yun Mengxue's chin with his fingers, Luo Haochen looked down at the embarrassed woman under him, his eyes covered with frost.

"Yun Mengxue, remember this! If you want your father to feel better, you'd better stop showing off your stubborn temper in front of me!"

Lowering her eyes, Yun Mengxue swallowed her anger and silently bore the shame and pain, but the cruelty continued...

A few days later, it rained heavily.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the other end of the Yong Road washed by rain, Yun Mengxue's mood was as depressing as the weather outside the window.

"Mengxue, come over for dinner."

Xu Yeli came behind Yun Mengxue and gently called her name. Yun Mengxue quickly tried her best to smile and turned around as much as possible to relax herself.

"Auntie, he hasn't come back yet. It's raining so heavily, I'm a little worried."

Yun Mengxue said something inconsistent, but in her heart she hoped that the demon Luo Haochen would never come back, at least then she would not have to face Luo Haochen and his bad actions.

Luo Haochen didn't recognize Xu Yeli as her stepmother, and Yun Mengxue couldn't call her "mom". It was not good to call her "mom", so she didn't care whether Luo Haochen wanted to or not, so she just called Xu Yeli "aunt".

.

Xu Yeli took Yun Mengxue's hand and comforted her while walking to the dining room.

"The newlyweds are so loving. His father and I are also very happy. Don't worry, it will be fine. Besides, it is not uncommon for Haochen not to go home to have dinner together on weekends like this."

Xu Yeli's words made Yun Mengxue look slightly surprised, and she realized that she had said too much. Xu Yeli quickly changed her words with a smile.

"After all, he has to be busy with the company, so it's normal that he doesn't have time to come back for dinner. It's really hard for him to leave a stall as big as the company to Haochen to be managed by one person."

Yun Mengxue could understand Xu Yeli's embarrassment. Although she didn't know enough about this family, her observation while serving tea on the morning after the wedding had given Yun Mengxue a shot in the arm.

"Auntie, there is that kind of person who rarely shows his feelings to the outside. However, this does not mean that he does not hold them in his heart. He is just not good at expressing them. Don't take it to heart."

Yun Mengxue was sensible and considerate. What she said made Xu Yeli feel warm in her heart. She held Yun Mengxue's hand and couldn't help but tighten it slightly.

Yun Mengxue lowered her head and glanced at the hand holding her own. It was so warm, just like her mother's, and Yun Mengxue felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

If possible, Yun Mengxue really hopes that she can treat Xu Yeli as her own mother. However, she cannot ignore Luo Haochen's existence. The fate of the Yun family is still in Luo Haochen's hands. She can get angry even if she doesn't want to offend him, so why?

Maybe against the wind?

Sitting at the dining table, Yun Mengxue found that it seemed to feel better than sitting at the big dining table in Luo Haochen's house. She was the only one there, but here, there were four people sitting together. The round dining table was even more

It adds to the atmosphere of home.

"Mengxue, you're welcome, eat some vegetables."

Xu Yeli picked up the spare chopsticks and picked up vegetables for Yun Mengxue.

"Thank you, auntie."

Yun Mengxue felt a little reserved. After all, this was her first time dining with the Luo family.

A pair of eyes that don't know where to look, always staring at the job bowl, which seems not very polite.
