Unlucky Love Affairs

Since even the sometimes dimwitted An Qi could see the ulterior motives of Gu Xiaonan and her mother, how could the clever little An Yufei not know their thoughts as well?

The only one who was kept in the dark was probably An Yufei's grandfather, who was always coaxed and manipulated by his wife's and step-daughter's gentle talk. In fact, the reason why An Yufei had agreed to return to the old house with An Qi was to explore her grandpa's current living environment.

She had instantly recognized that the two women living there were really two wily foxes, one big and one small, who had been plotting her mother's demise for a long time. In An Qi's absence of An Qi during the day, An Yufei appeared to be engaged in storybooks, when in fact, that was just a cover to fool the others.

One day, after Zeng Xuerou lowered her guard against her, An Yufei hid behind Zeng Xuerou's door to listen to a conversation between her and Gu Xiaonan. It was then that An Yufei uncovered their plan, but as for the mysterious person they were talking about, she never was able to guess his identity.

Nevertheless, it really didn't matter, as An Yufei would never allow An Qi to stay in her old house after she'd found out that someone was wanting to cause her harm! So, when she noticed someone slipping a big box under her bed while she was taking a nap, An Yufei went on pretending to sleep, without exposing anything at the time.

So, it was not at all surprising to An Yufei when Zeng Xueru screamed in the kitchen when she'd found the herbaceous snakes, nor was it a shock when An Shi Jie, who loved his wife, had that same reaction when he'd thoroughly checked inside and outside the old house and found the herbaceous snakes in her room.

"An Yufei, are you cold?" An Qi asked as she wrapped a scarf around An Yufei.

"Mom, the temperature has risen these past few days. Haven't you checked the weather forecast lately?" An Yufei once again exposed An Qi's scatterbrained tendencies a bit mercilessly, but the corners of her lips lifted unconsciously into a smile, as she did enjoy being spoiled and cared for by her mother.

"Ah... Is that so?" An Qi really didn't have an answer for her daughter.

In fact, as she thought back on how busy she had been with Hairui's inventory these days, she realized that she really hadn't had time to pay any attention to the weather.

An Qi eagerly took out her cell phone, as she wanted to confirm what An Yufei had said. Instead, she surprisingly saw a text message that told her that was informing her that she still hadn't paid her phone bill!

At that moment, An Qi's signal in the upper left corner of her cell phone suddenly disappeared, while an awkward smile instantly appeared on her face. An Qi was annoyed, then she felt tired all the sudden as she thought…

Da*n it! Why is this street so long? Will we ever reach the end?

She wasn't sure if it was because she'd seen the f*ckboy Yu Hao, but when she came back from Leng Group, An Qi had felt nauseous. Then, when she got home and saw that An Yufei had been wrongly accused, she had forgotten all about it, at least until now.

At that moment, the familiar dizzy and nauseous feeling returned in full force, almost bringing An Qi to her knees! She seemed to have experienced this similar feeling when she was pregnant with An Yufei.

As An Qi was sure that she had never been with any other men recently, it certainly ruled out pregnancy as the issue. So, she had to wonder... What does it mean that I am having such a feeling at this time?

The answer was clear within seconds...

"An Qi!" At that moment, someone called out her name from behind her.

It was not her father's voice, but one that was much more refreshing. She seemed to have heard it somewhere before...

At that moment, An Yufei tugged at her mom's hand and said, "Mom, there's an uncle calling you..."

An Yufei glanced back at Leng Yuchen's handsome face and smiled. As An Qi looked down at her daughter's naive smiling face, she helplessly rubbed her forehead and adopted her best teacher voice.

She then said, "An Yufei, what did I tell you? You can't talk to strangers, especially when it's in the evening and the stranger is a man!"

An Yufei was speechless upon hearing her mother rebuke, especially as she had used such a serious tone.

At the same time, Leng Yuchen, who had basically heard everything that An Qi had just said, piped up and said, "An Qi, I'm not a bad person..."

Upon hearing him, An Qi instantly stopped in her tracks as she chided herself... Why did I speak so loudly?

She glanced at An Yufei, clearly asking for help with her facial expression, but her daughter just shrugged and whispered, "Who knows how you got caught up in this unlucky love affair, but even I can't help you with it now!"

This child! An Qi was clearly frustrated as she turned around angrily and muttered, "What unlucky love affairs? My love has only bloomed once, and then I had you! When would I have gotten another chance to have any other love affair since then… Lucky or unlucky?"

However, when she looked at Leng Yuchen, the whole world seemed to stand still. It was just a glance, but it felt like a lifetime had passed between them.

She'd finally experienced what it was like when Dong Manman felt lovestruck. After all, when a man looks so good, there's really nothing a woman can do to avoid being smitten.

The most important thing was that the beauty of Leng Yuchen was not the feminine kind of beauty that the young cute guys on the streets possessed, but it was a more heroic kind of handsome, which was much more manly. Still, she couldn't shake the feeling that he looked so familiar...

An Yufei looked up at her mother's stupefied gaze and sighed secretly as she thought… Come on, can't you tell who he might be?

Although An Qi's stunned expression was still quite lovely, Leng Yuchen completely lost his patience. When he was at the Leng Group's door, he'd watched his eldest brother steal the chance to rescue An Qi, but at the same time, he'd also discovered Gu Xiaonan's and Yu Hao's plan.

Now that he had identified the culprit who had wanted to cause An Qi's death, Leng Yuchen could no longer tolerate the pain of meeting her, without being reunited with her!

An Yufei poked An Qi secretly for a moment. Only then An Qi realize that the person who was talking was the Leng Group's legendary president, Leng Yuchen, the younger brother of Leng Jin!

"Oh, Boss Leng, hello!" An Qi rushed up to him and held out her hand to shake Leng Yuchen's hand, which he'd been holding out for a long time.

That simple touch caused Leng Yuchen's heart to throb. He then took hold of An Qi's little hand quietly, never wanting to let go.

Huh? An Qi was accustomed to polite and formal handshakes, so she was somewhat curious as to what this legendary cold and often high and mighty President was doing!

His big hands were powerful, and An Qi could feel the roughness of his fingers. But, she couldn't just allow him to hold on to her hand and not let go for much longer. After all, it would seem indecent!

Just as An Qi was contemplating whether or not she should pull her hand away, Leng Yuchen's actions became even more astonishing. At that moment, Leng Yuchen held onto her right hand, while he pulled An Qi into his embrace with ease using his other arm. He then held her tightly...
