Gu Liang's Engagement (end)

Li Chen, having observed Li Yanyan's intriguing presence and the unfolding drama involving his mother and the Shans, felt a need to understand more about his family's secrets. He turned to his mother, Sun Lixia, with a thoughtful expression and said, "I think there is so much I need to know about you two."

Sun Lixia responded with a doting smile, "We have our whole lives to know each other well, son. I know you have your own secrets too."

Li Chen decided to excuse himself, saying, "Let me go to the bathroom; I'll be back."

Sun Lixia cautioned, "Be careful."

"Sure," Li Chen replied as he walked towards the bathroom. Familiar with the layout of the villa, he navigated without difficulty.

After finishing in the bathroom, Li Chen emerged to find Jiang Xiaolin waiting outside. She commented, "You know, I think a handsome man like you shouldn't do sugar mamas."

Li Chen, a bit puzzled, asked, "Do I know you?"
