Chapter 217: Chapter 217 - 217 181 You Made a Mistake and It's Ridiculous_1

217: Chapter 181: You Made a Mistake, and It’s Ridiculous_1 217: Chapter 181: You Made a Mistake, and It’s Ridiculous_1 Li Weihuan had a bad temper.

Being their only son and the youngest amongst the two daughters, he was always spoiled.

How could Qi Qun not love the son who had brought her pride and joy?

Because she cherished him so much, she always wanted to give him the best of everything and hoped that he would reciprocate.

But, in reality, things didn’t always go as planned.

Now, seeing her son’s stubbornness, she feared that he might leave home and forget them entirely.

She’d raised her son for over twenty years and knew his character.

So even if it felt unpleasant, she had to suppress her feelings for the time being.

She asked, “Weihuan, what does it mean that you brought Nanxi home for the first time and then decided to leave without even coming inside?”

Li Weihuan didn’t respond.

He didn’t care.

Qi Qun took a deep breath and asked, “Weihuan, are you angry about Yuchen’s issue?”

Li Weihuan still didn’t reply.

Qi Qun said, “Weihuan, listen to me.

It was unexpected for Yuchen to be home today.

You know, she went abroad before she even turned sixteen.

She just got back, and as a thoughtful girl, it’s normal for her to come see me.

She didn’t know that you would bring Nanxi home today.

I can’t kick her out when she has already arrived.

You and Yuchen grew up together, and we should respect that relationship.

What I said earlier…

they were just pleasantries.”

When Qi Qun finished speaking, she saw Li Weihuan softening his stance but showing no signs of backing down.

Feeling helpless, she turned her gaze to Nanxi reluctantly.

Nanxi smiled at her politely and called out, “Auntie…

”

Qi Qun nodded without any emotion and said, “Try to convince Weihuan.

We have guests coming over today.

Your uncle’s health is not good.

Muyun and Mufang are still on the way and haven’t made it back yet.

If you leave like this…”

“Auntie, you’ve misunderstood!” Nanxi rushed to reply, with a smile on her face.

She said, “Weihuan said that the scenery in this courtyard is exceptionally beautiful.

He plans to show me around, not leave!”

After finishing, Nanxi smiled and tugged Li Weihuan’s arm.

Li Weihuan didn’t want to upset Nanxi — he could tell she was indeed angry just now!

Now, he felt even guiltier for being unfilial.

He realized he wasn’t afraid of his mother’s anger or that of his sisters’, but he was afraid of upsetting Nanxi.

He glanced at Qi Qun and said, “Mom, go back first.

I’ll take Nanxi around the courtyard for a bit.”

On hearing this, Qi Qun breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “Don’t wander around for too long, come in after a while.

Your father…

he still wants to see Nanxi.”

…

After Qi Qun left, Nanxi took a deep breath, looked at Li Weihuan, who felt ashamed under her gaze.

“Nanxi, I…” He began.

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw tears welling up in Nanxi’s eyes, a dampness slowly seeping out.

Alarmed, Li Weihuan reached out and pulled Nanxi into his arms.

He said, “Nanxi, I’m sorry.”

…

When Qi Qun entered the house, she saw Ye Yuchen standing at the door.

She hurriedly walked up to her and apologetically asked, “Yuchen, why did you come out?”

Ye Yuchen, with furrowed eyebrows, looked at the embracing figures in the distance and asked Qi Qun, “Auntie, is that Weihuan?

And the girl…

is she Weihuan’s girlfriend?”

With an awkward expression, Qi Qun replied, “Yes, that’s Weihuan.

As for the girl…

he’s been dating her impulsively.

It’s her first time at our home, and I haven’t accepted her yet.

I was planning to ask them to break up…”

Ye Yuchen didn’t pay attention to Qi Qun’s words, she just stared into the distance, her gaze filled with inquiry.

…

They wandered around the courtyard for over half an hour, during which most of the time was spent calming Nanxi’s emotions.

Nanxi rarely cried, but it had to be admitted, she had shed a lot of tears for Li Weihuan over the years.

Li Weihuan was unsure whether to describe their relationship as sweet or something else.

In any case, he felt that he gave her too much sorrow.

He hoped for her happiness, but always felt he could not deliver!

When Nanxi and Li Weihuan entered, Qi Qun was sitting in the living room, and Ye Yuchen was sitting across from her, embodying the image of a refined lady!

Li Weihuan led Nanxi over, gave a brief greeting, and then his eyes fell on Ye Yuchen, “Yuchen, long time no see!”

Ye Yuchen’s gaze lingered on Li Weihuan for a moment, glanced at Nanxi standing beside Li Weihuan and their intertwined hands, then gifted them a sweet smile, “Long time no see, Weihuan!”

…

Li Mufang and Li Muyun returned quickly.

Upon seeing Ye Yuchen, they both frowned slightly, but their disapprovals were beautifully masked, maintaining their smiles on the surface!

After exchanging a few courtesies, Li Muyun found an excuse to call Qi Qun upstairs.

After closing the door, she asked Qi Qun, “Why did Yuchen come here?”

“I invited her over!”

“Mother, what are you thinking?

Why did you invite her here?”

“I just wanted that little goblin to see what kind of girl is worthy of my son!

Yuchen just returned home a few days ago.

She spent her childhood with Weihuan, and they have a good relationship, so I thought…”

“Mother…” Li Muyun took a deep breath, her chest heaved slightly, “Mother, listen to me, you’re wrong about this, terribly wrong!”

“If I’m wrong, then I’m wrong.

Are you telling me to accept that goblin from the Gu family and develop a close mother-daughter relationship?

I can’t do that, I can’t possibly accept her, not in this lifetime!”

“Whether you accept her is one matter, but bringing Yuchen here to treacherously match-mate her with your son is another!

Mother, Weihuan could stay and accompany you for dinner today because Nanxi is an understanding girl.

If it wasn’t so, your son would already be driven away by you!”

Qi Qun was momentarily stunned, at a loss for words!

…

When Li Mufang and Qi Qun came out, Qi Qun didn’t look too well.

Sensing her mood, Ye Yuchen politely asked if she was okay.

Qi Qun shook her head, “It’s nothing.

Just didn’t sleep well last night.

Don’t worry!”

Ye Yuchen smiled, “I brought some sleep-enhancing beauty supplements from abroad when I returned.

Next time I visit, I’ll bring some for auntie!”

On hearing this, Qi Qun replied in a hurry, “Oh my!

Yuchen, how can I accept this from you?

There’s no need!”

Ye Yuchen, reaching for Qi Qun’s hand intimately, said, “Auntie, don’t stand on ceremony with me.

After all, you’ve watched me grow up.

In my heart, you’re just like my own mother, refusing my gift is just like treating me as an outsider!”

“Ahem!” Li Muyun cleared her throat, “Let’s sit down first!”

Qi Qun snapped out of her reverie, smiled and pulled Ye Yuchen to sit down.

Li Weihuan and Nanxi both looked rather unhappy.

Li Mufang stood up to call Li Xiangchen from upstairs, leaving the rest in the living room to chat.

Not everyone was talkative, especially Nanxi, and the conversation was most often carried by Ye Yuchen and Li Muyun!

They began discussing Li Weihuan’s childhood, which Nanxi knew nothing about and had never heard Li Weihuan mention, so she could only stay quiet and listen while smiling amusedly.

Seeing Nanxi was in a good mood, Li Weihuan put up with the relentless dissection of his past!

Li Weihuan came here today with Nanxi for a specific purpose.

He thought that, plainly speaking, it’s to show everyone that he has chosen this girl named Nanxi and will not change his decision, no matter what anyone says!

He’s always ignored their opinions, and he’s used to it!

Ye Yuchen asked Nanxi how long she had been together with Li Weihuan.

When Nanxi replied “six years,” Ye Yuchen was visibly taken aback, probably not expecting it had been that long!

Ye Yuchen mused, “During middle school, Weihuan was the kind of person who would come wind or rain, and always operated on a three-minute passion.

Therefore, girls in their class often said that Li Weihuan would likely never have a girlfriend, and wouldn’t love a girl…”

Li Weihuan pulled a smile, yes, he did think once that he would never fall in love.

Little did he know that he would indeed fall in love with a girl, and it would be an inescapable love!
