He took Luo Jingyan's small hand and placed it in his palm, holding it tightly.
Luo Jingyan glanced at him and smiled.
Finally, Luo's mother remembered something, "Jingyan, I have something to tell you, come with me for a moment."
"Okay, Mom."
Luo's mother pulled Luo Jingyan away. Xue Yanchen didn't know what the mother and daughter were going to talk about, and he was a little worried, afraid that his mother-in-law would suddenly change her mind and not let Luo Jingyan marry him.
