The boy's terrifyingly soft laughter sounded somewhat familiar to Nan's mother, as if she had heard the voice somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.
She asked tentatively, "Who are you, and why do you have my phone number?"
The other person clearly found it laughable, as if they had heard a huge joke; he hadn't expected such a response.
“I am your son. Does your mother not even remember her own son’s voice?”
Nan's mother immediately changed to a gentle expression. If Nan Lichuan saw how quickly his mother could change her expression, he would probably be surprised.
"Oh, it's Xiaochuan. Why did you suddenly call your mother and say such things? Xiaochuan is really not cute."
"Mom is just worried about Xiao Xiao, wondering if she'll do anything bad. You don't need to look at Mom like that."
Nan Lichuan sneered and decided not to beat around the bush with his mother anymore, because he felt it was pointless. Since he had already done it, why say such meaningless things?
"Is that so? Then thank you very much, Mother. However, your explanation seems rather weak. I believe you will understand after you meet someone."
Nan Lichuan was sitting in the living room of his mother's favorite 'daughter-in-law''s' house, surrounded by a group of people.
They stared at the man on the phone in front of them, filled with fear and apprehension. He didn't know what they were afraid of. Actually, he was quite gentle; Xiao Xiao had said so.
He picked up a teacup from the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and didn't feel like he was threatening anyone at all. On the contrary, he felt very comfortable and at ease doing so.
They looked down at them as if from a superior position.
"What are you afraid of? Shouldn't I be the one who's afraid? After all, what you've done is even more terrifying than what I've done. Should I be admiring you?"
The boy in the white shirt and black pants had dark eyes that were scanning over the people who had caused him and Xiao Xiao to separate.
What's the use of being so afraid? Once you've done these things, why should you be afraid of others finding out?
Li Qin, of course, was not giving up and got up to take the boy's arm.
Even though the boy is only 18 years old now, his way of doing things and his maturity are no less than those of adults, which is one of the reasons why she likes him.
"Nan, what are you saying? How can you talk to our dad like that? Honestly, maybe you've been too busy lately and are trying to drown your sorrows with alcohol?"
"I told you not to drink so much, but you wouldn't listen to me. Look at him, Dad."
Li Qin's beautiful face paired with her delicate and coquettish manner is irresistible to most men, let alone Nan Lichuan.
However, she seemed to have misunderstood. Nan Lichuan wasn't someone who could be indifferent to everyone; only his little one was different. So, it was clear that Li Qin had misexpressed.
Nan Lichuan's voice turned somber for a moment.
He shook off the woman's hand and glanced coldly at her face as if it were dirty.
"Don't touch me without permission. I don't think we're that familiar yet."
Nan Lichuan's voice was calm and gentle, yet it was terrifyingly calm.
Li Qin stared blankly at her hand that had been flung away, feeling embarrassed but trying to appear calm so as not to look so disheveled.
"Nan, what are you saying? I'm your girlfriend, how could we not know each other? Nan, if you say something like that again, I might get angry."
"Oh, really? It seems you've overestimated yourself, Li Qin, or is what I'm saying really that hard to understand?"
"Then I think you should be able to see this thing clearly now."
Nan Lichuan didn't say anything more. He simply took the documents from his bag and threw them at Li Qin, wanting her to see how ridiculous his actions were.
Fear? Hesitation? When he thought of Xiao Xiao's expression, he wondered what it was like for her, being threatened and intimidated into not daring to speak.
He is the apple of his eye, how could he allow anyone to do anything to hurt him? No one would allow it!
Li Qin didn't need to look to know what the photo was; yes, it was the one she deliberately sent to Nan Lichuan and the Nan family.
Let them see what kind of person their good son is, what he's doing, how could they possibly get rid of her?
"What are these? I can't understand them. Ah, these photos... Nan, do you... do you like boys? Or your younger brother?"
Li Qin pretended to cover her mouth, looking at everything in disbelief with such a realistic and convincing expression. No wonder she's an actress.
"Oh, really? You really didn't know these things?"
"Li Qin, stop pretending. How could I not know what you've done? There's no point in pretending anymore."
You posted the photo of me and Xiao Xiao together, didn't you?
Nan Lichuan raised his eyes and coldly swept his gaze over the woman who was still pretending to be innocent. A woman like that won't shed a tear until she sees the coffin!
"Oh? So you know. I was thinking that maybe we could keep it a secret for a while and take the opportunity to get rid of that bitch Lin Xiao without anyone knowing!"
Seeing that she could no longer hide the truth, Li Qin decided not to continue concealing it and simply revealed her true nature.
"What's so good about that bitch Lin Xiao? Why have you been protecting him like this since we were kids!"
And he's a boy, a disgusting homosexual! Shouldn't someone like that be dealt with?!
Li Qin's constant use of the disgusting term "homosexual" completely enraged Nan Lichuan. He had considered how to handle the situation if others found out about their relationship.
He couldn't bear to say anything to Xiao Xiao, let alone others, so what does Li Qin's opinion matter!
"Oh, really? It's a pity the man you're going to marry is a disgusting homosexual. Aren't you disappointed?"
"Because, it wasn't Xiao Xiao who seduced me, it was me who seduced Xiao Xiao and made him fall in love with me."
This was the first time Li Qin had seen Nan Lichuan so openly admit his feelings, yet her feelings for him received no response whatsoever.
Even if her feelings are unrequited, she won't let Lin Xiao have his way! If she can't have him, she'll destroy him!
"Nan, Wei, why is Lin Xiao so nice to you? He's not even a boy, yet you're still protecting him like this. It won't be right if outsiders find out about your relationship."
The girl's words carried a hint of threat and smugness. Where did she smugness lie?
Most people in this society still don't accept homosexuality. So she figured Nan Lichuan probably didn't have the guts to make that bitch suffer!
"So what? It's my decision. As long as Xiao Xiao is willing to be with me, everything else is negotiable. Li Qin, don't even think about threatening me. This is not something you can do!"
"Also, stop talking nonsense. I'm giving you one last chance: cancel the marriage with my mother, and you might save your life."
