Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Cannot Belong to Another Man

Xiaocong laughed happily, his smile both innocent and bright.

Lin Xinlan knew he had truly let go of his worries, and she felt relieved. As long as she instilled confidence in him, his tender heart wouldn’t become sensitive over a few casually uttered words from others.

To make the child happy, she took him to KFC and also bought him many children’s story tapes.

Xiaocong, who was blind, loved listening to stories most.

Listening to the stories, he would become utterly engrossed, sometimes even forgetting to eat or sleep.

Lin Xinlan would listen with him, explaining anything he didn’t understand, which not only broadened his knowledge but also made him happy.

Now she hardly asked for anything; all she wanted was for her child to be healthy and happy.

Qiao Yiyang gave Lin Xinlan a month to prepare before they got married.

The man did not keep a low profile about it.

Once Lin Xinlan had sorted out all her affairs, he started to pursue her ardently.

On the first day, he went in person to the old Rong Family mansion, making his identity and intentions clear.

The mother of Rong Shaoze knew he was pursuing Lin Xinlan, and her expression soured.

As far as she was concerned, Lin Xinlan should have belonged to her son. Even if they were divorced, she shouldn’t belong to any other man.

Especially since she had borne Rong Shaoze a son, she should belong to her son all the more.

When Qiao Yiyang expressed his feelings for Lin Xinlan, the mother couldn’t help but sneer, "My son has just had an accident, and you’re already pursuing his wife. What exactly are you trying to imply?"

Qiao Yiyang hadn’t experienced a situation he couldn’t handle or a type of person he hadn’t faced.

The mother’s demeanor had no effect on his mood whatsoever.

He smiled graciously, "Madam Rong, I sympathize deeply with Rong Shaoze’s situation, but this is not a reason that can stop me from pursuing Xinlan. Besides, Xinlan has long been divorced from Rong Shaoze. She is now single, and any single man has the right to pursue her. I am no exception."

His words were watertight, leaving her at a loss for a rebuttal as her expression shifted slightly.

Lin Xinlan came downstairs, and she quickly said indifferently, "Xinlan, Mr. Qiao wants to ask you out. Please tell him some other day. Today you’re accompanying me to the mall; it’s been so long since I’ve been."

She said this hoping Lin Xinlan would take the initiative to turn down Qiao Yiyang.

She thought it was just a one-sided pursuit from Qiao Yiyang; as long as Lin Xinlan was disinterested, that would be enough.

She also believed that Lin Xinlan would definitely reject Qiao Yiyang because she could tell Xinlan still had feelings for Rong Shaoze.

Sensing her disapproval and displeasure, Lin Xinlan was slightly startled.

Her gaze fell on Qiao Yiyang, who had a smile playing on his lips, looking open and aboveboard, and she realized he had made his intentions clear to the mother.

She had assumed he would just ask her out as a friend when he came here.

She hadn’t expected him to be so forward that even the mother could sense his intentions.

Seeing the mother’s reaction, Xinlan didn’t know how to respond.

The mother must oppose her dealing with other men at this time, especially since Rong Shaoze’s accident was so recent.

Even though she was divorced from Rong Shaoze, the older generation believed a woman should remain faithful to one man for life, and even if divorced, she should not be with other men.

Otherwise, she would be considered frivolous or too unfeeling.

Since Qiao Yiyang had come to find her in person, she must go out with him; she couldn’t refuse.
