“Nonsense, I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m sleepy.” An Can blushed, not understanding why she was thinking about him like this. After all this time, it was only after hearing Cold Xiang’s words that she made such a strange move. Was it because she knew such an excellent woman had her eye on the man she loved? “No, it can’t be like that.” An Can inwardly panicked, blaming Junhao for making her lose herself.
“I’ll be back in two days. You be good and wait for me.” Junhao smiled lightly after hearing the busy tone, reluctant to hang up. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to call him since they’d known each other.
Is not speaking because there’s no reason or because you’re thinking of a better reason?” Lin Xianghua was not in a hurry; she also admired this woman, but for the sake of the Jun family, she had to do this. Even if they were to hate her, she absolutely could not let the Jun family be cut off.
“What can I say to someone who killed their own grandson with their own hands?” An Ke was ultimately not someone who could swallow her anger, pointing directly at Lin Xianghua.
“You think just any woman’s pregnancy could make her my grandson? You think too highly of yourself.” Lin Xianghua picked up her tea and took a light sip, her elegant movement contrasting with her venomous words: “Please leave now, you are not welcome here.”
“I won’t leave. I will definitely wait for Jun Hao to return.” Thinking about Jun Hao’s almost romantic words on the phone last night, An Ke calmed down somewhat. He told her to wait obediently for his return, and she would definitely wait for him, even if she had to leave, she would tell him that she had fallen in love with him.
“You’re waiting for him to return? You think just because he returns, you won’t have to leave?” Lin Xianghua clearly did not expect An Ke to be so stubborn, and continued: “Even if you wait for him to return, it will only be in vain. Does he love you?”
“Does he love you?” This sentence struck An Ke’s weak spot. Did he love her? In her memory, he had only said it to her once, and that was when she asked, and he had answered hesitantly. If this was just his prank, and she was so persistent, how would she face the truth when it was revealed?
Lin Xianghua seemed to have seen her hesitation and continued: “Actually, it’s not difficult to know. You can make a phone call now to ask clearly, and save the awkwardness of meeting.” She finished speaking and handed her mobile phone to An Ke.
An Ke took the phone hesitantly and dialed the number. The voice on the other end: “Sorry, the user you are calling is currently switched off, please try again later.” An Ke’s hand trembled as she slowly pressed another digit, looking at the number again and again, confirming it was correct. Dialing again, she heard only a busy tone.
Lin Xianghua smiled faintly, as if she had long known this would be the result.
An Ke lowered her hands in disappointment. She did not know that Jun Hao had canceled all his business after receiving her call and had boarded an early morning flight, rushing to see her as soon as possible.

Lin Xianghua crossed her legs: “I’ve already sent someone to notify Pei Xuanyan to pick you up. That boy cares quite a bit about you; you should grasp the opportunity. He should be here by now.” She was certain An Ke would leave and spoke without courtesy.
An Ke raised her head, her tone resolute: “I said I would wait for Jun Hao to return. I won’t leave until he returns.” Even if Jun Hao did not love her, she would still tell him that she had fallen in love with him. As long as she tried her best, even if there was no result, she would not regret it in the future.
With a bang, Lin Xianghua threw the teacup on the table, stood up, and pointed her index finger at An Ke: “Don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. What right do you have to wait for him here? Just because you’ve slept with him a few times? I’ve never seen a woman as shameless as you.”
An Ke glared back at her: “Enough. I’ll leave as soon as he returns.”
Lin Xianghua scolded: “You’re waiting for him to return to get more money. No matter how much you ask, I’ll give it to you.”
“You think you can dismiss me with money? I’m telling you, I want your son. I will make him marry me. I will become the true mistress of the Jun family. I want to see the Jun family cut off…” An Ke knew Lin Xianghua only wanted to humiliate her, so she could not keep tolerating it.
“Foolish woman, shut up!” When the perfect, god-like man appeared at the door, both women were stunned.
Lin Xianghua was surprised: “Hao’er, how did you return so quickly?” Her expression was even worse than before.
Jun Hao was still smiling, neither looking at Lin Xianghua nor responding to her. He walked directly to An Ke’s side, with a tone both indulgent and reproachful: “Darling, how can you speak to your elders like this?” He hugged her tightly, whispering: “Just trust me, I’ll handle everything else.” Ignoring everyone else, he gently kissed her forehead: “I’ll take you back to your room.”
An Ke broke free from his embrace, looking up at him and saying clearly word by word: “Jun Hao, I love you!” At the moment she saw Jun Hao arrive, all her grievances wanted to pour out to him, but Lin Xianghua was still his biological mother. What would he do?
Jun Hao laughed softly, embracing her again: “Wait until you’ve calmed down and your mood is settled before saying this to me.” Perhaps he did not believe that her words came entirely from her heart.
“Jun Hao, I’m saying this very seriously.” She stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly, burying her head in his chest. She just wanted to feel him by her side at this moment, not thinking about the future.
“I’ve remembered it in my heart.” He also wanted to tell her that he loved her, but he believed she understood his intentions, understood why he had returned two days early.
“I should go.” She tilted her head back, wanting to deeply engrave his image in her mind.
“Okay, let’s go now.” He held her hand, as if he had long made his decision.
She nodded with tears, not refusing him. At this moment, she was very happy. He had not said he loved her, but he was willing to hold her hand and leave together.
“Hao’er, you’ve gone mad.” Lin Xianghua had long forgotten her image of a virtuous mother.
“Darling, wait for me outside. I’ll be right there.” Jun Hao caressed An Ke’s cheek.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.” An Ke let go of his hand and walked out.
“Mom, you were the mother I respected most before, and you will continue to be. I love you more than I love myself. My life was given by you, and if you want to take it back, I have no objection.” Jun Hao stared at Lin Xianghua, his eyes still filled with a son’s love for his mother.
You know what you’re doing now? Is everything you’ve done for such a woman worth it?” Lin Xianghua shouted loudly, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. Her most beloved son was actually going to turn against her for a woman. She never intended to destroy their relationship; she was willing to let An Ke become the daughter-in-law of the Jun family, but on the condition that Jun Hao would let other women continue the family line. However, Jun Hao resolutely refused. He could marry any woman, but the only woman who could bear his children was An Ke. For the sake of the Jun family, she had to play the role of a heartless mother, rejecting ordinary women from entering the Jun family’s door. Who would understand her good intentions?
“Of course, it’s not worth it for a woman, but everything is worth it for the woman I deeply love.” Jun Hao turned around, not wanting to argue further, and walked towards the door.
