"Xiaoxi, Mommy has something to tell you."

"Hmm."

"Actually, Xiaxia is a good kid. She's just got a sharp tongue but a kind heart. If she gives you trouble at home again, just let her have her way. After all, we're family." Song Erqin continued.

Actually, she knew deep down that from the time she knelt and begged Xia Xia not to fight over her husband with her daughter, she realized Xia Xia was an easy girl to manipulate.

Song Yunxi nodded, agreeing.

After they got in the car, on their way to the airport, Song Erqin started talking about Leng Yanchen again: "Xiao Xi, it's from the Leng family. They said that next week they will decide to let both parents meet first."

"Meeting? Meeting what?" Song Yunxi asked in surprise.

Song Erqin smiled and said, "Leng Yanchen's grandmother said that she sent your information to Leng Yanchen's parents. Leng Yanchen's parents are very satisfied with you, they want to meet you in person, and then discuss the engagement with me."

"No, Mom, there's absolutely nothing going on between me and Leng Yanchen. You can't just..."

"Xiao Xi, Mama can see that you like Leng Yan Chen. Your eyes, they don't deceive Mama," Song Erqin interrupted Song Yun Xi with a heavy tone.

Song Yunxi looked embarrassed, completely at a loss for how to explain the situation.

She tousled her long hair and gestured, "Mom, Leng Yanchen took me out to dinner alone, and he's already made his feelings clear. He doesn't like me, you understand?"

"What? He doesn't like you? Who does he like then? You're so great, why wouldn't he like you?" Song Erqin stared in disbelief, even a little annoyed, "What on earth is going on? How could he not like you?"

"Mom, you know, love can't be forced. You should still refuse the Cold family, okay?" Song Yunxi persuaded with a helpless look.

Song Erqin suddenly narrowed her eyes, staring straight at Song Yunxi's eyes, and asked in surprise, "Is it Xia Xia who is stirring up trouble?"

"How did we get to Xiaxia again?" Song Yunshi pouted.

Song Erqin raised an eyebrow, asking with utmost sensitivity, "Is Xiaxia pregnant?"

"Mom..." Song Yunxi smiled awkwardly. "Don't guess randomly, okay?"

"No, no! Something's wrong with both of you these past two days! Xiaxia hasn't been making a fuss when she comes back lately. Something must be off!" After much thought, Song Erqin recalled some details and suddenly panicked, grabbing Song Yunxi's hand. "Isn't Xiaxia pregnant with Leng Yanchen's child?"

"Mom, you're overthinking it." Song Yunxi denied with some nervousness.

Song Erqin's eyes instantly turned red, and she couldn't help but angrily slap Song Yunxi's hand: "You child, why can't you ever catch a man's heart? Your ex-boyfriend back then ended up with your shameless half-sister. Now that you finally found a fiancé, how could he be snatched away by your step-sister again? Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, can't you even fight for me?"

"Mom—please don't do this!" Song Yunxi frowned, her face displeased.

Song Erqin suddenly shouted to the driver, "Driver, pull over!"

The car came to a stop on the roadside.

Song Yunxi asked puzzledly, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"I'm not in the mood to travel with you anymore! I want to go home!" Song Erqin couldn't help but get upset.

Song Yunxi rubbed her temples, a slight headache throbbing. She said to the driver faintly, "Driver, let's head back home."

Our well-planned trip was canceled like that.

Song Yunxi didn't want to have a falling out with her mother, Song Erqin. Since they couldn't agree on anything, she could only find an excuse to leave Qin's villa and made plans with some good friends to go shopping and relax.

After returning home, Song Erqin didn't idle about. She personally contacted a trusted private doctor and got some abortion pills.

In the evening, Song Yunxi did not return for dinner, but Qin Nianxia came back.

Before going to bed, Song Erqin poured a cup of hot milk and went to Qin Niansxia's room. He saw Qin Niansxia was reading a book about some herbs.

"Xiaxia!" Song Erqin knocked on the door and then walked in with a grin.

Qin Nianxia looked up at Song Erqin, perhaps because she had a slightly better impression of her now, so her tone was no longer as cold as before, but rather a little more gentle: "Aunt, what's the matter with you?"

"You have a cup of warm milk before bed every day, Auntie brought it to you. You drink it while it's hot." Song Erqin held the hot milk and slowly walked over, gently placing it on the table next to Qin Nianxia.

Qin Nianxia smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie!"

She finished speaking and continued to bury her head in the book in her hands, marking down the information that was useful to her.

In her studio, she's been researching a purely herbal skincare product lately. She wants to extract it from flowers and herbs.

Song Erqin saw Qin Nianxia didn't drink, and hurriedly urged: "Xia Xia, this milk is not hot, you should drink it while it's warm!"
