Leng Yan, if you still care about your uncle and aunt, please leave Xia Nuo; stop entangling her." Leng Yan’s eyes trembled; he lowered his gaze, clenched his fists, and said faintly, "Uncle, if you won’t let me see Xia Nuo, I won’t leave." "You!" Mr. Xia glared in anger, "Haven’t you harmed my daughter enough? Years ago, she left home because of you, gone for over four years. Now that she’s finally back, why won’t you let her go? Leave now; no matter how long you stand here, we won’t agree to you two being together!" Leng Yan’s grip tightened; he pursed his lips in silence, appearing impervious to persuasion. Mr. Xia, seeing his stubbornness, shut the door in anger and ignored him. Leng Yan stood outside for another day; Mrs. Xia, fearing for his life, reluctantly opened Xia Nuo’s door. Xia Nuo had been sitting on the floor; when someone entered, she looked up blankly. Seeing her mother’s face, her tears immediately began to flow. Mrs. Xia sighed; why do these two insist on this self-destructive display? Fresh chapters posted on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁 Could they really be that in love? She squatted in front of Xia Nuo, raised her hand to stroke her head, "Xiao Nuo, it’s not that I’m heartlessly tearing you apart; you and Leng Yan are simply not suitable. Aside from the age difference, given his mother’s disposition, we won’t agree to you being with him. Listen to me and break it off with Leng Yan." Xia Nuo cried silently, biting her lip. Mrs. Xia continued, "Leng Yan has stood outside for a whole day and night; if he stays longer, he’ll die. Xiao Nuo, if you truly wish to be with him, leave this house, let us pretend we never had a daughter. But if you still acknowledge us as your parents, break it off and tell him to leave." Xia Nuo stared blankly, not knowing how to react. She painfully asked, "Mom, why are you forcing me?" Mrs. Xia didn’t answer, only turned to wipe her tears. Xia Nuo felt even worse; her mother was crying, proving they had no choice but to pressure her. "Xiao Nuo, you must decide for yourself how to choose." Mrs. Xia stood and left, leaving her alone to think calmly. An hour later, Xia Nuo finally stood up and slowly walked outside. Mr. and Mrs. Xia were in the room and didn’t come out. Were they afraid to witness her departure, unable to face it? Xia Nuo wiped away her tears, opened the door, and immediately saw Leng Yan standing straight at the entrance. Upon seeing her, Leng Yan’s eyes finally showed some emotion. Her swollen red eyes tore at his heart, causing him pain. It was once again his fault for making her sad. Xia Nuo stepped forward and asked softly, "Why foolishly stand here?" Leng Yan opened his mouth, but ultimately he embraced her tightly, as if he wished he could merge her into his own flesh and never be apart. "Xia Nuo... let’s not part; let’s never part, okay?" he rasped, begging softly. Xia Nuo’s heart contracted tightly; she hugged him back, pressing her face to his, feeling him as cold as ice. "Leng Yan." She continuously rubbed her face against his, trying to give him some warmth, "My parents’ attitude is firm; tell me, what really happened between them and your mother?" Leng Yan’s eyes suddenly shook, as if something inside them shattered.
