The Mafia’s Crybaby Wife - Chapter 54

He threw Lu An’an off balance.

Before both Li Lihua and Lu An’an could grasp what was going on, Yan Yunge jumped in. “Mother, I’m Yan Yunge, and I’m happily married to An’an.” His tone was firm yet unprovoking.

Li Lihua snapped back from wherever her mind went. So this was the man whom An’an got married to for money, she thought. Just minutes ago, she had no idea who he was, and the only thing she observed was his charisma and posh speech and manner. Knowing that Lu An’an had gone through so much for him, she found him irritating to the eye.

“Don’t call me that. I’ve not approved of your marriage,” Li Lihua scorned.

Lu An’an went cold. The second Yan Yunge made a self-introduction, Lu An’an knew things were going down the wrong path. Both Li Lihua and he got off on the wrong foot. And the way Li Lihua denied him, would it tick him off?

She turned and peeped at Yan Yunge from the corner of her eye, yet she couldn’t read anything from his facial expression.

“Approve or not- we already have our marriage certificate. I’ll love and take good care of An’an. Please rest assured,” Yan Yunge said earnestly, “If you find that we’re not the one for each other sometime in the future, it wouldn’t be too late to take her back.”

As he spoke, he vowed in his heart that he would become the husband Lu An’an deserved, not sparing the slightest chance for Li Lihua to take her away from him.

Though Li Lihua had been hypercritical verbally, her impression of him did a 180 the instant he promised to vouch for his actions. Maybe he wasn’t too bad after all. She had lived long enough to make correct judgments on whether he was bluffing or not. Other than not being able to walk, everything about him was great. Still, them getting married secretly behind her back didn’t earn him her trust.

So she stopped nit-picking, her attitude ambiguous.

Yan Yunge could tell from Li Lihua’s expression that she had listened and understood his point of view, and it shifted his mood.

He did it.

Lu An’an sensed the rising tension between them, and she couldn’t help but grow anxious. She was still reading the slightest change in Yan Yunge’s emotions, afraid that he would hold something against Li Lihua. But the two had been silent since. She nudged Yan Yunge, indicating that he should leave.

Yan Yunge had wanted to stay for a little longer when someone knocked at the door.

Curious, Li Lihua let them in. She usually wouldn’t have many visitors, and it was an untypical day for her, making her awkward.

“Mr. Yan, your son, Yan Yinlan, is awake. He wants to see you,” said the nurse.

The three were left stunned. Worried about Yan Yinlan, Yan Yunge excused himself.

Despite still wearing a polite smile on her face, the explosive anger within Li Lihua blew up. She was already unsatisfied with their conditioned marriage, and now Yan Yunge had a son?

“Lu An’an. You need to leave this man as soon as you can. I oppose your marriage with all my might,” Li Lihua said in disdain.

“Mom. It’s not what you think it is. There’s no ex-wife…” Lu An’an tried to explain, but she didn’t know if it was appropriate to speak about Yan Yinlan’s background. She was stuck.

“So, tell me, then. Where did the kid come from?” The anger on Li Lihua’s face was still visible.

Lu An’an knew nothing would make things clear, and she came forward to pat Li Lihua’s back, trying to calm her down.
