Chapter 607: 607

Yi Lin didn’t know what to do now. First, he needed to think about how he could explain things to the Baili Family, and second, he was also considering whether he should save Yi Huai.

In the entire Yi Family, there was absolutely no one more talented than Yi Huai. Without Yi Huai, it would mean that the Yi Family had lost a significant advantage.

On the Baili Family’s side, after Baili Lele woke up, the face of every owner was smiling.

Baili Hengyuan and Baili Zhenhua visited Baili Lele almost every day, caring for her health. As for the three sisters-in-law, they had also visited Baili Lele many times.

It was impossible to say that they had no opinion about their sister-in-law, Baili Lele.

After all, it was because of Baili Lele’s annulled marriage over the years that the status of the Baili Family had continuously declined. Moreover, during the years of Baili Lele’s coma, most of the good resources of the Baili Family had been spent on her. How could they possibly feel good about that?

However, uncomfortable as they felt inside, they were also people who understood the situation and knew very clearly that within this household, the person in charge was Baili Hengyuan. As long as the father-in-law wanted to save Baili Lele, they couldn’t object. Moreover, their husbands also valued this younger sister very much.

So, no matter what, on the surface, their attitude towards their sister-in-law, Baili Lele, was still good. As for what they truly thought inside, that was something only they themselves knew.

Regardless, the atmosphere in the Baili Family was harmonious.

Zhong Niangyao came to check on Baili Lele’s health every day and stayed to chat with her.

Of course, every time she came, Lu Yichen was with her, too. She formally introduced Lu Yi’s identity to Baili Lele.

Although she was happy to talk and chat with her daughter every day, deep down, Baili Lele could still feel her daughter’s alienation, which made her feel particularly frustrated, yet she didn’t know what to do.

Eventually, she gathered the courage to tell Zhong Niangyao that she wanted to have a mother-daughter talk and hoped Lu Yichen would leave for a while. She really wanted to have a good chat with Zhong Niangyao, but with Lu Yichen always there, there were many things she simply couldn’t say.

Upon hearing Baili Lele’s request, Zhong Niangyao was stunned for a moment, completely unexpected.

As for Lu Yichen, who was beside her, he frowned and looked at Zhong Niangyao, waiting for her response.

In the face of Lu Yichen’s inquiring gaze, Zhong Niangyao gently nodded.

Lu Yichen didn’t say anything and turned to leave the room.

After Lu Yichen left, Baili Lele gave Zhong Niangyao a relieved smile, “Nianyao, you’re very lucky to have found someone who sees only you as their other half.”

She could tell that Lu Yichen really liked–no, perhaps loved would be a more fitting term. Lu Yichen truly loved Zhong Niangyao; all his emotions and expressions of happiness and sorrow revolved around her.

“He is indeed very good,” Zhong Niangyao nodded in agreement, “but it’s not luck, it’s my merit. If I wasn’t me, then Lu Yichen wouldn’t look at me.”

It was like when her soul hadn’t fully integrated; the previous Zhong Niangyao would definitely not have caught Lu Yichen’s eye. Likewise, if Lu Yichen was ordinary and unaccomplished, their paths would never have crossed.

She never thought there was anything wrong with her belief–while love may not need reasons, falling in love with someone always had its causes. No one loves someone for no reason at all. Even so-called love at first sight was, to put it plainly, just lust in disguise.

Love at first sight was merely a romanticized term for these impulsive feelings of attraction.

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Baili Lele was taken aback, then shook her head with a smile, “Nianyao, I didn’t expect someone as young as you to see things so clearly! However, no matter the process, Yichen loves you deeply–that’s a fact. I can see you hold a significant place in his life.”

Even sometimes, Baili Lele felt that Lu Yichen valued Zhong Niangyao too seriously. She felt that when he looked at her, it was as if he was looking at the light of his life, as if Zhong Niangyao was his everything.

Thinking this, an expression of concern appeared on her face, and she couldn’t help but reach out to gently touch Zhong Niangyao’s hair, saying, “But Yichen takes you too seriously, which I fear is taxing for both of you.”

“Really? I think it’s quite nice,” Zhong Niangyao shrugged and laughed, “He values me highly and sees me as the only one in his life. I think such intense love is wonderful.”

“Nianyao, you’re still young.”

Baili Lele thought Zhong Niangyao was a bit naive. Taking Zhong Niangyao’s hand, she spoke earnestly, “There’s a lot you still don’t understand. The heavier your importance in his life, the more focused he will be on you. If you can’t give him a comparable response, then your relationship could easily become unbalanced, and I’m afraid that could lead to mutually destructive consequences.”

“Of course, I’m not saying you should break up with him, just that as someone who has been there, I want to give you a heads up. It’s something you should be aware of.”

Although she found Lu Yichen’s love to be intense, she could see that he was truly good to Zhong Niangyao. Besides, the young couple was usually very sweet and lovey-dovey–naturally, she wouldn’t want to break them up.

However, as a mother, she still had to give her daughter a reminder.

“How do you know that I am not the same as him?” Zhong Niangyao asked with a smile, “You can see that his love for me is passionate. Can’t you see that I actually feel the same? In fact, I think we’re quite a good match.”

Even though her love might not appear as overtly passionate as Lu Yichen’s, deep down, she really loved Lu Yi. The difference was that in her life, love wasn’t the only thing, but that didn’t hinder her deep love for Lu Yi.

She believed that Lu Yichen was clearly aware of this in his heart. So, although she usually didn’t mention it, Lu Yichen never questioned it.
