Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1053: Chapter 1039: Fury

Old Lady Li introduced Kang Li and Luo Yanqing to Xiao Shen and then introduced Xiao Shen to the two: ”This is Xiao Shen, my student.”

Luo Yanqing (Kang Li): ”Hello.”

Xiao Shen: ”Hello to both of you.”

At the instant Xiao Shen appeared, Xiao Loh En buried his head in Kang Li’s chest, showing Xiao Shen only the back of his head and his little butt.

After greeting Kang Li and others, Xiao Shen directed his gaze to Old Lady Li and Elder Loh: ”Teacher, Master, I... I want to ask you a question...”

Before speaking, his gaze towards Xiao Loh En was full of indescribable emotions, which were completely captured by the others in the living room.

”Uncle Loh, Auntie, Luo Yanqing and I will take Xiao En for a little walk downstairs.”

Kang Li smiled gently as she spoke, and saw Luo Yanqing had already stood up, holding Xiao Loh En in his arms.

Elder Loh: ”Alright, you all go ahead.”

Old Lady Li nodded.

”Sit down.”

The door opened and closed. Once Luo Yanqing, carrying Xiao Loh En and Kang Li, disappeared outside, Elder Loh invited Xiao Shen to sit on the sofa. Yet, after a while, Xiao Shen still hesitated to speak.

Looking puzzled, Old Lady Li asked, ”Child, if you have something to ask, feel free to ask. Why are you hesitating?”

After a moment of pursed lips, Xiao Shen spoke with slight difficulty, ”Xuexue was never actually married, right?”

”...”

The atmosphere in the living room instantly stagnated, and after a long while, Elder Loh asked, ”What do you mean by that?”

Xiao Shen didn’t respond and continued, ”Is Xiao En’s father unknown?”

With a ”bang” sound, Elder Loh slapped the coffee table: ”What do you mean by that? Xuexue has been gone for years, and now you’re trying to defame her?”

Old Lady Li’s eyes were filled with disappointment and disbelief: ”Little Xiao, don’t blame your master for being angry with you. You just stepped in and asked these two questions in a row. We truly don’t know what you’re thinking.”

With a thud, Xiao Shen kneeled before Elder Loh and Old Lady Li, his eyes full of regret: ”Teacher, Master, I... I suspect Xiao En is my child!”

”Impossible!”

Old Lady Li was instantly shocked and couldn’t control her emotions; she stared at Xiao Shen: ”Xuexue was much younger than you, and neither I nor your master ever saw her associate with you. And you were my student; I know the conduct of both you and my granddaughter better than anyone. How could you have done such a thing?”

Although Xiao Shen hadn’t yet confirmed whether Xiao Loh En’s ancestry involved him, based on Elder Loh’s and Old Lady Li’s reactions, he believed it was quite likely. His voice was somewhat hoarse as he revealed the accident between him and Loh Xue, finally saying:

”Teacher, Master, I’ve voiced my wish to take responsibility for Xuexue more than once, but Xuexue refused and demanded that I not tell you... I don’t know what came over me—I was bewitched and agreed...”

Old Lady Li pointed towards the door: ”Leave now and disappear from my sight, I don’t want to see you!”

Kneeling without moving, Xiao Shen pleaded: ”Teacher, I realize my mistake...”

Old Lady Li turned away, refusing to look at him, while Elder Loh spoke: ”Xuexue disagreed, wouldn’t let you tell us, so you didn’t tell us? Bewitched? Are you sure you were bewitched, not just unable to let go of your deceased wife?”

”I admit... I admit that was part of the reason, but I genuinely wanted to take responsibility for Xuexue, and I never imagined things would happen between us. You know, I’ve always treated Xuexue like a little sister...”
