My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Admitting a Relationship with Li Shengxiao

She admitted openly and even nodded while under his gaze, maintaining her composure in a manner that made the elderly man look upon her with slightly more favor. However, this small detail would not change his mind that Rong Yan was not the right person for him.

He pressed down on his cup of tea, and continued in a voice filled with an oppressive tone, “You and Shengxiao became involved due to an accident five years ago. After that, you discovered you were pregnant and were betrayed by your sister, who let journalists take pictures of you visiting the hospital. Your reputation collapsed overnight, and you chose to accept your family’s arrangement to go abroad. However, you didn’t follow their wishes to terminate the pregnancy. In the subsequent five years, you worked and studied overseas to support the child, even switching your major to medicine for the child’s sake.”

“Unfortunately, you couldn’t find a way to cure the child’s genetic disease. Watching the disease flare up in your child time and time again, you chose to return to your country. Although you knew the child was Shengxiao’s, you did not seek him out to take responsibility. Instead, you quietly sent the child back, and by that point, I believe you had no desire to get involved with Shengxiao again,” he stated.

He paused, his demeanor steady, as his slightly tea-grey eyes looked towards Rong Yan. “Is that so, Miss Rong?”

Rong Yan was surprised at how thoroughly he had investigated her, as if he had personally witnessed everything he spoke of, without a single inaccuracy!

Rong Yan nodded openly again, “That’s right.”

The elderly man picked up the tea cup beside him, took a sip, and set it back down.

“However, you were in a car accident later and just happened to be hit by Shengxiao, who brought you to the hospital, pulling you two back into contact. I believe at that time you wanted to use your relationship with Shengxiao to see the child more, so you did not cut ties with him. The subsequent developments spiraled out of control. Shengxiao’s feelings for you changed, and he sought you out, ultimately entering into a secret marriage with you on the condition of the child, didn’t he?”

He asked, “Is that so?” three times in a row, each time with an overwhelming sense of pressure, like a judge interrogating a criminal. A less experienced girl might’ve already been suffocated by the powerful aura emanating from him. Although Rong Yan could feel that intense oppressive force, she wasn’t so scared as to go blank in her mind. Calmly, she continued to nod, “That’s right.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The two guards at the shooting range and the servant delivering tea and water couldn’t help but sneak glances at her, curious how someone so young could remain so composed.

The old man with the graying hair narrowed his eyes, seemingly pondering her intent.

“You are getting along well with Shengxiao now. So, Miss Rong, have you changed your initial decision?”

The question was extremely sharp.

It was blatantly asking Rong Yan whether she had not planned to be with Li Shengxiao initially and what her intentions were now.

Rong Yan had waited long for this moment, and finally, the conversation had come to its focal point. Meeting the old man’s sharp gaze, she said with composure, “I am currently dating Li Shengxiao, and I like him.”

Liking means liking; she had hesitated before, but once she was certain, she dared to face her feelings openly.

Even when confronting the elderly man before her, she remained unfazed.

The hard lines of the old man’s face grew stern, his tea-grey eyes cooling, “Dating? Forgive my bluntness, Miss Rong, but you are not the type I approve of.”

“I know,” Rong Yan’s clear eyes twinkled, and she smiled slightly, “Should I feel fortunate I didn’t encounter General Lin when he was young?”
