Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Men Need to Be Trained

Compared to before, Li Xueqing had indeed improved a lot.

But the suffering she had gone through in the past two months seemed like a segment edited out of a movie, all selectively forgotten by her.

The doctor said this was normal and advised her to gently soothe her mother, waiting until her condition adjusted back to a normal mental state before revealing the truth to her.

Returning to the sickroom, Ye Li put on an act with teary eyes, "Dad just left on a business trip yesterday, does Mom miss him already? You haven’t seen your baby daughter for several days now!"

"Acting spoiled even when you’re all grown up!"

Li Xueqing hugged Ye Li and said softly, "Mom and Dad were childhood sweethearts, went to university together before getting married, from school uniforms to a wedding dress. After so many years, we’ve become like each other’s left and right hand. Ah Li, people can’t live without hands, right? So, Mom can’t be without Dad, and Dad feels the same."

The mention of her husband brought a full expression of tenderness to Li Xueqing’s face.

Suddenly, as if something came to mind, Li Xueqing looked at Ye Li and asked, "Ah Li, are you and He Chen still doing okay?"

Thinking of the doctor’s words that her mother’s condition had finally shown some improvement and absolutely should not be aggravated,

Ye Li changed what she was about to say from ’called off the engagement’ to "We broke up!"

"Broke up?"

Li Xueqing became anxious, "Ah Li, what happened? Did He Chen do something wrong to upset you? Or are you two just playing around?"

"Ah Li, call He Chen. Mom wants to ask him in person!"

Seeing her mother’s face turning pale, her lips no longer as rosy as when she had come in, Ye Li hurriedly grasped her hand, trying to reassure her, "Mom, didn’t you just say that I’m already an adult? I can handle my own affairs, you don’t need to worry!"

Looking at her daughter’s condition, who seemed in good spirits and didn’t appear to be very upset,

Li Xueqing assumed that, despite speaking of a breakup, it was probably just a lovers’ quarrel.

Li Xueqing’s intense emotions began to slowly calm down.

Such things had happened before; a few days later, Zhou Hecchen would buy a gift, apologize, and with some sweet talking, they would make up.

She understood her daughter; Ah Li wasn’t a senseless and troublesome girl.

"Ah Li..."

Li Xueqing patted Ye Li’s hand gently and said, "He Chen is the fiancé your father scrutinized for years before finally deciding to choose for you."

"The Zhou Family and the Ye Family have had decades of friendship, and Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou are easy to speak with. He Chen may be a bit impulsive, but that’s normal for young people. They all have times when they’re rash; after a quarrel, a couple of days talking it out will fix things. You two should really work things out, understand?"

In the Imperial City’s rich families, scandalous news was endless.

There were men from this family having mistresses and even producing illegitimate children.

Or women from that family taking their lovers on vacations, getting photographed and exposed to their spouses.

Some even openly practiced open marriages, where the husband and wife did their own thing as long as the interests of both families weren’t harmed.

Li Xueqing and her husband were considered unique exceptions among the wealthy elite.

Indeed for that reason, after observing and considering for many years, they agreed to the Zhou Family’s marriage proposal, arranging the engagement between Ye Li and Zhou Hecchen.

"No matter if they’re 6 or 60 years old, men always have immature moments. Isn’t it often said, ’Men are boys their whole life’? Your dad also had many problems initially, but Mom straightened him out..."

Li Xueqing smiled, looking at Ye Li with affection, "Ah Li, men need to be trained, if you train He Chen well, he’ll be a good husband in the future, understand?"

She wanted to say she had no interest in training anyone.

If it’s love, then love.

If not, then goodbye—there’s always someone better!

But speaking these words up to her mouth, Ye Li sighed, "Mom, I understand!"
