Chapter 1011: Chapter 1011: The Car Seems to Be Broken Chapter 1011: Chapter 1011: The Car Seems to Be Broken She had already planned it. As soon as she became a top-tier celebrity, she would publicly disclose her relationship with Li Shengxiao.

That way, the difference between them would at least not be as great as it was now, and his family and friends who cared about him could accept her a little more.

Rong Yan didn’t want to tell him that this afternoon, Su Yi had come to see her with Su Xiansui and even suggested she quit the entertainment industry.

She couldn’t possibly leave the entertainment industry, firstly because music was her dream and secondly, she needed a stable income to give her family Little Baby a sense of security.

She knew her Duidui usually acted mature and sensible, but in reality, having grown up abroad with her, he had endured plenty of hardships and had always felt insecure. Even after acknowledging his ancestors, the little guy still frequently felt uneasy, hence why he always talked about growing up and earning money to support her.

Rong Yan felt both heartache and helplessness. In the end, the way Little Baby turned out was indeed somewhat related to her.

Initially, when she discovered she was pregnant, she chose not to go back to Li Shengxiao, but instead, silently gave birth to the child abroad and intended to raise him by herself. She had deprived the little guy materially, and only now did she want to make it up to him as much as she could within her capabilities.

Li Shengxiao looked at her determined little face, and the slight doubt that had been clogging his chest had long since vanished. He held Rong Yan by the waist, kissed her soft lips, leaned back on the backrest, and murmured in a hoarse tone, “I’ll wait for you, no matter how long it takes, I’ll wait for you to acknowledge me.”

Rong Yan stared at him blankly.

Just then, a glaring flash of lightning struck outside the car. The car that had been moving smoothly suddenly shuddered slightly and then crashed into the barrier ahead with a bang.

The driver, startled, quickly pressed the brakes and turned to ask the two, “Mr. Li, Miss Rong, are you both alright?”

“What happened?” Li Shengxiao was holding Rong Yan, so when the car jerked, he had shielded her in his arms, not a single hair of hers was disturbed, but his arm had hit the door frame because of the impact and was throbbing with pain.

The driver, pale-faced and clearly shaken, stuttered, “The light from the lightning dazzled me, and I lost control of the steering wheel inadvertently and hit the roadside barrier. I’m sorry, Mr. Li, it was my fault.”

Tap tap tap tap… As he spoke, the rain began to fall outside the car window, like beans hitting the glass.

In a blink, the rain poured down heavily, forming a curtain of water outside the car windows, rushing down as if water was being thrown from a bucket.

Li Shengxiao looked out at the rain, furrowed his brows, and commanded, “Let’s go back to the old house.”

Turning to Rong Yan in his arms, he said, “With the rain falling so heavily, Duidui won’t see you returning home and will likely start fretting. We’ll stay there tonight, is that okay?”

“Certainly, that’s fine, but it will trouble Mrs. Lin.”

“She prefers you ‘troubling’ her more than anyone else,” he knew his mother clearly adored this young woman, nearly treating her like her own daughter, and eagerly hoped every day for Rong Yan to ‘trouble’ her.

However, Rong Yan was the type of person who was not adept at interacting with elders, always afraid of troubling others, especially those elders she cared about.

Li Shengxiao took out his phone, saying, “I’ll give her a call to let her know we’re coming back.”

“Okay.”

They had been conversing for a minute or two when Rong Yan noticed the car hadn’t started yet, puzzled, she looked towards the driver’s seat, only to see the driver turning the ignition key with a head full of sweat, then he turned his sweaty face back and said softly, “Mr. Li, it seems the car was damaged from the crash.”
