Rong Yan didn’t even know how he noticed her nervousness. She adjusted her breathing, let out a sigh of relief, and nodded, “I’m not nervous, I just haven’t seen Mrs. Lin in a long time, I’m a bit… reserved.”
“There’s no need to be reserved; she likes you a lot.” Li Shengxiao could, of course, see that the little woman by his side was feeling reserved. His hand, warm at the palm, gave her strength. “Just like me, I really like you!”
Rong Yan had been somewhat nervous before, after all, it was her first official visit, and being completely un-nervous would have been a lie! But she had met Lin Zhiya before, knew her, and knew what kind of person Lin Zhiya was, so she wasn’t overly nervous.
At this moment, the little bit of nervousness she had felt was also gone. She blinked her beautiful eyes at him and said, “If you don’t let go of me, Little Baby will see!”
Seeing her fair face relax completely and her smile brimming, Li Shengxiao’s heart also settled down entirely.
He had never… never paid attention to these small details before; now that he did, he found it wasn’t so bad!

Rong Yan had already gotten out of the car.
Outside the villa, Lin Zhiya was waiting anxiously, continuously asking the butler beside her, “Help me check, please. Am I dressed okay? Is it too casual?”
“No, Madam,” said the butler, who had never seen her so concerned about anyone. He continued respectfully, “Miss Rong is just coming over for a visit. If you dress too formally, you might put pressure on her.”
“Is that so?” Lin Zhiya furrowed her brows, still not quite reassured as she looked down at her casual home attire. After a while, she couldn’t help but ask again, “But it’s Yan’s first official visit for a meal; if I dress too casually, would she think that I don’t value her?”
This…
The old butler was somewhat helpless, “You are Mr. Li’s mother and his elder. With your status, you really don’t need to worry too much about these things.”
He stated it very tactfully, which really meant that in his opinion, Miss Rong’s status wasn’t one that required her to pay too much attention to.
Lin Zhiya, however, gave him a displeased look and said, “Of course I’m worried! Yan is going to be my future daughter-in-law, and also the mother of my precious grandson; how could I not be concerned?”
The old butler paused, somewhat at a loss.
Did the Madam mean that she had already accepted the identity of the gossip-ridden B-list actress, Young Madam Li?
But the Madam hadn’t formally met her yet; their previous encounters were when the young master hadn’t gone public with his relationship with that little actress…
For the Madam to consent so quickly was too…
In his heart, he felt that, given the young master’s excellence, if he were to choose someone, it should be a lady of equal social standing, someone truly worthy of Mr. Li.
But from what he could tell, the Madam didn’t seem to have high expectations regarding social status; it seemed that as long as the young master liked her, it was okay.
Even so, to be honest, he didn’t have a high opinion of Miss Rong. Putting aside social status, Miss Rong’s reputation was a bit too tainted. Putting aside the young master’s matters for now, there were rumors about her being entangled with a fifty-year-old man when she was just a teenager; regardless of whether the news was true or false, such circumstances were clearly not a match for the young master…
“But…”
Lin Zhiya wasn’t focused on his reaction, her attention shifted back, “Can you help me decide, should I go back and change into another outfit? I always feel this is too casual; should I wear that purple dress I wore last time?”
