Baili Le Yao was stunned for a moment. Clearly, she hadn't expected Zhong Niangyao to respond like that. Originally, she had wanted to say more, but looking at Zhong Niangyao's demeanor, she thought better of it and didn't continue speaking.
However, there was still a faint, lingering worry in her heart.
All these years, she had never fulfilled her duties as a mother. So, naturally, she had no right to demand that Zhong Niangyao listen to her now.
Moreover, she had never wanted Zhong Niangyao to break up with Lu Yichen. She just hoped that Zhong Niangyao would be cautious.
Yet, she couldn't help but think of her husband when she saw how Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen were together—her own husband, whose fate remained unknown.
She had learned of her husband's plight two days ago. When she heard that her husband had fallen off a cliff, she almost couldn't breathe.
If it hadn't been for Zhong Niangyao by her side, she might have had some serious health issues.
