"Why aren't you calling me Lang?" Sarcasm + side-eye.
"...What's gotten into you?"
"Then why do you call him Huaoli?"
"..."
She was accustomed to calling him that in her past life, so it just slipped out.
"Am I the one acting weird here? Have you forgotten how he treated you before? From now on, don't get close to him—no, just don't see him at all!"
Yu Minglang seized the opportunity to make a demand, worried that Huaoli might tell Qian things he shouldn't.
He didn't want her to know the secret of Qian's origins.
Things are good as they are; if she finds out that Qio Yu Xuan swapped his mother-in-law's child to save his daughter, wouldn't Qian go mad?
With the bond she's had with her mother for so many years, she'd be torn—it's better to maintain the status quo.
