Lifting the quilt, he directly carried her to the bed. Zhao Lanlan instinctively struggled a bit, and he pulled the quilt over and wrapped her entire body.
“Don’t make a scene, you’re in a special situation. Even if you want to make a scene, wait until the baby stabilizes a little.”
With one arm, he bound her together with the covers and let her rest against his chest.
She could hear his heartbeat, steady and strong. Like a drum, beating against her heart. Last night, they were cuddling like this, but it was different than now.
Last night’s heart was in turmoil, and it was never at peace for a moment.
However, at this moment, there was an inexplicable sense of reassurance. This reassurance scared her a little. Before this, she had never imagined that there would be another day when they could embrace each other so peacefully.
Leaving her, somewhat, unable to adapt …
“You … take your hand out.” She moved slightly to get out from between his arms.
He exerted himself and pulled her back again. “Stay like that and don’t move.”
“…” she was silent, quietly moving her head to the pillow.
“When did you find out?” Xia Feiqing suddenly asked.
She closed her eyes and answered softly and quietly, “Before the divorce.”
Before the divorce?
“You’re so tolerant. Why didn’t you tell me the truth? I wouldn’t have gotten a divorce knowing that.”
“… I want to leave.” Her voice was softer.
Xia Feiqing’s heart ached, embracing her tightly, “Is it that I didn’t follow you to the hospital today, and you plan to keep hiding it from me?”
She still did not look at him, just put her face to the other side, sullenly did not say anything. Xia Feiqing knew what she was thinking, although she was usually soft and soft, however, there were some things in her bones that she could not forget after all.
He forcefully turned her face so that her eyes met his.
“Look at me and let’s talk!”
Her eyes flickered, and then, looking fixedly at him, she had spoken first, without waiting for him to say what he was going to talk about, “I’m not going to marry you. My father and my mother are still in prison, and if I were to marry you again, I don’t think that there is any way that I could forgive myself.”
Xia Feiqing’s eyes sank, and even his breathing became much heavier.
“So … you want future children to live in broken homes?”
“…” She didn’t want to. “I will try to give the child a complete home.”
There was a pause before she slowly said, “Zhensheng has proposed to me, he doesn’t mind me having a child and is willing to raise it as his own.”
Xia Feiqing only felt his eyebrows jutting out, “Unless I die!”
His eyes were so deep and heavy, like they were trying to pierce her. “Even if you have to marry, you can only marry me!”
Marry him?
“The first time we got married, we did it for revenge; the second time, we did it just for the kids, do you think that makes sense? The first time was when we were young; the second time again, it’s when we’re stupid.”
“Who told you it was just for the baby?” The pupils of his eyes were deep, and the two of them were so close, so close, that each other’s breath spewed onto the other’s face.
She suddenly couldn’t speak, the eyes in front of her were like a deep vortex that swept her soul right in. A fine string in her heart, taut, could break at any time.
“I want to marry you.” Big palm, slowly down, holding her hand. Her fine fingertips hidden some trembling, seemingly because of nervousness, each finger is taut, like a stone. He wrapped tightly at once, his face came closer to her, a tide of love erupted in his chest, “You won’t not know the reason.”
Eyelashes, flapped twice, like butterfly wings. Eyes, flowing light, unusually moving. But she just buzzed a thin voice: “I … don t know.”
She didn’t dare think about it.
I really wouldn’t dare!
“I thought I’d made it clear – Lanlan, I want you! I won’t give you up to any man! Because I’ve been regretting it since the day I got divorced!”
Her breath caught, her pink lips opened and closed, wanting to say something, but she couldn’t for a moment.
“Haven’t you heard it yet?” Xia Feiqing suddenly moved over and took her lips. She was stunned and her body froze. He, however, did not kiss deeply, but only lingeringly gently rubbed on her lips, “Lanlan, I think … I really can’t let go of you, I’m in love with you!”
She was dumbfounded there, only feeling a ‘buzz’ in her head. Before her thoughts could clear, her eyes were already damp.
Love?
Can he love anyone else but Si Ling?
“Xia Feiqing …” her thoughts are completely chaotic, even, don’t know where to explore the truth of his words, can only call out his name in a low voice. Want to say something, also do not know where to start.
“Don’t say you have no feelings for me at all.” Xia Feiqing lightly hooked her lower jaw, “You can’t fool yourself, everything last night is the best proof.”
She had nothing to say.
Some feelings, sunk in the heart, she in fact already understood, but did not want to admit it. Now, by him just like this to pick through, only to feel not as embarrassing as he thought.
But …
Is he really in love with himself?
Or, is it just a deliberate lie woven to get the child?
She wasn’t sure. After all, having been hurt …
“I know it’s hard to get you to accept me and trust me right now. But for the sake of the baby, don’t say anything more to me about marrying another man for a while.” His gaze sank. After a pause, he added, “After the child is born and your body recovers, if, you still want to marry someone else … I promise!”
The last three words were said with great emphasis and with much determination.
Her chest shook slightly as she asked softly, “What about the baby?”
“When the time comes for you to take … I promise.”
He was so generous, she actually inexplicably felt some heartache. Her eyelashes fluttered lightly and she didn’t make another sound.
“I’ll convince the elders of the family when the time comes.”
She remained silent.
He was really generous, and she should feel happy, but then, her heart unexpectedly felt bad.
The cell phone, suddenly rang. She got up to get it and was held down by him. He turned sideways and took her cell phone out of the bag, and when he saw the name flashing on the screen, his face changed slightly. Without looking, Zhao Lanlan was already clear on who the caller was.
She reached over and took it, catching it against her ear.
Xia Feiqing didn’t listen, directly got up and went out of the room. Looking at that back, Zhao Lanlan lightly bit her lip, and her heart was unexpectedly a little messy for no reason. There was even an urge to explain.
But what is the explanation?
“Lanlan, are you okay? I heard LuLu say that you went to the hospital today?” Yu Zhensheng’s voice came from over there, vaguely worried.
“Going for a simple checkup is just a simple checkup, no big problem.” Zhao Lanlan thought for a moment, “I’m sorry, Zhensheng … what you said to me last time, I may not be able to promise you.”
