Chapter 371 - Truly Pregnant (2/2)
Perhaps that man today had provoked him. That man was Chu Lui. He recognized him from the business magazines he was always featured in.
”Okay.” Xia Ruoxin continued to cut the vegetables, but her words made Gao Yi stunned.
”What did you say, Ruoxin?” Gao Yi let go of her waist suddenly and asked her nervously. He heard right, right? She said okay?
”The fish is done.” Xia Ruoxin turned around to look at him and then pointed at the pot to their side. ”If you don't let me go, you won't have a fish today.” She said and hurried over to set the fish out on a plate.
Gao Yi rubbed his forehead, the feeling of surprise and fear making him uncomfortable.
Suddenly, he smelled a very fragrant smell. He looked down to see a soup spoon held in front of him. ”Here, have some first.” Xia Ruoxin gave him some special attention. There were still some more dishes to make.
Gao Yi took the spoon and drank from it quickly. It was extremely delicious, but he still felt a little vexed. She had just scared the hell out of him. When he thought that she was going to stay silent, he heard her voice, despite her back facing him.
”Gao Yi, give me a little more time. When I'm certain that I won't regret and that you won't regret either, I will promise you.” Then, she turned around and took back the spoon from him. Her eyes glinted with a slight complexity. She actually meant what she said when she agreed just now. She really wanted to agree, but she still needed time.
She needed to know whether Gao Yi would regret, for she had married and divorced once and was bringing her daughter up. She might not even be able to have a baby in the future. Was this really fair for Gao Yi?
She actually felt inferior and unworthy of him.
”Ruoxin, stop thinking so much. Follow your heart. You don't know where my happiness lies. So, don't make my decision for me.” Gao Yi could tell what she was thinking and stopped her before her imagination ran wild. If not, she would obsess over it; and it would be hard to persuade her otherwise. He took the plate of fish from her hands so she could rest her hands more.
”Okay, continue. I'm still starving. I'm gonna die if you continue thinking like this.”
Xia Ruoxin lowered her head, a sheen of tears gleaming in her eyes. It seemed she really was thinking too much. She smiled softly. Alright. She'd just let everything go with the flow. Right now, they were no different from a normal married couple.
…
Li Manni entered the hospital with a pregnancy report in her hands. The result was out. She was really pregnant. Her feelings were conflicted—she was happy but uneasy.
This child's arrival was timely, but at the same time, not. He could be Chu Lui's, but he could very be that man's.
She placed a hand on her belly and pressed her lips together tightly. Whether or not this child really belonged to Chu Lui, she would just claim that it was his and that it had the blood of the Chu family and was the heir to the Chu enterprise. It would ensure that she could keep everything now: her marriage, her husband, and her status.
