Chapter 1138 - Bitter Heart (2/2)

It was hard to hold down the tears in her eyes as Xia Yanran walked out of Tang Chao’s room with large strides.

Xiao Yi had left Yi Ran’s room and went back to Tang Chao’s room, but didn’t see Xia Yanran. After conversing slightly with Tang Chao, Xiao Yi went out to look for Xia Yanran.

Xiao Yi found Xia Yanran in the garden downstairs. She was sitting on a bench as she stared out in a distance blankly. Xiao Yi walked over and hugged her. “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”

With a shake of her head, Xia Yanran grabbed onto Xiao Yi’s well-defined hands. “I heard from Tang Chao that you’ve even thought of the names of our future children!”

“Why is he so nosy?!”

Did that mean Tang Chao was telling the truth?

“I said it once when I was drunk. The names of our future children must be made by us.” He pulled her into his arms.

Listening to his strong heartbeat, Xia Yanran only felt her body turning cold, like she had fallen into a deep abyss and could no longer see the light.

“Xiao Yi, I’m going back tomorrow.”

Xiao Yi pressed a kiss at the top of her head. “Since you agreed to my proposal, you’ll be mine in the future. I’ll find a good time to go to Ning City and ask your brother for your hand in marriage.”

Xia Yanran smiled, her long lashes covering the sadness flas.h.i.+ng in her eyes.

Xiao Yi, will we really have a future?

…

Tang Chao didn’t like the smell of hospitals, so he took Xiao Yi’s car back to their apartment.

“Brother Xiao, I’ll find an apartment to move to as soon as possible.”

Xiao Yi glanced at Tang Chao through the rear mirror. “It’s alright, you can stay there if you like it there. I’ll buy another house for Yanran and I.”

“Brother Xiao, you’re too nice! Good people will definitely be rewarded. You’ll definitely have many children and grandchildren when you’re old.”

Xiao Yi smirked. “Who wouldn’t have many children and grandchildren when they’re old?”

Listening to the men’s conversation, Xia Yanran felt her breathing tighten as her mind fell into a mess.

She couldn’t be so selfish anymore. He wanted children so badly, must she make him marry her because of their ten years of history and be a couple without children?

How could she bear to do that to him?

Tang Chao glanced at Xia Yanran’s expression silently, his lips curling up.

…

Because Tang Chao was injured, he couldn’t handle the company’s issues for the time being. He needed to go to a dinner meeting with an important client originally, but now, Xiao Yi had no choice but to go.

After Xiao Yi sent Xia Yanran and Tang Chao back to the apartment, he told Xia Yanran to rest earlier before he left.

Xia Yanran went to take a shower, lying in bed as she turned back and forth.

Xiao Yi only returned at two in the morning. As he had drank, he went to take a shower before he lay down and slept without drying his hair.

Xia Yanran sat up and took the hairdryer, drying his hair for him. She sat by the bed, staring at his sleeping expression as she felt the urge to cry.

Taking out a pen and paper from her bag, she kneeled by the bedside table as she wrote everything down, from her secret to the words she had been wanting to tell him.

She could not be like before and make a decision without telling him anything.

Even if he couldn’t accept not having children and didn’t want to be with her anymore, she still wanted to let him know so that there wouldn’t be any regrets left if they broke up!
