Li Buyan fell silent after Li Xingle placed her in the back seat of the car.
She kept touching her flat belly with her left hand, unable to feel the baby inside.
How miraculous, heaven had given her another chance to be a mother.
But she couldn’t be a good mother!
The atmosphere in the car was oppressive. Li Xingle held her silently; this wasn’t the place to talk.
They needed a good talk; he hadn’t expected a child to suddenly arrive.
This baby must be an angel!
Knowing that Dad couldn’t keep Mom, it ca to them to be a bond between them.
Neither could leave; the baby needed the love of both parents, a family.
But the current issue was whether she would give birth to the baby.
His phone beeped with a ssage from Tang Suiyu.
[Li Zi had an abortion three years ago. The doctor said her uterine wall is thin. If she doesn’t carry this baby to term, she might have trouble getting pregnant in the future. The previous child was also yours. Do you know why she didn’t keep it then? I hope you don’t hurt her. If you love her, consider her perspective. I don’t want to see her crying every day.]
So she had an abortion before!
That was his child too!
He really wanted to question her why she didn’t keep it, but then he thought, Little Li must have been terrified then.
Both the previous child and this one might have congenital health issues due to close blood relations. Besides, at that ti, Little Li hated him.
Apparently, she still hates him now.
When they arrived, he carefully took her hand. She didn’t resist and let him lead her.
Once inside, Li Buyan stopped moving.
"Can you spare the Li Group?" Her voice was soft, as if afraid to disturb the baby inside her.
"We can discuss that later. First, we should talk about us."
"If you don’t spare the Li Group, I won’t talk." She had her own principles and things she wanted to protect.
The Li Family was what he hated most, but it was her dearest family.
Everyone in the family treated her well. She couldn’t bear to see them suffer.
"In your heart, are they more important than ?" Li Xingle couldn’t help but raise his voice.
Seeing her pursed lips and heaving chest, he realized he might have scared her. "Little Li, can we sit and talk?"
Li Buyan bypassed his outstretched hand, walked to the sofa, and sat hugging a pillow.
If she could, she would love to curl up in a corner by herself, not letting anyone sit next to her and fill her nostrils with his scent.
"I’ll marry you. We’ll move sowhere else. The world is big; you can go wherever you want. If you want this baby, we’ll have it. If you don’t, we won’t. I just want to be with you!" He really wanted to throw away the pillow she was hugging.
Why let an inanimate object occupy the space in her arms that belonged to him?
He wanted to be held too!
Strong arms encircled her slender waist, "I know what the doctor said. I’m so sorry for your suffering. Three years ago, if you had told , I..."
He wasn’t sure if three years ago he would have made the sa choice. Back then, he felt he had to take revenge on the Li Family!
But now, after more than three years without seeing her, over a thousand days and nights without her presence, he just wanted to be with her, anywhere.
She still didn’t speak, her heart sinking deeper and tightening, pierced by arrows, waves of pain almost making it hard to breathe.
"Little Li, will you marry ?"
