Chapter 274: You Said You’ll Be My Child’s Father

They went inside in silence. Gu Xingyun was about to take off her hat and scarf for her but Tang Xin quickly rejected him, “Senior, I can do it myself.”

She was so distant, even her smile was so distant. Gu Xingyun’s hand froze midair and he couldn’t help but feel his heart tighten at the thought that she didn’t want him to be part of it because Li Yunshen might be the one who put the hat and scarf on for her when they parted.

Gu Xingyun brought some hot water, “Your hands and feet must be cold from being outside for so long. Make sure you stay warm so you don’t freeze the baby.”

This time, he was scared that she was going to refuse his offer and even found an excuse.

But she still turned him down so straightforwardly.

“Thanks, Senior, I’m not freezing because I didn’t let the cold wind get to me.” Even though she said that, Tang Xin still soaked her hands in the hot water as she didn’t want to disappoint him.

“Are you hungry? I’ll make something, what do you want to eat?” Gu Xingyun stood up and gave her a towel to wipe her hands.

Tang Xin smiled and took it, “Anything’s fine. Or I could make it, you must be tired from three surgeries.”

She had learned how to cook recently and occasionally made a dish or two. Gu Xingyun argued that she was pregnant so it was too dangerous for her to go in the kitchen so he didn’t let her cook often. Other times, he insisted that he must be watching over her when she’s cooking.

“No, it’s okay, you just have to sit down.” Gu Xingyun immediately pinned her back down when she tried to stand up and headed to the kitchen.

He thought that if she came in to help, the atmosphere would become very awkward. He should give it some time.

…

Xia Zhixing slowly woke up and saw that Li Yunshen was sitting by the bed with a frown, looking like he was blaming himself.

“Brother Yun, don’t blame yourself.”

Li Yunshen looked up at the sound and smiled slightly at her worried face, “You are awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Xia Zhixing shook her head and remained silent.

“Little Star, you still don’t want to tell me who that person is?”

Things were getting more and more serious, but she still didn’t want to tell him who the person that made her terrified and want to hide was. She didn’t tell him because she still wanted to protect that man, so he won’t go look for that person himself without her permission.

“Brother Yun, I’m sorry, I just don’t want to have more things to do with him.” Xia Zhixing lowered her head in shame.

Li Yunshen sighed helplessly and stood up, “Alright, rest well.”

As he was turning around, his clothes were tugged and he turned back around. Xia Zhixing was grabbing on his clothes tightly and her face was filled with hesitation.

After a while, she finally spoke, “Brother Yun, you said that you’ll be my child’s father. Does you still mean that?”

Li Yunshen was surprised and the thought of a woman who just parted with him flashed across his mind, another woman who was pregnant as well.

“Little Star, did the man threaten you?” They both knew that they weren’t suitable for marriage or they wouldn’t have dragged it on until now. But now that she asked the question after she woke up, there was only one reason for it.

Xia Zhixing looked panicked and let go, “Brother Yun, this is the best way.”

“If you think so.” Li Yunshen remained silent for a while and replied.

Xia Zhixing looked up in surprise, “Brother Yun, will you blame me for it?”

Li Yunshen smiled lightly and patted her shoulder, “No way, you are the most important.”

“Thank you, Brother Yun.” Xia Zhixing hugged his waist and thanked him sincerely.

Li Yunshen patted her head lightly to comfort him but his thoughts started wandering…
