23 Si Zhanhan, I Will Give Birth to the Baby
“Okay.”
“The weather outside is cold, wear more clothes so you don’t catch a cold.” The man’s deep voice sounded again.
“I know.”
Ling Qing Ruan climbed down from the bed, wearing a pink bunny pajama set with a hood, rubbing her sleepy eyes groggily.
“Xiaomin, he’s here to take me home. I need to go back now.”
“Go ahead, take good care of yourself during pregnancy. I’ll visit you when I have time.”
After changing into simple clothes and carrying her bag, Wu Xiaomin worried about Ling Qing Ruan going out alone and accompanied her.
The two strolled along the university campus pathway. It was autumn, with fallen leaves everywhere. A cool autumn breeze brought a slight chill.
“Hey little one, this is for you. I ate one of your candies yesterday.”
Hearing the voice, Ling Qing Ruan turned around to see Si Yuan. He was very tall, about 1.86 meters, just slightly shorter than Si Zhanhan.
He wore a black jacket, his hair covering his forehead. His eyes were cool and distant with slightly upturned corners that carried a hint of mischief.
“Si Yuan, thank you for the candy, but it’s not necessary.”
“Since I’m giving it to you, just take it.”
A jar of candy was forcibly stuffed into Ling Qing Ruan’s arms, then her cheek was pinched before the perpetrator disappeared…
When Ling Qing Ruan reacted, she stamped her feet angrily. “Si Yuan! Bully! Bully!”
Even from far away, Si Yuan could hear the little one’s adorable angry voice. She was still cute even when mad, but her cheek was really soft and felt nice to touch.
Looking at his fingers, Si Yuan curled his lips into a smile.
“Ruan Ruan dear, he probably likes you, that’s why he did that.”
Wu Xiaomin tried to persuade patiently, though this time Young Master Si would have to suffer from unrequited love – their Ruan Ruan already had a boyfriend.
“Si Yuan likes me? Impossible, he just enjoys teasing and bullying me.” Clutching the jar of candy, Ling Qing Ruan continued walking outside.
Wu Xiaomin shook her head without further explanation. Since Ruan Ruan was pregnant now, it was better for her to have less contact with Si Yuan. She heard that the eldest young master of the Si family wasn’t a good person.
What if he tried to take her by force? Their Ruan Ruan would be in danger.
In the entire Imperial Capital, whose influence could surpass the Si family? The head of the Si family, Second Master, practically held everything in his hands. If he stamped his foot, the entire Imperial Capital would tremble.
How terrifying…
After exiting the main gate and turning right, Ling Qing Ruan walked a few steps and saw the familiar car.
“Ruan Ruan, I’ll head back now. Take good care of yourself during pregnancy and my goddaughter. Don’t let my precious girl go hungry.”
“Okay, I’ll make sure the baby grows plump and healthy.”(′つヮ)
“Hahaha, she hasn’t even formed yet, how could she be plump?””
Ling Qing Ruan: (,,.,,)
Mu Yun opened the car door, revealing the man’s tall figure. Dressed in a meticulous suit and tie, his handsome face resembled that of a deity.
“You’re here…”
Si Zhanhan’s long legs carried him two steps closer as he swept Ling Qing Ruan’s slender body into his arms with one hand, his voice deep.
“Mm, are you still feeling unwell today? Any vomiting?”
Ling Qing Ruan shook her head. “It’s much better than the past two days. I only vomited twice.”
“That’s good. Let’s go home. I’ve already communicated with the school – they’ll approve your one-year leave. You can catch up directly when you return.”
This little girl had good dance foundations. She could read books at home during her free time and would definitely keep up.
Ling Qing Ruan didn’t speak. Si Zhanhan had arranged everything, but she still wanted to attend for two more months. The baby was still small and wouldn’t be noticeable in her belly.
“Xiaomin, I won’t be able to accompany you often anymore.”
Looking at Si Zhanhan’s face, Wu Xiaomin felt it looked somewhat familiar. Last time he wore glasses, so she hadn’t seen clearly.
“Ruan Ruan, it’s fine. I can visit you.”
“Okay.”
Si Zhanhan personally carried Ling Qing Ruan into the car, one large hand feeling her soft hand – indeed cold as ice.
“Wearing so little, aren’t you cold?”
Si Zhanhan took his black coat and personally draped it over Ling Qing Ruan, placing her hand against his chest.
Feeling the warmth on her hand, Ling Qing Ruan squirmed restlessly in Si Zhanhan’s lap. She moved her hand to the man’s neck, wearing a mischievous smile. “Si Zhanhan, is it very cold?”
“Not cold.”
Si Zhanhan held Ling Qing Ruan’s hand to warm it, only then noticing she was still holding a jar of milk candy in her arms. Moreover, this brand of candy…
“Ruan Ruan, where did this jar of milk candy come from?”
Ling Qing Ruan tightly hugged her milk candy with both arms, her large watery eyes looking at Si Zhanhan. “Someone gave it to me.”
Si Zhanhan narrowed his eyes slightly, asking in a low voice, “Who? Male or female?”
“Male.”
Male?
Si Zhanhan’s eyes darkened. “Ruan Ruan, I’ll buy you whatever candy you want to eat. Don’t accept things from others in the future.”
Ling Qing Ruan muttered quietly, “I didn’t want it. He insisted on giving it to me. He said if I didn’t take it, he’d throw it away.”
“Who?”
“Just a classmate. Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know him.”
Ling Qing Ruan eagerly opened the jar and started eating a milk candy.
How strange – why did the candies from Si Zhanhan and Si Yuan look the same? The taste seemed identical too.
“Then throw it away. I’ll buy you whatever you want to eat.”
“No! Such a big jar of candy would be such a waste if thrown away.”
Ling Qing Ruan hugged the milk candy tightly, afraid the man might really throw it away.
Si Zhanhan’s face darkened somewhat. To avoid frightening the young girl, he restrained himself considerably.
“Ruan Ruan, how’s your consideration of that matter? The three-day deadline is up today.”
Ling Qing Ruan looked up while chewing the milk candy. “Si Zhanhan, I’ve decided. I’ll give birth to the baby and marry you. But you have to take care of the baby – I won’t know how.”
A smile appeared on Si Zhanhan’s face – this time a genuine one – as he gently tapped the girl’s delicate, upturned nose.
“Wasn’t counting on you to raise the baby anyway. You can’t even take care of yourself properly.”
“I can take care of myself! I even worked summer jobs and earned lots and lots of money.”
When Ling Qing Ruan said “lots and lots of money,” she actually meant 200 yuan. She had worked for almost two months, but being clumsy and breaking plates and bowls, all her money got deducted.
Her boss had been extremely dissatisfied with her and repeatedly considered firing her.
Right before her summer job ended, Ling Qing Ruan encountered Si Zhanhan, was forcibly taken to bed, and ended up losing herself in the process.
Had to admit, this summer job turned out quite remarkable!
“Mm, Ruan Ruan is amazing.Si Zhanhan patiently coaxed the little girl. In his eyes, she was still a child – a blank sheet of paper that knew nothing.
In the future, he would protect her well.
