Once again, Yong Liwei was caught off-guard by the woman beside him. There were times where she could be easily embarrassed about things such as these but also, there were times where she just was this shameless. She was simply unbelievable.
He flicked her forehead lightly as he spoke, "don't even tempt me to do you right now. I don't think it will do good to your condition."
A small pout appeared on her lips as she lightly rubbed her forehead. Just then, a 'bright' idea entered her mind which made her grinned playfully as she replied, "we can always ask the doctor!"
"..."
Of course, they could but he rather not do it with her in fear that he might lose his control. Besides, he was bothered by something else sp he simply couldn't just let his desires get ahead of him. It has been months after all and Yong Liwei knew how attracted he was towards her despite having no feelings for her. It was something different than love. At least that was what he thought.
He heaved out a helpless sigh as he said, "yes, we can always ask the doctor." Though he was not serious about it especially when he knew that she was just teasing him. He began washing the dishes for her in the sink.
Lu Mengjie took the towel to wipe the appliances dry after he washed them clean before she placed them on the container. Unlike a few moments ago, the atmosphere between them became better. The two weren't disporting any negativity to each other. This time, they looked like a real married couple, happily enjoying such a simple moment they had with each other. Sadly, she had to spoil the mood once again by opening her mouth and saying, "I'll be leaving for Japan soon…"
"Eh?" He blinked a few times, turning to her, his brows knitted together in confusion. "Won't you be staying here until you give birth?"
"Change of plans," she replied quite grimly. Even she didn't want to go back just yet but Bai Keran was not a stupid person. If they delayed their plans any further, he might notice that something was wrong. He might even be already doubting that they were up to something, after all, it has already been weeks since they went out from his radar. He would soon find out that she faked her miscarriage and that the child she was carrying still belonged to another man. Hopefully, her small act with Bai Jingye would be enough to convince others.
Lu Mengjie explained the plan that Tian Ruyi told her to the man beside her and continued, "that's why we won't be able to see each other for a while. We will need to stay away since I'll be entering Bai Keran's territory again."
"Ah..." The man trailed off. He didn't look bothered by her words at all. "I understand. I wouldn't want to put you and our child in danger as well so I think staying away for a while will be the best for us," he said.
Yong Liwei understood their situation and he looked like he didn't mind it at all especially when the things on both their sides were not going well. She has something she should focus on while on the other hand, he has something else in mind that needed his attention.
She was quiet for a while since she had a similar thought as him but at the same time, she couldn't help but be saddened at how things were going for them. Their relationship was going downward and was slowly cracking. "Should we just break up?"
Her sudden question startled Yong Liwei, making him face her. "Why?" He inquired with curiosity heard in his voice and at the same time, something else.
"I don't think our relationship will do well with us being like this," she continued, a small bitter smile on her lips. She was straightforward, always has been. She was always honest with the things that have been bothering her mind. "If we continue to be like this, do you think things will continue to work out for us?"
The man became quiet, his emotions unreadable because of the blank look on his face, she was quite right about their situation after all. With how things were going between them right now, breaking up should be the safe step to take.
"If you're worried about our child, you don't have to. You will still be his father. It's just, I think that we should carefully think of what we want right now," she said, casting her eyes on the ground, avoid the distant look on his face.
"I know that I have been reckless, my pregnancy was never a part of our plan." Lu Mengjie clenched her fists tightly, mustering courage inside. It was not easy to admit on one's mistake but she was not the type to just ran away from it.
This time, she arched her neck back, raising her line of view and once again, staring back at his deep midnight eyes. "It was my mistake to rush things, I will fully admit to my sin so now, I want to become careful when it comes to the next step that I'm going to take." She was looking straight into his eyes without wavering. Not even a little bit. It was her mistake and she should be the one to take care of it. "That's why I won't force you to take responsibility. I won't force you to marry me. If you're worried about the child, we can still be the child's parents… it will just be a bit complicated-"
She stopped talking. She didn't have a choice but to do so since her mouth was suddenly sealed by his soft lips. Her eyes widened in surprise since she was totally not expecting the closeness of his face. She has never thought that he would end up kissing her at that moment.
