Zhou Shuang was obviously being pretentious right now. But every woman had the right to be pretentious, and how he hoped that she would be pretentious instead of being so feisty. Lu Yinan pointed at Zhou Shuang’s tummy and innocently asked, “Shouldn’t the three of them belong to my family?”
Zhou Shuang rolled her eyes and snapped, “Dozens of women are waiting to give birth to your children. You don’t have to keep thinking of mine.”
“Zhou Shuang, can we talk nicely in future? Let’s not bicker anymore.” Lu Yinan peered at Zhou Shuang as he whispered.
He realized that he had become more patient recently, and it considerably surprised him.
It almost enlightened him that nothing was absolute.
A man must yield at times.
Zhou Shuang pouted as all her anger and unhappiness evaporated at the sight of Lu Yinan’s seductive-looking eyes. She bent her head and mumbled, “What’s there to talk about? You can decide.”
Lu Yinan continued in a serious manner once more. “Who says that we can’t fall in love with each other over time?”
“Pfft!” Zhou Shuang cracked up.
Lu Yinan furrowed his eyebrows and he looked affronted. “Don’t laugh, I’m being serious. When I made this decision, I struggled and contemplated for a long time. This decision was a really painful one for me.”
How could she laugh at him?
Zhou Shuang heard him and she was crestfallen. “Since you feel tormented, then don’t do it. Besides that, why must I stick to your decision?”
Why did he have to force himself when he was unwilling to?
She wouldn’t want someone to be forced against his will to be with her. And she didn’t… didn’t even like him.
Lu Yinan was speechless…
Zhou Shuang angrily collapsed on the bed and pulled the blanket over her.
Lu Yinan spoke no more and he strode out of the bedroom.
Zhou Shuang heard his footsteps getting further and further away. She felt as though a rock had blocked her heart—she was suffocating.
…
“Oh my god!”
Su Yue opened her eyes and realized that it was morning. Sunlight was streaming in through the windows, and Su Yue hastily scrambled and sat up.
The man lying beside her sleepily fluttered his eyelids. A crease appeared in the middle of his eyebrows and he asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s morning!” answered Su Yue.
Ming Ansheng knew what was she worried and afraid of. He teased her. “You’re so excited because it’s morning?”
He sat up slowly and propped himself against the head of the bed. He was wearing his lounge wear.
Su Yue frowned at Ming Ansheng. “It’s morning and you’re still here.”
Ming Ansheng tried to suppress his laughter and continued to feign ignorance. “What are you trying to say?”
“Third sister-in-law will be here any minute. Leave now.” Su Yue grabbed Ming Ansheng’s arm and began to shove him.
Ming Ansheng didn’t even move an inch as he glanced at Su Yue. “If I leave the room now, I might meet her in the corridor.”
“That’s true.” Su Yue was getting frantic and she said, “If they come here, you need to hide inside the wardrobe.”
That seemed to be the only way.
Ming Ansheng could no longer suppress his grin. “Silly lass. Hurry up and get changed. You can go to their room instead.”
“Oh, yeah!” Su Yue slapped her forehead. “Why am I so stupid! Uncle Ming, you’re so smart.”
She stretched her hands and put them around Ming Ansheng’s neck before giving him a swift kiss on his cheek.
She climbed over him and jumped off the bed.
Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!!????
