“… Did my departure bring her trouble?”
Raising his eyes, Egger looked at the woman with a hint of uncertainty.
After all, the girl had tried so hard to protest to the dean about his grade.
That was the first time someone had protected him, as well as the first time he understood what love was…
“There’s no trouble, but what you did wasn’t right still.”
Tang Xiaoyu did not make things difficult for him as many years had passed since then. Moreover, it did not have much impact on her best friend.
In any case, this guy had helped her best friend out a lot.
She, thus, chalked it all up to karma.
Her best friend helped this guy out in the past, and he helped her out years later…
It was really an indescribable affinity.
Maybe this person was Ge Ge’s destined partner…
They really do have affinity, after all!
Besides, he doesn’t seem to mind that she’s pregnant.
Aiya! Oh, well! We’ll just see how things develop once the two meet each other.
With her imaginations running wild and both men having thoughts of theirs, the trio arrived at where they had agreed to meet Pei Ge.
The woman spotted her best friend first from afar.
“Ge Ge!”
She waved happily and ran toward her.
Hearing her call, Egger became nervous. His heart beat even faster than it did before.
“Xiaoyu!”
He regarded the woman in the white dress from afar. The loose-fitting dress covered her figure, leaving only her belly.
Truthfully, the woman before him was not as good-looking as he had imagined. She had a huge belly, did not have any makeup on, and stood under the sun just like that.
She was even a little bloated because of water retention from her pregnancy.
It was also a little tough to connect her to the goddess in his youth, but such a plain-looking woman made his heart thump the moment he saw her.
An emotion called affection spread filled his heart right there and then.
Pound, pound!
His heart beat wildly, and no one knew how agitated he was at that moment.
It might be the first time he had the feeling of losing control of his emotions in so many years.
“Ge Ge, how did your checkup go?”
Tang Xiaoyu took quick steps to the other woman’s side with a smile.
“The results won’t be out that fast. Anyway, look at my ultrasound; the doctor said that, based on this, I should be carrying twins.”
“Ah! You’ve already had your ultrasound? Why didn’t you call me? I really wanted to see how the babies look,” she muttered unhappily.
“You wouldn’t have been able to see anything even if you had been there.”
Pei Ge shook her head wryly as she watched her best friend grumble.
“The doctor said that the babies are relatively healthy.”
At that moment, contentment was written all over her face as maternal love radiated from her.
“That’s good; that’s good.”
The other heaved a sigh of relief at this news.
“What about you? How’s your body?”
While her best friend breathed in relief, Gu Zhengrong looked at her sternly.
She met the man’s eyes with a smile at his question.
“A full-body checkup takes quite a while.”
Still, it was fine as long as her children were healthy.
He frowned a little over her response, but before he could say anything, he saw a hint of confusion flash past the woman’s face.
“This is?”
She happened to catch sight of Egger when she looked up.
Only then did she notice the presence of a person next to Gu Zhengrong.
This person’s gaze on her was rather odd; it was as if… they knew each other and were quite close.
Hearing her inquiry, the man frowned. He wanted to gloss over his business partner and part ways with her, but Tang Xiaoyu chimed in before he could do anything.
“Ge Ge, this is the surprise I mentioned to you!”
Her best friend shifted her eyes between her and the stranger with a playful smile.
She got more confused at the other’s reaction.
“Surprise?”
She turned to look at the stranger before her.
It must be mentioned that this person looked quite outstanding.
He seemed to be of mixed blood. His dark eyes had hints of blue in them, and his features were rather well-defined…
“Do I know him?”
Even after staring at the guy for a while, she still could not recognize him.
At that moment, her thoughts ran in the same track as her best friend’s.
Given the person’s looks and aura, there was no way she would have forgotten him.
“Of course, you know him! You more than know him, too.”
The other woman blinked with a smile upon seeing how confused she looked.
Meanwhile, when he perceived Pei Ge studying him, Egger’s nervousness increased by a lot.
He really wanted to talk to this woman that he had kept in his mind all these years, but…
The moment she looked at him, he could only stand there stiffly.
It was as if he were back to his teenage years of naivety and insecurity, and he could only stand there and be scrutinized by this woman.
“Were you mistaken? I don’t think I know such a person.”
