"Don’t ever show up in front of me again, and until the child is eighteen, don’t show up in front of him either. I know my request is unreasonable, but if you want children, you can have Lan Keren bear them for you. He is my only child, and I don’t want to share his life with you, nor do I want to see you or disrupt your lives... Anyway, I beg you to agree to my request."
Tang Yuchen’s face turned grim suddenly, and a surge of anger welled up inside him instantly.
He thought she would say something else, but this was unexpected!
He gritted his teeth and growled, "An Ruo, you don’t want the child to know who his father is, right?!"
"No..." She just didn’t want to see him again.
"That’s what you mean. Let me tell you, without me, you wouldn’t have this child. You think you can deprive me of my rights as a father? No way!"
An Ruo anxiously said, "If you want a child, someone else can bear them for you. Why must you fight with me for this one?"
"You just reminded me, if you dare say such things again, be careful because if the child is born, I will fight for custody."
An Ruo’s eyes widened in shock. What was he talking about?
Thinking he had intimidated her, Tang Yuchen continued, "Baby, don’t think I’m just joking. If you want the child, you can’t stop me from seeing him. You should know, gaining custody of the child would be easy for me."
"..." An Ruo gripped the phone tightly, her palms sweating coldly.
His words terrified her. If she didn’t stop him from seeing the child, she would have to face him every day and live a life in agony.
If she prevented him from seeing the child, the child could no longer belong to her...
An Ruo felt like she was about to collapse. Why did he have to press her so hard, what had she done wrong?
All she wanted was a peaceful life; was that so difficult?
Not hearing her response, Tang Yuchen said, "I’ll visit you again tomorrow. That’s it for now, I’m hanging up. Get some rest early."
An Ruo hung up the phone and leaned against the sofa, unable to recover for a long time.
What should she do, and how could she completely free herself from Tang Yuchen?
Should she leave this place?
Yes, leave this place, go far away, and come back only when she has fully forgotten him.
Once decided, An Ruo immediately began to pack her belongings, planning to leave early the next morning.
She didn’t have much stuff—she packed two sets of clothes, some documents, and that was it.
Opening a drawer, she saw a necklace lying inside and hesitated whether to take it with her.
It was a necklace he had given her, with photos of her and Xiao Ji inside.
She decided not to take it, but felt a bit reluctant and eventually took it with her.
Packing a small case, An Ruo went to sleep, planning in her mind how to escape from there.
The next morning at six o’clock, she woke up.
Quickly washing up and getting dressed, An Ruo dragged her luggage downstairs and withdrew twenty-thousand yuan from an ATM.
She guessed she wouldn’t be able to use her bank card for a long time; otherwise, Tang Yuchen would definitely find her based on the withdrawal locations.
She took a taxi to the airport and bought a ticket to K City. Then she sat in the terminal waiting for security check and boarding.
Tang Yuchen woke up after seven o’clock, his mind occupied with thoughts about the child, maintaining a pleasant mood the whole time.
Lan Keren had moved in here, but they hadn’t shared a room.
He had said that he would only touch her after they were married.
That was the least respect he owed her.
