An Ruo looked up in surprise and met the man’s dark, deep eyes.
How could he be here?
Tang Yuchen gave He Yuan a cold glance and said to An Ruo in a deep voice, "Today is the day for the check-up, let’s go, follow me to the hospital!"
"Didn’t we just have a check-up last week?" An Ruo blurted out involuntarily.
"We need to check every week!"
"Excuse me, are you..." He Yuan began politely, only to be interrupted by Tang Yuchen.
"Yes, I am the father of her child, and also her ex-husband. I’m taking them to the hospital now, you may do as you please," he said bluntly, then pulled An Ruo toward his car.
He rushed off so quickly that An Ruo didn’t dare to struggle, fearing she might slip and fall.
It would be very unwise to hurt the child just to spite him.
Forced into the car, An Ruo only had time to wave goodbye to He Yuan before the car sped away.
Sitting up straight, An Ruo glanced at the man beside her and said calmly, "I haven’t buckled my seat belt."
The car immediately slowed down, and Tang Yuchen urged her, "Hurry up and buckle it."
Now he’s in a hurry, but when he was driving off in such a rush earlier, why didn’t he think of this?
After buckling her seat belt, An Ruo asked him displeasedly, "How did you know I was there?"
After speaking, she suddenly said," How could I forget, you have been having someone watch me."
He had just happened to pass by and saw them unintentionally.
Tang Yuchen pressed his lips together and didn’t reply, An Ruo didn’t bother to quibble with him anymore and asked with confusion, "We just had a check-up last week, isn’t it too frequent to go again now?"
"The child grows every day, you tell me, is it necessary to go every week?"
"But the equipment emits radiation, going often isn’t good for your health."
"Hmm, then we won’t go today," the man immediately compromised, leaving An Ruo speechless.
After bringing her home, he sat in the living room and asked, "That man, is he the one willing to marry you?"
An Ruo picked up a cup and took a sip of water, nodding her head, "Yes, it’s him."
Tang Yuchen fell silent, that man indeed didn’t seem to have any problems.
"I have returned now, you can leave," An Ruo set down the cup and said indifferently.
He rose abruptly and headed toward the bathroom.
She glanced at him, picked up the remote control, and turned on the television, flipping through a few channels before Tang Yuchen’s cellphone on the table rang.
She glanced at it, the name ’Ke Ren’ appeared on the screen.
Lowering her gaze, she withdrew her eyes, and after a short while, the phone fell silent.
Tang Yuchen came out, and she said indifferently, "Lan Keren called you."
Her tone was very natural, and her expression just as casual, as if saying ’someone called you’ in an offhand manner.
The man glanced at her, took his cellphone, and went to the balcony to call Lan Keren back.
Lan Keren said she was feeling a bit unwell and asked when he was coming back. He said he would be back in a while.
After ending the call and walking back into the living room, he lectured her, "You have been going out too often lately, be careful not to overexert yourself. Try to go out less in the future and eat less food from outside."
"I have the situation under control," she said.
He wanted to say more but decided against it. Picking up his coat, he said to her, "I’m leaving."
An Ruo focused on the TV, waving him off impatiently, "Go on then."
Tang Yuchen opened the door and left, closing it behind him.
He realized that An Ruo’s attitude toward him had changed; she was very cold to him, without any deliberate pretense.
Facing him, it was as though she was dealing with a very ordinary friend.
