She understood he was caring for her and didn’t argue, instead responding with a smile.
Actually, with a stomach only five months old, it wasn’t necessary to stay home and rest yet. Many women still go to work when seven or eight months pregnant.
The phone suddenly rang again. An Ruo thought it might be Xia Nuo, but when she looked, it was He Yuan.
As she opened the phone, Tang Yuchen suddenly snatched it from her hands, put it to his ear, and coldly asked, "What is it?"
He Yuan on the other side was taken aback. He chuckled and asked, "I heard An Ruo is not feeling well. Is she feeling better now?"
"She’s fine now. Also, she and I have already made up, so you don’t need to try persuading her to marry you anymore." After saying that, he hung up the phone without any courtesy.
An Ruo was speechless and said with a laugh, "You shouldn’t be so hostile towards He Yuan, actually he..."
"I know, he actually likes men."
"You... how did you know?"
Tang Yuchen snorted coldly, "Wouldn’t I check? Is it not true he wants you to marry him just to shut his family up?"
"...Yeah." An Ruo nodded.
At first, when He Yuan straightforwardly proposed marriage, she was very surprised.
He had explained with a smile that he only liked men.
But his family insisted on him marrying a woman, and not wanting to let his parents down too much, he thought about marrying a lesbian.
However, a lesbian might not get pregnant, right?
And An Ruo was the most suitable candidate, not only was she pregnant, she also had no intention of getting married, and wanted to stay single for life.
So, he had been persistently persuading An Ruo to marry him, promising to raise her child as his own.
Unfortunately, An Ruo had never agreed to his request.
Tang Yuchen pinched her nose and asked, "If it weren’t for me stopping you, would you have really considered making my son’s father a gay man?"
If that were really the case, he would not let that man off easily.
An Ruo shook her head with a smile, "I never had the idea of getting married. I was only trying to provoke you at the time, in truth I had already refused him. Besides, He Yuan and I are now friends, sisters actually."
Tang Yuchen felt a shiver down his spine, the idea of a man and a woman being ’sisters’ was indeed weird.
Then, feeling self-admiring, he asked, "Baby, you don’t want to marry any other man, is it because your heart has room only for me?"
An Ruo slapped her hand onto his face and said wordlessly, "I’ve seen narcissists, but never one as narcissistic as you."
The man pulled down her hand, leaned in, and kissed her lips, "Admit it, you’ve always loved only me, and your heart has room only for me. Baby, there’s no shame in admitting you love me, I won’t laugh at you."
An Ruo dodged his kiss with a smile, "Tang Yuchen, remember it was you who confessed your love to me yesterday, don’t twist the truth."
Tang Yuchen grew unsteady, he grabbed her waist, steadying her body to prevent her from moving.
"Then you say you love me."
"You won’t say it? I have plenty of ways to make you say it." He wrapped one arm around her, while the other hand tickled her, making An Ruo laugh until tears came out.
"Say it quickly, and then I’ll let you go," laughed Tang Yuchen.
"Alright, I’ll say it." She quickly caved, and the man released her.
An Ruo caught her breath and, holding his face, she said, "Tang Yuchen, I love you..."
Just as his gaze softened with deep tenderness, she loudly added, "Just kidding!"
The man’s face darkened instantly, but she laughed heartily, feeling extremely satisfied at seeing him put out.
