The man held her hand, pleading pleasingly, "I want to eat the dumplings you cook."
"Okay, you wait, I’ll go make them for you."
"I’ll come and make them with you." He naturally didn’t feel at ease letting her stay in the kitchen alone.
An Ruo didn’t refuse, as she also really enjoyed the scene of the two of them being busy in the kitchen together.
After cooking a big bowl of dumplings, Tang Yuchen ate satisfyingly and very comfortably. Seeing the content look on his face, An Ruo smiled and asked him, "Do you like dumplings that much?"
He had eaten countless delicacies from mountains and seas, why would he like dumplings?
The man looked at her intensely, somewhat seriously said, "I like the dumplings that you make."
That counted as sweet talk, right?
She realized that since they had fallen in love, the way he spoke to her had become increasingly cheesy. He hadn’t been before, but she quite liked this about him.
An Ruo smiled shyly with her eyes downcast, and as Tang Yuchen looked at her, a deep gleam flashed through his eyes.
He held her close, smiling as he said, "Baby, I have something to tell you."
The man didn’t know how to start, he thought for a moment, and said carefully, "I estimate I will need to go abroad for some observations for a while, I don’t want to go, but I must be the one to go. I don’t know how to tell you this, but I hope you won’t be angry with me."
An Ruo looked up, the smile on her lips also vanished: "How long will you be gone?"
"...At most two months."
She thought it was only for a week or two, not two months.
Two months are sixty days, 1440 hours. She would miss him if she didn’t see him for five or six hours, let alone such a long time.
An Ruo pursed her lips and didn’t speak, Tang Yuchen cradled her face, his eyes shimmering with a bit of guilt: "I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t leave you at this time. But..."
He had no choice, he must go, this was something beyond his control.
An Ruo forced a smile and said, "You don’t need to feel guilty, I understand you. I’m just a bit reluctant since you will be gone for so long."
The man’s eyes brightened, showing delight: "You really aren’t blaming me?"
"Yes." She wasn’t an unreasonable person, "When are you leaving?"
"...Tomorrow morning."
"Tomorrow?" An Ruo was stunned, "Why so soon?"
Leaving tomorrow, she had no mental preparation at all.
"This was decided today as well," Tang Yuchen held her hand tightly, his voice deep: "I’ve been thinking all day about how to tell you this. Now that you are pregnant, I really don’t want to leave you."
But he must leave, was this some kind of punishment from heaven? He had always played with women, never taking them seriously, and now he was facing retribution.
An Ruo leaned into his embrace, very unwilling to let him leave, yet she had to understand and Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!
She didn’t want him to delay his career because of her, nor did she wish that one day he might regret deciding to give up the chance to go because of her.
"Okay, you go, the kid and I will wait for you to come back home." An Ruo smiled.
Tang Yuchen suddenly kissed her lips, almost greedily savoring her sweetness.
Baby, thank you for your understanding, thank you.
The deep, affectionate kiss lasted a long time before ending, he slowly let her go, his forehead against hers, tenderly murmured: "An Ruo, I love you."
An Ruo smiled faintly, responding to him, "I love you too."
