He turned and walked toward the car, sitting inside to wait for her.
An Ruo’s heart had actually begun to waver; she really wanted to see the child.
Mo Hua saw the expression on her face, his gaze dropping slightly to mask the gloom in his eyes.
He spoke to her, "Perhaps he is lying to you."
So don’t go, come with me!
An Ruo glanced at him but said, "I think he probably wouldn’t lie to me, I haven’t seen Kangkang for such a long time..."
The desire in her tone to see the child was very strong; Mo Hua placed one hand behind his back, clenching it secretly.
He looked at her naturally, speaking with understanding, "Since you have this opportunity to meet the child, then go. I don’t want you to have any regrets because of me."
An Ruo’s eyes suddenly brightened, moved by his thoughtfulness.
"Mo Hua, thank you. We agreed to go out to eat together today, and now I can’t join you; I’m really sorry."
In her heart, he was indeed only in second place. No, perhaps not even second place.
Mo Hua curved his lips into an elegant and charming smile, tinged with a hint of melancholy, "It’s okay, you and I are one and the same; you don’t need to feel guilty. Moreover, I’m happy for you that you can see Kangkang."
An Ruo showed a touched smile, giving him a tight hug while whispering in his ear, "Thank you, you are really a good person."
"Then I must go, goodbye." Letting go of him, she waved at him and walked briskly towards Tang Yuchen’s car with a smile.
Mo Hua waved back at her, watching the car leave until it was out of sight before the smile at the corner of his mouth faded, and his expression turned very somber.
Tang Yuchen drove very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the car had already moved far away from Mo Hua’s sight.
He said with a cold face, dripping with sarcasm, "He agrees to let you see Kangkang, and you’re so grateful to him? I arranged for you to meet the child, why don’t I see you thanking me?"
An Ruowei frowned slightly, replying with sarcasm of her own, "I wonder who was it that made me and the child separate!"
"That is my child too!"
"He is the one I gave birth to!"
Tang Yuchen gripped the steering wheel tightly, glancing at her and said with great satisfaction, "Could you have given birth without me?"
"You..." An Ruo glared at him in shame and anger, then she spoke indifferently, "All you did was contribute a sperm, but it was me who was pregnant for ten months, me who went through the hardship of giving birth, and me who has always been by his side to look after him! The child should be with me; what right do you have to take him away as soon as you come back?"
The angrier she spoke, the more her tone carried a hint of grievance. Tang Yuchen pressed his lips tightly together and fell silent, the atmosphere in the car suddenly becoming very tense.
An Ruo turned to look outside the window, not letting him see the redness in her eyes.
After a while, she heard his deep voice, "I know, in your eyes I’m not good enough, and I know that I don’t have the right to take the child away from you. But I want to take care of him always, to be good to him. Do I have that chance? Before, it was other things that made me miss his growth, so now I don’t want to miss out anymore."
An Ruo’s eyes shimmered, her expression dimming slightly.
He continued, "An Ruo, it’s because I’m not good enough that I want to make amends. Maybe my approach isn’t right, but I’m trying to do better slowly. Are you willing to give me a chance, or do you want the child to never have a father?"
"...Even if you want to make it up to the child, you shouldn’t separate him and me," she said faintly.
