Chapter 418: Chapter 418: You Can Leave (4)
Mrs. Wu brought Yan Lingfeng a warm drink, but she still didn’t give Yan Lingfeng any friendly looks; she put down the cup and left. Yan Lingfeng smiled and said, “I hope next time I won’t be stopped at the door.”
Mrs. Wu huffed lightly. In her heart, she believed the miss would ultimately end up with the gentleman, and she couldn’t stand this third party who had suddenly appeared.
Yun Xuefei smiled and said to him, “Mrs. Wu’s milk tea is healthy and tasty. Warm up a bit with it and then head back.”
Just as Yan Lingfeng lifted the cup to his lips, he looked troubled by her words and put the cup down, “Go back?”
“Yes.” Yun Xuefei nodded, “You don’t need to accompany me to the hospital.”
“I just said that intentionally for Yanzhao to hear.” Yun Xuefei smiled helplessly, “Because I’m currently pregnant, it’s inevitable that there will no longer be a complete separation between him and me. However, since we are already divorced, there is no benefit in us remaining entangled.”
“You are very rational,” Yan Lingfeng said earnestly as he looked at her. “So, let me take care of you and the baby.”
“No need,” Yun Xuefei spoke calmly. “I don’t want unclear ties with him, nor do I want to get too close to you. I can treat you as an ordinary friend, but that’s it. I don’t think an ordinary male friend has an obligation to accompany me to prenatal appointments.”
Yan Lingfeng froze for a moment, then his tone became heavier, “Then, don’t consider me just an ordinary male friend! Xuefei, I’m serious.”
“I am serious too,” Yun Xuefei said as she looked at him, her dark eyes exceptionally calm, “I don’t want to continue dealing with my ex-husband, nor with an ex-boyfriend.”
“Xuefei…” Yan Lingfeng gave a bitter smile, “All of these things happened so many years ago, can’t you…”
“No.” Yun Xuefei’s tone was very firm, “Lingfeng, I thank you for your help recently. I have wavered before, but then I realized that, with my current state of mind, starting a new relationship with you would be very unwise, unfair to you as well, especially since I am carrying another man’s child.”
“I don’t mind!” Yan Lingfeng said urgently, “Xuefei, don’t you trust me?”
“Exactly, I don’t trust you,” Yun Xuefei’s voice cooled down, “This is my child, and I must eliminate any factor that might harm it, including you, even including Yanzhao. At the moment, besides myself, I don’t trust anyone!”
Yan Lingfeng was momentarily at a loss for words.
It was quite a while before he said persistently, “But you are alone now…”
“What about me being alone?” Yun Xuefei raised an eyebrow, her smile cold and detached, “Yan Lingfeng, have you forgotten why we broke up? I am not the kind of woman who needs a man to survive. Yes, I am pregnant now, but what I believe I need is a more professional doctor, not someone’s comforting words.”
Yan Lingfeng stared at her, feeling both burning passion and chilling cold inside.
Indeed, what made him unable to forget her was exactly this aloofness and rationality, but it was precisely this rationality that made her not need him.
“There will come a time when you need me…” Yan Lingfeng clenched his teeth, “Whenever it is, I… will be ready at your call.”
Only then did Yun Xuefei’s expression soften, and she smiled faintly: “Alright.”
