It turned out that after she fell asleep, Lu Momo gave it some thought and felt that she didn’t seem to be alright. Hence, she decided to call Mo Qiange for help.
When Mo Qiange arrived, Luo Anning was still sound asleep but even then, she was still frowning.
He stroked her forehead to ease her frown while gazing at her flawless face affectionately.
He woke her at five o’clock sharp.
Luo Anning opened her eyes and rubbed them wearily. “Qiange, why are you here?”
She then sat up while Mo Qiange handed her a cup of honey water. “Have some honey to soothe your throat.”
Luo Anning grabbed it and took a few sips before asking, “Where’s Momo?”
Mo Qiange pointed at the kitchen with his index finger and Luo Anning looked over, only to see that Lu Momo was staring at a fish that was alive and jumping, feeling at a complete loss over what to do.
Trying to contain his laughter, Mo Qiange said, “She said that she wanted to brew you some fish soup but it seems difficult for her to achieve it now.”
Luo Anning burst out into laughter, put down her cup and said, “I’ll go help her. She’s never done any cooking or household chores before, I shall not look forward to her making me any fish soup.”
“Wait a minute,” Mo Qiange called.
Luo Anning turned around and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Mo Qiange patted the spot beside him and gestured for her to sit down. After she did, he asked slowly, “Anning, tell me honestly. Are you bothered because Mo Xiyan pestered Rong Yan again?”
Luo Anning thought about it for a while before answering, “It’s been alright lately because she has never appeared in front of me.”
Mo Qiange nodded and asked, “Does… Rong Yan treat you well?”
This time, Luo Anning answered smilingly without hesitation, “Yeah, he treats me very well.”
Despite knowing clearly that she could never conceive again, Rong Yan did not abandon her, thus making her feel rather touched.
“Good to hear… good to hear… ” Mo Qiange muttered while hanging his head low morosely.
…
At Luxury Mansion at night.
As soon as Luo Anning entered the living room, she saw the handsome and refined Rong Yan seated on the couch in a lofty and poised manner.
Upon sight of her, Rong Yan reached his slender and fair hand out, after which Rong Yan smiled and walked towards him to give him her hand.
Rong Yan gripped her hand tightly while she fell back into his arms. He rubbed her silky smooth hair and asked gently, “Why are you so late?”
“I had dinner with Momo and Qiange,” she answered truthfully.
He grabbed her chin and forced her to make eye contact with him. He pressed his lips together and said with a look of worry, “Do you feel better now?”
Luo Anning widened her eyes and looked at him in shock…
He sighed and held her in his embrace again. Rong Yan rubbed his chin against her head gently. “Before you went to the hospital, Bai Qi already told me everything. I know you went to Momo’s place so I resisted the urge to rush you to come home.”
He knew that Luo Anning was just as prideful as him. Hence, he knew that she was definitely ashamed of having to undergo IVF treatment, just like himself.
The entire process of having their semen and ovaries extracted respectively, was enough to make them feel incredibly embarrassed…
Besides, she would be extremely exhausted by the series of repetitive body checkups required for the treatment.
“Rong Yan… ” she called gently.
“Yes?”
