Chapter 434: Chapter 431
At the door, Shen Lin looked at this scene and ultimately turned and left, leaving the time and space to the two alone.
After doing her best to adjust her emotions, Wen Xian spoke with a voice mixed with a thick, slightly nasal tone, somewhat hoarse, “Lu Xiao, I’ve given it some thought, and you’re right about what you said today, perhaps we shouldn’t… rush to get our marriage certificate.”
As she spoke these words, her small fist balled tight underneath her hospital gown, the tip of her nose becoming unavoidably sour.
But what could she do? The moment she uttered those words, her heart was bleeding.
Because she knew, once they postponed, and she left Beijing with Lu Xiao, there was no telling when they would actually get their marriage certificate…
It could become indefinitely delayed by her own insistence.
What if she could never become pregnant?
Better to give him a way out.
He was a good man, deserving of the best of everything.
But now, as her words fell, Lu Xiao’s body stiffened.
He just stared at her, the depths of his eyes inscrutable.
The air around him gradually grew colder, an indescribable chill seeping in.
“Do you know what you’re saying?”
Wen Xian controlled her emotions, turned her face towards him with slightly reddened eyes, yet her lips curved into a faint smile, she said softly, “There was a car accident today, I think you may have a lot of things to deal with, so for our marriage certificate, let’s wait… wait until you’ve taken care of everything… and then we’ll talk.”
She spoke as if she would still be waiting to get the certificate.
But if in the morning, she was one hundred percent willing, after hearing the doctor’s words, she no longer wanted to.
Life is unpredictable, she thought; why would heaven give her such a good man?
Perhaps one day, she would have to push him away with her own hands…
And Lu Xiao just listened to her words, saw her even smile a little, as if to comfort him like that, and at that moment, his heart felt as if it was being cut with a knife.
He stayed silent, bitterness seemingly filling between his lips.
Because no one knew better than him why she had been so eager in the morning, even threatening to get the certificate with her.
But now, after hearing the doctor’s words, she was saying there was no rush.
Ultimately, they were both the same.
Both were considering the other, he feared dragging her down, and she feared not being able to become pregnant in the future.
Lu Xiao clenched his fist tightly, then released it, lifting the thin blanket over her body and said distantly without any hint of emotion, “Stop thinking about these things and focus on recovering first.”
After speaking, he added, “I’ve got something to do, I’ll step out for a moment.”
Then, he left straight away.
Watching his retreating figure, Wen Xian’s emotions could no longer be contained, and her tears flooded out like a dam had broken.
Despite that, she just quietly wept, only letting out a few choked sobs when she truly could not hold back any longer.
Lu Xiao was twenty-eight, and not to mention his mother thought she was pregnant, it was also about time for Lu Xiao to have children.
She thought that without taking any precautions, it would happen.
Yet, she didn’t expect that even without precautions, getting pregnant might still be difficult.
And just now, when she had agreed to postpone the marriage certificate, Lu Xiao didn’t object.
Although he had originally wanted to postpone due to some issues he needed to handle.
But now that it was truly postponed, her heart ached indescribably, lost, because she knew it may never happen.
Just as Wen Xian’s tears became uncontrollable, suddenly—
