Xia Nuannuan was completely stunned.
She raised her head and stared at Shen Zihao with disbelief.
Get married?
She widened her eyes and clenched her fists.
She had never imagined that it would turn out this way.
But should she get married?
Her heart started to thump even faster.
She could only feel a sense of turmoil, and that it was hard to explain her emotions.
Marriage.
She had thought of that before. That one day in her life she would ultimately get married.
However, she had not imagined that the day would arrive so soon.
And was this child his?
Xia Nuannuan bit her lip as she stood up.
She glanced at Shen Zihao and, after a moment, lowered her head and said, “No need, I don’t need you to take responsibility for this.”
These words were an indirect answer to the question of who the child belonged to.
Shen Zihao’s facial expression darkened.
So it turned out that the child was really his.
When he saw the document earlier on, he had already had his doubts.
However, when he recalled that she had secretly taken 2000 from him, and also remembered that she had worked as a waitress in Glitter, he felt that perhaps he was thinking too much.
He had been totally drunk the first time they had been together. After the incident, he couldn’t recall what had happened.
Thus, he completely did not know that that had been her first time.
However, when he saw her demeanor when she entered the observation room, he couldn’t help but become suspicious.
He got increasingly uneasy.
The images of that night kept flashing in his mind—of how she had appeared at the hospital, hugging, coaxing and calming him with her gentle voice.
He also recalled secretly visiting Xia Yehua in the hospital, but each time, he would see her gently taking care of Xia Yehua.
Her gentleness had even seemed to soften his heart.
If it hadn’t been for what had happened that day, he felt that he would have fallen in love with her.
As he thought about this, reflexively, he suddenly stood up and dashed into the observation room. He blurted out that sentence out of impulse.
However, he realized that he had relaxed after saying those words.
Indeed.
It was just a marriage, wasn’t it?
Wouldn’t it be a good idea to protect her in the future?
Even if this child wasn’t his, he also wanted to be able to protect her.
But what had she just said?
She didn’t need him to take account for his actions.
So this sentence implied that the child was his?
Shen Zihao did not say another word and simply took a step forward, grabbed her wrist and walked out of the room.
Xia Nuannuan jumped up in shock. “You- What are you doing?”
“You cannot abort this child.”
Xia Nuannuan bit her lip and asked, “Why?”
“Because the child’s dad does not agree with it.”
Xia Nuannuan: …
Shen Zihao turned around and glared at her fiercely. “Hey! Did you hear what I’ve just said? I disagree and hence you cannot abort this baby!”
Xia Nuannuan remained silent. But after a while, she suddenly burst out laughing.
Along with her laughter, her eyes turned red and misty.
Shen Zihao was stunned. “Are you actually crying or laughing?!”
Xia Nuannuan lowered her head without saying a word.
Shen Zihao was not bothered by it. He took her straight to the carpark, started the car and headed out.
In the beginning, Xia Nuannuan did not react fast enough. Only when the car had started to cruise down the road did she notice the unfamiliar scenery outside. She was slightly stunned. “Where are you taking me to?”
“Home.”
Xia Nuannuan immediately turned to look at him.
Shen Zihao continued, “We will go home to get our household registration booklet and ID, and then go to town hall.”
“There’s no need to pick a date. Let’s just go apply for our certificate today.”
