Chapter 912: Through His Thin Shirt

An’an pressed her hands over her chest, and frowned uncomfortably.

“An’an, what’s wrong?” Tang Mo’er quickly asked her. “Are you feeling unwell?”

“I’m fine...”

An’an left her seat and ran over to one side. She bent over and retched twice.

Upstairs, Lu Yan was still standing on the balcony. His gaze had always been following An’an. Looking at An’an retch, he frowned and took his hands out of his pockets, grabbing the railings.

“An’an.” Tang Mo’er ran over and looked suspiciously at An’an. “An’an, you were feeling well just now. Why are you retching now? Don’t tell me you’re... pregnant?”

Pregnant?

These two words he could read on their lips[a] seemed to reverberate in Lu Yan’s ears. She was pregnant?

She was pregnant with his child?

They had been together for the past few days, and he hadn’t used protection that night. If she was really pregnant...

Lu Yan’s pupils shrunk, and his muscles tensed up under his black shirt. His expression immediately turned to one of surprise and... joy.

She was pregnant. He was going to be a father!

He had never dared to think of it.

He was already forty this year. Three years ago, he had lost a leg, and when he was hiding in the mountains, he had thought about how he was going to be alone for the rest of his life.

He came into this world alone, and would leave alone.

But she was pregnant!

Lu Yan stood frozen for a few seconds before turning around quickly. He walked swiftly out of the room. His usual unhurried footsteps had turned anxious now. He had to find her!

...

Downstairs.

Tang Mo’er grabbed An’an’s delicate wrist tightly. “An’an, don’t tell me you’re really pregnant? Did you sleep with Master Yan again?”

It was his fickle and free nature that made her afraid of getting pregnant. She no longer dared to bear a child for him. No longer dared to be a mother.

Because she was afraid.

She grew up without a father, in the oppressive and dark environment of the Gu Family. She wanted to be thoroughly prepared if she was going to be a mother one day, and wanted a man who could give her love. True, unconditional love.

But, he hadn’t given her anything. So who was he to ask her for a child now!

“Lu Yan, it doesn’t matter if I’m not pregnant. Even if I was, I would never give birth to your child!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Lu Yan stopped in his tracks. The vein on his forehead started pulsing. His brown eyes immediately turned bloodshot, and he said nothing, only continued walking.

His silent demeanor made An’an felt as though there was a needle stuck in her heart, aching and painful. She opened her mouth and bit his hand.

She bit him hard. Lu Yan knitted his brows together, but didn’t let go of her, only let her bite him in silence.

An’an could taste his blood. She had drawn blood from his hand and gotten him to loosen his grip on her. She glared at him with red-rimmed eyes. “Lu Yan, do you not understand human speech? I already said that I’ll never give you a child! Look at how old you are already. You even have a missing leg. What can you give my child?”

Lu Yan looked at her with bloodshot eyes, still silent.

An’an had been thoroughly angered. No matter what she didn’t she couldn’t break free of his iron grasp. She laughed coldly. “Lu Yan, I’m going to start screaming for help if you don’t let go of me! I don’t think you can afford to be in the public’s eye right now, don’t blame me if you’re revealed!”

Even though Lu Yan heard this, he still did not let go.

An’an took a deep breath and screamed loudly, “Help! Help-mm!”

Lu Yan suddenly hugged her tightly, his strong arms wrapping around her waist as he half-carried, half-shoved her into a remote corner. He suddenly thought of something. He released her waist and wrapped his hands around her shoulders, pushing her against the wall, then bent down to press his lips onto hers.

Mmmh!

An’an was about to go crazy. He hadn’t said anything so far, and only knew how to kiss her!

“Let gー!” She struggled like her life depended on it, twisting her head so he couldn’t kiss her.

At this moment, a set of footsteps approached them. “Is there someone here?”

A rich madam seemed to be coming closer.

An’an’s eyes lit up. “Helー”

Before the words were out of her mouth, Lu Yan’s lips pressed down on hers. He grabbed her hands and brought them to the place closest to his heart.

Through his thin shirt, she could feel... a ring.

[a]He was upstairs. Doesn’t make sense that he could hear them.
