An Xiaotu jokingly responded to all sorts of similar teasing comments with a good attitude. 。And some are comments from family and relatives. 。For example, Xiao Ya Bai's comment: 'Damn it, hit in the...Soon after, Hayley sent Xiao Yabai a few designs for baby clothes. She even noted the fabric choices, emphasizing how they would protect the babies' delicate skin. It was a gift for the two little ones, she said.

Since he doesn't have the energy to do it himself right now, and Kr·C International deals with clothing, Tang Moqing could just give the design drawings to other tailors.

It's almost 10 am.

Holly had just finished making breakfast when she heard a knock at the door.

A sense of confusion clouded her mind. She hadn't given An Xiaotu her address when they had met before, so who could be at the door now

With confusion, she untied her apron and went to open the door.

Seeing the person standing outside through the cat's eye, Herly jumped in fright, her face paling.

Hearing the knocks still echoing, she quickly came to her senses and swiftly calmed her racing heart.

Taking a deep breath, she turned and poured herself a glass of cold water before returning to her room. She put on a loose-fitting, thin coat that could conceal her figure and then opened the door.

She propped one hand against the doorframe, her body blocking the entrance, clearly not intending to let the recording device into the room.

"Would you like to come in and sit for a while" Lu Yin's gaze fell on her face, his tone flat as he asked.

Helly wanted to ask him why he was here But her phone wasn't on her, and she didn't have any notepaper or a pen.

After a few seconds of hesitation, she moved aside, allowing Lu Yin to enter.

Lu Yin scanned the room. According to the information he had, this two-bedroom, two-hall house was bought by her two months ago.

The decoration style of the house was acceptable, so she didn't renovate it again and moved in directly.

Heley took her phone and typed: 'Mr. Lu, is there something you need'

A fragrant scent filled the air, and Lu Yin turned towards the direction of the restaurant.

There were two rather plain dishes on the table, along with a small pot of porridge.

"Just getting ready for breakfast" he asked.

Hely was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Lu Yin directly sat down on the sofa in the living room. "You eat breakfast first, and we'll talk after you're finished."

".....", said Holly.

After observing Lu Yin for several seconds, he saw that his expression was unchanged and remained calm as always.

She typed: 'Have you had breakfast Want to have it together'

"No, thank you. I've already eaten." Lu Yin refused.

Holly hesitated for a moment longer, said nothing more, and turned to go eat breakfast at the restaurant.

Because of Lü Yǐn's sudden visit, He Lī ate her breakfast listlessly while wondering what Lü Yǐn had come to see her for

She had told An Xiaot Rabbit not to mention her in front of this man.

But Xiao Yabai, she only gave Xiao Yabai the design drawings of the child's clothes and didn't tell Xiao Yabai not to tell Lu Yin about her affairs in Beisicheng.

He slowed his pace, barely eating a few bites. Then he cleared the dishes and carried them into the kitchen, washing them with painstaking slowness. He was trying to waste time, wear down Lu Yin's patience so that he would simply leave.

But I'm going to disappoint her.

Lu Yin was extremely patient. From having breakfast to washing the dishes and coming out of the kitchen, it took him an hour.

He always sat patiently on the sofa in the living room, without a hint of impatience.

Hely sat across from Lu Yin, holding a tablet computer like she was about to charge into battle. A small tea table separated them.

She typed, ‘What does Mr. Lu want to talk about’

"About the child in your belly." Lu Yin said bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Holly froze completely. The blood drained from her face instantly, leaving her pale as paper. She was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time.

For a moment, the atmosphere was terrifyingly silent.

Lu Yin remained silent, letting her calm down on her own.

It took three or four minutes for Holly to slowly come back to her senses. Her hands, clasped together in her lap, were balled into fists, too afraid to meet Lu Yin's gaze.

She didn't expect...she was pregnant. She hadn't even let An Xiaotu know about it before, not even when they had touched.

And this man actually found out.

Thinking about it, she didn't intentionally hide her whereabouts or destination when she left Germany. Even after finding out she was pregnant, she went for regular prenatal checkups. This man could easily find her if he wanted to; she practically had no privacy. The fact that he showed up here today is the best proof of that.

She thought that after leaving T's, she would have little chance of running into him again since she was no longer in the fashion design industry.

But I never expected that after just a few months, he would take the initiative to come looking for me...

Lu Yin waited for her to speak, wanting to hear how she would explain.

Helley took a deep breath, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably as she typed out a message on the tablet, converting it to voice:

‘It wasn't until after I arrived in North City that I discovered I was pregnant; Mr. Lu, please rest assured that I won't use the child to blackmail you or extort anything from you. If you don't trust me, I can draft an agreement or statement stating that this child has nothing to do with you.’

"You mean, to let my child be abandoned and suffer with you" Lu Yin frowned slightly, his words sharp.

He heard that kid say he saw her in North City, and then for some reason, he sent people to investigate her whereabouts, and they found out she was pregnant.

Her face paled further, her lips pressed together tightly, unable to speak.

Even if she gave everything she had, she couldn't provide Lu Yin with the life of luxury and comfort that his children deserved.

So, he's here to steal her child...

And she, was destined to never surpass him.

Given her understanding of this man, he was too cold and heartless. Her desperate pleas would be to no avail.

Lu Yin saw that she had bitten her lips until they bled, and her eyes flickered with the desperate struggle and hopelessness of tears.

His pupils constricted, he said, “Marry me.”

“......” Hally abruptly raised her eyes to him, doubting if she had misheard.

"I said, I'll marry you. I can't possibly watch my child be left alone, and you, I presume, wouldn't want to be separated from the child either," Lu Yin analyzed with reason,

“The most important point is that for children, parents are indispensable. Take Xiao An Nian as an example, during the years when the third mistress was in trouble, he grew up without his mother's company, which led to him not being able to speak until he was several years old. It wasn't until the third mistress returned that the situation improved.”

"Take Little Nuan Nuan, for example. She grew up with her mother and deeply yearned for a father... Fortunately, her family was reunited later on. But who knows how much she longed for a father when she saw the fathers of other children"

"Don't say things like you can find a father for the child, I can't accept my child calling someone else 'daddy'; so, the best solution is to get married."

Helly couldn't refute Lu Yin's words at all.

She knew about An Nian's past situation, and also about Xiao Nuannuan and S Shao before they recognized each other. Thinking about her child in the future was very likely to become one of these situations...I was in pain for a whole week. 。“Good, I will try to be as gentle as possible” 。"Tang Moqing also recalled that night at the hotel last time, he had been too rough with her." 。The dress on her body w...
