Su Bei felt funny when this man mentioned ‘trial marriage.’ “I’m sorry, Mr. Hua. I think you’ve heard what I told Qin Mosheng just now. My family does not have a good impression of rich people. My mother would rather die than see me getting married to you.”
In the end, she emphasized, “Even if I had to give birth to this child, I can’t marry you.”
Her voice sounded steely, and her attitude was firm. There was resolution in her eyes, and no one could change her decision.
The eyes of the man were abstruse and dark, just like the sea of the night. Even though they looked peaceful, one could sense invisible oppression.
His lips arched in suspicion out of the blue. “Your family members will still insist on their thinkings, even if they spell an end to your life?”
Su Bei shook her head. There was a trace of inscrutable sadness in her glazed eyes. “I forgot to tell you that I’m the one who detests rich people the most!”
Her voice was expressionless, but there was tenacity in her tone.
The man nodded. For the next few minutes, both of them were plunged into silence.
The atmosphere in the car was dreary for once. Su Bei felt a little depressed.
Is he thinking of giving up?
Or is he considering the child?
As a man, there must be something that he could not put into words. Thinking of which, Su Bei took a deep breath and said, “If you have regrets, I can raise the child myself…”
“Any cravings?” The man interrupted her.
“Huh?” Su Bei looked at the man with surprise. Her watery eyes met the dark pupils of that man.
He was still smiling as he started the engine. “Didn’t you say you were hungry?”
He did not even ask her for the reason why her entire family stereotyped rich people. Su Bei was also determined to share her disgraceful and well-known history with him.
Yet, he just uttered a question without any emotions.
She really could not keep up with this man’s thought processes.
“What I’m saying is, if you have any regrets, the child can…” Su Bei tried to complete her sentence just now.
“I have no regrets!” The man interrupted her again.
The eyes that were watching her were filled with warmth, happiness, and persistence.
Su Bei was getting dizzy. Doesn’t he want to know her plans with the child?
But again, his attitude said everything. All she needed to do was to give birth to the child!
For a moment, Su Bei felt like they were a pair of longtime lovers and were forced to separate due to their families.
His eyes were overly affectionate and strange to her.
Su Bei inhaled a deep breath. “Mr. Hua, may I ask you something?”
“Go on,” said the man.
“Tell me honestly, why did you choose me?” Su Bei looked at him seriously.
The corner of his lips curled upwards. Then he chuckled softly before casting his gaze on her again. “Is it important?”
“Yes, it is important!” Su Bei looked dignified.
The man said, “You’re the mother of my first child, and I want this baby!”
“Mr. Hua, don’t you think this reason makes no sense at all?” Su Bei continued.
The man gave a complicated smile. “Of course, I’ve taken a little fancy to you. I’m very pleased with you as a woman!”
She face-palmed. “What can I do to make you detest me?”
Su Bei realized that all her conversations with this man could not last for very long.
He started to talk nonsense whenever they were talking about something crucial.
The man’s smile deepened. “I like whatever you do! So, you don’t have to change anything!”
