Chapter 303: 303: He Cares About the Child in Her Belly_1

Aunt Li nodded with a smile and handed the box back to Yufei, “Miss Jiang, could you please continue to hold this for me, I’ll need it later.”

“Okay.” Yufei carefully placed the box down and asked her, “Aunt Li, are you leaving now?”

“Yes.” Aunt Li bade goodbye to Tianling and his companions, then followed Yufei’s pace and left.

Throughout it all, Yufei didn’t even glance at Tianling once, treating him as if he was nonexistent.

Tianling stared at her departing figure, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Suddenly, a little boy ran towards Yufei and bumped into her. His heart hammered hard against his chest, causing him to instinctively step forwards.

Seeing that she was okay, he stopped himself. Nonetheless, his intention had been obvious.

Yan Yue, standing beside him, took in his reaction. Her face turned sour instantly. Tianling drew back his gaze and met her aggrieved and angry eyes.

He kept his lips tightly pressed, uncertain how to explain his instinctual response.

He was just concerned about Yufei, pregnant with his child, a reflexive worry that something bad might happen to her.

“Yueyue…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Don’t say anything!” Yan Yue hastily covered his mouth, her eyes filled with sorrow, “Tianling, rather than admitting any feelings for her, I’d prefer you say you don’t care about her, okay?”

Tianling’s eyes grew dark, indeed, it wasn’t Yufei he cared about, but the child in her womb.

He gently removed her hand, and flashed a pampering smile, “Silly girl, let’s go. We’re going to see a movie.”

“Hmm.” Yan Yue nodded, smiling, choosing not to press him any further.

As Yufei and Aunt Li exited the mall, Aunt Li patted her chest in relief, exhaling deeply, “We were so close to being found out by Miss Yan. Miss Jiang, you’re so clever. By the way, why do you carry the necklace with you?”

“I keep it with me so I can give it to my mother when the opportunity arises.” Yufei answered nonchalantly.

“Thank heavens you had it, otherwise we might have been found out by Miss Yan.” Aunt Li cheerfully commented.

Yufei’s mood was dampened, she replied listlessly, “Let’s go.”

“Ah, all right.” Aunt Li assumed that Yufei was upset because she saw Tianling and Yan Yue together.

But in reality, it was her failed escape plan that left her dispirited.

She had planned to escape that day, had prepared everything, but ran into Tianling and Yan Yue.

Without them, she would’ve been long gone by now.

Yufei looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with yearning. Oh, how she wished she could hop on a plane and leave.

Back at the villa, she unpacked all the things she had prepared for her escape and laid them out, then lay on the bed, planning her next move.

She didn’t dare to use the computer for fear of leaving any trace behind for Tianling to find out, so she used her phone instead.

Pregnant women often find themselves tired, so Yufei fell asleep while using her phone.

In her dream, she relived a past event.

It was Mid-Autumn Festival. The entire family planned to celebrate it at the old house together.

“Yufei, when is Tianling coming back?” Her grandpa asked from the dining table.

She stood in the living room, putting down her phone, “Grandpa, Tianling isn’t answering his phone.”

“Forget it, let’s not wait for him, come and eat.”

“Grandpa, I’ll go to his office and see, maybe he is working late.”

“Don’t go, you’re pregnant. Don’t run around.”
