Chapter 224: Chapter 224: A feeling of him slipping away_1


    Xiao Lang noticed her transformation, his eyebrows raised slightly, understanding that she was putting on an act.


    The child she spoke of probably didn’t exist either.


    He remembered the incident in the buffet restaurant, where she had also bitterly accused Ruan Tianling of being heartless. It turned out that she was also acting back then.


    Despite the harm these two inflicted on her, she did not only merely tolerate and endure. Given a chance to retaliate, she would not hesitate.


    And her method of retaliation was that which would wound them most deeply.


    Only by unsettling them, making them uncomfortable, could she effectively take revenge. A faint smile flashed in Xiao Lang’s eyes. Jian Yufei was not as weak as she seemed.


    Approaching Xiao Lang, she smiled at him: “Let’s go.”


    Though she was smiling, her smile appeared forced. Seeing her up close, he finally noticed the trace of forlorn sorrow hidden in her eyes.


    The man shook his thoughts, his gaze falling on her distressed face.


    His lips tightened; he wasn’t sure if Jian Yufei’s words were true or not. When he took her to the doctor’s last time, she didn’t show any signs of pregnancy. But it had been less than a month after their encounter, so it wouldn’t necessarily show up on the test.


    However, the contraceptive pills she had taken were switched by him and weren’t actually contraceptive pills, so there was a possibility that she was pregnant.


    The look of hesitation on his face said it all. Yan Yue turned pale and felt a heavy sinking feeling.


    “Tianling, is she really pregnant? If she is, what are we going to do? We have just managed to be together, I don’t want anything to separate us.”


    She threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly, her voice choked with emotion: “Tianling, we are obviously in love, why is it so difficult for us to be together? I thought that after your divorce with Jian Yufei, we would be able to be together without any obstructions, without any storms. But now she claims she’s pregnant, with your child. Tianling, would you choose to accept her back because of the child in her belly?”


    The woman in his arms always faced everything with pride, as if she were a princess.


    At this moment, however, because of him, she became fearful and insecure, heartbroken. Seeing her in this state caused a pang of regret in his heart.


    Ruan Tianling reached out, stroking her head gently, comforting her with a smile.
