Chapter 126 She left while carrying my child.
Leng Shi put down his chopsticks; no matter how hungry he was, he had to appease the person first.
"Okay, let's be honest and have a heart-to-heart talk. Are you willing?"
An Jiaren seemed to see a glimmer of hope, sniffed, and said, "If I tell you the truth, you won't bother me."
Leng Shize's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he spoke, "It depends on the situation."
"Heh~" An Jia laughed angrily. This was obviously bullying her, and she was even happy for a few seconds. "Then I choose not to talk."
"I'm available anytime. Think it over and then contact me. Now, let's eat."
An Jiaren glared at the person opposite her. He was the one who was supposed to ask the question, but she was the one who had to take the initiative.
That's just how he is; he can always turn a passive situation into an active one and seize all the advantageous resources.
She used to be naive and immature, but now she's different; she's matured a lot.
An Jiaren picked up her rice bowl and ate calmly.
Leng Shi ate about 70% full during the meal.
After An Jiaren finished eating, he collected the dishes and went into the kitchen to wash them.
Halfway through washing the pots and pans, he suddenly poked his head out and asked with a grin, "Leng Jiaren, you still haven't told me if my cooking is good or not?"
"It's... edible."
After finishing her meal, An Jiaren was in a good mood. She got up and went to her room to change into loose-fitting loungewear.
Since we can't get rid of him no matter what, we might as well accept the fact that he's going to stay here.
Leng Shi scoffed, "You're lying. I think it tastes great."
After tidying up the kitchen, Leng Shi, like a master of the house, leisurely sat on the sofa and made a phone call to his secretary.
"Xiao Xu, bring my suitcase from my office to the faculty and staff quarters of Jincheng Middle School now."
An Jiaren had just changed her clothes and opened the door when she heard this sentence.
Does that mean he's been living in his office all this time?
An Jiaren realized that her mind was concerned about him again and immediately stopped thinking about it.
That won't work. If you read more books, you won't have the brain to think about these things.
She took the book and sat down on the other side of the sofa.
"How about brewing some tea bags or something?" Leng Shize asked with a smile in his voice.
She's a very particular person; she needs to brew tea while reading, and the teacup must also be beautiful.
An Jiaren glanced at him, shifted her legs, placed the book on the armrest, and curled up in the corner, keeping her distance from him.
"Alright, I'll serve you then."
"I won't drink it," An Jiaren hurriedly said, trying to stop him.
She didn't move, not because she was waiting for him to say that, but because she was drinking more plain water now to reduce the burden on her liver and kidneys.
Leng Shize, who had already stood up, sat back down, for no apparent reason.
The living room fell silent once more.
An Jiaren was reading a book, while Leng Shi was watching her.
She lost interest in reading.
"Sigh~" An Jiaren sighed and closed the book. She was completely under his control. "I can answer two questions for you. Think about them carefully."
As for why there are two questions, it's probably because she likes the number two.
"No need, just answer one question for me."
An Jiaren: You didn't want it yourself.
But this is so unlike my usually meticulous second brother.
He already knows about Xiaoyue's relationship with her, so he won't just ask about Xiaoyue's background, will he?
With a nervous heart, An Jiaren forced herself to remain calm and said, "Go on."
"Have you been happy living in Jincheng all these years?"
An Jiaren frowned; this was the question he wanted to ask!
What does it matter if she's happy or unhappy? 23 years have passed anyway, what's the point of knowing now?
“You said you only need me to answer one question, think it through,” An Jiaren reminded him again of the value of that one question.
Without hesitation, Leng Shi insisted, "On this issue."
"Being happier" is the truth, because I have my baby.
“But I’m not happy at all.” Leng Shi’s tone changed abruptly, his usually calm eyes now devoid of any emotion.
At this moment, his eyes were like a vast, unknown sea, with turbulent waves surging beneath the surface.
He said, "All these years I've been wondering why you left? Why did you leave so quietly?"
"I felt guilty and remorseful, and I kept thinking about it."
"Now, I have the answer."
His gaze sharpened again, like a leopard eyeing its prey.
An Jiaren had never seen him look so aggressive, which frightened her so much that she shrank into the corner of the sofa.
He didn't take a step forward, but remained seated, simply looking at her and saying...
"You feel sorry for your parents who raised you; you feel that there should be no physical intimacy between us; you presumptuously belittle my love for you."
“It’s all your own assumption; you’ve completely forgotten what I said. I told you to grow up well and I’d wait for you. I told you to study hard and wait for me to come back from my vacation. I also told you that I would explain everything to your father and give you an explanation.”
Leng Shize's chest heaved slightly as he gasped for breath. This was the moment when his emotions were at their most volatile.
This was the first time An Jiaren had ever seen her second brother so angry in her life. He was always gentle and kind.
"And you? You're carrying my child and just run away. That's theft, do you know that?"
Under various accusations, the defensive walls that Anja had painstakingly built up collapsed with a roar.
"You're always criticizing me! How am I supposed to face you? You're the older brother I grew up with. If I sleep with you, what am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to get along with you?"
"You slept with me?" The man's handsome features were tinged with sarcasm. "How can you be so sure that I didn't plan this all along and just take advantage of the situation?"
"You say one thing and do another, you hypocrite, how am I supposed to know!" An Jiaren practically yelled; she'd had enough.
She could clearly sense that her second brother was different, but she always thought it was because she had a crush on him and was just being presumptuous, thus misinterpreting his motives.
Her emotions kept fluctuating between liking and disliking him, and she'd had enough. Even if she liked him before, she didn't want any more emotional entanglement with him.
"So, I've changed now. I'll tell you directly, I like you. Ever since I became aware of romantic feelings, I've liked you. Will you marry me?"
like.
No, this shift in tone is too sudden, how is she supposed to respond?
"I'll give you ten minutes to think about it."
After Leng Shi finished speaking, he answered the phone, "Wait a moment at the door, I'll be right there."
The door slammed shut.
The dust that had been stirred up by the argument settled down as Leng Shize left.
What does it matter that he knows everything?
She's not a little girl anymore; she can't be troubled by emotions anymore!
