After playing it in a loop several times, the recorded sound became clearer each time, like a fuse that quickly ignited the flame of his long-standing anger.
Is the child... really Yan Rui's? Xiao Xixi's gentle smile flashed before Situ Leiyan's eyes over and over again, and the look in his eyes never left him with any doubt or even doubt.
Seeing Situ Leiyan's eyes gradually turn cold, Gu Ruolan was filled with joy, but tears still flowed from the corners of her eyes: "Yan, I don't want to, I really... don't want to tell you." Today's recording cut
It turned out to be perfect, even Situ Leiyan deceived him.
Secretly glad that the recording was cut in a timely and perfect manner, Gu Ruolan calmly added fuel to the fire: "Yan, if you are really not sure, you can take her to the hospital for a checkup..." She couldn't help but Situ Leiyan's breathtaking expression.
Her eyes and voice paused unexpectedly. She didn't know whether he would accept this suggestion.
Sure enough, his anger was slowly burning. Afraid that Situ Leiyan still wouldn't accept it, Gu Ruolan didn't dare to hug him again. Instead, he casually walked to the coffee table, poured a cup of xo, and handed it to him carefully while observing carefully.
Watching the change in his expression.
Unexpectedly, he took it mechanically, paused for a moment, and didn't even drink.
After standing there for a long time, he put the wine glass on the coffee table and said quietly: "Gu'er, no matter what, what you told me is right. You can rest, I'm leaving."
Just when Gu Ruolan was about to say something to persuade her to stay, Situ Leiyan had already walked out the door without looking back. Looking at the tampered wine glass, Gu Ruolan was very angry. She was only one step away from succeeding, the wine.
There was a lot of love potion in it, and she had great expectations. She hoped that the previous one could happen again, and even if she did anything to conceive a child in the future, she would still have a reason.
But this time she didn't succeed smoothly. But don't worry, she will have another chance. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. At least - she has established the gap between them!
Slowly pouring the wine into the bathroom sink, an undying smile appeared on Gu Ruolan's lips.
She looked at her watch and it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. She couldn't help but yawned. If he didn't come back... Suddenly she heard the sound of the door and heard the servant's voice coming to report: "Miss Xiao, Mr. Situ is back."
"Thank you, Xiao Cai, you should go to bed early." Xiao Xixi greeted her with an expectant smile.
The eyes of Situ Leiyan who came into view were a little colder, and her smile also faded a little, and she said softly: "How is it? - Are you okay?" Could it be that it was not pleasant.
Situ Leiyan did not answer. He stopped at the entrance and looked at Xiao Xixi who looked calm. No matter what, he would never believe that she would deceive him.
Slowly, he said coldly: "Xiao Xixi, you know, I don't care about anything else, but what I hate most is deception." I don't know if she understands what he means.
Xiao Xixi asked in confusion: "Oh...what happened?" What happened between them? Why did Situ Leiyan say such ambiguous words?
"It's okay." Situ Leiyan's coldness was fleeting, replaced by calmness. Patience, he could still endure until the test results came out. After all, it was already a bit unfair to doubt Xiao Xixi now.
Xiao Xixi, who didn't know why, slowly said: "Perhaps, even if you cheat, there is a reason." I don't know if he is referring to Gu Ruolan. No matter what she has done, maybe it is because of the reason that it is inconvenient to tell. Human nature is good,
She still believes this.
Another prenatal check-up arrived soon, of course, at Situ Leiyan's secret request.
When the doctor decided to extract amniotic fluid, Xiao Xixi already felt that something was wrong. Her maternal instinct made her suddenly get up from the bed and quickly run out of the ward without waiting for the doctor to take measures.
She rushed into the corridor with a panicked look on her face and held Situ Leiyan tightly: "He, they...did they make a mistake today? They want to touch my stomach..." Although her voice was small, it was
expressed her strong resistance.
Regardless of what she read in books, online, or doctors' instructions, Xiao Xixi never thought that prenatal check-ups required touching the fetus in her belly. She was a little frightened, and hurriedly held on to Situ Leiyan, hoping to find a sense of stability and peace of mind from him.
His pale face was full of panic.
"They..." Situ Leiyan paused. He obviously knew that he arranged for the doctor to take the risk of conducting a paternity test during pregnancy, and the doctor's method was to extract amniotic fluid. As expected, Xiao Xixi's self-preservation instinct was alarmed.
Looking at Xiao Xixi's worried expression, he even felt soft-hearted for a moment and wanted to give up, but then the recording in Gu Ruolan's hand seemed to ring in his ears again. He lowered his head and gently hugged her in his arms, whispering
He said: "They are very professional and they want to ensure the safety of the baby. I will accompany you in." At this moment, he felt that he was cruel, but if he were not cruel, maybe...he did not dare to think about it further.
His heart sank for a moment, and he accompanied Xiao Xixi into the ward. Sure enough, she felt much safer now.
Accompanying Xiao Xixi home, she was still a little frightened along the way, sighing: "Situ Leiyan, I didn't expect prenatal check-ups to be so scary. I always thought they were just routine check-ups. I didn't expect you to arrange such a procedure. Although it is
It’s for the sake of the baby, but I really feel scared!”
She naturally and casually put her hands on her swollen belly. The baby is the most important now, even more than herself. As they grow up in her belly day by day, she feels more and more that their new and pure life is more precious than her own.
Situ Leiyan said nothing.
Although Xiao Xixi felt strange, she turned around and looked at him as if he was thoughtful, so she didn't bother him.
After pushing the door open and entering the house, she was greeted by the servant Xiao Cai. Xiao Xixi had become very familiar with the servant through daily interactions. She handed over the bag in her hand with a smile and chatted casually.
Turning around to look at Situ Leiyan, he was already upstairs. Ever since he came back from Gu Ruolan, he didn't know why but he was a little more depressed than before. Xiao Xixi looked at his back and wondered if she was being sensitive.
In the study, Situ Leiyan couldn't help but sit on the large chair.
There was a deathly silence, just like his tense heart at this moment.
Suddenly, the sound of the fax machine printing paper broke the calmness. He suddenly stood up reflexively and went to grab the piece of paper that was slowly being delivered. With just a glance, his heart felt as if he had fallen into a deep pool.
It clearly read: "Three identification results: not biological. Accuracy rate: 99.99%." The black and white words were like a sharp knife carved into his heart.
Situ Leiyan thought he would be furious, but now with the test results in his hand, he slumped down on his seat in panic. The results came out - neither expected nor unexpected.
Xiao Xixi...how could she deceive herself again and again? Is it because she cares, because of love, or because of something else? No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't understand and fell into deep thought.
When lunch arrived, he made an exception and did not eat with Xiao Xixi. He still sat alone in the study room, not moving for a long time, just silent.
Eating alone, she really didn't enjoy it as much as the two of them did together. Xiao Xixi was a little surprised. She originally wanted to take a lunch break, but she was still worried about Situ Leiyan's abnormal reaction in the past few days.
The door of the study room was knocked softly by Xiao Xixi, and she called out tentatively: "Situ Leiyan?" Seeing Situ Leiyan's eyes staring straight at a piece of paper on the table, she was afraid that she would be too abrupt.
, want to turn around and leave.
"Xiao Xixi, let's talk." Situ Leiyan suddenly spoke out of the silence.
Let’s talk? Xiao Xixi didn’t expect that he would propose this idea so solemnly, so she walked in the door confused and sat down next to him.
Situ Leiyan said no more, but slowly handed the paper in his hand to her hand.
When Xiao Xixi saw the words on the paper, her mind went crazy. It read "amniocentesis", "paternity test", "non-biological"... In an instant, she smiled bitterly. It turned out that he still didn't believe it.
It turned out that today's so-called "examination" was just a trap carefully designed by him, waiting for him to get into. The reason was just to test whether the baby in his belly was his biological child.
It is no longer important how the result turned out to be like this. What is important is that Situ Leiyan, who is so aloof and aloof, is a man who is so enigmatic that even she is unfamiliar with him!
Xiao Xixi said calmly: "So, this is your purpose. Situ Leiyan, how can you be so cruel?" So cruel that you let two unborn children take such risks.
"You are so cruel!" Situ Leiyan suddenly roared. It was because of her cruelty that she had deceived him for so long. For so long, he had been living in the lies she had concocted. "I want to know now, what you said
There is a reason for cheating, what exactly does it mean?!"
Xiao Xixi suddenly thought that the sentence he seemed to be saying to himself that night that what he hated most was deception, turned out to be referring to herself. The bitterness filled the air, and she felt that she was a little breathless. Before
, he kept saying so emotionally that even if it was not his child, he still loved her.
From front to back, they are completely different.
It turns out that sometimes, the best language is silence. Xiao Xixi can't think of any words to answer him. At this point, is there anything else she can say that can make his doubts disappear?
And what about his deception—his deception to himself?
"It doesn't matter whether the child is yours or not," Xiao Xixi said lightly. All trust and tenderness are only based on the baby. She would rather not have this love. "Within three days, I will
leave."
Situ Leiyan watched her back in silence as she turned and walked out of the study.
She didn't shed a single tear. Xiao Xixi, she was no longer the petite and immature girl before, but a little woman that he had never understood.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and tore the faxed report into pieces. The scattered fragments fell to the ground, just like his equally hurt and broken heart at the moment.
