Shangguan Chen was originally confused by Han Zhiyan's sudden reaction.
As soon as he heard what she said, he hugged her and took a breath, gently raised Han Zhiyan's chin with his hand, looked at her steadily and said, "I went out for an impromptu trip last night and didn't have time to tell you.
Can you apologize?"
"What happened?" Han Zhiyan looked at him and asked while sobbing.
There was a slight difference in Shangguan Chen's eyes, but he still explained seriously, "It's just business."
Han Zhiyan was completely disappointed by Shangguan Chen's words, as if she had lost even her last hope.
While pushing Shangguan Chen's arms away, she stammered with a pale face, "I know, I finally understand."
Han Zhiyan then said blankly, "You don't need to explain anymore, I understand everything."
Shangguan Chen was stunned by Han Zhiyan's move. He smiled bitterly, wondering what his little wife had understood.
He looked at Han Zhiyan and asked in confusion, "Tell me, what do you understand?"
"Shangguanchen, do you love our baby?" Han Zhiyan said lightly without answering his question.
"He is our baby, of course I will love him dearly." Although he didn't know what happened to Han Zhiyan, Shangguan Chen still hugged her tightly and gently placed his big palm on her flat belly.
Seeing Shangguan Chen's serious look, Han Zhiyan said weakly, "But, I...I'm afraid that you won't like him in the future."
Even as Rong Feier said, it would hurt him.
Shangguan Chen chuckled and comforted her gently in her ear, "Don't worry, I will fulfill my responsibility as a father, love him well, and raise him to grow up healthily."
"Really?" Han Zhiyan asked with tears in her eyes, looking at Shangguan Chen expectantly.
"Don't you believe me?" Shangguan Chen looked at Han Zhiyan with a half-smile and asked.
Han Zhiyan's thoughts were completely disrupted. She suddenly felt that Shangguan Chen in front of her was a bit unreliable, but looking at his serious look, it seemed that what he said was true.
And Rong Fei'er's words are still swirling in his mind. Should he believe her words?
What should she do? She didn't dare to imagine that Shangguan Chen was such a cold-blooded person. She didn't even dare to think that he had known about this for a long time.
During the days since she was pregnant, he had cared for and pampered her so meticulously that she really couldn't let herself imagine that he was just using the baby.
Looking at Han Zhiyan in a daze, he always felt that she had something on her mind. Shangguan Chen frowned and asked softly, "Yanyan, is there something you didn't tell me?"
Hearing Shangguan Chen's words, Han Zhiyan didn't pay much attention to it and just shook her head gently.
Han Zhiyan pushed away his arms with a calm face, no longer crying and said, "I'm tired..."
As he spoke, he lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.
Shangguan Chen also knew that the mood swings of pregnant women were unpredictable, so he didn't think much about it. After covering Han Zhiyan with the quilt, he walked into the bathroom to wash up.
Han Zhiyan, who had her eyes closed, did not fall asleep at all. When she felt Shangguan Chen leaving, she breathed a sigh of relief.
For some reason, she felt a little unfamiliar facing Shangguan Chen at this time, and his embrace was no longer warm, and even facing him made her feel a little depressed.
Rong Fei'er's words kept echoing in Han Zhiyan's mind, and she kept thinking of all the scenes in the iron house outside her ancestral home. The repeated and intertwined images made her feel that all of this was true.
She must protect the baby in her belly, prevent anyone from harming him, and ensure that he can come to this world safely.
