Chapter 186 Are you ready to propose?

The delivery guy was very cooperative after receiving the money.

"I understand, I understand, the couple had a fight and he was kicked out of the house, right?"

Yu Chuan smiled and nodded.

The elevator stopped on the 8th floor. The deliveryman made a phone call, and it took a while for the call to be answered: "Um, your food is at the door."

Tong Xi had just finished showering, and although she was wearing a loose nightgown, her slightly protruding belly was still quite noticeable.

After all, it's been almost four months.

When the door opened, Tong Xi looked shocked, scared, and flustered.

She instinctively tried to close the door, but the man's arm blocked her way.

Yu Chuan pushed the door open forcefully, and Tong Xi, afraid of falling, had no choice but to give up resisting him.

She quickly turned her back so he wouldn't see her unusual behavior.

Yu Chuan grabbed her wrist, went inside, and closed the door.

The takeout I was holding was placed on the cabinet by the front door.

“Xi’er”.

Yu Chuan's fingers, which were gripping her wrist, trembled slightly. Tong Xi was so flustered that her face turned pale and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.

"You...you go away."

Yu Chuan held her hand, but Tong Xi refused to turn around.

He stepped in front of her: "Xi'er, you..." The moment he lowered his head, Yu Chuan's pupils shrank.

His face was filled with astonishment and disbelief.

"you······"

Tong Xi shook off his grip on her wrist: "Get away from me."

Seeing that she was in a bad mood and was trembling slightly, Yu Chuan quickly picked her up and sat her on the sofa.

He squatted down, his hands clenched into fists.

"Xi'er, is someone bullying you abroad?"

Tong Xi calmed herself down and said, "No."

Yu Chuan's expression gradually cracked as an outrageous idea spread throughout his senses.

"Xi'er, why did you go abroad? Why did you block me? Why didn't you ask your fifth brother to tell me where you are?"

I am not engaged.

Her fair fingers gripped her nightgown tightly, and when Tong Xi sat down, her belly became even more noticeable.

Yu Chuan's eyes reddened.

I want to touch her, but I don't dare.

"I know, you don't need to explain to me."

"I went abroad because I wanted to go abroad. I blocked you because I didn't want to delay or affect your new life. As for not telling you where I am, it's because I don't want to see you."

Yu Chuan scoffed, tears welling up in his eyes and falling onto her legs.

"The night you took me home during the Chinese New Year, something happened..."

"No."

Nothing happened.

Yu Chuan knelt on the ground and gently stroked her cheek: "Xi'er, you denied it too quickly."

"I do have some memory of that night."

"I always thought it was just a dream."

"Apart from that kiss, everything else was just a figment of my filthy imagination."

Tong Xi bit her lip tightly: "Nothing happened, nothing happened."

I left very early that day.

Suddenly losing control of her emotions, Tong Xi burst into tears, just like when she was a child throwing a tantrum.

Yu Chuan comforted her, "Xi'er, be good, don't cry."

He never had the courage to touch her slightly protruding belly, even though he already knew the answer.

With reason returning, Yu Chuan looked at the takeout food on the shelf.

"Are you hungry? Would you like to eat something first?"

He got up and brought the takeout over, but after opening it, he hesitated whether she could eat these things.

It looks spicy and oily.

But thinking of Tong Xi's reddened eyes and nose.

I can't bear it.

"Shall I peel it for you?"

Tong Xi was still sobbing, her emotions not yet calmed down.

When Yu Chuan wiped away her tears, she was very well-behaved, so well-behaved that it broke your heart.

No matter what method she used to have sex with him and get pregnant, he couldn't bear to see her cry.

Tong Xi didn't eat the shrimp he peeled; she put on gloves, picked up the shrimp herself, and bit into it directly.

Helpless, Yu Chuan got up and went to the kitchen to find her something to drink.

Seeing fresh fruit in the refrigerator, I busied myself making a glass of room temperature juice.

Eat slowly.

Tong Xi said to him in a slightly hoarse voice, "I want to drink cola, iced cola."

Yu Chuan hesitated: "This... Xi'er, you now..."

Tong Xi took off her gloves: "I'll go buy them myself."

"I'll go, I'll go buy it for you."

After going downstairs, Yu Chuan called Xu Si'an.

Qiao Xu's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that we've been discovered?"

Xu Si'an pressed the answer button and turned on speakerphone: "A-Chuan? Is there something you need?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was low and hoarse: "Xiao An, please thank Miss Qiao for taking care of Xi'er these past two days."

Qiao Xu's pupils dilated, her face filled with shock, as she fumbled for her phone in Xu Si'an's pocket.

Xu Si'an could barely suppress his smile: "Wife, if you touch me any more, I'll catch fire."

Qiao Xu: ·······

"No, I'll call Xiaoxi."

Xu Si'an pressed down on her hand, which was still in his pocket: "A-Chuan can handle it."

"Honey, it's almost June, are you ready to propose?"

Qiao Xu withdrew her hand.

"What's the rush? Just wait."

In the small apartment, Tong Xi packed her luggage as quickly as possible.

I just didn't expect Yu Chuan to come back so quickly.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw him standing there with a bag from the convenience store.

What Tong Xi didn't know was that he was afraid she would run away, so he never left the building.

I paid extra to have the convenience store deliver the items.

He held her hand, ignoring the suitcase in her hand.

"Weren't you drinking Coke? I bought it."

His calmness made Tong Xi a little intimidated: "Brother Yu Chuan, you..."

"Eat something first, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Yu Chuan went to the kitchen, got a cup, poured a Coke and placed it in front of her, then put on disposable gloves and peeled crayfish for her.

Just as Tong Xi reached for her phone to ask for help, a peeled lobster was stuffed into her mouth.

"Your fifth brother is busy and doesn't have time to save you."

"Let's fill our stomachs first, we can talk about the rest later."

Tong Xi had a good appetite before, but lost it because of Yu Chuan's appearance.

After eating a little, he shook his head: "I'm not eating anymore, it's too greasy."

She took a sip of her cola: "Brother Yu Chuan, don't misunderstand, my stomach..."

"What? Is Xi'er saying you've gained weight recently?"

Tong Xi lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

Yu Chuan sat on the sofa and held her small hand in his big hand: "Silly girl, you've been hiding from me for months, it must have been tough."

"I'm sorry, Xi'er, I went to America to look for you, but I couldn't find you."

He chuckled softly, "I actually thought it was a dream."

Tong Xi pulled her hand away and moved it to the side: "I don't need you to take responsibility."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yu Chuan glanced at the clock on the wall: "Xi'er, no matter how things happened, it has already happened."

“Even if we don’t have children, I will still make things clear to you.”

"I knew I was wrong, terribly wrong, the day we got engaged."

"Perhaps you have long held a very special place in my heart, but perhaps I haven't dared to admit it because of our relationship."

"In the months since we lost contact, I've been recalling everything about you from childhood to adulthood."

He carefully lifted Tong Xi and held her in his lap.

"That night, it was definitely my initiative."

He is a man.

He's a man with past romantic experiences, so it's unlikely that Tong Xi initiated the relationship.

Therefore, he had no grounds to blame Tong Xi.

“Xi’er, I’ve been in love, I’ve had relationships, I’ve experienced love affairs, so I’m not exactly innocent.”

"Don't you young girls all say that a clean reputation is the best dowry a man can give you?"

"If I don't have it, won't you feel like you're at a disadvantage?"
